Chapter 138(1/2)
When Leng Yingchun came in just now, she saw the dining sign hanging in front of the shopkeeper, which stated the price. She slightly calculated that the table would cost thirty taels of silver.
She had a hundred taels of silver given by the government, and it was more than enough to deal with this time. So let everyone have a good time and snapped their fingers, "Come on all your signature dishes!"
"Wait!" Several women eagerly grabbed Leng Yingchun's arm.
They reminded Leng Yingchun that the price here is not low, and the signature dishes are even more expensive. Ordinary people can't afford it, so just make a few home-cooked dishes.
"Isn't our bumper rice harvest worth celebrating this time? The opportunity is rare, so don't worry about the price. Let's have a big meal. Next, we have to prepare for late rice. Thank you for your hard work again." Leng Yingchun aroused everyone's emotions and said good things.
The villagers felt it made sense, so they stopped persevering and walked into the kitchen happily.
After a while, all kinds of meat dishes appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone's eyes were wide open, with food as a catalyst, which immediately cleaned the fatigue on their bodies.
"Don't stand there, give me food, if there is no enough, order it!" Leng Yingchun stood up and waved generously when she saw everyone's cramped look.
Everyone then picked up their chopsticks and started eating, and they praised them after a few bites.
Everyone had eaten half of it, and the master told Leng Yingchun that he always felt that something was missing.
"Waiter, give you some more drinks!" Leng Yingchun suddenly realized what the master meant.
"Customer, wait and have a drink!" The waiter went to work harder.
The people who were eating next to him talked a lot when they saw the group of people making a big deal.
"You see, these people are from Lishuping, and the masters and yamen are here. It is said that the harvest is great. We ordinary people are blessed and will be able to buy food soon."
"You said it so well. I never want to eat kudzu root or those hard roots."
"I just don't know if the government controls it, will the food price be too expensive? Over the past year, the people have complained and there is not much money."
"What do you do if you care about so much? It's rare to raise money to have a good meal, and let it go. Anyway, I can't starve to death."
"That's right, worry about it, take one step at a time!"
The waiter brought in wine, and the diners stopped to eat with peace of mind.@*~~
Instead, the villagers became restrained. They worked hard and rarely drank, not knowing what the wine tasted.
The master poured a cup and wanted to clink with them before they dared to try it.
An hour later, watching everyone eating happily, Leng Yingchun knew that it would be much easier to ask them for help in the future.
The thing that Duan Ye said about going to see Su Jingxian flashed in her mind, so she found a reason to settle the account and went out.
Leng Yinghuan knew where Leng Yingchun was going, so he didn't want to disturb her meeting with Su Jingxian, so he didn't go with him.
Qin Xiaoxiao dozed off with her eyes closed halfway and didn't notice that Leng Yingchun went out.
But Wan Jiaxing was very worried and told Liuyun not to follow him and went out too.
Leng Yingchun didn't want to be discovered, so she went around the alley and ran forward.
When he arrived at the door where Su Jingxian lived, Su Jingxian was already waiting there.
He wanted to see Leng Yingchun many times, but was stopped by Tiedun. It was so conspicuous. It happened that he was injured and his combat effectiveness was weaker than before. If he was discovered by the Prime Minister and assassinated again, it would be very troublesome.
He rushed up when he saw Leng Yingchun, held her shoulder and asked anxiously, "Why did you return the cloak to me?"
Leng Yingchun was shocked by Su Jingxian's sudden reproach and tried to calm himself down. "I considered that you were sleeping in the open air, and then it was winter. You can use your cloak to keep the cold."
The misunderstanding is solved!
Su Jingxian's originally nervous mood suddenly calmed down. Seeing her innocent curly eyes open, she couldn't help but hold her in her arms.
"I am a man, not afraid of the cold winter. On the contrary, you are just when you grow up. If you are frozen, you may not grow up. So you still have to hold the cloak."
Leng Yingchun really wanted to say that in winter, Qin Xiaoxiao hugged her and rice stalks, she was very hot, and it wouldn't be tight if she didn't wear a cloak.
Watch secretly at the gate.
The two of them immediately ran back, grabbed the cloak, rushed out and covered them.
The two of them suddenly felt stuffy and separated from each other. Su Jingxian took the cloak and folded it, put it in Leng Yingchun's hand, "I promised to give it to you, and I won't return it again in the future."
"If you come back, the little marquis will probably mistakenly think that you are boring to him. How sad he is, maybe he will cry." Tiedun explained.
"Tiedun, don't always appear suddenly, okay?" Su Jingxian got angry.
"Okay, okay, you guys continue talking, I'll go out for a walk!" Tiedun curled his lips and jumped forward with his hands behind his back.
Without anyone else disturbing her, Su Jingxian took Leng Yingchun to the yard and closed the door.
Wan Jiaxing touched this place and didn't see Leng Yingchun searching for it.
He was still wondering why Leng Yingchun's escape ability was so strong, and he disappeared after following him.
Su Jingxian looked at Leng Yingchun gently, and his eyes were no longer as cold as before.
Leng Yingchun welcomed Su Jingxian's soft light, looked at his handsome face and simple temperament, and thought that it would seem good if he could be with him in the future.
