Depressed little landlord

The closer to July, the hotter the weather. Fortunately, the crops have grown and matured smoothly, and people were able to harvest smoothly and on time. However, there is not much joy on everyone's faces, and the harvest has been reduced by more than half as expected. At this time, I just received news from the official post that this year's tax revenue has increased...

People dare not speak out, frowning, and sighing when they see the food that has just been brought back from their homes and has not been dried. Fry on fire.

Some people are sad and others are happy.

For those ordinary people, this is a disaster, but for some businesses, it is a business opportunity.

Some people in the town changed their previous decadence, secretly excited at home, and even ordered the servants to make persistent efforts to strive for more food. After a while or half a year, they will only make money but not lose money. .

Lin Er, who got the news, was naturally relieved a lot, because that person kept staring at Lin Xuan, so he knew the news that Wangshan Village and even Lin Xuan's harvest was halved, and he knew it immediately. This made his mood, which had been getting worse recently, a little better.

At that time, there were servants coming to report the news, and there was some kindness in his face, he was no longer gloomy or angry before, and he didn't even get angry when he heard that he couldn't get the contract, he just waved his hands coldly to let people go down Rest and continue to speed things up to find things out.

This made the young man who came to pass the news even more terrified while being confused.

Lin Er's mood lasted for several days, until there was news of a new diet in a restaurant, and he didn't know this until his precious son came to fight with him again, and almost dropped the teacup at that time.

And he became even more determined to bring down this nephew.

"Did Xiaoxuan go to the old house last time when he came?"

When I went back to the room at night, Lin Er seemed to mention it casually, and Mrs. Lin no doubted it. He nodded after hearing this, "Yes, I was the one who gave me the key at that time, and said that I wanted to see the old house of my elder brother and sister-in-law. ...Why did the master suddenly think of asking this?"

"Oh, it's nothing, just ask." Lin Er smiled, picked up the cup and drank a dozen cold boiled water, pondered for a while and asked: "When you saw Xiaoxuan and the others, what did they take when they left? ?"

Mrs. Lin shook her head without thinking about it, "The servant girl said that she didn't see anything taken."

Lin Er listened and took a sip in silence. Although the windows were open and there was a bit of wind, the sweat was still flowing like water, which made him very uncomfortable. Suddenly thinking of his son's words, he couldn't help drinking water, quite curious He asked calmly: "That... What Cai Er said is true, does Xiang's kid really sell cold food?"

Mrs. Lin didn't know why he changed the subject so quickly, but she still replied thoughtfully: "Yeah, I don't know where he got the news from, but we started arguing when we got together this morning, asking whether we want to eat or drink ice cream " She was also surprised as she said that, and then said with a sigh: "The shopkeeper Xiang is really capable, and he can get such precious ice, but why haven't I seen him use it before?"

Lin Er was noncommittal, he thought more, he was not without doubts about this, let alone him, if this news was true, the whole town and even Fucheng would be alarmed.

but……

Lin Er frowned: "Has someone asked to find out?" Ordinarily, it is impossible for him to receive such important information in the first place, but why did he hear it because of a child... This is too abnormal.

"Also, whether this news is true or not, don't let the child make a few nonsense and take it seriously."

Mrs. Lin Er gave him a displeased glance: "Do you believe me or Cai Er? Since our mothers are mild-spoken, then you should find someone who believes it. Our mothers are moving people's nests." "It seemed to be true as he said it, and when he thought of the words he had heard from his good wife and sisters before, his eyes turned red from sadness, and he turned his back and wiped the corners of his eyes with a silk handkerchief.

"..." Lin Er had no choice but to coax people softly, "What nonsense are you talking about? What are you doing behind my back? Why are you talking nonsense? I, Lin Er, still don't know what kind of person I am. Don't listen to other people's nonsense and really listen to it."

"But……"

"But what?" Lin Er's tone was sharp, and he immediately interrupted Mrs. Lin Er's words, and her shoulders with her back turned could not help shivering. Turning the person around, seeing her red eyes and moist corners, her heart softened even more, and her tone became softer: "Ma'am, my husband didn't mean to blame you, but you also know that you have been really busy recently. That's why I left you two in the cold, so that others are spreading rumors... It's all my husband's fault, after this busy time, I will definitely accompany you two."

"master……"

Lin Er helped her wipe away the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes, and smiled softly: "If Madam misses Xiang'er, then we can go to Fucheng to see her, and visit Big Brother Liu and the others by the way."

Hearing this, Mrs. Lin couldn't help showing a look of surprise: "Really?" As soon as her daughter left home, she couldn't help but miss her. Now hearing her husband's words is indeed the biggest surprise.

Just as he was about to continue to say something, a servant girl heard from outside the door that the young master was looking for him. Lin Er hurriedly coaxed again: "Okay, put it away quickly, Cai'er is here, don't let the child laugh at you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the chubby Lin Cai rushed in, and the maid only had time to say "Master", Lin Er came in when he saw him so carefree, and couldn't help frowning, but he didn't say the same reprimand.

"Cai'er is here."

Lin Cai seemed to have noticed that his father was there at this time, and seeing his stern face, he couldn't help but flinch, but he let go again the next second, ran over and took his mother's hand, shaking and begging coquettishly: "Mom~ I I want ice watermelon and ice sugar water~ Mother, let’s buy some to eat? I’m going to die of heat~”

Before Mrs. Lin Er could speak, Lin Er took up the conversation first: "Cai'er, how do you know this?"

