Qi Mujiu couldn't help but open his mouth wide when he saw Ye Mengwen clip those mussel shells into the basin in a few strokes, and put some more into the stove to continue burning them, his movements were skillful and dry.
"What? Haven't seen people working?" Ye Mengwen said somewhat in a bad mood, "You guard this stove well, next time the mussel shells are burnt through, clip them to the basin yourself, I won't help you again."
Qi Mujiu nodded his head as he sniffed.
After Ye Mengwen left, he couldn't help but look at his hands.
It was the same hands, he didn't believe that he couldn't do this work.
Qi Zhixuan, who was sitting on the tree trunk, couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this, Uncle Nine can be really stupid!
But ... stupid is also really stupid.
Such a little thing can not do well, no wonder the newly married daughter-in-law dislikes him.
But there is one thing that even Qi Zhixuan can not figure out.
He is a person who practiced martial arts, although he is sitting on the trunk of the tree and is not very close to them, but what Ye Mengwen and the ninth uncle said, he heard it clearly.
Knowing that the ninth uncle used to be a prince, Ye Mengwen still disliked the ninth uncle for not being able to do things, which really made him feel very surprised.
If you do ordinary peasant women, learned that their remarriage is a prince, even if it was once, the heart must also be very frightened, or ... happy as hell, the nine uncles to hold well.
The result is that people let the nine uncle work, but also dislike the nine uncle dry bad.
It is really different!
Of course, her daughter, Jiang Yuqi, was also different from the norm.
"Zhi Xuan!" Seeing that there was no one in the yard, Qi Mu Jiu walked to the tree and waved at Qi Zhi Xuan, "Come down, I have something to say to you."
"How did Uncle Jiu know I was here?" Qi Zhi Xuan jumped down from the tree and asked with a smile.
He had originally asked the guards to come over to guard Qi Mu Jiu, but once he thought about what had happened in the past two days, he was a little uneasy, so he came over in person.
He didn't expect Qi Mu Jiu to actually discover him.
"Because the secret guards like to hide in the trees the most, not to hide ... from you I found someone hiding in the trees a few days ago to stare at me, it should be the secret guards sent by father, since you guys came, but did not see these people again." Qi Mu Jiu laughed.
Qi Zhi Xuan: "..."
Uncle Nine is indeed a smart person, only that he has been pretending to be a pig eating a tiger, and those people in the capital have not realized it.
Even the Emperor was fooled into thinking that Ninth Uncle really didn't know anything.
"Zhi Xuan, did you send someone to check? Is it because I live in the Ye family that someone is deliberately targeting them? Was Ye Qingze implicated by me?" Qi Mu Jiu lowered his voice and asked.
"Ninth uncle don't be anxious, I have already sent people to check, but ... I didn't bring many people out this time, I can't check it out for a while, I have already sent someone to the county office with a token, and magistrate Huang will also help a piece of the check, it won't be long until there should be an answer." Qi Zhi Xuan hurriedly said.
"I've already fallen to such a state, the ones who still want to deal with me are definitely my brothers, I'm the first born, they won't let me go." Qi Mu Jiu sighed and said.
"Uncle Nine don't be anxious, at least the Emperor is on your side, otherwise he wouldn't have given me permission to bring people over to protect you." Qi Zhi Xuan said and lowered his voice, "My grandfather said that the Emperor is actually protecting Ninth Uncle by exiling him to this remote place."
Qi Mu Jiu was slightly stunned at his words, and only after a moment did he say, "Even if he really had this intention, it wasn't for my own good, I haven't suffered since I was a child, doesn't that old man know that I can't feed myself?"
"The Emperor probably wants to let Ninth Uncle have a good experience." Qi Zhixuan coughed lightly and said.
"He didn't let me have a good experience when I was young, I'm thirty-one this year and he's only thinking of letting me support myself, this isn't pitting me, what is it?" Qi Mu Jiu said and skimmed his mouth, "You don't have to excuse that old man, I won't recognize him anymore anyway."
Qi Zhi Xuan, however, didn't believe it and deliberately said, "If the Emperor now decrees to pardon Uncle Nine and reinstate Uncle Nine's title of Prince, what would Uncle Nine do? Not return to the capital and disown the Emperor?"
"I'm not stupid, I definitely want to go back to the capital and continue to be my prince ah, who would have trouble with glory and wealth?" Qi Mu Jiu said and patted Qi Zhi Xuan's shoulder, and was about to tease his nephew for a few moments when he realized that Ye Meng Wen had come out of the stove room again.
"This is ... my nephew Qi Zhi Xuan, he came to visit me." Qi Mujiu said in a hurry.
Ye Mengwen nodded at his words, "Don't just chat, keep an eye on the mussel shells burning in the stove, whether I can earn silver or not, it all depends on it, don't you dare pit me."
After Ye Mengwen finished speaking, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, "Yu Qi, you're back!"
Her daughter had been gone for two hours, Ye Mengwen was still a little worried.
"I cooked sour plum soup and hung it in the well water to freeze, come over and try it." Ye Mengwen said while running to the well water side to bring up the bucket, which held a jar containing the sour plum soup she had boiled early in the morning.
"Delicious!" Jiang Yuqi quickly drank a bowl.
The day was a bit hot, and it was already close to noon, so coming back from outside and drinking this cool bowl of sour plum soup, the whole person was incomparably refreshed.
When Qi Mujiu saw this, he quickly took two empty bowls and came over.
Ye Mengwen was somewhat speechless.
This was something she had specially boiled for her daughter.
However, she still poured a bowl for Qi Mujiu and Qi Zhixuan.
Before, right, she really felt that Qi Mujiu was good, after all, this face was still good-looking, and the person was honest, but since she learned that Qi Mujiu was a royal son, she suddenly felt that this man didn't smell good anymore.
They were not destined to be a real couple, and Ye Mengwen certainly wouldn't waste her time on him.
Therefore, she should make use of Qi Mujiu however she wanted, otherwise it would be too much of a loss.
Women, it's still okay to feel sorry for their men once in a while.
Sooner or later, she and Qi Mujiu will be divorced, he is not her man, there is no need to be too polite.
After Ye Mengwen suffered those blows, the whole person thought about it and didn't care about the world and rules.
"Uncle Jiu you drink, I'm not thirsty." Qi Zhi Xuan watched Qi Mu Jiu hand over the sour plum soup with a heartbroken face, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.
Ninth Uncle was obviously trying to eat alone and didn't want to share it with him, so he wouldn't force himself.
But then again, Ninth Uncle was quite childish in some ways, like a child.
It's just a bowl of sour plum soup, is that so bad?
When Ninth Uncle Fang took two bowls and ran his ass over to Ye Mengwen to ask for the sour plum soup, Qi Zhi Xuan hated that he could disappear in place.
It was just quite humiliating!
"Drink it, you've been sitting on that tree for an hour and haven't had a sip of water, although I can't bear to give it to you, but seeing as you're protecting me with such dedication, I can't eat it alone." Qi Mu Jiu said while shoving the bowl into Qi Zhi Xuan's hand.
Qi Zhi Xuan: "..."
Ye Mengwen couldn't help but laugh when she saw this and whispered in Jiang Yuqi's ear, "This uncle and nephew are both quite stupid, if it wasn't for their royal origins, they would've been screwed over a long time ago."
"That's not necessarily true!" Jiang Yuqi smiled, "Mother must not be confused by appearances."