Su Jingxian's face turned red through Leng Yingchun's gaze, and felt his hands trembling inappropriately. He quickly put it on his knee and held it down, then lowered his head.
"Duanye said that your rice has been harvested and most of the grain will be transported to the county yard. The government will send someone to dry the rice. Then half of it will be distributed to you. He estimates that this harvest will greatly solve the famine problem. Thank you for your hard work!"
He finally plucked up the courage to speak, but he hadn't heard Leng Yingchun's response for a long time. He was wondering what was wrong with her, but when he looked up, he saw her standing with her back to him, thinking about something.
He felt the sadness conveyed from her and walked carefully to her, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing!" Leng Yingchun came back to her senses from the sorrow.
The reason why she was sad was that she saw the peaches left on the treetops, and she remembered that her brother Leng Yingsong would always pick some of them when the peaches were ripe and brought them back for her to eat.
"Have you encountered any difficult things? Tell me, I can help you." Su Jingxian lowered his head slightly, not letting the slightest looseness in her eyes.
"No, the little marquis and Uncle Qin have helped me a lot, and I am extremely grateful." Leng Yingchun bit her lip gently and calmed down. "This time the grain harvest should be able to solve the little marquis' worries. Are you going back to the capital?"
After he went back, his marriage would probably be on the agenda. All she could think of was a political marriage with the daughter of the minister, the princess, and the like.
What hope does she have when facing a strong opponent?
She smiled bitterly and sighed inwardly that she could not escape the shackles. After taking a deep breath, she felt a little better.
"It's not that fast!" Su Jingxian did not hide it.
When he was walking on the street, he saw the magnificent people and suddenly understood the obscure meaning of the letter sent by the Marquis, that is, he would help the prince collect civil power so that he could compete with the people who were hiding among the prime minister in the future.
"Then, if the little marquis thinks there is something fun, can you write a letter to tell me and let me smile too?" Leng Yingchun said half-jokingly. Seeing him frowning, he quickly explained, "I'm young for ten years, haha."
"If you lose ten years, we will be one senior, and it's just right now!"
Su Jingxian pulled the corners of his mouth, dimples and dimples appeared at the same time, with long eyelashes fluttering with big eyes. He was a handsome man in ancient costume and would probably look better in the future. Who can not sink into trouble?
Leng Yingchun was a little embarrassed, so he passed him back to his seat.
She accidentally collided with the stone that Wan Jiaxing gave her. Su Jingxian could tell at a glance that the thing belonged to Wan Jiaxing.
Isn’t it related to Jiaxing and Leng Yingchun?
"This jade pendant..." Su Jingxian touched the jade pendant with trembling hands. Even though he endured it, he could hear a trembling voice, "Whose is it?"
"My senior brother!" Leng Yingchun was very calm.
"Your senior brother?" Su Jingxian knew that Wan Jiaxing had been given the responsibility of being an official by his family, and should review his homework at home at this moment, intending to get the first place in the autumn trial.
"Yes, we are all Feng Beier's apprentices!" Leng Yingchun expected Su.
Jingxian has something to do with Wan Jiaxing, and he talked about the jade pendant, "The eldest brother treats me as his own sister and will give me good things."
Su Jingxian was relieved. He felt that Wan Jiaxing liked girls with wildness and would not like girls like Leng Yingchun who were pertinent.
He wanted to meet Wan Jiaxing and have a good chat, but he didn't know if he would be discovered by someone who was interested in meeting, which would affect his itinerary, so he gave up this idea.
The night was hazy, and the two of them didn't know what to do.
Su Jingxian took the initiative to play the piano for her. She was very moved and asked to leave when Tiedun came back.
Su Jingxian didn't think of any reason to keep her, so he asked Tiedun to send her to the entrance of Yuelai Building. @·Wuwuzhuo first release~~
She walked a few steps to the restaurant and found that the villagers had not left yet.
She greeted Leng Yinghuan. After the villagers finished their meal, they could stay at Yuelai Building for one night. Last time, they told He Yang to clean up.
She walked in and saw the drunken person, and was a little surprised.
Liuyun and Leng Yinghuan are not here, probably because they are going out to find Wan Jiaxing and her.
She didn't know where they went, and the night was too complicated, so she didn't go out.
"Yingchun, you are back. These men are so annoying. After drinking a jar of wine, they opened it and felt that they were not satisfied. They ordered several more jars and all of them were high."
Aunt Su walked over to Old Man Su in annoyed mood. Old Man Su wouldn't be so drunk, she was really worried that he would die of drinking.
"That's right, Xiao Bai is also drinking desperately!" Aunt Li was also worried, and Niu Chunyao next to her was also drinking in a hurry.
"It's okay, I only drink it once a long time!" Leng Yingchun smiled, "You are waiting for me here, I'll ask if I can help carry them to Yuelai Building."
"Then go and ask quickly!" Aunt Su went back to take care of the three children sleeping next to Old Man Su.
Her hand touched Haozi's face. When she saw Xiangmin sleeping on the side, she thought of Xiangmin's accusation on the road. She suddenly felt that she was cruel enough. She cared about her son and forgot her daughter. Then she gently touched Xiangmin's face.
"Mom!" Xiangmin murmured, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised, and he must have had a beautiful dream.
