Ming Lanying looked back and saw that it was a little girl about thirteen years old, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and a set of old clothes washed to white, but clean and neat.

The little girl looked at them nervously, and Butcher Chen sighed, "Winter and summer girl, you see that my meat is not enough to sell, and I really can't give it to you on credit today, why don't you come back tomorrow?" I'll leave you some tomorrow. ”

Dong Xia lowered his head, grabbed the corners of his clothes with his hands restlessly, didn't walk or speak, Butcher Chen was helpless, Ming Lanying had a little impression of her in her memory.

"Are you...... Imperial Physician Zhao's granddaughter? ”

Dong Xia nodded unexpectedly, "It's me, Ming Niang is good." ”

Ming Lanying, who recognized the person, was in a complicated mood, and among the people who were exiled together with Ye Juelu, the oldest was Imperial Doctor Zhao, who was in his fifties.

Imperial Physician Zhao has only one son, and his son and daughter-in-law were involved in a case in the early years, and they should have been punished by the three clans, but Imperial Physician Zhao has excellent medical skills and is the most respected old imperial physician in Tai Hospital. The emperor was merciful and only beheaded the husband and wife, leaving a daughter Dong Xia, who depended on Imperial Physician Zhao for his life, and the grandson and grandson were exiled.

The conditions of the side plug are not good, Imperial Doctor Zhao is also old, and the two of them have had a hard time in the side stopper, and Ye Jielu often secretly helps them behind the back of the original owner.

"Ming Niangzi, can you also give me some meat? Today I have money! Dong Xia looked at her timidly, and carefully took out a dime of broken silver from his sleeve, "This silver...... Originally, Brother Ye forced it to me, I shouldn't have ...... like this."

Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows, thinking of the jar of good wound medicine that Ye Jielu brought back, I am afraid that it came from Imperial Doctor Zhao.

Dong Xia pinched the broken silver uneasily, "My grandfather said that as long as he was an old man, it was his duty to see a doctor, and he didn't charge money, but my grandfather was not in good health today, and I wanted to make up for my grandfather, so I took this broken silver behind his back......"

Dong Xia was afraid that she would mind being angry and that she would take back the silver, so she looked at Ming Lanying pitifully.

Ming Lanying sighed, Dongxia is a good child, and she can't be hard-hearted for such a good child, but her current money also has to be planned for the family, she really can't take care of her, and some small favors can still help.

"Dongxia, you go back with me to help me cook, I'll mix some of your meat, and I won't charge you money, you can keep this money for other use, okay?"

Dong Xia gratefully saluted her again and again, "Thank you Ming Niangzi, thank you Ming Niang!" ”

There was still some dry food left in the morning, and Ming Lanying warmed it up first to pad the stomachs of Dongxia and Ning'er, "Don't dislike it, pad the stomach first." ”

Dong Xia shook his head with emotion, "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, Ming Niangzi...... They used to speak ill of you, and I didn't help you......"

Ming Lanying rubbed her head, "It's okay, it's all in the past, you eat some first, I'll cook the meat, and I'll bring a big bowl back with you later." ”

"Thank you, Mrs. Ming!"

Although the bone broth and pork belly can not supplement calcium, but it is still possible to supplement some protein, the pork belly is just stewed with braised pork, the bone broth is boiled thoroughly, and it is not greasy.

It's done, just let Ning'er and Dongxia drink a bowl first, "Come to Dongxia and eat a bowl of meat first, I'll find a big bowl for you to pack." ”

Dong Xia hadn't eaten such fragrant meat for a long time, holding the bowl and moving to tears, Ning Er looked at Ming Lanying at a loss, Ming Lanying didn't expect it, helplessly and distressedly touched her little head, and also touched Ning Er's little head.

"Eat fast in winter and summer, it's too late to go back later, your grandfather is worried, Ning'er will eat quickly, will you send Sister Dongxia back with your mother later?"

