The Cute Peasant Wife: Mian Niang - C289 Hot roasted sweet potato
Mian Niang was indeed worried, and it was not easy for Mother to calm down. She was worried that if she were to tell Madame Song and Li about the matters of the Mei Family, her mother would definitely be worried, and would even find it hard to sleep and eat.
This matter was the thorn that Madame Song Li had buried in her heart. She had hidden it there, and when she thought of it occasionally, she would feel uncomfortable.
However, if he were to tell her that he wanted her to hang on his heart every day, that would be the true torment.
“For the time being, only the two of us know about this. We can tell her about it later, but if we tell her about it, she’ll think about it everyday if she has nothing else to do.”
Mrs. Song and Li did not leave the house. Every day, they would sit on the brick bed and think about these things over and over again.
Mian Niang knew her own mother’s personality. If it was something that Lady Song Li did not want to talk about, even if he had to pry open her mouth, he should not think about it. However, he had to be careful with this matter.
After being awakened by Mian Niang’s question, Jiang Ting woke up from the bottom of his heart. He finally realised that his action of eagerly coming over to talk to Mian Niang about this matter was far from being steady and completely inconsistent with his usual personality.
The only reason why he was safe and sound and had yet to reveal his identity was because he had to be careful and keep it a secret.
This was the hidden guard’s personal ability, but now, he almost lost it.
He looked at Mian Niang and reflected that she was indeed being too impetuous this time.
Mian Niang pulled out the pumpkin s inside. The little pumpkin s that she hopped on were probably not cooked well in a short period of time.
As he was about to peel off the dirt, he suddenly thought of something and handed it over to Jiang Ting. “Eat this first, I’ll go eat some noodles later, whether it’s dumplings or pancakes, noodles are also fine. We’ll also eat the dumplings and get off the car.
Jiang Ting was stunned upon hearing this, only returning to his senses after the pumpkin had become hot in his hands, he shook his head: “You don’t need to be busy, I will be leaving in a while.”
“A relative from far away came specially to visit, but could not even eat a warm meal while reading. This does not make sense anywhere. Furthermore, with your ability, you won’t be able to leave for too long. Even if you leave a bit later, your problem will definitely be resolved. ”
Mian Niang thought of this man’s nimble methods and felt a sense of infatuation.
Jiang Ting nodded, he did not reject anymore.
He knew that he wanted to stay for the meal.
The pumpkin peeled off the skin, revealing the golden colored pumpkin meat inside. It was sweet and soft.
It was indeed comfortable.
As he ate, he told Mian Niang about the Mei Family.
This time, he did not hide anything, and also said it, revealing his grudge with Prince Rong’s Mansion, Mei Family was just his pawn.
He had only done so because he wanted revenge. It was just an easy task to scheme against the Mei Family.
He was not greedy because he secretly rejected Mian Niang’s idea of him as a benefactor.
He liked the relationship between Mian Niang and him more. It was equal and natural, not one that only held gratitude. He was even worried that Mian Niang herself would blur these two feelings.
Mian Niang, however, saw through it with a single glance. “I’m not stupid, I don’t know what you did back then, but after Mei Family brought her family and left, I did let out a breath of relief.”
It was not that Mian Niang did not see through the shamelessness of the Mei Family, as long as that family was still in the Tongzhou, Mian Niang could guess, even if she chose that family, they would definitely not let this matter go easily. If she found out that those things were spread by herself, the Mei Family would definitely not let this matter rest.
Mian Niang was helpless towards this.
She was just a peasant girl, what she could do was limited. If not for Jiang Ting, her family might not even be able to wait until Ah Gou returned.
“My selfishness is heavy.”
Jiang Ting did not say anything about Zheng Tong’s follow-up, but Mian Niang could roughly guess that when Jiang Ting killed people in front of her, he did not even blink.
“Then I still have to thank you.”
Mian Niang looked at him and said: “Regarding this, no matter what the consequences are, as long as it’s something that’s useful to me, you just need to open your mouth and don’t have any concerns.”
“No need.” Jiang Ting had his own plans, and he couldn’t implicate her in this matter no matter what.
He could only hope that she would be able to live her life in peace and wait for his return after a bloody storm.
Just like now, roast two pumpkin for him. The house was burning hot, so he could just sit on the brick bed with her and chat.
This was the first time he thought about the future, and he longed for this kind of idyllic life in his heart.
The sun rose and set. It was plain and light, but it was very real.
Mian Niang took the bowl and started to mix it.
As Jiang Ting ate the pumpkin, his gaze was still fixated on her body.
Mian Niang felt something, and when she looked over, he immediately looked elsewhere.
Mian Niang secretly laughed that she had overthought things.
After Jiang Ting finished the pumpkin, he was chased out by Mian Niang.
He was in the kitchen, and she was uncomfortable.
