Returning to the villa, Yan Ruocheng was asked to cook lunch.
She was heartbroken when she saw the vegetables and meat that Huang Chenling bought. Only the top of the vegetables was good, most of the inside was rotten. The most outrageous part of the meat was deceived into being weighed. A pound of pork was only half a pound. He actually
You can be confused and don't know.
While cooking the vegetables, she complained at him: "How could you be so stupid? How could I have fallen in love with such a stupid person back then?"
"Who are you calling stupid?" Huang Chenling came to the kitchen to help. Hearing her talking to herself about people being stupid, she asked further.
"I'm talking about a fool who took my money bag that was enough to buy food for a month, but was tricked by someone and thought it was cheap. I have lived so long in vain." Yan Ruocheng said vomiting.
"You're just talking about me. There's no need to criticize me in such a secretive way. It's my first time to buy vegetables and meat. It's expensive. I'll pay attention to it next time I buy." Huang Chenling crossed her arms and said,
Walked up to her and said.
"And next time, next time you go shopping with me and see how I negotiate the price without being cheated. Learn from me how ordinary people live." Yan Ruocheng put on a sophisticated look.
, said angrily.
"I remembered that I met your old friends today. I don't remember their names." Huang Chenling suddenly remembered her meeting with Hua Qingcheng and the others, and brought it up to talk about.
"Really? Where did you meet them? Are you talking about Hua Gongzi and Ajun?" Yan Ruocheng asked. She hadn't met them for a long time, only after she hid and studied medicine with Xian Jianluo.
I also learned that Hua Qingcheng finally chose to marry Wu Yangjun, thinking that they would definitely move to a more commercial city to do business.
"It was over there in the market. The playboy you mentioned really lived up to his name. As soon as he saw me dressed up so beautifully, he ran over to pester me. Later, his wife probably chased him with her daughter.
Come and fight, he ran away in a panic." Huang Chenling said seriously about Hua Qingcheng's embarrassing incident.
"Hahaha, it's really the two of them. From what you described, they should be living a very stable life. It's great!" Yan Ruozhen sighed with envy after hearing this.
Huang Chenling held her in his arms with slight arms, rested his chin on the top of her head, and said softly: "Don't envy them, we can do this. Now I am a wanted criminal, and I am no longer the same as before.
That second prince, in terms of status, your status is higher than mine now, should you accept me well?"
"No, it's just temporary. The Holy Spirit's will may not be his. Don't you think it's strange? Why must you kill your own son? No matter how ruthless you are, you won't do this? Don't you think it's possible?
Is it the false will of the emperor's uncles to use means to force the emperor to seize the throne?" Yan Ruocheng shook his head and said.
"You still think so much, I won't even think about it. For so many years, I have been troubled by those imperial uncles all day long and I can't sleep well. They just sit there as long as they like. I don't want to argue anymore. Anyway, my mother
The truth about the matter has been found out, and there is no need for me to stay in the palace." Huang Chenling exhaled a long breath and said.
"Scared? You have found out, what happened to your mother back then?" Yan Ruocheng asked curiously.
"I won't tell you, but the choice the mother made by herself should be borne by her. Let the past pass. My father did not do it, it was someone else." Huang Chenling said thoughtfully.
.
"Since you also cherish your memory and I don't care about it, do you still have nightmares from time to time?" Yan Ruozhen looked up at him and asked with some worry.
"As long as you stay with me now, I won't have nightmares anymore." Huang Chenling slowly lowered her head and wanted to kiss her.
At this time, a burning smell came from the pot, "Wow! It's burnt. You can go out with the bowl, chopsticks, and don't stop me from cooking. The meal will be ready soon." Yan Ruocheng almost
After being kissed by him, I came back to my senses and continued cooking in a hurry.
Huang Chenling nodded, followed her instructions, and went out with the bowl and chopsticks.
Yan Ruozhen felt a little happy when she saw him being obedient. It was really refreshing to be able to command him to do labor tasks so easily!
Five vegetables, two meats and one soup were cooked until they were all fragrant and placed on a round table. Yan Ruocheng poured a glass of osmanthus wine for each person.
"Your Highness, eat chicken drumsticks." She held the big chicken drumstick between her legs and handed it to Huang Fengmo neatly.
"You can eat it too." Huang Fengmo also gave one to her.
The two looked at each other and smiled, while Huang Chenling, who was in the middle, had a straight face, slapped her face, and said, "I bought the roast chicken, should you give it to me?"
"To be precise, I bought it with the purse I gave you, so I can give it to whomever I like. You also have the credit for running away, so I'll give you a fillip on this chicken's feet.
"Yan Ruozhen gave him a chicken foot and teased him.
"You are partial! Humph!" Huang Chenling rapped her chopsticks and accused her.
"Chen Ling, you like to eat chicken drumsticks, I'll give this to you." Huang Fengmo chuckled and gave him his own.
"Brother, you are the one who dotes on me. You stingy guy, I don't care about the chicken drumsticks you have." Huang Chenling also said playfully.
Yan Ruocheng stuck out her tongue at him, and Huang Chenling also stuck out her tongue in return.
"Are you still young? You are already a hundred years old. You should eat seriously." Huang Fengmo shook his head and gave each of them a piece of green vegetables.
"Your Highness, what are your plans for the future?" Yan Ruocheng asked after taking a few mouthfuls of food.
"I haven't thought about it yet. Do Chen Ling and I have to disguise ourselves as women?" Huang Fengmo said bitterly, frowning.
