Early the next morning, someone stuffed a letter at the gate of the Chu Palace, Hao Pingguan glanced at it, and couldn't help laughing, yesterday it was five thousand taels, today it will be five hundred taels, will it become fifty taels tomorrow? The kidnapper's price has also dropped dramatically.

The letter was still presented to Murong Mian, and after he finished reading it, he spread the letter on the table, his fingers tapped on the five hundred taels or three words, and the corners of his lips were dyed with a smile. There will be no such stupid kidnappers in the world, who have worked hard to kidnap people, and 5,000 taels will become 500 taels.

Therefore, there are no kidnappers at all, this matter was done by Bai Qianfan herself, as for why did she do it? Maybe he really wanted a sum of money, or maybe it was to divert his attention, after all, he was still investigating Qingxiu's affairs, and she felt that it was difficult to get out, so she thought of this way.

"Lord, look at this matter......

Murong Mian crumpled the letter and threw it in the basket, "Don't pay attention to it." ”

Hao Pingguan breathed a sigh of relief, a few days ago he suspected that the prince was getting better with the princess, it turned out to be his delusion, the young lady of the Baixiang Mansion, the prince of Chu would not be contaminated.

The Niu brothers thought that they were going to receive the money this time anyway, so they waited at the bottom of the mountain early, and when they were scoundrels, they beat two wild pheasants, and they saw Bai Qianfan's meal last night, and they didn't add vegetables today, but they were afraid that it would not be enough for her to eat.

But when the sun turned west, I still didn't see the person who sent the money.

The dignified Prince of Chu won't be able to take out five hundred silver, right? The three brothers of the Niu family were furious, scolding and scolding and going up the mountain.

Bai Qianfan stood on the side of the road and looked forward to it, if they took the money, she would be able to go back, but it could be seen that Niu Er and Niu San were empty-handed, Niu Si was carrying a pheasant in one hand, and the three of them were listless.

She knew that the five hundred taels had soaked in the soup again, she frowned, and was faintly disappointed in her heart, could it be that she was not even worth five hundred taels in the heart of the prince of Chu? Thinking that he combed her hair, taught her a lesson for Mrs. Bai, and took her shopping, he was obviously a good person, why didn't he spend five hundred taels to save her?

She was a little sad, her eyebrows drooped, and she wrapped her fingers around the tassel around her waist, looking lonely.

The Niu brothers were originally a little angry, but seeing her like this, they were a little unbearable, the dignified princess of Chu was not even worth five hundred taels, she must have been very sad in her heart.

Niu Er had to comfort her, "Forget it, why don't we add it up again and see how much is appropriate?" ”

Bai Qianfan half-lowered her head, her eyes were slightly red, and she felt a sadness of being abandoned. In the face of this cruel reality, like the moon in the water, all kinds of kindness to her are gradually distorted and disappeared, and she should not have hope.

Niu Si shook the pheasant in front of her eyes, "Look, what is this, specially given to you, so that you can taste what is called the delicacy of the mountain." ”

As long as it was related to eating, Bai Qianfan immediately put aside all his worries and turned his attention to the pheasant.

"Ho, this feather is so beautiful."

"Stay will kill, let Nizi dry the feathers and make a key for you, so that you can pass the time during the day."

"That's a good dare," Bai Qianfan followed them into the house, beckoning to the big dog Ergou, "Come and see the pheasant." ”

Two little children hula ran up, arguing around the pheasant, one said to be fried to eat, the other said to be stewed to eat, the more they argued, the more they fought, almost fighting, Bai Qianfan hurriedly separated them, said, "One fried to eat, one stewed to eat, so it's all right?" Two brothers, for the sake of stuttering, eating, hurting and angry, you are really good enough. ”

It's strange to say, the big dog and the second dog don't even listen to Nizi's words on weekdays, but as soon as Bai Qianfan said it, they quieted down, glanced at each other, and smiled embarrassedly.

Bai Qianfan said: "I will pluck chicken feathers, don't be lazy, let Sister Nizi make the keys when Ming'er is ready, let's play together." ”

The big dog cut off, "That's the girl's thing, so I don't play with that." ”

Bai Qianfan glanced at him, "You don't play pulling down, Ergou, don't you play?" ”

Ergou replied loudly, "Of course you play." ”

The big dog was a little annoyed, and exhaled, and after a while, he said reluctantly, "Okay, I'll play too." ”

Seeing the three of them arguing, the cow widow shook her head with a smile, what a princess, it's clearly a child.

Orion to make mountain delicacies, the method is very simple, one stewed in a pot, put some mushrooms and wild vegetables picked in the mountains, full of a large pot, standing next to hear the pot of water boiling porphyry, the aroma ran out from the edge of the lid, permeated the air, several children took a deep breath, and invariably said, "It's so fragrant!" ”

They are all greedy children, and from time to time they run to the pot to see if they can steal a piece. Helplessly, Niu Si stayed there, and when he saw them coming, he stared at them and drove them away, and the three children ran away from him, and after a while, they sneaked over again, provoking Niu Si to scold.

The other was chopped by the cow widow and fried in the oil pot, put aside a handful of red dried peppers, a few slices of green onions, ginger and garlic, casually stir-fried, it is another fragrance, this fragrance is more hooking insects, smell and swallow saliva, the three children ran into the kitchen, the cow widow was soft-hearted, took the spatula and checked it, picked a few pieces of cooked food for them, the three children immediately smiled happily, pinched the chicken nuggets, and ran out while gnawing.

Although this meal is still eaten in the nest, but with game, it suddenly became different, the children were noisy and shouting, happy as the New Year, compared who gnawed the cleanest bones, who ate the most, the last comparison, the winner was Bai Qianfan, she ate fast and clean, the gnawed bones were thrown on the ground, and the two dogs were unwilling to lick again.

The cow widow looked at her lovingly, presumably this girl is not doing well in the palace, her husband and father-in-law are enemies, she is sandwiched in the middle and it is difficult to do, and I don't know if I can eat enough at every meal?

After eating, a few people sat outside basking in the moon and drinking water and chatting, Niu Er said, "Qianfan, if five hundred taels is more, how much do you think is appropriate?" ”

Bai Qianfan originally wanted to say fifty taels, but he was a little embarrassed, his eyes rolled, "Why don't you halve it, two hundred and fifty taels, what do you think?" ”

After a day or two of getting along, the Niu brothers' impression of Bai Qianfan is getting better and better, she has no srest, she is not squeamish, she has a sweet mouth, and she can help them sum it up, they invisibly put her on their own side.

Niu Er made the final decision, "Okay, two hundred and five is two hundred and five, as long as you give it, it will be done." ”

Bai Qianfan was a little embarrassed: "I've disappointed you, and I'm worthless." After a pause, he said, "Actually, whether the King of Chu will use money to redeem me, I don't have a bottom in my heart, or we will send a letter to Bai Xiangfu, but we must find a way to hand it over to my father, otherwise it will be in vain." Others wish I was gone forever, and I wouldn't give a single son. ”

Niu Si was a little strange, "Why do they want you to disappear, isn't it a family?" ”

Bai Qianfan smiled bitterly, "You guys are called a family, and what is important in the mansion is interests, and human life is cheap for them." ”
