Tongzhuang Shili Rice Flower Fragrance

The carriage stopped beside a golden field, and when Mingrou jumped out of the carriage, she saw Ye Qiuniang and a group of farmers bending over to cut rice in the field.

Even though she was wearing the same gray and tattered clothes as those peasant women, she could still be recognized at a glance.

I haven't seen her for a long time. She looks stronger than before, but her figure is still slender. The snow-white skin that was raised in the Ming Mansion looks a little darker now, but it still can't hide the charm of her young girl.

She bent down, grabbed a handful of rice ears with her left hand, swung the sickle sharply with her right hand, and cut off a handful of rice just like that.

It looks very smooth and pleasing to the eye.

"Jiujiu—" Mingrou exclaimed excitedly.

Ye Qiuniang was working in full swing, when she heard such a call, she immediately stood up straight, she thought she had heard it wrong, because the only person in this world who called her that was that little girl, and she should not be here at this time .

But still full of hope, he turned around and looked back, only to see the little girl in pale yellow running towards him.

Ye Qiuniang suddenly felt like fireworks exploded in her heart, she was extremely happy, but she was always restrained, standing where she was and waiting for the little girl to run over.

Originally thought that she would throw herself directly into her arms like before, but after Mingrou ran up to her, she stopped suddenly.

The expectation of hugging suddenly fell through, and even the whole embrace was restless, Ye Qiuniang looked at Mingrou suspiciously.

The little girl snorted, raised her chin and said, "Why didn't you run over to pick me up?"

Looking at the little girl who had grown to her chin, Ye Qiuniang couldn't help laughing.

"It's my fault, it's my fault that I didn't run over to pick up Missy."

Seeing her pursing her lips and smiling, Ming Rou felt that she seemed to be a different person. There seemed to be something extra about her every move and gesture, making people's eyes stick to her body, but the Chiu Chiu in front of her was still Chiu Chiu, not someone else. .

Ming Rou attributed this strange feeling to the fact that the two hadn't seen each other for a year. When Ye Qiuniang walked towards her, she felt a little bit shy and nervous for no reason.

I haven't seen you for so long, Jiujiu is getting more and more beautiful, but I don't know if she will like it like this, will she think she is beautiful, do you think I am as cute as before?

Ming Rou raised her eyelids and peeked at Ye Qiuniang in front of her, her heart full of anticipation.

Ye Qiuniang entered the Ming family as Chongxi, so she was naturally inferior in status, not to mention being sent down to the village. Even though Mingrou knew her very well, now in front of other long-term servants and the old man, she would Don't dare to make mistakes.

He walked up to Ming Rou and called out to be Miss, then passed her to salute Old Master Ming.

Ming Rou originally thought of sticking to her as soon as she got into the carriage, but now this person still has to take care of these red tapes, her originally happy mood instantly cooled down as if a basin of cold water had been poured on her.

When Ye Qiuniang returned to her side, the little girl's mouth was pouted, as if I was very upset.

Ye Qiuniang has been separated from Mingrou for the past year, and she misses her no less than him, because for her, Mingrou is her chance to escape from the quagmire of the Ye family, and it is also the only one that she can live so well in Mingfu. Asylum is her lifelong benefactor.

What's more, this benefactor looks so cute.

"Is Missy unhappy?" Ye Qiuniang stood in front of her, looking at her softly.

"Humph!"

The little girl did not answer her words, but turned around arrogantly, with the back of her head facing her.

Ye Qiuniang thought she was even more cute when she saw her, but after all, there was a difference between master and servant, and in front of everyone, he didn't tease her like the two did in private, so he whispered: "It's Qiuniang's fault, she made a big mess. Miss is not happy, please forgive me."

Ming Rou originally thought that she could come up to comfort herself as before, but when she heard her distant manners, she immediately became even angrier, stomped her feet, and ran to the old man Ming, hiding behind the old man, angrily, her face Turn away from her.

Only then did the old man come up and asked the steward in charge of this area to ask some questions. Ming Rou originally thought that Ye Qiuniang would take the opportunity to come over to talk to her, but this man followed the steward without moving, listening quietly to the old man and the two of them. dialogue, and answer a few words from time to time.

Mingrou was really angry with her now. The two hadn't seen each other for a year, and she thought she would be eager to find a chance to talk to her, but she was so focused on talking to her grandfather, she didn't take herself seriously at all. superior.

Immediately, the whole person was not well, and he hid awkwardly aside, with an unhappy expression on his face.

When the old man finished asking about the matter and Ye Qiuniang came back, Ming Rou didn't want to talk to her at all at this moment, completely forgetting what he said in the carriage, and wanted to ask Jiujiu whether he had worked hard on Zhuangzi.

After the old man asked about the matter, he saw Ming Rou's unhappy face, and asked her what's the matter, Ming Rou said that she wanted to go home.

The old man was full of doubts and said: "When I didn't come, I kept urging, and I wanted to go back not long after I came. Tell me, what are you thinking in your little head?"

Ye Qiuniang at the side heard what the old man said, she immediately understood, she walked up to Mingrou and said, "Miss finally went to Zhuangzi, Qiuniang will show you around."

