Chapter 13: The Noble Son
Anhai Village.
The Wu family's face was sad, Wu Guitian couldn't bear it, "Xiaoyuan doesn't know what's going on, I'll go to the county to take a look." β
"I'll go too."
Several people rushed to respond, but Wu Shuang was silent, since Song Qingyuan asked her to wait for him to come back, she had a plan in her heart.
Wu Xiuwen advised everyone to wait and see, "The county government will not let us get close to it at all, where can we find out the whereabouts of the felons." β
Wu Shuang nodded, "What the eldest brother said makes sense, I believe that Song Qingyuan is not a pirate, and the county government will release him if the trial is clear, and we will wait a few more days." β
If Song Qingyuan hadn't come back a few days later, she wouldn't have to say that she would find a way to find him.
Because of Song Qingyuan's incident, the people in the village who passed by the Wu family hated to walk around, for fear that this matter would involve them, and the pirates were serious offenders and wanted to be killed.
He Xue didn't know what crazy she had been in the past two days, she was hanging around at the door of his house every day, Wu Shuang and Wu Xiuwen were going out to deliver and ran into her, and her dog mouth that couldn't spit out ivory began to babble again: "I thought your 'Song Gongzi' was a character, but I didn't expect it to really make me right, it's a pirate, look at my mouth, it's weird." β
Wu Shuang said: "The matter is still undecided, don't be too happy." β
"What else do you need to conclude, what person's portrait will be posted on the notice board, you are deceiving yourself, there will be no stinky boy in the way in the future, I see who else you can rely on to show off your might!"
Wu Xiuwen couldn't listen to it anymore, and frowned: "Miss He, Xiaoshuang's brother is still here, you say these are inappropriate." β
After He Xue was rejected by Wu Xiuwen, her mentality changed wonderfully, her dislike for Wu Xiuwen was different from that for others, she just wanted to see him begging for herself, wanted him to admit that he was blind at the beginning, and wanted to see him regret it.
He Xue raised her chin slightly, looking arrogant, "Wu Xiuwen, I advise you to be interested, if you don't want to be implicated by the kid surnamed Song, it's not too late to beg me now, maybe I will be merciful and let your family go." β
Wu Shuang asked: "Miss He must be thirsty after saying it has been so long, wait, I'll go and bring you water." β
He Xue was complacent, even if this stinky girl had a bit of eyesight.
After a while, Wu Shuang came out of it, carrying a bucket of swill that his family used today, "Come on, Miss He." "Say it, one up.
Not a drop of this soup was poured on He Xue, and the maid next to her was not spared.
"Ahh He Xue covered her face and screamed, the heavy smell of rancid smell made her dizzy, "What are you all doing in a daze, give it to me!" β
Wu Xiuwu rushed out of the courtyard, carrying a long wooden stick with a thick wrist, his tendons and flesh all over his body were tight, and his face was fierce and vicious, "Whoever dares to come over, you try!" β
No one in the village knew that Wu Xiuwu's strange power was amazing, and several domestic servants were just temporarily arrested by He Xue to serve as a faΓ§ade, and they couldn't work hard for an errand, so they all hesitated and refused to come forward.
Although their numbers are large, if they do fight, they may not be able to gain benefits.
At this time, it was the time to go to sea, and there were not many people left in the village, most of them were women, children and old people, and when they heard the movement, they only dared to watch from a distance, and did not dare to come forward to help.
Wu Shuang is out, she must let this Miss He family have a long memory today, don't run to his house for three days to disgust people, if they blindly retreat and endure, she will bully even harder.
The tension here is about to start, and I listen to the villagers in the distance chattering about something.
"Who's here for such a big battle?"
"I don't know, it looks like I'm going to Wu Guitian's house."
The voice was getting closer and closer to this side, Wu Shuang looked up, and saw a group of people coming this way, those people seemed to be carrying a lot of things on their shoulders, and this posture was like someone in the village who was going to marry a family and want to be hired.
Both sides of the confrontation were attracted by the noise over there, and the guy in his hand was still holding it, but he couldn't fall for a long time.
When those people got closer, Wu Shuang recognized at a glance that it was Song Qingyuan who walked in front of him.
He Xue pointed at him in surprise, "Aren't you supposed to stay in the prison?" β
Song Qingyuan bowed slightly, as if giving a salute, but his eyes didn't even look at He Xue, "Thank you Miss He, if you hadn't sent me to the county, I wouldn't have found my family." β
"What are you looking for, what nonsense are you talking about, you are a pirate, you must have used some shady means to confuse the magistrate!" He Xue was furious.
Bi Ning had never seen such an unreasonable person to his master, so he stepped forward and pushed He Xue away, "Where is the crazy woman, my son-in-law is also framed by you at will?" β
Song Qingyuan glanced at him and asked him not to do too much, just deal with these things in private.
Wu Shuang was overjoyed to see Song Qingyuan coming back, and didn't want to entangle with He Xue too much, "Miss He, what you just said is to accuse the county magistrate of not knowing people clearly, and handling the case in confusion, I'm afraid that it won't be your turn to talk about it." β
He Xue knew that she was speechless, and with so many people around her watching, it was useless for her to really pursue it.
