Depressed little landlord
Chapter 117
At that time, Lin Xuan and his "family of three" were eating and drinking here in Xiangqing. As one of the few good friends of each other, both sides disclosed their plans to each other, so the four adults were there to discuss the matter of the land. Douding Lin Xun He is the only one who eats seriously.
"I think Xiaoxuan's idea is good." Xiang Qing took a piece of eel and gave it to Qi Ling, and said: "Although there are often fish sellers in the town, the types are not fixed, and they can't be sold at any time. If you rush to it later , then there will be no fish to sell on this day, if you can raise them, the business will definitely not be bad."
Qi Ling also nodded in agreement: "Indeed, the third aunt in the family liked fish before, and the house once had fish in every meal, so I once heard that the servants in the house murmured that they had to get up early every day, and sometimes they might not be able to buy it... ..."
Seeing that Douding's gaze was following the eel section, he smiled unconsciously, so he just clipped a few sections on the plate for him, lest someone accidentally finish eating it, and when he saw Douding With a satisfied smile, he continued: "If it is cultivated, it will definitely not be a problem for us. Not bad! Xiaoxuan, I really admire you for thinking of these methods as much as possible."
Being praised, Lin Xuan was a little embarrassed, he laughed twice and said: "Actually, what kind of good ideas are these? It's only because you are our friends that you are so flattering... Since you all think it's okay, then I will take care of it when I go back. Think about it, see where it is done, it is not too difficult to dig a fish pond in our land, the main problem is geological problems... and the fish fry are not so easy to get, and what to raise Fish, you have to plan carefully for these things, don’t rush.”
When the two heard it, they felt that it was the same. This matter is not something that can be done immediately, it really needs to be carefully considered.
"This fish fry is not too difficult." When the three of them were distressed, Xu Yang also spoke, which attracted the eyes of the three of them to focus on him. Tang—"Looking at Lin Xuan as if confirming the name, "It's not a problem. If ours is not suitable at the moment, then go to another place to choose. Before, charcoal was good. Of course, this will be considered later. choose, and the fish—”
Looking at the bottomed plate on the table, the meaning is obvious, "Isn't it the one in the river?"
Lin Xuan's eyes lit up suddenly, and he looked at Xu Yang as if he was looking at a male god, "Yes! I don't know if there are big fish or something, but there are a lot of small fish, but that's because the wild survives the fittest. If we raise it, the result will definitely be different, even if it can’t be too large, one or two catties will be fine, right?”
He talked more and more vigorously, as if he really saw the scene of fishing, his eyes were amazingly bright.
Qi Ling was also agitated by what he said, after all, he decided to live in Wangshan Village in the future, if it went according to what Xiaoxuan said, would that village still be like this in the future?
It is estimated that there is no village around this small town that can catch up, right?
Thinking about the situation at that time, even he felt a little excited, not to mention Xiang Qing, who has increasingly taken Lin Xuan's ideas as his criterion recently?Not to mention Xu Yang who almost regards any decision of Lin Xuan as an imperial decree.
Therefore, the matter concerning fish ponds was passed unanimously.
As for Xiang Qi's decision to live in the village in the future and plan to be their neighbors, Lin Xuan was very surprised, but he also expressed his welcome, so he told them what the village had mentioned to him before. The land should be settled as soon as possible, otherwise in two years, those who find that the village has improved may move back, and it will be more difficult to deal with.
"But—" Lin Xuan looked at the two of them, dragged his voice, and teased, "So you're going to have a wedding? Congratulations! Hey, Xu Yang, we are so poor, should we prepare a gift?"
Xu Yang also looked at Xiang Qing, and suddenly smiled and replied: "No, as an elder brother, how can you be courteous to your younger brother?"
Xiang Qing glared at the two of them and pointed at Yaoyao. Qi Ling blushed a little, but he didn't help out, and was happy to watch the fun from the sidelines.
Xiang Qing looked around, and found that there was no one standing by his side again, and finally hugged Douding who was eating, howling.
"Xun'er, my brother is so pitiful~ They all bully me~"
Douding looked stupid, he had no intention of listening to his brothers at all, he couldn't help but swallowed what was in his mouth guilty, and hid his hands under the table, moving his little butt, hoping that everyone would not pay attention to his little belly.
After doing all this, I racked my brains to figure out how to comfort people.The dark eyes swept around a few times, and suddenly found the soup basin in the middle of the table, and his eyes lit up.
"Brother Xiang, the soup is delicious~ we won't cry after drinking~"
Xiang Qing: "..." I'm really going to cry now.
Seeing the faces of the good friends and the couple who were holding back their laughter and enduring the pain, and the way their sweetheart couldn't bear to look straight at him, Xiang Qing coughed to relieve the embarrassment in his heart, sat up straight, but stretched out his hand to the soup bowl.
That's right, if you have anything to do, drink a bowl of soup first, otherwise it will be a waste of such a delicious thing if it gets cold.
"I went to the Yamen to inquire about this matter before, and I know it well." As he spoke, he glanced at Qi Ling, his eyes were full of tenderness, and he covered his hand on the table with his big hand, and announced to Xu Yang proudly, "That's right." Just as you think, I went to the Qi family to propose marriage last month, and Mr. Qi has already agreed that Xiao Lingzi and I can get married at any time."
"Congratulations!" Xu Yang said sincerely, "Finally what I wished for!"
This time Lin Xuan didn't joke anymore, and congratulated sincerely: "This is a great joy! If the date is fixed, remember to let us know, and we will definitely arrive on time."
After speaking, he said to Xu Yang: "It seems that we have to prepare gifts carefully. I hope the time will not be too urgent, otherwise we will have to drink the wedding wine empty-handed."