Ning Er nodded obediently, and wiped her tears in Dong Xia, "If Ming Niangzi has anything to help in the future, just come to me, although I don't have any ability, it is better to see a doctor and take medicine, but Ming Niangzi just call me, I will go to the sword mountain and the sea of fire!" ”

"Hahahahaha...... A bowl of meat bought you? Then your grandfather has to hate me to death, if there is something I can call you Brother Ye, if there is meat to eat, I will call you. ”

Ming Lanying found a big bowl of soup and meat, and asked Ning Er to replace a basket of vegetables, "Let's go, we'll send you back, eat too much meat and fry two dishes to relieve your greasy." ”

Dong Xia didn't help her, she rubbed two bowls of meat in vain, and she was really embarrassed to ask for a basket of vegetables, "How embarrassing is this, no, no, no-"

"Okay, I know you also have vegetables at home, but I have a lot of vegetables, and if you don't eat it, it's a waste, so you can help me eat some, you are also growing your body, and you should eat more meat and vegetables."

Dong Xia has experienced so much at a young age, and she also understands that Ming Lanying is taking care of her, she hasn't felt this warmth for too long, and she is a mess of emotion.

"Thank you Ming Niangzi......"

When I arrived at Zhao Jiaming, Lanying found that the place where the grandparents and grandchildren lived was worse than her home, the thatched house was not warm in winter and not cool in summer, and it was crumbling when the wind was blowing, and I didn't know if it could withstand this year's snow.

"Grandfather, Ming Niangzi sent me back."

Imperial Physician Zhao is an upright person, he can see everything on his face, and he can see that he doesn't like Ming Lanying and disdains it, but he likes Ning Er very much.

Ming Lanying just can't see it, Imperial Doctor Zhao is in a very bad state now, only skin and bones are left in the thin and thin, and the hand holding the cane is shaky and unstable.

"Senior Zhao, I'm here to thank you for your old miracle medicine, I was scratched yesterday, and today it's much better, thank you."

Imperial Physician Zhao knocked on his crutches, "Ye Juelu, that bastard boy actually lied to me!" He also lied to me to ask for someone else, but it turned out to be for you! ”

Ming Lanying: "...... okay, I'm careless, I didn't expect her to be so disgusted by everyone, Ye Juelu didn't dare to say anything about buying medicine."

"I knew it was for you, so why waste my medicine!"

Ming Lanying: "......" I really can't answer your words for a while.

"Grandfather!" Dong Xia put down the bowl and helped Imperial Doctor Zhao to sit on the chair, "You can't explain the lady like this, other people's words can't be trusted, Ming Niangzi is the best person I've ever seen!" ”

Ming Lanying raised the sea bowl in her hand with a smile, "It's not wasted, I used your old medicine, and I'm here to repay your old favor today." ”

When Imperial Physician Zhao saw the meat in her bowl and the vegetables in her basket, he became even more angry, "You ruined woman! Ye Jielu has been miserable by you! ”

Ming Lanying: "...... "I'll shut up, feel free."

Seeing that she didn't speak, Imperial Doctor Zhao was also angry, "Don't speak!" I'm right! It's all you! ”

"Grandfather!" Dongxia was also forced by his grandfather, and he dared to speak loudly to his grandfather, "If you say this, I, I won't cook for you!" ”

"Okay, okay, it's okay." Ming Lanying patted Dong Xia funny, "What your grandfather said is right, it's just that there are hidden secrets in all these years, so I'll just make it clear to your grandfather." ”

Imperial Physician Zhao was stunned, "Don't bluff me, my old man is shrewd!" Not so easy to be fooled! “

"Yes, yes, you're smart." Ming Lanying thought about it carefully, and really thought of some questions, "My father's marriage of me to Ye Juelu was originally a misunderstanding, as long as he was a member of the princelings back then, anyone could stuff me in, just wanted to treat me as a fine worker." ”

Ming Lanying lied, her face was not red and her eyes were not blinking, three points of truth and seven points of falsehood, true and false were mixed and mixed, and she was full of confidence.

"I didn't want to do such a thing, so I deliberately made trouble with Ye Juelu, and everyone knew that he didn't like me, so that my father wouldn't let me do anything, at most he abandoned me." Ming Lanying pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes, "Actually, I have affection for Ye Jielu, it wasn't me back then, it would be my sister, my sister is smarter than me, she is more loved by her father, and she listens to her father more, what if she marries Ye Jielu and really hurts him?" ”

"I can't bear to be harmed by them, it's better for me to come, Ye Jielu doesn't like me, my father doesn't want me, so it's good for Ye Jielu."

