A time-travelling peasant girl becomes a wealthy woman

Chapter 151 Li Jingchen's Suspicion

Calm, generous and fearless.

This is not a trait that a six-year-old should have.

He recalled the report given to him by the secret guard, and then took a closer look at the girl in front of him. It was true that hearing about her was better than meeting her in person.

Li Jingchen smiled and said in a friendly tone: "No need to be polite. I heard that you were born in a farmer's family. After seeing you today, I don't think you were born in a farmer's family."

Could it really be the child of Yu Zhenzhou and Yang Lijun?

Just an adopted daughter?

Li Jingchen pondered secretly and looked at her appearance carefully again.

I still don't see how they look like Yu Zhenzhou and his wife.

If Li Jingchen had met Huang Bo and his wife, he would not have been so concerned about this issue.

Too bad he didn't.

"Your Majesty, it was my adoptive father and mother who asked Madam Zheng to teach me. Learning etiquette was very hard. I even cried a few times."

The moment Huang Mulin spoke, his face fell in grievance.

The well-educated and well-mannered look just now disappeared in an instant.

Li Jingchen was stunned, a little suspicious, and asked her: "Oh? So hard?"

"It's very hard." Speaking of this, Huang Mulin seemed to have a lot of complaints: "When I was in the countryside, my father and mother never disciplined me. I was free. I played with cats and birds every day. My brother would make delicious food for me. I didn't have to study. I was very happy."

"But since I became a county lady, my adoptive father and mother told me to learn the rules. Even on the way from Linhai Town to the capital, I was still learning. They kept nagging me every day, hum."

The pretty little girl looked very cute when she was angry.

Many of the court officials who had little girls at home felt sympathy for them.

Yu Zhenzhou and his wife looked helpless, but they were laughing inside.

I didn’t know this girl was such a good actress.

"Your Majesty, please don't be offended by my little girl's childish temper."

Yu Zhenzhou stood up and walked to Huang Mulin, clasping his fists and bowing to Li Jingchen.

"Hey, the county lady is innocent and lovable. I like her so much that I won't blame her."

Li Jingchen thought it was not a good idea to continue to inquire, so he waved his hand and asked them to take a seat. Then he commended the soldiers from the northwest and gave them some rewards.

Soon, the banquet began.

While the emperor was talking to the soldiers, Zhao Wenbo secretly glanced at Huang Mulin, and just happened to meet her gaze, the mischief in her eyes flashed and then disappeared.

This kid.

He laughed in his heart.

After spending a few days together in Bofeng County, Zhao Wenbo naturally knew the quirky nature of this girl. Although she was young, she was very smart. It was a pity that she was a girl, otherwise he would have probably accepted her as his disciple by then.

However, Huang Xilin is also very good.

It's a good material for studying.

Huang Mulin was eating the dishes from the banquet, and they had lost their flavor because they were cold. No wonder Yang Lijun let her eat some biscuits and dried fruits in the car. If she didn't eat enough, she would be hungry.

But Yang Lijun was worrying too much.

Although these dishes have lost their original flavor, Huang Mulin has never been a picky eater since her previous life. As long as she can eat it without getting upset, she is willing to eat it.

She never wastes food.

During the banquet, some people who were on good terms with Yu Zhenzhou came over to say hello. Huang Mulin responded with sweet smiles and even flattered them a little, making everyone laugh.

Everyone praised Huang Mulin for being smart and cute, saying that she would definitely become the object of marriage for many young men in the future.

Although Huang Mulin had a smile on his face, he was complaining in his heart.

She was only six years old, yet this was related to adult marriage. The ancients' way of thinking was indeed stereotyped.

But she also forgot that this was in ancient times, and women could get engaged even if they were not married. What's more, she was the princess of a county and had the support of the powerful Duke of Zhenguo. Many people were interested in her.

But she hadn't thought about this yet, and Yang Lijun and Yu Zhenzhou didn't mention it to her for the time being.

It is their responsibility to let their children grow up happily.

Of course, besides those with good relationships, there are also those with bad relationships.

A third-rank official, Meng Shirui, the Chancellor of the Chancellery.

Meng Shirui's ancestors for eight generations had served as officials in Beijing. He was a native of the capital and had looked down on outsiders since he was a child, especially military generals like Yu Zhenzhou who came out of nowhere and had no family background.

Literati and military generals have been two camps since ancient times.

On several occasions, Yu Zhenzhou ruthlessly refuted Meng Shirui at court meetings, and Meng Shirui held a grudge against him.

After that, Meng Shirui always liked to express different opinions from Yu Zhenzhou. The last time Yu Zhenzhou said he wanted to go to the border for investigation, it was Meng Shirui and several officials who had a good relationship with him who spoke out to stop him.

Now, he's looking for trouble again.

"Oh~ Congratulations, Duke." Meng Shirui was over fifty, and his fake smile looked like he deserved a beating: "Not only did you find the Duke's wife who you haven't seen for seven years, but you also got such a beautiful daughter. It's really a cause for celebration."

"Mr. Huang is six years old this year, right? This age is just right."

This statement has some special meaning.

"Thank you, Lord Meng." Yu Zhenzhou was not to be outdone: "I heard that Lord Meng had another baby a few days ago. He is still going strong despite his age~"

Meng Shirui raised his lips proudly: "No, no, I never thought I could have another son at this age, it's God's mercy."

Oh, is this based on the words spread by Yu Zhenzhou that people cannot have children?

When Huang Mulin came to Beijing, he heard Yu Zhenzhou talk about this matter and naturally knew the reason behind it.

But it is really unpleasant to be criticized in public for saying this.

"Grandpa, I see that your face is dark and your earlobes are dry. Do you also have sore waist and knees, dizziness, tinnitus, hair loss, loose teeth, and dry mouth? These are symptoms of kidney essence deficiency. It is not good to take strong medicine when you are old. You must be restrained."

As soon as Huang Mulin's crisp voice fell, the surroundings suddenly became eerily quiet.

Yu Zhenzhou and Yang Lijun tried hard to hold back their laughter. They looked at Meng Shirui, whose face turned from white to blue and then to black. If they hadn't pinched their palms, they would have probably been unable to hold back their laughter.

"you you......"

Meng Shirui was so shamelessly exposed by a six-year-old child...his hidden illness made his mind go blank, and he couldn't use his usual sharp teeth.

If I were to argue with her, it would be really hard for a fifty-year-old elder to criticize a child of a few years old.

If he kept silent, this glaring truth would make him too embarrassed to face anyone.

For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely awkward.

Several of Meng Shirui's followers held their breath, fearing that if they accidentally breathed heavily, Meng Shirui would turn around and vent his anger on them.

The abnormality here was quickly noticed by Li Jingchen and people who were a little further away.

In fact, since they entered the banquet venue tonight, many people have been silently paying attention to Yu Zhenzhou's adopted daughter who suddenly appeared out of nowhere: Huang Mulin.

Some people who were secretly observing happened not to miss Meng Shirui's provocation, and also noticed Huang Mulin's performance. Although she was young, she was beautiful and smart, and her future achievements were immeasurable.

"Lord Yu, Lord Meng, what interesting things did you talk about?"