Mingrou snorted lightly, her chest straightened out, her chin was raised high, as if to say: You insisted on coming and begging me to go around, but I didn't ask you to take it.

Ye Qiuniang smiled and said: "Qiu Niang has been in Zhuangzi for a year, and she has collected a lot of novelty gadgets, and I want to give them to the eldest lady. I wonder if the eldest lady will appreciate her face."

Just when Ming Rou wanted to play the score for a while, the old man laughed behind him and said: "Go, I don't have to go out for a while, today I will go with Qiu Niang to see our family's land, otherwise people will say that Leshan County is a big food producer. The future head of the family has never been to Zhuangzi, and this will make people laugh out loud."

Only then did Ming Rou timidly follow Ye Qiuniang to the edge of the field.

Seeing that there was some distance between Old Master Ming and the others, Ming Rou stopped after taking two steps, and said angrily, "Jiu Jiu, I'm very unhappy."

"Why is Missy not happy?" The corners of Ye Qiuniang's lips curled up slightly.

"You don't even miss me, and you don't expect me to come to see you!"

"Why would Missy think so, Qiuniang naturally hopes that Missy will come to Zhuangzi."

"But you don't seem to be looking forward to it at all, you just don't want me to come." After Ming Rou finished speaking, her entire expression became quite depressed, and her eye sockets also turned slightly red.

Seeing this, Ye Qiuniang's heart trembled, and she hurriedly stopped, trying to help her wipe away the wetness from the corners of her eyes, but she had been cutting rice just now, her hands were dirty, and she put down her raised hand again.

Seeing that she didn't coax her as before, Ming Rou felt even more sad, she turned her back and squatted on the ground so wronged that tears dripped on the ground.

Ye Qiuniang didn't want her to cry, at this moment she no longer pretended to be reserved, bent down and squatted beside her and said, "Miss, don't think so, Qiuniang is also looking forward to seeing you again every day, and I dreamed of you last night." , I didn’t expect to see you again during the day.”

"Then you go back with me, I'll beg my grandfather in a while to let you go back with us." Mingrou gritted her teeth.

"No!" Ye Qiuniang refused without thinking, "Miss, you can't do this."

"Why?" Mingrou who was rejected by Ye Qiuniang was extremely sad, and felt that Jiujiu just didn't want to be with her.

"The three years that the Grandpa set before has not yet come, Qiuniang will go back like this, what will the reputation of the Grandpa be?"

"It's not about business. Is it more important to make me happy or his reputation?" Mingrou argued unconvinced. She was even more responsive. She was also angry when she assigned Jiujiu to Zhuangzi last time. Now that the anger has subsided, Jiujiu is so hardworking and capable here, and it will definitely offset the later time.

"People cannot stand without faith, no matter what it is, it's the same." Ye Qiuniang said patiently.

Once Mingrou's arrogant temper came up, she would not be easily persuaded by her, but she said angrily: "In the end, you just don't want to go back to Ming's house, you would rather work hard every day here to cut rice and farm than Would like to live with me."

"Of course not, the eldest lady has always been ranked first in Qiuniang's heart." Ye Qiuniang said so, and it was indeed the case.

"Since I'm the number one, let me ask you, if the Grand Master thinks that the punishment for you is enough, and he comes to find you personally, are you willing or not?"

Ye Qiuniang was stunned for a moment when she heard her question, and then she said slowly: "If I really have to choose, I actually like Zhuangzishang. The relationship here is simple, and the sun rises and the sunset rests. There will be a bite to eat, of course, it would be the best if you can be with the young lady."

After hearing her finish, Mingrou had already sensitively sensed that Ye Qiuniang preferred to stay on Zhuangzi, her whole mind was in a turmoil, and she couldn't even listen to what she said later, and the little emotions that had been slowly coaxed to the same extent suddenly started to quarrel again .

"After all, you just don't want to go back for me. Since you don't want to see me, then I'll go back." After finishing speaking, regardless of what Ye Qiuniang was saying behind her, she stood up and ran in the direction of Old Master Ming.

Ye Qiuniang was as careful as a hair, how could she not see the two clear tears on the little girl's face.

Seeing Mingrou's back turning and running back, Ye Qiuniang sighed softly, but in the end she didn't catch up.

"What's the matter, Rou'er, didn't you want to go for a walk with your Jiujiu, why did you come back so soon?" Old Master Ming said puzzledly.

"Grandfather, Rou'er doesn't want to stay here, let's go back, shall we?" Ming Rou hugged the old man's arm with red eyes and shook from side to side.

Seeing her aggrieved look, old master Ming felt very distressed, and he didn't know what happened to Ye Qiuniang and his little girl, which caused her to make a fuss about leaving now.

But Ming Rou made a fuss, and the old man was reluctant to reprimand her, so he had no choice but to say to the manager: "Okay, I know the situation, and I can just leave these things to her in the future—"

After speaking, he ordered the coachman to drive the carriage over, and the grandparents and grandchildren got into the carriage one after the other. When the curtain was pulled down, the horse raised its hooves and started to set off.

And the girl standing in the center of the wheat waves behind the carriage, looked at the receding carriage, the emotions in her eyes were frozen, and no sadness or joy could be seen.
