This concubine can eat too!

Chapter 10

The rooster crowed, everyone in the Hou Mansion got up early today, Gu Changyan and Song Ruolan even washed up, dressed neatly and came to the hall to have breakfast.

Especially Da Chiguai, who woke her up as soon as he opened his eyes, and kept urging Xiaofeng to dress her up quickly.

Song Ruolan, in order to coax the immature child who had been puffing her cheeks yesterday, asked Die Er to order Uncle Jiang to make more meat sandwiches for her at breakfast this morning under the tearful and resentful eyes of Gu Changyan last night. Put a lot of meat on it, and let Gu Changyan wear the luxurious gown she chose that looks more imposing, and she also asked Uncle Jiang to prepare some tea eggs for eating. belly.

In order to eat monsters and happily cooperate with her later to raise up the prestige that "Hou Ye" should have, and intimidate the group of tenants who are in arrears of rent, she broke her heart and brought herself here when she married. Take out all the money and go to Uncle Jiang to buy more chickens, ducks, geese and fish for the mansion.

Having had a satisfying breakfast, Gu Changyan was in a very happy mood, always smiling, and during the break for a cup of tea, he had some conversations with Song Ruolan, but the conversations were all about eating , causing Song Ruolan's forehead to ache again, this guy has already discussed dinner with her just after eating!

She had nothing to say, and she could only answer with a smile when there were outsiders. After a difficult cup of tea, she urged the big eater to leave early for the village located in the north of the Guizhou city. Seal [-] households and [-] acres of fertile land.

Gu Changyan straightened her chest, and walked out of the Hou Mansion in a mighty manner. She put on a purple soap-colored round-neck gown made of the finest Shu brocade silk and satin. Red shirt, with the same red belt around the waist, inlaid with crystal clear jasper, although it is the beginning of spring, but the chill of early spring is still a bit, Song Ruolan didn't know that Gu Changyan's martial arts is so strong, The inner strength and mentality can resist the cold, so she was forced to add a deep purple tunic on the outside, with vivid crane patterns embroidered with gold thread on the two skirts and sleeves. The bun made her feel a little weaker in daily life.

When Xiaofeng helped her into the carriage, he couldn't help but praised: "As the saying goes, a Buddha depends on his gold clothes, and a man depends on his clothes. Today, Lord Hou is very handsome and manly."

At the beginning of returning home with Lord Hou, Xiaofeng had a lot of doubts about this Marquis. Lord Hou likes to wear a plain cross-collared long gown every day, and the belt around the waist is not loose or tight. He always says it is comfortable to wear In addition, it is matched with her pale and delicate features.

Who would say that they are pale?

Occasionally, Xiaofeng felt that what was going on in the Lord Hou's mind was a bit convulsive.

However, she didn't know that Gu Changyan had painstakingly played the sick and weak appearance of "Ren Moxian"!She has a fair and tender face, she is not pale!

All women in the world like other people's compliments. Although Xiaofeng praised her for being handsome, Gu Changyan was delighted. He stretched out his hand and gently patted Xiaofeng's forehead, and said with a smile: "Our Xiaofeng Your mouth is really sweet, why, do you want Master Hou to buy candied haws for you?"

With the existence of master and servant and male and female identities, Xiaofeng and Lord Hou do not have any physical contact in daily life. Occasionally, Lord Hou just pats her on the head with her fan. Now everyone is touching the skin on the forehead, Xiaofeng Instantly backed away in horror, touched his forehead and puffed up his cheeks and stammered: "Hou... Lord Hou! Don't make fun of Xiaofeng, he is not a child, and he didn't ask Master Hou to buy candied haws."

Gu Changyan knew that she was a woman and had no sense of intimacy between men and women. Seeing Xiaofeng's face flushed, she thought that she felt ashamed to be coaxed into being a child in public, so she stretched out her fingertips and tapped her nose again. "Hehe, you said it wasn't a child, who followed Ben Hou to look for candied haws yesterday."

"That's what Master Hou said he wants to eat!" Xiaofeng's heart skipped a beat when his nose was scratched again.

Song Ruolan, who was waiting to get into the carriage, had her eyelids twitch, and pretended to cough to interrupt the gradually imaginative conversation between her master and servant. Knowing that Gu Changyan is a woman is one thing, but let them go like this again It is another thing for people to gossip about others.

"My son-in-law, get in the car, it's getting late, this place will take more than an hour to the east."

