The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 274

Concubine Su pulled the handkerchief in her hand, pondered for a moment, and finally became annoyed again, "Hurry up, why hasn't there been any news yet?"

The old mammy was very anxious for the spies who were looking for news, and she was always in time on weekdays, but this time, she didn't know why she was so delayed.

Fortunately, not long after, an unremarkable little maid finally sent the news in by taking advantage of the tea delivery.

The old mother became more and more frightened as she watched, and she hurriedly reported by the imperial concubine's ear, "Your Majesty, this girl from the Lu family is really a bit... The news came back from the investigation. At the end of summer, those few people sent by the Ministry of Agriculture to the south were planted. The double-cropping rice is the method that the crown prince wrote outside and sent it back. In fact, it came from this girl Lu. The happy hot pot in Xishi, as well as the winter vegetable planting outside the city, were also thought up by this girl. And the prince Those fur dolls brought back for the princess..."

The imperial concubine had never seen Xiaomi before, and she thought that she must be unparalleled in beauty. The prince is young, so it is understandable that he loves beauty, but she did not expect Xiaomi to win with his whimsy, which is a bit weird.It even made her feel more and more dangerous. There was always a chill down her spine, but also a hint of excitement.

In any case, the prince's deep-rooted love is the greatest opportunity.Even the man whose wisdom surpassed that of the entire Dayuan, Miss Lu, couldn't escape the fact of her humble background.The emperor will never allow her to be the crown princess, and the crown prince is stubborn and has his own ideas. As long as the father and son have a dispute because of this, they will...

"Send a message to the outside of the palace. This palace misses the dim sum made by my mother. If Xiangye is free, please send him a box."

"Your Majesty is wise, Master Xiang just sent a message together, and will come to deliver snacks tomorrow morning."

The old mama quickly bent down and patted the horse lightly.

Sure enough, the concubine's face became more joyful, and she nodded with a smile.

Different from the insidious schemes in Lixiu Palace, in Guangming Palace, because of the west slanting sunlight shining in, it is the time of day when the scenery is the best and the brightest.

But to deceive everyone, everyone is eager to tuck their heads into their necks. The maids and eunuchs are busy silently, for fear of offending the master.

Except for His Highness's personal eunuch, outsiders can't easily enter the study room. At the moment, a large screen with twelve sandalwood bases separates a simple small space. Behind the screen is a huge wooden basin. Eunuch Fu is busy. Then, from time to time, scoop out the melted ice water in the basin, and replace it with fresh ice cubes.The cold air hit his face, even in this increasingly warm spring day, he couldn't help shivering.But Xiaomi, who was relying on clothes in the basin, was still blushing, as if there was a hot spring under her, not ice that could freeze people to death at all.

Eunuch Fu secretly raised his head, glanced at the master sitting beside him, and sighed softly in his heart.

He had always been curious, wanting to meet this girl who made his master worry about him all the time, but he didn't expect it to be in such a situation.

It would be fine if the girl regained her health, but if not, I'm afraid the master...

Gao Ren also jumped around the wooden basin, "What should we do, damn priest, who is doing sacrifice?"

Feng Ze raised his head suddenly, his brows were tightly frowned, for some reason he was suspicious of the island to the east.

Three days, only three days, if he can't think of a way, Xiaomi will die forever, Yin and Yang will be separated!
"Go find Elder Chen, Elder Jiang!"

Elder Chen?Elder Jiang?
Gao Ren's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he shouted, "That's right, why did I forget these two old fellows! They are all hard-headed, especially Elder Jiang, who has practiced Frost Palm for many years. Lose some internal strength, maybe it will be fine."

The more he talked, the happier he was, and he turned and ran away.

Feng Ze bowed his head and held Xiaomi's wet shoulders in his arms, very firm, "Xiaomi, don't be afraid, I will definitely save you!"

Eunuch Fu felt sad when he heard it, and retreated quietly...

At Laoxiong Ridge in the far north, at this time, compared with the spring breeze in Kyoto, there are still some traces of winter. When the sun is about to set, the air immediately becomes cold.

The women of each family were busy frying and cooking in the kitchen, and occasionally ran to the gate of the yard and shouted at the naughty children outside the door.

"The leftover dog, go home for dinner!"

"Tie Daner, come back quickly, if you dare to get covered in dirt, your legs will be broken!"

"Shitouer, there is stew at home, if you don't eat it, you will lose your share."

Although the voices of loving mothers calling their children are different, they all have the taste of pampering and loving.

The naughty boys scattered like soldiers who heard the order, threw down the branches or mud in their hands, wiped a couple of them on their trousers or underarms with their small hands, and then pretended to be clean and well-behaved, and ran home Waiting for the meat.

Needless to say, the old women with piercing eyes will definitely notice their little tricks, twist their ears and carry them to the well to wash them vigorously.

The old people in the family did not stop them, and squatted at the door with a smile to refill a pot of shredded tobacco. After smoking slowly, they sat at the table and waited for the hot food to be served.

Although Xiaomi has not been in the village for a long time, the fields at the foot of the mountain have to be reorganized, fertilized and sown, the corn seedlings have to be moved out of the vegetable shed, and the new yards inside and outside the mountain pass are about to start construction. Everything is busy, orderly, and thriving. , everyone is full of confidence.