Hearing this, Xiang Qing laughed out loud, and Qi Ling was also amused. Looking at Lin Xuan and the others, the joy on their faces was obvious, and a funny thought suddenly appeared, "That can't be done, as the rich businessman in the future, you You can't be stingy, my family, Xiang Qing, will depend on your care, this gift is necessary."
Lin Xuan widened his eyes, looked at him as if he didn't know him, and leaned on Xu Yang for a long time: "It's over, it's over, what happened to our male god Qi? He must have been possessed by Xiang Qing!"
Xu Yang, Xiang Qing: ...
Qi Ling was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing. The scene of Lin Xuan's humming challenged their vision so much that even Xu Yang, who followed him the most, had his eyelids twitch.
After playing tricks for a long time, Lin Xuan brought the topic back to the main topic, and asked the two of them if they knew something about buying the hills. Even Xiang Qing and Qi Ling were not very clear. The Qi family also had a villa and some hills, but what he knew was the villa and the hills. , As for buying the mountain alone, it is not clear.
"It seems that we still have to go to the Yamen." Lin Xuan was helpless. As a small citizen in his two lifetimes, he kept a respectful distance from such places and rarely dealt with them.
Xiang Qing glanced at Xu Yang, and suggested: "I think it's just a matter of time for you to go and have a look and pick a few people. I think it's better to have more people. Depending on your plan, you will definitely need more people. Recently, you are all very nervous. Have you worked hard? You have lost a lot of weight."
Lin Xuan was startled, turned his head suddenly, and looked at Xu Yang carefully. Not to mention, after Xiang Qing said this, he also felt that Xu Yang had lost a lot of weight, "Yes, it's time to add some people, but it's getting busier and busier." , you can’t fall down, the family can’t do without you.”
Xu Yang smiled and took the hand he was touching his face, held it in his palm, stared at him and replied: OK.
Qi Ling suddenly raised a question, "Xiaoxuan, it's okay to buy the mountain. If you don't have enough money, you can take care of Xiang Qing. What I'm worried about is the fish. If you want to raise them, what do you need to feed them?"
Hearing this, Xiang Qing also calmed down. This is indeed a very important issue. Usually, when fish are in the river, who would pay attention to what they eat?
"Yes, have you figured out a way to do this?" Frowning, Xiang Qing said seriously, "I haven't heard of this, is it possible that I have raised it in other places? Do you want to find someone to help me find out? Just recently Someone I know is going north."
As soon as I said that, I felt that it was feasible, and those seeds before were all helped by those people.
Lin Xuan was very grateful after hearing this: "Thank you, but no need, I have thought of a solution for the time being, which should solve this problem, but it would be great if I can get lotus...lotus."
"Like lotus?" Xu Yang asked slightly in surprise, and then replied before the others responded, "If you like it, next time I go to the charcoal field and bring some back, will it be okay to plant in the fish pond?"
Xiang Qing also couldn't help but smile, looked at Lin Xuan and said with a smile: "Why do you need to run so far if you want lotus flowers? Doesn't Xiao Lingzi's house have a lotus pond?"
"Xiaoxuan wants to eat lotus seeds? But it's almost there right now. I'll have someone pick them up and send them to you in a few days." Qi Ling also asked with a smile.
Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment, mainly because he couldn't turn the corner for a while, thinking that the lotus flowers that everyone usually enjoys are different from what he wants to get, but isn't a lotus just a lotus?
Hehe, I really made a low-level mistake! Fortunately, they only thought he wanted to enjoy the flowers.
"Thank you so much. I just need a little, or get some roots to transplant back to plant. Lotus seeds are a good thing, so let your family eat them."
Qi Ling still smiled, "It doesn't matter, usually my aunts pick some, put them aside, and send them to someone who really likes them to realize their true value."
Lin Xuan smiled awkwardly. He likes it because these things are edible, but do you want to explain?
***
After bidding farewell to Qing Qiling, Lin Xuan and the others went directly to the yamen, but unfortunately, the county lord happened to be promoted to handle the case, and the master clerk naturally had no free time, so they had to ask the yamen servant to take them to see the slaves.
What Xiang Qing said was right, if they bought another mountain, they would need a lot of people to work, and it would definitely not work with the current one.
Lin Xuan also thought about hiring people from the village, but after thinking about it again, this matter has to be discussed in the long run, let's buy some people temporarily.Of course, he also mentioned this idea to Xu Yang, and without thinking about it, Xu Yang proposed to buy people and talk about hiring villagers later.
So when I heard that the adults in the yamen didn't have time, I turned to ask to go directly to the side courtyard.
The one who led the way was still the elder brother from last time, who seemed to remember them, and when he heard them say they were going to see people, he immediately led them in without talking nonsense.
This time Lin Xuan and Lin Xun did not avoid, but followed Xu Yang to pick people the whole time.Lin Xuan was still a little awkward, but when he thought of Xiaoqi and Xiaohu, he felt relieved again.
There is also some sympathy, if it wasn't for the fact that Master Lin still kept some ground and gave them a little retreat and a place to live, otherwise would the current situation of the two of them still be the same?Or become a beggar on the street, or... like those people behind the fence?
This time Xu Yang specially selected young people, and the price was more expensive than last time, but these can be worked immediately after returning, so Lin Xuan endured the pain and paid for them.
But now there is no place for so many people to live in the family, so they brought them to Xiang Qing and asked him to take them in for a while.
Naturally, Xiang Qing would not object. He knew exactly how many rooms the Lin family had now, "No problem, just stay here and help out for a while, and we'll talk about it when I build a house there. Why don't you tell me when you go? Xiao Lingzi and I still need some people, but why are there only six? Is this enough?"
"Almost, we are so big, let's take a look first, and if we are too busy, we will add more when we come." Xu Yang motioned him to look at those people, "It looks pretty good, you can help teach us, we will eat and use. pay you..."
