Chapter 105 Stealing chickens is not a recipe for rice
Happy times always fly by, and before you know it, it's time to part.
Outside Nancang County.
When Zheng Wenjun came, he only had five masters and five guards, plus five horses, and now he was going back, but he was accompanied by a large and two small carriages.
"You'er, what have you prepared for me? Why are there so many? Zheng Wenjun looked at the carriage in front of him in disbelief and asked leisurely.
"These two small ones, one with fruits, the other with flowers and plants, flowers and trees." Leisurely stretched out his hand to show him, "The last big one, which has the double-sided heterochromatic embroidery I embroidered for you, as well as osmanthus stuffed and sausages." β
"And the cloud smoke yarn that I tried to weave with the method taught by You'er. I've got a couple of them! Shang Moqi hurriedly said, as if he was afraid that he would not be noticed by Zheng Wenjun.
"Thanks, brother." Zheng Wenjun stretched out his hand and lightly hammered his chest, and said with a cheerful smile.
"I've also prepared some gifts for your daughters. There are new styles of bags, as well as skincare products. I asked Brother Sikong how many female dependents you have in your family, and they are all prepared according to the number of people. Leisurely continued, "Oh, yes. The extra ones were given to Brother Sikong's mother-in-law and sisters, so I asked Brother Wenjun to help me send them. β
"Oh? Did you even prepare it for my aunt? It's really heartfelt......" Zheng Wenjun glanced at Sikong Mingyi with some teasing after hearing this, and the look was self-evident!
Sikong Mingyi looked back at him lightly, and his facial expression was still seemingly gentle and indifferent.
"No, it's not." Youran was afraid that he would misunderstand something, so he shook his hand and explained, "This is something that every family has, and I also gave it to Brother Moqi's mother." It's just that Brother Sikong went back too quickly last time, and I didn't have time to prepare, so I didn't send it. This time you went back just in time to make up for it. β
"Oh~~" Zheng Wenjun squinted and continued to glance at Sikong Mingyi, and said in a pretentious tone: "So that's the case!"
Sikong Mingyi glanced at him lightly, but this time there was a hint of warning in his eyes. Tell him to speak more leisurely and not always look indecent.
"Alright, just wait for him to go back and see for himself!" Sikong Mingyi spoke, "It's not too early, cousin, it's time to hit the road!" β
"Hey! What's your tone of voice? How do you say like I'm going to exile? Zheng Wenjun jumped to his feet.
"If you think so, you can do that." Sikong Mingyi glanced faintly again.
Zheng Wenjun: "......"
For the first time, he tried to feel speechless by someone else. He waved his hand helplessly and said, "Forget it, I'd better go!" If you delay any longer, you'll have to have lunch. β
As he spoke, he jumped on his horse and arched his hand to the crowd: "Everyone, we will have a meeting later."
"Wen Jun had a good trip." Qin Haoran stepped forward and raised his hand to hand him a small baggage, "This is filled with some food, so I will give you food when you are hungry on the way." β
"Thank you!" Zheng Wenjun took it and nodded at him.
"Brother Wenjun, goodbye, remember to come back to see us." Said leisurely waving his hand.
"Well, I will." Zheng Wenjun glanced at everyone and waved his hand at them. After that, he took the guards and set out on the journey home.
Compared with the Yiyi Farewell here in Nancang County, the side of Nanyufu City is wonderful.
Less than ten miles to the east outside the southern palace of Minami Gofu, there is a small and quiet village.
At this time, it was 10 o'clock in the morning, not during the busy farming season, and the villagers only got up at this time to do activities.
"Ahh
In a high-walled compound in the village, a sudden scream broke through the silence of the morning.
The servants who heard the cry in the courtyard rushed to the source of the sound.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know?"
"Where did the cry come from?"
"Like...... It came from the courtyard of the eldest lady. β
"Then go and see, don't something happen."
"Yes, yes, yes......"
A group of subordinates were talking as they ran.
Li and Qin Huaifu heard that something had happened to their daughter, so the husband and wife hurried over. When they saw their daughter and her personal maid hugging each other, crying in the corner of the house, Li peeled back the crowd that was watching the excitement at the door and shouted, "Hui'er......"
Qin Huaifu then entered, glanced inside the house, everything was normal, it didn't look like something had happened.
"What happened? Can anyone tell me? He asked the people here majestically.
"No...... I don't know. The subordinates all shook their heads, indicating that they did not know.
ββ¦β¦ Master, Miss Yingge'er and Yingge'er were crying there when we came, and we didn't know what was going on. Among this group of subordinates, a person who was still able to speak in front of his master said to Qin Huaifu hesitantly.
Qin Huaifu didn't ask for any results after asking for a long time, so he could only go into the house and ask his daughter.
At this time, Qin Sihui had been coaxed by the Li family to stop crying, but just lying in the Li family's arms and trembling, as if she was afraid of something.
"Hui'er, what the hell is going on?" Qin Huaifu approached and asked his daughter.
"Daddy...... Daddy ......" After Qin Sihui saw her father, some tears burst out of her eyes, as if she had suffered some grievances.
