Qinghe Pastoral

After ten days of effort, all the shelves of Ji Ruixiu's orchard have been erected, just waiting to be planted.

On this day, a luxurious carriage entered the courtyard of Ji's house, and a group of five people came, two well-dressed sons, one foreigner and two followers.

"This Qinghe village has beautiful mountains and rivers, and look at this courtyard is really magnificent. It seems that I will stay for a few more days."

The slender young man in yellow clothes walked back and forth in the yard while waving his fan, and still sighed.

"It's up to you, let's go into the house."

A group of people followed Ji Ruixiu into the house, and the cook of Ji's family brought the cakes and tea that had been prepared a long time ago. The group of them came from Huazhou, and they had been exhausted for seven or eight days. Hungry, so I used the snacks on the table casually.

"Eat some snacks first, and the meal will be ready soon."

"This snack tastes good, your cook is good at it."

Ji Ruixiu knew that the person in front of him had a mouthy mouth, and getting his appreciation meant that the taste was really good.He is not a person with a heavy appetite, but Lin Mu likes food, and the corners of his mouth can't help but rise when he thinks of Lin Mu's satisfaction every time he eats pastries on the recliner in the backyard and reads the scriptures.

May [-] was the death day of Xu Xiuqin's mother, so two days ago, Lin Mu followed Xu Xiuqin back to her mother's house.I miss seeing you for two days, and I think I should come back today.

"By the way, why did you specifically ask me to bring my cousin with you in your letter?"

Speaking of this, another young master who had been silent all this time also cast a questioning look.

It turned out that this group of people came this time precisely for Ji Ruixiu's orchard.Ji Ruixiu is just a grassroots person now, and this kind of rare thing cannot be kept by his current status. This orchard was built with the young man in yellow.

This group of people came from the Huazhou Quanfu Xiao's family. This Xiao's family has a very strong background. The eldest is a high-ranking official in Kyoto, and the second is a well-known wealthy businessman in Dayu Country.

He was able to get acquainted with the Xiao family when he went to sea three years ago. He happened to rescue the youngest son of the Xiao family's second house, Xiao Jue, who had encountered pirates.Xiao Jue has a flamboyant personality and is completely different from Ji Ruixiu. I don't know if it's because of the grace of saving his life, but he fell in love with Ji Ruixiu at first sight, and the two gradually became confidants.

After Ji Ruixiu accidentally discovered that the planting environment of this rare and precious fruit in the neighboring country is very similar to that in the Tubanpo area, he went to Xiao Jue after he had the idea of ​​planting it. The two discussed it and went to the neighboring country again. Make sure of this.

This time Xiao Jue came here, besides the planting masters from neighboring countries and the servants of Xiao’s family, another person was Xiao Jue’s cousin—Yu Ziyi. Yu’s family is a medical family. The son was also because of Xu Xiuqin's pregnancy.

Xu Xiuqin's family is very happy to be pregnant again, but Xu Xiuqin is getting older after all, Liu Tang is afraid of mistakes, and Lin Mu is always worried, so Ji Ruixiu specially asked Xiao Jue to bring Ziyi along.Ji Ruixiu and Yu Zi have only met each other twice, but they are about the same age and personality, so they hit it off.

"I got engaged not long ago. My mother-in-law had a slippery pregnancy before and has been unable to conceive, but she didn't want to be pregnant now. She is already in her thirties, so I specially asked my son to see how he can maintain the baby."

Ji Ruixiu's tone has always been calm, Xiao Jue has long been used to it, but what he said at this moment seemed to throw a heavy stone on the calm lake, disturbing the calm of the lake.The two had known each other for three years, and he knew how cold Ji Ruixiu was, but now he said that he was engaged.The two have only been separated for two months, so how can such sudden news not be shocking?

"Engagement? I never heard that you have someone you like before. Why did you get engaged after two months after you came back?"

"Probably because my mother said before she died that she was destined to meet and love someone."

Ji Ruixiu ignored Xiao Jue's surprise and said, that tone seemed to be a little different, Xiao Jue was surprised, what kind of person can make Ji Rui change?

Xiao Jue is a person who breaks the casserole and asks the bottom line, but Ji Ruixiu didn't explain too much, he just said that he knew it naturally when he saw it.Xiao Jue felt as if there were hundreds of ants scratching in his heart, and it was so itchy that even Yu Zi, who had always been silent, was a little curious.

After lunch, the group went to Libanpo. Libanpo is a large sloping barren slope, and the soil is also black sand, which is rare in the Dayu Dynasty. This unpleasant environment has cultivated a kind of Precious fruit.

Qiyan fruit likes the sun and water, and can't stand drought or waterlogging. It tastes sweet, full of water, crisp in the mouth, bright red and smooth in appearance. The grown Qiyan fruit is only the size of an adult's fist. It is a beauty product, because The output is low, so it is only used by rich and noble people in neighboring countries, and ordinary people may not be able to taste it in their lifetime.

This time, Meng, who came from Ulan Kingdom, is an expert in planting exotic fruits. His family has a large orchard. Ulan is a brave and warlike nation. Jue hit it off very well, he had longed for the affluent Dayu Dynasty for a long time, and this time he happened to get to know them by guiding them.

