CHAPTER 40
"Alright, Ah Yang, let's go." After Mrs. Wen wiped the water droplets from her hands, she reached out and took the mandarin duck from her seat.
She followed Mrs. Wen into the dining room together, and in just a short time, the round table was already full of mandarin ducks' favorite stir-fried dishes.
"Mother, isn't this a little too prepared?" The mandarin duck approached and looked at the dish in front of him, which was obviously more than he had eaten.
"How so? We need to eat more to be beautiful. Mrs. Wen covered her mouth and looked at the mandarin duck with a smile, for the first time since Xia Yuan's accident so many days, she saw the rekindled light in the mandarin duck's eyes.
After a few chopsticks, the mandarin duck slowly felt that his already shriveled stomach finally had some sense. With the slow squirming of the stomach, the mandarin duck finally had a feeling of hunger, which was really uncomfortable.
Mrs. Wen didn't say anything, just watched the mandarin ducks eat. The sound of chopsticks colliding with the bowl became the only sound.
After swallowing the last bite, the mandarin duck stopped the chopsticks in his hand.
"Mother, I'm full."
"Good, good, just eat well." Then he shouted out the door, "Fugui, come and clean up." ”
"Well, okay, come right away, ma'am."
After finishing the meal, the mandarin duck's face was obviously much rudder, and he was no longer so lifeless.
She walked up to Mrs. Wen and said, "Mother, I'll go out for a walk." ”
"Come back early, don't be playful."
"Got it."
The mandarin duck, who left the dining room, did not walk towards the main entrance of the general's mansion, but turned around and walked to the relatively remote account room, listening to the sound of the collision of the abacus inside, the mandarin duck knew that he was not looking for the wrong place.
"Uncle? I'm in. ”
"Ah, it's the eldest lady." Steward Wen sat at a desk, stopped the pen in his hand, took off his glasses, and looked at the door, "Is there something wrong?" Miss. ”
"Uncle, I have a question for you."
"You ask."
"Then I'll ask directly, you must know where Xiao Yuan is now, right?"
"The eldest lady wants to go to His Highness?"
"Yes, uncle, please tell me if you know."
"This ...... The old man really doesn't know. Steward Wen looked embarrassed.
"How could it be...... Uncle, weren't you known as Xu Tongtong, who was known as the know-it-all in the Central Plains, in the past? The mandarin duck's expression was a little excited, and he didn't believe that there would be anything that Xu Tongtou didn't know.
"It was all so many years ago, how did you know that?" Steward Wen was also surprised, obviously he didn't expect that this matter would be known to Mandarin Ducks.
"Uncle, do you really remember? You wanted to take me as an apprentice in the first place. ”
"Apprentices?" Steward Wen gradually overlapped the facial features of the mandarin duck with the delicate little boy he met in front of the Hakka restaurant a few years ago, and suddenly realized, "That little boy is actually you?" ”
"At that time, it was just to sneak out of the palace, so I dressed as a man." The mandarin duck was a little anxious, "So uncle, you must know where Xiao Yuan is, right?" ”
"To be honest, this Royal Highness is really mysterious, and I did inquire, but no one has really seen this Highness in the imperial city, and some people even speculate whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lives in a deep mountain or old forest or something."
"Deep mountains and old forests? Deep in the mountains and old forests, ......" the mandarin duck suddenly seemed to remember something, "I know!" Thank you, uncle. ”
After thanking him, Steward Wen looked at the back of the mandarin duck rushing out, shook his head, and sighed: "Thank you, thank you, the old man didn't help you with anything, eldest miss." ”
"Achai! Prepare the car! I'm going out of town. The mandarin duck shouted and ran into the bedroom.
"Yes, Miss." Ah Chai looked at the mandarin duck that disappeared after a gust of wind, and was a little worried about whether he had auditory hallucinations, isn't the eldest lady very energetic?