Imperial Physician Zhao couldn't believe it, "You, you're really not bluffing me?" ”

Ming Lanying secretly pinched herself, her eyes were full of tears, and she felt sincerely, "Of course it's all the truth, I have really been a jewelry recently, and I want to live a good life with Ye Juelu." ”

Imperial Physician Zhao sighed deeply, "...... I don't believe your words, I'm going to ask Ye Juelu about this. ”

Ming Lanying: "Why did you ask him?" He didn't know any of that, and I didn't even dare to tell him......"

"I know, she's telling the truth." Ye Juelu suddenly appeared at the door, and the tall figure blocked half of the light, silently startling her.

After a stick of incense, Ming Lanying led Ning'er, Ye Jielu followed behind the two with empty Lanzi, and the family of three walked home slowly.

Ming Lanying: "Did you hear everything?" ”

"Hmm."

"Don't doubt me?"

"No, thank you for today."

Ye Jielu not only questioned her, but also thanked her, if he hadn't secretly followed her, Ming Lanying might really think he was good.

"No, not for you."

Ye Juelu: "......"

After arriving home, Ming Lanying found a new bed board and a pile of miscellaneous items on the table, and asked Ye Juelu in surprise, "Have you bought all your things?" ”

"Well, the kitchen knife will be ready tomorrow."

Ming Lanying commanded Ye Jielu to put things away, simply fried a green vegetable, and the family sat down and had dinner peacefully.

Ye Juelu consciously went to brush the dishes, Ning'er went to feed the little lambs, and Ming Lanying took advantage of the light to take out the fabric and cut and sew it. Two pieces of cloth, just two sets of Ye Jielu and Ning Er, the two sets are about to enter winter when they are changed, and they will have to change into new clothes after winter.

Ming Lanying sewed clothes while thinking about her thoughts, and rushed to make a set for Ye Jielu before falling asleep.

"Ye Juelu, go and try."

Ye Jielu was surprised to take the new clothes, and Ming Lanying touched Ning'er's little head, "Ning'er will also have new clothes tomorrow." ”

Ning Er happily hugged Ming Lanying's arm and shook it.

Before going to bed at night, Ye Jielu suddenly said to her: "There is something I want to ask you." ”

"You say." Ming Lanying yawned lazily, the room was not big, and the bed board that Ye Jielu slept on was far away, and the sudden extra breath around her made her a little uncomfortable, and she was finally about to fall asleep and was woken up by him.

"Imperial Doctor Zhao, if you can, I hope you can help me take care of it more, I was seriously injured a few years ago, if it weren't for him, I would have been dead for a long time, his old man has the grace of reinvention for me, and this time he was affected."

"Yes, Biansai is cold, and I can rest assured that he is a famous doctor." Ming Lanying yawned again, and tried to make her words clear, "Today's matter, what I said with Imperial Physician Zhao is not all lies, but don't worry, I am an outcast, I can't go back to the Ming family, and I won't go back, I will leave when there is a suitable opportunity in the future, and I will take Ning'er's words with me." ”

In the darkness, Ye Juelu's voice was slightly hoarse, "You are your grandfather's only granddaughter. ”

"So what, it's just a useless outcast, he can have many granddaughters." Ming Lanying sighed, "I know that Ning'er is your lifeline, but he is also my lifeline, if I leave, you can marry, but I don't worry about him falling into the hands of my stepmother." ”

Ye Jielu turned over, Ming Lanying couldn't hold back and was drowsy, "That's it, I'll talk about it in the future, anyway, I won't let Ning'er suffer a little grievance." ”

*

The next day, Ye Jielu put on new clothes, Ming Lanying turned over and woke up for a while, "There are leftovers from last night in the pot, you have eaten them, and I will make fresh ones for Ning'er." ”

Ye Juelu: "......"

yawned and fell asleep, Ye Jielu silently swept away the leftovers, took the dry food and went out.

