Chapter 28: Xin Tians Temporary Lodging

  Mei Da's smile was as bright as a flower as she walked out, but at this time, everyone was intimidated by the Duke of Jingling, and it seemed that no one noticed her beauty, which made Mei Da somewhat displeased.

  She covered her mouth and smiled, as the husky, seductive laughter spread out, Meiyu's body seemed to tremble without bones, this was a kind of sexy charm, it was Meiyu's years of practice in the wind and dust. Indeed, everyone looked at her with rapt attention, most importantly, Jingling Gongzi finally raised his eyes to look at her, adding a hint of interest to that deep, mysterious gaze.

  Everyone smiled lazily and said: "I have long heard of your great reputation in a foreign country, today I see that it is indeed not in vain. I think there are many young masters and princes in the world, but few can make people's hearts break at first sight like you!"

  She was different from Wei Luo, she knew that the person in front of her had a ruthless and cunning approach, with a mind that was one hundred times more clever than others. At such close range, looking up at him made her eyebrows ache with effort, just to focus on his appearance, to treat him as an ordinary, yet astonishingly charming man. Otherwise, she would be so intimidated by his aura that she would become flustered and lose her composure.

  Fortunately, the Duke of Jingling had no intention of showing off his momentum in front of such a woman as Meidai. At this moment, he smiled slightly. This smile was like the first opening of the moon, the sun breaking through the fog, and suddenly everyone's heart was relaxed, and they all followed suit and laughed.

  Wei Luo also smiled along with her, but she only smiled for a moment before immediately reflecting on herself and hastily reined in her smile, lowering her head.

  At this time, Wei Luo heard the sound of Jingling Gongzi's laughter coming from ahead. "Jingling has long heard of Meidai's reputation, and today he is honored to meet her. His father, the Marquis, has prepared a house for Meidai, and offers humble wine, waiting only for Meidai's arrival."

  "Mei Ji thanks you, sir, and invites you."

  After Mei Da's family thanked them, they got into their own carriage. Jingling Gongzi waited politely on horseback beside them until Mei Da walked up to him, and then he proceeded forward with her.

  When the motorcade started, the sound of sheng music floated in. Wei Luo looked around and saw dozens of sheng musicians standing on both sides of the street.

  Just as the Sheng music floated up, Wei Luo's face cooled down, and a few low whispers came from the crowd, "It's snowing!"

  Wei Luo looked up and saw that the sky was indeed gray and hazy, with countless snowflakes gently falling down. The snowflakes were not big, but they fell on people's necks and bodies, making them feel icy cold to the bone. Unconsciously, the common people began to retreat into their houses, while the guards of Prince Jingling, who were walking in front, also started to speed up.

  It's snowing.

  Wei Luo turned her head, gazing through the snowflakes at the increasingly distant figure of Jing Ling Gongzi, thinking to herself: It seems I'm still quite safe; even if I've entered his territory, he won't recognize me as the already deceased Fourth Princess of Yue.

  She thought of this and couldn't help but let out a quiet sigh.

  The snow fell bigger and bigger, and the team gradually accelerated. In less than a moment, a mansion appeared in front of everyone. Jingling Gongzi accompanied Browning into the mansion, while Weiluo and others waited outside. Less than another moment later, Jingling Gongzi and others rode away on horseback, and the team members who were decorated with snowflakes began to enter one by one.

  This mansion is very large, covering dozens of acres. Anyway, Wei Luo followed the carriage for nearly ten minutes and still hadn't reached the center of the main hall.

  Everyone was a bit cold, and their movements were much more efficient. Wei Luo thought of finding Gao Yi to settle the accounts several times, but she didn't see him anywhere. She waited in the carriage for a while until everyone had settled down, including her own carriage being received by someone, before instructing the person who came to receive it with a few words, then jumped off the carriage and ran towards the labor team.

  The miscellaneous work team was in a bustle, and the crowd had just finished their tasks and were busy with dinner. Yuanyi, Seventeen and others saw Weiluo running over, each of them turned their heads to look at her, their eyes filled with curiosity.

  Wei Luo ran straight to the front of Yuan Zhi's face, seeing everyone staring at him, Wei Luo smiled and said with a bit of shyness: "The matter is done, so I ran back."

  She explained it.

  Everyone shook their heads, and the bearded man with a loud voice shouted: "Young one, Cheng Qi is not bad at all, how can you refuse him? Alas! If you follow him, you won't have to suffer like this."

  Several dozen people huddled in a small stone hut, the ash from the burning fire making everyone's faces and heads dirty, and with the remaining snowflakes on their hair and clothes, this scene was really unbearable.

  Wei Luo smiled and squeezed to the side of Yuan Fang's seventeenth, but she didn't sit down like these casual workers: it was too cold today, she didn't dare to sit down. She squatted on one side, stretched out her hand towards the fire, and muttered: "I don't like men."

  Hahaha.

  Everyone burst into loud laughter, at first it was just their group of people laughing, but gradually all the laborers in the stone house were laughing.

  Wei Luo's face turned red up to her neck, she glared with a pair of dark jade eyes and shouted angrily: "I am weak, can't I have a woman's favor?"

  The crowd's laughter grew louder.

  Everyone looked at Wei Luo's angry appearance and suddenly found her very interesting. Yuan Fang smiled and said, "You little one, this matter has nothing to do with your wishes, but since you chose to marry Cheng Jun, you can live a better life. At times like these, if you stay by his side, you might even get to eat some mutton."

  As soon as the words "mutton" were spoken, several people simultaneously swallowed their saliva. The man with a goatee hummed on the side: "Damn it, I haven't eaten meat for three years."

  Wei Luo turned her head back in surprise and stared at him. She suddenly realized that since she had arrived at the manor, she hadn't eaten meat once.

  She looked at the crowd swallowing their saliva frequently, and suddenly found herself missing that fragrant oily smell a bit. Thinking about it, Wei Luo couldn't help but loudly swallow her own saliva as well.

  At this time, a thin-faced man with a white face patted Wei Luo's shoulder and said loudly: "What you all said is wrong. I saw that the child's swordsmanship was not bad, and in three moves, he made Cheng Qi's wooden sword fall to the ground. With such talent, even if it takes two years, he will be a top-notch player in the horse team!"

  Everyone nodded frequently and said in unison: "Yes, it's exactly so, it's exactly so."

  "Little one, in the future when you become wealthy and noble, don't easily forget your big brother."

  "Hmph! Someone has already said it, that day the young child was able to pass the test only because he had someone's help."

  "What's the use of helping? Anyway, it was we who saw with our own eyes that Xiaoyi had fallen to the ground after being struck by the sword!"

  The cacophony of quarreling voices, amidst the din of argument, caused Weiluo to shake his head. By this time, the big mess in the pot had been cooked and was emitting a strong smell of swill. The weather was too cold, and even wild vegetables had been scarce for some time. Weiluo, who had not felt much while still in the horse-drawn carriage, now found himself suddenly losing his appetite at the sight of this whole pot of food made from bran, millet, unknown roots and stalks, and clear water all mixed together.
