Chapter 170 Hope is shattered
This time I came to see each other, except for the wives and Li Yuzhu, the other little girls didn't know that today was mainly for the purpose of seeing each other.

At this time, two strange men squeezed into their pavilion and invited them to eat snacks, and suddenly the little girls became wary of them.

Faced with their vigilant eyes, Yuan Rongcheng still kept a smile on his face, which made people feel like spring breeze.

But he seemed to have underestimated these little girls, they had all heard the story about Grandma Wolf told by Xia Jing.

At this time, Yuan Rongcheng's smiling face was like a wolf grandma who had no good intentions in their eyes.

The corner of Yuan's second child's mouth twitched as he sat by and watched. These little girls are like little ghosts. If they are bad people, is there any need to lie to them?

It's easier to kidnap directly!
Yuan Rongcheng was a little embarrassed. This was the first time he encountered such a situation. Before in Jingzhou City, no one knew him, and everyone who was invited by him would come over happily.

The face that was always invincible before, has failed this time!

He coughed lightly and glanced at Li Yuzhu.

Seeing Li Yuzhu looking at him intently, if it weren't for the slightly raised corners of her mouth, Yuan Rongcheng really couldn't see that she was taking pleasure in other's misfortune and deliberately looking at him to make a fool of herself.

"That... I am the third son of the Yuan family in Jingzhou, not a liar!"

The little girls were skeptical, and turned to look at Li Yuzhu, the oldest among them.

Facing the questioning eyes of his younger sisters, Li Yuzhu pursed his lower lip and said to Yuan Rongcheng, "My younger sisters don't know how to eat food given by strangers, so please forgive me, Third Master Yuan."

Seeing Li Yuzhu's refusal, Li Yingzi, who came to offer incense with her grandmother this time, also asked, "May I ask, why do you two big men like to bring snacks when you come to the temple to offer incense? Is this a tradition for men in Jingzhou?"

She is Sister Xia's little girl, she has just reached the age of cardamom this year, and she is a little younger than Li Yuzhu, and the family will help her to see her in a year or two.

Taking advantage of this time to follow, let's get to know the virtues of men in Jingzhou?
This time, the corner of Yuan Rongcheng's mouth twitched. Could he say that the snacks he brought up this time were specially prepared for them?

However, the little girl's question was very tricky, and no matter how he answered it seemed a bit wrong.

"What? Is it difficult for me to answer this question?" Li Yingzi stared at them with her big round eyes.

"No, it's just this question, I'm a little hard to answer." Yuan Rongcheng said, he thought about the little girl and asked again, and he told the truth, saying that he wanted to please the girl who was looking at him.

"Forget it, everyone has their own secrets. Since you don't want to tell them, we won't ask them. However, we don't eat snacks. We brought a lot with us."

After Li Yingzi finished speaking, she clapped her palms, and a maid came over with a food box.

Yuan Rongcheng: "."

Li Yingzi's tugging look made the eyes of the second son of the Yuan family shine, but he only glanced at the little girl's immature face, and he sighed regretfully in his heart.

I really shouldn't marry a wife early!
Now I don't know how many colorful Xiaojiao flowers I missed.

The second son of the Yuan family showed a little restlessness, which was felt by Yuan Rongcheng, who was always paying attention to him.

He kicked lightly and calmly.

The second son of the Yuan family glanced at his younger brother, and immediately corrected his attitude.

It is hot in Lingnan. Even in the mountains, the temperature is very high at noon. Sitting in the pavilion can still feel the heat. This kind of hot wind blows on the skin, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

I have met Mr. Yuan's family, and my first impression of him was not bad. Seeing Mr. Yuan's speechless by Yingzi, Li Yuzhu stood up and said, "It's been so long since I came out. It's hot, let's go back, lest the elders worry."

When a group of little girls walked away, the second child of Yuan's family pointed at their backs and said, "Leave now? I thought they would have to drink three cups with each other to get to know each other after seeing us two young talents."

After hearing what he said, Yuan Rongcheng glared at him: "Don't compare them with the girls from the brothel Chuguan!"

The second son of the Yuan family defended: "Hey, I didn't compare them with the girls from that place. When I met your second sister-in-law, she was very proactive."

"So the consequence of doing this is that you don't cherish your second sister-in-law at all now!" Yuan Rongcheng's words are too heartbreaking, but they are true.

When the girls returned to the guest house, the second wife saw the smile on her daughter's face at first glance, and knew that the meeting was going well, and her heart that she had been carrying all along also fell down.

Xia Jing smiled, and asked with a pun, "How are you playing?"

Li Yuzhu smiled and nodded: "The scenery around the temple is beautiful!"

