The prince dotes on his wife: a reborn peasant woman is not easy to mess with

There is an ambiguous and tacit understanding between adults. Little Archie doesn't quite understand it, but he can also see that the atmosphere between them has changed significantly.

He was sincerely happy for Nini, and he lowered his head to eat the rice knowingly. After eating, he was about to leave, but Xia Yechen patted his head and said with a smile: "Here, let me teach you how to read."

So Archi was left behind again, but he was very happy and followed him excitedly, moving so fast that Zhou Xiaoyuan didn't stop him.

Of course, Zhou Xiaoyuan actually didn't want to stop him, but she had something to talk about according to yesterday's plan.

But since Xia Yechen had already asked someone to take him there, there should be no problem. Zhou Xiaoyuan shrugged and went back to think about her marriage.

On the other hand, they said they were teaching literacy, but in fact Xia Yechen was busy with his official duties and had no chance at all. It would be good to spare half an hour to teach Archie.

No matter how long it takes, he will go back to approve his official documents, while asking Archie to ask if there is anything he doesn't understand.

Xia Yechen let him go only after he was sure that Archie had learned.

But before leaving, Archie suddenly thought of something. He turned around and said nervously: "Father... I want to go out of the house."

Hearing this, Xia Yechen was a little surprised, but this was the first time Archie asked for anything.

As a father, Xia Yechen also felt that he should not push too hard. He paused and agreed without asking.

"Okay, remember to bring some people with you, it's not that safe outside."

Xia Yechen's instructions were very faint, but Archie was sincerely happy. He nodded vigorously, "Yes, thank you, adoptive father! Then Archie will leave first. I won't fight."

I'm bothering my adoptive father to deal with the official documents. "

After saying that, the others left, but Xia Yechen was thoughtful. He paused, turned his head and called Song Ling, asking him to send some people to follow Archi.

Song Ling was actually a little confused. He was a loyal subordinate and didn't really like this adopted son.

After all, being the eldest son of the palace is not an identity that can be given out casually, especially Archie's background is not that high.

But the master's orders must not be violated. Song Ling rolled his eyes and suddenly thought of a good idea.

Archie, back in his yard, knew nothing about it.

He only carefully dug out his private money and counted it carefully. Feeling uneasy, he counted it again. After several times, he looked a little sad, obviously feeling that he had saved too little money.

But his adoptive mother was so kind to him. As a country boy who knows how to repay kindness, Archie still felt that he should go out and give it a try.

To put it bluntly, he just wanted to buy some gifts for Zhou Xiaoyuan.

But he only had a few taels of silver and couldn't seem to buy anything. Archie curled his lips and felt a little sad. Then his eyes suddenly lit up. Thinking of what happened yesterday, Archie felt that his adoptive mother should also like those folklore stories. Otherwise, how could it be possible? The story is told so beautifully.

In this case, why not go to the bookstore and buy a book for your adoptive mother? The book is not that expensive, and even if it is a thick one, as long as it is not an exam-oriented book, it should be within his affordability.

Thinking of this, Archie immediately set off, completely unaware of the few people following him until he entered the bookstore.

The rules of this bookstore are very strict and almost no one is allowed to enter. The guards of the Songling faction were

Blocked outside, they looked at each other for a moment.

Archie didn't notice any of this.

He lingered in the bookstore. He originally agreed to pick out a gift for Zhou Xiaoyuan, but he fell in love with it as he looked at it. An afternoon passed and the bookstore was about to close before he realized that there was someone here.

The boy was quite surprised and quickly asked Archie to leave. Archie was reluctant to leave, but he still obediently picked a book and left.

He was very happy as he held the book, but also a little nervous, thinking whether his adoptive mother would like this gift.

As they were walking, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and Archie didn't notice.

But suddenly several children of the same age appeared in front of him. They were obviously different from him in their rich and noble clothes. Archie blinked in confusion and asked in confusion: "Who are you?"

"Ah, you country bumpkin don't even know us!" His unintentional words obviously angered those people.

Several children gathered around aggressively, pushing Archie back while questioning, "I don't know who you are!"

"You're actually lucky enough to be adopted as your adopted son!"

"I heard that they are still influenced by that country princess. No wonder, my mother said they flew up the branches and turned into phoenixes!"

Judging from the voices of these people, they must be the young masters from aristocratic families nearby. This area is where aristocratic families live, Zhou Xiaoyuan had reminded him before.

Archie felt uneasy. The child's malice was very obvious. Archie was overwhelmed by the pushing. For a moment, he seemed to be back to the way he was ostracized before. However, there was no Nini around him at the moment, so Archie didn't know what to do. what to do.

He gritted his teeth and endured step by step, hoping that these people could

Seeing that he didn't want to do anything, he could let himself go.

But Archi actually forgot Zhou Xiaoyuan's instructions. If he could still remember it, he would know that weakness is the last thing he should have.

Especially when being bullied, this is simply a fatal flaw.

So there is no doubt that the tighter Archie protected the things, the more they were coveted by the children. They used all their strength to grab the books in Aqi's arms. When they heard Archie's screams, they became even more proud. .

"Tch, this country bumpkin still pretends to be a fool and a mute. It's so funny. I thought he was just a little beggar."

"That's right, but what exactly is this thing in his arms? It's so well protected, show me quickly!!"

Of course Archie couldn't let go, but those naughty kids were also aroused to be competitive and gritted their teeth to grab things from Archie's hand.

With both hands unable to withstand four punches, a corner of Archie's tight defense was chipped away.

Then there was a "click", and the outermost pages of the book were ripped off. At that moment, Archie's brain almost shut down. By the time he reacted, he had already exploded with strength and pushed all the children around him away. .

Looking at the fallen child, Archie felt really guilty. He picked up the pages and prepared to run to the palace.

Unexpectedly, the group of naughty children became even more angry when they found out that they had been pushed. They rushed over directly, with a clear target on the book in Archie's hand.

After all, he had just bullied Archie for so long. Who wouldn't be able to see that he didn't care about other things at all and only wanted to protect his book.

The more he wanted to protect him, the more those young masters from aristocratic families did not want him to be consummated.

No matter how tightly I protected it, it was useless. The already damaged scroll was torn apart with an extremely clear sound.
