Traveled to ancient times and became a cheap little dad

The two chatted. There were fewer walnuts and chestnuts on the mountain after the New Year. Many of them were picked by other villagers. The harvest was poor. Jiang Yun was a little discouraged. "Xiao Ziyi, why can't I see any walnuts?"

"We are late." Xiao Ziyi waved a stick in front of him, "There are many people in this village, and they are not stupid."

"What should I do? I still want to eat walnut cake."

"You should eat something to nourish your brain, hahaha."

"Xiao Ziyi!!! How dare you call me stupid?" Jiang Yun yelled and took a few quick steps to pounce on him.

As a result, he stepped on a leaf and slipped. Xiao Ziyi was worried about him and rushed over to catch him. The two of them fell and hugged each other and rolled twice. After they stopped, Xiao Ziyi took away the hand that was protecting Jiang Yun's head and carefully checked his condition, "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

Jiang Yun looked up at him with lingering fear and shook her head, "It's okay, are you okay?"

"I am fine."

Xiao Ziyi helped him sit up, took off the leaves on his head, and chuckled, "Add a few more leaves, and it will become a bird's nest."

Jiang Yun got up and brushed off the grass and dust on her body, pouting a little unhappily.

After coming out for a while, I found nothing and even fell down. “Oh, stop playing. Let’s go back. I don’t want to look for walnuts anymore.”

"Okay, get on, I'll carry you." Xiao Ziyi helped him straighten his clothes, walked to the front, half squatted, and patted his back.

"Can you do it? I'll crush you again."

"With your small body, I can still carry you even if you weigh ten pounds more."

Hearing this, Jiang Yun finally smiled and tiptoed onto his back. Xiao Ziyi held his legs and pushed them up, "Xiao Yun, you seem to be thinner than before."

Jiang Yun tilted her head and looked at him. "Grandpa gave me some tonic medicine a few days ago, but it was so bitter that I didn't want to eat."

"But I feel much better and don't get tired as easily as before."

Xiao Ziyi smiled and continued walking forward, "That's right, Doctor Xue's reputation is not for nothing."

"Xiao Yun, have you ever thought about what to do if A Rong asks us for walnuts when we get back? He has already found the sugar."

"Oh, that's right. Ah, I see." Jiang Yun's eyes rolled and she thought of a good idea. "Why don't we go to the farm and buy two kilograms of walnuts?"

Xiao Ziyi nodded, "That's a good idea. Do you have any money with you?"

"No, did you bring it?"

"Did not bring."

Jiang Yun hugged Xiao Ziyi's neck, rested her cheek on his back, sighed, and suddenly exclaimed, "I have an idea."

"I'll mortgage you to someone later, and then I'll go back and get the money to redeem you."

"..."

Xiao Ziyi was very upset, "Then how many kilograms of walnuts am I worth?"

"Three pounds should be enough. I can't eat more than that." He tilted his head and thought about it, looking quite serious.

Xiao Ziyi let out a weird cry, almost being tricked, "Okay, that's not right, why don't you just be mortgaged? I'll go back and get the money to redeem you."

"Hehe, Brother Xiao is more valuable. Brother Xiao is strong and healthy, much better than a weakling like me."

"Oh~ Then how many kilograms of walnuts can you buy?"

Jiang Yun held up three fingers, looking very serious, "Two kilograms, at most two kilograms, definitely lower than Brother Xiao."

"Let's go, let's change and go home."

"whee,,,"

The two had a good plan, but they didn't put it into practice in the end because as soon as they entered the manor, they ran into Jiang Rong and A Sheng who came to greet them.

Jiang Rong thought Jiang Yun was injured, so he ran forward to check, and was relieved only after making sure that she was okay.

Jiang Yun came down and walked by herself, saying with a bitter face, "Brother, you should wait for us at home, otherwise we will exchange the walnuts back."

Then he talked about the good idea he had finally come up with, and Ah Sheng laughed at him without giving him face. He stopped laughing after Jiang Rong glared at him, "Arong, the candies are all ready. Don't waste them. Wait, I'll go buy some walnuts."

Jiang Yun and Xiao Ziyi smiled at each other, "Thank you, Brother Sheng."

Jiang Rong smiled and took his hand, "Let's go home and change clothes. You've become a little cat."

The two of them walked in front hand in hand, talking and laughing. Xiao Ziyi's eyes moved slightly, and he followed with a smile.

They just didn't notice that someone was watching them from a distance.

Ah Sheng was walking back with half a bag of walnuts. When he saw the people outside the courtyard, he was startled and knelt on one knee, "Your Highness."

The sound was not loud and did not alarm the people in the courtyard.

Jing Zhou glanced at him, recognized him, and looked at the bag on the ground. Ah Sheng lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, the young master wants to eat walnut cakes, so I went to the farmer's house to buy some."

"I saw him being carried down the mountain. Did something happen?" When he heard that Jiang Yun had left the capital, he thought he had gone to Yangzhou. After asking carefully, he found out that he had come to a courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing. For some unknown reason, Jing Zhou followed him.

"In reply to the emperor, the young master is fine."

Ah Sheng did not smell blood, and estimated that the guards guarding in secret should be safe. They naturally did not dare to attack the emperor directly, and the emperor did not seem to want to snatch people.

Then he told her about how Jiang Yun had just gone up the mountain but failed to pick any walnuts, and wanted to exchange them for walnuts with Xiao Ziyi.

Jing Zhou looked through the crack in the door and saw Jiang Yun coming out after changing clothes. He couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "This little devil."

",,,"

Ah Sheng lowered his head even lower, his hands clenched into fists under his sleeves. It seemed that he had guessed wrong just now. The tone of this person who was blatantly flirting with a decent man did not seem like that of a good person.

Can he protect people?

At this time, the sound of a piano came from the courtyard, followed by the voice of Jiang Yun singing. The lyrics were ones they had never heard of before, but they had a unique flavor.

Seeing Jiang Yun holding some kind of musical instrument in her arms, with her head tilted slightly, a smile on her face, and singing a cappella song, Jing Zhou's eyes softened, "Don't worry, your people are fine."

These words seemed to be spoken to himself, but they made Ah Sheng secretly relieved.

"Go in, don't make him wait anxiously, and don't tell him that I'm here."

Having escaped a disaster, Ah Sheng did not dare to relax. He stood up after paying his respects, but kept his head down. "Thank you, Your Majesty,"

Jing Zhou slipped into the yard but was not in a hurry to leave. Seeing Jiang Yun's eyes light up when she saw the walnuts and a bright smile on her face, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.

"Li Quan, what song is he singing?"

"I don't know."

Li Quan thought Jiang Yun was doing fine, but was suddenly called out and was shocked. "Young lady is smart and can always do things that others can't do. Maybe it was the young lady who came up with it herself."

"He is indeed smart. His little head has a lot of weird ideas every day." Jing Zhou touched the ring on his little finger, the smile on his lips did not diminish.

"Add a walnut cake tonight." After saying that, he turned and left.

"Yes,"

Li Quan took another look at the courtyard and then quickly followed.