Xiang Qing rolled his eyes, "Come here with brother? If you talk about these people again, you will take them back today."
Lin Xuan pulled Xu Yang down, and said with an apologetic smile: "Xiang Qing, ignore him, he is dizzy, by the way, the sun is getting bigger and bigger, I think our hot pot can be suspended, bro, You see, in a month or so, there will be more fruits, why don't you sell some juice?"
"Juice?" As soon as Xiang Qing heard about the sale, he immediately put that unpleasantness behind him, and the previous one was not really unpleasant. "Xiaoxuan, why don't you explain in more detail?"
Lin Xuan winked at the sullen Xu Yang and asked him to take Lin Xun to play.Xu Yang didn't say anything, and didn't leave, he just moved aside with Douding in his arms, as if he wanted to hear to the end.
Lin Xuan Xiangqing didn't care about them, but got together to talk about it in detail.
"It's a hot day, and everyone's appetite is poor. Why don't we get some appetizers, or cold ones, so that we won't be afraid that the business will not be popular."
"I know this." Xiang Qing was a little anxious, "But the fruit juices you made as you said can't be eaten as a meal. Besides, it's cold, it's easy to say, if you want to eat ice in summer, silly brother, you think this is The palace or the dignitaries? Where do we get ice in the great south?"
Lin Xuan choked for a moment, rolled his eyes, and finally didn't talk too much, "Then let's ignore the ice, is there a well in the store? Yes, just put the food in the well for a while, if you want to eat Let’s just bring it up again, didn’t we do the same in the past?”
"But this kind of business can't keep up."
"Oh! Let's ignore this, do you want to do this idea?" Lin Xuan was a little annoyed. He naturally had a solution, but this had to be discussed with Xu Yang. Didn’t you make it for Xun’er? Do it like that. For the time being, you can ask the guests when they come to eat, or just say that this is our new launch. Whenever you come to eat in the store, you will give us a gift when you reach a certain amount of money. A glass of homemade juice."
Seeing that Xiang Qing and Xu Yang were listening seriously, Lin Xuan took a breath and continued: "Or limit the quantity. If there are customers ordering this, we can set a certain quantity, and it will be determined by how much the well of our restaurant can freeze at a time. How about it?"
"Okay!" Xiang Qing clapped his palms and applauded loudly, forgetting his scruples for a moment and laughed loudly and raised his hand to pat Lin Xuan on the shoulder, "You really deserve to be Xiaoxuan! Don't say it, I think it's because Yangzi was able to marry you in his previous life." What a blessing to come!"
The corner of Lin Xuan's mouth twitched, and suddenly the big hand on his shoulder changed owner. Xu Yang slapped off the hand as if declaring his sovereignty, and replaced it with his own. He accepted his friend's words without blushing, "Of course."
Lin Xuan, Xiang Qing: "..."
Then Wei Wei leaned closer to Lin Xuan's ear and whispered: "Good idea!"
Lin Xuan: "..." His ears were itchy, and his face felt uncontrollably hot.
Xiang Qing: "..."
Xiang Qing waved at the two of them impatiently, full of disgust: "Don't worry if you are with me, you should do whatever you want, don't be an eyesore to me."
Xu Yang simply pulled him up and walked out. He had said his farewell before, so there was no need to say any more. Lin Xuan followed along and remembered something, and turned around and said in a hurry: "Redberry should be almost done recently, if you are free, go to Let's go to the village, Xiaoshan and the others have been talking about it for the past few days."
"Understood, we will go in a few days, pay attention to safety on the road."
"Ah."
***
It is rare for Lin Zhai and Lin Er's family to have lunch together, and they will be resting in the main hall.
"What's the matter? How could that kid Lin Xuan do such a thing?" Suddenly Lin Er's furious voice broke the peace.
Lin Xiang'er and her younger brother sat quietly at the bottom, trying to shrink back when she heard the words, pretending that she didn't exist.
"Master calm down, Xuan'er is still young, so he is easily deceived." Mrs. Lin hurried forward to persuade, but she couldn't help but blame him instead, "Before I said I would call someone back to persuade you, but you Saying that we are nosy about this matter is annoying, and now things have become like this, what is the use of you getting angry at us girls here?"
"You—" Lin Er patted the table, but when he saw the wife and a pair of children opposite, he swallowed the rest of the words immediately, but still said angrily: "Really, who is not good, I chose that one, It's still my servant, don't you know what people outside have said recently? It's so that I don't know where to put my old face. "
Mrs. Lin was speechless for a while, thinking of those wives who have come and gone recently, her words were evasive, but she was trying to beat around the bush just to ask this matter, overtly and covertly, don't people know that they are mocking their family?
Thinking of these second Mrs. Lin, she couldn't help complaining to Lin Xuan. Seeing her daughter sitting quietly in the chair, she felt even more distressed. Recently, because of this incident, Xiang'er hasn't gone out for a whole month.
Fortunately, my daughter is finally leaving the cabinet this month, and the master chose a very good person.
Only then did the mood recover a little bit, and looking at Lin Er who was still angry, he persuaded softly: "Master, don't get so angry, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are gone, it should be our responsibility, if it is not for the master. Busy, otherwise Xiaoxuan would not be allowed to do such a thing. His marriage was done in such a hurry that we didn't have time to react. I have sent people to the village. When Xiang'er gets married, he will come to you again Let’s just say he is.”
When Lin Er heard this, he frowned, but after thinking about it for a while, he also felt that it was reasonable, anyway, he would call someone back at that time, so there was no need to bother.
Thinking of this, his face turned pale, "That's fine, I'll go to the study, and the housekeeper will send someone to come over to Shopkeeper Wang, I have something to say to him."
"Yes, sir."
