The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

"arrive!"

A horse-drawn carriage slowly arrived at the gate of the village, and the village head was waiting at the door.

First, Sister Wei lifted the curtain and came out, followed by Song Shengfu who was helped out of the carriage.

"Let's go down the mountain and take in the scenery along the way."

As for going up the mountain, Song Shengfu said forget it.

My old bones can't stand any more hard work.

Kang Ge'er jumped out of the carriage behind him first and waited beside it.

"Xuandi, hurry up."

Xuan Ge'er fell asleep in the carriage. When he came out, his cheeks were red and his eyes were a little blurry.

"Brother, it's a bit hot."

"You just woke up, how could you not be hot? Let's go to the woods behind the mountain to play, it will be cool soon."

Mrs. Qiu, who was standing nearby, quickly spoke up, "Young Master, this won't work. The worst thing about summer is the alternating heat and cold. I'll take you to change clothes and dry your hair later, okay?"

Kang Ge'er saw Xuan Di's wet hair and nodded.

"Okay, it's almost noon, and it's the hottest time of the day. Let's just wait until tomorrow to go out and play."

Xuan Ge'er had already jumped down at this time, nodded and said okay.

"Come in quickly."

Song Shengfu turned around and urged the two children.

"Madam, lunch is ready."

Song Shengfu nodded to the head of the village, "Then let's serve the meal directly. The children are hungry."

She is hungry too.

Sister Wei supported her grandmother, and Song Shengfu looked at the child with a smile.

"Sister Wei, you hold grandma's hand. I can still walk without you holding me."

She took the hand that was supporting her arm in her own.

But after pulling for a while, I lost it.

It was too hot and the two of them started sweating after holding hands for a while.

Song Shengfu had someone specially prepare lunch in advance. Each person had a bowl of vegetarian noodles and some side dishes. They could add whatever they wanted and eat it after mixing it cold.

She still prefers this simpler way of eating, which is refreshing and satisfying.

All the children knew this way of eating. When they arrived at the dining hall, they took their bowls and started to pick up the dishes they liked.

Wei Jie'er and Xuan Ge'er don't like eating coriander (now called cilantro), so they both skipped it.

"I really don't understand you guys. Coriander is so delicious, and you don't like it?"

Kang Ge'er has no dietary restrictions and eats everything. He is the easiest person to feed in the Duan family.

Sister Wei wrinkled her nose slightly. She still didn't understand why anyone would like to eat coriander.

“I just don’t like the taste.”

Xuan Ge'er added some peanuts (also known as groundnuts, peas, and peanuts).

"Hahahaha, Kang Ge'er, coriander smells good to some people and stinks to others. Everyone's body constitution is different, so some people like it and some people hate it."

Song Shengfu took a sip of the sweet wine. It was chilled and tasted cool and comfortable!

"Then we should clear a piece of land and plant coriander. It's a pity that such a good thing can only be enjoyed by my grandmother and me."

It’s so delicious to have some of this while eating noodles.

Sister Wei looked at the vegetables sticking out of Kang Ge'er's bowl and couldn't even see the noodles underneath.

"This is so much, can you finish it? You'd better save some. You can always add more after you finish it. If you waste it, you can go wash the dishes for us."

Kang Ge'er hummed a little tune, added another spoonful of臊子 to himself, and then sat down with satisfaction.

"Don't worry, this is only enough to fill me up halfway. Next time, ask the kitchen staff to get a bigger bowl. I haven't even added much, but it's already full."

Sister Wei shook her head and looked at her bowl, which was only one-third of his.

Forget it, this is not the first time I know what kind of person my cousin is.

Xuan Ge'er was stirring vigorously. Mother Qiu wanted to go forward to help, but was stopped by Mother Lu.

Mother Qiu’s philosophy is to serve her brother well, so things like this must be done by her servants.

However, the old lady prefers to eat with her family at the table and doesn't like others busying around adding dishes.

"You guys should go down and eat too. Don't keep guarding here."

Song Shengfu sent the servants away from the hall. After they left, the servants who had already finished their meal came up to take their place.

"This sweet wine is a bit too sweet. Please change it to plum blossom wine."

Kang Ge'er took a sip and felt a little sick of it, so he just drank it all in one gulp.

Then he asked the person next to him to change the fermented rice wine for him.

Xuan Ge'er was squinting his eyes and sipping the wine in small sips. He was young, so I only poured him a little to satisfy his craving.

He likes sweet food, so he thinks this sweet wine is a divine product.

Looking at his brother, Xuan Ge'er was extremely envious. It’s great to grow up.

I can eat whatever I want, unlike him, who can't even have an extra snack.

Mother Qiu said that if you eat too much sweets, you will get worms in your teeth and they will eat away all your teeth.

As soon as Xuan Ge'er thought that there was a bug coiled inside his teeth, his whole body felt numb and goose bumps appeared.

He felt something moving inside his teeth, and Xuan Ge'er was so scared that he quickly sucked some noodles to calm himself down.

"Go to bed early tonight. We'll go to Qingyun Temple early tomorrow morning. Especially you, Kang'er, don't take Xuan'er out to play. If you go to bed late, you won't be able to get up tomorrow. I consulted a master, and if you go late tomorrow, you'll have bad luck this year."

A teacher is created out of nothing.

Song Shengfu lied with her eyes open, her expression unchanged.

The two boys are now studying in different places, and she can't bear to see how clingy they are when they are finally together.

You don’t have to guess, the two of them will play until late at night.

It’s better to study and not have to take care of children.

After Kang Ge finished the last bite, he stood up and added some more for himself.

The half-grown boy eats the poor old man.

I ate so much, but my stomach feels flat. Where did all the food go?

"I know, I know. I will definitely make sure that Brother Xuan goes to bed and wakes up early."

……

"Brother, get up, grandma is urging you."

Kang Ge'er couldn't open his eyes and turned over in a daze.

"Can I not..." go.

"no!"

"Hurry up and get up, or you'll be scolded."

Xuan'er let Mother Lu dress him. After fastening his collar, he saw his brother sitting and yawning, and urged him anxiously.

"Brother, change your clothes quickly."

Kang Ge'er woke up, got up from the bed and stretched his arms.

"I'll just put on a coat. Guess why I didn't change into my pajamas last night."

He knew he wouldn't be able to get up today, so he didn't even change his clothes last night and went to bed in his underwear.

Xuan Ge'er took a look and thought, forget it, let it be.

He thought his brother had forgotten, but he didn't expect it was all premeditated.

Kang Ge'er picked up his coat and put it on, and asked someone to tie his hair up. He was dressed in no time.

Fortunately, I caught up with him and got out of the house safely.

Seeing that the sun hadn't even risen yet, Kang Ge'er quietly complained to Xuan Ge'er, "Grandma is getting up earlier and earlier now. Doesn't she ever sleep in?"

Xuan Ge'er yawned slightly and shook his head.

"You little brat, I knew you were plotting against me."
