Chapter 535 People are under the roof
Almost as soon as he sat down, Li Laoer asked, "Fu Niu'er, what happened?"
The village chief came in later, his eyes also full of urgent concern.
Jiayin raised her finger to her mouth to signal them not to ask, and whispered, "Go home first!"
Li Laoer immediately shouted, and Zheng Feng and Zheng He drove the carriage and started running.
The four young men from the village had already driven back in the mule cart.
After all, there is a lot of work in the village, and they are selling jade melons. It is a busy time, so we cannot leave too many people waiting here.
It wasn't until they left Dongcheng and were walking on the busy streets that Jiayin said, "Second uncle, the queen and the princess bullied me, but I didn't suffer, and they didn't take advantage."
"What? Why did they bully you?" Li Laoer frowned and asked, hugging his niece tighter.
The village chief also said, "Yes, the queen and princess, we didn't offend them, so why did they bully our children!"
Jiayin patted the second uncle on the shoulder and said comfortingly like a young adult, "It's not a big deal. It seems that the queen wanted to introduce a daughter-in-law to my adoptive father. My adoptive father did not agree and wanted to give me the Hou Mansion, so the queen became angry. ,Dislike me.
"The third princess was ugly and had a bad personality. She was jealous because Uncle Huang liked me. She said that I was wearing the same dress as her because I didn't understand the rules, so she asked me to kneel down. I didn't want to kneel down, so just I wanted to get away, but she pulled my braid again!”
Li Laoer subconsciously held his little niece's braid, but it had been combed again and it was not messy in any way.
Jiayin added, "I pulled the princess down together and secretly pricked the acupuncture points on her feet. She had a stomachache and rolled all over the floor. She was very ugly!"
Jiayin couldn't help but giggle when she thought of the embarrassed look of the third princess.
Li Laoer and the village chief looked a little better. The village chief asked, "What happened later, were you discovered?"
Jiayin shook her head and responded, "The queen is here and took the princess back to Kunning Palace for diagnosis and treatment by the imperial doctor. However, I didn't give her any medicine. I only pricked the acupuncture points. Her stomach only hurt for half an hour and she was fine.
"The third princess was particularly bad. She told the queen that I had beaten her, so the queen locked me in a small room in the garden. I waited for a while, and uncle Huang came to see me.
"I brought mosquito repellent powder in my purse, so I wiped my eyes, which made me cry, and rolled all over the floor, making me dirty. The emperor saw how pitiful I was and was very angry. He punished the queen and the princess and even compensated them. Give me lots of good stuff!”
As she spoke, she grabbed the dragonfly embedded in the necklace and showed it to her second uncle and the village chief. She shook her little head more and more proudly, "When I left the palace, the manager said that the third princess saw this set of jewelry before and asked for it. , the emperor didn’t give it to her, I’m afraid she’ll be even more angry!”
Li Laoer took a deep breath and used all his strength to suppress the rage in his heart.
Although the little niece spoke in an understatement and tried her best to draw their attention to the collar, how could he not hear the danger and grievance in it.
No matter how smart the little niece is, she is still a child of five or six years old. How frightened she must be when she is locked up in a broken house!
The princess is the queen’s child, and the queen feels sorry for her!
Then other people’s children are not children? !
Li Laoer's eyes were bloodshot. He couldn't bear it anymore and cursed in a low voice, "Damn it, just wait..."
The village chief grabbed Li Laoer's sleeve and listened carefully to what was going on outside. There was nothing unusual, and then he comforted him, "Uncle, this is not the place to talk. Walls have ears, so don't talk even when you go home..."
Jiayin really didn’t want his second uncle to be worried or angry, so he tried to speak more relaxedly.
Actually, in her opinion, although she was a little cowardly and pretended to be pitiful to get through today, the princess also suffered a lot, and she did not break up with the queen, which was already very good.