Li Yingzi sat next to her grandmother Chen, and after hearing what they said, she replied: "The scenery is beautiful, but there are also people who spoil the scenery!"

This aroused the interest of everyone in the room.

The second lady wanted to know what happened after they went out, so she followed Li Yingzi's words and asked, "Oh, what kind of person?"

Li Yingzi explained the inexplicable behavior of the two sons of the Yuan family.

It made everyone laugh.

The second lady glanced at Xia Jing gratefully. Seeing this kind of thing, it is not appropriate to talk about it until it is successful. She is very grateful that Xia Jing didn't gossip about it in front of Xia's family.

An iron mine in the Nanling Mountains, where the miners open their eyes every day until the sun goes down, and they are busy everywhere on the mine.

The few Xiyi people captured last time, from being able to proudly raise their necks and refuse to work at the beginning, to working hard every day to complete the tasks assigned to them and receive enough food.

Struggling on the verge of hunger every day, but every time I can't achieve my wish.

After working in the mine for several months, even if their relatives came, they might not be able to recognize them by their appearance.

His body is emaciated, his shoulders are hunched, especially his hands, which used to be white and tender, but now they are thick and calloused, and they are full of scars.

Compared with before, they are simply different people.

After a busy morning, the hungry miners could finally sit down to eat and rest.

In the simple hut on the mine, the team leader of the No. 20 second group looked at the Xiyi people in his group, and said with disgust: "You Xiyi look at the tall and big people, but you don't like them." Use it, how long has it been here, and it has become this kind of virtue!"

While talking, he shook his head.

The worker sitting next to the team leader took a sip of gruel, shook his head, and took up the conversation: "That is, they are a head taller than us, so they can't pull as much as a short donkey!"

The team leader blinked, always feeling that the words just now were a bit harsh, but he couldn't find anything wrong for a while.

Several Xiyi people get along with the miners in the mine day and night, and they can still understand a little of the simple local dialect.

Now after hearing what they said, the Xiyi people turned their heads and glared at him: "You are the deer!"

"Haha!" The worker was stunned by him, smiled instead of angry, and corrected: "It's a donkey, not a deer! They are so stupid that they can't tell the difference between a donkey and a deer, no wonder they were caught up the mountain to mine!"

The group leader shook his head: "You guys are here to make up the numbers, and I was unlucky enough to let you all be assigned to my group, so it's a drag!"

Bai has a tall and burly figure, but he can't bear hardships and stand hard work at all. If you ask him to say that this white-skinned and red-haired race is a waste of food.

They were disgusted at noon, and several Xiyi people hoped that their governor would find out that they were missing in time and come to rescue them.

It's just that day and night hope finally brings people here, but they find that the reality is cruel.

Their governor is here, but he was escorted here, just like them, escorted here to mine!

The last straw was broken, and the Xiyi fell into despair.

Don't even think about getting out of this mine alive in this life!
Qian Wangfu.

Li Yuzhu felt uneasy from the heat.

Even if there are many ice basins in the room, it can't calm her down.

"Miss, ma'am!"

The personal servant girl ran in from outside panting, and said excitedly: "Miss, a letter from Mr. Yuan!"

"Oh, bring it here and show me." Li Yuzhu looked indifferent, as if this letter was nothing special in her eyes.

It made the personal servant girl a little confused for a moment what was going on in her mind?
Li Yuzhu took the letter, saw that the sealing wax was intact, opened the letter and slowly unfolded it.

"Miss, what did Mr. Yuan say in the letter? Didn't he say that he wanted to eat the horseshoe cake you made?"

Since the last time we met at Hualin Temple, Third Master Yuan has sent letters to Li Yuzhu several times.

As the two became more and more familiar, Third Young Master Yuan would write about his hobbies in the letter.

When Li Yuzhu knew that the third son of Yuan came to Lingnan and fell in love with horseshoe cakes, she went into the kitchen and personally supervised the cook to make horseshoe cakes, and sent them to the post house.

Li Yuzhu folded the letter, smiled and shook her head: "Young Master Yuan didn't mention horseshoe cake, this time he wrote the letter to invite me to go shopping tomorrow."

"A date!" The servant girl was overjoyed: "Miss, this is good, it can not only deepen your relationship with Mr. Yuan, but also go out to play, how wonderful!"

"But, I don't know if mother will agree?" Li Yuzhu put the letter in the wooden box and put it away.

"Madam will definitely agree." The servant girl said firmly.

Sure enough, as the servant girl guessed, when the second lady heard that the third son Yuan asked her daughter to go shopping, she knew without thinking that they wanted to get to know each other better, so she agreed without even thinking about it.