The villagers also said, "If the people are released, they must be innocent, maybe they misunderstood before." β
He Xue was isolated, and she couldn't get any benefit if she continued to stay, so she snorted and threw down a cruel word and left.
Bi Ning instructed the people behind him to pile the gifts they brought into the courtyard of the Wu family.
The people in the village had never seen so many good things, and they all poked their heads out to look at the door of Wu's house.
As soon as the things were put down, Wu Guitian came back from outside, and he saw a bunch of people around his door from afar, and thought something was wrong.
"Uncle Guitian, your family has met a nobleman, and the kid he picked up is not a pirate, he is a rich son, and he has come to thank you at this time."
Wu Guitian squeezed in to take a look, but no, the handsome young man in brocade clothes was Song Qingyuan.
Song Qingyuan saw Wu Guitian coming, and saluted him: "There are many disturbances during this time, these things are a little expressive, I hope you accept them." β
This box of food and clothing, he never thought about it, where did he dare to accept it, "I can't help it, you better take it back, we will leave you for a few days to eat coarse tea and light rice, you still work with me, how can you receive such a valuable gift." β
Bi Ning said: "This is a little bit of our son's heart, you can accept it." β
Wu Guitian asked Song Qingyuan about the origin of his life experience, only to know that he was the son of a wealthy merchant in the capital, and this time he came to the beach to do some fish business.
Wu Guitian put his mind at ease, "That little Nizijing of the He family will shout blindly, and he can't read a notice clearly, so I said how can such an honest child be a pirate, this time it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, just find it, when do you plan to go back with them?" β
With this question, the atmosphere of the room suddenly became solemn.
No one wanted Song Qingyuan to leave.
Wu Guitian also felt sad when he said it, he didn't want Song Qingyuan to be a noble son at this time, if it was an ordinary child who could still see it in the future, this time he went to the capital and the mountains and rivers were long, and they were afraid that they would not see each other again in this life.
This time I saw it, and no one felt good in my heart.
Wu Shuang broke the silence and tried to liven up the atmosphere, "It's been a morning, and when I see that the meal is ordered, everyone is hungry, stay at home at noon today to eat, I'll cook, big brother and second brother, you come to help." β
She turned around and went to the kitchen, Wu Xiuwen and Wu Xiuwu just wanted to follow, Song Qingyuan took the lead, "Big brother and second brother, you rest, I'll just go." β
The two looked at each other and knew each other.
Since Song Qingyuan entered the door just now, Wu Shuang hadn't said a word to him, and this was just the right time for them to spend time alone.
Bi Ning couldn't see the situation clearly, how could he let his master help with the cook, and he was about to follow immediately, but he was glared at by Song Qingyuan, he stood in place and scratched his head for unknown reasons, and was beckoned by the two brothers of the Wu family to drink tea.
"Come on, Brother Bi, you're tired of walking so far, drink some water."
Bi Ning was still looking in the direction of the kitchen, and when he saw Song Qingyuan wearing a good Yunluo brocade serving water and washing vegetables in the muddy yard, he suddenly felt that his eyelids jumped, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to look at it anymore. Is this still His Highness?
Wu Shuang's consciousness entered the game space, the peanuts planted had already matured, she picked them and took them to the production space that had just been opened, and a column in it said "oil extraction", she tried to open it, and put the peanuts in it under the prompt, and after a while, there was fresh and mellow peanut oil output.
Oils and fats are very expensive in this era, animal fats are easy to obtain, but difficult to store, and the yield is very small, and the yield of vegetable oil is also very low because the pressing process does not meet the requirements.
Ordinary people can only eat vegetables fried with rapeseed oil during the New Year's holidays, and ordinary rapeseed oil still has a spicy taste that is difficult to remove, so you can't eat more.
She happened to pour peanut oil into the pot, Song Qingyuan came in with the washed vegetables, smelled the fragrance in the air, and asked, "What is so fragrant?" β
"You started to praise the fragrance before I even cooked my food, this sycophant." Wu Shuangbai glanced at him.
Song Qingyuan stepped forward, "You're still not happy when I come back, why didn't you say a word to me when you came in the door?" β
"You are a noble son now, how dare I talk about it." Wu Shuang deliberately choked him, but with a light smile on her face, her subordinates kept stir-frying the vegetables in the pot.
Song Qingyuan understood, "You must not be angry with me." β
"You're stupid, I'm too late to be happy that you're not falsely accused of being a pirate, why are you angry, are you angry that you're a rich boy? I don't have that hatred of the rich. Look at the good things you gave us, we can't use them for a year and a half, I'm hugging my golden thighs. β
The rising mist swirled between the two, and Song Qingyuan looked at the strand of hair that Wu Shuang slid down his cheeks, and couldn't help but reach out and flick it for her.
Wu Shuang felt touched at first glance, and subconsciously turned her head, and Song Qingyuan's fingers touched her skin.
The slippery/tender soft touch made Song Qingyuan stunned for a moment, and then withdrew his hand, pretending to cough to hide his embarrassment.
Wu Shuang forgot to turn over the dishes and almost messed up the pot, she kicked Song Qingyuan's calf, "Go out, cook a meal, what kind of mess are you making here, I would have locked the kitchen door if I knew it." β
