Depressed little landlord

The weather has entered midsummer, and the high temperature has continued. Although it is surrounded by green trees and forests, facing the scorching heat, even the village is very difficult.

Especially in the afternoon, not to mention human figures, even animals are rarely seen. Usually, you will see groups of adult chickens or hens belonging to the Lin family and their chicks on the roadside or in the grass in the village, cooing and chirping It’s so lively, and now it’s gone, only occasionally I saw one or two lying lazily under the tree or in the grass, even the two majestic and good-looking big white geese and their two Only the attendants did not come out to "patrol the mountain", only the cicadas in the trees were crying feebly.

Wind, of course there is no such thing.Even if there is, it is still hot, which will only make people feel hotter and hotter.

The recovered grain is drying in the yard, and the naughtiest child is just hiding under the eaves, nodding his head for a while, trying to sleep or not, thinking in his heart that the weather is like this, and the birds must be He didn't know how to steal food, so he leaned against the door panel and fell asleep with his neck up and his mouth open.

The adults are not idle. They are still busy in the field at this time. The spring harvest has just been harvested, and they are rushing to plow it again. I have some experience, and I know in my heart that the heavy rain the month before last still caused damage to the crops. No matter how difficult it is now, everyone is still full of energy, and I look forward to a good income in autumn.

Of course, Wangshan Village and Lizigou are the only ones who are busy in this way. Although other surrounding villages have heard about it, they can't get the specific essentials. They want to follow, but they are afraid that the food will be ruined in the end. So except for a few bold people, this I always feel a little sad, or I just go into the mountains, hoping to find some food to supplement the income of the family.

In the town, the closer the grain harvest was, the more nervous it became.Because it is said that Gu Guanshi, who is said to be from Fucheng, has become the hottest person in the town recently, and everyone wants to chat and make some connections.

When I heard the rumor that the lord wanted to get to know everyone in the town, I was so excited when I specially wanted to have a banquet in the biggest restaurant in the town, and they all went through their own warehouses to see if there was anything that would make the lord in charge look good and be promoted If you take a look at your own business, even if you don't reach the sky in one step, at least you will make some progress, and you will be able to get ahead in the town by then.

Hearing the report from the servant, Lin Er fell into deep thought, a little uncertain whether that person really came from there, and he also sent someone to Liu's house to inquire about the truth as soon as he received the news. It's just that the distance is a bit far, so he was a little hesitant when he received the post and hadn't received a reply.

"Master, what is there to worry about? Whether he is real or not, he really doesn't look like an ordinary person. Wouldn't it improve our family's business with such a relationship?" Mrs. Lin saw him struggling there. Sad, so I couldn't hold back to speak out to persuade.

Lin Er just looked up at her after hearing this. Although his brows didn't stretch out, he didn't mean to blame her: "What you said is not unreasonable, but..." After a pause, he hesitated to speak, and finally He just waved at her a little irritably, "I'll think about it again, you can go back to your room and rest."

The Second Madam Lin opened her mouth, but finally closed her mouth and turned and exited the study without a word, but she couldn't help but look back when she was going out. Under the dim candlelight, the person next to her pillow who had been with her for many years seemed so A moment of strangeness...

"master……"

In the end, her mouth was faster than her brain and she yelled subconsciously, but after the man heard that he had looked at this side and responded with "um", she forced a smile to suppress the panic that suddenly appeared in her heart, and finally He didn't say anything, but told him not to stay too late, to go back to rest early, and after getting the man's consent, he turned around and crossed the threshold, and brought the maid back to the room.

Although the candles in the study were covered by lampshades, they flickered with the summer wind blowing through the open windows at night, making the faces of the people sitting quietly behind the desk fluctuate.

I don't know how long he sat there before Lin Er suddenly came back to his senses. Looking towards the door, he caught a glimpse of the old butler still standing there dutifully, waiting for his summons at any time. He looked away and suddenly clenched his fists. Finally, he made a decision and said aloud. He called people in and gave some instructions in a low voice.

"...You can handle this matter yourself, settle the matter as soon as possible, and try to collect the new food as much as possible before those people."

The old housekeeper nodded in response, "Yes." When he was about to leave after speaking, he asked a little hesitantly, "Where is Guanshi?"

"You also arrange to prepare some gifts for this matter. I will go there at that time. I have to go to the meeting, lest people say that our people here are not well received."

"Yes."

Lin Er waved his hand to make people retreat, but when the other party turned around, he thought of something and stopped him again: "Wait... so, let's send someone to Qi's house and listen to what they have to say."

The old housekeeper understood what he meant as soon as he heard it, so he bowed his promise again and turned around to go out. Regardless of whether it was night or not, he waved his hand to invite people and ordered the people below to take care of things.

Lin Er listened to the old butler whispering orders outside, and when the silence returned to outside, he seemed to be relieved as if he had just let go of some worries at this time, and squeezed his brows to get up and plan to go back to his room to rest.

***

Qi's side courtyard, the moon is very bright tonight, even without the lanterns, the road can be seen more clearly.

The third aunt had just returned to her small courtyard from the main house. When she passed the lotus pond, a gust of wind suddenly blew in. With the fragrance of lotus, she involuntarily glanced into the pond, and saw the same white petals under the white moonlight. With the breeze blowing, the petals seem to sparkle, just like white jade petals, mysterious and charming.

Third Yiniang stopped involuntarily, causing the two maidservants behind her to also stop.

It took a long time for the two of them to hear the sighs and murmurs of the third aunt.It must be whispering, anyway, if the two of them hadn't been paying attention, they really wouldn't have heard what Auntie said.

"Where is the master resting tonight?"