"That's a good idea. Brother Huang, I just went out to buy something. When the bosses saw my beauty, they automatically lowered the price. The boss only charged two cents for this pot of osmanthus wine." Huang Chenling disguised herself as a woman.
Tell me the benefits.
"Then why can you use half the money in your purse like this?" Yan Ruocheng wanted to sneer at him.
"My beauty can only be used by men, not women. Those female bosses must charge a very high price to visit me. I don't know the actual price, so that's how it is." Huang Chenling said with a smile.
Yan Ruocheng felt a little dizzy when he heard it. It turned out that he was cheated out of money like this.
"Ruocheng, did you save these silver coins for a long time before getting it back? You seem to be distressed." Huang Fengmo understood her temperament of keeping money.
"If you are stingy, you are stingy. You are so fussy about using such a small amount of money, and you don't even think about how many benefits my brother and I have given you in the past." Huang Chenling said indifferently.
Yan Ruocheng stared at him, squinting her eyes, and secretly decided in her heart that she must let this man who said that he did not want to live in this world experience the difficulty of life tomorrow.
She showed her sharp teeth and smiled evilly: "Hehe..."
"Are you mad at me? You're smiling so cunningly. You don't have any plans, right?" Huang Chenling looked at her as if she wanted to tease her, swallowed her throat, and asked with an ominous premonition.
road.
"You should come to my pharmacy to help me tomorrow, Miss Second." Yan Ruozhen changed his face to a smile that concealed a knife, held his big hand and said.
"ha?"
The next day, Yan Ruozhen was still wearing simple and elegant women's clothes. Today's makeup was more exquisite and beautiful. Yan Ruozhen also deliberately added a beauty mark under his eyes, which made him look even more charming and charming. It attracted a lot of people.
The young master came in and asked for a tonic.
Yan Ruozhen was responsible for grabbing the medicine, and he was responsible for wrapping and packaging the medicine.
"Doctor Yan, why did you invite such a beautiful girl to look after your shop here? What should you call her?" the fat Mr. Tang asked politely.
"Mr. Tang, this is my cousin. She is the second in line in the family. Just call her the second girl. She has just come out of the city. You are not allowed to bully my cousin." Yan Ruocheng came over.
He introduced it charmingly.
Huang Chenling's big hand was under the drawer and stretched out to squeeze her thigh to stop her from talking so much misleading nonsense.
"Hahaha, my cousin is very shy, and she is slow when doing labor. Please wait a moment, let her pack the medicinal materials. She is so slow." Yan Ruocheng patted his hand and smiled.
Let's talk.
"It's okay, we also like to watch the second girl slowly packing the medicinal materials." Mr. Tang said on behalf of many young men.
Huang Chenling could only smile a little at these lewd young men.
After all the gentlemen finished buying the medicine and walked away, Huang Chenling felt tired after standing for an hour packing the medicine. Her waist was a little sore and she wanted to sit down and take a rest.
Yan Ruozhen took out a lot of medicinal materials, a medicine grinder and a medicine pounding jar for him.
"Huang Yuanwai needs these medicinal materials. Hurry and crush them all into powder. We are on the way to deliver them."
"These need to be crushed? So many?" Huang Chenling pointed at a pile of medicinal materials she brought over and asked.
"Not much. Crush them into powder. There will be very little powder. Talk less and do more. Let's pound half of it each. You can crush these into pieces first." Yan Ruocheng divided the work and deliberately gave him the harder-to-crush half.
medicinal materials.
Huang Chenling felt that she could help her, so she tried her best. These medicinal materials were particularly hard. After grinding a stick of incense, his wrists were a little sore and tired.
"What's wrong? Do you feel tired?" Yan Ruocheng saw him stop his hand and asked with concern.
"No, do you have to grind these medicinal materials like this every day? They are very hard?" Huang Chenling said, and took her little hand to take a look at the skin and flesh on the palm of her hand. It was just as he thought.
, the calluses on her hands became much thicker. He touched her palms with some heartache.
"I grind medicinal herbs every day. Although they are very hard and difficult to crush, I feel that I can grind the medicinal herbs slowly this way without any worries or complaints. I live a very comfortable life. Calluses on my hands are nothing.
It's better to be thicker. When you can touch the hot bowl, you won't be afraid of being burned, hahaha." Yan Ruocheng said easily.
"You are so optimistic sometimes." Huang Chenling was amused by her and continued to grind down slowly.
After about an hour, when it was ground into powder, he was so tired that his hands were numb. He had never done manual work for so long.
Yan Ruocheng waited for the servant who delivered the medicinal materials to come over and delivered the medicinal powder.
"How much money can you make from these medicinal powders?" Huang Chenling asked curiously as she sat and rested, massaging her wrists.
"After the cost, we can earn five taels of silver." Yan Ruocheng deliberately lied to him.
"Five taels of silver? I worked for a full hour to earn five taels of silver. Can't you sell it more expensively?" Huang Chenling said a little excitedly.
"Why are you so excited?" Yan Ruozhen suppressed his laughter and asked.
"I've been grinding for an hour! Now my hands are numb! I'm still shaking!" He worked for an hour in vain and earned so little money. It would be strange not to be excited.
Yan Ruozhen also sat down, took his poor and trembling hands, slowly rubbed his wrists, and said kindly: "Originally, it is not easy for ordinary people to earn money, and the current world is not good, you understand now
Why do I feel sorry for the money that has been cheated? If I don’t let you feel it, you won’t understand.”