Mrs. Lin chased after two steps, and reminded her voice: "Hey~ don't be too busy, I'll let the kitchen prepare some food, come out for dinner early."
"Understood." Lin Er replied impatiently, took the butler around a corner and disappeared around the corner.
***
"You said they have already bought more than [-] acres of land? And they have finished planting this year?"
"Yes, sir."
"The county magistrate appreciates him a lot?"
"... I heard it is."
Hearing this, Lin Er was silent for a while, pacing back and forth behind the desk with his hands behind his back, shopkeeper Wang waited with his head slightly lowered, but the young man who followed him was a little impatient, but he also knew where it was, no talkative.
Lin Er walked for a while, stopped in front of the case, looked up at the two of them, and said heavily: "Well, you—come here."
Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly stepped forward and listened attentively. Lin Er also lowered his voice and said something to him like this.
Shopkeeper Wang just said "yes" and "okay" throughout the whole process. The young man tried his best to prick up his ears, but he still only heard these few words.
"...You should take care of this as soon as possible. It's over. You are indispensable for the treasurer's seat. Let those young people do the rest."
"Yes, the little one will definitely do it! Thank you, Master, for your appreciation."
Lin Er waved to the two of them, shopkeeper Wang hurriedly led the people out of the study, and waited for the bright sunlight outside to shine on his body, only then did he feel that the temperature on his body had returned.
The housekeeper congratulated them with a half-smile, and the shopkeeper Wang was also polite with a smile all over his face. When he got out of the gate, the people also went back. Then the shopkeeper Wang heaved a sigh of relief and raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead. .
Seeing shopkeeper Wang's actions, the young man flashed a sarcasm again - after all, he is too old and timid, right?
"Shopkeeper Wang, if there is a small place to help, just ask, the small one will definitely go through fire and water to get the job done for you."
Shopkeeper Wang straightened his face, looked at the young man who he lifted up with one hand, and saw the familiar light in his eyes that couldn't be hidden, and knew that even if he persuaded him now, it was too late.
The blatantly revealing light of ambition is just like me back then... well, just like what the master said, since young people want to climb up, why should he stand in the way of others?Business is not about benevolence and righteousness, so let him be a kind person.
The corner of his mouth was raised slightly, and seeing Shopkeeper Wang hooking his hands at him, the young man hurried over, and Shopkeeper Wang whispered something in his ear.
"...you get this thing done, let's talk about the rest."
"Thank you shopkeeper, thank you cousin!"
Shopkeeper Wang glared, "Xiao Fang, don't blame Uncle for not reminding you in advance, as long as you know about this, Uncle doesn't want you to be like that kid last time..."
The young man Xiao Fang's expression froze when he heard this, and he immediately lost the initial joy, and nodded repeatedly with a pale face, saying that he didn't dare.
"Okay, go back."
Shopkeeper Wang led his people to the rice shop, and he didn't want to just turn the corner when he saw a group of people coming out of the gate of the Yamen on the opposite side of the street, and stopped immediately.
After seeing the person over there clearly, he suddenly felt that today's sunlight was a bit harsh, so he squinted his eyes involuntarily and stared at the other side.
The big boy whose smile is as bright as the sun in the sky under the sun, and the little boy in the arms of the tall man, the two people with almost the same expressions are the brothers of the Lin family who made the master angry before, and the man walking beside him also It was obvious that he knew each other, after all, the two had worked together before.
Shopkeeper Wang looked at the young man striding forward on his side, looked at the three people across the street, and looked up at the sky. The sun was really dazzling!
He is really old!
Looking at the opposite side being amused and giggling, and even across the street, children's whispers could be heard, shopkeeper Wang suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Think about the family's little grandson is also so big this year?I don't know if he will have a day when he will have grandchildren?
Suddenly he laughed at himself, shook his head and continued to walk forward. The two sides walked along one side of the street, but gradually drifted apart.
***
On the mountain road, Xiao Hui walked slowly, and the cart also swayed, making him drowsy.
Maybe it was because of getting used to it, or maybe it was because the speed was very slow, or maybe it was because I got used to this road slowly, Lin Xuan didn't feel uncomfortable, and leaned against Lin Xun, yawning continuously.
Xu Yang looked back at the two of them, with a smile in his eyes, patted Lin Xuan and said in a low voice: "Sit on the inside, be careful not to fall."
Lin Xuan blinked, looked down, and found that Douding had fallen asleep in his arms, hugged him and moved along with him, let him lie sideways on his lap, and then answered Xu Yang's words .
"Are you sleepy? How about I come and watch, and you come to the back and squint for a while."
"It's okay, I'm not sleepy." Xu Yang patted Xiao Hui's back, then crossed his long legs, turned to sit with them, stroked Lin Xuan's face with his big hand, and asked with concern: "Is it very hot?"
Lin Xuan shook his head, "It's okay." Then he put his hand on the back of his hand, "Let's leave the matter on the top of the mountain like this, anyway, those are just sprouting now, and the number is not much, let's plant along the edge of the field at the foot of the mountain for now."
"Okay, I'll get this one when I get back." Xu Yang sat down so that he could rely on himself, which would make him feel more comfortable. "Is the money at home enough? When I passed by before, I saw that there were cows in the workshop." Selling, there is too much land in the house, and Big Hui and Xiao Hui are too busy."
"A cow?"
"Ah."
"Okay, arable land is still more orthodox, so you can go and have a look at it another day, and if it's suitable, you can buy it back. Anyway, this is what you have to buy, while you still have money in hand, but try your best. The price is also reasonable."
"Ah--"
"This is a very serious matter, don't laugh!"
"Okay. Have you been dreaming again recently?"
"Huh? Did you find out?"
"Hmm. The lotus flower in the fish pond and the fruit juice were all told in a dream? The ice..."