Several people studied for a long time, and Meng also felt that this place is very suitable for growing Qiyan fruit. With him, it can be regarded as giving them more confidence.Because Xiao Jue found out about Ji Ruixiu's engagement at noon, he couldn't concentrate his thoughts all afternoon. He complained about Ji Ruixiu's silence countless times in his heart, and just waited to meet Ji Ruixiu's sweetheart soon.

Finally at dusk, when they came back from Cutbanpo, he saw a slender boy in the yard who was seriously peeling walnuts with his head down.After Ji Ruixiu called out, the young man raised his face, and then showed a brilliant smile, his clean eyes seemed to be flashed by the sun, he narrowed his eyes slightly, then he stood up and hurried towards them.

Lin Mu had just returned home half an hour ago, and the first taste of love was at the height of love, and the two wished to stick together anytime, why would they want to separate?When he got home, he hurried to Ji's house with fresh walnuts picked from Xu Qin's house. Seeing that Ji Ruixiu was not there, he peeled walnuts in the yard, waiting for him to come back.

Hearing Ji Ruixiu call him, he raised his head, his eyes were dazzled by the sunlight, but he saw two richly dressed men and a man who looked different from Dayu Chao from the corner of his eye, he calmed down before standing up and walking towards Ji Ruixiu go.

Several people had different reactions to Lin Mu. Xiao Jue traveled to many places and met countless people. Lin Mu was like a piece of pure white jade in the rough, clean and beautiful, the kind that easily arouses the favor of others. people.He was amazed in his heart, feeling that the young man in front of him was a good match for his best friend.And Yu Ziyi has been staring straight at Lin Mu ever since he saw him, Lin Mu was even a little embarrassed, Ji Ruixiu didn't know the reason, but his face was already ugly.

Xiao Jue on the side was also a little embarrassed by his cousin's reaction. He smiled at Lin Mu and touched the people around him. He didn't know what his cousin was thinking for a while.

Yu Zi also came back to his senses because of Xiao Jue's touch. He looked at the ugly Ji Ruixiu, thinking that he must have misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "Brother Ji, don't get me wrong, I have no other intentions." , you also know that I joined the army as a military doctor in my early years, so I met a close friend, Brother Lin is very similar to my friend, so I couldn't help but stare dumbfounded."

After hearing Yu Ziyi's explanation, Ji Ruixiu's expression eased. Yu Ziyi was already married, and the husband and wife were loving. He had just had a daughter two years ago, so Ji Ruixiu believed the words.After listening to Yu Ziyi's words, Xiao Jue seemed to have a face flashed in his mind. The face he had seen at his cousin's wedding and child's full moon banquet, and the youthful brows in front of him were indeed similar to each other. No wonder his cousin lost his sense of proportion.

"Unfortunately, my friend is already alone. He has been wandering around for the past few years, and we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Thinking of his friends, Yu Zi couldn't help sighing, and marveled that there are such similar people in the world.If he didn't know that his friend was still alone, he doubted whether the two would have any relationship.

"The world is so big, it's not surprising that there are people like me."

Seeing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Xiao Jue hurriedly said.

Hearing Yu Ziyi's words, Lin Mu was a little excited at first. His memory was nothing but fire. Could it be related that he is so similar to that person?But thinking about it again, Lin Sheng said that he found himself among the refugees, and his family should have fled from the famine to the south, so how could he have anything to do with the people in the military camp.Xiao Jue is right, the world is so big, it is not surprising that there are a few people who resemble him, he thinks so.

Because of Xiao Jue and his party, Ji Ruixiu specially asked the kitchen to prepare some good meals, and Lin Mu was naturally kept by him. Huazhou is close to the sea, and there are abundant seafood. Xiao Jue brought some seafood this time, most of which are dry and easy to store. All fresh on the table tonight.Ji Ruixiu also specially invited his cousin's family and Lin Sheng's couple here, and it was very lively.

Lin Sheng and his wife are serious country people. They were unavoidably cautious when they saw Xiao Jue, and they were even more surprised when they saw Meng.On the other hand, Ji Ruixiu's cousin, because of the help of Ji Ruixiu's family back then, was regarded as the landlord of the village, and also had two shops in the county, so he had seen some of the world, so he could talk a few words.

Although Yong'an Island is inland, due to its special location and developed trade, seafood can also be seen, but firstly, the price is expensive, and secondly, most of them are dry goods, so this is Lin Mu's first time eating seafood.

Lin Mu fell in love with the taste of seafood as soon as he came. Ji Ruixiu saw that Lin Mu was eating happily, and peeled the shrimp a little faster. The intimate behavior of the two was only sighed in the eyes of others.I don't know if it's because of her pregnancy. Xu Xiuqin has been prone to mood swings recently. Seeing Ji Ruixiu taking care of Lin Mu like this, he was very moved.

After the meal, the guests and the host had a great time. After the meal, Yu Ziyi personally checked Xu Xiuqin's pulse. Xu Xiuqin was in good health and the baby's fetal appearance was stable. Although he was a bit old, there was no need to worry too much. In other words, Lin Mu's family can finally feel at ease.
