Chapter 41: Confrontation
Wei Baofu is still a little unaccustomed to the straightforward care of strangers of the opposite sex, although he is a little uncomfortable in his heart, but there is no wave on his face, and he replied decently: "Thank you Lord Hou for your concern, my body is fine, and I will probably be cured after drinking the last medicine." ”
After all, the other party cares about her body, Wei Baofu is still grateful, and she will keep a little care from others in her heart, although she is not grateful, but when necessary, she will return it.
Rong Yanzong smiled lightly and nodded, although there was scrutiny in his eyes, it was not too much, Wei Baofu could feel it, and he only thought that he was normal and curious, and he was very well measured, but he didn't feel unbearable.
Xiao Zhan didn't feel the strange atmosphere at the moment, he said directly: "Let me take the pulse, it's not good, it doesn't matter what you two said, I'll know after the follow-up." ”
Shan Zhu silently mourned for Doctor Xiao in his heart, and sure enough, Rong Yanzong glanced at him with some displeasure, and the corners of his mouth showed a meaningful smile, Xiao Zhan didn't notice it at all, and walked to Wei Baofu's side by himself.
Wei Baofu liked his straightforward personality very much, and stretched out his wrist cooperatively, when Xiao Zhan put his hand on her pulse, Rong Yanzong only felt extremely dazzling, he had a strong possessiveness, although it was not to the point of being sick, but he also did not like others to touch the person or thing he liked.
So far, he has never been so concerned about any woman, the more he cares, the more cautious he becomes, Rong Yanzong is such a person, he pretended not to care and stood by and watched, and no one spoke for a while.
Waiting until Xiao Zhan withdrew his hand, he said in a relaxed tone: "You have nothing to do, drink the last medicine later, it will be regarded as a solid foundation Peiyuan, you were a little depressed before, but now the depression has spread a lot, just want to open it, there is nothing that cannot be passed, as long as you can live well, everything will survive." ”
Wei Baofu smiled and nodded, since she talked to Rulan, the knots in her heart have been untied, knowing that everything is her mother's own choice, knowing that she was buried with her father, knowing that her aunt helped her bear everything, although she felt sorry for her aunt, she was also relieved a lot.
Rong Yanzong said at the right time: "The county lord has something to worry about, if he needs help, he should do his best." Wei Baofu was stunned, and always felt that this person seemed to be a little extra enthusiastic, but he still said sincerely: "Thank you Master Hou, everything is fine at the moment, but there are some problems that I can't figure out before." ”
After all, this is the first time the two have met, and Wei Baofu can't talk to him like a friend, Yu Shun saw that his master was uncomfortable, and said at the right time: "Master, now that you can have lunch at this hour, what arrangements do you have?" ”
He glanced at Rong Yanzong meaningfully, Wei Baofu immediately understood, and said with a smile: "If Master Hou and Doctor Xiao don't dislike it, can you stay and eat, although I haven't cleaned up here, I can also entertain you, as long as you don't dislike the poor food." ”
Xiao Zhan slept for more than an hour in the morning, and had a late breakfast, he didn't feel hungry at all at the moment, and was about to open his mouth to refuse, Rong Yanzong took the lead in saying: "We are all people in the army, and in the march and battle, what kind of things have not been eaten, as long as we can be satisfied, thank you for the county lord's hospitality." ”
Xiao Zhan was so angry that he almost blew his beard and glared, but he wanted to go back to dispense medicine earlier, Shanzhu grabbed him at the right time, and stood on the side with a smiling face, although their movements were hidden, they were all looked at by Yu Shun.
He lowered his head, hid the deep thought in his eyes, and asked softly, "County Lord, the people in this kitchen still don't know your eating habits, but what do you have to order?" The master and servant have a very tacit understanding, and Yu Shun just meant to ask her if she wanted to serve the potatoes to eat.
Wei Baofu hesitated a little, this town Beihou can hold the power is by no means an ordinary person, if he tastes the taste of potatoes, I am afraid that he will have other thoughts, but if it is hidden, it is not necessary, after all, no one knows the yield of potatoes.
glanced at him thoughtfully, Rong Yanzong just caught it, he smiled kindly, Wei Baofu made a decision, and said with a smile: "Master Hou, I have someone here to send some fresh food, although it is not very precious, but it is a novel species, if you don't mind, you are willing to taste one or two." ”
Rong Yanzong also knew that although the county lord of Kangping grew up in the palace, he would not lack food and clothing, so he could say that it was novel, it was estimated that it was something that was really not eaten, and he said very cooperatively: "That's really good, my mouth is also very fond of food, as long as it is delicious, I am willing to taste it." ”
Wei Baofu has his own considerations, the Yongyi Marquis Mansion has been in a state of suppression, although Concubine Shu is talented, but she is besieged in the palace, many things can't be done, counting on the four princes to build their own team, it will also take time, if the Marquis of Zhenbei stands behind the four princes, such a fierce general, who is not impressed.