The two looked at each other for a while, but fortunately, the girl on the left was smarter, and immediately replied in a low voice: "I heard from Fugui that she has been in the study all this time and hasn't come out yet. Do you want it, miss?"

"Oh, it's nothing." Third Auntie paused for a moment and didn't ask again. She didn't pay attention before and asked out of sheer impatience. Fortunately, she is now in her own yard, and the surroundings are far away from other people. What she said before should be No one else heard... "Forget it, go back to the house. Tomorrow, you all go and tell the Sixth Young Master that the lotus pods in the pond are over."

"Yes." The two girls agreed in unison, and then silently followed behind without making a sound.

The third aunt looked at those lotus flowers, her beautiful face was tinged with sadness, her brows were slightly frowned, she thought of her son who was still away from home, and Qi Ling who was helping Xiang Qing busy recently, when she thought of That well-behaved and quiet child looked worried again.

"Ling'er has been..."

He stopped before he finished speaking, but this time his pace was a little quicker. When he entered the door, he quietly watched the maids light the candles and bring new tea, and finally there were only two close maids left. Only then did he speak again: "Ling'er, are they preparing materials recently?"

After being stunned for a moment, the girl from before replied again: "Miss, it is said that Mr. Xiang has indeed been buying tiles recently, and the day is getting closer. It must be that the young master and the others are in a hurry to build the house first."

"Yes, this servant has asked someone to inquire about it. Mr. Xiang and the others are indeed going to start construction recently, but it is said that the village is still busy planting seedlings recently, so it is estimated that Mr. Xiang and the others are making preparations in advance."

The third aunt nodded after listening, pondered for a while and said: "Xi'er, tomorrow, you can go and bring some silver over by the way, let Ling'er and the others buy more good ones, if there is not enough, come and tell me."

Xi'er was a little puzzled: "Shouldn't you ask Master Six to come see Miss? Miss has not seen for a while, right?"

"No." Third Auntie paused, a trace of reluctance flashed across her face, but she still shook her head, and repeated, "No." Then she waved her hand slightly to signal them to back off.

Xi'er wanted to continue persuading, but was stopped by the girl next to her. The other party shook her head at her, looked at San Yiniang's slightly tired face, opened her mouth and finally said nothing, but quietly exited the inner room with her partner .

As soon as he came out, Xi'er couldn't wait to grab the other party and asked in a low voice: "Sister Rou, what did you do to hold me back just now? The young lady misses the third young master and the sixth young master very much. The third young master is not here, so let the sixth young master come and see what the young lady has?" wrong"

Rou'er is slightly taller than Xi'er, and is also older. Looking at this little girl who is wholeheartedly for the sake of the young lady, but has a relatively simple mind, she really regards her as a younger sister. Among the few little girls from the Qi family, there are only two of them who are still with the young lady...

Sighing silently, he approached her and said softly, "Master Xiang's business is so good now, it's good if Master Ling doesn't come back. If Miss calls Master back at this time, then Master Xiang's prescription will be returned..." Closer She whispered in her ear, "Don't use your brain to think about it, do you think Master Ling doesn't want to come back to see Miss? It's been almost a month since I came back, what do you think it's for?"

Xi'er was still puzzled at first, but when Rou'er pointed to the main room, her eyes widened after a while, and she almost cried out in surprise, but luckily she reacted in time.

He took a deep breath and Bibi's main room—could it be?

"..." Rou'er nodded silently.

Xi'er covered her mouth to prevent herself from accidentally making a sound.She wasn't stupid in the first place, she just didn't turn the corner for a while before, now that she figured it out, she couldn't help frowning a pair of thin eyebrows, and lowered her voice to the lowest.

"But the young master is going to marry Mr. Xiang. Mr. Xiang is not a stingy person, is he?"

"Why don't you understand?" Rou'er pointed to her forehead, and also replied in a low voice: "As long as the young master doesn't come back, the matter of the prescription... It's not easy for the master to ask the young master to come back directly... But if the young lady calls Ling Ling now The young master has called back, if the madam sends someone to call, or asks the young lady to speak, when you say that, will Young Master Ling say it or not?"

"...That's why Miss resisted us to call Young Master Ling back?" Xi'er suddenly realized, but she frowned again in the next second, "But it's hard for Miss, the third young master doesn't stay at home all year round. And Young Master Ling, now... what's the matter, the master is doing such a big business now, and still cares about Mr. Xiang and the others..."

Rou'er didn't wait for her to finish speaking this time, she just gave her a look and didn't answer, then turned around and went out to ask someone to prepare water for the young lady to bathe, it's getting late, and the weather is so hot, it's better to ask someone to prepare more water, so that the young lady doesn't need to prepare water in the middle of the night Didn't sleep well.

Small?Probably a simple person like Xi'er thinks so.It is estimated that the young master also thought of this long ago, so he did not come back these days, he just asked people to come back to report safety.

And Xi'er was also startled by the stare, she didn't dare to complain anymore, hurriedly followed, and soon heard what the other party said to her in front, but the content was much simpler.

"When you see the young master tomorrow, remember not to talk nonsense, and bring back some words for the young lady."

"Hey~ Do you want to bring some more ice water back? I saw that the young master sent someone to deliver it last time, and the lady ate an extra bowl of rice. Don't worry, I will do it secretly and won't let others know."

"...Forget it, be careful yourself." Rou'er wanted to refuse at first, but she thought that when Mr. Xiang first thought of making cold drinks, he sent some to the family. Because of Young Master Ling, the young lady was also lucky. Yes, at that time the young lady really wanted to talk about it, so she changed her mouth when she said it.

In this hot summer, everyone's appetite is really bad, and the young lady is much thinner. "Try not to let people in other rooms know, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to the lady."

"understood."
