Transmigrated Little Farm Girl Bringing Great Fortune
Chapter 121 Self-inflicted evil
On the table.
Steaming hot, the aroma of mutton fills the air.
Stewed mutton, roasted mutton, braised mutton...
A proper lamb feast!
People in Daqing especially love to eat mutton, and it is said that they almost ate sheep to extinction.
The emperor and his concubines were all fans of mutton.
There was a saying among the nobility that "sheep are noble and pigs are lowly," because they believed that pork was greasy and grown in poor conditions, while mutton was warm and highly nourishing, with medicinal value comparable to ginseng.
As for cattle, horses, and donkeys, they are used for fighting, farming, and hauling goods; slaughtering them at will will result in legal trouble.
Furthermore, sheep are gentle in nature, and wealthy families use them to entertain guests as a sign of goodwill.
This is very much in line with the style of Daqing literati.
So, Jiang Miaomiao's family started selling sheep again.
The breed introduced is a special one called the Hu sheep.
Unlike the local goats in the south, these lake sheep are northern sheep that have grown up eating southern water plants.
It can be said to be a sheep breed that combines the characteristics of both northern and southern breeds, with a mild muttony smell and tender, succulent meat.
It is said that an emperor fled to Jiangnan and couldn't live without mutton for every meal, but he was not used to the muttony smell of the south.
They then began raising northern sheep in the south.
This led to the development of the lake sheep.
Lu Qingyao felt that the area around the capital city was where the most high-ranking officials and wealthy families lived.
The daily consumption of mutton is immeasurable.
The mutton consumed by northerners was mostly purchased from nomadic peoples in the northwest, but the northern border was often disturbed by war, making the mutton supply extremely unstable.
With the north-south trade routes now open, Lu Qingyao had quietly introduced a batch of Hu sheep at the beginning of the year.
Naturally, these sheep were supplied to Yipinju.
As the second owner of Yipinju Restaurant, I'm here today with a mission: to savor the taste of this batch of lake sheep.
Lu Qingyao and her son came from the north, but had lived in the south for a period of time, and were of noble birth.
He also understands the nobility best.
The valuable opinions of this mother and son are indispensable in making this mutton feast popular throughout the north and south.
Just as they were enjoying the tasting, they suddenly heard Xiuxiu exclaim in surprise, "Where's Miaomiao? Where did Miaomiao go?"
The little baby had eaten and drunk his fill and was just taking a nap on the tatami mat.
Now there's only one pillow left.
The naughty little guy...
The group began searching everywhere, which also alerted Sun Yanshu's family.
Jiang Zijin, who had been resting on the couch with the curtains drawn, secretly went downstairs and headed to the backyard.
It was mealtime, and there were hardly any people in the backyard.
They hid and didn't encounter anyone along the way.
Beside the pond is a dense bamboo grove, still lush and green even in the cold winter.
It is very suitable for Tibetans.
Jiang Zijin planned to hide in the bamboo forest for a while and quietly return to the house when things got chaotic.
Unconsciously.
She didn't intend to rely on others because she felt that Granny Gong's spies had infiltrated her circle.
She vaguely remembered that in her previous life, after Jiang Miaomiao passed away, Lu Shi and her two older brothers were not in good condition.
This made them uneasy and lowered their guard, leading to an ambush and their instant death...
So the key lies in that little baby.
Then, defeat them one by one!
A child is a mother's life; this is the experience she has gained from living two lifetimes.
It can drive a mother to distraction, loss of will to fight, and even madness...
Just like the concubines in the palace who lost their children.
Originally, it was just the loss of one child, which could be remedied by having another. Instead, she went to the emperor in a disheveled state to ask for his help, even going so far as to contradict him.
As a result, she fell out of favor, went insane, and was sent to the cold palace...
Jiang Zijin tiptoed to the bamboo grove behind Jiang Miaomiao.
Looking around, there was no one there, and no one would come looking for him anytime soon.
The little girl was intently sprinkling things into the water, muttering to herself.
"Fish, fish, come and eat... come and eat... don't grab it..."
The fish that had eaten their fill gradually dispersed, while the fish that hadn't eaten swam over from a distance.
Jiang Zijin observed for a while and, seeing that the light had dimmed, quickly walked towards Jiang Miaomiao against the light.
He lunged forward with all his might...
"thump……"
Someone fell into the water.
Huge splashes of water rose from the lake.
A little red bird was chirping in the tree, its calls sounding somewhat hurried.
Jiang Miaomiao stood up and took a few steps back, staring blankly at the people struggling in the water.
Patting his chest, he exclaimed, "You scared me to death... You scared me to death..."
Jiang Zijin bobbed up and down in the water, shouting, "Help...help..."
As a result, I swallowed a few mouthfuls of water and vaguely saw a small figure standing quietly on the shore, not moving.
It's not dark yet.
At this moment, Yipinju was brightly lit.
Lu Qingyao and Xiuxiu scaled the rooftops and stepped on the tiles to reach the highest point of the roof.
The maids and servants of Yipinju lit lamps and searched everywhere.
Jiang Miaomiao thought, "Won't my third sister drown? She's still a baby. I don't want to commit such a terrible crime!"
It won't grow up.
He turned and ran back, shouting as he went, "Someone fell into the water...someone fell into the water..."
Her voice was soft and sweet, lacking any penetrating power.
The little baby's legs are too short, so he can't run fast!
Jiang Zijin watched the small figure disappear.
this moment.
Her heart was breaking, and tears of despair streamed down her face.
She was destined to be an empress, how could she die like this?
How could this be?
She was unwilling to accept it! Unwilling to accept it...
Jiang Miaomiao walked out of the bamboo forest with her short legs and saw a boy passing by, his steps unsteady.
Their eyes met, and upon closer inspection, they seemed somewhat familiar.
The boy looked around, then walked up to her and squatted down.
"Little one...where's your brother? Why is he all alone here? Aren't you afraid he'll be kidnapped by bad guys..."
He then burped.
Xiao Miaomiao covered her nose.
"It fell into the water..."
The little hand pointed in the direction they came from, "Brother...over there, sister fell into the water..."
Before Jiang Miaomiao could finish speaking, Cui Xingzhou grabbed his clothes and ran quickly toward the pond.
Finished!
Jiang Miaomiao thought to herself, "Could this brother have gone to save someone?"
But he seemed to have been drinking.
People who have been drinking are very likely to drown while swimming, and they might even get leg cramps if they're not careful...
She just thought her brother was tall and had a lot of legs, and wanted him to help her call for help, but she never expected...
A servant boy caught up with her, panting, "Little girl, have you seen my young master?"
“Over there!…” Jiang Miaomiao pointed in the direction of the pool.
Only after the person left did she realize, who was this young master? Was he the older brother from earlier?
Can he swim?
Little Miaomiao started running again with her short legs, but after only a few steps, she bumped into a familiar embrace.
That familiar scent...it's Mom!
Her mother had a stern face and looked rather fierce. She patted Jiang Miaomiao's little bottom twice and said, "Jiang Miaomiao, who told you to run away alone!"
I really want to pick up the little rascal and give him a good spanking, but I can't bring myself to do it.
Jiang Miaomiao lowered her head, not daring to look at her mother.
When their mother calls them by their full names, it means she is truly angry.
They'll beat you up!
Suddenly, I remembered that there were still three people lingering at the entrance of the King of Hell's palace.
Pointing towards the pool, "Mother, Auntie, over there... someone fell into the water..."
Hope it's not too late.
Aunt Xiuxiu disappeared before their eyes like a gust of wind...
