Recently, the rainy season has begun, and it has been raining for several days. The magnolia in the courtyard greeted the continuous rain, and quietly poked out a few white calyxes on the bald branches, and the rain eroded its faint fragrance.

The roof of Cao Ran's room was soaked by rain in several places, and the room was still slowly dripping at first, but after several days of heavy rain, the roof leaked even more, and the rapid "tick tick" sound made people panic and irritate.

Chu Bo saw that the sky was overcast, and he didn't know how long it would rain heavily. So he put on his coat, took his hat, braved the heavy rain and dropped a cart of vegetables more than usual, ready to send them to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Cao Ran held an old paper umbrella on top of the two of them and said, "Dad, it's raining so hard now, you better wait for the rain to be lighter before sending it,"

Chu Bo shook his head, "No, it's not early now, the dishes from Fengfu must be sent over today, I will send more today, if it still rains so heavily tomorrow, I can send it later" said and raised his whip to catch up with the donkey cart.

Speaking of the donkey, it is the darling of the family, and Chu Bo hates to wear a coat and a hat for the donkey. Besides, there are more vegetables on the donkey cart today than usual, and Chu Bo would rather walk in the mud by himself than sit on the donkey cart.

After noon, the lingering rain finally became much lighter. Cao Ran and Aunt Wei had already prepared a meal at home and waited for Chu Bo to come back, and after about an hour, they saw a strong man returning with Chu Bo on his back.

On the way to deliver food, Chu Bo passed by a rugged road, the donkey cart walked very slowly, Chu Bo was anxious to delay the delivery of food, and whipped the donkey twice, who expected the donkey to suffer pain, and the whole car turned over to Chu Bo. Fortunately, Chu Bo did not sit in the car, only one foot was under the car, otherwise he was afraid that the whole person would be buried underneath.

Chu Bo's foot was only sprained, and it was not a big deal to recuperate for a few days.

In the next few days, the errand of delivering food to the Feng Mansion fell on Aunt Wei and Cao Ran.

Cao Ran and Aunt Wei came to the backyard of Feng's mansion, and it was a middle-aged woman who was in charge of receiving vegetables. As soon as they met, they were aggressive, "You don't want to do this errand, you didn't send food over yesterday, and today it's so late, delaying the meal at the house!" ”

Aunt Wei was a little panicked and told her what happened yesterday.

The fat woman dragged her yellow face and snorted coldly: "It's just a little rain, the countrymen are still so squeamish, they won't be used to deliver vegetables in the future, there are many people who want to eat this bowl of rice." ”

Aunt Wei hurriedly pulled the fat woman's sleeve and said: "It's our fault, there was an accident yesterday, there will be no more such things in the future, please don't quit our errand, our whole family lives on this errand, please......"

The fat woman pushed Aunt Wei to the ground and scolded: "Don't cry here, it's too late, you have already changed someone else yesterday." ”

Cao Ran couldn't bear it anymore, helped Aunt Wei up, and pointed to the fat woman's nose, "Why don't you have any sympathy at all, haven't you seen the rainstorm yesterday!" Did you hide under the covers yesterday and be lazy? Isn't it just one less day of food, and we apologize, how can you still push people, the dignified Feng Mansion actually has a dog slave like you. ”

"You stinky girl, you dare to scold me, see if I don't tear your mouth!" The fat woman clenched her fists and rushed towards Cao Ran, Cao Ran was a petite figure of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl at this time, and with a flexible turn, the middle-aged fat woman fell into the mud with too much force.

The fat woman stood up and was about to attack again......

"Mama Xu, what's wrong with you, what do you look like when you're dirty." The fat woman stopped moving her hand when she heard the sound.

Looking in the direction where he spoke, he saw two figures walking in front of him and behind him on the courtyard path. It was the girl who walked in front of her who spoke. The girl has shaved shoulders and a thin waist, a slender figure, a pink Luo skirt, and a domineering and invincible arrogance between her eyebrows, which is the eldest lady in the house, Feng Qianyao.