Although Lin Cai was a little puzzled, his father's serious expression made him dare not answer, so he answered honestly, "Yes, it was the black dog who said it."

Hearing this, Lin Er and his wife couldn't help frowning at the same time, but they didn't say anything. They also knew that this black dog was a child of a servant in their family, and it happened to be in the son's yard, so it's no wonder.

Lin Er's heart moved, he pulled his son over with one hand and asked again: "Did he say anything else? About your elder brother and them, think carefully."

Lin Cai frowned when he heard this, his fleshy face was also wrinkled into several grooves, and finally shook his head.Lin Er also frowned, and accidentally grasped one of his hands, causing the little fat man to shrink his neck in pain, but he was a little timid when he saw his father's unhappy face. Although his father usually doted on him, he would occasionally scold him. He...so he didn't dare to say anything when he was scratched and hurt, so he could only look at his mother for help.

"Okay, what does he know as a child? Don't scare the child, Cai'er is here, mother will let that person buy it later." Mrs. Lin Er pulled the person to her side, and tidied up for him comfortingly. Tucking the skirt of his clothes, he said softly: "But is this news accurate?"

When he got to his mother's side, Lin Cai became more confident. Hearing the words, he nodded hurriedly, and couldn't help but start acting coquettishly again: "Really! Heigou'er said that he saw with his own eyes that Xiaopang next door to a restaurant ate food, and Xiaopang also gave it to him himself. Like I said, I wasn't the only one there."

snort!That kid was deliberately pulled here to show off to them!

Lin Er was silent. Although it was just a child's words, he was somewhat sensitive to the news about a restaurant recently... "If there is, let that person buy more. If," it would be even better if he could get ice ...But he didn't say that.

Mrs. Lin Er nodded and agreed.

Lin Er patted his son's head and stood up, "I still have something to do, call me after dinner."

"it is good."

Lin Er went to the study room, called the butler and gave some instructions, and then let people go down, thinking in the room by himself.

Fucheng came to urge again, but what is this deed, he still doesn't know what it is like?

Lin Er patted the table angrily, not wanting to pat himself in pain instead, and felt even more irritable.

When his elder brother brought back the deed, he didn't even let him take a look at it, but he searched the old house before, and there was nothing at all, and now the wife said that Lin Xuan and the others didn't bring anything back... Could it be that they didn't bring anything back? That kid was taken away from the beginning?

Lin Er squeezed the space between his eyebrows, thinking about how to get someone to get the things back from the Lin family. As far as he knows, that kid has someone at home every time, so it's really not easy to get them back quietly...

Lin Er stayed in the study for a long time, until Mrs. Lin Er sent someone to call, but she still couldn't think of a safe way, so she had to come out irritably, not wanting to let his wife think wildly again.

But the matter of harvesting food needs to be stepped up. If something really happens, he can prepare for it. He must be more admired than his big brother! A more successful and wealthy person!

***

Lin Xuan and the others have been very busy recently. They found something by the small lake, but before he could test it, the crops in the field were stuck and ripe, and they began to be busy harvesting rice, breaking corn cobs, and There are all kinds of melons and vegetables, and they are busy rushing to grow them. It is about saltpeter, so someone sent a message to let Xiang Qing go to the village, and personally showed him how to use saltpeter. Lin Xuan just threw him a few orders and let him figure it out by himself.

Xiang Qing saw that they were really busy, and with this new discovery, he didn't mind the husband and wife being the hands-off shopkeeper at all. out of town.

Of course, there are things and prescriptions that he covered tightly, even Qi Ling, he didn't say anything, but fortunately, Qi Ling understood him, didn't complain, and even consciously avoided him.Although they have a marriage contract, there is still a Qi family behind him. No, Xiang Qing just pushed it out, and his father sent someone to find him to talk to.

Although I didn't say anything about these things, I just asked him to help more. Don't make Xiang Qing too tired. If you don't have enough manpower, you can talk to the family or something. He also said that their marriage is coming soon, and if you need anything else, go to Third Auntie. , They let people prepare, so as not to delay their marriage.

Qi Ling quickly agreed, and finally returned to the room, and then the third aunt called again, so he had no choice but to go see the person again, but the third aunt didn't say anything, she just asked him to pay more attention to his body, and Xiang Qing, even He even reminded him to be more careful, not to interfere too much with Xiang Qing's affairs for the time being, and to talk about it after getting married.

Qi Ling sincerely agreed this time, and was able to go back to his room to rest until almost midnight.

But Lin Xuan and Xu Yang only knew about these things from Xiang Qingna's slip-up.

"Qi Ling is not bad, you have to hurry up and marry him back home." Lin Xuan teased him with a smile.

Xiang Qing raised his chin: "Of course, what do you need to say?"

Xu Yang thumped him: "If you are impatient, hurry up and build the house. When you think about it, you will break the house and bring the person back?"

After hearing this, Xiang Qing patted himself on the forehead: "Look at my memory! No, I have to go back right away. If you don't prepare the materials quickly, it will be too late when you are all busy."

"Go, we are waiting for your good news, waiting to be neighbors with you~"

"Hey~ Okay, eh? Why don't you guys start another one? This one is a bit small right now? Look at your servants all crowded together in one room." Ice is so precious, how can it be used for this?

Lin Xuan and Xu Yang looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

"talk later."

"Okay, let me know when you've thought about it, and we'll order the materials together." He winked at Lin Xuan, "It can be cheaper."

Lin Xuan: "..."
