Chapter 8 【Chapter VII】

As the sky was getting dark, Feng Tingjie ordered to rest at the inn, and then go on the road tomorrow.After the waiter in the shop presented a table full of food, the three present, Feng Tingjie, Feng Tingwei and Niu Qiaoling, began to eat. Seeing that Feng Tingjie kept a dead face and said nothing, although Niu Qiaoling was the same as usual, he just lowered his head and ate with his head buried, without making a sound. The atmosphere at the dinner table was extremely dull, which made Feng Tingwei's appetite drop sharply, so he decided to try to boost the atmosphere.Of course, he understood his elder brother's indifference thoroughly, and he would not be so stupid as to kick that cold and hard iron plate.He planned to start with the good-tempered Niu Qiaoling.

I saw that he gave Niu Qiaoling a roasted duck wing, and said with a smile: "Try this roasted duck wing, it tastes great!" Niu Qiaoling immediately responded with a hearty smile: Thank you, Brother Wei. Um!It's a good start, Feng Tingwei stepped up and said: "Try it quickly, see if it suits your appetite?" good.Niu Qiaoling obediently took a bite, chewed slowly, swallowed down his throat slowly, and smiled slowly: "It's really delicious." Then eat more.Because of this, Feng Tingwei's mood improved, and his appetite also improved. Very good, if this continues, it will be fine in a while!

Feng Tingjie, who was watching this scene quietly, seeing Niu Qiaoling eating so happily, talked and laughed with Feng Tingwei, and did the same, without saying a word, he gave Niu Qiaoling a roasted duck wing. Sure enough, Niu Qiaoling picked up the roasted duck wing slowly, but instead of putting it into his mouth, he returned it to its original owner, and put the roasted duck wing into Feng Tingjie's bowl without making a sound.Afterwards, she slowly continued to eat the roasted duck wing that Feng Tingwei gave her, took a bite slowly, chewed slowly, swallowed slowly, and then spoke slowly to Feng Tingwei. He smiled and said: It's really delicious, thank you Brother Wei.

Feng Tingwei couldn't laugh at all!He strongly warned himself that he must not move his eyes indiscriminately, he could only look straight ahead, or look to the right, but he could not look to the left! Because sitting on the left is a man-eating Yasha who would scare away even lonely ghosts. The carriage continued to run in the direction of Fengjia Ranch, the wind outside the carriage was sunny and sunny, but the wind inside the carriage was miserable.Neither Feng Tingjie nor Niu Qiaoling spoke to each other. Niu Qiaoling kept chatting with Feng Tingwei, and Feng Tingwei also kept his eyes fixed on Niu Qiaoling, so as not to scare half of his soul away if he accidentally saw a scary Yasha that he shouldn't see.

But what he hopes most is to return to Fengjia Ranch as soon as possible. Since his mother was born, he has never been so homesick like this moment. God bless!Let me get out of the body and go back to Fengjia Ranch without incident Feng Tingwei was very glad that he was lucky enough to return to the lovely Fengjiazhuang alive, instead of being frightened to death on the way.As smart as he is, he knows that Fengjia Ranch will become a dangerous place and it is not suitable to stay for a long time. So, he didn't even dare to take a breather, so he quickly jumped on his beloved horse and said: I have something urgent to go to the Chasing Wind Ranch, and I won't be returning to my home for the time being.After that, he ran away quickly!

Unaware of the imminent disaster, Feng Tingyang greeted him enthusiastically, and asked Feng Tingjie about the results of the fair: Brother, how are things going? Feng Tingjie was expressionless, and silently took care of the matter at hand, as if Feng Tingyang's people and words were nothing but air. Niu Qiaoling was very enthusiastic and took the initiative to answer Feng Tingyang's question slowly: Brother Yang, let me tell you!We returned with a full load this time, and bought back all the best breeding cattle in the market! Very good!Brother, you are really capable! Feng Tingjie still had a icy face and didn't make a sound.

