Old Mrs. Li was startled and quickly helped the old man, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
The village chief raised his hand to point at the group of people leaving. After all, he was still in awe and could only be cruel. He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.
Turning back to look at Li Laosi, Liu Biaotou, and several other villagers, he swallowed his words again.
"I just think... these people look quite fierce and I thought they were bad guys."
Li Laosi, Liu Biaotou and others all laughed, "The village chief is right, we thought they were bad guys just now. But these people It was brought by Ye Shan, saying he is Mr. Ye's brother."
Mrs. Li also smiled and agreed, comforting the village chief, "Yes, this noble man is very easy-going, and he also ate a bowl of chicken noodle soup and said that Hongying's craftsmanship is better than The imperial chef is fine."
The old lady was proud of her daughter-in-law, but the village chief felt weak and found an excuse to chase the villagers away. "You go and continue patrolling. I will discuss something with the fourth child and Liu Biaotou. "
The villagers didn't take it seriously and left laughing and gossiping.
For a moment, only Mrs. Li, Mr. Li and Mr. Liu were left in front of the door. The village chief quickly pulled them together and whispered.
"You...you don't know who that noble person was just now!"
He raised his hand and pointed hard at the black sky above his head.
Mrs. Li and the other three blinked a few times, but didn't understand for a long time.
The village chief stamped his feet anxiously, "It's the one from the palace!"
Mrs. Li took a breath of air and her legs felt a little weak.
Li Laosi and Liu Biaotou's expressions changed even more. They had had a fight with someone just now.
"It turns out they didn't use all their strength just now. I thought I won the battle." Liu Biaotou said in a low voice.
The focus of warriors is always so strange.
He didn't care about the person's identity. Instead, he cared about winning or losing, and that he had just been played!
Li Laosi took a deep breath, thought carefully about what was disrespectful, and said, "I didn't dare to look carefully last time in the court. I really didn't recognize it just now. However, I guess the nobleman came here today and didn't want to make it public. Let's Just pretend that you don't know each other."
Mrs. Li held on to the door frame and told her, "You guys continue to work, Mr. Ye is fine here, I'll go in and have a look."
After that, she walked back to the courtyard crookedly, and just entered the house. When she came to the door, she saw her granddaughter carrying the jade pendant and laughing loudly. An idea flashed in her mind and she understood it at that time.
"Fu Niu'er, you stupid girl! Do you know? You know that noble man..."
Mrs. Li stepped forward and hugged her granddaughter. She was a little scared because she was afraid that her granddaughter would snatch the jade pendant. She was not angry, but couldn't help being proud. , the proud granddaughter is really smart, she discovered the identity of that noble man earlier than they all.
Jiayin didn't want to admit that she recognized the "golden thigh", so she shamelessly cheated on him with a jade pendant.
She smiled and hugged her grandma's neck, trying her best to be cute and good, "Miscellaneous, Fu Niu is thirsty, Fu Niu wants to drink water!"
The old lady lowered her head and nudged her with her forehead, but still got up to pour the water.
Jiayin obediently took a bowl of water and drank water. Mr. Ye motioned to Dongmei to guard the door and then said.
"Has Aunt guessed the identity of the guest just now?"
Mrs. Li waved her hand, "It wasn't me, it was the village chief who heard the noise and came over to take a look and recognized the noble man."
Mr. Ye nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, Aunt, I Although this cousin has a noble status, he has had many twists and turns since childhood. I am the only relative of his mother's family. Over the years, I have been trying my best to assist him, so he treats me very kindly.
"Now I am recovering here, Even if his family neglected him, he would not be angry. What's more, he had just eaten a big bowl of chicken noodle soup, which was obviously happy. "
That's true," the old lady couldn't help but laugh, "He also said that Hongying's cooking is better than that of the imperial chef!"
Mr. Ye lay on Xuan Ruan's pillow and said again, "Don't worry about the jade pendant in Fu Niu's hand. It's just an ordinary jade pendant without a carved dragon, so it doesn't count as a token. " Besides, I have something to discuss with my aunt.
"What's the matter? Tell me. " "Old Mrs. Li easily pulled the thin quilt to cover him, carefully avoiding the injury on her back.
Mr. Ye held Fu Niu's chubby little feet and said, "Auntie, I was seriously ill before and accidentally came to your house. I died, but it was Fu Niu who saved me. At that time, I knew there was something magical about this child, and I helped her cover it up several times afterwards..."
Mrs. Li immediately remembered the silver coins her granddaughter had taken out a few days ago, "Did she ask you for money?
"No, it's Fu Niu who has some good stuff. It's not convenient for us to sell it at home, so I entrusted Dongmei to sell it and got a lot of money. " "When Mr. Ye said this, he saw Jiayin blinking crazily at him.
She wished that her whole little body followed suit and almost plunged into the tea bowl in front of her.
Mr. Ye couldn't help laughing and said, "Sell specifically. How much, I can't say, but don't worry, aunt, Fu Niu is smart and won't cause trouble for the family. "
Old Mrs. Li picked up her granddaughter. She wanted to hit her but was reluctant, so she could only slap her little buttocks.
Jiayin twisted her little body, like a silkworm baby, and pushed it back and forth in grandma's arms. In the end, she coaxed the old lady. With a smile on her face, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
The old lady tied her granddaughter's pigtails again and couldn't help but sigh again.
"Mr. Ye, you also know that our family is just an ordinary farmer with no ability. To tell you the truth, I can't wait to think about it when I go to bed. It's a blessing and a misfortune. I'm afraid that something might happen to this child. Even if she loses a hair, our whole family will be in so much pain that we can't live. If the young master has been thinking about our friendship for so long, he will definitely help us protect Fu Niu more in the future. "
Auntie, this is what it should be. Counting this time, Fu Niu has saved me twice." No matter what, I have to protect her. Your Excellency came here just now, and I mentioned that I would accept Fu Niu as my adopted daughter. What do you think?
Seeing the old lady's expression change, Mr. Ye quickly said, "Auntie, don't worry too much. My status is both noble and dangerous, and no one can guarantee that it will remain the same for the rest of my life. After all, being with you is like a companion..." He
didn't. The last word was spoken, but the old lady understood it clearly.
She didn't understand how the situation in the court changed, but she had also heard in the play that the most ruthless emperor's family was the most ruthless.
She was worried and quickly advised, "Mr. Ye, don't In this way, you are still young. In a few years, you will find an opportunity to resign and come back and live a peaceful life in the village. Mr.
Ye shook his head, with an inexplicable light in his eyes, "Auntie, I don't plan to marry and have children for the time being, at least not until I regain half of the rivers and mountains in the north of the Yangtze River." Therefore, I accept Fu Niu as my adopted daughter. As long as I live, I can protect her.
"If I am unlucky and die in battle, that noble man will feel guilty about me and put all his blessings on Fu Niu. With this, even if Fu Niu... is a little different, No one would dare to talk about this or harm her."
Mrs. Li's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she waved her hands repeatedly, "Mr. Ye, you can't do this. Fu Niu'er is still protected by us, so you have to be good. Nothing can happen."
