330 White Lotus
"That...... The prince woke up. I'm going to make breakfast. ”
Song Erniu put the bedding on the bed and turned around and went to the kitchen.
In winter, it is cold, and it is too cold to wash with cold water, so Song Erniu stuffed the firewood in the stove at night, and when she washed in the morning, the water was still hot.
"Has the prince washed up?"
Song Erniu began to cook porridge after washing casually, there is nothing to eat here, porridge for breakfast, just now the village chief's daughter-in-law gave a piece of pickles, cut into shreds and accompanied by eating sour and sour, very delicious.
"I've worked hard for you for half a month, in order to apologize, this king can promise you a condition, you can think slowly, when to think of it, when to tell this king."
"Actually...... No, you don't. ”
Song Erniu's willingness to help is not because she wants to get any benefits, but she just thinks that she should do it.
Now that the Ninth Prince took the initiative to give benefits, she was even more embarrassed to ask for it.
"Lord Wang, you hurry up and wash up, the meal will be ready soon."
After eating, several girls in the village asked Song Erniu to go to the mountains to pick winter bamboo shoots.
Song Erniu was puzzled, there were winter bamboo shoots in this season, and she wanted to stay at home left and right with nothing to do, so she followed them.
The older and more sensible is the eldest girl of the village chief's family called Orchid, and her temperament is very similar to the village chief's daughter-in-law, gentle and virtuous. If he had been a man, he would have married a woman like her.
The orchid is called a lotus flower with a plastic sister, and it is said that she was not called a lotus at first, but a small grass.
Because he was envious of the good name of the orchid, he begged his father and mother to give him the name.
It's a pity that no matter who lives someone, even if the name is changed, there is no way to change many things.
Lotus's father is a gambler, drunk like life, the family is poor and white, three years ago, the mother ran away with the singles in the village, leaving behind their two sisters and brothers. Farming for a living.
It is said that he came back as a drunkard father, and it seems that he has lost a lot of money, and Lotus is complaining to Orchid.
"Orchid, your life is really good, unlike me, you have worked so hard, but nothing can be changed."
Song Erniu walked aside, listening to the envious and unwilling words of the lotus flower and was silent.
Everyone has their own way of living, and as long as she doesn't interfere with her, she won't interfere.
It's a pity that she underestimated the jealousy of the lotus, and the lotus and the orchid cried to no avail.
"Miss Song, it is rumored in the village that you and Murong Gongzi escaped marriage and came here, but I don't like a local when I listen to your accent."
"Well, we're not locals. Just passing through. Will be leaving soon. ”
This matter is not a secret, and there is no need for Song Erniu to hide it.
When Lotus heard this, she was envious, "Looking at Miss Song's dress and temperament, she doesn't look like a girl from an ordinary family, I don't know what the girl's family does?" ”
"You guessed it wrong, I also grew up in the village."
This is a fact, and Song Erniu never felt that there was anything wrong with being born in the countryside.
The lotus and the orchid were surprised, no wonder they were surprised, since Song Erniu and they came, there have been many speculations in the village, and the most popular version is the young lady of the rich family and the son of the official family.
Unexpectedly, Song Erniu turned out to be a woman in the village. How did she know Murong Gongzi? As far as Murong Gongzi's temperament is concerned, it is not something that can be cultivated in ordinary small places.
Lotus originally thought that she and Murong Gongzi would have nothing, but now when she heard this, her heart seemed to suddenly come to life, and she was eager to try.
"Really? I really didn't see it. What about Murong Gongzi, where is she from? ”
"Lotus seems to be interested in our business?"
Song Erniu didn't answer the rhetorical question, Song Erniu is not stupid, there are some things she can say generously and without concealing it, but when it comes to the privacy of others, she has to pay attention to one or two.
Besides, the current situation of the Nine Princes is not good, if she says anything that should not be said, they will all have to worry about their lives.
Song Erniu deliberately threw the question back, firstly because she didn't want to answer her question positively, and secondly, to test the purpose of the lotus.
The lotus flower said very white lotus, "Miss Song, I ...... I'm just asking casually, if you don't want to say it, forget it. ”
"Yes." Song Erniu snorted, raised her steps and walked forward, there are indeed winter bamboo shoots in the deep mountains, but you have to look carefully. Song Erniu likes to eat dried bamboo shoots and fried meat, and she came to her senses after seeing it.
After a while, he dug a lot, and originally Orchid didn't quite believe Song Erniu's words, but when he saw this, he completely believed it.
"Did Miss Song dig wild vegetables in the mountains when she was in the village before?"
Orchid didn't want to find Song Erniu to go up the mountain together, but she always felt that she and they were not from the same world. There is no common topic, I didn't expect Song Erniu not only to dig wild vegetables, but also to find winter bamboo shoots than the locals. Rejoice.
"Well, my family is poor, and I live on wild vegetables in the mountains every year."
Song Erniu doesn't have the memory of the original owner, but she thinks that life in the village should be the same, and if you look at others, you can almost understand.
"It turns out that Miss Song and our days are about the same." Orchid smiled, "Then another day, when we are on the mountain, we will still look for you." ”
"Well, with you as a companion and someone to talk to."
Song Erniu obviously likes orchids. There is talk and laughter with orchids. Lotus is very popular in the village, but it is the first time that someone doesn't like her, and she feels a little depressed.
"Miss Song, what's your name, I see that we are not much older than each other, and I call Miss Song a child."
The lotus took the initiative to set it closely, and Song Erniu was depressed when she thought of the name of this turtle.
"A name is just a title, it's okay to shout anything."
Song Erniu didn't want to say it, but when Orchid saw this, she changed the topic, "It's almost the same today, let's go down the mountain, I'll cook later." ”
Song Erniu dug a lot of winter bamboo shoots, and there were only her and the prince at home, which was enough to eat for a few days.
The lotus flowers stand still. didn't speak, but kept staring at the empty bamboo basket, the expression was so obvious, both of them saw the meaning of the lotus.
The orchid is real, and he quickly handed a few winter bamboo shoots in the frame to the lotus.
Lotus was satisfied, turned her head to look at Song Erniu, but Song Erniu pretended not to see it, and walked down the mountain by herself.
"Rich people are stingy."
The lotus muttered a word, and caught up with it.
After going down the mountain, Song Erniu said goodbye to the two and returned to her residence.
When Lotus and Orchid went back, Lotus told her about the family's predicament again, and after Orchid hesitated, she asked Lotus to wait at the door, and Orchid ran to the house and stole some multigrain cakes for Lotus.
"There is no extra dry food at home, you and your brother will make do with it first, and when my mother makes a new one, I will give it to you."
The whole village, who didn't know that the village chief's family had the best days, and what he said about his best friend, fooled him with two coarse grain cakes.
The lotus flower was dissatisfied, and her face was still full of gratitude.
"Orchid, thank you, if you hadn't been helping me ......"
