Chapter 336： chicken and egg fight

Chapter 336 Chicken and egg fight to nothing

She saw Xianggong at a glance, Yuan Jiaqi was talking with the county magistrate at this time, and there was an official sent to arrange for the victims.

They have to search for suitable villages throughout the county.

Qiao Mai stood aside and looked at her husband whom she hadn't seen for a long time. He had lost a lot of weight, was haggard, and his beard had grown out.

But he seemed to be in good spirits. Just as he was about to go up to say hello to Mr. Yuan, a woman walked up to Yuan Jiaqi with a small soup bowl.

"Master Yuan, you haven't eaten all the time. This is the chicken soup stewed by the little girl for you. Ginseng is added in it. Why don't you just take a sip?"

The Yuan family didn't raise their heads at all, "No need, this officer hastened to arrange the affairs here, and should reply to the emperor's order as soon as possible."

"But your body is important, and it doesn't last for a while?"

Qiao Mai cursed secretly when he heard this, but the old lady didn't follow, and the peach blossoms kept springing up. Whose girl is this, and she came to poach a corner while she was away?

Yuan Jiaqi stopped what he was doing, raised his head and stared at the girl coldly.

"There are a lot of people next to me who haven't eaten all day, can you give them the chicken soup?"

"For, why?"

"I only drink soup stewed by my wife."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and continued to record. The woman was very embarrassed. In front of so many people, he had to ask the girl to divide the chicken soup into several bowls, and serve a bowl to each busy person.

Qiao Mai smiled, and the husband was doing well, so he took a big apple from the bag.

Quietly came to the table and put the apple in front of Yuan Jiaqi.

"Master Yuan, you have worked hard!"

When Yuan Jiaqi heard this voice, he suddenly raised his head. The moment he saw Qiao Mai, he stood up and hugged her fiercely in his arms.

Desperately breathing in the unique fragrance of the lady, she asked happily:

"My lady, why are you here?"

"Don't worry, let's come and see you. Look at how much you've lost weight. It seems that my wife is negligent."

"Not at all."

The woman wanted to yell at Qiao Mai who appeared suddenly, but when Master Yuan called her his wife, her face immediately turned pale.

Looking at Qiao Mai coldly, seeing the princess who looks like a village woman, her confidence suddenly rose again.

Qiao Mai looked at Yuan Jiaqi tenderly, "Eat an apple first, and I'll cook something delicious for you later."

"Ai, Ai"

Yuan Jiaqi picked up the apple and ate it, "Well, it's delicious, I haven't eaten anything from home for more than a month."

"Are you done working here?"

"No more, after resettling the victims in the city, we can go back."

"Then I'll wait for you to go back together?"

The affectionate look of the couple is too eye-catching. The girl held her hands together, and her eyes exchanged with a man present. The man shook his head at her, and the woman kept silent all the time. further action.

It turned out that she was the county magistrate's daughter, and she fell in love with Yuan Jiaqi when she first saw the mature, steady and full of style.

It's just that with her current status and status, she is not qualified to be a concubine of a king with a different surname, but who would make her like it.

So I told my parents about my idea, and they didn't object, but the county magistrate and the people brought by the Yuan family found out after inquiring.

This man with a different surname is not only afraid of internal affairs, but also all the money comes from the princess, the heat in his heart immediately cooled by half.

That's so high, you can't count on anything, and it depends on the face of the princess, especially the prince's fear of guilt, except for the girl herself, no one has any illusions.

It's been a few days, and this adult didn't even give her a chance, so she went around in a hurry.

Yuan Jiaqi asked someone to move a chair for Qiao Mai, and sat next to him. He let her watch while he was working, and the two looked at each other and smiled from time to time.

The girl was not reconciled and came to Qiao Mai's side.

"The daughter of the magistrate of Yuanshan County, Sun Shumin has met the princess."

"Well, what's the matter?"

"After the adults finish their work, how about going to Sun's house? The little girl is good at cooking."

Before she finished speaking, Qiao Mai interrupted her.

