Heroine’s Road to Becoming Scum: Seventy-fourth bowl of soup (5)

Seventy-fourth bowl of soup (5)

The days are always getting better, except for one thing--that man named Shuanzi has been calling every once in a while. Sometimes I send some rice and noodles, sometimes I make some game, and when I come, I help Ah Chou carry water and reclaim the land, which is very diligent. His attitude towards the prince is also very good, even if the prince ignores him, he doesn't even look at other people's faces, and he politely tries to please him. Ah Chou has a dull personality. When people gave so many things, she made her own clothes for Shuanzi, and often brought back the Shuanzi with the herbs she picked, dried meat, pickles, etc. also familiar.

Is the crown prince such a fool? The idea that he couldn't see the embolus was strange! So he became more and more unhappy with Shuanzi, and Shuanzi was also persistent. He would go back to the house and say hello to the prince when he came back.

Until the heavy snow closed the mountain, Shuanzi didn't come back. When the snow melted and the mountain road was ready to go again, he came to report again, carrying a few kilograms of freshly cut pork in his hand and a bag of rice on his back. Ah Chou and the others are really inconvenient for some things on the mountain, thanks to Shuanzi's help.

A Chou took the meat and went to the kitchen to cook, but Shuan Zi saw that she had stuffed a lot of things into his basket, which made him a little discouraged. No matter what he brought to A Chou and his sisters, she would give them back He, if you really want to count it, I'm afraid the herbs she gave are more valuable. But this also made Shuanzi confirm one thing again, Ah Chou is really a good girl.

While Ah Chou was in the kitchen, Shuan Zi straightened the wrinkled corners of his clothes, patted the dust on his legs, and went into the room to talk to the prince through the tent: "That... eldest brother..." /

The prince said coldly: "Who is your eldest brother."

Shuo Zi was stabbed and scratched his head, "Then what should I call you?"

"Humph."

He didn't know what to call, so he simply didn't call. He took a peek at the kitchen first, and seeing that A Chou didn't pay attention to the room, he quickly said to the prince, "I want to marry A Chou as a daughter-in-law. Don't worry, A Chou, brother. I will designate you to be raised as my brother in the future, I will treat you whatever Ah Chou treats you, and I will never teach you to live a hard life, you see—"

The prince interrupted him: "You are also worthy?"

Shuanzi was stunned. He didn't expect Ah Chou's brother to speak so rudely. For a while, he didn't know how to answer. He hesitated, and the prince said again: "Where is the ignorant husband who is worthy of marrying her, you Do you have fame or military merit? Ah Chou marries you and will do laundry and cooking for you in the future, but you have a good plan." After he finished speaking, he paused and said, "A Chou is not married."

Shuanzi was not happy when he heard this: "A Chou doesn't get married, so can she serve you all her life? It's not easy for her to live as a girl. Now she can still serve you, and she will wait for a few years. When you're old, you can't carry your shoulders or lift your hands, you two can't make it through? I-"

"Go away." The prince was irritated by what he said. "I'll say it again, Ah Chou doesn't marry."

Shuan Zi was angry, he felt that he couldn't talk to Big Brother A Chou together. This man had a weird temper and was so rude. If he wanted to marry A Chou, he would just talk to A Chou directly. Thinking of this, he didn't care about being shy anymore, got up and went out. The prince heard his movement on the bed and wanted to chase after him anxiously, but his upper body moved, but his legs seemed to be dead.

Yes, he's used to it, but he still suffers from his crippled legs today.

A Chou scalded the pork with water, cut it into slices, and marinated it in coarse salt for a while. At the same time, he prepared the stewed wild vegetables for seasoning. When he saw Shuanzi break in, he told her with a blushing face. : "Chou! I, I have something to tell you!"

Just say it, why are you so excited? Ah Chou smiled: "Don't worry, you have something to say slowly."

Speak slowly? Then he wouldn't dare say it! In fact, this idea has been in Shuanzi's heart for a long time, he just didn't have the courage to mention it, and now he gritted his teeth: "Ah Chou, are you willing to be my daughter-in-law?"

The spatula in Ah Chou's hand fell on the pot table, she couldn't believe what she heard: "What, what did you say?"

"I want to marry you as a daughter-in-law." Shuanzi blushed, and scratched his head habitually, "Well, my parents have long since passed away, I have three houses of my own in the village at the foot of the mountain, and several acres. Paddy field, I am strong enough to hunt, and I have saved dozens of taels of silver, I, I will not teach you to endure hardship!"

A Chou smiled. She really didn't expect that someone would want to marry her as a daughter-in-law regardless of her ugly appearance. But unfortunately, she had to reject Shuanzi's kindness: "Brother Shuanzi, let me tell you the truth, I have no plans to marry, and I have to take care of my brother."

"It doesn't matter, I can take care of it with you. Having a labor force at home is always easier than you alone." Shuanzi was persistent, "I think we're a good fit."

