Early in the morning of the second day, Ye Mengmeng's brother and sister took a carriage to Taohuazhuang.

Because the Hou Mansion was embarrassed, there was only a decent carriage, so the brother and sister didn't even bring the girl, and set off in the same carriage.

Fortunately, Nanchu is relatively open, and it is not a matter for men and women to ride together.

Taohuazhuang is in the eastern suburbs of the capital, the geographical location is still good, not very far, only an hour and a half by carriage.

When Ye Mengmeng's brother and sister arrived in Zhuangzi, the sun had just risen halfway up the mountain.

Ye Mengmeng thought that Peach Blossom Village was so barren that it must be a poor rural area, but she didn't know it, but it was much beyond her expectations.

The scenery here is surprisingly good.

The rolling hills, high and low, dense trees in the forest converge into a long red belt, which looks like the belt of an immortal, which is extremely spectacular.

After a long while, Ye Mengmeng came to his senses, and those red ribbons were maple trees.

It's just that such a long maple forest is too spectacular, right?

She was amazed and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, the scenery here is so beautiful!" ”

Ye Chengxuan just glanced at those beautiful scenery in a hurry, and snorted: "What's the use of beautiful scenery?" and they should not eat. ”

“……”

Ye Mengmeng sighed and agreed with Ye Chengxuan's statement. After all, in a place where food and clothing are a problem, scenery is a useless and superfluous ornament.

Seeing that Zhuangzi was about to arrive, the brother and sister got out of the carriage and walked into Zhuangzi.

The croppers are not as good as the people in the city, they generally get up before dawn to go out to do farm work, and they do not come back for breakfast until midnight, and they only eat two meals a day, and there is no lunch.

When the brother and sister entered the Zhuangzi, the tenants in the Zhuangzi had already gone out to work, leaving only an old family member in charge, Lao Lin, and an insider, Lin Chen and his wife, guarding the courtyard.

As soon as they saw the eldest prince and eldest lady in the main house suddenly come to Zhuangzi, Lao Lin and his family were stunned. Even if the emperor came, they were not surprised by the arrival of these two people.

Needless to say, the eldest prince has traveled abroad all the year round, and he has not been at home for most of the year, and it is difficult for even the old lady to see him, let alone see him in Zhuangzi.

The eldest lady is even more pampered, and it is even more difficult to let her come to Zhuangzi than to let the sun come out of the west.

And now, these two brothers and sisters actually appeared in Zhuangzi at the same time, how could they not surprise Lao Lin?

Lao Lin thought to himself, could it be that this only Zhuangzi was also lost by the master?

Lao Lin's worries are not unreasonable.

The other Zhuangzi in Houfu were lost by Hou Ye half a year ago, fortunately, this Zhuangzi is barren, otherwise I am afraid that it would have been lost a long time ago, right?

Lao Lin is the old family of Houfu, when the old marquis is still there, he is the henchman of the old marquis, and the old marquis trusts him to let him manage the peach blossom village.

It is also thanks to him to do his best to take care of Zhuangzi, if he changes others, like this Zhuangzi who can't squeeze out oil and water, I am afraid that he will sell it long ago.

For decades, although this Zhuangzi has not earned a lot of silver, it has managed to maintain it and has not held back the master, is it now that the master wants to sell it?

Lao Lin has been in the Zhuangzi for so many years, and his feelings for this kind of Zhuangzi are deeper than for his own family, and when he thinks that Zhuangzi may be sold by these losers, he is in a heavy mood, and he is not so enthusiastic about the prince and the eldest lady.

hurriedly took the master in, and under the pretext of being busy in the field, he asked his mother-in-law Lin Chen to come out to entertain the master, and he himself slipped out and sulked.

Lin Chen naturally knew what his family was thinking, and scolded him secretly, but he didn't dare to slack off in his hands, first made a pot of tea, and then drove his seven or eight-year-old little grandson Shi to the back hillside to pick a few fresh fruits, and served them on a plate, greeting with a smile on his face.

"Eldest son, eldest lady, let's use some fruit. There are no good things in the mountains this season, please dislike it. ”

The Ye family brothers and sisters sat at the stone table in the courtyard.

Because of walking a mountain road, Ye Mengmeng's white and tender face looked extremely red and delicate.

She turned her head to look around.

Although this place is relatively simple, fortunately, it is cleaned up, a bit like her former hometown in the countryside, which makes her feel inexplicably intimate.

She smiled sweetly at Lin Chen, "Thank you, Aunt Chen." "I looked down and saw that the fruit on the plate was not big or small, red and bright, round and attractive.

Secretly swallowed saliva, twisted one with his hand, and put it in his mouth.

Wow, it's not sweet and delicious, it's a delicacy that I've never tasted in my life.

"Aunt Chen, what kind of fruit is this, it's so sweet, I've never eaten this kind of fruit. - No, I haven't even seen it! ”

Lin Chen pursed his lips and smiled: "The eldest lady said that she laughed, how could the ladies of the back house have eaten this kind of wild fruit in the back house?" Naturally, I haven't seen it again. ”

"It's true, I've never eaten such a delicious fruit in my life." Ye Mengmeng couldn't help but grab a few more in her mouth, and persuaded again, "Big brother, you can taste it too, it's really delicious." ”

Ye Chengxuan smiled slightly. He is a man, so it is naturally inconvenient to eat so much like a little girl, but he just tasted one symbolically.

Ye Mengmeng had a great appetite, and ate all the fruits on the plate in one go, and there was not a single left.

Lin Chen smiled: "If Miss likes it, the old slave will pick some more?" ”

Ye Mengmeng smiled playfully: "Aunt Chen, do you want the fruit to fill my stomach, and then I can save lunch?" ”

Lin Chen was stunned and couldn't help but laugh.

I heard that the eldest lady was arrogant and domineering, and she was even more contemptuous of her subordinates, but at this time she looked as innocent as a little girl, and she was not as unbearable as the legend.

immediately smiled and said: "The eldest lady is serious, the old woman doesn't dare." However, in the mountains and countryside, although there is no shortage of food, it is naturally much more vulgar than the main house. My eldest grandson hunted a few rabbits in the back mountain, and if the young lady did not dislike it, I would let my mouth slaughter the rabbits later, and use them to roast and eat for the eldest son and the eldest lady at noon. Miss said okay? ”

"Roasted whole rabbit?" Ye Mengmeng's eyes lit up, and the gluttonous insects immediately came out. "Aunt Chen, the first time I came here, you entertained me with this delicacy, how embarrassing?"

Lin Chen shook his head amusedly and said, "Miss, it's just a few rabbits, what delicious can you talk about?" ”

The nobles of Southern Chu did not like to eat hares, so the hares hunted in Zhuangzi were generally digested by the people in Zhuangzi themselves.

"Aunt Chen, roast rabbit is a rare delicacy, at least I think so. Ha ha! ”

Lin Chen smiled: "If Miss likes it, how many will you bring back when you leave?" ”