At this time, both Feng Tingyang and Tong Lian and his wife beside him realized that something was wrong. The three of them looked at you, looked at me, hesitated for a while, and asked Feng Tingyang: "Brother, Qiaoling, what happened?"Feng Tingyang suddenly remembered that the appearance of Feng Ting Wei Feiqi leaving just now was unusual, as if fleeing from disaster, so he was even more convinced that something was wrong! fine!Feng Tingjie finally opened his golden mouth. There must be something!Both Feng Tingyang and Tong Lian were very determined.However, like Feng Tingwei, they are familiar with Feng Tingjie's temperament, so they are as clever as Feng Tingwei to start with Niu Qiaoling.

Qiaoling, did you encounter any strange things on the road?Feng Tingyang pulled Niu Qiaoling aside and asked in a low voice. Tong Lian and his wife naturally joined in. Niu Qiaoling thought for a while, then slowly shook his head and said: No! Then do you know what happened to Big Brother? Niu Qiaoling shook his head. Then can you ask Brother Yang? not good.Niu Qiaoling answered this very simply. Feng Tingyang and Tong Lian were very surprised that the always good-tempered Niu Qiaoling would refuse this request. Why? Because I have decided not to talk to my husband again unless he apologizes to me for his gaffe.Although Niu Qiaoling spoke slowly and without any momentum, he spoke every word very clearly, which would never be misheard.

Therefore, Feng Tingyang and Tong Lian didn't even have a chance to mistakenly think that they had heard wrongly. what on earth is it?The three asked in unison. Niu Qiaoling refused to answer, and only said: You should ask my husband. There are ghosts if you dare to ask!The three of them screamed in their hearts. It seems that this matter can only be asked by Feng Tingwei who has already escaped. The three Feng family brothers and Niu Qiaoling sat on the magnificent square dining table in the dining room of Feng's family tonight.Facing the south, Feng Tingjie, who was covered in frost, was sitting alone, and the seat opposite him was empty, no one dared to sit.Niu Qiaoling sat alone facing east, and on the opposite side of her was squeezed the brothers and sisters Feng Tingyang and Feng Tingwei.

Feng Tingyang, who rushed to the Zhuifeng Ranch to ask Feng Tingwei, once he knew the ins and outs of the whole incident, carried forward the essence of sharing blessings and suffering together, entangled his brother, and dragged him to death. I was dragged back to Fengjiazhuang to go home together.Poor Feng Tingwei, he finally escaped from the world, but he didn't expect to go back to hell so soon, what a miserable life! Wan Shan's atmosphere was worse than what Feng Tingyang and his brothers expected.However, with Feng Tingwei's lessons learned first, the two brothers would rather suffer from indigestion than try to be smart enough to cheer up the atmosphere.Of course, they were very careful not to look to the right to see the gate of ghosts, they couldn't see it!