"Hey~ Don't cry, don't cry! If you have anything to tell your father, your father will call the shots. "This girl of his, but she has been on the tip of her heart for many years, and recently found a good family affair, so he looked at her and gave him a long face!
"Woooooooooo......oo Daddy, that ...... That flower ......" Qin Sihui began to cry again, and was afraid to reach out and point towards a place in the room.
"Flowers?" Qin Huaifu looked in the direction of her finger suspiciously, only to see that it was the pot of flowers he had stolen from Youran, which was being placed on a tall flower stand at this time.
"What happened to the flowers?" Qin Huaifu turned his head and glanced at Li Shi suspiciously.
Li Shi didn't know why, shook his head and said, "I don't know!"
"No, Dad, that flower ......" Qin Sihui explained in a hurry, and even her tears were gone, "That flower, it's alive." β
Qin Huaifu didn't understand what his daughter meant for a while, and asked rhetorically, "Flowers are not alive, are they still dead?" β
"Master, then flower it......" Ying Ge'er, who was standing on the side, saw that he didn't understand for a while, and immediately explained: "It moves, and it can bite things......"
"What?" Li was shocked and exclaimed.
"It's true, mother." Qin Sihui clasped Li's arm with both hands and explained anxiously: "I got up in the morning to water Yingge'er, but I didn't expect it to open its mouth and bite Yingge'er. I didn't believe it at first, thinking she had been accidentally pricked by a burr on a leaf. Unexpectedly, at this time, an insect flew over, and the flower ate the worm in one bite, and I saw it with my own eyes......"
Li Shi was speechless in shock at this time, and Yuan opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the pot of flowers.
Qin Huaifu was also shocked in his heart, he slowly walked towards the flower and observed carefully.
The first time he saw this flower in the leisurely nursery room, he fell in love with it at first sight. Because there were more than ten pots placed together at that time, only this one was the best and the largest! And it looks like it's going to bloom.
At this time, it had grown six leaves, the size of a small shell, and it was very cute and pink. Now his daughter actually told him that this flower would bite, and he didn't believe it for a while, but it was because his daughter was still a little confused when she got up in the morning.
"Daddy, it really moves. If you don't believe me, you call someone to catch a worm and feed it to try. Qin Sihui was afraid that her father would not believe it, so she spoke.
Qin Huaifu really had doubts in his heart, and waved his hand to summon a subordinate and asked him to catch a worm.
After a while, the subordinate caught a mantis that was not too big and came back and handed it over to Qin Huaifu.
Qin Huaifu reached out and pinched the mantis's neck, staring at the pot of flowers for a long time before slowly leaning it over. Suddenly, something magical happened -
I saw that the flower, which had been motionless just now, suddenly closed when the mantis's body touched its shell-like leaves, just like a real shell, and when it touched a foreign object, it would close. It's just that the shells are put together to protect themselves, and the flowers are put together to eat.
"Ahh Master-" When Li saw it, his face turned white, and he quickly reached out and pulled back Qin Huaifu's feeding palm. Frightened, he watched the scene happening in front of him.
The mantis wasn't too big, just enough to eat a trap of flyweed. Because it had just been swallowed, the praying mantis was still somewhat conscious, and struggled desperately in the clip; How could this beaked duck make it fly? The Venus succumbed tightly and slowly digested it. After a while, the little praying mantis, which was still struggling, remained motionless.
Qin Huaifu was stunned by this scene! Motionless, staring at the flytrap and eating.
"Ah...... Goblin...... Goblin...... Demon Flower! The man who had just caught the praying mantis had not left, and he was also curious about what had happened. When he saw it at this time, his face changed dramatically in fright, and he pointed to the flytrap that was still digesting the mantis with a trembling hand, and staggered out the door.
The people outside the door were shouted by him like this, like a plate of loose sand, and they ran away. At the same time, he exclaimed, "Demon flowerβ"
Qin Huaifu was called back to his senses by their call. He stepped forward, picked up the pot of flowers and threw it outside.
With a "bump-" sound, the flower pot smashed to the ground and was torn apart. And the flytrap was so broken that it broke its roots. Lying pitifully on the ground, a half-digested mantis corpse was still wrapped in a leaf.
"Old ...... Sir, is that all it takes? It...... Is it dead? Li Shi walked over in fright, hugged Qin Huaifu's strong arm, and asked tremblingly.
ββ¦β¦ I don't know. Qin Huaifu calmed down his frightened heart and shook his head slowly.
"Daddy......" Qin Sihui glanced at the corpse of the flytrap with a white face, and proposed: "Why don't you let the next life be a fire and burn it?" When burned to ashes, there is no fear of resurrection. β
"Yes, yes, Hui'er is right." Li nodded in agreement.
"Well, that's fine." Qin Huaifu agreed without thinking, summoned his subordinates, lit a brazier and began to burn the flytrap.
After the burning, he summoned everyone in the family for a brief meeting, and the content of the meeting was that all the things that happened today should not be passed on, and if they were found, the family rules would be dealt with.
And the Venus flytrap also taught him a lesson. Youran let him have a good understanding of what it means to 'steal chickens and rice, and lose your wife and soldiers'.
