Chapter 134 Entering the Village, Their Home
"Your Majesty..."
Seeing that they were about to leave, Shen Xiangyue didn't care about anything else. She immediately put on an expression that she thought was lovable, and her voice was so coquettish that it was sickening.
However, it seemed that she seemed to have forgotten how miserable she was at the moment. Regardless of how long it had been since she had showered or washed her hair, after the escape in the middle of the night, her appearance was terrible. How could she be beautiful in deliberately pretending to be so pretentious?
Oh my god, this is too eye-catching.
Shen Xiangwan shook off the goose bumps on her body exaggeratedly. She didn't think that Wei Chengyi would pity her until now, did she?
"Let's go."
As if he didn't see or hear anything, Wei Chengyi took the first step.
"Your Majesty..."
"roll!"
"what···"
Shen Xiangyue got anxious and pretended to pull him. Shen Xiangwan didn't care about being disgusted anymore. She pulled Wei Chengyi over, spun around, and kicked her out. It was the first time that the guards saw her so tough. They couldn't help but give her a thumbs up in their hearts. She was worthy of being their mistress. She was so awesome, wasn't she?
"Remember, you are mine. You can't let those coquettish bitches touch you."
Ignoring Shen Xiangyue who was curled up on the ground and wailing, Shen Xiangwan turned to Wei Chengyi, straightened his clothes and scolded him in a fierce manner.
"it is good."
Wei Chengyi was very cooperative, with even a hint of smile in his eyes. In his previous life, he had been wandering as a ghost for too long and had long forgotten what it felt like to be needed by others. He enjoyed the little shameless and overbearing possessiveness and wished she could be more powerful.
"Ah."
With a serious face and nodding, Shen Xiangwan pulled him around and turned around where no one could see, with a bright smile on her face. She had long wanted to try out the legendary domineering CEO style, and it seemed like it didn't feel bad?
Seeing this, Zhao Yuping and others followed them. Soon, a group of people entered the village. From beginning to end, they ignored Shen Xiangyue.
"Whose girl is this? She is so shameless. Don't let her bring bad influence to our village."
Zhao Dashan didn't care whether the other person was a woman or not. He pointed at Shen Xiangyue and shouted loudly. He could see clearly that this girl was not a peaceful person. She actually hooked up with someone else's man in public, which was simply immoral.
Jiang and others' faces turned black immediately. Wei Jingyi and Wei Jinghan's families looked at each other, all kept silent, and quietly moved away from the Shen family. Shen Xiangyue, who was curled up on the ground, was gritting her teeth in hatred. She couldn't understand why she was not as good as her previous life after being reborn. She couldn't understand what was so good about Shen Xiangwan. In her previous life, she was doted on by the third prince, and in this life, she was protected by Wei Chengyi. Is she, Shen Xiangyue, destined to be inferior to Shen Xiangwan?
After entering the village, all they saw were low mud and thatched houses, some of which even had cracked walls. Along the way, the guards briefly told them about the situation in the village. Yong'an Village was considered a relatively large village, with a total of more than 200 households and nearly 3,000 people. However, most of the land in the village was sandy and thin, which did not produce much food. In addition, the taxes imposed by the imperial court became heavier year by year, and every household had a very difficult life.
Moreover, it is very difficult to get water in the village. In such a big village, there are only two wells, one in the center of the village for daily drinking, and one at the east end of the village for washing clothes, vegetables and various things. As for watering the fields, the villagers have to carry water back from the river outside the village, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and very inconvenient.
June was the busy farming season, and most of the villagers were busy working in the fields. They did not meet many people along the way. When they occasionally met them, Shen Xiangwan would smile and show kindness as much as possible. Perhaps because the guards had a good reputation, the villagers would also shyly nod in response.
Yong'an Village is backed by mountains, and occasionally wild animals come down the mountain to look for food. Most of the villagers live in the front. In the past, there were shrubs and thorns everywhere from the end of the village to the foot of the mountain, but now it has been cleaned up. Not far from the foot of the mountain, a brand new large blue brick tile house has been built. It is designed as a farmhouse courtyard, with two floors, and more than a dozen small tile houses extending on both sides. It looks neat, bright and refreshing.
"Second Master, Madam, that is the mansion we bought the land to build."
Leading them through the village, the guards pointed to the building in front and said.
"Yes." Nodding, Wei Chengyi led Shen Xiangwan forward. Shen Xiangwan looked around at the large open space around them and asked, "Are these lands ours too?"
"Yes, ma'am. We thought we might need to build more houses in the future, so we bought all the land from the end of the village to the foot of the mountain."
Of course, one of the reasons is that they come and go, which makes it inconvenient for the villagers to know.
"Um···"
Combined with the guards' previous introduction to Yong'an Village, an idea quickly formed in his mind. However, whether it would work or not still needed further investigation. Shen Xiangwan did not say it out loud, but just lowered his eyes and pondered alone.
Turning his head to look at her thoughtful profile, Wei Chengyi did not ask any questions, but just held her hand and continued to follow the guards towards the mansion.
“Is this our future home?”
The group soon arrived at the gate of the house. Wei Ling'er took her mother's arm and looked around curiously, her tone unable to conceal her surprise. She had seen many low mud and thatched houses along the way, some of which were even about to collapse. Suddenly, when she saw this brand new blue brick and tile house, she felt really satisfied.
"Ah."
Looking at her daughter, Zhao Yuping nodded with a smile. Fortunately, her son had already made arrangements. They would settle down here in the future.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Shen Xiangwan entered the mansion while talking. The first thing that caught his eye was a very spacious courtyard. It was currently empty and there was nothing in it. The main house had seven rooms, three on each side were bedrooms, the middle one was the main room, and there were five east and west wing rooms on each side. The back house had a kitchen and two storerooms. Moreover, no matter whether it was the bedroom or the kitchen storeroom, each one was very large, more than 100 square meters.
There are only three rooms upstairs, two bedrooms and a study, which are obviously prepared for Wei Chengyi. In addition, the corresponding furniture has also been placed, and the main feature is that you can move in with just your luggage.
"Tomorrow we'll go to the county town and find a pawnbroker to buy a few servants."
Although the structure of the house is simple, it is not small in size and still needs someone to clean it. Wei Chengyi is reluctant to let his little rascal do it himself. As for his mother and Ling'er, they still have to take care of the children.
"Ah."
Human trafficking was legal in this era, and Shen Xiangwan did not refuse. She walked upstairs with the child while talking. The room near the stairs was furnished with a desk and chairs. It was obviously a study. The two rooms at the back were bedrooms. They were very large and divided into two by a wooden screen. There were tables, chairs and soft couches in the front, which could be used for a short rest or to entertain guests.
Walking around behind the screen, the first thing that catches your eye is a large wooden bed. There are a wardrobe and a dressing table on the left, and a small screen on the right. Behind it are a bathtub and a toilet. Everything is prepared, and you really just need to pack your bags and move in.
As if she had thought of something, Shen Xiangwan's eyes rolled around, and she turned to face Wei Chengyi and asked with a smile: "Should we live together or sleep in separate rooms?"
"···"
Is it so direct?
Wei Chengyi's heart skipped a beat, and his fair and handsome face flushed slightly. After a moment, he clenched his fist and covered his mouth and said, "We are husband and wife, so of course we live together."
Although he had no plans to do anything to her for the time being, he also didn't want to sleep in separate rooms like they did in exile. He wanted to be closer to her and let her get used to him as much as possible. As for the rest, they would fall into place naturally in due time.