Cao Ran had never seen a real rich lady in ancient times, and when she saw the beautiful and dignified girl in front of her coming up, she was really a peerless beauty, and she fell into a daze for a moment.

"Mama Xu, who are these two people?" The girl stopped and asked.

The fat woman bowed lightly and replied, "Miss Hui, these two are vegetable farmers in the house, yesterday they will deliver vegetables in the future, and today they came over to teach the slave and maid just two lessons, and they actually beat the slave and maid, and asked the eldest lady to be the master of the slave and maid." ”

Cao Ran's heart was full of anger, this dog slave deceived people too much, and dared to frame him, and took a step forward and said: "She said nonsense, it is true that she did not come to deliver food yesterday due to an accident, but we have already explained and apologized when we came over today, it is she who has been abusive, and wants to quit our errand to deliver food, my mother begged her hard, and pushed my mother to the ground, Miss, don't be deceived by this slave!" ”。

Feng Tianyao didn't even glance at Cao Ran, and said coldly, "Oh? Yes, but what I saw was that Mama Xu fell into the mud, since you want to be an errand here, then stay and be a rough girl, and see if this errand is so easy to do. ”

Cao Ran thought that this eldest lady was beautiful and dignified, and she should be a gentle and kind-hearted lady, but she didn't think about it and was deceived by this hypocritical appearance.

Mama Xu saw that her master was defending herself like this, and she was very proud in her heart, leaving this girl in the house to be a rough girl, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get out of today's breath! Immediately called a few guards, and said proudly: "The eldest lady ordered to keep this girl as a rough girl, and if you don't hurry up, lock her up in the firewood room for me, and learn the rules first." ”

Cao Ran, a weak woman, who could beat a few strong men, was forcibly erected and ready to be dragged away.

Aunt Wei held Cao Ran's hand in a panic, begging Feng Qianyao in a low and helpless voice, the guard pulled Aunt Wei's hand away, Aunt Wei staggered to the ground, crawling and grabbing Feng Qianyao's skirt, "Please let the eldest lady spare the little girl, the little girl is ignorant and collided with the eldest lady, the eldest lady is merciful and forgive her!" ”

Feng Qianyao frowned slightly, and dragged the hem of her skirt to move in disgust, "Take away your dirty hands!" ”

The maid who had been standing behind Feng Qianyao knew the master's intentions very well, "Why don't you drag this dirty woman out quickly, don't let her stain the eldest lady's dress." ”

Cao Ran understands that they have no power and power, their lives are like mustard, and no matter how they toss, they can't withstand the high-ranking and powerful Feng Mansion, and they can be convicted with just one word. "Don't hurt my mother, I'll stay and be a rough maid, don't hurt my mother."

Cao Ran was crossed with her arms, and her slender back was getting farther and farther away.

Behind him, Feng Qianyao smiled and said, "How about the soup prepared for my father, I will personally send it over." Mama Xu replied in a low voice: "Miss Hui, I'm ready, I'll bring it to you." ”

A few days ago, Feng Qianyao learned from Ye Qing, who often worked beside his father, that the emperor had issued a secret edict and ordered Xuanwang Yu Wenhua, who had guarded the frontier for six years, to return to Beijing to discuss matters. Feng Tianyao was very pleased.

Six years ago, on the birthday of the Jin Emperor, a hunting competition was held in Nanshan outside the city to celebrate, all the men in the families of officials of all sizes who knew how to ride and shoot were allowed to participate, and the Jin Emperor promised that the person who hunted the most prey could make a wish to him.

The ninth princess Yu Wenmin is the youngest daughter of the emperor, the most loved by the emperor, she is lively and cute by nature, loves to join in the fun, and begged the emperor in every way to allow her to go hunting together, Feng Qianyao as the princess's companion since childhood.

And the ninth princess is obediently an audience outside the venue, relying on her three-legged cat kung fu, she pulled Feng Tianyao, dressed up as a man, and stole into the hunting ground thinking that she could also get a first-class ranking.

