The Cultivation of Concubine

Chapter 61 The witty brother-in-law (3)
Ajiao thought it was her words that made the prince angry, so she hurriedly added: "However——if the prince likes it, the slaves can learn from it." She owed him so much money, even if she should be treated like a cow or a horse.

These words are useful, Xiao Heng immediately nodded.

After leaving the city gate, the carriage drove for another two hours, and it was not until evening that they arrived at the village.

This time when Ajiao came back, due to time constraints, he did not inform his family.Although he hasn't returned home for more than three years, it seems that there hasn't been much change in the village.Just after the new year, every house is pasted with brand-new Spring Festival couplets and red lanterns in front of the door, and it is full of joy.

Zhusheng didn't know the way, so Ajiao opened the curtain to show the way, while pointing the way, he also said to Xiao Heng beside him: "Master, look there, when I was young, I often brought my sister to play by the stream. Once I accidentally fell into the water, although I was fine, I cried for a long time... and there..."

After leaving the mansion, the little girl became more active, not as trembling as when she was in the mansion, but a little more lively and cute at this age.Xiao Heng saw it, and thought: That's right, she's just a little girl who hasn't grown up yet.

Ajiao knew that Shi Zi likes to be quiet, so she was a little noisy at the moment.But she was excited, but she couldn't restrain it. When she realized it, she immediately stopped talking, her ears were burning hot, and she said in embarrassment: "I haven't come back for three years, this servant is a little excited..."

But Xiao Heng said: "It's not in the way." Then he thought of something, and said to Ajiao, "Now that you are at your house, don't call yourself a slave."

Ajiao felt it made sense, and nodded quickly, "Yes, I understand." After saying that, she looked outside happily.

"Brother Zhusheng, this is the place." Ajiao hurriedly said.

Looking at the familiar house outside the carriage, she felt a little excited.This is a very ordinary small farmyard with bare grape racks covered with snow.There are several blooming plum trees planted on both sides, under the plum tree on the left is a stone millstone, next to the plum tree on the right are chicken coops and vegetable fields, and the yard is surrounded by railings.

Right now in the yard there is an eight or nine-year-old boy who is throwing snowballs with a twelve- or thirteen-year-old girl.

Ajiao was a little belatedly and timid because of her closeness to the country, her eye sockets were hot, and she looked at the people in the yard without blinking.

Seeing her appearance, Xiao Heng got out of the carriage first, and then handed her his hand.

A Jiao looked down at his hands, bent her lips and said, "Thank you, Shizi." Then she put her hands in his palms and jumped out of the carriage.

The movement outside alarmed the people in the yard. The eight or nine-year-old boy turned his head and glanced at the carriage, but the little girl in the red jacket looked at it suspiciously, and then called out to the inside. "Mother" a few times.

"What's the matter? What are you talking about, is your father drunk again?" The voice from inside was full of anger.
