Chapter 74 Digestion

"Don't worry, they are well-trained and it is not difficult to endure for a while. Just let them go to eat in batches later." Zhan Jin answered her.
"Xi'er, let's start eating quickly! As long as we finish eating early, the captain of the guard and the others can go to eat earlier!" Zhan Yu urged.
So Zhan Yu finally got his wish and had a meal of farm-style home-cooked dishes at Fu's house, and also grabbed a chicken leg from a rooster.
After the meal, Zhan Yu burped happily and sat in the Fu family courtyard to rest.
While the Fu family was not paying attention, Song Lanjiu winked at Lan Xi and Liu Shuhuan. After receiving the signal, the two people found an opportunity to touch each other a little and squatted in the corner with him to talk quietly.
"This meal is already very rich for the farmer. The guards will come here to eat later, so it is unreasonable not to give them more reward."
Song Lanjiu relied on friendship to travel around the capital. How could he accept favors from others for no reason and think about how to repay him as soon as he finished the meal?
"For them, nothing is as practical as silver. Wouldn't it be better to give them another silver?" Liu Shuhuan suggested.
Lan Xi shook her head: "Of course we have to give money. It's food money, but everyone treats us sincerely. Wouldn't it be a bit impersonal to only give money?"
"Xi'er is right, the Fu family and the Fu family are pretty good to us. Even if they want to make money from us, they are doing so openly. I like to deal with such people." Song Lanjiu agreed.
"However, for now we can only express our feelings in money."
Liu Shuhuan blinked and asked, "Since you all said that, will they take the money if we give it to them?"
If it were her, one day she would treat people warmly and sincerely, but others would clearly disagree with her, she would be angry!
"Then we just don't have to pay for it. It's a simple matter, just leave it to me!" Song Lanjiu raised an eyebrow.
Liu Shu was happy: "Okay, then I will pay for the money!"
Lan Xi took a step slower and asked quickly: "What about me? What do I do?"
"You? Well... Then you can keep a lookout for me!" Song Lanjiu thought for a moment and then said, "I will sneak in and put the money into Fu's house. When we leave, they can't do anything even if they find it."
"Ah? Third brother, you want to sneak in? Please, do you know whose room you are entering? Although you are not too old, you are still ten years old. What if you entered Miss Fu's room?
Let others do that!"
Lan Xi frowned in disgust, she could go in, but the candidate couldn't be Song Lanjiu.
"How about I go?" Liu Shuhuan asked.
"What are you whispering about? You're not taking me with you!"
While talking, Zhan Yu angrily approached a few people to protest.
"Shhh, keep your voice down, did we say anything?" Lan Xi bulged her eyes and asked him to be quiet.
"That's right, why don't we come here to eat when we're full? It's you, didn't you dislike the bacon being too salty? How come you ate it the most?" Liu Shuhuan laughed at him.
"Hey, haven't I already told you that pickles go well with rice? Besides, if your tongue gets used to the salty taste, won't it make it less salty?"
Zhan Yu turned his head to answer her proudly, then pouted and snorted.
"Don't tell me if you have these things or not. I just saw them all. You are definitely hiding something from me. Lan Xi, you are partial again!"
In fact, this little chubby boy is just as willful as she is in doing things. His mouth is not only greedy but also mean-mouthed, just like a naughty child, so she usually doesn't like to take him to play with her.
Lan Xi felt a little guilty after what he said. She coughed lightly and asked him to come over quickly.
Zhan Yu knew that he was allowed to join, so he held back the breath in his chest with excitement, and joined Lan Xi and others like thieves.
"Tsk, you are a prince after all. Why do you look so vulgar and straighten your chest when you speak?" Song Lanjiu patted his back, Zhan Yu was excited and straightened his back instantly.
"Brother Ninth, tell me what you were talking about just now!"
"But this little chubby guy can't do it either!" Lan Xi shook her head in distress, and unexpectedly called out the nickname for Zhan Yu in her heart.
"Little Fatty? Hahahahaha——" Liu Shuhuan was overjoyed, and his hearty and crisp laughter attracted the attention of everyone in the Fu family yard.
Zhan Chen and others looked at her doubtfully, while Liu Shuhuan's laughter faltered and he hid his gaze from them with an embarrassed expression.
broken!
Song Lanjiu looked at her reaction and secretly cried out.
Sure enough, Song Lanshu and the others looked over meaningfully - huh?
Forget it, don't engage in any conspiracy, just collude, Lan Xi thought in frustration.
"What, we are going out for a walk to eat, are you going?" Song Lanjiu shouted directly to several people.
"Why not!" Song Lanshu took the lead and walked towards his younger brothers and sisters.
"As the saying goes, if you walk a hundred steps after a meal and live to be ninety-nine, is it time to take a walk?" Mr. Fu also said.
This... Mr. Fu wants to go with them?
Oops, why does such a simple thing have to be so complicated? Lan Xi held her forehead.
"Grandpa Fu, we are going to play games later...just hide and seek. Can you help us look after the guards who are having dinner later?"
Mr. Fu leaned on his crutches and waved his other hand vigorously: "You just go and play with peace of mind. I will definitely entertain these little brothers!"
He paused, seemed to remember something, and asked: "By the way, do you still want to stay overnight today?"
He turned around and pointed to his several rooms with his crutch, and said with a bit of embarrassment in his tone: "I can still live in a few rooms in this house, but the boys numbering more than ten will have to live elsewhere."
Moreover, the houses on their village are all made of mud. If they really enjoy themselves too much and choose to stay overnight, I wonder if these little nobles will not be able to live there.
Lan Xi shook her head quickly to prevent him from worrying about this matter anymore: "No, Grandpa Fu, my mother is still waiting for us on the mountain. If we dare to stay out all night, we will wait to be punished by her!"
She widened her eyes and looked scared.
Zhan Jin also declined politely: "It is indeed unnecessary. We appreciate Mr. Fu's kindness, but we have not yet met Mrs. Song when we come to Hanshan Temple this time. It would be even more rude to postpone it until tomorrow."
Since they insisted again and again, Mr. Fu no longer forced it and only allowed a few people to come to the village to play every day.
Song Lanjiu winked at Wen Cheng, who took out the cost of the meal from his sleeve - a silver bean.
Wencheng stuffed the silver beans to Mr. Fu's somewhat honest eldest son, who was stunned as he took the silver beans.