Ming Lanying had only slept for a while when she was woken up by a slight knock on the door outside, "Woman! Lazy women, fat women, come out! ”

Listening to the sound of yesterday's little gray squirrel, Ming Lanying endured getting up, got out of bed lightly, squinted and went to the door, "Whoever is arguing will cut out someone's tongue!" ”

"You're terrible!"

The little gray squirrel climbed to the tree in the yard and looked at her from a distance, and Ming Lanying smoothed her hair with her hand.

"What are you doing here?"

The little gray squirrel jumped around on the branches of the tree in a rage, "Lord Golden Eagle King, let me tell you that the chicken you promised to send him yesterday was not delivered, and you broke your promise and got fat!" ”

"Oh." Ming Lanying put her hair in a bun, "So what, I was busy yesterday, and I couldn't bring it over, just after the chicken was bought, your right-hand man will bring it back later." ”

The little gray squirrel snorted coldly, "Lord Golden Eagle King said, you are a woman, don't care about you, let you bring it to him next time, the Lord also said, your medicine is very effective, the Lord will change places to recuperate, and I will come to you in person after a while." ”

"Uh-huh, okay."

"Why don't you look happy at all?"

Ming Lanying's face read with an expression: "No, I'm very happy, I wish the Golden Eagle King a speedy recovery." ”

"That's pretty much it." The little gray squirrel gestured to the sky, "Don't put it down yet!" ”

An eagle suddenly landed in the yard, grabbing a fat rabbit in its claws, as soon as the claws were released, the fat rabbit suddenly fled without his life, Ming Lanying's eyes widened, this thank you gift is fat enough, she likes it.

The gray little squirrel said proudly: "This is a return gift from the Golden Eagle King, and the adult also said, you are too fat, you must exercise well, otherwise you can't fly, and you can't follow the adults to dominate the world, it's your loss!" ”

The eagle also spoke: "The fattest rabbit I specially caught has a lot of meat and is lazy, and it can't run fast." ”

Ming Lanying: "......" I endure! Three months later, you're saying I'm fat, I'll pluck your skin and cramp stew!

Ming Lanying rolled up her sleeves, stared at the fat rabbit scurrying in the yard, and grabbed the rabbit with a hum, she shielded the rabbit's frightened wail for help, so that there was no softness in killing, and there was no burden in eating.

With her ability, if she is not so ruthless, she will only be a vegetarian for the rest of her life, and the way to survive in nature is to eat the strong. She is a human being, and she feels that she can't be a vegetarian for the rest of her life, so she can only reduce the harm of both parties, block the ability of spiritual and verbal communication, start quickly and accurately, let them go happily, revere the creatures, and respect the ingredients.

When Ning'er woke up, she saw her catching rabbits in the yard and happily joining the battle.

"Ning'er block it!"

"Ning'er scratches its ears, don't be afraid, my mother will make you spicy rabbit meat today."

"Ning'er be careful, don't fall."

When Ye Jielu came home at night, he saw that there was no light in the house from a distance, so he immediately quickened his pace and ran back. These days, he has become accustomed to having a lamp waiting for him to come home every night, and a fragrant and hot meal that he can eat when he goes back, and tonight there is no light, and he always feels that something has happened.

Gently pushed open the door, smelled the smell of meat in the air, heard the steady breathing of the mother, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

lit an oil lamp with a fire fold, and Ming Lanying woke up faintly, "You're back, the food is warm in the pot, you can eat it yourself." ”

She and Ning'er caught rabbits for most of the day today, both of them were very tired, she was too big to move, and she was injured everywhere, and her forehead was also broken, and her body was sore in the evening, and Ning'er had dinner first and rested in advance.

Ye Jielu's night vision was good, and when he saw the abrasions on her forehead, he frowned and asked, "What's wrong with your forehead?" ”

"There was a rabbit in the house today, and when I caught the rabbit, I bumped into it, and I peeled a whole rabbit skin, today is spicy rabbit meat, you hurry up and eat it."

Ye Juelu: "......"

After saying a few words, Ming Lanying was not so sleepy, turned over and sat up, and watched Ye Jielu eat. Today, I changed into new clothes, lined with wide shoulders and narrow waist, the spirit of the person, better looking, worthy of the clothes she made.

