Chapter 231 Let It Be a Dowry Gift

After Madam Zhao finished speaking, she lowered the curtain.

"Yes!" He Lianshu replied, and quietly let out a big sigh of relief.

The carriage walked along the official road for a while before turning to the narrower road in the countryside. When it stopped again, it had already reached the gate of Zhuangzi.

This Zhuangzi is backed by a low mountain, and below the mountain is endless fertile fields.

The three courtyards in Zhuangzili are all made of big green bricks, and the houses look like houses.When they arrived, the head of the village was already waiting at the gate with several people.Xu Shi had known for a long time that there were female relatives, and that Zhuangtou's wife also led two tidy mothers-in-law and aunts.

Walking into the gate of the villa, Mrs. Zhao took advantage of the situation and asked, "How big is this village, what do you plant, and how much is the yield per mu?"

Mrs. Zhao herself is not short of money, and has so much property that she doesn't usually care about it, but when she investigates the family background of her future son-in-law, she asks carefully.

"I only know that this village has about [-] mu of land, [-] mu of upper field, [-] mu of middle field, and a piece of mountain land, all planted with fruit trees. There is also a pond and some pens on the Zhuangzi. Animals." He Lianshu responded lightly, with a faint look of confusion on his face, "Specifically...Wang Zhuangtou, come and talk to Madam in detail."

As he said that, He Lianshu looked towards the village head.

Wang Zhuangtou immediately understood, and hurried forward to Mrs. Zhao, "Ma'am, this Zhuangzi is the most clear about big and small matters. Whatever you want to ask, the small ones can answer everything."

Mrs. Zhao glanced at He Lianshu, retracted her eyes, and said with a smile, "That's good, then tell me..."

The two of them took a step while talking.

Being left behind, He Lianshu let out a long sigh of relief, and almost didn't raise his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"So nervous? It's not like you, Governor Helian!" A soft laughing voice rang in his ears, and Xu Jiao was also behind him, tilting his head, smiling mockingly at Helianshu.

"I'm nervous, it's worse than facing thousands of troops, so don't make fun of me!" He Lianshu looked at the back of Mrs. Zhao in front, and walked to keep up, whispering.

Xu Jiao said "Oh" in a long voice, "I will remember to tell my mother, in your eyes, she is scarier than thousands of troops!"

He Lianshu frowned, looked at her, and saw her bright eyes full of smiles, and he knew that he was being teased by her.

Xu Jiao's heart is full of joy at this moment, he is so nervous, isn't it because he cares about himself and wants to gain her mother's approval?
The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked silently, following in the footsteps of the two in front.

After such an interruption from Xu Jiao, He Lianshu's nervous mood finally eased by two points.

"When did you buy this Zhuangzi?" Xu Jiao asked casually.

"What happened not long ago." Thinking of something, He Lianshu glanced at her and said, "Your name was written on the deed when the property was transferred."

"My name?" Xu Jiao was surprised, "Why?"

"No reason, just treat it... as a betrothal gift!" After He Lianshu finished speaking, he strode after Mrs. Zhao.

Xu Jiao looked at his back, but his brows were tightly furrowed.

After walking for a while, Xu Jiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he walked forward quickly.There are several persimmon trees in the front, forming a small forest. The persimmons are red after the snow, and the snow-covered mountain forest is behind them. The persimmons are pressed under the snow, like red lanterns, and it is gratifying to look at.

"Do you want to paint, or do you want to eat?" He Lianshu walked to her side, and looked up at the red persimmon above her head with her.

Xu Jiao turned to stare at him, what do you want to eat?It's like she's a foodie.All right!She is a foodie... This is also considered to know her!She really can only think of drawing and eating.

Xu Jiao rolled his eyes and said to him, "I want to eat! How many can you pick for me?"

"Okay!" He Lianshu responded simply, and in the next moment, with a single step, the person was already flying into the air, and rushed up the tree in two or three strokes.

"Hey, wait..." I'm still under the tree!Before Xu Jiao finished speaking, she saw the persimmon trees shaking under his movements, and the snow on them fell rustlingly, and it fell all over her pocket.

She let out a soft cry and subconsciously hugged her head.But a black cloud flew over her head, covering her completely, and the familiar cold breath invaded her nose. The snow was completely covered by the man's cloak thrown over at the right time, and none of it fell on top of her head.

Xu Jiao was stunned for a while, and when he raised his eyes, the snow and rain had passed, and there was a pair of soap boots in front of him, and his eyes went up, and someone was holding several persimmons in the hem of his coat, looking at her expressionlessly, with only eyes But some flicker.

Xu Jiao snorted, "Captain Helian, have you forgotten that you are not walking the path of spring wind and rain?" His kung fu was really practiced, his strength was fierce, and although his movements were fast, they were definitely not light.

He Lianshu coughed twice, "I forgot it for a while!" The cloak was originally used to carry persimmons, but unexpectedly it became a bag to carry her... He Lianshu looked at the pair of eyes under his black cloak. With rosy cheeks, snow-skinned red lips and a shiny face, her eyes are slightly squinted, and there is a smile in her eyes-what a big persimmon!
Xu Jiao didn't see the smile in his eyes, walked over, picked a big and red persimmon from the bag he was carrying, peeled it off, and bit it down. When the stars came out, he took a look at him and said, "Looking at such delicious persimmons, I forgive you."

Xu Jiao took another bite, it was so sweet, it was really delicious!Standing on tiptoe, she raised the half-eaten persimmon to Helian Shu's lips, "You have a bite too!"

He Lianshu didn't like sweets, but he looked down at her pair of clear and bright eyes, pondered for a while, and finally opened his mouth to take a bite of the persimmon meat.

"How is it? Is it sweet?" Xu Jiao asked bluntly.

"Sweet!" He Lianshu said firmly.

Xu Jiao looked at him, squinted his eyes and smiled, it was sweet, and because of someone's beauty, it was even more delicious.

"Cough cough" suddenly came two coughs from behind, Xu Jiao woke up suddenly, turned his head and looked back, and saw Mrs. Zhao was looking at them, she couldn't see anything on her face, she just looked at Xu Jiao's eyes There are two points that hate iron but not steel.

Qinniang, Wang Zhuangtou and the others looked at them, with expressions of wanting to laugh but not funny, which is very intriguing.

He Lianshu's face was still expressionless, but the roots of his ears turned red quietly.

Xu Jiao was embarrassed, lowered his head, and silently ate up the remaining persimmon meat in his hand.

When it comes time to eat, all the food is produced in this village, the raw materials are fresh, and the taste is also good.

Xu Jiao, a foodie, ate to his heart's content.

After eating, Xu Jiao just took a sip of the tea for digestion, when Mrs. Zhao said, "Ah Jiao, let's go out first! I have a few words to say to Governor Helian."

"Ah?" Xu Jiao was stunned. He looked at Mrs. Zhao, and then at Helian Shu who was looking serious. Is there anything that cannot be said in front of her?

Mrs. Zhao didn't speak, but glared at her.

"Get out!" He Lianshu glanced at her and gave her a little wink.
