Country Maiden: Fields and Fortune-Chapter 452

451: The Prisoner’s Very

Jiang Hongyan nodded at the words.

His Highness Prince Han was indeed quite impressive.

Loved by the people and respected by soldiers.

Seeing the two women dare not say much more, she did not make things difficult for them and waved her hand to indicate they could leave. Only then did she sit on the heated brick bed alone, waiting for her hair to dry before going to sleep.

But having rushed about for just half a day, she was still too tired. Leaning on the pillow, Jiang Hongyan thought of Xie Zhinuan, whom she had never met, and smiled.

Quickly hopping off the bed, she put on her clothes and walked over to the wall, knocking, “Yuanbao, have you gone to sleep?”

“…”

Yuanbao, who was warming himself by the fire, was startled by the sound and replied, “Not yet, I’m warming myself up by the fire!”

“Then can I come over and chat for a bit?” Jiang Hongyan hurriedly asked.

“…”

Yuanbao let out a sigh.

Miss Xie, they had already talked many times.

Ever since she found out that her life-saving benefactor was a lady, Jiang Hongyan didn’t dare go to Li Hengyi, so she went to Yuanbao instead to talk about Xie Zhinuan.

“I’m going to sleep, let’s talk another day!” Yuanbao quickly said, hurriedly burrowing into the covers.

She might not say it out loud, but Yuanbao was actually quite annoyed with Jiang Hongyan.

“…”

Jiang Hongyan furrowed her brows and huffed coldly.

She turned around and went back to the heated brick bed to wait for her hair to dry, “Stingy!”

In recent days, life had not been as elaborate as it was in the Marquis’s mansion in the capital. She didn’t have maids or servants to wait on her, and had to do everything herself, but she enjoyed this sense of galloping freely on horseback.

The capital was a nest of riches and honor, but it was too rigid. It was not as free as life on the frontier, where one could live freely and unreservedly.

Once her hair was dry.

Jiang Hongyan thought of the joy on Xie Zhinuan’s face when she received her gift and smiled foolishly to herself before falling asleep holding the corner of the quilt.

As for whether the quilt had been used by others, when she was on duty at the frontier, she had even slept on the ground and had endured hardships. Only then did she realize how precious it was to have a warm place to sleep soundly.

Yuanbao waited on the bed for a while, and when she no longer heard Jiang Hongyan’s voice, she let out a gentle sigh and closed her eyes to sleep.

Thinking that she might be punished by the master when they returned the next day.

But it would have been troublesome if Jiang Hongyan had run off alone and something had happened.

The brave Great General’s little daughter, now the captain of a small squad of women soldiers, could not afford to have anything go wrong.

The next day, when she returned to the military camp, Yuanbao went to Li Hengyi to confess her faults. Li Hengyi looked at her and did not punish her, simply saying, “Go on down!”

A girl can act impulsively, and it would have been too heartless of Yuanbao if she knew about it and did not follow.

Besides, Yuanbao was not young anymore, and the matter of settling down should also be put on the agenda. One cannot be alone forever, without even a close companion by their side.

He considered himself a good master indeed.

As Li Hengyi thought this, he couldn’t help but think of Xie Zhinuan again.

He had never been infatuated with a woman and did not know what it felt like to be in love, but thinking of her far away like this was also indescribably sweet.

After the fifteenth of the first lunar month.

Things in Fengping County clearly livened up. Although the business of the marinated meat shop declined a bit, the noodle shop and restaurant businesses boomed. Plus, the vegetables, radishes, chickens, ducks, fish, and the supplies from the manor and Zhu Family’s father and sons were quite sufficient, and the goods they needed to buy were mostly spices. So the money they made was still plentiful.

After deducting various expenses, if Xie Zhinuan spoke of making less money in this Fengping County, she’d probably be laughed at.

She wanted to grow her fortune quietly. Initially, she had thought of collecting old clothes to resell, but many people were reluctant to sell their old clothes, so such a business would not last long. Instead, she decided to open a Starch Washing Shop.
