Depressed little landlord

Since the 'accident' incident that night, Lin Xuan had been thinking more in his heart, but according to his secret observation, he found that the man did not behave abnormally.

Could it be that he is overthinking?

Looking at Xu Yang, who was concentrating on his work, Lin Xuan was full of doubts.

After all, no matter how you look at it, he is not like Liu Xuzhou. Could it be that he is really self-indulgent?Was it really an accidental encounter at night?

But... Looking at it this way, those lips are quite thin... Unexpectedly hot and soft... I don't know how it tastes?It's a pity that I was too surprised last night...

"...Xuan, Xiaoxuan?"

He was staring blankly at Lin Xuan, who saw God somewhere across the way, when he heard someone calling him in a trance, and someone waved his hand in front of him before he came back to his senses.

"Ah? What?" Seeing that the person who called him was the master he had imagined before, Lin Xuan blushed again.

Drink! What is he sorry for?Lin Xuan quickly shook off the unbelievable thought that rose from the bottom of his heart, and asked a little stammeringly: "You, you, what did you say?"

Xu Yang stared at him with doubts: "What are you thinking? Is it very hot? Your face is so red."

Who is responsible for this?Lin Xuan glared at him: "That's what you called me to say?"

Xu Yang looked at him thoughtfully, and after a while, he suddenly smiled, glanced left and right, leaned forward, and said in a deep voice, "What are you thinking, huh?"

The last word "um" was lowered a few degrees, as if it was said close to his ear, which made Lin Xuan's ears itchy, and he raised his hand involuntarily to rub it, and he also moved back.

"You, can't you talk properly?"

"Ah--"

Unexpectedly, a series of low-pitched laughter suddenly sounded from the other side. The other party had laughed like this before, but for some reason this time, Lin Xuan laughed so hard that his face became hot and his heart beat faster.

So it's really not his overthinking, is it?

Lin Xuan ignored him, picked up the corn and prepared to work, not wanting to be snatched away before it even started.

"what are you doing?"

Xu Yang pulled his corn away, and said calmly: "Forgot your hand?"

Lin Xuan paused for a while before saying coyly: "I'll just take it easy, finish it early and sell it earlier. Otherwise, it would take up too much space and worry about mice."

"Then be careful yourself."

"Ah."

"Master Xun, can you drive the geese and ducks aside? I can't wash them like this."

"Gah~~"

Xiaoju was very helpless and anxious to cry. She would move all the clothes that everyone in the family wanted to wash to the wooden barrel, and took a basin to fill the water to prepare for washing.I don’t want the geese and ducks released by Lin Xun early in the morning to run to the front and dangle beside her, pecking at the water basin from time to time, and sometimes even stepping on the clothes she put on when chasing, leaving strings of mud paw prints.

Lin Xun heard this and hurried over to drive them away, but now these few have grown up, and because the Lin family is willing to feed them, they are all long and chubby, and they seem to weigh at least six or seven catties.

Xiaoju also picked up the washboard and waved it, trying to drive them aside, Lin Xuan looked at the washboard, and suddenly his mind brightened.

Why didn't he think of it?

"Xiaoju, lend me the washboard."

Hearing Lin Xuan's question, the rest of the family were taken aback and looked at him one after another.

Xiaoju was very obedient, and when she heard Lin Xuan wanted to use it, she immediately sent it over.

Lin Xuan took it and looked at it, touched it with his hand, and then smiled with satisfaction.Lin Xuan returned it to Xiaoju and said with a smile, "Thank you, Xiaoju."

"Ah, no need, what is this, Master Xuan?"

"It's okay, I just suddenly remembered something, you go ahead."

"Oh." Xiaoju was still at a loss, but obediently went back with the washboard.

"What did you think of?"

When they were the only ones left, Xu Yang looked at Lin Xuan who was still smiling and asked.

Lin Xuan seemed to have forgotten the fighting spirit before, heard the words and raised the corn in his hand, and said with a smile: "This, I think it should be much faster to use that... By the way, let's go now."

Speaking of dropping the corn, he pulled Xu Yang up and walked back, "Come and help."

Seeing them, Lin Xun quickly dropped the ducks and they followed, "Where are you going, brother? Xun'er is going too."

Xu Yang, who was holding hands with Lin Xuan behind him, turned his head and waved to Douding with a smile. Douding suddenly narrowed his eyes and ran over to grab Xu Yang's big hand. The ducks and geese who had been making trouble with Xiaoju before unexpectedly They also followed behind him one after another, running over waddlingly, squawking.

