Orion's pretty daughter-in-law

Chapter 118 Uphill Picnic
Righting?Yun Xiaoting is still sitting and daydreaming?Luo Jinxiu laughed.

Moreover, if the Yun family really went to other people to bow their heads and make a fuss, the master would not know about it?Stupid or not.

In fact, Mr. Zheng did know about it, including that Yun Xiaoting coaxed Mr. Zheng to ask for more than 100 taels of silver, most of which were subsidized to her natal Yun's family, and she kept a small part for herself, but for Yun Chengyao's sake , I just turned a blind eye and pretended not to know, but I definitely didn't like the Yun family in my heart, especially Yun Xiaoting.

Not only did the old man have no intention of helping Yun Xiaoting at all, but he has already hired a matchmaker to show Mr. Zheng a real wife whose family background is comparable to theirs, and Mr. Zheng has no objection to this.

Yun Xiaoting didn't know about these things at all, and Zhou Xi'er didn't find out about them, but one can imagine that when Mr. Zheng really has his first wife, the Zheng family's back house will be very exciting.

Mrs. Xu didn't have the slightest affection for the Yun family, so she didn't feel any surprise after hearing these things.

In order to solve the problem, the Yun family no matter how much trouble they will bring to Yun Xiaoting if they go to Yun Xiaoting, whether Yun Xiaoting can really raise so much money, and even for the next life to be better, except for the 500 taels owed Yes, I need an extra sum to keep for living.

On the other hand, Yun Xiaoting, after finding out how much money the Yun family was short of and giving them just the right amount, she asked Mr. Zheng for an extra sum to keep for herself. Showed his selfish side.

Are you saying they're doing it wrong?It’s not entirely true, it’s not that there is a good saying that people are not for themselves, and heaven and earth are destroyed. This family is just showing something inherent in human nature. It may be ugly, or it may make people shake their heads, but it is so realistic. exists.

"Going up the mountain?" Yan Jingcheng looked at Yun Jinghao and the other with surprise, "Why do you suddenly want to go up the mountain?"

Yun Jinghao said: "There are many medicinal herbs with good medicinal effects in the mountains, which are better than those sold in the drugstores in the county. Jinxiu will use them when making meals for grandma. I will go and pick some."

Mrs. Xu did bring some herbs with her when she came this time, but since Luo Jinxiu helped her recuperate her body with remarkable results, these herbs were basically put aside. It's inconvenient to pick them out again, most of the herbs in the medicinal diet that Luo Jinxiu made for Xu these days were bought by Yun Jinghao from the county when he went to the Anbaotang every day.

However, as the efficacy of the medicinal materials increased by a few points after passing through the words of wood-type abilities, they still could not meet Luo Jinxiu's requirements, so Yun Jinghao came up with the idea of ​​picking the medicinal materials himself.

Yan Jingcheng's heart moved, and he immediately said: "I will go too! Since I am helping my grandmother to collect medicine, as a grandson, I should also do my part, and I can't just let you work hard."

Yun Jinghao said indifferently: "Yes, but the more precious medicinal materials grow in the deep mountains, and there are many wild animals in the deep mountains. It is best to protect yourself with weapons."

Luo Jinxiu also opened his mouth at this time, "I'm going with you, and it just so happens that I haven't been in the mountains for a long time, and there are some wild vegetables and wild fruits to pick in the mountains at this time, you go to gather herbs, and I'll go for a walk. "Although it feels weird to go outing in summer, there happened to be a light rain two days ago, and the ground temperature has dropped a little recently, so it's good to climb a mountain to change your mood.

Yun Jinghao warned: "I'll go to the mountains to gather medicine, but you can't follow me."

"Don't worry, I won't make trouble for you in the past, just walk around the area where you used to hunt."

After the three of them went to talk to Mrs. Xu about their schedule for today, unexpectedly Mrs. Xu also became interested, "In that case, why not go with me too."

Everyone's complexion changed slightly, Yan Jingcheng said nervously: "Grandmother, what are you talking about, you are not in good health, so you are not suitable for climbing."

Mrs. Xu said indifferently: "I've gotten better recently, it's not a problem! The environment on the mountain is better, and I heard from the villagers that the products in the mountain are quite rich. As Jinxiu said, there are a lot of wild vegetables and fruits. I also want to follow Take a pick."

"This..." Yan Jingcheng quickly looked at Madam Yu, trying to get her to persuade her, but the latter said with a smile: "Master Jing Cheng, don't worry, Madam is indeed in good health. Didn't Madam Biao also say that, It will be more beneficial for the recovery of the body if Madam needs to go out for a walk more, don't worry, we will bring all the guards with us, there will be no danger."

Mrs. Xu made up her mind, Yan Jingcheng had no choice but to be a junior, Yun Jinghao looked at his daughter-in-law, Luo Jinxiu also gave him a reassuring look, so she simply refused to persuade her.