To be honest, Ye Jielu looks very good, and it is no wonder that Song Shanshan is bent on moths to fight fire. She has slept with such a good-looking man, although she has only slept with it once, and she has not been impressed, but it seems to be ...... Pretty cool?

Ming Lanying shook her head and threw out the messy thoughts, "Ye Jielu, you go tomorrow to see if there is any chaff for sale, and see what the price is, I want to build some bird's nests near the house to attract wild ducks to lay eggs." ”

Ye Jielu frowned slightly, "Whimsical." ”

Ming Lanying grinned, "Try it, it's okay to try, it's low-cost, and you can have some income." ”

It's autumn now, and the winter of Biansai is coming soon, she has to make some preparations, although it is not a good season to hatch eggs, but she has the help of the Golden Eagle King, and the fox and the tiger are strong and lured by some chaff, and the wild ducks will not refuse.

She actually thought about continuing to sell more people to get rich, but here is a mixed side plug, the gun shoots the first bird, Ye Jielu is not such a simple exiled person, she wants to live a good life, and a little wealth is peace.

You can try a wild duck farm at a low cost.

Ye Jielu agreed, as long as she took good care of Ning'er, he could cooperate with whimsically.

The next day, Ye Jielu inquired and told her that there was a big basket of grain bran for six yuan, and a duck could eat a basket of grain bran in a winter.

"You can try." Ming Lan Ying carefully calculated, "There are many wild ducks that do not need cost, keep them warm in winter, an egg should be fine in two or three days, and by the end of the year, we can also lay forty or fifty, leave ten for us to eat, and sell the rest, even if it costs two cents a piece, a duck can also get sixty to eighty wen, the more ducks, the more money, the little money of the chaff is not a matter, this is still a conservative estimate......"

Ye Jielu looked at her for a long time and didn't speak, Ming Lanying glanced at her suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

"I didn't know before, but you still know how to settle accounts."

"What's this, I'll do more than that." Ming Lanying smiled proudly, the hard work in her previous life, those gold-inlaid reputations are not false, and they will not just settle accounts.

Ye Juelu: "In the future, you will be the housekeeper." ”

Ming Lan Ying: "......"

This amount of money is really not rare for her, the amount of money she has in her previous life is nine tens of digits, and now it is only a few hundred taels of silver that really can't get into her eyes, but there is no now, it does not mean that there will be no in the future!

Ming Lanying was very attentive to this wild duck plan, and Ye Jielu also cooperated with her and bought three baskets of bran back.

Ming Lanying also went to find Dong Xia, "Dong Xia, you come to do me a favor, I'll take care of the food, there is meat!" ”

Imperial Doctor Zhao asked, Ming Lanying was not good at talking about this whimsical thing, so she lied and said that she wanted to learn from female red, and asked him to release her.

Imperial Physician Zhao snorted, "It should have been like this a long time ago, I hope you can stop your losses in time in the future." ”

"Yes, yes, I know, I'll definitely send you back winter and summer later."

Dong Xia wanted to defend Imperial Doctor Zhao for a few sentences, but Ming Lanying squeezed her hand to signal that it was okay.

Ming Lanying pulled Dongxia home and pointed to the ladder that Ye Jielu had just made in the morning, "Dongxia, do you dare to go up the tree?" ”

"Dare!" Dong Xia nodded decisively, "In the spring, I dare to climb trees and pick fruits without ladders." ”

She wrapped the black braids on both sides, rolled up her sleeves and was about to climb up the tree, Ming Lanying hurriedly grabbed her, "Slow down, slow down, I haven't finished yet, look at you in a hurry." ”

Dong Xia smiled embarrassedly, "I want to help Ming Niangzi so much." ”

Ming Lanying pinched her little face, "Don't worry, there is someone in the back who asks you to help, make back to the pot meat at noon today, you eat more, and only when you are full can you have the strength to work." ”

"Hmm!"