Jiang Ting was a little disappointed in his heart, but he knew that there was a difference between males and females. The two of them had been alone in the kitchen for a long time, let alone what others would say, even Lady Song Li would think about it.
He had personally witnessed the attitude of Madame Song Li towards Mian Niang back then, and he knew that this window paper could not be punctured. Not only could it not be punctured, it had to be smeared thick enough to not be seen by anyone.
His heart ached for Mian Niang, but he couldn’t say anything sweet to her, so he could only follow her heart.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Madame Song Li about to step down and put on her shoes. “I was just about to say, the kitchen is very cold, it’s better if you come in and stay here.”
“Mian Niang burned the pumpkin. I only came over after eating.”
Madame Song Li heaved a sigh of relief, and a relaxed expression appeared on her face: “Mian Niang is still the most thoughtful one. Since you’re in such a hurry, you must be hungry. Now, let Mian Niang cook. ”
Seeing Jiang Ting not saying a word, she thought Jiang Ting did not want to stay, so she quickly explained: “Don’t think too much into it, coming all the way here, if you don’t even eat a meal, that would make people suspicious.”
This was exactly the same as what Mian Niang said.
Jiang Ting nodded.
Once that prejudice was removed, there would only be gratitude left in her heart for Jiang Ting’s actions. It was just like what Mian Niang had said, back then when Wu Niang had left, he was indeed brought away by Jiang Ting, but she was only a subordinate and she had no choice but to do him a favor.
Compared to those heartless people, Jiang Ting was simply a good person.
“Let Mian Niang make noodles for you. There’s talk about all of this when you get on the carriage and you get out of the carriage.”
“She’s already doing it.”
“This child is really making me more and more at ease. He’s able to think of all sorts of things before me.”
Madame Song Li said.
Jiang Ting’s heart was also filled with anticipation.
The two of them did not talk much, and very quickly, Jiang Ting stopped sitting on the brick bed, and sat in front of the table.
Seeing that Song Zhien’s book was left there, he casually flipped through it.
“Sanlang, it seems that you’ve read a lot of books.”
“I’ve read some.”
When he was young, his father had taught him majestically.
Since he was two years old, he had already learned the Three Character Classic.
Later, when he entered the Dark Guard camp, he was forced to read as many books as he could every day, and even to check his studies regularly.
A child of eight or nine years old, his studies were extremely tiring, and he had to take into account his lessons every day.
He didn’t want the sole seedling that his teacher’s family had saved to lose the very foundation of the Shuxiong Sect.
It was precisely because of this that the teachers of the dark guard camp focused on training him.
Jiang Ting could not help but smile as he thought about the mistress who had declared that they were friends.
He also didn’t know how he would cover up the matter of the pickled bamboo shoots in the imperial kitchens, so he would definitely interrogate him once he got back.
As he was lost in thought, he felt a breeze blowing overhead.
He raised his eyes and saw that a piece of the roof was missing. It seemed like the reeds had been bitten by a rat.
He turned to look at Madame Song, and Madame Song instantly understood what was going on.
It’s got tile on it, but it was stepped on by a cat two days ago. The tile shifted and hyposome wanted to go up to get it, so I didn’t give it up. This, Mian Niang had said this morning, once her legs were fully healed, she would go and get it. ”
“I’ll go.”
Jiang Ting put down the book.
“No need, no need. I’ll call someone to help me with it later. This is rough work, so I don’t need you.”
“I can do it.”
Jiang Ting said as he walked out. Madame Song could not stop him, and could only follow after him.
Just as he was about to go and get fresh cucumbers to beat the brine, he saw Jiang Ting coming out from the house. He was curious in his heart and walked over, standing at the door to watch Jiang Ting raise his breath, and immediately stopped him and asked: “What are you doing?”
Seeing her so shocked, Jiang Ting turned his head to look at her. At the same time, he also saw Lady Song, who was standing at the door staring at him in shock, only then did he remember that this was Mian Niang’s home. In broad daylight, if he went up to the roof like this, most of the people in the village would come to watch.
He quickly put down his hands and feet and said, “I’ll go upstairs and fix the house.”
Mian Niang’s hands still had the smell of salted vegetables, and she laughed: “No need, I’ll look for someone to fix it later on, have you ever done this before?”
“There has to be a first time.”
Jiang Ting climbed up the wall easily and effortlessly.
He walked along the ridge of the house as steadily and quickly as if it were flat ground, and soon found the tiles that had been kicked off.
A Yunniang, who was standing in the yard, happened to come out to pour some water. Seeing this scene, he exclaimed: “This child is very nimble, he went up just like that?”
She walked over to the wall and looked at Madame Song Li in the courtyard. She said with a smile, “Sister-in-law, your distant nephew can’t have practiced kung fu, right?”