Niu Qiaoling didn't realize the plight of Feng Tingyang and Feng Tingwei at all, out of goodwill, he picked up a chicken leg for each of them, and strongly recommended: I specially asked Tong Ma to cook this, a real Jiangnan famous dish!Brother Yang and Brother Wei, please taste it, it is different from the northern cuisine!Niu Qiaoling's eyes were full of anticipation, he looked straight at Feng Tingyang and Feng Tingwei who were sitting opposite him, but he didn't look at Feng Tingjie, the master of the Ghost Sect. Feng Tingyang and Feng Tingwei only felt that there was a strong murderous aura coming from the ghost gate, which made people feel like they were sitting on pins and needles and couldn't eat.But facing Niu Qiaoling's naive and blatant expectations, they couldn't bear to disappoint her, so they had to bite the bullet and took a bite of the chicken leg. Is it tasty?Niu Qiaoling asked eagerly. Um!The two brothers forced a smile to answer. That's great, since you guys like it, come tomorrow, I'll ask Mama Tong to make another famous Jiangnan dish for you to try. The two brothers replied with stiff smiles that this is the smartest choice at this moment.Answered, Niu Qiaoling will continue to talk, the murderous aura from the ghost gate will be even stronger.He didn't answer, but felt sorry for the enthusiastic Niu Qiaoling, the murderous aura coming from the ghost gate might not decrease. The dark clouds have been covering the Fengjia Ranch for more than ten days, but there is no sign of fading, but it seems to be getting thicker and thicker.No one in the Feng family, headed by Feng Tingjie, expected that Niu Qiaoling, who is gentle in action and gentle in temperament, would become so stubborn and persistent when he developed a bullish temper. At this moment, no one knows whether Niu Qiaoling will keep silent with Feng Tingjie, including Feng Tingjie himself. But Feng Tingjie is not a man who is willing to wait silently.Since Niu Qiaoling refused to talk to him, he tried to force her to take the initiative to talk to him! Feng Tingjie, who has always been extremely efficient, is no exception this time, he just does what he says It was a beautiful day with a clear sky. After Niu Qiaoling ate his breakfast slowly, he went to the cow area to find the little boy who loves the cow, and was going to take him to graze.However, when they arrived at Xiaoguai's special barn, Xiaoguai was nowhere to be seen. Coincidentally, the deacon of the cattle house passed by, and Niu Qiaoling asked him, "Where's my little boy?" According to Feng Tingjie's instructions, the deacon of the cattle house replied: I don't know, only the head of the family knows. Niu Qiaoling was not discouraged, and walked slowly to ask the supervisor Tong Lian: Uncle Tong, do you know where the little girl is? Tong Lian's answer was exactly the same as that of Niu She Deacon: I don't know, only the head of the house knows. Niu Qiaoling didn't give up, and slowly went to Feng Tingyang to inquire: "Brother Yang, do you know where the little boy is?" Feng Tingyang's answer was still the same: I don't know, only my eldest brother knows. Niu Qiaoling was very patient and decided to ask Feng Tingwei. Looking at her slowly moving petite back, Feng Tingyang couldn't bear it, and told her kindly: If you ask Tingwei or Tong Ma, or anyone in Fengjia Ranch, you will only get the same answer.If you really want to get Xiaoguai back, stop pissing off at Big Brother and ask Big Brother! Niu Qiaoling didn't change his original intention: I don't want it. In the past ten or so days, Feng Tingjie is in the best mood today.Today he specially stayed in Fengjiazhuang and did not go out.After breakfast, he went to the account room, checked the account book calmly, and waited for Niu Qiaoling to come to beg him. The thought of being able to talk to that girl made Feng Tingjie's mood soar. come quickly!girl. But people are not as good as God.Feng Tingjie waited from early morning until noon, then from the fifth day to dusk, until the first lights came on, but still did not wait for Niu Qiaoling's arrival. The unexpected development made Feng Tingjie furious and kicked over the desk in the tent. Mama Tong, let's serve dinner!Feng Ting left the tent angrily, walked into the dining room with a fierce look and sat down. He was sure that Niu Qiaoling would definitely show up, because Tong Ma would definitely coax Niu Qiaoling to the dining room to eat. After a while, Niu Qiaoling really appeared, and came in by himself. Seeing this, Feng Tingjie rekindled hope, waiting for Niu Qiaoling to ask him where the squinting-eyed and crooked-mouthed cow was going.And he'd tell her if she asked. Holding a large stack of rice paper, Niu Qiaoling slowly moved it in front of Feng Tingjie, slowly put a note in warm handwriting that said "Return Xiaoguai", then turned and left the dining room. Shocked and annoyed, Feng