Chapter 142: Cancellation of Engagement
Lieyan hadn't walked with his master for some days and was very happy at this moment.
He lowered his head and drank water beside him.
The little ducks had never seen a horse of this color, and they swam over with a quack.
There were even some naughty ones who wanted to jump onto the flaming hooves.
The drought has caused the river water level to drop a lot, but at least it hasn't dried up completely.
The lives of the people in the village were not greatly affected.
Li Chi ran over breathlessly, "Master, it's done."
"A farmer is willing to rent the yard to us."
"Let's go and eat!" Murong Yue threw all the tortillas in her hand into the river, and the ducks quacked and gathered around to grab the food.
She likes to eat at the farm.
There are three different flavors of food in the palace, food in the city, and food in the village.
But she felt that she felt more happy when eating in the farm.
There are probably only seventy or eighty households in the village. When they heard that there were outsiders coming, they were all very curious.
Especially now that it is the busy farming season and attendance at the school is not compulsory, many children gathered around.
"Wow, this horse is so tall!"
“How majestic!”
"Sister, you are so beautiful!"
Good, good, good. Murong Yue felt that she had fallen. The happiness of others wishing her a long life was not as great as the happiness of others praising her for being beautiful.
He raised his hand and gave a bag of beautiful candies to the children.
When we arrived at this yard, we saw that the owner was an old lady and her son.
The two of them stood at the gate of the yard, very awkwardly greeting the few people.
After seeing these people who looked powerful but were easy to talk to, the old lady finally relaxed.
"Girl, you are so pretty."
"You must be tired. Take a rest."
"Daniu, go boil some water."
The old lady kicked her son.
The young man was about twenty-one or twenty-two years old, tanned from years of working, with a pair of big, naive eyes.
With a red face, he went to boil water.
Ah Hao took the initiative to step forward and stopped Daniu with a smile, "Grandma, it's okay. I brought a lot of people with me. Just let them do the work."
When they first lived in the village, there were only her, Qi Yuan and Li Chi.
There is no other way but to let the owner do it himself.
It’s best to do the work by yourself now, which is safer.
The two plainclothes guards rushed into the kitchen without saying a word, and soon smoke began to rise from the chimney.
The old lady kicked Daniu again and said, "Go kill two chickens, and then go to the river to catch two fish."
"Ah."
Daniu's face turned red again.
Grandma picked a large basket of wild vegetables from the vegetable garden in front of her house.
With so many people, we have to cook more food.
When Li Chi came to the village to look for a place to live, no one was willing to lend him a place, so it was the old lady who took the initiative to step forward.
"When the old man was still alive, he went to the south to escort the convoy. When he went out, he relied on others to help him."
"You are such a pitiful child."
"Come live at my house."
It's a drought this year and food rations are scarce. Although the water control order is not strictly enforced here, there are so many new people at home and they have to use water.
Others laugh at the old lady for being stupid.
Let’s just laugh it off, Qi Yuan gave Li Chi ten taels of silver as compensation for accommodation.
But this cannot be given in front of others.
So as not to bring unnecessary trouble to the host family.
That’s why Li Chi stuffed the silver into the old lady’s hand just now.
The old lady tried to refuse, "It's not easy to go out, you are all still children."
"How much can you eat?"
Li Chi smiled and stuffed the silver into the old lady's hand, "Auntie, just take it."
"We have a lot of people, so we really eat a lot."
"Daniu hasn't found a wife yet, right? He needs money everywhere, so please don't be polite."
The old lady then accepted it and started to look for food for Murong Yue and his group, paying more attention to it.
The accompanying imperial physician watched the old lady working, unable to stretch out her left hand, and gritted her teeth to endure the pain from time to time.
I took the initiative to step forward and ask what was going on.
"Oh, this is an old problem of mine."
"Then let me take a look at you. I'm a doctor," the imperial physician smiled and took out a hand pillow to check the old lady's pulse.
"I'm too old to do that, I don't think so..."
The old lady said this, but her hands were still honest and rested on the armrest.
The imperial physician knew what was going on just by feeling your pulse. "You caught a cold when you were young. I'll prescribe a prescription for you."
"Go to town and get some medicine and take it for a few days."
"Don't worry, it won't cost a dime."
The imperial physician was not unaware of the sufferings of the people. He knew that many ordinary people could not afford medical treatment, so he chose cheap medicines when prescribing.
Although the effect is slower, it is cheaper.
"Thank you, you are such nice people."
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the gate of the courtyard, "Li Daniu! Come out!"
"I want to break off the engagement!"
Ok?
Murong Yue stretched her neck to look outside, there was something exciting to watch again, hehe.
Standing outside the door were a fat girl in a floral top and an old lady.
The old lady pinched her waist and said, "It's already this bad year, and you still invite outsiders to eat at home. I heard that there are quite a few people. In one day, won't all the food you have stored be eaten up?"
"What does this mean?"
"Are you asking my daughter to marry here and live in poverty?"
The old lady looked embarrassed and put down the work in her hands, "Then you guys sit down first, I'll go out and take a look."
The old lady walked quickly to the front door and said, "Zhang Cuihua, what do you mean by this? My family is poor, but we won't let your daughter starve."
"You have no evidence to prove your words, so why don't you take out the food you have stored at home?"
"...This year the imperial court has ordered us to grow sweet potatoes, so where can we get the food?" The old lady was speechless.
"Haha, you've given me the lowdown, haven't you? Didn't they say the bride price was 10 dan of coarse grains, 2 dan of fine grains, and 50 jin of pork?"
"Where's the food?"
"Everyone come and take a look. Li Daniu's family obviously has no food, but they are pretending to be rich and entertaining tourists."
"All the betrothal gifts for my son's marriage were lost."
"No, Zhang's, you're exaggerating. I saw the guests, and there were only about ten of them. How could they eat so much food?" the villagers couldn't stand it anymore.
"That's right. Your daughter is such a big eater. It's a good thing that she married Li Daniu."
The fat girl also said, "What's wrong with me eating it? Am I eating your rice?"
"No, it's a blessing to be able to eat, but you can't... Oh! Let's find the village chief!" The villagers couldn't argue with this unreasonable person.
These are obviously two different things.
Being able to eat it doesn’t matter. The key is that you can’t slander people.
Murong Yue was listening to the excitement inside.
Li Chi asked Qi Yuan, "Do you want me to go out and explain?"
This matter is also related to them.
Qi Yuan stopped him.
He had some understanding of Murong Yue. His Majesty just wanted to watch the fun and see how the village chief would resolve the problem.
Soon, the village chief came with his men.
Zhang Cuihua spoke first, "Village Chief, the Li family is just trying to be rich. My daughter will definitely suffer if she marries them."
"We don't want to marry into this kind of family."
Granny Li also understood, "Aunt Cuihua, are you just looking for a reason to cancel the engagement?"
"My family entertains tourists passing by, which is considered as helping. There is no possibility that they eat up all our food."
"If you don't like my family, why did you ask a matchmaker to propose marriage?"
