The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

Chapter 283: A Trick



Chapter 283: A Trick

After finishing eating the chicken leg, Qingyin was not surprised to find that Duan Heng's clothes had obvious signs of being washed. It was beyond her expectation that the mysophobic prince had only simply washed his clothes now.

Looking at Duan Heng, who had just recovered enough to go hunting, Qing Yin asked curiously, "Are you okay? Are you leaving?"

"Well, I'll leave tomorrow."

Duan Heng frowned, his deep and magnetic voice was a little hoarse, and it was deliberately seductive, but it still failed to attract the little village girl in the mountains.

Duan Heng helplessly looked at the girl who had no idea what was going on in her eyes, and said, "If you don't plan to leave for the time being, you can wait until I get to the town to pick you up."

"I don't want to! What if you go back on your word? I will follow you." Qingyin said doubtfully.

The man's deep brows wrinkled slightly. Although he didn't know what image he would have among the country girls, he always felt that it would not be a good image.

Duan Heng looked at Qing Yin deeply and said, "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. I will not go back on my promise to you."

The girl grumbled in a low voice, "Who knows? In the wilderness, who knows what a grown man like you promised someone? If you go back on your word, then you can just say whatever you want!"

Duan Heng: "..."

It is true that only girls and villains are difficult to raise. It is impossible to reason with this stubborn little village girl.

"Then you can come with me."

"That's good!"

Qing Yin blinked, looked at the man who was silenced by her words, and asked, "Are you angry?"

"I do not have."

The girl pouted: "Stingy guy, if you are angry, then just be angry, why do you have to pretend to be silent?"

……

Duan Heng looked at the girl who gave him a lot of abuse because of his silence, and sighed inwardly.

"What do you want to eat tonight? I'll go hunt and pack it for you."

"Pheasant!!!" The girl blocked her mouth due to the temptation of the food.

Duan Heng, who successfully found peace through food, closed his eyes.

In the afternoon, the diligent Duan Heng, who was recuperating from his injury, not only shot another pheasant, but also roasted it, wrapped it in grass leaves and gave it to the girl who was going out to take secretly.

When Qingyin returned home, Lin's father and He's mother thought that she was going to get married, so they didn't care too much about her laziness. They were still busy with farm work in the fields. The only one left in the house was Lin Tianbao, who was lying at home lazily flipping through a storybook.

Qingyin estimated the time, her eyes flashed, and she shouted: "Tianbao, Second Sister is cooking now!"

Lin Tianbao was so frightened by Qingyin's sudden voice that he dropped his book. He hurriedly took the book and replaced his own script. When he realized it was his second sister's voice, he was relieved and said impatiently: "Just do it! Why are you so loud! You're just a money-loser."

Qingyin, who had walked far away, could not hear Lin Tianbao's voice, otherwise she would have to give her "good brother" a beating again.

The narrow kitchen only had an earthen stove made of mud by a farmer, a black iron pot and a few worn-out small bowls.

There was a huge lock on the cabinet next to it. Qingyin knew that it contained precious foods such as bacon and snacks hidden by He's mother.

Qingyin thought about it and decided that since she was about to leave, she should first seek some justice for her original self.

Thinking of this, Qingyin raised her wolf grandmother's smile and walked to Lin Tianbao in the main hall, "Tianbao, do you want to eat meat?"

Lin Tianbao looked at Qingyin who was walking over again and rolled his eyes, "Nonsense, who doesn't want to eat meat!"

Qingyin suppressed her inner desire to beat up the naughty kid and coaxed him, "Tianbao also knows that his sister is getting married, right?"

"Of course, but what does this have to do with eating meat!" Lin Tianbao said as a matter of course.

Qingyin's eyes darkened. As expected, Lin Tianbao knew all this.

She smiled slightly, "Of course it matters. When I get married, I'll let mother use my betrothal gift to buy meat and new clothes for Tianbao every day, and our family won't be so poor anymore... Tianbao might even be able to marry a beautiful wife."

Listening to Qingyin's words, Lin Tianbao's narrowed eyes really lit up. Although he hadn't experienced the fun in the future, he could eat meat right in front of him. His eyes widened: "Why don't you quickly cook the meat at home for me!"

Qingyin rolled up the loose hair around her eyebrows, and sure enough, the fool took the bait.

Qingyin pretended to be pitiful and said, "But Tianbao, you know what kind of temper mother has. The meat in the house is locked up by mother, and I dare not do it. Mother loves Tianbao the most. This...?"

Lin Tianbao said without hesitation: "What's there to be afraid of? I can just ask my mother for the key."

……

After a while, Qingyin looked at Lin Tianbao's anxious back as he ran away, and curled the corners of her mouth.

In the fields, He's mother couldn't bear Lin Tianbao's request, and Lin's father had always favored this son who was born in his old age, and soon the key was taken by Lin Tianbao.

Several villagers in the distance were watching the scene, pointing and talking. They said, "Tsk tsk, Lin Tianbao from Old Man Lin's family has been spoiled. His daughter is so thin and his son is so fat. I don't know how many good things he has eaten."

What a pity for the girl who was reincarnated into the Lin family...

At dusk, Qingyin took Lin Tianbao's key and unceremoniously took out all the bacon and fried it, and also cooked the rice into a thick consistency.

As a first-time cook, Qingyin had a relatively good meal for the first time in this world.

He patted his slightly bulging belly with satisfaction.

When He's mother and Lin's father came back, Qingyin drank the water in the bowl and smiled very gently at Lin Tianbao who was eating meat like a pig on the table.

Sure enough, Lin Tianbao, a selfish guy who was raised, had no intention of being filial to his parents and was willing to wait for his father and mother to come back for dinner.

Father Lin and Mother He, who were looking forward to meat dishes after hard farm work, looked at the table full of leftovers and the big bowl of pure meat in their son's bowl and drooled.

Qingyin looked innocently at Father Lin and Mother He who had arrived late. "Dad, Mom, I'm sorry, Tianbao is so hungry, so I served the dishes first. I didn't expect Tianbao to be so hungry that he almost finished it. Why don't I add some water to the remaining rice porridge? But, Mom and Dad shouldn't want to snatch the meat from Tianbao's bowl, right?"

As Qingyin said this, she glanced worriedly at Tianbao, who was happily eating meat while holding the bowl.

Hearing this, Lin Tianbao held the bowl and looked at his parents cautiously, then turned around.

Father Lin/Mother He: “…”

Lin's father and He's mother, who were used to using these words to shut up money-losing people, choked.

The two smiled stiffly: "Of course not."

There was no reason for Lin's father and He's mother to scold the girl who was about to get married, and their faces turned pale and red because of being stabbed by their beloved son's act of protecting the food.

He felt a lot of anger in his stomach, and the two people who came out made even his beloved son feel uncomfortable.

The two of them had a pitiful dinner. The only dishes left were the wild vegetables that Lin Tianbao disdained and had wilted for many days. They were old and hard. The only staple food was porridge that was almost as thin as water, and a few fried grains that were dry and oily.

They both swallowed it with great care.
