The Concubine of Crossing

In the early morning of the next day, Niu Dazhuang waited at the entrance of the inn. It seemed that he really wanted to come over every day to guard people.

Li Xiao beckoned and invited him in for breakfast.

The house was bought yesterday, and the family of four went in and walked around yesterday afternoon. They were quite satisfied with the layout, and Luo Changfu asked someone to arrange it. It would take a few days to move in.

It's just that Young Master Luo's request is a bit strange. The flowers and plants in the yard have been pulled out, and they are going to be planted with vegetables.

Luo Changfu has become numb to his son's new strange hobby.It's okay, it's my own house anyway, I like to play around, at most, when other people come to show the beauty of the house, their home will show the lush fruits and vegetables.

Well, you can replace all the landscape trees with fruit trees, and the children can pick them and eat them at any time when they are ripe.

The maids and servants who buy at home should also be able to serve fruits and vegetables...

As Luo Changfu thought about it, he continued to talk about the request, and the craftsman in charge was stunned by what he said, and he couldn't recover for a long time.

After Luo Changfu finished speaking, seeing that the craftsman hadn't recovered, he couldn't help but frowned. Xiaodouzi said that this person has a good reputation. Why did he think this person is stupid? He asked, "Do you think it's too difficult?"

The craftsman finally came to his senses and shook his head again and again, "It's not difficult, it's not difficult!" It was because it was so easy that he felt a little unbelievable.Who doesn't want to make their house more exquisite and beautiful, why is this house so different?But this is the hobby of the owner, they just need to do their own work well.

Luo Changfu waved his hand, "Let's go!" He is busy now, his son's house and shop have all been bought, and he needs to take a good look at what should be arranged, what should be arranged, what should be bought, and what should be bought. People... With the experience in Pucheng, he thinks that it is better to buy the manpower from the matchmaker. The deed of prostitution is in his own hands. If he wants to do something, he must first weigh his own life.

Now that Luo Changfu was at home to deal with it, Luo Laibao decided to go with Niu Dazhuang.He is a farmer, and he doesn't do any work. Running here every day is also a waste of work.

So Luo Laibao waved his hand and went out with his wife and two young servants. Just as they were about to go out, Xiangniang followed and said that she wanted to go to the mountain to see if there were any fragrant flowers and plants. .

Xiangniang was accepted by Luo Laibao by name in this life. In the last life, it was Xiangniang who took good care of them during their most difficult days, so Luo Laibao still trusts and respects Xiangniang very much.

On weekdays, Xiangniang followed Zhou quietly, like an ordinary little girl, she had no sense of presence, and she never asked for anything. Now she suddenly said that she wanted to follow, Luo Laibao really couldn't refuse.

Niu Dazhuang said that the roads there were not very easy to walk, and the ox carts could only go halfway at most. Luo Laibao thought that he could save some effort. Since he wanted to buy grain, he must buy an ox cart.

So when they were waiting to go out, Li Xiao, Luo Laibao, Niu Dazhuang, Sanzi and Xiaodouzi sat in an ox cart, and Niu Dazhuang eagerly took the initiative to take the position of driver.

As for the other car, Xiangniang and Li Liancao were sitting on it.Luo Laibao thought that Guangxiangniang was not very good as a girl, so he called the tomboy-like day lily over to be Xiangniang's companion.

The coachman of the two of them was an old man who followed from Pucheng. Few people knew his name. His surname was Cao, but everyone liked to call him a bad old man.

In fact, the old man is not that old, he is only over 40 years old, he is the leader in driving a horse-drawn cart, and driving an ox cart...cough, he is a little bit inferior.

When Niu Dazhuang was driving the ox cart, his expression was so excited, "Oh, I can drive too. Tsk tsk, the village head's house in our village has an ox cart. It looks like something precious. We don't even let us touch it on weekdays. Touch it."

The bad old man was driving the ox cart slowly behind, listening to the excited voice of Niu Dazhuang in front, he didn't want to say anything today.

After leaving the city, there were still many people on the road at the beginning, but Niu Dazhuang directed the road, and he seemed to be walking more and more sideways.Niu Dazhuang reluctantly stopped the ox cart when he reached a small path that even the ox cart could not enter, pointed to the small path and said, "Just go this way."

Li Xiao calculated the time and thought about what to do, it would take half an hour. If he had to walk, he would probably be able to walk for an hour.

But listening to Niu Dazhuang's tone, there was still half of the journey to be done in the past.

Li Xiao looked at Luo Laibao, Luo Laibao looked at Xiangniang, Xiangniang picked up a basket from the bullock cart and carried it on her body.Luo Laibao looked at Hemerocallis again, and the little girl nodded, indicating that she was fine.

Since everyone thought it was all right, Luo Laibao waved his hand, "Let's go." As for the bullock cart, the bad old man drove him to the woods to rest.

Probably due to the large number of people walking, the mountain road is not as difficult as imagined.Needless to say, Niu Dazhuang, a man who grew up in the mountains, dares to climb even the steepest mountains. This kind of road is no different from the stone road to him.

Li Xiao has been exercising. Although he is not very familiar with this kind of road, he can get used to it very quickly. Needless to say, day lilies can jump up and down as fast as Niu Dazhuang. Even Luo Laibao has been trained a lot by Li Xiao recently, and his physical strength has also improved.

