Depressed little landlord

"What are you all doing for food? Why is there no good news yet? What's the use of me raising you if I can't handle this matter?"

"Old...Master, please calm down. The little ones really..."

"I don't care if you are true or not, just settle the matter for me quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

"Aren't you going soon?"

After a rustle followed by the creak of the door opening and closing, the study fell into silence.It took a while before the sound sounded again.

"A bunch of trash!"

A book was thrown on the ground, and it hit the foot of the person opposite with a slap. After a while, it was picked up by a pair of wrinkled hands, followed by an old voice.

"Master, why should you be angry with these people? If you are so angry, Madam should be worried."

The man behind the desk was silent for a while, then sighed, his tense expression seemed a little relaxed, his straight back relaxed slightly, he pinched his brows and said wearily: "Uncle Rong, you know, if this If the matter is not implemented sooner, I really can't feel at ease for a moment."

"The old slave knows, but this matter will not be completed in a short while. Besides, if an adult comes forward, no matter how capable the kid is under such conditions, he will be able to do it in such a short time. Master, relax and be patient. Wait." The old man who was called Uncle Rong took a small step forward, and he emerged from the shadows with a little joy on his face.

"Besides, the young master is still here. Didn't the news spread that there are a few more business deals these days? And now that the rain has stopped, maybe the young master and wife will come back soon?"

Hearing his son, the master's face finally relaxed, "According to the days, it's time to come back. Who would have thought that it would rain so much before? The madam is always talking about it these days, ordering you to go on, be more diligent, and wait for the young master and madam to arrive in Haosheng." waiting."

"Yes, the old slave must have made arrangements properly, master, don't worry."

"Well, if you have nothing to do, step back, I want to be quiet for a while."

Uncle Rong opened his mouth to persuade him again, but he closed his mouth again when he saw the master's tired expression, and then quietly exited the study.

The sun was still shining outside, but the doors and windows in the study were all closed, and the windows were covered with thick window paper, making the room much darker, and the master stayed in the dark of the room specially, so it was really hard to see people's faces without looking carefully.

"Sir, there is news."

"What is it?"

"According to the news from that person, it is not feasible for us to take back the land. At the beginning, that person and that person negotiated and signed a contract, so..."

"...Does that person still have that book?"

Uncle Rong shook his head, "The person who delivered the news didn't reveal much, but that person also sent a message to the people below, and quietly checked, and it was gone, maybe it was lost or brought to the mansion by that person at that time. What that person means is that as long as he gets the share from the Lin family, then this matter will be easy to handle, otherwise he won't take care of it anymore...Master, do you see?"

"...Since that's the case, you should find someone who is stricter and go to the Lin family to find out the deed and deal with it."

"Yes." Uncle Rong was about to leave, but stopped when he remembered that he still had something to say, "Master, according to news, the young master and the others are halfway there."

"Oh, I see."

Uncle Rong left silently, closed the door and turned around, just in time to see his wife and maidservants coming from the other end of the corridor, and quickly stepped forward to greet him.

When the middle-aged beautiful woman saw him, she looked at the closed study over there, and frowned slightly: "Master is busy again?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Can the master have meals? I asked the kitchen to stew chicken soup. No matter how busy the master is, he can't get tired. Is there anyone else in the study?" The beautiful woman walked slowly towards the study while talking.

Naturally, Uncle Rong also saw the soup cup being carried by the servant girl behind him, so he didn't stop him, and followed his wife to the study room, while answering what she said, he told the most recent things that he could tell, the beautiful woman listened On the surface, it finally got better.

"It's good that Zhou'er is back, and it's also good to share some of the burden. The master has been so busy recently... Okay, give me the soup, and I'll just bring it in. You guys go back first."

The two maids were blessed and responded in unison: "Yes, ma'am."

Uncle Rong also bowed to the beautiful woman, and then left with the two servant girls.

The beautiful woman raised her hand and gently knocked on the door, then said softly, "Master, it's me."

"Come in."

Go back a little bit.

Lin Xiang'er from Liuxu Prefecture left for Fucheng three days after the rain stopped. She had gone to Wangshan Village before and wanted to go back, but she didn't want it to rain heavily the next day, so she wanted to wait. The rain stopped before we left. I didn’t expect it to last for so long. Originally, they had a carriage and were not afraid of the rain, and they were taking the official road. Seeing the heavy rain, the second lady was not at ease, and this delay has been until now.

And Liu Xuzhou is not in vain in the town these days, he also knows a thing or two about the secret turmoil in the town, and in order to help the Yue family, he visited various places in the town with Lin Er and a few shopkeepers of the Lin family. As a merchant, they naturally got more news.

The Liu family is also a merchant, and he himself has some talent for doing business. It's not like they haven't done it before hoarding food in advance. Merchants are always after profits. As long as they don't go too far and are capable, most people will Do.

With his help, Lin Er has indeed received a lot of stored food during this period. If what everyone imagined happens, he will definitely make a lot of money.

When the rain stopped, those who planned in secret were somewhat disappointed, but seeing the sun was so abnormal, they were secretly happy again, hoping that the sun would be stronger and last longer.Although they were also made extremely hot by this day, but compared to the days when they started with a lot of money, patience is still passable.

