Chapter 107 Finding clues
Chapter 107 Discovering clues
The atmosphere at the dinner table was harmonious, and Jing Yi took the initiative to ask about Xiao Yilin's situation after returning to Beijing.
Xiao Yilin was secretly happy to see the little girl caring about him so much, so he picked out some good things to say.
In order to set up obstacles for Lin Xiuhan, who might become his love rival, Xiao Yilin also took the initiative to talk about some situations of the Lin family, "County Magistrate Lin, I heard that your mother is looking for a wife for you, and it is estimated that Magistrate Lin will return soon.
Jing is married."
Lin Xiuhan didn't know why Prince Jing suddenly mentioned him, and frowned, "Oh, I didn't receive the news. But I have to nod for the choice of my wife. I have already agreed with my family.
. Besides, I am currently in Hui'an County and will not be returning to the capital in a short time. I will not consider getting a wife for the time being."
Mei Huanzhang glanced at Lin Xiuhan, then turned to look at Xiao Yilin and said with a smile: "Prince Jing is not young anymore, so it's time to choose a princess. The emperor attaches so much importance to Prince Jing, so he must be very careful in selecting the princess.
, I guess we’ll hear the good news soon.”
Xiao Yilin glanced at the little girl next to him without any trace and said: "There is no rush for my marriage. My father has already promised me that I will make the decision on my marriage and let me choose a princess I like. Family background is not important.
.”
What Mei Huanzhang said today was not a whim, because he discovered that the relationship between Xiao Yilin and his niece seemed a bit subtle.
He was a man and someone who had experienced it. He clearly noticed something was wrong with the way Xiao Yilin looked at his niece. Although Xiao Yilin hid it very well, he still found the clues.
Mei Huanzhang wondered if Xiao Yilin already knew the identity of his niece? Or was Xiao Yilin as good as Long Yang?
Mei Huanzhang frowned when he thought of this. Xiao Yilin was a prince after all, and it was hard for him to interfere too much in other people's private affairs. As long as it didn't harm his niece, he wouldn't pay attention.
But if Xiao Yilin had any evil thoughts towards his niece, he would still fix him regardless of whether Xiao Yilin was a prince or not.
Jing Yi always feels that the atmosphere at the dinner table is a bit strange now. Why are everyone talking about Lin Xiuhan and Xiao Yilin's marriage?
But then Lin Xiuhan changed the subject and talked about winter wheat.
Xiao Yilin took the initiative to pick up some food for Jing Yi, "Jing Yan should eat more, you have worked hard today."
"Thank you, Brother Xiao. I don't have anything to do. With Qiao Yan and the others helping me, it makes things much easier."
Xiao Yilin sat next to Jing Yi, and Mei Huanzhang watched as Xiao Yilin's tall figure made his niece look dainty and petite, making her look less like a man.
Mei Huanzhang felt that it was very possible that Xiao Yilin discovered the identity of his niece. He couldn't help but secretly observe Xiao Yilin's behavior towards his niece.
Jing Yi and the others were eating in the main room, and Gu Yu and the others were also eating in the side room. Except for Gu Yu and Feng Zhi, the other guards were all too exhausted to lift their heads.
Feng Zhi ate and boasted, "Gu Yu and I lived here with the prince for several months before, eating delicious food every day. In order to avoid gaining weight, we had to extend our martial arts training time every day. The meals cooked by the Chu family were different every day.
, I want to swallow my tongue every day when I eat."
The guards who often followed Xiao Yilin looked at Feng Zhi's bragging and were very arrogant. One of the guards said: "Old Feng, from now on, this good thing must be shared with everyone, and you can't let you take it all by yourself."
When Feng Zhi heard that someone was trying to compete with him for his position, he quit, "The prince can't live without the protection of me and Gu Yu. How can I change people? No, I will definitely have to follow the prince all the time."
Another guard said: "This guy just got an advantage and behaved well. Our skills are not worse than yours, otherwise we will go back and compete. Whoever has better skills will follow the prince to protect him."
Gu Yu silently took two mouthfuls of food and glared at a few people, "I can't stop your mouths even if you eat. Don't talk outside, don't cause trouble for the prince. Mr. Chu's news here must not be leaked. If anyone is not careful, he will be bald."
Go out and wait for the prince's punishment."
After hearing this, several people became honest, stopped talking nonsense, and hurriedly ate their food. The other people didn't even say a word, they just ate.
After lunch, Lin Xiuhan went back to the county office. Xiao Yilin also went back to his room to rest.
Jingyi went back to her room during her nap, and while lying on the bed, her mind couldn't help but think of the scene when she took Xiao Yilin's pulse today.
Thinking of the way Xiao Yilin looked at her and the tone of his words, Jing Yi couldn't help but blush again.
Jing Yi let out a long breath, patted her warm cheeks and cursed herself for not living up to expectations. A man younger than her actual age actually made her almost confused.
It's all because Xiao Yilin is so attractive. What could a grown man do if he's so good-looking? She was almost confused.
Jing Yi knew that she had different feelings for Xiao Yilin. But she secretly warned herself not to be held back by the love between her children.
She still has a great revenge that she has yet to avenge, so she shouldn't think about emotional matters now. Besides, Xiao Yilin is a prince and a prince after all, and he is very likely to inherit the throne in the future.
Such a person will definitely have three wives and four concubines in the future, surrounded by beauties. Therefore, Xiao Yilin is definitely not her cup of tea. She cannot let her feelings go and fall in love with Xiao Yilin. That will undoubtedly bring trouble to herself.
After thinking about it, Jing Yi decided to treat Xiao Yilin as a good friend or brother from now on, and no longer consider anything else.
In the afternoon, Jingyi went to the wheat field again to take a look. A lot of wheat had been cut, and most of the cut wheat had been transported to the threshing field.
Now that there is enough sunshine, the wheat is spread out to dry on the threshing floor. Once it is dry, the wheat can be rolled using stone rollers pulled by animals.
In this way, the wheat grains will fall off the ears little by little. When the wheat straw is taken away, the wheat grains that have fallen on the ground will be exposed. The wheat grains are collected together and processed, and the remaining clean ones contain almost no
The wheat grains with impurities can be stored in the warehouse after being dried.
Because there were many people in the family and meat was limited, Jingyi asked Song Yuancheng to drive the carriage to the county town the next day to buy some pork, grain and other ingredients, as well as some herbs. Jingyi had already written a list. She planned to brew Xiao Yilin today
Medicinal bath.
Jing Yi is also planning to go into the mountains to hunt some prey and come back.
When Xiao Yilin heard that Jing Yi was going to the mountains for hunting, of course he had to follow her. It was just a good time to spend more time with the little girl to enhance their relationship.
Xiao Yilin wanted to go hunting together in the mountains. Of course Jing Yi would not stop her. It was okay to go together. Her strength alone was limited. If she went with more people, she could bring back more prey. There were more than ten grown men in the family, but they were very capable.
Food.
Xiao Yilin was going to take Gu Yu, Feng Zhi and three other guards with him, while the other guards stayed at the Chu family.