The only Xiangniang who was more worried, such a girl who dealt with spices all day long, thought that her physical strength was weak, but she didn't expect her to walk lightly, her face was not red or out of breath after a long journey, and her speed was not slow , and even had time to pick all kinds of flowers and plants in the woods on both sides, pick them and put them in the basket. Obviously, his physical strength is also very good.

Niu Dazhuang was very happy. This guy kept talking non-stop along the way, talking about their specialties, their neighbors, his wife, and his son...

I don't know how he won't be thirsty after talking for so long.Li Xiao finally understands what it means to be gifted. People who talk about talent like this are really envious of ordinary people.

When everyone finally saw the village that Niu Dazhuang was talking about, the sun had already climbed into the sky, and the smell of food could be heard from many surrounding houses.

Li Xiao swallowed, and there was a rumbling sound in his stomach.

Luo Laibao's heart ached immediately, his family Xiaoxiao had great strength, but he was also very hungry, he must be starving after walking for so long.

So before the villagers warmly greeted Niu Dazhuang when he heard Niu Dazhuang's return, Luo Laibao couldn't wait to ask, "Is there any food?"

village head:"……"

Everyone: "..."

It was the village chief who came to his senses and said again and again, "Yes, yes, yes!"

They decided to come on a temporary basis, Niu Dazhuang just waited in the past just in case, not sure if they would come or not.

Farmers have always been economical, and it is basically impossible to waste food by doing too much.

Therefore, Li Xiao was not surprised at all when the village chief said to set up meals, and then saw every family serving dishes and meals here.

He silently covered his face, feeling ashamed that the few of them ate many families.But the village head warmly greeted, "Guest, come to eat! Do you want to drink? Do you want to try the homemade sorghum wine?" At the same time, he couldn't help but wink at his daughter-in-law, asking her to order another dish.

No wonder he was in a hurry. The dishes on this table looked a lot, but they were basically green vegetables. They were the kind that were not willing to add oil when frying, and some of them were made with poor craftsmanship. He didn't seem to have any appetite, let alone these rich and noble people.

Fortunately, the rich man was not picky, and the food started to be scooped into the bowl as soon as it was served, but he didn't eat it himself, but pushed it to the young man next to him.

In other words, that young man is so good-looking, all the girls and daughters-in-law in the village are looking at his face, even he can't help but look at it a few more times.

Li Xiao looked at the big bowl full of rice in front of him, then at Luo Laibao who was looking at him nervously, and then at the people all around them staring at them.

He felt very speechless, "Well, if you are hungry, you can eat together."

Luo Laibao turned to the crowd with a gloomy expression.Seen by his gaze, everyone shook their heads again and again, expressing that they were not hungry.

Luo Laibao then turned his head and said softly, "They are not hungry, you should eat quickly."

Li Xiao looked up, the village head was already dispersing the crowd, Xiaodouzi directly pulled the third son out, "The village head said to do it for us."

Village head: "???" He didn't say anything!Moreover, why are there only two people eating such a big table?

Although he was very unhappy, the village chief followed Xiaodouzi and the others out.Xiaodouzi took out a few taels of silver from his sleeve and stuffed it to the village chief, "Today's lunch expenses."

The village head suddenly smiled and narrowed his eyes, and pretended to refuse, "This, this is not good, you can't eat much..."

Xiaodouzi stopped him, "Take it, it's all collected by the villagers, share some with everyone...well, go get some better dishes, and make us a portion too."

When the village chief heard it, he answered again and again, this time he ran much faster than before.

In the room, Li Xiao looked at the suddenly quiet room and Luo Laibao who was still urging him to eat quickly.Finally, he no longer refused, picked up the bowl and began to eat with big mouthfuls, and at the same time greeted Luo Laibao, "Laibao, you eat too!"

Luo Laibao nodded. Although he was holding a bowl, he basically didn't move it. Instead, he kept picking up food for Li Xiao, even forgetting to eat it himself.

Li Xiao felt a little strange, Luo Laibao usually cared about feeding him, but he never acted like this time.

Li Xiao stretched out his chopsticks to pick up some food for Luo Laibao, "It's been a morning, you should be hungry, eat something."

Luo Laibao's bowl shrank back subconsciously, and then as if he had come to his senses, he shrank halfway and held back, then picked up the vegetables Li Xiao had picked for him and stuffed it into his mouth.

That expression didn't look like eating lunch, but like someone poisoned the food.

Li Xiao frowned, put down his chopsticks, "What's wrong with you?"

Luo Laibao finally came to his senses, raised his head and smiled at him, but the complexion was so bad that the smile seemed far-fetched.

Li Xiao recalled the situation along the way. Before arriving in the mountain village, Luo Laibao was in no mood. When he saw a beautiful scenery, he would drag him to watch it together. When no one was paying attention, he would secretly rub against him. The room is the sweetness of a little lover.

Until his stomach began to grunt, Luo Laibao's mood became a little bit wrong, and he seemed to suddenly become very nervous.

Li Xiao thought about it for a long time but couldn't think of a willingness, so the biggest problem may have appeared in his previous life. A ridiculous thought flashed through Li Xiao's mind, because it was too ridiculous, so he said it casually, "In our previous life, we would not Did he starve to death?"

"Kangdang..."

The rice bowl in Luo Laibao's hand fell to the ground.