"Hey, secret~"
The author has something to say: I’ll come back to the comments at noon, so I’ll get up at six o’clock for the morning meeting, I feel like the leader is very nervous┑( ̄Д ̄)┍
"I think Xiaoxuan's idea is good." Xiang Qing took a piece of eel and gave it to Qi Ling, and said: "Although there are often fish sellers in the town, the types are not fixed, and they can't be sold at any time. If you rush to it later , then there will be no fish to sell on this day, if you can raise them, the business will definitely not be bad."
Qi Ling also nodded in agreement: "Indeed, the third aunt in the family liked fish before, and the house once had fish in every meal, so I once heard that the servants in the house murmured that they had to get up early every day, and sometimes they might not be able to buy it... ..."
Seeing that Douding's gaze was following the eel section, he smiled unconsciously, so he just clipped a few sections on the plate for him, lest someone accidentally finish eating it, and when he saw Douding With a satisfied smile, he continued: "If it is cultivated, it will definitely not be a problem for us. Not bad! Xiaoxuan, I really admire you for thinking of these methods as much as possible."
Being praised, Lin Xuan was a little embarrassed, he laughed twice and said: "Actually, what kind of good ideas are these? It's only because you are our friends that you are so flattering... Since you all think it's okay, then I will take care of it when I go back. Think about it, see where it is done, it is not too difficult to dig a fish pond in our land, the main problem is geological problems... and the fish fry are not so easy to get, and what to raise Fish, you have to plan carefully for these things, don’t rush.”
When the two heard it, they felt that it was the same. This matter is not something that can be done immediately, it really needs to be carefully considered.
"This fish fry is not too difficult." When the three of them were distressed, Xu Yang also spoke, which attracted the eyes of the three of them to focus on him. Tang—"Looking at Lin Xuan as if confirming the name, "It's not a problem. If ours is not suitable at the moment, then go to another place to choose. Before, charcoal was good. Of course, this will be considered later. choose, and the fish—”
Looking at the bottomed plate on the table, the meaning is obvious, "Isn't it the one in the river?"
Lin Xuan's eyes lit up suddenly, and he looked at Xu Yang as if he was looking at a male god, "Yes! I don't know if there are big fish or something, but there are a lot of small fish, but that's because the wild survives the fittest. If we raise it, the result will definitely be different, even if it can’t be too large, one or two catties will be fine, right?”
He talked more and more vigorously, as if he really saw the scene of fishing, his eyes were amazingly bright.
Qi Ling was also agitated by what he said, after all, he decided to live in Wangshan Village in the future, if it went according to what Xiaoxuan said, would that village still be like this in the future?
It is estimated that there is no village around this small town that can catch up, right?
Thinking about the situation at that time, even he felt a little excited, not to mention Xiang Qing, who has increasingly taken Lin Xuan's ideas as his criterion recently?Not to mention Xu Yang who almost regards any decision of Lin Xuan as an imperial decree.
Therefore, the matter concerning fish ponds was passed unanimously.
As for Xiang Qi's decision to live in the village in the future and plan to be their neighbors, Lin Xuan was very surprised, but he also expressed his welcome, so he told them what the village had mentioned to him before. The land should be settled as soon as possible, otherwise in two years, those who find that the village has improved may move back, and it will be more difficult to deal with.
"But—" Lin Xuan looked at the two of them, dragged his voice, and teased, "So you're going to have a wedding? Congratulations! Hey, Xu Yang, we are so poor, should we prepare a gift?"
Xu Yang also looked at Xiang Qing, and suddenly smiled and replied: "No, as an elder brother, how can you be courteous to your younger brother?"
Xiang Qing glared at the two of them and pointed at Yaoyao. Qi Ling blushed a little, but he didn't help out, and was happy to watch the fun from the sidelines.
Xiang Qing looked around, and found that there was no one standing by his side again, and finally hugged Douding who was eating, howling.
"Xun'er, my brother is so pitiful~ They all bully me~"
Douding looked stupid, he had no intention of listening to his brothers at all, he couldn't help but swallowed what was in his mouth guilty, and hid his hands under the table, moving his little butt, hoping that everyone would not pay attention to his little belly.
After doing all this, I racked my brains to figure out how to comfort people.The dark eyes swept around a few times, and suddenly found the soup basin in the middle of the table, and his eyes lit up.
"Brother Xiang, the soup is delicious~ we won't cry after drinking~"
Xiang Qing: "..." I'm really going to cry now.
Seeing the faces of the good friends and the couple who were holding back their laughter and enduring the pain, and the way their sweetheart couldn't bear to look straight at him, Xiang Qing coughed to relieve the embarrassment in his heart, sat up straight, but stretched out his hand to the soup bowl.
That's right, if you have anything to do, drink a bowl of soup first, otherwise it will be a waste of such a delicious thing if it gets cold.
"I went to the Yamen to inquire about this matter before, and I know it well." As he spoke, he glanced at Qi Ling, his eyes were full of tenderness, and he covered his hand on the table with his big hand, and announced to Xu Yang proudly, "That's right." Just as you think, I went to the Qi family to propose marriage last month, and Mr. Qi has already agreed that Xiao Lingzi and I can get married at any time."
"Congratulations!" Xu Yang said sincerely, "Finally what I wished for!"
This time Lin Xuan didn't joke anymore, and congratulated sincerely: "This is a great joy! If the date is fixed, remember to let us know, and we will definitely arrive on time."
After speaking, he said to Xu Yang: "It seems that we have to prepare gifts carefully. I hope the time will not be too urgent, otherwise we will have to drink the wedding wine empty-handed."
Hearing this, Xiang Qing laughed out loud, and Qi Ling was also amused. Looking at Lin Xuan and the others, the joy on their faces was obvious, and a funny thought suddenly appeared, "That can't be done, as the rich businessman in the future, you You can't be stingy, my family, Xiang Qing, will depend on your care, this gift is necessary."
