Chapter 263: Travel Mission

"Today is a big victory, and this son will give you more food." As soon as Xu Shizi returned to the gate of the Liwang Mansion, he waved his hand to the doorman arrogantly and said.

"Thank you, Lord Shizi!"

In the voice of thanks from the subordinates, Xu Shizi put his arm around Shen Yafei's shoulders and walked away.

"Poof!" For the first time, Shen Yafei felt that Xu Shizi's appearance like a little bully was quite attractive.

"Welcome back with a great victory!" Xu Shizi and Shen Yafei had just been called away by Gonggong Wu, and the prince also sent someone to invite Prince Li into the palace to discuss things. After the fact, the prince was worried about the situation of Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi, and specially asked people to go to Fukang Palace to take a look, but the news he got was that the Queen Mother was furious after Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi left, first dropped the things in the palace, and later killed a palace maid in the palace.

After hearing these news, the prince was basically able to determine that Shen Yafei and the prince not only retreated, but also made the Queen Mother so angry that she jumped to her feet: "You don't know that after you left, the Queen Mother was angry with the entire Fukang Palace, and the most suffering was Gonggong Wu, the Queen Mother complained that he brought Ah Xu into the palace, and when I left the palace, Gonggong Wu was beaten by the Queen Mother." ”

"It's all thanks to your clever son." Xu Shizi wrote a few big words on his face: Praise me, come and praise me.

The prince of the thunderbolt was amused by the childish appearance of the prince, and he slapped the door of the head of the prince: "Get out." ”

Before the second slap of the Emperor came down, Xu Shizi skillfully dodged it.

The prince laughed angrily and reprimanded, "You go back to the courtyard to eat first, and then go down to the study to find me." ”

"Okay." Xu Shizi put away her hanging-like appearance, and Zhengse responded.

"The prince summoned me to the palace today because the prince's subordinates found something very unusual in the suburbs." When Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi came to the study of the prince of Li, the prince happened to be playing chess with Hua Xi, and when they saw Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi coming in, they put away the chess pieces, and after the four of them sat together, the prince said slowly about the conversation of the prince today, "There are a few places in the suburbs that people seem to have contracted a strange disease. The crown prince hoped that the princess would be able to take a look. ”

"What do you think about this?" The prince looked at Shen Yafei's eyes and asked for her opinion.

"I listen to my father. If my father also thinks that there is something wrong with the suburbs, and he wants to find out, then I will find out. Shen Yafei said with a light smile.

In Shen Yafei's place, only the people she cares about are useful when they speak, and she never cares about other people's words. has been with Shen Yafei for a long time, and everyone in the Liwang Mansion understands Shen Yafei's personality. However, when doing anything, they will respect Shen Yafei's opinion.

"Well, that's good." The prince nodded, turned to the prince and said, "Ah Xu, you prepare tomorrow, and the two of you will take people to the suburbs." ”

"As us?" Xu Shizi asked.

"Put on makeup."

"Okay." The prince replied.

The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi got up from the bed, and the two first walked all the way to the direction of Chengling Temple in a carriage. Halfway through, Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi dressed up as a mountain couple who came out of the mountains just now. The two of them carried the basket on their backs to a small village that the prince said.

The two climbed over a mountain and came to this hill called Peach Blossom Village. In the afternoon, the two of them came down from the mountain with the herbs full of Lou Kuang on their backs, looking for a place to stay. He also carried two rabbits and three squirrels in his hands.

"Uncle and aunt, we are from Fenglin Town on the other side of the mountain. We came here to pick herbs, and we couldn't rush back. Is there a place in your village where I can spend the night? On the way down the mountain, Xu Shizi and Shen Yafei met two middle-aged couples who had just come back from the field and looked honest, and their feet were still covered with mud.

"The two are ······" The uncle looked the two up and down.

"My name is Xiaohua," Xu Shizi first introduced himself, and then introduced Shen Yafei to the two, "This is Neizi, called Xiaofei." We can't go back today, so we want to find a place to stay here. ”

"Oh, it's okay, just come to our house. Uh, but ······" The aunt was very enthusiastic, but she was also a little restrained, and said embarrassedly, "Our family is relatively simple, I don't know your habits of not being able to live, I hope you don't dislike it." ”

"Habitual, habitual. Our family has been farming for generations, but we recently met a barefoot doctor who taught us some herbs. The situation at home is more difficult, so we thought about picking some herbs to supplement the family. Xu Shizi hurriedly said.

"That's good, that's good." The aunt's mouth was talking, but her eyes were glued to the game in Xu Shizi's hands, and her throat rolled a few times.