Tingjie roughly grabbed the note that said return Xiaoguai, and rubbed it off vigorously. Early the next morning, something terrible happened!As soon as Feng Tingjie opened his sleepy eyes, he saw that the dormitory was covered with notes written in Wen Tun's handwriting to return the little girl. Walking out of the door, at a glance, the pillars of the entire corridor are all plastered with meek notes to return Xiaoguai. Feng Tingjie rushed to the front hall, and suddenly found that there were also lukewarm notes posted all over the hall to return the little boy. To confirm, Feng Tingjie walked into the dining room to check. As he expected, the dining room was also covered with notes to return Xiaoguai. Facing the notes all over the room, Feng Tingjie was really dumbfounded. He didn't know whether to be angry or admire Niu Qiaoling's perseverance? What about clever people? After posting all the notes, the eldest grandma went to Xiaoguai's cowshed.After Tong's mother answered, she couldn't bear it and said again: "Eldest young master, you can return the little girl to the eldest young mistress!" yes!Brother, return Xiaoguai to Qiaoling!Qiaoling's eyes were red and swollen from crying, so pitiful, Feng Tingyang and Feng Tingwei also helped to persuade. Even Tong Lian helped Niu Qiaoling to speak: Eldest young master, please return that cow to eldest grandma!You clearly know that the cow is the sweetheart brought by the eldest grandma from her natal family, so why bother to make her feel anxious and sad? Feng Tingjie waved his right hand to signal everyone to shut up. Everyone knew that it was useless to talk too much, so we had to give up. Feng Tingjie went to Xiaoguai's special cowshed without saying a word. As soon as he entered the cowshed, he saw Niu Qiaoling curled up in the haystack, weeping secretly. Seeing her crying heartbroken, her watery eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her small body curled up helplessly, trembling constantly.Feng Tingjie's heart suddenly filled with boundless sin and intolerance. He quietly walked into Niu Qiaoling's side, squatted down quietly, his huge body leaned gently on Niu Qiaoling's small fragrant body, put his lips close to Niu Qiaoling's ear, and whispered with rare tenderness: "It's all me." No, don't cry, I'll take you to see Xiaoguai later, okay? Niu Qiaoling cried even more when he heard it, but finally he was willing to speak: You are good or bad, you are good or bad Yes yes yes, I'm bad, I'm the worst!Feng Tingjie couldn't hide his love and compassion, and hugged her fiercely into his arms, pampering her tenderly. The embarrassment of vomiting that lasted fifteen days finally came to a successful conclusion. After a night of violent wind and rain, several stables, cattle houses and sheep houses in Fengjia Ranch were damaged.The head of the family, Feng Tingjie, directed the ranch's subordinates to work early in the morning and started the restoration work. In the afterglow of the sunset, the entire reconstruction work has been roughly completed except for a few top stallions that escaped last night and have not yet been found.Feng Tingjie decided to go out in person to catch the escaped horse. Before leaving, Niu Qiaoling smiled sweetly at him and said: I'll have dinner with you when you come back. Hearing this, Feng Tingjie unconsciously softened her eyes, and lightly pinched her pink cheeks, I'll be back soon! Seeing the two of them flirting with each other, and you talking about each other, everyone is even more sure that the rain is over and the sky is clear. After Feng Tingjie left, Niu Qiaoling stayed in the dining room, enjoying herself watching Tong's mother busy. The sky was getting dark, and in a blink of an eye, thousands of lights were already on.Feng Tingjie and his party did not return for a long time. Tong Majian's dinner time was more than half past, so she followed Feng Tingjie's instructions in advance and said to Niu Qiaoling: "Mistress, it's getting late, why don't you eat first!" It's okay, I'll eat together when Ting Jie comes back. Niu Qiaoling's intentions Tong's mother was very happy, but her young master was afraid that she would not want her precious wife to starve for him, so she dutifully persuaded: "Young lady, you should eat first!"Before the young master left, he specifically told me that if he came back late, he wanted me to serve the young mistress for dinner first, instead of waiting for him. Niu Qiaoling slowly shook his head persistently, and said again: I'm not hungry yet, let's wait for Tingjie to come back! The young lady, Tong Ma, tried to persuade her again without giving up.Niu Qiaoling was completely unmoved and insisted to the end: I have already made an appointment with Ting Jie, so I must wait for him. A few days ago, I saw Niu Qiaoling's bullish temper, so Mama Tong knew that it was useless to talk too much, so she no longer