The old ladies were thinking about choosing a good wife and son-in-law for their children, and the old men were counting on their fingers whether they should also build a new yard at home.

In the Lu family compound, Chen Yuexian's belly was getting bigger and bigger. Aunt Jiang and Bihe didn't dare to let her get involved in the work. On weekdays, walking from the bottom of the ridge to the top of the ridge and going back at night was the most labor-intensive thing. Just move your mouth.

Tonight, the old couple of the Chen family also went to the mountain to join in the fun. Mrs. Jiang deliberately added two delicious dishes, six hot and cold dishes, and warmed a pot of wine.

It stands to reason that the dinner table for the Lu family of four, the Chen family of two, and the six of them is considered lively, but without Xiaomi, it seems like the whole world is missing, and it feels deserted no matter what.

Shopkeeper Chen raised his hand to pour wine for Father Lu, and said with a smile, "I don't know where that girl Xiaomi has gone? I heard that the southwestern region is barren and the climate is hot and humid. I'm afraid this girl will suffer."

Father Lu seems to have let go of some big burden these days, and he rarely stays stuck in the study. Maybe he feels that his daughter is not at home. Besides watching a group of naughty boys study, he goes down the mountain to wander around in his spare time. Let everyone see it with joy.

Chen Yuexian was afraid that his father would make his father-in-law miss his sister-in-law, so he quickly interrupted with a smile, "Father, Xiaomi is the smartest, no matter where he goes, he will not lose himself, maybe he will write a letter one day saying that there is good business in the Southwest , Let the family send someone over there!"

"That's true," shopkeeper Chen didn't understand the girl's intentions, and quickly changed his words, "Sometimes I think, if Xiaomi is my daughter, it would be great, old man, I will help even if I fight this old bone If she does business in all the state capitals of Dayuan, she must be rich."

Everyone laughed, Lu Jiageng read the family heirloom, and nowhere did he think of Xiaomi as an outlier.But it is really thanks to her that today is a good day.Otherwise, books are good, but you won’t be full when you’re hungry.

Lu Er Er couldn't bear to sit for a long time, so he ate his fill indiscriminately, so he told his elders and ran down the mountain to find someone to learn kung fu.

The bodyguard recommended by Mrs. Tie before she left had already sent men to it a few days ago. Although they all looked a little old, they were very skilled. Not to mention protecting the safety of Lao Xiongling, even if they went to battle to kill the enemy, they would not be here. Next.

The villagers of Laoxiongling are also in the mountains and fields, fighting with leopards, tigers and wolves, and they are also sturdy in their bones.After barely getting along for a few days, they just hung shoulders with these bodyguards and called them brothers and sisters, drank big bowls of wine and ate meat, and became very close.

Originally, these bodyguard masters were just a little older, it was too hard to walk the bodyguards, and the family also had to take care of the young and old, so they had some plans to come to Laoxiongling.

Seeing that Laoxiongling is rich, the folks are warm and honest, and the leading Lu family is even more generous, they all decided to move their family here and take root in the future, so that their children and grandchildren can escape the fate of licking blood.

But they planned well, but they didn't accomplish anything, and they couldn't make any demands, so they held back their strength and patrolled in several shifts day and night, protecting Laoxiongling like an iron cylinder.

Not to mention others, even Xuanming's staff were almost spotted by them several times.

In a valley not far from Laoxiongling, in a cave in the shade, Xuan Wu was roasting rabbits with seven or eight brothers.The weather is warm in spring, and the small animals have come out, so they have a chance to fight their teeth.

Xuan Wu sat on the side with a smile and didn't eat a few mouthfuls. Someone asked him, "Fifth brother, why don't you eat?"

Xuan Wu waved his hands and said with a smile, "I eat a lot at noon, you guys eat!"

Sitting next to him was Xuan San who led the team, slapped him on the shoulder, and snorted coldly, "You boy, I'm afraid you eat too much of the good ones, so you don't like this black rabbit!"

When Xuan Wu was punctured, he didn't blush, but said proudly, "What the third brother said is that Lu guy eats well, and Miss Mi is kind-hearted. Even when he was away from home, he told the little girl at home to leave me food every day. And it’s double servings, it’s too much to eat.”

Xuan San was envious, gritted his teeth, and said, "No wonder you have gained so much weight, kid. Let me remind you, it's okay to be greedy, don't waste your time, and delay your business. Be careful that the Lord throws you back into the camp and reheats."

Xuan Wu thought of the sternness of the elders, he shivered, and immediately decided in his heart to share more than half of the brothers' meals in the future, but he couldn't eat any more.

The brothers were just joking, Xuan San tore the rabbit's leg and frowned and said, "The lord ordered the brothers to come here to protect Miss Xiaomi. As a result, Miss Xiaomi is in the capital at the moment, but it's a different journey. If so When I go back, I am afraid that the Lord will make other arrangements, so why not send a brother to deliver the letter. Let the Lord make arrangements for everything!"

"Yes, the lord gets along very well with the people in this village. Even if Miss Xiaomi is not around, he is still willing to keep the village safe."

Xuan San responded, and said, "However, the bodyguards recommended by Mrs. Tie are really good, there are a few good ones, even if we don't stay, they can still protect the safety of this village."