Lin Xuan found a small wooden board, like a washboard, and tried to install some bamboo pieces on it. Xu Yang kept watching him work, and when the bamboo pieces came out, he had roughly guessed that Lin Xuan would What did you do.

Xu Yang picked up the bamboo slices, tested them with his fingers, raised his head and said to Lin Xuan: "This is not good, it is too sharp, and the corn will be scratched."

"I know." Lin Xuan didn't raise his head, he kept wrestling with the board in his hand, trying to figure out how to do it, but now there are no nails here, it's because they don't have that at home, otherwise just nail it and it'll be done.

"I'll plane it smooth when it's done."

"Let me help you." He picked up the knife and scratched a little bit. After a while, seeing that his head was sweating, he put down the things in his hand and brought the wooden board over. "Try it with a cloth bag."

After thinking about it, Lin Xuan thought it was feasible, but he had to solve the problem first.In the end, I tried to make one like a washboard. Lin Xuan tried it excitedly, but the effect was not very satisfactory.

Seeing Lin Xuan feeling a little lost, Xu Yang thought about picking up two corns at the same time and rubbing them against each other.

"You try this. We'll do it again after the washboard thinks about it."

"Yeah." Lin Xuan nodded, took the one that had already been taken off and rubbed it against the intact one, which could indeed relieve the pain in his hands.

When the corn at home is ready and dried, Lin Xuan and the others are planning to take the newly harvested grain to the town to exchange for some money, and pay taxes along the way, just like the villagers.

Lin Xuan, Xu Yang and the others packed up the baskets they were going to take away, and they planned to go to town tomorrow, otherwise, the longer they left them, the more worried they would be bitten by rats, and the noise would make people collapse at night.

Although it is not market day, the town is also very lively because all the villages rush to the town with their newly harvested grain during this time.

Lin Xuan and Xu Yang did not bring Douding with him this time, after all, he brought so much food this time.

When you come to the town, the most lively places are the various rice shops, but there are slight differences, some have a long queue, and some have few.

Lin Xuan looked at the shops that lined up on the street, and then at the rice and corn on his car, feeling a little hopeful in his heart.

Food was always more expensive in ancient times, and I hope their family can sell it at a good price this time.

"Xu Yang, where are we going?" Lin Xuan couldn't help asking with some doubts after seeing several shops with long queues.

Lin Xuan even saw a shop that was in their family before that in his memory, and there was also a long queue there, thinking that those should be shops with better prices and reputation.

Xu Yang didn't answer directly, "We'll be there soon." He also noticed the shop before, and even caught a glimpse of the people inside who were acquaintances, so he wanted to stop before letting the donkey go.

"That one is pretty good, too."

"Oh."

Lin Xuan didn't say anything after hearing that, he just looked at the old Lin's shop and saw that the people inside were busy, so he just glanced briefly and then turned to other things, so he didn't see anyone chasing them out of the shop after their car passed by. people.

"That's... the young master?"

The shopkeeper of the rice shop looked at the car going away and muttered to himself, followed by the man who came out, looked around for a while, and asked suspiciously: "Shopkeeper Wang, what are you looking at?"

"It's nothing... What are you doing here? You haven't gone back to work, haven't you seen everyone so busy?"

"Yes! Yes! I'll go back now, shopkeeper, don't be angry, calm down."

The shopkeeper Wang raised his abacus and said, "Hurry up, you can't eat until you finish!" After speaking, he turned his head and looked over there again, but it was a pity that the meeting had long since disappeared, so he had to shake his head and walk back.

well!It's a pity, a good family, now... Forget it, anyway, he only plans to leave after finishing this month, and he doesn't care about the Lin family's affairs.

"Here we are, come down."

Xu Yang drove the car to a relatively remote alley. If it weren't for the cloth sail with the word "rice" hanging outside the gatehouse, Lin Xuan really wondered if Xu Yang had found the wrong way in a daze.

However, looking at the alley with few people in front and behind, and looking up at the unremarkable shop, Lin Xuan thinks it's pretty much the same.

Xu Yang got out of the car first, walked to the door and shouted: "Is anyone there?"

"coming."

A lazy voice came from inside, making Lin Xuan even more suspicious, is this really for business?

After a while, a young man dressed as a clerk came out from the inside, just like the previous respondent, looking lazy, he just glanced at Xu Yang and the others, and even yawned a lot.