Ming Lanying told her her thoughts briefly, and Dong Xia said in surprise: "If this worked, others would have done it a long time ago...... Ming Niangzi, you told me like this, what if I leaked my mouth and others listened to it?! ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm sure you won't talk nonsense." Ming Lanying straightened the braids on both sides for her, "Besides, this matter also depends on luck, even if others learn it, they may not have luck to do it well, I am your big brother Ye is used to making trouble casually." ”

Dong Xia smiled innocently, "Brother Ye is so good to you." ”

The first time Ming Lanying was said like this, she was a little embarrassed, "Ahem, it's okay." ”

In winter and summer, the hands and feet are neat, and the Minglan warbler can't climb, so she makes a nest with branches, hay and rags below, and Ning'er also helps to pull the small branches, running around and being obedient.

In the evening, the two had already made more than 30 nests and put them on the tree, and Ming Lanying looked at the results on the tree with satisfaction.

At dinner, I stewed braised rabbit meat, fried sweet and sour pork, fried green vegetables, and even steamed rice, and packed them together to send them back in winter and summer.

Ming Lanying sent it to the door and left, but she didn't hear how Imperial Doctor Zhao jumped when she saw the food in the vegetable basket.

"You send her back! Look at the way she looks now, like she is living? She's here to be blessed! ”

Dong Xia set up the meal, frowned and looked at him disapprovingly, "Grandfather, Ming Niangzi herself is not willing to eat a bite, don't talk about her like this anymore, she feels sorry for Brother Ye and Ning Er to make these delicious foods, and also helped us, we can't look at her with the same eyes as before." ”

Imperial Physician Zhao snorted and didn't speak, Dong Xia stuffed the bowl to him, "Ming Niangzi rubbed her forehead yesterday, and today she is red and swollen, and her skin is broken, I want to ask you for some medicine but I don't dare to speak." ”

Imperial Physician Zhao took two mouthfuls of food, got up and walked out.

"Grandfather, where are you going?"

"Hmph, I'm going to dispense medicine for that unconscious one! You can hit the wall when you walk, so keep your eyes open and pant for breath! ”

Dong Xia hurriedly grabbed him, "Yes, yes, Ming Niangzi is also careless, you eat first and go to dispense medicine, if Ming Niangzi knows that you haven't eaten and goes to dispense medicine for her, she still doesn't dare to use it!" ”

Imperial Physician Zhao obediently ate before going to the pharmacy, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks in winter and summer, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile. Grandfather is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and his temper is stubborn, in the past, Brother Ye wanted to help, but he was too busy to take care of himself, and he went straight to the point, so his grandfather refused to accept it, and now that Ming Niangzi has become better, everything is slowly getting better.

Although Ye Jielu thought that Ming Lanying's idea was unreliable, after returning from the evening, he still seriously checked them one by one with a fire fold, moved and strengthened the unstable nests.

The little sparrow who loved to gossip and listened to the corner came, but this time they all knew that Minglan Ying could understand them, so they didn't dare to talk nonsense.

"It's called Ming Niangzi, right? Ming Niangzi, Ming Niangzi, Ming Niangzi ......"

"Ming Niangzi is benefiting the birds!"

"She is worthy of the woman that the Golden Eagle King has taken a fancy to! She is worthy of being the woman that the Golden Eagle King has taken a fancy to! ”

"Domination of the world! Eminence! ”

Ming Lan Ying: "...... Whoever is talking roasts whom. ”

Ye Juelu heard that she was headless and brainless and suddenly said, and looked at her suspiciously, "What did you say?" ”

"It's nothing, I'll go to sleep first."

Forget it, Ye Jielu is still here, you can't care about it, what kind of poison has this group of birds suffered, did the Golden Eagle King mix with a rebel thief before!

After Ming Lanying entered the house, Ye Jielu jumped down from the tree, and in the bushes outside the fence, a black shadow secretly lowered his voice, "Boss...... Did you find me, my wife? How, how is she more fierce than before! ”

I'm going to roast people!

"No, she's been like that lately." Ye Jielu checked the fence, "You go to the blacksmith shop for one night first, and I'll talk to you later." ”

"Okay, come quickly, don't be found out by your lady, it's too cruel, it's hard for you, boss......"

Ye Juelu: "......"