Lin Xuan widened his eyes, looked at him as if he didn't know him, and leaned on Xu Yang for a long time: "It's over, it's over, what happened to our male god Qi? He must have been possessed by Xiang Qing!"
Xu Yang, Xiang Qing: ...
Qi Ling was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing. The scene of Lin Xuan's humming challenged their vision so much that even Xu Yang, who followed him the most, had his eyelids twitch.
After playing tricks for a long time, Lin Xuan brought the topic back to the main topic, and asked the two of them if they knew something about buying the hills. Even Xiang Qing and Qi Ling were not very clear. The Qi family also had a villa and some hills, but what he knew was the villa and the hills. , As for buying the mountain alone, it is not clear.
"It seems that we still have to go to the Yamen." Lin Xuan was helpless. As a small citizen in his two lifetimes, he kept a respectful distance from such places and rarely dealt with them.
Xiang Qing glanced at Xu Yang, and suggested: "I think it's just a matter of time for you to go and have a look and pick a few people. I think it's better to have more people. Depending on your plan, you will definitely need more people. Recently, you are all very nervous. Have you worked hard? You have lost a lot of weight."
Lin Xuan was startled, turned his head suddenly, and looked at Xu Yang carefully. Not to mention, after Xiang Qing said this, he also felt that Xu Yang had lost a lot of weight, "Yes, it's time to add some people, but it's getting busier and busier." , you can’t fall down, the family can’t do without you.”
Xu Yang smiled and took the hand he was touching his face, held it in his palm, stared at him and replied: OK.
Qi Ling suddenly raised a question, "Xiaoxuan, it's okay to buy the mountain. If you don't have enough money, you can take care of Xiang Qing. What I'm worried about is the fish. If you want to raise them, what do you need to feed them?"
Hearing this, Xiang Qing also calmed down. This is indeed a very important issue. Usually, when fish are in the river, who would pay attention to what they eat?
"Yes, have you figured out a way to do this?" Frowning, Xiang Qing said seriously, "I haven't heard of this, is it possible that I have raised it in other places? Do you want to find someone to help me find out? Just recently Someone I know is going north."
As soon as I said that, I felt that it was feasible, and those seeds before were all helped by those people.
Lin Xuan was very grateful after hearing this: "Thank you, but no need, I have thought of a solution for the time being, which should solve this problem, but it would be great if I can get lotus...lotus."
"Like lotus?" Xu Yang asked slightly in surprise, and then replied before the others responded, "If you like it, next time I go to the charcoal field and bring some back, will it be okay to plant in the fish pond?"
Xiang Qing also couldn't help but smile, looked at Lin Xuan and said with a smile: "Why do you need to run so far if you want lotus flowers? Doesn't Xiao Lingzi's house have a lotus pond?"
"Xiaoxuan wants to eat lotus seeds? But it's almost there right now. I'll have someone pick them up and send them to you in a few days." Qi Ling also asked with a smile.
Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment, mainly because he couldn't turn the corner for a while, thinking that the lotus flowers that everyone usually enjoys are different from what he wants to get, but isn't a lotus just a lotus?
Hehe, I really made a low-level mistake! Fortunately, they only thought he wanted to enjoy the flowers.
"Thank you so much. I just need a little, or get some roots to transplant back to plant. Lotus seeds are a good thing, so let your family eat them."
Qi Ling still smiled, "It doesn't matter, usually my aunts pick some, put them aside, and send them to someone who really likes them to realize their true value."
Lin Xuan smiled awkwardly. He likes it because these things are edible, but do you want to explain?
***
After bidding farewell to Qing Qiling, Lin Xuan and the others went directly to the yamen, but unfortunately, the county lord happened to be promoted to handle the case, and the master clerk naturally had no free time, so they had to ask the yamen servant to take them to see the slaves.
What Xiang Qing said was right, if they bought another mountain, they would need a lot of people to work, and it would definitely not work with the current one.
Lin Xuan also thought about hiring people from the village, but after thinking about it again, this matter has to be discussed in the long run, let's buy some people temporarily.Of course, he also mentioned this idea to Xu Yang, and without thinking about it, Xu Yang proposed to buy people and talk about hiring villagers later.
So when I heard that the adults in the yamen didn't have time, I turned to ask to go directly to the side courtyard.
The one who led the way was still the elder brother from last time, who seemed to remember them, and when he heard them say they were going to see people, he immediately led them in without talking nonsense.
This time Lin Xuan and Lin Xun did not avoid, but followed Xu Yang to pick people the whole time.Lin Xuan was still a little awkward, but when he thought of Xiaoqi and Xiaohu, he felt relieved again.
There is also some sympathy, if it wasn't for the fact that Master Lin still kept some ground and gave them a little retreat and a place to live, otherwise would the current situation of the two of them still be the same?Or become a beggar on the street, or... like those people behind the fence?
This time Xu Yang specially selected young people, and the price was more expensive than last time, but these can be worked immediately after returning, so Lin Xuan endured the pain and paid for them.
But now there is no place for so many people to live in the family, so they brought them to Xiang Qing and asked him to take them in for a while.
Naturally, Xiang Qing would not object. He knew exactly how many rooms the Lin family had now, "No problem, just stay here and help out for a while, and we'll talk about it when I build a house there. Why don't you tell me when you go? Xiao Lingzi and I still need some people, but why are there only six? Is this enough?"
"Almost, we are so big, let's take a look first, and if we are too busy, we will add more when we come." Xu Yang motioned him to look at those people, "It looks pretty good, you can help teach us, we will eat and use. pay you..."
Xiang Qing rolled his eyes, "Come here with brother? If you talk about these people again, you will take them back today."