"Thirteen Wen for corn, 25 Wen for high-grade rice, [-] Wen for medium-grade rice, and [-] Wen for low-grade rice. What do you have?"

Lin Xuan was stunned for a while, looked at Xu Yang and then at the guy, and didn't speak for a while.

The guy yawned again, and this time he turned his attention to Xu Yang. Before, he thought that the young man was in charge, but it seems that he made a mistake?

"Uh, it's Brother Xu, why are you here?"

After he saw the man who was closer, the waiter suddenly showed joy, he came to his senses, and hurried down to invite him in.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I didn't see the negligence before, Brother Xu, don't mind, please come inside, please come inside, it's hot outside."

"Xiao Zhang, if you do this again, your shopkeeper will really fire you. Don't blame me for not reminding you."

The clerk clasped his hands together and begged for mercy: "Brother Xu, please don't, if I lose this job again, then I'll really beg for food... Ouch!"

His head was glanced at suddenly, and then a familiar warm voice sounded behind him, so frightened that he swallowed the cry back, turned around with his head in his arms and smiled flatteringly and said: "Dong, Dong, you, calm down, little one, The little one will definitely not dare to do it next time..."

"Okay, I know I'm wrong, why don't you pour tea for the guests? And take the outside car to the back."

"Hey! Let's go, little one."

Xiao Zhang took the order in fear and retreated quickly, but Lin Xuan didn't recover until he was led in and sat down, but just as he recovered, he saw the handsome guy sitting across from him with a smile and greeted him, and suddenly felt a little bit uncomfortable. faint.

"It's the first time we meet, Young Master Lin, I've been admiring you for a long time."

oops!The handsome guy not only has a handsome smile, but also has a nice voice.

"cough!"

Lin Xuan suddenly came back to his senses, looked up, and looked into Xu Yang's dark eyes.

"Master, it's hot, drink tea to cool off."

"oh oh."

Lin Xuan took the teacup in a daze, drank it in a daze, and waited for the tea to slip down his throat into his stomach, moistening his parched throat, and Lin Xuan finally woke up.

"Cough!" Lin Xuan put down his teacup, cleared his throat and finally saw the man's appearance clearly.

"Hi, I'm Lin Xuan."

That man was indeed as he thought before, a gentle young man, with a smile that made people feel like a spring breeze, gentle and refined. Looking at him, Lin Xuan really didn't expect such a man to be in business.

Compared with Liu Wenchuan's impression at the beginning, he looks even less like a businessman.

Seeing Lin Xuan staring at the person again, Xu Yang's eyes flickered, and he introduced to him aloud: "This is the owner of the Qi family rice shop, shopkeeper Qi."

"Uh, shopkeeper Qi, thank you for the tea."

"Qi Ling." Qi Ling glanced at Xu Yang with a smile, and then nodded to Lin Xuan: "The servants at home are not entertained well, so please don't blame Eldest Young Master Lin."

Lin Xuan was almost blinded by the smile again, if it wasn't for the presence of Xu Yang next to him... Lin Xuan hurriedly collected himself, and laughed, "It's okay, we came here unexpectedly today, ha ha."

"Really?" Qi Ling smiled, looked at Xu Yang and shook the fan in his hand, "Brother Xu has been gone for a while, it's a great honor for Qi to visit the humble house again."

At this time, Xiao Zhang ran out again, still yelling: "My boss, my boss, that one is coming to the shopkeeper."

Qi Ling's smile faded slightly, and the movement of shaking the fan paused for a moment, but these were only fleeting, and he smiled and nodded towards Lin Xuan and the others.

"Excuse me for a while, Xiao Zhang, prepare some cakes and tea for Master Lin and the others."

"Yes, Master."

Lin Xuan and Xu Yang hurriedly beckoned to the other party to let him go. After everyone had left, Lin Xuan squinted at Xu Yang and didn't speak for a long time.

Xu Yang drank his tea and ate another snack by himself, and then said to Lin Xuan: "Master, the snacks are good, do you want some?"

"Yes, the tea is also very good."

"Master likes it?"

Lin Xuan gritted his teeth, "Yes, people are even nicer!"

Unexpectedly, Xu Yang really nodded, and replied: "Yes, that's good." Before Lin Xuan's face sank, he suddenly approached him, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Are you angry?"

"..."

The author has something to say: Xuan: Wow!There are handsome guys!

Yang: Huh?

Qi: (^_^), thank you Young Master Lin for your compliment

Xuan: hey~

Yang: ...Hi!Hurry up and take this monster away

? :……Well
