Chapter 159 Another Free Farmer
Fang Jing and his group split into two groups and lay in a large bunk bed that they had prepared temporarily. The weather in early spring was still very cold, and there were not enough beddings in Ye Tang's house. Fortunately, when Fang Jing and his group came, they brought some thin beddings on the carriage, and they took all the beddings into the room.
Lu Anbang said to them, "Madam said that you should just make do with it tonight, and I will have someone buy you new bedding tomorrow."
Fang Jing and the others were somewhat flattered: "No, it's too expensive. We have bedding."
The eldest daughter is from a farming family. Although she has mountains, land, shops and a big house, farmers are farmers after all and cannot earn much money. They cannot let the eldest daughter spend money.
Lu Anbang said: "Your bedding is too thin. It's not like the capital. It's very cold here at night. If you're not careful, you'll catch a cold. Okay, you've been tired all day. Rest early. There's still a lot of work to do tomorrow!"
After saying that, he closed the door and left.
Ye Tang was washing Jamel Xiao's body.
She looked at Jamel Xiao with a face full of bitterness and hatred: "Whether you wipe it or not, you are still so dark, so I won't wipe it!"
She threw the handkerchief at Jamel Xiao’s face: “I really want to throw you out, it’s too dark!”
As black as Xiaoqi's black panther.
Jamel Xiao couldn't move his hands, and shouted: "My wife, take the handkerchief away quickly, cover your mouth and nose, I can't breathe."
Ye Tang quickly took the handkerchief away.
Jamel Xiao took a deep breath: "I'm suffocating!"
Ye Tang continued to wipe him: "Were the medicines that Master used before so poisonous?"
Xiao Jingxuan said: "This is considered a mild case. There are countless poisons more poisonous than this."
Ye Tang: "...You are lucky to be alive."
Jamel Xiao: "I will be immune to all poisons sooner or later."
Ye Tang took out a medicine bag and said, "I've also made a poison. Do you want me to try it?"
Jamel Xiao: "...Madam, it is not okay to murder your husband. I promise not to be lazy in the future, okay? Let's put down the poison."
Ye Tang smiled: "I'm just kidding, I don't know how to play with poison, I'm afraid of killing myself."
Jamel Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Jamel Xiao was too dark tonight, and Ye Tang felt it was an eyesore, so he took a bed sheet and hung it in the middle of the bed, blocking Jamel Xiao's sight, thinking out of sight, out of mind.
Jamel Xiao: "...Madam, you won't be able to see anything after the lights are turned off. It doesn't matter whether you hang the bed sheet or not."
What responded to him was Ye Tang's cold and even breathing.
The next day, just after dawn, Xiao Jingxuan found that he could move. The first thing he did was to pull open the bed sheet, wanting to hug his wife and kiss her.
"Ah! Ghost!" Ye Tang screamed and punched him.
Jamel Xiao was beaten so hard that his face was deformed and he fell under the bed.
"Madam, why did you hit me?"
Ye Tang looked at him suspiciously: "Husband?"
Jamel Xiao covered his face and said, "You can't recognize me now that I've regained my beauty?"
Ye Tang looked at him seriously for a while, then suddenly jumped off the bed and took the bronze mirror: "Take a close look at your face?"
Xiao Jingxuan looked into the bronze mirror and was horrified to find that his face was black and white. The black and white patterns were of different shapes and sizes, and it was even uglier than the black face he had yesterday.
Xiao Jingxuan was stunned.
Ye Tang looked at him with disdain: "You look like a Dalmatian now."
Jamel Xiao didn’t know what a Dalmatian was, but they were all dogs, and he felt like dizzy.
Ye Tang was puzzled: "Didn't you say that the effect of the medicine would wear off today? How come... it mutated?"
Jamel Xiao covered his face and said, "This is an emergency. I'm going to study the antidote. Wife, I want to eat spicy chicken noodles."
Even though he was disfigured, he still remembered to fill his stomach first.
I have some dry rice noodles at home, which I soaked last night, and I also have some fried chicken and chili.
Ye Tang went out for a while and came back with a bowl of spicy chicken noodles.
After a hearty meal, Xiao Jingxuan put on a veil to cover his face, climbed out the window, and headed straight for the clinic.
Ye Tang leaned against the window and watched his back as he left: "Tsk tsk, now he's not only lazy, but also ugly. He's too embarrassed to see anyone. I can't keep him as my husband anymore."
As there were not many chicken chili left, Ye Tang asked his servants to make minced meat powder for Fang Jing and his gang.
Fang Jing and others who tasted rice noodles for the first time were tempted again.
"Miss, there are so many delicious foods here, all of which I have never seen before."
“What is rice noodles made of?”
"I heard from Manager Lu that it seems to be rice."
"Rice? Oh my god! We ate so much rice early in the morning, Miss?"
"Although the prince is very cold to us, the eldest lady is really good to us!"
The servants in the wealthy families either ate the leftovers of their masters, or coarse grains, pickles, and watery soups. Not only were they not filling, but they were also extremely unpalatable.
The eldest lady, however, directly let them eat rice. Look at the servants in this house, they eat the same thing as them.
Fang Jing looked at the minced meat noodles in his hand and said: "The eldest lady is too kind to the servants. I'm afraid this kindness will backfire."
Servants need to be restrained. They have rules that they should follow. Without rules, there will be no order.
The eldest lady can be nice to her servants, but this way of managing people is too lax.
He had asked, and learned that the good life of the prince's family started last year. Their life was not so good before. The house they lived in was very shabby, and there were no servants in the house. The eldest daughter grew up in a peasant family and suffered a lot. She was also a second marriage and had never learned how to manage servants.
As the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion, she should have grown up in luxury, but... Alas, when I return to Beijing in the future, I hope that the Duke can arrange some capable men for her, and not let her be bullied by those women in the capital.
Daughters need to be taken care of more carefully.
After having breakfast, Fang Jing and others followed Lu Anbang to Ziyan Mountain.
Ye Tang followed Hong Longfei to the mountains. Not long after, Xiao Jingxuan also entered the mountains. He came to look for medicinal herbs.
Finally, with the help of Hong Longfei, Jamel Xiao found the last detoxifying ingredient.
Hong Longfei looked at his face and said, "I think this is your most handsome look."
Xiao Jingxuan glared at him, but Hong Longfei was not afraid at all and even laughed out loud.
After taking the antidote, Xiao Jingxuan finally returned to his original appearance before dark.
The two little wolves and the black panther were weaned and grew up. They no longer needed the care of the old wolf. Ye Tang released the two old wolves back into the mountains, but they would still run back from time to time.
They seemed to have gotten used to the Xiao residence and their two masters, Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan.
Ye Peng and Ye Ping'an still did not come to Xiao's house tonight.
Fang Jing wanted to send someone to protect Ye Peng, but Ye Tang stopped him: "My father said that none of you are allowed to follow him. He is very safe in Wutong County and does not need your protection."
Fang Jing had no choice but to give up and continued to farm with his brothers the next day.
After a long time, Fang Jing and others gradually adapted to the rhythm of farming, and then discovered that farming was really hard work!
This kind of hardship is different from the hardship of fighting on the battlefield.
In early April, Xiao Jingxuan went to Prince Xian's Mansion.
I brought someone home with me.
Xiao Jingxuan introduced Ye Tang helplessly: "Madam, let me introduce him. His name is He Songlin. He is our family's new free farm worker."
Ye Tang: “…” Isn’t He Songlin the emperor’s man?