Although the Li family has the support of a marquis, two titles, and a first-grade wife, in the final analysis, these are all given by the royal family.
As the old saying goes, people have to bow their heads when under the eaves.
The royal family is the eaves above the heads of the Li family and the eaves of all the people in Tianwu.
The Li family and she both want to keep their heads down, so they have to grow strong enough, strong enough, and tall enough.
The eaves can be automatically retracted in order to avoid being broken.
But for the time being, neither she nor the Li family has the ability, and they don’t want to suffer a **** blow, so they can only deal with it coldly. But reason and emotion are two different things. In the second uncle's mind, he obviously knew that this was the best way to deal with the situation, and the result was not bad.
But emotionally, if a child is bullied and cannot fight back, he will definitely hold his breath!
Jiayin quickly hugged the second uncle's neck and earnestly persuaded, "Second uncle, I really didn't suffer, and I'm not afraid. The small satchel I brought before contained snacks, and I ate them all. I wasn't hungry at all. ! I want the emperor to punish the princess so I act pitiful!
“Second uncle, don’t be angry. Grandma will feel distressed when she sees you when you go back! I will never enter the palace again, and I won’t see that princess! Or I can wait until my adoptive father comes back and ask him to help me vent my anger!”
Li Laoer felt even more depressed after hearing this. The children of the Li family had been wronged, and the Li family had no way to vent their anger, so they still wanted to find the Marquis...
But he thought a thousand times and could only respond, "Okay, second uncle, don't be angry. Let's be nice and don't let grandma see it when we go back."
“Okay, pull the hook!” Jiayin pulled the second uncle’s little finger, glad to hide the matter.
Li Laoer felt more and more uncomfortable the more he thought about it...
An important sign of a child's growth is reporting good things rather than bad things.
When I was wronged, I ran home crying and told everyone I met.
When I felt wronged, I went home and smiled and said I was doing well.
This mental journey can only be gained by enduring enough hardships.
The Li family hopes that their children will grow up, but they don’t want them to grow up in this way!
The village chief sighed and took out the pipe and pot. He did not dare to light it for fear of inhaling the smoke to the children, so he could only smoke it twice.
The old man was a little confused. He originally thought that the village was already very powerful and life was very good. The Li family had soared into the sky, with titles, titles, fiefs, and children who were promising.
But it seems that there is still not enough...
Crushing under the glow of the sky, the carriage finally returned to the village.
And the excitement over the melon field is coming to an end!
Buyers took the jade melons and golden fruits they bought one after another and hurried back to the city. If they were late, the city gate would be closed.
When the sun was just setting, Uncle Zhao stopped picking melons. He had a ready excuse because all the ripe melons were sold out.
It will be bright tomorrow before we can go to the fields to continue searching.
Otherwise, it will be dark and you will crush a few melons and you will suffer a big loss.
In this way, the buyer refused to be empty-handed, so he bought a lot of melons and fruits from the three villages of Dahuaishu Village, Dawangzhuang and Xiaowangzhuang.
Li Zheng and the villagers in the three villages were very happy. Although the money they sold back was much less than that of the new village, they finally opened their doors.
When Uncle Zhao was making arrangements for Liu to carry the silver box back to the village, he happened to see the Li family's carriage coming back, and everyone rushed forward happily.
As soon as the village chief jumped off the carriage, the villagers started shouting.
“Uncle Village Chief, has the Emperor eaten the melons from our village?”
“Yes, what does the emperor say? Does the emperor like it?”
The village chief is a master at winning people's hearts. He waved his pipe and pot and shouted, "Do you need to say that? The emperor loves to eat it very much. He praised that this year's melons are sweeter than last year! The emperor gave me a reward and it will be delivered tomorrow. In the village!”
“Seriously? Oh! Great! The emperor said the melons we grow are sweet!”
“If I had known earlier, the price would have gone up!”
The villagers were talking all over the place, but their faces were full of smiles.
