Chapter 131 The Duke of the Guard is an unruly old man
The old man in front of her turned out to be the Duke of Protector of the Country Shangguan Zhenhua, whom she had been waiting for for a long time.
Ye Tang couldn't help but glance at Shangguan Zhenhua twice.
The other person was dressed sloppily, with messy hair, and although his face was clean, he did not look like the mighty and domineering Protector of the Country in the legend. Instead, he looked like a frivolous old naughty boy.
Since this old man is the Duke of Protectorate, why did he ask her to take him in and play tricks on her?
Ye Tang's expression suddenly turned cold.
Shangguan Zhenhua was unaware of this. He glared at Tao Quan angrily and said, "Prince Xian, why did you tell her my identity?"
Doctor Zhang, who had not been able to get a word in, said: "......"
Idle, idle, idle king?
Lord Tao is a prince?
His legs trembled and he almost fell to his knees.
Tao Quan waved his hand at Doctor Zhang: "Just pretend you didn't hear anything and go about your business."
Doctor Zhang immediately returned to his consultation seat.
Tao Quan, oh, it should be Gongsun Tianhua, he looked at Shangguan Zhenhua helplessly: "Before you pestered Miss Ye, didn't you find out clearly in advance, she is Ye Tang!"
"Ye Tang, what Ye Tang? I don't know him. Wait." Shangguan Zhenhua paused and subconsciously touched the long wooden box hanging on his body: "I seem to have heard of this name."
A guard stepped forward and whispered in his ear: "Ye Tang is the amazing woman who made white sugar."
Shangguan Zhenhua widened his eyes and turned to look at Ye Tang.
Ye Tang smiled slightly: "Duke Protector of the Country, you really made me wait so long! Do you think it's fun to tease me?"
Shangguan Zhenhua smiled awkwardly: "I'm not kidding you."
Ye Tang sneered: "You have been farming in the countryside for decades. Are you sure you are farming, not killing people?"
Gongsun Tianhua shouted, "Miss Ye, how can you talk to the Duke?"
The guards also scolded.
"You little girl, you are so unbridled."
Ye Tang was not afraid at all: "Only the Duke is allowed to lie, but the people are not allowed to tell the truth?"
Several guards were getting angry again.
Shangguan Zhenhua raised his hand to stop them: "Shut up."
He smiled and said to Ye Tang: "Yes, yes, but I didn't mean it. I just thought it was interesting. Forget it, forget it. Let's not talk about it anymore. Now that we have met, let's accept the imperial edict!"
Ye Tang was stunned. Didn't he say that this old man attached great importance to rules? Shouldn't he be very cautious and careful when accepting such a major event as the imperial edict?
Why do we have to give the imperial edict in the street now?
Gongsun Tianhua said hurriedly: "It's not convenient on the street, let's go to my palace first."
He winked at Ye Tang, signaling her to stop.
Ye Tang rolled his eyes in displeasure.
Gongsun Tianhua looked helpless.
Shangguan Zhenhua chuckled: "The little woman has a bad temper."
He looked at Ye Tang, then at Gongsun Tianhua: "Are you two familiar with each other?"
Ye Tang was too lazy to talk to him.
Gongsun Tianhua said, "I got her sugar, how can I not be familiar with it? All right, old Protector of the Country, you've had enough fun, stop bothering us, let's go, let's go to my house first."
When they arrived at Prince Xian's mansion, Shangguan Zhenhua asked Ye Tang to kneel down and receive the order.
Ye Tang really didn't want to kneel, but due to this damn rule, he had no choice but to kneel.
Shangguan Zhenhua read out the imperial edict and asked the guards to bring up the rewards.
When he encountered the assassin that day, he took the opportunity to get rid of his personal guards. All the rewards were escorted by his personal guards, and he carried the imperial edict with him himself. This thing must not be lost, and it was safest for him to carry it with him.
After traveling for many days, he finally arrived in Wutong County. He thought he could play there for a few more days, but he never expected that his personal guards would find him so soon.
Ye Tang received the gold and the imperial edict, and finally a smile appeared on his face.
She was going home immediately.
Gongsun Tianhua said: "I will send someone to take you back."
Shangguan Zhenhua waved his hand and said, "You don't need to send anyone. I will send her back myself. It's a good opportunity to go to Qingquan Village and take a look."
Ye Tang paused and looked back at him: "Qingquan Village is very dirty and messy, there is nothing, and there are a lot of evil people. I am afraid that it will offend the Duke. It is better for the Duke not to go there."
