Chapter 51 The General Loves the Country Girl (21)
Mrs. Duan was distressed and angry when she saw her son injured again. This anger was directed at Ning Shu and Erya.
Princess Jiahui's identity made Mrs. Duan dare not show her resentment, but when it came to Erya, Mrs. Duan was unceremoniously glaring at her. The look in her eyes was ferocious and sinister.
Ning Shu saw Mrs. Duan's eyes and believed without hesitation that Mrs. Duan wanted to kill Erya. There would no longer be the harmonious relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the original plot. Ning Shu said she felt relieved.
The happy lives of Duan Xinghui, Erya, and Mrs. Duan were all built on the original owner.
Ning Shu felt so intoxicated thinking about a princess ending up like that.
"Princess, why did you do this?" Duan Xinghui's face turned pale and he asked Ning Shu with a trembling voice.
Why did you do this? Ning Shu sneered, I am happy, looking at Duan Xinghui who dared not speak, covering his wound, Ning Shu said lightly: "I just flicked my whip, and you actually bumped into my whip."
Hearing such nonsense, Duan Xinghui almost vomited blood, looking at Ning Shu ferociously.
Look at Duan Xinghui without the aura of a general, how miserable he is, with a scruffy beard on his face, he looks so decadent, and no longer has the bravery and calmness of the original owner riding on horseback, tut tut...
Seeing the princess looking at him, Duan Xinghui didn't know why, he felt embarrassed in his heart, he didn't want to be seen by the princess like this, he wanted to show his best side in front of her, Duan Xinghui unconsciously straightened his chest.
Ning Shu turned away her eyes and said to Madam Duan who looked suspicious: "Madam Duan, I respect you as an elder, take good care of the family. If there is a next time, I can't promise anything."
Madam Duan looked at Princess Jiahui who seemed to have changed into a different person, lowered her head and gritted her teeth, bowed, "Thank you for your forgiveness, I promise there won't be a next time."
Madam Duan felt as if she was being severely ravaged. She lost her husband at an early age, gritted her teeth and held on, making her son so outstanding. Madam Duan had a tough temper, but she was also an extremely smart woman.
Princess Jiahui, who was still in her palm, suddenly lost control of herself, especially being so rude to her, Madam Duan seemed to be offended.
To put it bluntly, Madam Duan was spoiled by the previous Princess Jiahui. Now that Ning Shu had slightly put on the posture of a princess, Madam Duan couldn't stand it.
Madam Duan concealed her thoughts and left with the injured Duan Xinghui. Ning Shu also saw with her sharp eyes that Madam Duan pinched Gu Erya's waist twice. Erya jumped up in pain, but Duan Xinghui didn't see it at all.
Ning Shu smiled. It was estimated that Erya would have a hard time in the future. Madam Duan had many ways to deal with people.
Her own mother was dealing with her beloved. I wonder if Duan Xinghui would treat the original owner as she did in the plot, so cold and ruthless. Tsk tsk, the palms and backs of the hands are all flesh, and it hurts if a wooden stick hits there.
Haha... Ning Shu laughed very unsympathetically.
Ning Shu calculated the days, led a horse out of the stable, and prepared to go to the royal manor to see how the sweet potatoes were growing.
This season should be the season for harvesting sweet potatoes, but I don't know what they will look like.
Ning Shu did not bring anyone with him. He rode his horse to the manor by himself. Speaking of riding, Ning Shu felt that it was quite hard. The process of learning to ride a horse was full of bitterness and tears. After two or three months of learning, he finally could shoot arrows on horseback without holding the reins, so as not to fall to the ground.
When they arrived at the manor, Shen Qingqing gave the reins to the steward and went straight to the sweet potato area.
When they arrived at the land where sweet potatoes were planted, the sweet potatoes were growing lushly. It seemed that the people in the manor were taking good care of them. Ning Shu took a hoe and dug a few sweet potatoes. She was surprised to find that the red-skinned sweet potatoes were the size of a fist.
Ning Shu laughed from the bottom of her heart. Whether it was because of the mission or because there was one more food that the common people could eat to fill their stomachs, Ning Shu was filled with excitement.
"Dig all these sweet potatoes for me, and then measure the land. I want to calculate the yield." Ning Shu said loudly.
There were many tenant farmers in the manor, and the potatoes were dug up in a short time. The steward took a scale and began to weigh the sweet potatoes.
"Princess, this thing actually has a yield of 1,000 kilograms." The steward said to Ning Shu.
Ning Shu was very happy. In this era, the influence of various conditions, drought or floods, all have an impact on the yield of grain. It is good for rice to have a yield of 700 kilograms. In special times, sweet potatoes can at least fill hunger, and they are also drought-resistant crops.
"Move some to the princess's mansion, and dig a cellar to store the rest. The emperor may come to inspect in a while. You have made great contributions this time, so wait for the reward."
The steward and the tenant farmers showed joy on their faces and said in unison, "Thank you, princess."
The tenant farmers moved a basket of sweet potatoes to the princess's mansion. As soon as Ning Shu returned to the princess's mansion, she roasted sweet potatoes. While the sweet potatoes were still warm, she rode directly to the palace. When she got off the horse at the palace gate, she went to Li Wen's imperial study.
Li Wen discussed things with the ministers again. Ning Shu waited at the door for a long time before she saw the ministers coming out one after another. When they saw Ning Shu, their eyes were very strange.
Ning Shu's heart suddenly jumped, and suddenly it occurred to her that according to the time, it should be the time when the Huns asked for a marriage. So what do these people's eyes mean? Are they still going to marry?
Shit.
Ning Shu collected the messy thoughts in his mind and went in with the food box. Ning Shu saw the little gray ball sleeping on the desk. He didn't know if it was Ning Shu's illusion, but the little gray ball had grown fat and was rounder than before.
Li Wen squinted at Ning Shu and asked, "Why did you come to see me suddenly?"
"Royal brother, I brought you something good." Ning Shu raised the food box in his hand.
Li Wen glanced at the food box with a dull expression. Too many people sent things to his study, and Li Wen really didn't have any thoughts.
Hearing Ning Shu's voice, the little gray ball opened his eyes, his black bean-like eyes saw, his wet nose moved, and he supported his body and dug the food box with his claws.
This guy has such a sharp nose.
"Royal brother, you will be very happy to see this thing." Ning Shu looked at Li Wen's dull expression and felt even worse in her heart. Would this guy really marry her?
The little gray ball squeaked, Ning Shu opened the food box, took out the roasted sweet potato, and immediately smelled a sweet and greasy fragrance in the air, but it was very fragrant.
The plate was filled with roasted sweet potatoes, which looked really bad. Li Wen squinted his eyes and looked at the food on the plate. He seemed to have thought of something and looked at Ning Shu with a questioning look.