The next day, the little girl, who is usually calm, became excited and nervous.

"Don't dress too gaudy, be more elegant." Li Yuzhu reminded the servant girl while sitting in front of the dressing table.

"Miss, don't worry, even if you dress up in a simple and elegant way, you are the most beautiful girl in the whole city!"

Li Yuzhu looked at the beautiful face in the mirror, smiled and let her go.

Which girl is not pregnant?
Those who are not pregnant are women who have gone through thousands of sails!
Although Li Yuzhu is a royal girl, this is the first time she has contact with a foreigner, and it is rare for a sensible girl to have expectations for her future husband.

After the master and servant got into the carriage and left the mansion, Li Yuzhu realized that they seemed to have come out too early.

"I don't think Mr. Yuan San will come out so early. Chun'er, tell the coachman to find a teahouse. Let's have breakfast first." Li Yuzhu looked annoyedly at the street in the early morning.

"Yes."

The meals in the tea house are much more varied than a few months ago.

Strictly speaking, this credit belongs to Xia Jing.

Back then, Xia Jing used yeast powder to ferment flour to make steamed buns. She taught the cook, who then passed on this skill to her family.

Family members passed it on to relatives. Slowly, people in the whole of Lingnan will use the local method to make yeast powder, draw inferences from one instance, and make various delicacies in different ways.

Li Yuzhu ordered white porridge, steamed buns, an egg, and a pickle.

As for the maids and guards who came out with her, they can eat whatever they want.

This breakfast is not much, but it is delicious, enough for a little girl like her to fill her stomach.

"Miss Yuzhu, do you mind if I share breakfast with you?"

The voice sounded familiar, Li Yuzhu raised her head, surprise flashed across her eyes, "Master Yuan, what a coincidence."

Yuan Rongcheng didn't miss the joy in her eyes, and he was very pleased, which showed that the little girl cared about him and didn't hate him.

In this way, the task assigned by the family will be done with confidence.

"It's due to fate, Miss Yuzhu and I are separated by thousands of miles, so we know each other." Yuan Rongcheng knocked on the folding fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "There is a saying about our fate, I wonder if Miss Yuzhu has heard of it?"

"What?" Li Yuzhu's curiosity was aroused.

"If you are destined to meet thousands of miles away, if you don't have the opportunity to meet each other face to face."

Li Yuzhu said it silently in her heart, don't say it, isn't this about the current situation of the two of them?

Immediately, the look in Yuan Rongcheng's eyes was a little different.

"Sir Yuan, please sit down."

"Thank you Miss Yuzhu." Yuan Rongcheng glanced at the breakfast in front of her, "Young lady's family, you can't afford to eat, let Xiaoer serve you another cup of ginseng and black chicken soup, this will nourish your body."

Li Yuzhu didn't expect the third son Yuan to be so careful, and it was impossible not to be moved in his heart.

Although there is no shortage of nourishing soup in the palace, it is sweeter than eating honey to get the care of the fiancé-to-be.

Yuan Rongcheng saw that the little girl was moved, and the smile on his face became brighter, "Why don't you talk, why is it uncomfortable?"

Li Yuzhu came back to her senses, and shook her head: "I'm fine, I just thought of something, I was a little distracted, if there is something rude, don't take it off."

"It's okay, who can have nothing to worry about." Yuan Rongcheng smiled indifferently.

Seeing this scene, Chun'er's servant girl almost moved herself, you see how considerate my uncle is in the future!Miss will be very happy to marry him in the future.

Afterwards, the two asked and answered questions, trying to talk about topics that both of them were interested in.

Yuan Rongcheng took a bite of the steamed bun, "When I didn't come to Lingnan, to be honest, I thought this was a barbaric and uneducated place."

Li Yuzhu stopped eating, looked at him and asked, "What about after that?"

Yuan Rongcheng: "After I came here, I realized that I was ignorant before. The food in Lingnan is overwhelming. This is the first time I have eaten such a small steamed bun. Especially when my second brother came to Lingnan, he was a little bit reluctant to leave."

After hearing what he said, Li Yuzhu couldn't help showing a knowing smile.

Lingnan was not as prosperous as it is now, and the streets were not as tidy as it is now.

All the current changes are the result of the hard work of everyone in the palace.

Of course, everyone in the palace refers to all the servants in the palace, soldiers outside, and officials, all of whom have benefited from the palace.

Li Yuzhu: "In the future, the delicacies in Lingnan will become more and more abundant. If the third and second sons of Yuan have time in the future, they can come to Lingnan to taste the delicacies."

"Definitely!" Yuan Rongcheng nodded, if he married a girl from the palace, he would have to come to Lingnan more to walk around.