While thinking in my heart, I told my family members to queue up at a restaurant every morning, just to grab a couple of pieces of melon, or a cold melon rind...

Lin Er dropped the cup in his hand more than once, scolding Lin Xuan and Xu Yang for being unfilial, except that the son-in-law and daughter went to the village and brought back three watermelons, and it is said that they brought the in-law's share...

"That bastard little bastard, isn't it just a melon? As for being so stingy? Cai'er is his younger brother, does he still treat me as his second uncle? He is reluctant to give a melon, but giving it away to others for nothing is driving me to death. "

Lin Er was cursing and cursing in the main hall, and Mrs. Lin Er was softly persuading her beside her, and she had to be distracted to coax the crying baby son next to her, who wanted to eat melons.

"Okay, master, so is Cai Er, what's the point of doing this? Fortunately, Zhou'er Xiang'er is not at home to go back to Fucheng to buy things. If Zhou'er sees this appearance, what face do you have, master?" Finally Seeing that neither of them listened to her, Mrs. Lin couldn't hold back and raised her voice. After the two of them stopped for a while, she continued with a little fatigue: "Besides, it's not easy for Xuan'er and the others. I haven't seen Xu Yang say it." Well, there were not many watermelons when it rained before, if there were more watermelons, could it still be like this? With Xuaner's temperament, I can lose the mouthfuls of melons you two have..."

"But mother, Cai'er just wants to eat now!" Lin Cai didn't wait for her to finish, and howled to eat again, "I think they are reluctant, what's the matter with giving us one? I said that I would pay twice as much." Don't give it to me, anyway, I don't care, I will eat it!"

Mrs. Lin was helpless, and felt distressed when she saw her son was sweating from the heat, so she coaxed softly: "Mother knows, let someone buy more for Cai Er tomorrow, don't worry now, mother will get it for you Would you like some mung bean soup?"

Hearing that he had to wait until tomorrow, Lin Cai was not very willing, and Lin Er also heard that the servants in the family were going to squeeze in with others tomorrow morning, just to grab that piece of melon, and his face suddenly became even more ugly. He was rejected, and now his family members have to line up to buy melons when they see him. How does this make him stay in the town?

Thinking of the mocking faces of other people, he hurriedly shouted with a sullen face: "Don't go!"

The sound startled the mother and son, and Lin Cai's howling suddenly fell silent.

"If that kid still recognizes me as the second uncle, he should have delivered it to his door... If it's not right in the town, you can just ask someone to go to the village to get it? Why bother with others?"

"Ah, good!" Lin Cai immediately exclaimed, "Mother, Dad is right, there are other people in the town named Xu... Brother-in-law can't give it to us, so let's go to Big Brother to get it, okay?"

Lin Er also nodded, thinking that this method is good, it must be because there are outsiders like Xiang Qing who brought him to the shop, and that kid Xu Yang can't just give it to Cai Er, now they go directly to the village, it's not because they want to eat as much as they want How many things?It is estimated that for the sake of business, saying that there are few melons is an excuse, right?Xiang'er and the others went there before, didn't they just bring three back?At that time, it was said that it was just mature, so it must be a lot more mature now, right?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt it was right. The father and son looked at each other and swallowed their saliva at the same time. The more they felt that it was feasible, the second Mrs. Lin still felt that it was wrong, but seeing the longing expressions of the two, she swallowed the words again when she wanted to persuade her. Thinking that what the two of them said might be true?

Seeing that there was no objection, Lin Er called people in and gave some instructions, telling them to rush to Wangshan Village to bring back some watermelons. While his daughter and son-in-law were still there, he might bring one or two for his in-laws.

Watermelon is also a rarity on their side, so he has some face in front of Brother Liu.

***

After Xu Yang got the news, he stayed in the town for another day, and returned to the village with the donkey cart early the next morning when Mu Muqiangzi arrived to deliver the melons.

It was only dawn when they returned, so it could be seen that they should have left in the middle of the night.

Even though it's only been two days since we separated, but he still cares about the two babies in his heart. Sitting on the back panel car, looking at the mountains in the distance, Xu Yang touched the package beside him, and a smile appeared on his serious handsome face. Come.

Fortunately, he did not disappoint Xiaoxuan's entrustment, and let him find the things smoothly. I hope he will not be too happy when he gets home.

"Grandpa, it's a hot day. Buying these things will stink when you get home, but it's okay to chop and feed the chickens." Mu Mu, who was usually silent, took the initiative to speak.

Qiangzi then looked at the basket in the middle of the kanban cart, and now the bottom of the basket was still dizzy, and he was also worried. He had moved it up before, and he also took a look at the things inside, so he naturally knew why Mu Mu asked.

But my heart is more curious, there is still a bit of coolness inside, and I wonder if the well in the shopkeeper's house is so powerful?It can store cold air for such a long time.

Xu Yang replied with a smile: "Of course you will know when you go back. Hurry up and try to get home before sunrise. It's really not good for things to bask in the sun."

"Okay!" Upon hearing this, Mu Mu quickly patted Da Hui's rear buttocks, and Da Hui also knew how to speed up immediately.

The three of them hurried and hurried, and they didn't get home until the sun was shining on the whole village.

The author has something to say: Happy Dragon Boat Festival!Hurry up, it's still past twelve o'clock, is it still an addition? π_π