Shangguan Zhenhua didn't care about her attitude: "You don't want me to go, but I will go anyway."
Ye Tang couldn't persuade him, so he had to let him go.
After leaving Prince Xian's Mansion, Ye Tang took the carriage prepared by the mansion to Baiwei Fresh Food, intending to change to his own carriage and then return to Qingquan Village.
As soon as Ye Tang got on the carriage, he threw all the gold into the seed space while no one was watching, leaving only the empty box.
It is safest to keep this thing in a space. When you get home, just put it back in the box and let your family take a look at it.
Shangguan Zhenhua's carriage also caught up with Ye Tang's carriage.
Seeing Ye Tang entering Baiwei Fresh, Shangguan Zhenhua also got out of the car and walked into Baiwei Fresh to have a look.
It’s okay if you don’t go shopping, but once you enter, you can’t help yourself.
As soon as he and his guards entered the door, they saw all kinds of food.
Cereals, various rice noodles, tofu, braised food, and fruits, both raw and cooked.
There are also waiters preparing food for the guests.
Shangguan Zhenhua saw the small plate for tasting and tried a little with a bamboo stick. After one bite, he felt full of energy and couldn't help eating bite after bite.
The waiter came over with a smile and said, "Sir, what you are tasting is our Baiwei Fresh Spicy Chicken. We only supply ten chickens a day, and each pound costs twenty coins. Would you like to buy some to try?"
Shangguan Zhenhua waved his hand and said, "Give me one."
"This is Ye's braised food."
"Give me a pound of pig head, half a pound of pig tongue, a pig ear, braised peanuts, braised tofu, braised chicken feet... give me a pound of each."
"Give me one pound of this, too."
"I want that too."
"what is this?"
"Toothbrushes are used for brushing teeth. They are much better than willow branches. They are only sold at Baiwei Fresh."
"One for me, and a piece of osmanthus soap, too. What is this?"
"Potato chips, try some."
"It's crispy and spicy. It's really delicious. I want two pounds. What's the red thing on the potato?"
"chili."
"What is chili?"
Shangguan Zhenhua bought everything he saw and found everything curious. He didn't even notice that Ye Tang got into the carriage and left. Not only did he not notice, but his personal guards didn't notice either, as they were all immersed in the fresh food.
By the time they reacted, Ye Tang was almost at Qingquan Village.
"This little woman didn't even wait for me." Shangguan Zhenhua was gnawing on the braised pork trotter angrily. "I'm going to book Qingquan Village today."
"Master, it's getting dark. Where are we going to stay in Qingquan Village?"
They entered the village safely and the carriage stopped at the door of their home. Ye Tang put the gold back into the box, got off the carriage in a very good mood, holding the box and the imperial edict, and strode into the house.
"My daughter is back!" Ye Peng, who was practicing martial arts in the yard, saw her at a glance. Seeing that she was holding something in her hand, he hurried over to take it.
"It's quite heavy. What's in it?"
Ye Tang whispered in his ear: "Gold."
Ye Peng was stunned and subconsciously hugged the box tightly.
"Come on, come on, go inside."
He walked quickly into the house carrying the box.
Ye Tang followed him in, and Ye Peng put down the box and closed the door.
Ye Pingan was looking at the account book: "Sister, I think something is wrong here..."
Ye Tang walked over and said, "Don't worry about the account book for now. I have something good to show you. Come here quickly."
She looked around: "Where's your brother-in-law?"
"not at home."
"Then forget about it. Come on, open the box."
Ye Ping'an obediently opened the box, and then saw a box of gold, which almost dazzled him.
"Sister, I'm not dreaming!" Ye Ping'an covered his mouth, resisting the urge to scream.
"It's not a dream, it's real." Ye Tang opened the wooden box containing the imperial edict: "I met the Duke of Protectorate in the county, and he gave me the imperial edict and the reward."
Ye Tang told them about Shangguan Zhenhua, and concluded, "This Protector of the Country is an old man who is not serious. He is a liar who likes to pretend to be pitiful. He is not as majestic as the legend says. I am very disappointed with him. He said he would come to Qingquan Village. I don't think this is a good thing. You must be careful when you see him. Who knows what bad intentions he has."
They were chatting excitedly and counting the gold happily over and over again, but they didn't know that a carriage was slowly approaching the door of Xiao's house.
