The Cute Peasant Wife: Mian Niang - C287 This is an honest child
Mian Niang was startled, her hand was pierced by the wooden spike on the carriage door, causing him to frown, but before Jiang Ting could do anything, the fingernail sized wooden thorn was pulled out by Mian Niang, his finger was bleeding, which Mian Niang did not mind. She took out the kernels and wiped it, then went to lead the donkey.
Jiang Ting was still standing at the same spot, the hand he raised up had not been released yet. Mian Niang then carefully put down the carriage shaft, and pulled the donkey into the donkey shed. The injury on his leg before was probably still not healed yet, and he was still limping, but it was not as severe as it was in the past.
But in Jiang Ting’s heart, he suddenly felt a special uneasiness.
She thought about how His Majesty’s concubine had cried for half a day even when she accidentally broke a piece of her fingernail. It made the emperor’s heart ache and he stayed in her palace for seven days straight.
But Mian Niang, who had only been injured for a short while, had already started making tofu to sell tofu again, running everywhere.
He suddenly felt a twinge of pain in his heart. As for why it hurt, he could not say it.
They could only watch as Mian Niang tied the donkey and added more grass before turning to smile at him and say: “Thank you, cousin.”
Jiang Ting passed the cloth bag to her and watched her walk over to comfort Madame Li.
“Aunt, please don’t take offense. My aunt is like this. Every time she thinks about it, she cries.”
It’s not like I don’t know what’s going on, not to mention your mother, if it were me, I would also want to cry. If it was just like this, I wouldn’t be able to communicate with my own brothers anymore, let alone relying on others.
Mother, don’t be sad, just wait, wait for a while, I’ll take you to the Qi Province, we have an address anyways, I’m not afraid of not being able to find it, uncle and the others haven’t contacted each other in such a long time, maybe something has delayed us.
Mian Niang spoke from the bottom of her heart, and A Yunniang also chimed in from the side: “That’s right, when we’re free, let’s have Mian Niang take you there with him to take a look, alright?”
Madame Song Li shook her head. “Go and have a look. These words are all very light. It’s a long way up the mountain, and my leg is not convenient. How can it be passed so easily?”
“What you said isn’t right. Look at your cousin. Even across the mountain and across the water, you’ve still come.” How did the old saying go? There was nothing difficult in this world, and he was only afraid of people who wanted to help. Don’t think that you can’t give us hope either! ”
Madame Song shook her head and said: “He is just a young man. He is very nimble. Wherever he wants to go, he will leave on a horse. How can I compare with him?”
Madame Song Li’s heart was filled with bitterness, but it wasn’t good to tell others.
The last time she went, her legs were still fine. Although her family life wasn’t that luxurious, it was still passable.
She knew that her sister-in-law was no pushover. Her eyes were only looking up, afraid that her family would be dragged into it. If they had the heart, how could they have broken the connection?
She had been too preoccupied with this matter to begin with. The letters she had sent over the past few years had all sunk to the bottom of the sea, so she felt that there was no point in continuing like this.
In truth, up till now, she had completely stopped thinking about it, but today, it was because of Jiang Ting’s lie that she said it, if not, she would have placed this matter in her heart and let it rot.
It was just that there was no need to be sad about what had happened so many years ago.
A Yunniang had really put it to heart and continued to advise her. Madame Song suddenly felt guilty.
This kind of deceitful feeling really wasn’t very pleasant.
Fortunately, when A Yunniang saw her thin clothes, he found an excuse to enter the house and told her to return as well.
As the two of them had been neighbors for so many years, their care and concern for each other was not fake. It turned out that because of Mian Niang’s incident, the two of them had become half-red, but now, Madame Song had let it go, and treated Mian Niang well, A Yunniang no longer bothered, and the two of them resumed their previous relationship.
Xu Yi took out a melon seed from his bag and handed it over to A Yunniang.
A Yunniang only grabbed a handful and pushed the rest back, “I’ll just have to try it. Who gave it to you? ”
Mian Niang glanced at Madame Song, pursed her lips, and said: “Second Aunt of Mei Family gave it to me, saying that it was specially made last night, I cannot push it away.”
“What’s there to push? He’s kind, but you have to push him back to make me feel bad.”
A Yunniang intentionally spoke up for Mian Niang, but when he said those words, he was looking at Madame Song.
Madame Song smirked and said to Mian Niang, “That’s right, your wife is right. An Elementary Scholar is not a human, Second Uncle Mei is a good person, we cannot destroy his good intentions.”
“Isn’t that what you’re talking about, Mian Niang? Look, this Your Mother is still the wisest.”
Madame Song Li glanced at her unhappily: “Don’t be like this. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. “You can just say that I’m being unreasonable.”
