Transmigrated as a Peasant Baby Who is Pampered by All-Chapter 453 - 282: Found Favorites
This carriage is both wide and big, and the shock absorption is excellent. It took them a full half an hour to stop after leaving the city.
They estimated they had traveled more than ten kilometers.
"We’re here, we’re here, Xiaomi, hurry up, call your little brother, we’re heading into the mountains!"
Yingying almost jumped down directly and kept waving to the people on the carriage.
The people on another carriage, hearing the commotion, quickly let Wei Ziang get down first.
Yingying then looked at the head guard and said, "Uncle Zhang, you find a few people to stay here to protect my aunt and the others. These are my friends; don’t neglect them."
Uncle Zhang cupped his fists and accepted the order, "Don’t worry, Miss."
Then he pointed out a few people to lead Jiang Hu’s second mother and the others into the yard to rest, and then moved the things from the rear carriage into the lodge.
As for this lodge...
Xiaomi raised his head to look at the so-called lodge; it was even bigger than their home in Xiangmu Village!
The plaque on the door boldly said: Hunting Lodge!
Looking at the font, it was wild and rough, as if a person who could write but not carve had directly penned it with a large knife.
"Ziang." Second mother stopped Wei Ziang and handed him a firestarter, "Look after them and come back early."
Wei Ziang put away the firestarter, "Rest assured, aunt, I will take good care of Xiaomi."
Although knowing there were quite a few guards going along, they had brought bows and swords when leaving the city, certainly entering the forest together.
Moreover, Yingying’s family obviously came from an affluent or noble background. Her parents wouldn’t let her go out if it wasn’t safe.
But since they were someone else’s guards, they must still be careful.
Once the dozen or so guards were ready, Yingying raised her arm and called out, "Let’s go!"
Then she took Xiaomi by the hand and strode forward, while Xiaomi only had time to wave goodbye to those behind him.
Second mother shook her head; the more you suppress it, the more violently it erupts.
This young lady Yingying probably hadn’t been in the mountains for a long time, so she was so excited today, unlike their Xiaomi and Ziang, who practiced along the way to Fuzhou.
"Let’s go, second mother. The sun has come out, and it’s going to get hot soon. Let’s get inside."
Jiang Hu, after helping move a bag of grain, came out to find second mother.
This lodge was right in front of the forest, with mountains and water, but not very high. Compared to the big mountains around Fu’an Village and Xiangmu Village, this area was much flatter.
In just a short while, Yingying and Xiaomi and their group had disappeared into the mountain.
Second mother reluctantly turned around, "After all, it’s not our backyard, and with so few people around, who knows if there are any fierce beasts here."
Just as she said this, a guard passing by heard them.
"Don’t worry, both of you. Last night, my master already sent people to clear it overnight; the fierce beasts have been driven away, so Miss and the others won’t be in danger."
Jiang Hu and second mother were both stunned, "Cleared, cleared it?"
The guard nodded calmly, as if it were no big deal.
Jiang Hu and second mother exchanged a glance.
They suspected that Miss Yingying’s family was not simple, but now they felt that their previous estimations were somewhat lacking.
"Then can they still hunt? Driving away the wild beasts, the small animals might be scared away too, right?"
Jiang Wei appeared from who knows where, curiously staring at the guard.
The guard shook his head, "No, only the fierce beasts were driven off. The small animals mostly hid in caves and spent a quiet night. They surely have come out now."
"Oh, oh, that’s good. If sister can’t catch any game, she’ll be unhappy."
Jiang Wei was relieved.
His sister was such a capable person that if they went into the forest and came back empty-handed, she would surely be upset.
The guard went to move the last box.
"The few of you can come inside the lodge now; apart from the master and madam’s main house, you can wander everywhere else. Although this is a lodge, it’s always maintained, and the scenery in the yard is quite beautiful."
At this moment, Jiang Yu came out from inside.
"Excuse me, uncle, I saw there was a study in the lodge. Can we go in and take a look?"
Jiang Yu had just asked one of the guards in the yard, but that guard told him to ask the deputy captain, the one in front of him, so he came over again.
Although his family had some books, and while at the academy, the lecturers and the dean allowed them to read in their study.
But since they were now in Fuzhou, he was very curious and wanted to see if there were any books he hadn’t read.
Even if he couldn’t own them, at least he could have a look.
Seeing the deputy captain hesitate, Jiang Yu quickly said, "Don’t worry, I’ll be very careful and won’t damage the books inside. Of course, if it’s not allowed, then never mind."
The deputy captain shook his head, "It’s no bother; wait a moment, I’ll ask the steward."
Then he strode inside, and the others quickly followed, just in time to meet Liu Ze and Xiao Xue coming out.
The two of them had just gone inside for a look, and seeing that the others hadn’t caught up, they came back out.
Learning that Jiang Yu wanted to read in the study, they thought for a moment and followed.
Putting down the box, the deputy captain soon found the lodge’s steward and learned that the study didn’t contain any important secrets and could be viewed at any time. So, he let them go on their own.
Seeing there was still plenty of time before lunch, Jiang Hu and second mother decided to stroll leisurely around the yard.
The guard was right; the scenery in this lodge was indeed beautiful. With rockeries, flowing water, and flowers in full bloom, though none of the flowers were particularly exotic, they were equally pleasing to the eye!
The couple weren’t cultured enthusiasts and couldn’t provide any elegant appraisal, simply finding it beautiful and feeling much better for having seen it!
Jiang Hu looked at second mother, "Second mother, when we go back, let’s plant more flowers and plants in our yard."
Except for two plants Xiaomi had planted, their yard was still barren, apart from the small flowerbed in front of the kitchen for chives, onions, and garlic for convenience.
Second mother nodded, "I think it’s a good idea. Planting flowers and plants looks so nice."
Since Yingying specifically instructed that these were her friends and shouldn’t be neglected, as long as they didn’t enter the main house, no one stopped them from wandering, and if they stopped to admire any flowers or plants, the gardeners would kindly explain the varieties and how to plant and care for them.
The servants in this lodge mostly tended to the flowers and plants, ensuring the place was beautiful whenever the master and madam decided to visit.
They were very knowledgeable about nurturing and caring for flowers, at least for those in the yard. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
After walking around, the couple took a liking to two types: the roses, which came in various colors, covering large areas in bloom and looking spectacular.
And also the camellia tree, which, as the gardener said, blooms after entering winter and continues to bloom until March or April the following year!