Unexpectedly, not long after the two entered the hunting ground, the ninth princess raised an arrow and chased a gray rabbit jumping wildly, and Feng Tianyao followed the ninth princess closely, with beads of sweat oozing on her forehead, panting and puffing, she did not lose a trace of beauty in the appearance of a man.

The Ninth Princess stopped and was about to draw her bow to aim, a strong wind wrapped in a chill came from the left front, Feng Qianyao just chased after the Ninth Princess's side at this time, and when she raised her eyes, she saw a cold arrow shooting towards the Ninth Princess, and shouted without thinking: "Princess, be careful", pushed the Ninth Princess away, and at this moment Feng Qianyao fell into a pool of blood.

Feng Qianyao, like the Ninth Princess, thought that she was really dead at that time.

Three days later, Feng Qianyao woke up in the bed of the Ninth Princess, her heart ached, her face was pale, and her pretty face looked a little haggard.

The Ninth Princess has been taking care of her for the past three days, because she blocked the arrow for the Ninth Princess and almost lost her life.

On the other hand, the person who finally won the hunting competition in the hunting ground is undoubtedly Yu Wenhua, who is unmatched in riding skills and martial arts. And the person who shot the arrow at the princess had no intention of it, but had to bear the consequences of the accident. Coincidentally, the person who shot the arrow here was none other than Chu Feng, the centurion in Yu Wenhua's army.

According to the law, it is a capital crime to hurt the princess whether it is intentional or not, because Yu Wenhua pleaded with Emperor Jin for hunting and winning the championship, and finally demoted Chu Feng to a soldier and sentenced fifty military staff as punishment.

Half a month later, Feng Qianyao was able to get out of bed and walk, and the emperor personally came to visit Feng's mansion, saying that she had a great favor to the ninth princess and would definitely reward her, and asked her what reward she wanted. Feng Qianyao has everything from childhood to adulthood, wealth and wealth, and the only thing she can't ask for in her heart is Yu Wenhua, how can she miss such a good opportunity.

Feng Qianyao gently brushed aside the maid who was supporting her, knelt on her knees, and made a big gift to Emperor Jin, with a serious expression: "It is the honor of being able to protect the princess in times of crisis, and I dare not ask the emperor for a reward." ”

The emperor helped Feng Qianyao with one hand, and said with a strong attitude: "I am very pleased that you can sacrifice your life to save Min'er, how can you not repay such a life-saving grace, if you have any long-cherished requests, I will try my best to satisfy you." ”

Feng Qianyao's slightly pale cheeks flushed, "Since the emperor has given Qianyao such kindness, he will no longer refuse, the little girl has no other wishes in her heart, so she has the courage to ask the emperor for a marriage contract." ”

After speaking, everyone in the courtyard, including Feng Dao, was surprised. Feng Dao, who was standing on the side, was even more apprehensive in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward, and saluted: "It's the minister who usually spoils this daughter, how can this kind of marriage be mentioned by a girl's family, and please don't blame the emperor." ”

The emperor ignored Feng Dao on the side, and smiled at Feng Qianyao with more interest: "Oh? Whose son is it, it is also his blessing to be able to make this eldest lady of the Feng family in the capital take a fancy to him. ”

Feng Qianyao mustered up his courage and let out a weak voice: "What Qianyao likes is His Royal Highness King Xuan. ”

"Haha, it turned out to be that stinky boy who doesn't understand feelings, he is the best boy around me, good vision! But lately he is afraid that he will lead an army to go on an expedition, and I promise you that when he returns from the army, he will marry you. ”

Feng Tianyao couldn't suppress the joy in her heart, and immediately saluted and thanked her, "Thank you to the emperor for your success." ”

Who would have thought that Yu Wenhua would not return for six years, and the marriage promised by the emperor was never mentioned. Now that Yu Wenhua has been ordered back to Beijing, Feng Tianyao must not miss this opportunity and let his previous efforts go to waste.
