His Peasant Wife : Yao Ling

Chapter 155 The Preparation 1

They already prepared everything beforehand for their journey. They needed to be efficient due to the time limit for the journey so Yao Ling would only bring Xiao Yu along with her, while Yao Ying would only bring Xiu. Xiao Er was given the task to take care of her courtyard, along with Xiao Xia and Xiao Ai. They were told to pay attention to the movement inside the household and Xiao Yu’s job to take care of Liu Li would become Xiao Er’s jobs. They needed to maintain their relationship with Liu Li, however, they couldn’t openly take her from Concubine Wan so this was the only thing that they could do.

Yao Ying could only trust Feng, so he was also left to handle matters in Wang Fu. Wang Luo Hai also already prepared a few shadow guards for Yao Ling, making Yao Ying feel better. After all, he also worried about Yao Ling’s wellbeing. If there were some brewing troubles in the mission, at least he wouldn’t be in a panic and knew that the shadow guards would protect her too. Feng was also reminded not to forget about the kids’ martial arts training.

True to his words, Wang Luo Hai called a qujin master and surprisingly Yao Ling has raw talent in playing qujin. She was able to play some simple songs although her hands were still a bit stiff and a few mistakes here and there. However, it was already a miracle for her to be able to achieve such things when only learning for a few days. The qujin master even willingly waited for her to come back and continued teaching her, despite his busy schedule. This was the first time he found a genius prodigy, so he wouldn’t let this talented girl go.

Yao Ying and Wang Luo Hai were in awe because of her newfound talents. They didn’t understand why she was always so easily learning every thing. Her lesson with Zhang Mo Mo had been stopped because she was already good enough and her manner was more elegant than before. She was able to achieve the goal in such a short time, besides they didn’t aim to send her to the palace, so there was no need for her to learn in details. Now, she’s also learning to play qujin in such a short time. However, they soon found out that Yao Ling was actually not-so-perfect.

Because Yao Ling was actually really bad at riding a horse. It seems like her talent is only on the art side, for sports... she has no talent whatsoever. When they started their journey from the village to An Yang City, they were not in a hurry, so they didn’t ride a horse. Thus, they didn’t know that her riding horse skill was that bad! Yao Ling didn’t feel afraid when she went near the horse, but somehow she didn’t have an affiliation with the horse. Whenever she got close to the stupid horse, he would scoff at her or stomped its foot at Yao Ling in disdain.

Yao Ying who tried to teach her didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry. He could even see the electric gaze between Yao Ling and the horse. He already chose the most obedient horse and the smallest one, but somehow it also didn’t want to be ridden by Yao Ling. Even Wang Luo Hai was in awe with Yao Ling’s bad talent at riding horse.

Wang Luo Hai even laughed out loud and said, "It seems like you are actually a pretty normal girl. I always thought that you are too perfect and you have too many talents, however... it’s actually because we haven’t tried to look for what you are bad at."

Yao Ling pouted at Wang Luo Hai. "Father... I’m also speechless. Why do the horses seem to hate me?!" She looked at the most obedient horse in Wang Fu -- Bao Bao and she felt like crying. Even now... the horse looked at her in a hostile manner. Yao Ling thought to herself, ’I never offend you, Bao Bao. Why are you being like this?!’ The horse only scoffed at her and turned his head away.

"How do you plan to go if you aren’t able to ride a horse?" Wang Luo Hai asked helplessly.

"There’s still a few days left. Besides playing qujin, I will spend the rest of my time to bond with Bao Bao," Yao Ling said full of determination. She indeed followed her words wholeheartedly. Every day she would follow Bao Bao everywhere. The white horse sometimes felt annoyed and ran away from the clingy human by leaving her behind with a speck of dust.

Yao Ling tried every means possible -- enticing Bao Bao with food, giving him a bath but the result was she was wet from head to toe because the stupid horse kicked the bucket and the water fell directly on her. Xiao Yu was really helpless toward Young Mistress’ determination. Xiao Yu learned the skill from Xiu and it was so easy, she was also clueless what enmity that Young Mistress had with horses.

Yao Ling’s recent behavior even made the whole household laughed when looking at her. The first time it happened they were so shocked and felt worried about her, however, soon it became a part of their daily life. They only shook their head at her whenever she came out of Bao Bao’s barn -- either she’s wet or dirty. Madam Wang and the concubines even felt awe when looking at her funny determination. In their eyes, she’s a woman... why is there a need to learn riding horse? At this moment, they didn’t feel any hatred toward Yao Ling, instead only amusement. Besides, they would be able to take breathing because the couple would go away for quite some time. Hence, the lively atmosphere at Wang Fu.

Yao Ying and Yao Ling would go under the pretext that they were going on a honeymoon trip under Wang Luo Hai and the matriarch’s orders. Yao Ling once asked the matriarch, "Is it a believable excuse? After all, we’ve been married for quite some times."

The matriarch laughed heartily. "Of course. I already told the others it’s because I want to have grandchildren soon. This trip’s main point is that. Don’t only think about the Han Princess matter, but you also need to think about your stomach."

"My stomach?" Yao Ling asked gullibly.

The matriarch massaged the spot between her eyebrows. She already talked clearly about grandchildren and yet this girl still asked this kind of innocent question. "Of course, about my grandchildren! The road is pretty far. There are a lot of places to do a quick session of making babies," The matriarch answered bluntly. She decided to talk more clearly without restraint, so Yao Ling would understand better what she meant.

"Qu... quick session?" Yao Ling couldn’t stop her imagination and she shuddered at the thought. With Lin Jian around? No way! However, it seemed like the matriarch noticed her predicament.

"Don’t worry! I will have a pep talk with Lin Jian. As a single dog, he should know his own position and not bothering newlyweds!" The matriarch said leisurely.

What?! Yao Ling quickly appeased the old madam, "No need... no need... Grandmother! Yao Ying and I will find a way! No need to trouble Lin Jian!" She would die in embarrassment if the matriarch really had those kinds of talk with Lin Jian.

"Good!" The matriarch wasn’t going to really have a ’talk’ with Lin Jian, but she just wanted to push the young couple for a little bit. "Then, I will wait for the good news at home."

Yao Ling wanted to die in embarrassment when she saw the snicker on Zhang Mo Mo and Xiao Yu’s faces. However, probably her face was already thicker due to the matriarch’s constant sexual talk, so her face wasn’t as red as before. "Oh..." Yao Ling grinned sheepishly. She didn’t want to make the matriarch sad and appeased her, "We’ll try." But in her heart, she was kowtowing and apologizing for a thousand times. ’Grandmother... you still have to wait for a long time!’

Back to Bao Bao’s matter, because of her full service to the horse every day, she would become deadly tired at night. A certain husband was pouting because he felt neglected. "Ling-er... why bother with Bao Bao every day? We can just ride one horse --- you and me, together," He coaxed Yao Ling.

"No... Bao Bao really ignites my fighting spirit!" Yao Ling said with fire in her eyes.

Yao Ying could only shake his head. "You choose a weird way to show your fighting spirit. Why don’t you show your fighting spirit in bed too?" The man started his shameless behavior, making Yao Ling glare at him.
