Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 51

The family moved a lot of things that Xianglai bought into the house, and then asked the husband to see Xianglai's mother.

Before, Xiang Lai Niang never went to the city, but now that the girl has invited the doctors to her home, she can't help but watch, so she let the husband see and ask.

I don't know if it's because Xianglai's mother is really fine, or if the gentleman invited by Xianglai is average in medicine. After watching it for a long time, the gentleman said: "Well, Qi deficiency and blood deficiency, liver and spleen disorders, prescribe a few doses of medicine to treat it." Then, no matter how good you are, you will be fine."

Xianglai said: "Sir, is my mother really okay?"

The gentleman said: "Of course it's nothing serious, what's the matter with you girl, is it possible that your mother is seriously ill?"

Xianglai was so angry that he stared straight at her. When Xianglai's mother saw that her daughter was angry, she said: "It's okay, Xiang'er, mother said that she was not sick, but you didn't believe me, so you insisted on bringing the husband home. Now that the husband has said, you There is nothing more to believe."

Xianglai didn't know anything about medicine, so he had no choice but to accept it, and said to the gentleman, "Oh, then you can write a prescription, and I'll go back to the city with you to get the medicine tomorrow."

In this way, the gentleman wrote Zhang Fangzi to Xianglai, and then stayed at Shen's house for another night. On the third day, Xianglai borrowed Shunzi's car, harnessed the two newly bought horses, and tried to drive alone to the Song Dynasty for the first time. rather.

Fortunately, these two horses were indeed well-trained horses, and with her half-baked driving skills, they even arrived at Songning smoothly.

After entering the city, she went directly to the doctor's clinic to get the medicine, then went to the jewelry store to take away the things she had ordered yesterday, and bought two pairs of saddles by the way, thinking that she would learn to ride a horse in the future, so that it would be convenient to travel back and forth .

Chen Xianglai stayed in Songning for one night, and then drove back to Yanjiang Village alone.

After returning home, while monitoring her mother to take medicine on time, she started her land expansion plan again.

There are plenty of depressions around Yanjiang Village, and more importantly, there are sufficient water sources. The nearby places can be directly injected with water from the river, and the far away places need to dig canals to divert water.

But this time, she and her mother and second aunt were no longer used to contribute, because they had money in their hands.

After the autumn harvest along the river, there are plenty of people. I heard that there is money to earn, and any family can send one or two people.

In this way, almost the entire Xitun along the Yangtze River was mobilized by her, and according to Xianglai's assignment, they worked on the uncultivated depressions and wastelands.

Xianglai plans to plant [-] mu of rice next year. It is a big project to reclaim all [-] mu of rice fields by hand. It is estimated that it will not be possible to complete all of them this autumn, and the remaining part can only be cultivated after the thaw next spring.Fortunately, the people in Yanjiang West Village are very hardworking, as long as they have money to earn, some people are willing to come. I believe it will not be difficult to hire people by then.

When she led the people in Xitun along the river to work in full swing, the shopkeeper of Longsheng Bank had already sent her rice to the capital, and there were several unidentified people who accompanied the rice back.

Ten days later, they arrived at Zhaoyang City, the capital of the kingdom.

Luo Jinxing personally received the rice in his own house.

While pinching the full grain of rice, he listened to the detailed situation of Chen Xianglai from the person who accompanied him back.

I just heard the spy leader say: "Chen Xianglai's father, Shen Wanlu, was sold as a slave when he was young. The owner's family is unknown, and Chen Xianglai's mother's surname is unknown. When she returned to her hometown with Shen Wanlu, she was already pregnant with Chen Xianglai. This woman is proficient in piano, chess and poetry. The origin of the book is quite suspicious. Chen Xianglai was taught by his mother since he was a child. Before his father died, his character was cowardly and not good at farming. A few months after Shen Wanlu passed away, his temperament suddenly changed. occurring……"

When the spy talked about a stick of incense, he reported everything he had heard about Chen Xianglai. He even inquired about the change of Xianglai's eating posture after his personality changed.

If Chen Xianglai heard about it, she would definitely be surprised, because there are many things about her that she didn't realize.

Luo Jinxing listened patiently, frowned thoughtfully, and murmured to himself in a low voice: "After a fall, I will be able to work in farming and my temperament will change. This is really strange..."

Then he looked at the rice in his hand and said, "It's just getting better. If it doesn't change, can I grow rice in Beiliao..."

Then he asked, "Is there anything else?"

The spy thought for a while and hesitated: "Uh... When we were monitoring Chen Xianglai, we heard that strangers often appeared in Jiangxi Village a while ago, and we also asked about her. I don't know if this counts?"

Luo Jinxing smiled, and said: "It seems that not only me, but also other people are interested in her! Hmm... you can go and check again to see if you can find out who is planning her. So What a girl, she must not fall into the hands of others!"

The spies were ordered to retreat.

Xu Lin, who was inseparable from Luo Jinxing, said: "Your Majesty, you must have paid attention to this Chen Xianglai."

Luo Jinxing twisted the rice grains in his hands, and said: "I am concerned about the food in my Northern Liao. The weather in the Northern Liao is cold and the crops can only grow for one season. In the past, I could ask for food from the Southern Liao openly, but the situation will be different in the future. If If you want to have enough ability to compete with Nanliao, how can you do without food."

Xu Lin said: "That's true. The rice side alone has been stuck in the South Liao. I think there are several ordinary people in the Beiliao who have eaten rice. This thing is as rare as pearls in the Beiliao!"

Luo Jinxing stretched out his hand lightly, squeezed it into a funnel shape, and drained the rice grains back into the bag finely, saying: "With Chen Xianglai, there will be a day when all the common people can afford rice...just let her be well. , don't be surprised."

Xu Lin said: "She's a farming girl, what accident can happen to her?"

Luo Jinxing took two steps behind his back and said, "I always feel that something was wrong with the assassin that night. Just now, the spy said that someone had already asked about Chen Xianglai. Do you think someone wanted to harm her?"

Xu Lin still had a sullen face, and said: "No way, but planting rice, who will offend, and why hire an assassin to kill her?"

Luo Jinxing said: "I don't know about this, but I still take precautions. Even if no one wants to kill her, they should watch her not to be drawn by others..."

Then he turned to look at Xu Lin, and said: "By the way, didn't you say that your younger brother is also very good at martial arts? Can you find a way to send him to Chen Xianglai, so as to protect Chen Xianglai and prevent others from Send Chen Xianglai to the father first to claim credit."

Xu Lin's unmoving expression finally changed, and he said in surprise: "My brother! Go protect her? My brother has made many military exploits with the general, and he will soon be promoted to the deputy general of the general. How can he protect her?" A country girl!"

Luo Jinxing came over and patted him on the shoulder, and said: "It's okay, it's not the same everywhere. I'm here, so I'm afraid that I won't have his glory and wealth in the future? Besides, going to Chen Xianglai is at most to grow land. Dangerous, maybe one day we will fight against Nanliao, and you are not afraid that he will make a mistake?"