After being urged by the princess, Gu Changyan also put away his bad intentions of teasing Xiaofeng, stepped on it and immediately turned around, bent down and stretched out his hand: "Princess, come."

Song Ruolan didn't expect her to do this, and after being astonished, she calmed down, thinking that Gu Changyan did it to show others that they had formed a good couple.

She put her hand in the palm of Gu Changyan's, and glanced at Xiaofeng when she got on the carriage, Xiaofeng was frightened and quickly bowed her head, she was a little younger, but she still had the rules she should understand, she knew the princess just now That look was warning her not to get too close to Master Hou.

A group of people finally set off, together with the twenty hidden guards brought by Xiao Qi, they are a total of twenty people, and it may take less than an hour to go from the city to the east, but now they are dragging their families with them. Xiao Qi estimated that it would take more than an hour to reach the villages and towns to the east.

The space in the carriage is neither big nor small. Gu Changyan and Song Ruolan are almost shoulder-to-shoulder, sitting with their legs next to each other. From the fragrance coming from her body, I looked at her clothes, and then at my own...

She suddenly lit up her eyes and asked, "Did the princess's dress today match mine specially?"

Song Ruolan is wearing a brocade skirt with white as the main tone. The skirt is decorated with exquisite peony flowers with purple thread, and the moon hung/wipe/ inside is lavender, and the waist is also tied with dark purple. The girdle and the beige are also white-toned purple thread flowers, which are very similar to Gu Changyan's purple soap-colored clothes.

He glanced at her slightly with half-drooped eyes, folded his fingertips and said, "You can see it, this is the first time that Lord Hou and Jin An have stepped out of the Hou Mansion together after they got married, and you also know that we Someone might be watching her every move, so Jin An didn’t wear this at first, so Die Er changed it in the end.”

"The princess is very thoughtful, and the princess guessed right, the old woman's secret work is still staying in Guizhou City." Speaking of this, the joy in Gu Changyan's eyebrows and eyes faded, and a little more annoyance.

"Old... who is the old woman?" Song Ruolan, who had an absolute court upbringing, was a little unsure whether the old woman mentioned in Gu Chang's cigarette holder was the person she thought of at the first moment.

Gu Changyan pursed her mouth, and said with a broken jar: "That's it..." She was still wary of the fact that the wall has ears, and it was also what her mother asked her to remember the night before she left Qingyun Valley, so when talking about the queen Lips were used.

Old... She even bluntly said that the queen is an old woman.

Although the queen is over forty, she looks comparable to those young concubines, or even worse. The reason why she can keep her youthful beauty is that the queen attaches great importance to health preservation, and the daily meals are also recommended by the imperial doctor. In order to maintain a slim figure, the queen will walk in the imperial garden for an hour after breakfast, and she still does not eat after noon. It is said that doing so will lead to a longer life and less pain.

The queen, who still looks like a flower, is described by Gu Changyan as an old...grandmother.

Song Ruolan raised her finger, covered her mouth and let out a soft smile. The beauty's smile could overwhelm the city, but the city did not overturn, but Gu Changyan's heart was overwhelmed, and she felt her heart beating again.

very strange……

She rubbed her heart, could it be that she has neglected to practice martial arts recently, and her internal energy has been a little messed up?

"Princess...Princess looks beautiful when she smiles. Smile more often, don't always have a serious face." I don't know the reason for the disordered heartbeat, but Gu Changyan is because of his personality. What I said praised the export.

After complimenting, Gu Changyan warmed up a little embarrassingly.

She was saying... This princess has a nice smile?

The smile on her lips stopped, and Song Ruolan suddenly felt a little hot in her heart, which also caused her whole body to become a little hot.

Many people always praise her appearance all the year round, and some even compare her to a white lotus standing in the middle of a lotus pond waiting to bloom. After hearing too much, no matter how beautiful or exaggerated the compliments are, they become a pile of boring to her. Song Ruolan has never been like this, because of Gu Changyan's simple sentence of smiling nicely, causing some waves.

She saw Gu Changyan turned away with a blushing face, Song Ruolan withdrew her eyes and lowered her face slightly, why did she have an inexplicable sense of tension?

The two of them just speculated about their sudden emotional upsurge. There was silence in the carriage, and Xiaofeng, who was outside, put his ears to the carriage vigorously and eavesdropped on whether Master Hou would be instructed by the princess, couldn't hear anything, and felt like he was listening. a lonely...