Sigh, you said it yourself, it was not me who said it, Mian Niang, First Nephew, you heard it, too, I did not say it. A Yunniang was still holding onto a handful of melon seeds, and his finger swept past Mian Niang and landed on Jiang Ting who was behind the two of them.
Suddenly, he was called out, but Jiang Ting did not react. It was only when Mian Niang looked up to her did he realize that the “big nephew” she was referring to was him.
He didn’t know what to say, so he could only nod expressionlessly. He looked somewhat clumsy.
“Ai, an honest man, I wonder if it’s possible for him to follow a merchant into a business.” A Yunniang saw that he was extremely worried.
Mian Niang turned her head to look at Jiang Ting, holding back her laughter in an extremely unkind manner. )))
Jiang Ting was embarrassed from her laugh and turned his head away.
A Yunniang saw through it and thought that if he was able to find a sore spot, he would immediately apologize and return to the hut. But before that, he turned to Jiang Ting and said: “That child, it is not a bad thing to have a few extra eyes out there, don’t be fooled by others right?”
“Yes.”
Jiang Ting replied woodenly.
Mian Niang leaned on the wall to hide her smile.
Mrs. Song Li was the closest to her, and could hear her laughing so hard that she was gasping for breath. She hurriedly patted her and apologized to Jiang Ting in a low voice: “Don’t mind me, kid, A Yunniang did have good intentions.
“I know.” Jiang Ting was even more embarrassed, and peeked a glance at Mian Niang. Seeing her smile so happily, which rarely happened, he felt that it was nothing much, and just like he said, his distress in exchange for Mian Niang’s smile was also pretty good.
However, if he could, he hoped that it was due to some other reason that Mian Niang was smiling so happily, and not because she was embarrassed.
Mian Niang peeked at him from the crook of her arm, but didn’t expect to meet his gaze at this moment.
He immediately stopped smiling and apologized, “I didn’t mean to laugh at you.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Jiang Ting looked at him, his eyes indulging and spoiling him.
But Mian Niang did not understand, she stood up straight and left the wall, carrying a cloth bag on her back, she walked over and asked: “Did you come over quickly again?”
Jiang Ting nodded, seeing that no one was following them, he rushed over in the middle of the night.
He rarely had times when he could not calm down, and even when he was facing his enemies, he could remain calm and composed. However, this feeling was not bad, as he wanted to see Mian Niang, before he could even leave the palace, such a thought arose in her mind. It was strange that he did not lose control of his emotions, but thinking that she could see Mian Niang again, her heart jumped with joy, and was faintly excited.
“Must be very tired?”
Mian Niang put down the cloth bag in her hands, walked out and brought the horses in.
They tied it outside the donkey shed and went to fetch water for the horses.
Madame Song Li turned her head, and saw what Mian Niang had done, and her expression froze. Jiang Ting had already been at home for less than an hour, and she did not even think about having her horses brought in.
Madame Song Li felt slightly apologetic in her heart.
She felt that she was too careless and apologized to Jiang Ting immediately.
Jiang Ting muttered: “I’ve also never thought about it.”
He wanted to wait for Mian Niang to return and then leave after he finished speaking. Although he had invented the identity of a distant cousin to make things easier for him, he really did not have any plans to stay.
At that moment, Madame Song Li suddenly felt that she had overdone it. Jiang Ting had helped them out greatly, having only drunk two bowls of hot water.
She had rushed here dusty and exhausted, yet she did not even think of letting her horse eat grass or drink water.
Not to mention the hospitality.
She immediately gestured for Jiang Ting to enter the house.
“Let her do it. You can go in and warm up.”
Jiang Ting had already walked over and took the water bucket from Mian Niang.
“Allow me.”
The fingers of the two accidentally touched, causing the words of rejection to be swallowed back just like that. Mian Niang hurriedly retracted her hand as if she had been scalded.
When he looked up, Jiang Ting was already standing in front of the horse with the water bucket.
Madame Song Li could not see the movement between the two, and only felt that the atmosphere between the two seemed somewhat strange.
Then he thought about it. Originally, he had only met a few people, but now that they had suddenly become distant cousins, it was natural that they would feel uncomfortable with each other.
This horse was like a man, it had not been able to rest well for several days and nights, and now that it had drunk water, it did not stop.
Jiang Ting had no choice but to control its speed of drinking to prevent it from getting sick from getting injured.
He was taciturn, but methodical and a responsible man.
Madame Song Li looked at him and could not help but think of the Mehanlin.
He suddenly felt unlucky.
Standing at the door, waiting for the horse to finish drinking the water, Jiang Ting followed Mian Niang in.
The temperature in the room was as different as the sky and the earth.
Mian Niang took off her hat and reached her hands under the blanket on the brick bed.
His face flushed red from the heat, and he looked better.
She turned around and saw that Jiang Ting was still standing in front of the window. She quickly said, “Sit on the brick bed, it’s warm over here.”