A Chou sighed: "If I look like this, I will embarrass you."

"I'm not afraid!" Shuan said earnestly, "I think you're wonderful, the best girl I've ever met."

A Chou has never heard anyone compliment herself like this, her face was slightly flushed, but she still shook her head: "I'm not married, Brother Shuan, you are so good, you can definitely find a suitable girl, I No."

Shuanzi was extremely disappointed when she heard that there was no possibility of her answering. He was not a scumbag. He turned around and walked out. I didn't bring any of the herbs, jerky, or anything, but the baskets were all there.

The way she looked around made the prince unhappy: "What are you looking for?"

"...It's nothing." She smiled, "His Royal Highness eat while it's still hot, the servants made bone soup for His Highness today."

She carefully poured out a bowl of thick, snow-white bone soup and fed it to the prince spoon by spoon. He didn't know when he had a problem. When he took medicine, she had to wait on her like this, otherwise he wouldn't drink a sip.

The prince observed her expression while drinking the soup, and then asked casually, "What did the village master say to you?"

A Chou was stunned for a moment, only intending to prevaricate, not wanting His Highness to know these trivial matters. "Don't worry, Your Highness, it's just some interesting things happening in the village."

She lied! The prince's face was cold, "Really? Then he didn't mention that he wanted to marry you?"

As soon as she was exposed by the prince, Ah Chou knew that Shuanzi had told the prince about this, and she immediately put down the soup bowl and knelt down: "His Royal Highness forgive me!"

The prince didn't want her to kneel, "What's wrong with you?"

"The slaves shouldn't let these little things bother Your Highness. Your Highness can rest assured that the slaves will not let him come over in the future. Your Highness..."

Before she finished speaking, the prince interrupted her: "Okay."

“?”

"It's not bad for him to come." The prince said this without thinking, but Ah Chou tilted his head and didn't understand.

When she tilted her head, her eyes looked extraordinarily simple and innocent, and she was actually very cute. The prince's heart skipped a beat, so she wouldn't tell her that it was because of the embolism that she didn't have to do a lot of rough work. "I'm going to eat."

"Yes."

Since this day, Shuan Zi has never been here again. Ah Chou breathed a sigh of relief, and the prince couldn't hide his happiness, and his mood has always been very good. Winter has passed, and the mountain forest begins to show a vibrant scene. A Chou is also going to go into the mountain to dig some fresh wild herbs and herbs. After eating the pickles for a long time, she can bear it, but she has wronged His Highness. So when the weather was a little better, she prepared the basket, rope and sickle and went out.

Prince doesn't worry about her every time. If she is not allowed to go, she will always take the time to sneak away. He is well raised by her and has a normal routine, but she can stay up all night. In short, Ah Chou She listens to his words very much, but she also has her own ideas, and what she believes, even he cannot change.

Actually, when I first heard that Shuanzi wanted to marry A Chou, the prince almost let A Chou go, so that she could live better, she is so sensible and diligent, taking care of a family must be orderly, but.

He was reluctant.

Thinking that Ah Chou would treat another man the same way he treated him, the prince felt very uncomfortable. He has never been in love, and he doesn't know what it means. He only knows that if this is all he can do in this life, he just wants to be with Ah Chou.

Even though her face is ugly, her heart is the most cherished treasure in the world.

He waited for Ah Chou at home as usual, thinking that she should bring him a bunch of flowers when she came back. It's winter, and I haven't seen any flowers for a long time. Always like fragrant and beautiful things. It's a pity that he is no longer a high-ranking prince and can't give her anything. Then she should pick some wild fruits that she can eat, and maybe even catch a little rabbit or something to come back to relieve his boredom.

The rabbit I caught in the summer is now too fat to look at. It eats more than Ah Chou, but doesn't do any work at all. It's really useless.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help pinching the long ears of the rabbit on his knees, "You, what's the use, you know how to eat it."

The rabbit blinked red eyes, very happy, yes, yes, exactly like your master.

But for some reason today, it was getting dark and A Chou didn't come back. She used to come back at noon because she wanted to make him lunch. The prince was not in the mood to eat, he just felt a little flustered in his heart, and always had a bad premonition.

Waited for a while, until the end of the moon, and the entire mountain forest was eerily quiet, except for the occasional crackling of the oil lamp. The prince was getting more and more difficult, and couldn't help but wonder if she had encountered some beast? Or a sprained foot? The mountain road is rugged and the snow and ice are just melting. What if you miss a step?

Just when he was in a hurry, Ah Chou came back.

But when she came back, she was covered in dust. In the past, she sometimes came back dirty, but the first thing she did was to clean herself before coming to him. Today, she ran straight over, and the prince saw that her basket was not there. , came back empty-handed.

Before he could ask, Ah Chou grabbed him: "Your Highness! The Ninth Prince's people have entered the mountain!"