Lin Xuan pulled Xu Yang down, and said with an apologetic smile: "Xiang Qing, ignore him, he is dizzy, by the way, the sun is getting bigger and bigger, I think our hot pot can be suspended, bro, You see, in a month or so, there will be more fruits, why don't you sell some juice?"
"Juice?" As soon as Xiang Qing heard about the sale, he immediately put that unpleasantness behind him, and the previous one was not really unpleasant. "Xiaoxuan, why don't you explain in more detail?"
Lin Xuan winked at the sullen Xu Yang and asked him to take Lin Xun to play.Xu Yang didn't say anything, and didn't leave, he just moved aside with Douding in his arms, as if he wanted to hear to the end.
Lin Xuan Xiangqing didn't care about them, but got together to talk about it in detail.
"It's a hot day, and everyone's appetite is poor. Why don't we get some appetizers, or cold ones, so that we won't be afraid that the business will not be popular."
"I know this." Xiang Qing was a little anxious, "But the fruit juices you made as you said can't be eaten as a meal. Besides, it's cold, it's easy to say, if you want to eat ice in summer, silly brother, you think this is The palace or the dignitaries? Where do we get ice in the great south?"
Lin Xuan choked for a moment, rolled his eyes, and finally didn't talk too much, "Then let's ignore the ice, is there a well in the store? Yes, just put the food in the well for a while, if you want to eat Let’s just bring it up again, didn’t we do the same in the past?”
"But this kind of business can't keep up."
"Oh! Let's ignore this, do you want to do this idea?" Lin Xuan was a little annoyed. He naturally had a solution, but this had to be discussed with Xu Yang. Didn’t you make it for Xun’er? Do it like that. For the time being, you can ask the guests when they come to eat, or just say that this is our new launch. Whenever you come to eat in the store, you will give us a gift when you reach a certain amount of money. A glass of homemade juice."
Seeing that Xiang Qing and Xu Yang were listening seriously, Lin Xuan took a breath and continued: "Or limit the quantity. If there are customers ordering this, we can set a certain quantity, and it will be determined by how much the well of our restaurant can freeze at a time. How about it?"
"Okay!" Xiang Qing clapped his palms and applauded loudly, forgetting his scruples for a moment and laughed loudly and raised his hand to pat Lin Xuan on the shoulder, "You really deserve to be Xiaoxuan! Don't say it, I think it's because Yangzi was able to marry you in his previous life." What a blessing to come!"
The corner of Lin Xuan's mouth twitched, and suddenly the big hand on his shoulder changed owner. Xu Yang slapped off the hand as if declaring his sovereignty, and replaced it with his own. He accepted his friend's words without blushing, "Of course."
Lin Xuan, Xiang Qing: "..."
Then Wei Wei leaned closer to Lin Xuan's ear and whispered: "Good idea!"
Lin Xuan: "..." His ears were itchy, and his face felt uncontrollably hot.
Xiang Qing: "..."
Xiang Qing waved at the two of them impatiently, full of disgust: "Don't worry if you are with me, you should do whatever you want, don't be an eyesore to me."
Xu Yang simply pulled him up and walked out. He had said his farewell before, so there was no need to say any more. Lin Xuan followed along and remembered something, and turned around and said in a hurry: "Redberry should be almost done recently, if you are free, go to Let's go to the village, Xiaoshan and the others have been talking about it for the past few days."
"Understood, we will go in a few days, pay attention to safety on the road."
"Ah."
***
It is rare for Lin Zhai and Lin Er's family to have lunch together, and they will be resting in the main hall.
"What's the matter? How could that kid Lin Xuan do such a thing?" Suddenly Lin Er's furious voice broke the peace.
Lin Xiang'er and her younger brother sat quietly at the bottom, trying to shrink back when she heard the words, pretending that she didn't exist.
"Master calm down, Xuan'er is still young, so he is easily deceived." Mrs. Lin hurried forward to persuade, but she couldn't help but blame him instead, "Before I said I would call someone back to persuade you, but you Saying that we are nosy about this matter is annoying, and now things have become like this, what is the use of you getting angry at us girls here?"
"You—" Lin Er patted the table, but when he saw the wife and a pair of children opposite, he swallowed the rest of the words immediately, but still said angrily: "Really, who is not good, I chose that one, It's still my servant, don't you know what people outside have said recently? It's so that I don't know where to put my old face. "
Mrs. Lin was speechless for a while, thinking of those wives who have come and gone recently, her words were evasive, but she was trying to beat around the bush just to ask this matter, overtly and covertly, don't people know that they are mocking their family?
Thinking of these second Mrs. Lin, she couldn't help complaining to Lin Xuan. Seeing her daughter sitting quietly in the chair, she felt even more distressed. Recently, because of this incident, Xiang'er hasn't gone out for a whole month.
Fortunately, my daughter is finally leaving the cabinet this month, and the master chose a very good person.
Only then did the mood recover a little bit, and looking at Lin Er who was still angry, he persuaded softly: "Master, don't get so angry, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are gone, it should be our responsibility, if it is not for the master. Busy, otherwise Xiaoxuan would not be allowed to do such a thing. His marriage was done in such a hurry that we didn't have time to react. I have sent people to the village. When Xiang'er gets married, he will come to you again Let’s just say he is.”
When Lin Er heard this, he frowned, but after thinking about it for a while, he also felt that it was reasonable, anyway, he would call someone back at that time, so there was no need to bother.
Thinking of this, his face turned pale, "That's fine, I'll go to the study, and the housekeeper will send someone to come over to Shopkeeper Wang, I have something to say to him."
"Yes, sir."
Mrs. Lin chased after two steps, and reminded her voice: "Hey~ don't be too busy, I'll let the kitchen prepare some food, come out for dinner early."
"Understood." Lin Er replied impatiently, took the butler around a corner and disappeared around the corner.