wasted her time, so she simply sat down and chatted with Niu Qiaoling to pass the time. The moon and stars are sparse, and everything is silent. Unknowingly, the exposure became deeper and heavier, and Mama Tong also dozed off several times. Seeing this, Niu Qiaoling said considerately: Mama Tong, it's late at night, go to bed first!Do not accompany me. Tong Ma hurriedly replied: I'm not sleepy, but it's time for you to rest, young mistress. Niu Qiaoling still shook his head, I have to wait for Tingjie. Her unrepentant persistence made Tong Ma secretly complain about her master who had been late What's the matter, young master?It's midnight and I haven't come back yet!I can't find the horse, so I'll just go and look for it at dawn tomorrow. Why do you have to search in the dark tonight, causing the young lady to starve and wait? Raising his eyes suddenly, the eastern sky was already pale.The first rooster crows in the morning followed by the crowing. After a while, the sound of horseshoes came from far and near. Tong Ma heard the sound and ran outside to check, and finally saw Feng Tingjie's figure. Young Mistress, Young Master is back!Tong Ma hurried back to the dining room to announce the good news to Niu Qiaoling. Tong's mother kept her mouth shut, and Feng Tingjie followed into the door, rushed straight into the dining room, and yelled along the way: "Tong's mother, hurry up for breakfast!" Seeing Niu Qiaoling sitting quietly at the dining table by accident, Feng Tingjie was quite surprised, and immediately said good morning to her: I woke up very early today. Tong's mother couldn't help feeling sorry for Niu Qiaoling when she heard the words, and told the truth: the young lady didn't wake up very early, but she hasn't slept since she waited for the young master last night, and she hasn't even eaten last night's dinner! Feng Tingjie was stunned, and asked angrily in extreme displeasure: "Mama Tong, what's going on?" Tong's mother just wanted to criticize her master again, but Niu Qiaoling said first: Ting Jie, don't be cruel to Tong's mother, Tong's mother stayed with me all night, it was so hard! The heartache fueled Feng Tingjie's anger: you stupid girl, why don't you eat dinner and don't sleep? Feng Tingjie was extremely angry, he clearly told Tong Ma that she would take good care of her. Tong's mother couldn't help speaking uprightly again, speaking for Niu Qiaoling: The young lady is waiting for the young master specially, who knows that the young master will go all night!I also persuaded the young mistress many times, but the young mistress refused to eat or go to sleep by herself, she had to wait for the young master to come back to have dinner together. The young mistress has such a heart for the young master, so the young master should take advantage of it yes! Feng Tingjie was very moved when he heard the words, but even more heartbroken.Why are you so stupid?There was a lot less anger in his tone. Niu Qiaoling innocently said frankly: Because we made an appointment to have dinner together, of course I can't break the agreement! A simple answer caused Feng Tingjie to be shocked, his heart was turbulent, and he was unable to speak for a long time.When she spoke again, there was no anger, but a rare tenderness: Mama Tong, send the dinner quickly!He especially emphasized dinner. Tong's mother replied loudly knowingly: "Obey!"I'm off to pass on dinner. At this moment, Feng Tingjie secretly swore an oath: from now on, no matter what happens, he will come back on time to have dinner with Niu Qiaoling! On this day, the three brothers of the Feng family were summoned to Beijing to tame the mounts for the imperial concubines, leaving Niu Qiaoling and the manager Tong Lian to stay at the Feng family ranch.Originally, Niu Qiaoling wanted to go with her, but Feng Tingjie was afraid that she would be bullied by the pampered concubines in the palace, so she refused to let her go with her.Seeing his persistence, Niu Qiaoling gave up. Since all three brothers in charge were absent, Tong Lian and his wife were naturally several times busier than usual. Niu Qiaoling didn't want Tong's mother to be distracted from serving her in her busy schedule, so she went to the cowshed to play with Aniu Xiaoguai, took Xiaoguai around, and helped patrol the cattle area by the way. Xiao Guai looked for a delicious lawn and stopped to enjoy it.Niu Qiaoling massaged the little boy's feet while he was grazing to prevent his old cramp from recurring. Niu Qiaoling was so focused that she didn't notice a man and a woman looking at her not far away. The master and wife of the Feng family, who came back from a tour, noticed Niu Qiaoling and Xiaoguai from a distance. Master Feng muttered to himself in bewilderment: Who put such a big doll under the shade of the tree?Really! Mrs. Feng immediately corrected: Master, that is not a puppet, look!she can move. is she moving?Why