"Sister-in-law and I have never had any private dealings with any officials of the imperial court. Office is office. If there is something to do, the yamen will say, and if there is nothing to do, we will go back to our respective homes."

The girl Sun blushed when she was blocked by a word, what should I say?

She could only bow her knees and salute "I know the princess" and then stood aside.

It was gradually getting dark, and those registered today will follow the official mission to the village to arrange settlement matters tomorrow morning.

Yuan Jiaqi stood up and took Qiao Mai's hand.

"My lady, all the people I brought live in the inn, shall we go to the restaurant to eat later?"

"Don't you need me to cook it for you?"

"My lady is working hard too, so let's have a good night's rest first."

He held his wife's hand, without even looking at the girl Sun, walking ahead, followed by the people he brought.

The magistrate of Yuanshan County sighed and asked his subordinates to do the finishing work.

"Daughter, don't overthink it. What you have in mind is impossible. Don't fight until the end."

"Father, people just like him."

"He is not your beloved!"

"With my daughter's beauty, I don't believe I can't get into his eyes."

"Don't kid yourself, he didn't even look at you."

"Hmph, as long as he takes a serious look at his daughter, he will be fascinated by my beauty."

The county magistrate looked at his daughter, grinning strangely, not knowing what to say.

My daughter is a famous beauty in Yuanshan County. If she wants to say that she is second, no one will say that she is the first.

People are good but very conceited, how could they be willing to stay in such a small place.

Naturally, she wants to marry into a high family. With her status, she despises a small family. It is impossible for her to be the first wife of a high family. Now that she is seventeen, the marriage has not been set yet.

Yuan's family was good at first, not to mention gentle and elegant, these years in the capital, dealing with the emperor and all civil and military officials, raised the air of nobility and power, as long as they are women, they want to have such a man as a partner.

Not to mention the girls in small counties, they are the rich and powerful in the capital. Is there any girl who hasn't thought of him?

It's a pity, in the end they were defeated by Yuan Jiaqi's vicious mouth and his ruthlessness.

Up to now, Yuan Jiaqi has never looked at this Miss Sun.

In the private room on the second floor of the restaurant, a table of sumptuous food was served, and Yuan Jiaqi handed Qiao Mai chopsticks.

"Miss, try the taste of the south?"

"Okay, you guys hurry up and eat, it's been a busy day, no one is welcome."

"Yes, princess!"

Yuan Jiaqi wanted to peel shrimp for Qiao Mai, but she stopped her.

"You eat your own food. Now is an extraordinary time. I won't stop you whatever you want when you get home."

"Eh, so I started eating for my husband?"

The people at the table, except for Qiao Mai, all gobbled it up. They are all Xianggong's subordinates, and they are all loyal to him. Naturally, Qiu Mai can't treat him badly.

She flipped her hands under the table and took out a jar of wine, and Yuan Jiaqi's eyes lit up, so she took it.

"Don't just eat vegetables, come here, each person has a bowl of wine, drink to relieve fatigue, and sleep well at night."

"Yes, my lord!"

In order not to delay things, he forbids his subordinates to have a sip of wine these days. When the princess comes, they can finally taste the wine.

Almost starved to death, a subordinate took over the wine jar and asked the store to bring in several wine bowls, filling each bowl.

Opening the lid, just smelling the aroma of the wine, I feel that my fatigue has been relieved.

Someone couldn't wait to take a sip, "Wow, this wine is really fragrant, it feels warm in the belly after drinking it, and it feels like dispelling the fatigue all over the body. It's really a good wine."

"This is the medicinal wine I prepared, which is good for your health."

"Thank you, princess."

Qiao Mai held up the wine bowl for the husband, "Drink it, you have lost too much weight recently, I am here, so you can sleep well."

The Yuan family's eyes turned red, "Yeah!"

Everyone hurriedly lowered their heads when they saw it, quickly satiated and went back to the inn to rest.

The two had dinner, held hands, and walked on the streets of the county seat.

"What about winter jujube and dragon's blood?"
