If Xin Yi wanted to leave this prison, he could only find Nong Zhigao.

But the strange thing is that since he said those words in the hall that day, Nong Zhigao seems to have deliberately avoided her and never came to see her again.

Therefore, the only "supreme leader" Xinyi can see is Boom.

This woman guarded her like a thief, so how could she be willing to report it to Nong Zhigao on her behalf?

After Xin Yi failed to persuade Boom for the third time, he starved himself for a whole day and finally got summoned by Nong Zhigao the next night.

He had a banquet with the nobles of the clan in the side hall of Nantai.

Xin Yi walked in amid the gentle music and saw many strangers, but not Fu Jiuqu.

She was a little worried, but had to cheer up, pretending to be nonchalant, and walked towards Nong Zhigao.

"Chief Nong."

She spoke in a rare soft voice. Nong Zhigao was a little surprised. His hand holding the glass paused and he looked over with a hint of mockery.

"I heard that you don't eat for a whole day?"

Xin Yi hummed.

"Why? The food in our village is not to your liking?"

Xin Yi shook his head, "I've gained weight, I have to lose some weight."

This answer surprised Nong Zhigao again. His eyes inadvertently glanced at her body, which was much plumper than before. He raised the corners of his lips slightly and said, "You should put on some more fat. You'll look good. You were too thin before, so I had nowhere to start."

"

His voice was loud and made several guests laugh.

"Your Majesty really loves this Song Ji."

Xin Yi secretly took a breath and saw that Nong Zhigao was smiling. He suppressed his displeasure and said calmly: "I have something to do with Leader Nong."

Nong Zhigao was not surprised.

How can you come to your door if you have nothing to do?

He tapped the wall of the cup with his index finger and smiled very softly and mockingly, "Tell me about it."

Xin Yi said: "I want to go to Zhai Town to watch the excitement."

Unexpectedly startled again, Nong Zhigao looked at her with a deeper look, "Oh? Aren't you always not interested?"

Xin Yi said: "I have never seen the New Year Festival in Nongzhai. I felt itchy when I heard Bum talking about it, and wanted to see the world..."

"Hahahahaha." Nong Zhigao liked that she liked the festivals of his clan. Seeing that her eyes were bright and curious, he couldn't help but smile heartily.

"Go ahead and ask Boom to accompany you."

Xin Yi felt relieved and said, "Thank you, Chief Nong."

Nong Zhigao saw her impatiently picking up her skirt and leaving, and smiled suddenly.

"return!"

Xin Yi turned to look at him.

There was a deep smile in Nong Zhigao's eyes. He raised his chin and gestured to a circle of Nong nobles in the palace, "Why don't you salute the venerable elders?"

Xin Yi was stunned for a moment and said oh, feeling strange.

She didn't know why, but she felt that Nong Zhigao's eyes were a little sticky.

Moreover, as a hostage, in what capacity could she salute his elder?

She didn't speak, nodded slightly to everyone, and left.

Nong Zhigao did not blame him, but smiled lightly in his eyes: "Don't be playful, come back before dark."

Xin Yi had already walked away and seemed not to have heard him.

"Huh!" A senior nobleman suddenly said in displeasure, "Your Majesty is too spoiled to her. A Song Dynasty girl should be treated as a slave, how can she be treated as a distinguished guest?"

When someone spoke, others followed suit and expressed dissatisfaction.

"I heard that she is still Fu Jiuqu's woman. If Guangling County Prince has done this to us, why should your Majesty treat her with courtesy?"

Nong Zhigao drank lightly, spread his feet and changed into a comfortable position.

"No more."

Everyone looked at it in confusion.

Nong Zhigao's voice deepened slightly.

"From now on, she will be my woman. Zhigao still hopes that all of you will be careful with your words..."

The side hall suddenly became quiet.

Nong Zhigao has always been a man who goes his own way. He can be said to be heroic or arrogant. He calls him "venerable", which seems to be a request, but in fact it is a warning, telling them not to be rude to his woman.

Moreover, this woman was the only one who could go to his hall and sit and drink with him.

"Your Majesty... alas!"

The oldest clan leader mustered up the courage to persuade him.

"What kind of woman do you want? Why do you fall in love with a Song girl? It's fine that the Song court refuses to negotiate peace. If the Song court wants to negotiate peace talks and redeem people in the future, what will your Majesty do?"

Nong Zhi raised his eyebrows, raised his glass disapprovingly and drank it all before letting out a low sneer.

"Then it depends on Song Ting's sincerity."

During these days in Nongzhai, Xin Yi often thought about what it would be like to see Fu Jiuqu again, what kind of expression he should look at him, and what he should say to him, but when he actually left the cage-like house and walked onto the busy street

In Zhai Town, she calmed down and stopped thinking wildly...

This is a place with completely different customs from those in the Central Plains.

Before going out, Boom specially dressed up, put on new clothes, garnished with jewelry, and held her son in a jingle, deliberately showing off to Xin Yi as the matron of the house.

But when I got on the carriage, I looked at Xin Yi's pale face, without a single piece of jewelry but clean and stunningly beautiful, without saying a word but with an aura that seemed to overshadow her, I couldn't help but feel depressed.

"Yongchang, isn't Ame (pronounced meh, mother) beautiful?"

The son is the mother's heartthrob.

Yongchang turned to look at his mother and nodded.

Then stab it with a knife.

"My mother is beautiful, my aunt is even more beautiful."

Auntie is a homophony of Xinyi's name. Children simply don't understand the complexity of the adult world, so they are happy to call her that way. Xinyi takes it as an auntie and happily accepts it.

These days, she gets along well with the children. She often sees the shadows of the three little ones in them, and will secretly ask the children to help her find the lost golden doll...

Although the golden doll was not found and Nong Zhigao became furious because of it, she and the children formed a friendship.

Yongchang praised her very sincerely, but Xinyi didn't dare to accept it.

After all, this was her first time leaving Nong Zhigao's "castle". She had to rely on Boom's kindness to stay outside for a while and find a chance to see Fu Jiuqu, but she couldn't offend her.

"Yongchang, your grandma's beauty is different from that of your aunt."

Since Yongchang fell ill last time and was cured by Xin Yi, he has been particularly affectionate towards her and stared at her curiously when he heard her.

"What's the difference?"

Xin Yi glanced at Boom's displeased face and smiled softly.

"My aunt is a very ordinary-looking woman in Bianjing City, but you, Ani, are the most beautiful woman in Nongzhai. What do you think is different?"

Yongchang opened his eyes wide.

Xin Yi didn't wait for him to speak, then asked:

"Think about it, have you ever seen anyone more beautiful than you, Ah Min, in Nong Village?"

Yongchang shook his head, "No, Ah Min is the most beautiful."

Xin Yi smiled happily and touched his head.

Boom's face also looked much better.

In fact, after being together for so long, Boom can also see that Xin Yizhi is not in Nongzhai and has no affection for Nong Zhigao. It is just a man's thoughts that they, as women, cannot control...

Boom sighed and looked at Xin Yi with kind eyes for the first time.

"The village past that is my natal family."

The streets and towns of the Nong people are connected by villages, and there will be mutual trade between the villages. However, they are significantly different from the towns of the Song Dynasty, because there will be more "barter for barter" rather than purely monetary transactions. .

Under Boom's guidance, Xin Yi watched the excitement in the village.

People are buying and selling and preparing items for the New Year.

The goods are displayed on the stone platform, and there is a dazzling array. Some merchants also hang flags like the Song Dynasty merchants, but Xin Yi does not recognize the words written on them. They look like totems. The faces of the people buying and selling are full of festivals. smile.