She glanced at the two hares several times, and later found that Xu Shizi and Shen Yafei were looking at her, she looked away from the hares, and smiled shyly: "Our family hasn't seen each other for a long time, this ······"

Auntie was embarrassed to continue. The uncle's face was also slightly red. Although both of them were determined to go up to the hare, there was only envy in their eyes, not possessiveness. Seeing the aunt's reaction later, it can be seen that both of them are honest people, but they haven't eaten meat for too long, and they reacted when they were greedy for a while.

Xu Shizi hurriedly handed over the game and said, "Since you live at the uncle and aunt's house, then you have to trouble the uncle and aunt to help deal with this." It's cold now, but it's not good to stay long. We usually eat a lot, so please cook it for us, can you? ”

"Okay, okay, no problem." The aunt hurriedly nodded in agreement, she quickly put the hoe in her hand on the uncle's shoulder, and took all the game in Xu Shizi's hand by herself.

"Ahem." The uncle's face turned red and reminded his wife with a coughing sound. But the aunt was so excited that she didn't listen to the uncle's cough at all.

"Uncle, I'm going to bother you today." The aunt picked up the game and walked forward, and after glancing back at the uncle, Xu Shizi followed with Shen Yafei.

The uncle also followed behind Xu Shizi with a red face.

After walking for about three quarters of an hour, Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi followed their aunt to a wasteland, where there was a small mud-brick bungalow, which was low and looked very small.

"That's all of us." The aunt was talking at the front of the house.

"Daddy, Auntie." At this time, three children came out of the house, the eldest was six years old, and the youngest was only three years old, and the clothes they wore were patched, but they were all neat and clean.

The three of them saw that there were two people behind the aunt, and took back the little feet that had just come out of the door.

"Big girl, second girl, dog, this is my brother and sister, hurry up and call someone." The aunt asked the three children to greet people.

"Brother, sister." First the big ones called weakly, and the little ones followed suit.

"You guys stay in this house tonight. This house is usually occupied by several of our children. The aunt pointed to the earthen house on the right and said.

Xu Shizi took down the back basket on himself and Shen Yafei, and Uncle Shui took the back basket to the kitchen and put it away.

After entering the house, Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi found that there were only two rooms in this room. The two looked at these two humble houses, and stiffly turned their heads to look at the uncle and aunt: "We live in this house, so where do you all live?" ”

Seeing the situation in this house and home, Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi finally understood why the middle-aged couple had such a smile at this age.

"That's where we live." The big girl replied loudly.

"yes, we all live in this one, and there are two beds in this house. Usually there are people in the house, and we all live in this room as a family. The aunt said bluntly.

"Then thank you, uncle and aunt." Shen Yafei smiled and thanked him.

"Alas, don't keep calling you uncle and aunt. My family's name is Ah Shui, so you can call us Uncle Shui and Aunt Shui. Aunt Shui said briskly.

"You must have no clothing for rejoicing, so I'll go and bring you my clothes and my clothes." Aunt Shui handed the game in her hand to Uncle Shui to take out and dispose of it, and went into the house to find clothes by herself.

"You take it for a change first, take a rest, and call you when we get the food ready." Aunt Shui stuffed the clothes into Shen Yafei's arms.

Shen Yafei turned around and put the clothes into Xu Shizi's arms, and said to Aunt Shui, "I'll go with you to get food." ”

"No, no. We'll just do it. Aunt Shui hurriedly waved her hand and said.

"You're welcome, I usually make food at home." Shen Yafei tightened her two cuffs and walked towards the kitchen shed next to her.

Xu Shizi took a big step into the room, threw the clothes in his hand on the bed, withdrew, and said to Aunt Shui, "Usually I make fires. ”

After speaking, he chased after Shen Yafei's back. Seeing that the two loved each other, Aunt Shui showed a look of envy in her eyes, thought of some pictures in her mind, and then lowered her head and smiled bitterly, and quickly sorted out her emotions again, turned around and cut grass to feed the pigs.

Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi boiled a rabbit and two squirrels, and they asked Aunt Shui and Uncle Shui to leave the rest until tomorrow. Copying, roasting, and stewing, they used three cooking methods to cook these three game. In the process of making it, it is already full of fresh fragrance and makes people salivate.

In this earthen house, the environment is very simple, and the clothes are not bright, but this meal Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi ate very happily. Especially for Xu Shizi, this is the first time he has eaten with such an ordinary and simple person. The laughter and laughter at the dinner table are so real, there is no need for any vigilance and scheming.

This experience is somewhat similar to eating with your family at home, but it is very different, because the person at this table has no blood relationship with you, and the other party does not need to tolerate you because of their pity.