They arrived at the village in the east after an hour or so estimated by Xiao Qi.

A group of people suddenly came to the peaceful village. Even the servants were dressed better than them, which naturally attracted the attention of the villagers. Some knowledgeable people could tell that the carriage was pulled by two horses, which meant that The noble status of the people in the carriage, coupled with the guards around the carriage, wearing military uniforms and soft armor, they sent a person to ask the village chief to come out to deal with it.

Finally arrived, Gu Changyan pushed open the door of the carriage for the first time and was helped down by Xiao Qi, then she also turned around and stretched out her hand for Song Ruolan to support her, following the precedent in the morning, this time Song Ruolan put her hand on the carriage very naturally. He got out of the carriage with the outstretched hand.

"Princess, why don't you ride a horse if you want to come over for inspection next time... It's too slow to take a carriage." Halfway Gu Changyan almost wanted to jump out and ride on the horse, or use Qinggong to take a step ahead.

Song Ruolan glanced at her, and said sarcastically: "Why did the princess hear that the son-in-law has to be helped even when he gets on the horse? Can you stand riding a horse?"

"Heh, when I haven't said anything, what the princess says is what she says." Gu Changyan was quick to argue, she was so clumsy that she needed someone to help her when she got on the horse, and she wholeheartedly acted as Ren Moxian's sickness!

Mingming, her martial arts are better than her mother's, so it's hard for her to act as a scholar who has no martial arts at all, okay?

A group of twenty people entered the village in a mighty manner. Not long after, a man who seemed to be about 40 years old led ten burly men with hoes in their hands to block their way.

The leading man took a step forward, clasped his fists and asked, "This is Zhao Lizheng from Fengnan Village. I don't know why this distinguished guest came to our village?"

"Zhao Li is right?" Xiao Qi, the leader of the team, stepped forward leisurely and asked with a cold face. Zhao Lizheng nodded again and said, "This is Marquis Ren. I came here today to rectify the nearby villages and track down the tenants who delayed the land rent. What's going on, you just came, so please Zhao Lizheng gather the tenants who leased the Hou Ye's good land to a place so that the Hou Ye can interrogate them."

Marquis? !

Zhao Lizheng's eyes widened in panic. More than a year ago, he had heard that the former Marquis was unfortunately killed by a bandit, and the remaining young master Ren was saved in Ren's mansion. The imperial edict announces that Ren Moxian will succeed his father as the new Marquis.

As soon as the news spread to the village, some villagers who rented the good land of Lord Hou and pretended to be pitiful and defaulted on the rent became more confident and blatantly refused to pay the rent, while another group of villagers who often only paid half of the rent also followed the trend But they dared not really refuse to pay, so they only submitted one month's rent to him every two to three months.

He is just upright and has no power. After the former Marquis left, he didn't give him money, so he ignored those who didn't pay the rent and the taxes that needed to be turned over to the Marquis. Some villagers paid automatically. Let him collect it on his behalf, take some of what he should have and send it to the Hou Mansion, and he doesn't care about the rest.

Originally, he thought that the son of the former Marquis would at least send some people to deal with it when he knew about the situation, and it would be good to scare those bully tenants, but who knew that after Ren Shouqing left for more than a year, Master Ren didn't care about these things, so he was willing to take the initiative Fewer people turned in food and rent money.

Zhao Lizheng looked at the elegant man in luxurious clothes. His face was pale, but he had thin red lips, and his whole face was a little feminine. A pair of bright black eyes stared at him, looking at him The person who seemed a little thin and sick unexpectedly revealed a trace of power.

He hurriedly saw Gu Changyan knelt down to salute, trembling, he said: "Caomin Zhao Li is visiting Lord Hou! I don't know if Lord Hou is going to meet you in person, I hope Lord Hou will forgive you."

Gu Changyan waved his hand, "Get up, go and call the tenants who rented this Marquis's land right away."

"Yes, Caomin is sending people there now, but it will take some time. If you don't mind, please ask Lord Hou to wait in the front hall of the ancestral hall in the village." Zhao Lizheng got up, smiling like a dog to please.

It's ugly.

She frowned, her heart was full of disgust, then Zhao Lizheng first assigned a few big men behind him to find those tenants, and after the assignment was completed, he personally led the way and took Master Hou and the others to the ancestral hall.