Although she has her own purpose, Wei Baofu will not say it clearly, that would be a really stupid person, she doesn't mind being better with her, after all, everything is negotiable with a friendship.
Both of them have their own thoughts, no one will say anything for a while, but they get along well, with Xiao Zhan accompanying the gag in the middle, but they don't feel that time passes slowly, and when Pearl takes the girls and mothers-in-law to bring the dishes to the table, even Xiao Zhan, who didn't feel hungry, also subconsciously swallowed saliva.
"County Lord, what is this thing called? I've been traveling all these years, and I've eaten a lot of strange food, but I've never seen this thing, but it tastes pretty good. ”
Although Wei Baofu is the master, but after all, she is a female dependent, and she did not eat at the same table with them, but separated by a screen, she sat in the inner room, although it was separated, but it did not delay speaking, Wei Baofu said with a smile: "The military doctor might as well taste it, this thing is from overseas." ”
Xiao Zhan's interest became even stronger, "Feelings, this is still something that has come across the ocean, and it really has to be tasted." He unceremoniously stuffed it directly into his mouth, chewed it twice, and nodded in satisfaction.
"This thing tastes good, and it's quite anti-hunger after eating." Xiao Zhan is also a layman, the first thing that comes to mind is the question of satiety, Rong Yanzong ate potatoes, and asked thoughtfully: "County Lord, do you have any extra there?" I think it would be great if it were to be brought into the army and used as food. ”
Sure enough, Rong Yanzong's reaction did not disappoint Wei Baofu, as the saying goes, you can catch big fish only if you put a long line, no, if you want to take advantage of others, first of all, you have to have your own capital, and if you don't have enough benefits, who will want to fight with you.
"Let Hou Ye disappoint, this potato is not much, you also know that it is not easy for the boat to arrive safely across the ocean, and the materials that can be brought are naturally limited, but I plan to try to plant some by myself, I want to see how the yield is, this matter is just an idea of mine, and I need Hou Ye to keep it a secret for me."
The light in Rong Yanzong's eyes flashed, he could be sure that this girl was smart, but he was not willing to follow her wishes, and always wanted to find some opportunities for himself, and said unceremoniously: "It's not difficult to keep secrets, even if you want me to help, it's just that I want to receive some benefits, I don't know if the county lord can agree." ”
Wei Baofu couldn't see his expression, but at this moment, he felt that this person was a little difficult, and he hesitated for a moment, but thinking of the power in his hands, thinking of the weakness of the four princes, and thinking of the sacrifice of his mother and aunt, she still gave in in the end.
Some reluctantly said, "Then what does the Hou Ye want?" The words are full of grievances, when it is time to show weakness, Wei Baofu will not hold on, men will always be more tolerant of soft-spoken women.
Without waiting for Rong Yanzong to speak, Xiao Zhan, who was very satisfied with his food, helped to speak: "You are a big man, you can't eat well, why bother embarrassing the little girl." These words seem to be the anger of Rong Yanzong's small family.
He was not angry, and said in a calm voice: "You don't understand, this is not bullying, it is obviously a win-win situation, if the county lord doesn't mind, I want to know the progress of this potato planting, you can write to me, and after the potatoes are ripe, give me the fruit first, of course, I will give you money to buy it, I don't know if it is feasible?" ”
Rong Yanzong didn't mean to let Wei Baofu suffer, he just wanted to increase the chances of contact between the two, even if they couldn't meet each other, it would be good to write a letter to each other, and over time, it would be good for the two to get acquainted.
Before Wei Baofu could speak, Linglong preemptively said to her: "The county lord must not, after all, you have been with the Queen Mother for a long time, not to mention how to send this letter, if it is known, how should your reputation be good, after all, the Marquis of Zhenbei is a man, he doesn't care, but what about you, you have neither a father to protect you, nor a brother Zhang Luo........."
What he said was so pitiful, Rong Yanzong was a little displeased when he heard it, he didn't know that this was someone else's maidservant, who disliked his reputation outside, but he also held it, and he was not in a hurry to speak, he wanted to hear Wei Baofu's meaning first.
Wei Baofu had a satisfied smile on his face, Linglong's words reached her heart, although she wanted to befriend him, Wei Baofu did not intend to sacrifice her reputation, after all, she promised her grandmother that she would find a suitable man to marry, if her reputation was not good, what choice could she have.
"Master Hou, although my maid is a little excessive, but it is not unreasonable, if you want to know the progress, you might as well send a girl to my house to ask, there is no need to write a letter, after all, if the letter falls into the hands of others, it is also evidence, if people know, it will inevitably gossip."
Rong Yanzong is not easy to dismiss, he insisted: "The county lord is too worried, we are just writing a letter to talk about business, and nothing else, besides, I have a way to make people unable to grasp the handle, although it is easy to send a girl, but there are no smart and clever girls around me, and they are not as good as the two around you." ”