Not long after breakfast, the group got ready to go. They prepared some pancakes that they ate on the mountain and the beef stewed badly in the morning. They left Steward Ji and other family servants to look after the house. Let's go, go up the mountain in a mighty way!
The huge battle on their side shocked the villagers again, thinking they were going to settle accounts with the Yun family again, but after asking, they found out that they were going to have a picnic on the mountain, cough.

At least according to Luo Jinxiu's statement, Yun Jinghao and Yan Jingcheng's serious business is to collect herbs, but the rest of them are actually going out for a picnic in essence, there's nothing wrong with it!
The villagers said: They really don't understand the world of the rich!
People in the village go up the mountain to pick some wild vegetables or mushrooms to add to the family dishes when life is difficult. If you are lucky, you may also catch a pheasant or something to taste the meat. Usually, who is free to go up the mountain.

Although it is generally said that there will be no large beasts if you don't go too deep, but no one can say whether there will be a just in case?Besides, there are a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ants in the mountains, and the insides are not poisonous, which makes it easy for the villagers not to make fun of their own lives. There is no serum for them these days.

But for the people in the Duke's Mansion, there are more than a dozen guards accompanying them for protection, surrounded by Mrs. Xu, Luo Jinxiu and Nanny Yu, and checking for any danger first. There is really no need to worry about these things.

Summer is the time when the vegetation in the mountains grows very well. The leaves in the forest are green and full of vitality. Occasionally, a chubby rabbit that pops out of the grass eats green grass with a three-petal mouth , I can hear cicadas singing and birds singing from time to time, everything is full of wildness, the nose is full of the fragrance of green grass soil full of natural flavor, feeling the majesty slowly blowing over the face, this kind of whole body is surrounded by nature It feels that people relax their body and mind unconsciously, and they can't help but close their eyes and feel everything around them with their hearts, and even have the urge to open their arms and embrace nature.

When he first entered the mountain, Yun Jinghao was not in a hurry to separate from them. Instead, he told Mrs. Xu and others about the situation in the mountain, such as which area had more wild vegetables and fruits; which area had more small prey, such as pheasants. Wild ducks and hares are haunted, suitable for hunting; where the mountain roads are rough and difficult to climb, there are more poisonous snakes, try to avoid them, etc.

In order to protect Mrs. Xu's safety, the guards of the Duke's Mansion carefully wrote down these precautions. By the way, when pheasants and hares appeared on the way, they would also shoot a few for their lunch.

It was also at this time that Luo Jinxiu saw the skills of these guards for the first time.

Someone took out a dart out of nowhere and aimed it at the wild game not far away and threw it with a 'swish', hitting the heart of the wild duck; The pheasant is fixed on the tree trunk; there are also those who are accustomed to using knives, just throw the knife out, and let the hare's head fall to the ground. Don't be too miserable. The poor fat rabbit even lost its head and limbs Still twitching nervously.

The guards displayed their supernatural abilities. Although they inevitably felt a bit overkill when they used them, it also opened Luo Jinxiu's eyes. By the way... the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Walking to the halfway up the mountain, more than a dozen prey had already been killed. Luo Jinxiu took Mrs. Xu and Madam Yu and two other maids from the Duke's Mansion, and picked a lot of fresh wild vegetables and mushrooms. There were enough ingredients for lunch. .

It was also at this time that Yun Jinghao and Yan Jingcheng parted ways with them and continued walking to the deep mountains. Xu was worried about their safety, so he specially assigned the two best guards to them, and the others came to Yun Jinghao before. Rest in the place where you open a small stove for yourself.

After the guards found a pool of running water not far from the open space, they asked Mrs. Xu for instructions, and then two guards who were good at swimming jumped into the water. They caught several big fish in a short time, and the food became more abundant!
A group of people work together, a few people go to collect firewood and come back to make a fire, a few people are responsible for checking the surrounding environment to avoid any danger, and the rest of the people pack the ingredients by the running water, wash vegetables and mushrooms, remove the scales from big fish, and skin the game Hair removal, internal organs, etc. are in full swing.

Mrs. Xu definitely can't do these tasks, but watching from the sidelines feels very fresh. When I was in the Duke's Mansion, I didn't have the opportunity to watch these chores, and I never thought that I would be interested in these things one day.

Luo Jinxiu didn't have to deal with the ingredients, she just had to wait for the others to clean up the ingredients, and she could cook them herself.

Counting it, she hadn't gone up the mountain for a long time, and when she revisited her old place, she couldn't help but think of the first time when she and Yun Jinghao saved their private money for themselves and made their first pot of gold.

In fact, looking back now, since the boss behind Baiweiju is the son of a well-connected household servant like Shen Qinghe, what fresh ingredients can the shopkeeper want to get?The reason why the other party was willing to accept their small amount of white fungus and bamboo fungus at the beginning was probably because they saw that they were struggling and wanted to help them.

Although she might be able to think of other ways to make money without Shopkeeper Lu, she has to remember this favor.
