Official boots are much taller than ordinary boots, and the edges are wrapped in cowhide to cope with such sudden changes in weather.

Yuan Bao'er smiled and took the soft shoes she had prepared earlier, and put the boots that were still covered with muddy water by the door.

"It's ventilated here, and we'll probably be able to do it tomorrow morning."

She explains.

Gong Qing undoubtedly rubbed his hair.

He came all the way, and was beaten by the wind and rain, not only his boots, but also his whole body was soaked by the rain.

Boots don't look like clothes, just take a break.

If it can be dried, he still prefers to wear it smoothly.

Yuan Bao'er noticed his half-wet clothes and went to find his mother-in-law, asking her to find the housekeeper and take two comfortable underwear and send them over.

After making sure that the mother-in-law could handle it, Yuan Baoer went back to the house.

Closing the door, she let out a long sigh.

Only then did she realize that the single clothes on her back had already been soaked through cold sweat.

The soil on the official road is yellow, but the fields are dark and black soil, which is very fertile.

The mud stained by Gong Qingguan's boots was black at the innermost, with a thin layer of loess and a little dust from the house.

In other words, he had been in the grange before, and had even entered the farmland.

Although Gong Qing behaved very approachable, Yuan Baoer could see that he was actually very arrogant.

Disdain to associate with people below his rank, but also disdain to embarrass them.

How could such a person, if he had no purpose, deal with those peasant households?

Those peasant households, to put it nicely, are simple, and they say it almost badly, that is, there is no one to talk about it, as long as there is benefit, there is nothing they don't say.

Although she went to Zhoujia Village at that time to disguise, she was also very clumsy, and if she really wanted to be targeted by someone with a heart, she would definitely not be able to escape.

So after noticing that Gong Qing had been to the farmland, her whole body tensed.

God knows how hard it took her to get things done with her usual face.

She sat down slowly, kicked her shoes, and lay down, feeling her heart beat a little faster.

The night passed quickly, and Yuan Bao'er opened her eyes with the light of day.

Putting on her coat, she hurried to prepare her laundry.

Gong Changyi finished washing and hurriedly went out with Gong Qing.

Before noon, Yuan Bao'er saw Steward Zhou.

It was said that there were distinguished guests in the house, and the Han family was dispatched, and there would be a banquet in the evening, and there were not enough people, so they borrowed people from the courtyard.

Yuan Bao'er smiled and nodded, for fear that it would not be enough, so she only left one person to accompany her to guard the door, and handed over the rest to Steward Zhou.

Steward Zhou likes to go to the road like this, thinking that people will give him face, so he thinks of repaying one or two.

In the evening, he specially asked Si'er to bring Yuan Bao'er a few hard dishes for the banquet.

"Thank you so much," Yuan Bao'er opened the food box, and the strong fragrance came to her nose.

"Tell me this, take it, eat it openly, it's not enough for me to get it for you," Si'er swallowed as he said proudly.

Yuan Bao'er smiled and walked at him, "You haven't eaten yet, there are only two people in this courtyard, so it's better for you to stay together." ”

"This, it's not good," Si'er was a little moved, but he was afraid that this thing was for Yuan Bao'er, and he couldn't erase it for a while.

"What's this, we're not brothers?"

Yuan Bao'er smiled and moved a few things out to send them to the left-behind mother-in-law, and took Si'er to the pantry.

Although Si'er is the nephew of the housekeeper, he is just a name, and he can usually get some convenience, so it is the first time to eat these hard vegetables in such a grand manner.

He pinched his chopsticks and looked at the dishes that looked like flowers, not knowing how to put them down.

Instead, Yuan Baoer clamped her chopsticks on the heart of the flower, and cut the flower at the waist without pity.

"Eat," she put another chopstick in her mouth and her cheeks bulging.

Si'er looked at the oil hanging on the corner of her mouth, like a greedy mouse, one by one, and suddenly happy.

The awe and cowardice that had just now suddenly dissipated.

"If this is a few times more round, it will be really happy like a fairy."

Si'er was very emotional.

Yuan Bao'er was happy, "It will not be done today, wait for another day, when our master is taken care of, I will invite you to drink and have a good drink." ”

"Don't, I'll invite you," Si'er smiled and squeezed his eyes, "The one you said is only for the past day or two." ”

"How?"

Yuan Baoer pretended to be surprised.

Si'er smiled, "You don't know yet, the pearl lady has already promised your family." ”

"If you can't keep it, your family will be a little Dengke tonight."

Yuan Bao'er sighed and got up hurriedly, "The main house hasn't been done at all, adults are on this happy occasion, how can we be so lazy?" ”

Si'er saw that she was really anxious, sighed, and pulled her to sit down, "This matter is just what the old man said in private, your brother and I have a bright news, let's talk to you first." ”

"If you arrange it well, wouldn't it be embarrassing if it wasn't today, and your lord would come back?"

Yuan Bao'er made a sudden appearance, smiled and motioned him to use more, and then said with a smile: "Speaking of pearls, I heard that there were several ladies in your house before, all of whom promised good families, but they were all in charge?" ”

Si'er shook his head, "That's just a rumor, those ladies have never come back since they came out, and they used to spread the word, but they haven't had it in the past two years." ”

Yuan Bao'er raised her eyebrows slightly, "How can this be?" ”

"Mrs. Zhou is raising them, isn't it chilling?"

Si'er pulled the corners of his mouth, shook his head and said, "What kind of upbringing, but raising a thing." ”

Si'er can still get some insider information because of the housekeeper's relationship.

He motioned for Yuan Bao'er to come closer, lowered his voice a little more, and said: "Those grandmothers are not serious things, they are just adults, and they are also pressed by the housewife and rules. The woman is just a few years of scenery, and it will be over after that. ”

After speaking, he looked at Yuan Bao'er meaningfully.

Yuan Bao'er was silent for a moment, and then remembered the letter that Gong Changyi asked her to send.

It seems that they are not monolithic internally.

She had a plan in her heart, and chatted with Si'er more and more affectionately.

Si'er didn't dare to delay here for too long, so he hurriedly left after a round belly.

Yuan Bao'er went to her mother-in-law, asked her to prepare some sobering soup, and went to wait under the porch.

In the middle of the moon, Gong Changyi staggered back, followed by a graceful and enchanting pearl on his side.

Yuan Bao'er hurriedly brought the sobering soup, and sent it to the door while Gong Changyi was still awake.

Pearl's cheeks were slightly dizzy, and there was a faint smell of wine on her body, and she obviously didn't drink less.

She took the teacup, smiled politely, and turned in.

Yuan Baoer didn't have the habit of listening to the corner, and hurried back to her house.

After the night, Yuan Bao'er was already up.

The mother-in-law prepared the toiletries and waited for Yuan Bao'er to come out.

Yuan Bao'er stood by the door and waited quietly for almost a quarter of an hour before there was movement inside.

"My lord, do you want to wash?"

Yuan Bao'er knocked lightly on the door and said in a deep voice.
