Chapter 40 First Meeting
Yu Zixi raised his head and gave him a hard look, which made Qi Xing swallow his saliva in fright, not daring to speak any more.

Yu Zixi let out a heavy breath, and looked up at the moon in the sky.

A floating cloud floated away from under the moon, the moonlight was as clear as a jewel.

Yu Zixi squeezed the toothpick in his hand hard, made up his mind, and said: "Go ahead, tell them to do it, just take care of Chen Xianglai, and let her family live well!"

Qi Xing didn't immediately agree, he looked up to the sky, and said: "Second Master, you made your decision a bit late, it's already now, and it's dawn when our people arrive, how can you do it in broad daylight? ?”

Yu Zixi said: "Then tomorrow."

Qi Xing said: "But who knows if you will change your mind tomorrow?"

Yu Zixi said: "I leave this matter to you, don't ask me again tomorrow, just take someone there."

Then he turned and went down the window sill, went into the room, took out something and put it in his pocket, then pushed the door and came out, saying: "Lead me a horse, I'm going to Huikang Mansion, I won't come back later, I will leave it to you here." Shopkeeper Chen will take care of it."

Qi Xing was not surprised that Yu Zixi wanted to leave here, but he didn't expect him to leave at this time, he stood there stunned and said: "Second Lord, it's already this time, the city gate has been closed long ago!"

Seeing him standing still, Yu Zixi walked towards the stables by herself, and said, "Just close it, the broken city wall in Songning County is still called a city wall, just find a hole and go out!"

Qi Xing had no choice but to run quickly to untie the horse for him, and then went to open the gate, watching Yu Zixi ride towards the south of the city.

On the morning of July [-], the weather was still fine.

Xianglai got up early in the morning and went to the rice fields to guard.When the rice was fringed, every grain of rice looked like a small silver lump in her eyes, and she would feel distressed if one fell, let alone being harmed by chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs.

Tianlai got up late in the morning, missed the breakfast time, and didn't feel comfortable eating alone in the kitchen. He grabbed a vegetable dumpling steamed by Xianglai Niang with wild vegetables and millet noodles, and ate it while playing on the field stalks.

Xianglai saw that the soil in the field seemed to be dry, so she went to the other side of the rice field and opened the water outlet to pour water into the field.When she was digging the water hole, she accidentally raised her head, only to see three people walking from the west of the village.

The clothes and attire of these three people were obviously not farming, but their leisurely appearance did not look like they were visiting relatives.

Xiang Lai slowed down the movement of his subordinates and looked at them, only to see the three of them pointing while walking, and saw that the direction pointed to their own rice field.

Sure enough, the three of them got closer and closer, and they actually came straight to the rice fields.

Xiang Lai patted the mud on the spout with a shovel, thinking: People in this era must be so ignorant that they can't stop planting some rice, and people come to see it every now and then.

When she was thinking, those three people had already come to the edge of the field, and the one in the lead bent down to watch the rice carefully.

The three people who came were Luo Jinxing, Xu Lin, and An Guang.

In order to avoid being guessed about Luo Jinxing's identity, they went to a place downstream where there was no one to cross the river by boat, and then walked to Xitun along the river.

Xiang Lai complained that Luo Jinxing didn’t know much. It’s true that Luo Jinxing was weak and sick since he was a child, and he had never been to southern countries. Not to mention rice, even the common crops such as bean and wheat in the Northern Liao Dynasty could not be fully identified. Regardless.

Even so, he is well aware of the importance of farming to a country, and even more aware of the value of rice in the current Beiliao. He heard that there are people growing rice here, so he wants to take a look anyway.

Seeing them coming, Chen Xianglai opened the spout, walked over with a shovel in hand, looked at Luo Jinxing who was squatting on the ground and picked up a grain of rice and peeled it off, and shouted, "Hey, hey, don't pick it, rice is expensive. Every grain of rice you pull is like throwing me a coin!"

Luo Jinxing raised his head in surprise. No one had ever spoken to him in such a tone since he was a child.

But when he raised his head, he saw that standing in front of him was a pretty and charming little girl.

This little girl is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and it is just at the beginning of her youth. Although her handsome face is slightly tanned, her eyes are piercing, her figure is slim and not weak, even though the old clothes on her body are faded. Can't see the color, but it's hard to hide her refreshing beauty.

Luo Jinxing, who was used to seeing women wrapped in palace dress brocade belts, felt a strong sense of amazement when he saw Chen Xianglai.

Xianglai was also slightly taken aback, not only because Luo Jinxing was very handsome, but also because of his pale complexion, one could tell at a glance that he was in poor health.

Xianglai thought to himself: It turns out that he is a sick child, what a pity!The small appearance is strange and good-looking. It is definitely not comparable to the stars who were sought after by various make-ups in the previous life. From the inside out, he is generous and calm. One can tell that he is a caring and warm man. If such a person has a good body Well, it's not bad to take home and be your husband...

Uh, no, what are you thinking about? It's not my style to be crazy when I see a pretty boy. When I have money, what do I want to look for? Why do I remember the sick person in front of me? It's probably the old agarwood Lai Gene is not good, and he has made himself implicated!Yes, it must be so!

She Zai'er and Luo Jin stared at each other in a daze, An Guang, who was standing behind Luo Jinxing, was furious, and shouted at her with wide eyes: "You wild girl, why are you talking to the world... Hiss... Young Master, what are you talking about? Why don't I just grab you a grain of rice, even if I burn your entire rice field, there is no reason for you to say anything!"

He was used to calling him "Senior Son" on weekdays, and he almost blurted out so suddenly, but at a critical moment, he forcibly stayed away.

Chen Xianglai didn't know what kind of nobles these were. He only thought that Luo Jinxing was the young master of a wealthy family like Li Yongfa. He didn't have the slightest fear. After dispelling the thoughts in his heart, he looked at An Guang without showing weakness: "What do you mean by that? Are you sincerely coming to me to find fault? It's reasonable to pull my rice, and I want to burn my rice field! I want to ask, is it me or my rice field? Is it? Arson and burning food are both serious crimes, let me see if you burn one!"

An Guang didn't expect that a little girl from Xianglai was so bold that she dared to confront him tit for tat. He was about to continue to reprimand him, but when he saw Luo Jinxing turn around and stare at him heavily, he quickly swallowed the words that came to his lips. I stood there honestly and didn't dare to call anymore.

After stopping An Guang, Luo Jinxing turned around and stood up, looking at Xianglai, his face turned red a little, and he said awkwardly: "This...girl, I'm really sorry, I have no way to control you, the old servant is not rude, I hope you don't want it It’s strange, as for the damage I have done to the girl’s crops, it’s just compensation.”

Chen Xianglai already had a good impression of him, what he said before was purely a joke, and the reason why he got angry was because of An Guang's words, now seeing Luo Jinxing's sincere apology, he no longer cares about it, saying: "It's okay, I just said Just kidding, I don't really mean to ask you to pay, but you, an old servant, really want to take care of it, much more domineering than your master!"