can't I see it?Master Feng couldn't stop screaming strangely. Mrs. Feng said again: That's because you didn't look carefully enough. If you look carefully, you will find that she is moving. Master Feng opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and looked carefully: Yay! ?It's really moving! At this time, Niu Qiaoling finally found the couple.She paused for a moment, then took further steps and slowly walked towards the master and wife of the Feng family. Master Feng observed for a long time before realizing Niu Qiaoling's intention: that girl seems to be coming over to greet us. yes!Mrs. Feng smiled in agreement. After confirming Niu Qiaoling's intentions, Master Feng was in a lot of trouble: that girl walked so slowly, you can't see that she is moving unless you look carefully. At her speed, I'm afraid it will be dark when she walks in front of us. So, the master wants us to go and meet her? of course not!How can there be any reason in the world for parents-in-law to see their daughter-in-law first?It turned out that the couple knew Niu Qiaoling's identity from the very beginning. Mrs. Feng smiled indifferently and said: That's right.Then let's sit down and rest, and slowly wait for our daughter-in-law to come to see us! Master Feng thought about it for a while, and decided to listen to his wife's advice and sit down and wait slowly.Mrs. Feng also sat on the ground. The couple observed Niu Qiaoling with great interest, while drinking tea and eating melon seeds and chatting. I said madam!What do you think of our daughter-in-law? The letters that Tong Lian sent to us every day are clearly written, so why should the master ask more questions?It all depends on whether the master likes it or not. Master Feng sighed with mixed feelings: She is the daughter of the Niu family, the Niu family who has been at odds with our Feng family for generations! so what? Master Feng has been worrying about this matter: I don't know how to treat this daughter-in-law! When the marriage was finalized, he and Niu Qiaoling had never met before, so naturally he could treat Niu Qiaoling with the Feng family's usual hostile attitude towards the Niu family.But now it's different.Tong Lian's daily letter gave him a deep understanding of Niu Qiaoling except that he hadn't met him yet.She is a rare good girl and should not be treated badly because of the unnecessary prejudice and hatred between the two families.But the Feng family's ancestral prejudice against the Niu family made him unable to ignore it. Compared with Mr. Feng's distress and conflicts, Mrs. Feng's attitude is much more willful: I don't think there is any difficulty in this, it all depends on the master's likes and dislikes.Treat her well if you like it, bully her if you don't like it.But if the master bullies our daughter-in-law, he must be prepared to be severed by our eldest son. Master Feng complained angrily: It seems that Madam is very satisfied with this slow-moving daughter-in-law from the Niu family! Mrs. Feng stated bluntly: I really like this girl.I already liked it after reading the letter, and now I like it even more after reading it. What is it about this slow-moving girl that wins madam's favor? Just seeing her slow-moving appearance is interesting enough, what's more, even our shrewd and capable eldest son who is a master of the mall is tamed by this girl, I just imagine her and Ting Jie together I couldn't help laughing, it was so funny.Tong Lian's daily letter has already become her daily pleasure when traveling in mountains and rivers. Although Master Feng felt the same way, he still couldn't let go. Just as he was still struggling, Niu Qiaoling finally came to them. Niu Qiaoling opened his innocent eyes wide, first looked carefully at Master Feng for a while, then slowly turned his head, and looked at Mrs Feng carefully for a while.After that, she paused for another moment. After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, she had a new movement, the slow-moving second elder of Xiangfeng's family, blessed her body, and greeted her tenderly: daughter-in-law Niu Qiaoling pays respects to her father and mother. The Feng family couple looked at each other and asked curiously: How do you know who we are?When they returned home, they clearly confessed that Tong Lian and his wife were not allowed to report the news, and during this period of time, no one except them and his wife had approached Niu Qiaoling, and none of their three sons looked like them. Niu Qiaoling, who had never seen them before, probably didn't know them. Niu Qiaoling replied with a frank smile: I don't know, but I just know. It's very strange that just such an insignificant and gentle words made Master Feng feel relieved. Okay, okay, dear daughter-in-law, let's go back to the house and talk together!Master Feng smiled heartily. Although the journey back to Fengjiazhuang will be a long and slow road
