Chapter 681 Unconvinced
The eldest daughter-in-law was wronged and was hiding in the west room angrily packing her things. When she heard someone's footsteps coming this way, she quickly picked up two packed bags and hurried out of the house.
At the door, I almost bumped into raw land.
She blushed, lowered her head quickly, and said, "I have tidied up the house. Don't worry."
"Thank you."
Seeing that the other party is a young daughter-in-law, it’s hard to tell her where she was born.
After thanking him, he entered the house.
As soon as the eldest daughter-in-law turned around, she saw a face that was dazzling, unparalleled in elegance, stunning to a country, and capable of sucking away people's souls.
Her eyes immediately straightened.
God, where did this man come from? He's so... so beautiful, isn't he?
She is so beautiful. That face, eyebrows, and nose are all masterpieces of God. How can this man be so good-looking?
Oh my god, is this still a human being?
Couldn't he be a god from somewhere?
"Boss, wife, what are you doing here? Why don't you go to the kitchen and help your mother cook together."
The village chief was talking to Chu Jingqi about things in the village when he heard a gasp. When he turned around, he saw his eldest daughter-in-law, staring at the noble man with obsessed eyes.
As if he had caught his daughter-in-law Hongxing cheating on her, the village chief's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and his voice became sinister.
The eldest daughter-in-law was awakened instantly by her father-in-law's drink.
Her old face suddenly changed as if it had been boiled in a boiling water pot. It was red, full of embarrassment and shame. She said "yes" and ran out in a hurry.
The village chief turned around and said apologetically, "Sir, madam, please don't be offended. This country woman is not polite, and she has never seen such noble people as the young master and madam. Please forgive me for pointing out if you are not polite." .”
"I don't know why I'm wrong." Chu Jingqi said.
He said it was nothing, but his expression was a bit colder than before, as if he was unwilling to deal with the village chief. Chu Jingqi stood up, took Xia Zihan's hand, and walked to the east room.
"Since the food won't be ready for a while, my wife and I will go back to our room to rest for a while. The village chief, please."
"Yes yes yes."
The village chief nodded and bowed, staring at their backs.
It wasn't until the door to the east room was closed that the village chief straightened up and looked away, his brows looking a little gloomy.
Chu Fei cleaned the east room again, making it spotless. He took the Dahongpao they brought, made a pot of fragrant hot tea, and took out a package of roasted dry pork. After putting it on the plate, he resigned.
The roasted dried pork was given by Zheng Wenting to Xia Zihan and Chu Jingqi. It was a half-sized piglet. He roasted dozens of kilograms of barbecue, and gave twenty kilograms to Li Sangwu and twenty kilograms to Chu Jingqi. He kept it for himself. weighed more than twenty kilograms.
Just because he roasted so much meat and burned all the firewood in the ruined temple, they now had no firewood and had to come to the village to stay overnight.
Of course, Li Sangwu and Chu Jingwen didn't blame him. After all, each of them got twenty kilograms of barbecue.
"Ayu, are you hungry? If you are hungry, eat something first." Chu Jingqi took out a clean handkerchief, wrapped his hands, took the largest piece of barbecue, and handed it to Xia Zihan.
Xia Zihan didn't want to eat it at first, but seeing the distress in Chu Jingqi's eyes, she unconsciously reached out her hand and took it with the handkerchief and the barbecue.
I took a bite and the barbecue tasted good. The piglet's meat is not fat but lean, fragrant but not greasy. Just put some salt, and Xia Zihan tasted the delicious food in the world.
She said, "Aqi, you eat too, don't just watch me eat alone."
He took a clean handkerchief from his purse and threw it to him.
Chu Jingqi was indeed hungry. She wrapped a small piece with a handkerchief and put it in her mouth to chew. One piece for you and one for me. After eating a plate of barbecue, Xia Zihan was already half full, and Chu Jingqi was actually also I only ate three pieces, not even a corner of my belly was filled.
Xia Zihan called Chu Fei in and ordered her and Shengdi to carry hot water and fetch the bathtub from the carriage.
In the east room, separated by a gauze curtain, you can enjoy a hot bath comfortably.
Outside, Zheng Wenting, his two boys, and a steward walked into the village chief's house.
It turned out that there were not enough places to live in the village, and all the places that could be borrowed were taken by a hundred escorts, and there was really no room left.
This village is not considered rich, and not every household has a side room and a utility room. There are many families with only two main rooms, no side rooms, and at most a utility room.
But there are many children and elderly people in the family, and they usually sleep together in the same room. If we need to make room for this, we can only free up one room at most, and there is no extra room.
In some families, a few brothers, sisters and parents only have two houses, and there is no room for them to lend to others.
Zheng Wenting and his young man borrowed a house to live in at the beginning and gave him ten taels of silver. They were also happy to give him two rooms, both of which were the main house. The villagers were crowded with their own family. Live in a wing room.
That family was also the only one in the village besides the village chief's house that had a private room. However, seeing that there were more than a dozen escorts with nowhere to arrange the private room, Zheng Wenting was still thinking about Xia Zihan, so he decided to Give up the place and find yourself at the village chief's home.
Before, his servant had mentioned that the village chief's house had a lot of houses. If three and two rooms were vacated and Chu Jingqi's carriage was added, Chu Jingqi's people would not be able to live in so many houses.
No, Zheng Wenting came to find him.
Xia Zihan was taking a bath and didn't know he was coming. When Chu Jingqi knew he was here to stay overnight, she pointed to the two wing rooms and said, "I'll give you those two rooms."
"Why should my young master live in the wing room? There are two main rooms there, and my young master lives in one."
Before Zheng Wenting opened his mouth, his servant refused to comply.
In the eyes of the young man, Zheng Wenting is his heaven, his earth, his food, clothing, parents, and everything he has.
Chu Jingqi has a noble status, but she doesn't trample on others like this.
The principal would rather live with his servants than live with his young master.
Why?
Is it because Prince Chu is a distinguished figure in the capital, but the young head of his family is not?
However, we are outside now, not in the capital.
When it comes to status, the young head of his family is equally dignified.
"Shut up." Zheng Wenting glared at the servant, then turned around and apologized to Chu Jingqi with an apologetic expression, "Sorry, it was my lax discipline that caused a slave to talk too much. I will definitely discipline him more when I go back. ”
"As long as you don't just talk about it." Chu Jingqi snorted coldly and glanced at the boy coldly.