***
"You said they have already bought more than [-] acres of land? And they have finished planting this year?"
"Yes, sir."
"The county magistrate appreciates him a lot?"
"... I heard it is."
Hearing this, Lin Er was silent for a while, pacing back and forth behind the desk with his hands behind his back, shopkeeper Wang waited with his head slightly lowered, but the young man who followed him was a little impatient, but he also knew where it was, no talkative.
Lin Er walked for a while, stopped in front of the case, looked up at the two of them, and said heavily: "Well, you—come here."
Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly stepped forward and listened attentively. Lin Er also lowered his voice and said something to him like this.
Shopkeeper Wang just said "yes" and "okay" throughout the whole process. The young man tried his best to prick up his ears, but he still only heard these few words.
"...You should take care of this as soon as possible. It's over. You are indispensable for the treasurer's seat. Let those young people do the rest."
"Yes, the little one will definitely do it! Thank you, Master, for your appreciation."
Lin Er waved to the two of them, shopkeeper Wang hurriedly led the people out of the study, and waited for the bright sunlight outside to shine on his body, only then did he feel that the temperature on his body had returned.
The housekeeper congratulated them with a half-smile, and the shopkeeper Wang was also polite with a smile all over his face. When he got out of the gate, the people also went back. Then the shopkeeper Wang heaved a sigh of relief and raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead. .
Seeing shopkeeper Wang's actions, the young man flashed a sarcasm again - after all, he is too old and timid, right?
"Shopkeeper Wang, if there is a small place to help, just ask, the small one will definitely go through fire and water to get the job done for you."
Shopkeeper Wang straightened his face, looked at the young man who he lifted up with one hand, and saw the familiar light in his eyes that couldn't be hidden, and knew that even if he persuaded him now, it was too late.
The blatantly revealing light of ambition is just like me back then... well, just like what the master said, since young people want to climb up, why should he stand in the way of others?Business is not about benevolence and righteousness, so let him be a kind person.
The corner of his mouth was raised slightly, and seeing Shopkeeper Wang hooking his hands at him, the young man hurried over, and Shopkeeper Wang whispered something in his ear.
"...you get this thing done, let's talk about the rest."
"Thank you shopkeeper, thank you cousin!"
Shopkeeper Wang glared, "Xiao Fang, don't blame Uncle for not reminding you in advance, as long as you know about this, Uncle doesn't want you to be like that kid last time..."
The young man Xiao Fang's expression froze when he heard this, and he immediately lost the initial joy, and nodded repeatedly with a pale face, saying that he didn't dare.
"Okay, go back."
Shopkeeper Wang led his people to the rice shop, and he didn't want to just turn the corner when he saw a group of people coming out of the gate of the Yamen on the opposite side of the street, and stopped immediately.
After seeing the person over there clearly, he suddenly felt that today's sunlight was a bit harsh, so he squinted his eyes involuntarily and stared at the other side.
The big boy whose smile is as bright as the sun in the sky under the sun, and the little boy in the arms of the tall man, the two people with almost the same expressions are the brothers of the Lin family who made the master angry before, and the man walking beside him also It was obvious that he knew each other, after all, the two had worked together before.
Shopkeeper Wang looked at the young man striding forward on his side, looked at the three people across the street, and looked up at the sky. The sun was really dazzling!
He is really old!
Looking at the opposite side being amused and giggling, and even across the street, children's whispers could be heard, shopkeeper Wang suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Think about the family's little grandson is also so big this year?I don't know if he will have a day when he will have grandchildren?
Suddenly he laughed at himself, shook his head and continued to walk forward. The two sides walked along one side of the street, but gradually drifted apart.
***
On the mountain road, Xiao Hui walked slowly, and the cart also swayed, making him drowsy.
Maybe it was because of getting used to it, or maybe it was because the speed was very slow, or maybe it was because I got used to this road slowly, Lin Xuan didn't feel uncomfortable, and leaned against Lin Xun, yawning continuously.
Xu Yang looked back at the two of them, with a smile in his eyes, patted Lin Xuan and said in a low voice: "Sit on the inside, be careful not to fall."
Lin Xuan blinked, looked down, and found that Douding had fallen asleep in his arms, hugged him and moved along with him, let him lie sideways on his lap, and then answered Xu Yang's words .
"Are you sleepy? How about I come and watch, and you come to the back and squint for a while."
"It's okay, I'm not sleepy." Xu Yang patted Xiao Hui's back, then crossed his long legs, turned to sit with them, stroked Lin Xuan's face with his big hand, and asked with concern: "Is it very hot?"
Lin Xuan shook his head, "It's okay." Then he put his hand on the back of his hand, "Let's leave the matter on the top of the mountain like this, anyway, those are just sprouting now, and the number is not much, let's plant along the edge of the field at the foot of the mountain for now."
"Okay, I'll get this one when I get back." Xu Yang sat down so that he could rely on himself, which would make him feel more comfortable. "Is the money at home enough? When I passed by before, I saw that there were cows in the workshop." Selling, there is too much land in the house, and Big Hui and Xiao Hui are too busy."
"A cow?"
"Ah."
"Okay, arable land is still more orthodox, so you can go and have a look at it another day, and if it's suitable, you can buy it back. Anyway, this is what you have to buy, while you still have money in hand, but try your best. The price is also reasonable."
"Ah--"
"This is a very serious matter, don't laugh!"
"Okay. Have you been dreaming again recently?"
"Huh? Did you find out?"
"Hmm. The lotus flower in the fish pond and the fruit juice were all told in a dream? The ice..."
"Hey, secret~"
The author has something to say: I’ll come back to the comments at noon, so I’ll get up at six o’clock for the morning meeting, I feel like the leader is very nervous┑( ̄Д ̄)┍
