Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 65 The Enemy Meets
Seeing that it was coming to the Ghost Festival again, Tianlai thought about making river lanterns again, but this time instead of looking for Xianglai, he pestered Shen Che to be with him.

Shen Che couldn't talk to the three women in his family, but he hit it off with Tianlai, and actually made a river lantern as if he was messing around with him.

Now the conditions at home are better, and there are various materials available, so I can do a lot with them.

Looking at the big and small river lanterns, Xianglai recalled the grand occasion of the Hungry Ghost Festival when the river was full of bright lights in her previous life, and her heart felt sad again.

Tianlai and Shen Che couldn't stop making river lanterns, so Xianglai let them go and looked at the water and fields with a shovel.

Her [-]-acre field is lined up along the banks of the small river beside the village. It is a long stretch from south to north, including both sides of the road entering the village. It is also the place most likely to be trampled by livestock. Stand by the side of the road.

This day, I was sitting on the side of the road weaving grasshoppers boredly, and when I habitually swept my eyes towards the intersection, I saw a group of people and horses appearing on the mountain road in the distance.

There are very few outsiders in the poor village along the river, and the sudden appearance of so many people who are obviously not villagers immediately attracted Xianglai's attention.

At first she thought it was Liang Youde who tricked the police to come, but after looking at them for a while, she felt that those people did not look like servants, so she sat there staring at them, and the more she looked at them, the more familiar they became, and she waited not far in front of her. Shi finally recognized that it turned out that Luo Jinxing, An Guang, and Xu Lin were the leaders, and there were more than a dozen entourages behind him. Come with pots and pans.

Xianglai stood up from the ground in a daze, raised her hand to wipe off the dust on her buttocks.

Before he could speak, Luo Jinxing rode on the horse and said with a smile: "Why, Miss Xianglai doesn't know me anymore after so many years?"

"Which way!"

Xianglai smiled and said, "I just didn't expect that Master Luo would come again this year!"

Luo Jinxing reined in his horse and stopped, frowned, and said, "Master Luo...that's not a good name!"

Xianglai was taken aback, and said, "Isn't that what they all call you?"

Luo Jinxing said: "They only call me young master, and they are my servants, so naturally they should be called that, but you are different, you...you better call me by my name."

Xianglai thought about it for a while, after all, he is a person with status, and it seems too disrespectful to address him with his first name and surname, and it seems too affectionate to just call him "Jin Xing", so he thought about it and said: "Then I will I'll tell you to be careful, young master, otherwise don't say I'm uncomfortable, your servant probably won't agree."

She was referring to An Guang, of course, and she remembered what she said about this old servant since last year.

Luo Jinxing didn't say yes or no, but got off his horse, and Xu Lin, An Guang and the entourage behind him also dismounted one after another.

Luo Jinxing threw the reins in his hand to An Guang, looked up and down, and said, "So much rice has been planted this year?"

Xianglai said, "Yes, fifty mu of land."

Luo Jinxing nodded in satisfaction, then squatted down to touch the ears of rice, and said, "I have been eating the rice you planted last year. The rice fragrance is really strong, and it is the best quality among all the rice I have eaten, so I bought it again this year." Your rice is gone."

Xianglai was secretly happy when he heard this, it seemed that some of this year's rice could be sold again, so he asked, "How much rice does Master Jinxing plan to buy this year?"

Luo Jinxing glanced at her in surprise, and said, "How much do you want? Since I said it, it is of course the same as last year. I want as much as you have."

"Cough cough cough..."

Xianglai coughed for a while, and almost choked on her own washing.

She looked at Luo Jinxing in astonishment, and said, "I planted fifty acres this year, not five acres!"

Luo Jinxing said indifferently: "I know, you just said it."

Xianglai said, "Do you know how much rice can be produced by fifty mu of land?"

"How many?"

This Luo Jinxing really doesn't know, but he must know a lot.

Xianglai said: "If there is no accident, it should be more than 3 catties. Are you sure you want it?"

Luo Jinxing pondered for a while, nodded and said, "It's more than 3 catties, not bad."

Looking at his tepid appearance, Xianglai began to wonder whether this guy's brain is really sick. Last year's more than a thousand catties was fine, and his family basically had nothing to eat, but this year it was 3. How many catties, even if 360 five catties of rice per person per year, that is enough to feed a thousand people.

Could it be that this Young Master Luo's family has around a thousand members?And regardless of the master and servant, those who carry water, do odd jobs, and those who come to eat when they have nothing to do, all eat such expensive things?

She was so surprised here, but she didn't know that the seven bags of rice she had last year were not enough in Luo Jinxing's hands.

After Luo Jinxing asked someone to grind the rice, there were less than five bags left. First, he sent two bags to his father, the King of Beiliao, and then to his uncle. As a rewarding person, I asked Luo Jinxing to ask for it after the reward was over. As a result, Luo Jinxing had nothing left in his own bag. He was forced by his father and almost went to Xianglai to search for all the seeds. Fortunately, he finally endured. Living.

This year I heard that there are more than 3 catties, and he is secretly happy. Now he can give away enough, so that his father and uncle can eat every day, plus rewards, and they can persist until tomorrow autumn.

Based on last year's good reputation, this time he said all-inclusive, even though Xianglai was quite frightened, she didn't feel that he was boasting. After all, in her impression, he was a banker, and the banker didn't want much. There is as much silver as there is silver.

Thinking of this, she smiled and said: "If Master Jinxing agrees, then I won't assign it to others anymore!"

Luo Jinxing looked into her eyes and said, "Well, that's right."

With a few more casual words, the whereabouts of the rice were settled. Xianglai put aside a major matter on his mind, looked at the followers behind Luo Jinxing, and said, "Master Jinxing, where are you going? It's like an outing!"

Luo Jinxing said: "I came to you on a special trip. I was worried that the two aunts would be too tired, so I asked the servants to bring their own food and drink."

Xianglai secretly sighed that Luo Jinxing was careful, and must have seen that the second aunt was afraid of giving birth, and the mother was not in good health, and worried that she would be too disturbing, so she asked her to prepare everything.

Thinking about it, he said: "Master Jinxing is too outrageous. I have already done such a large amount of business. I still can't entertain you. My mother and second aunt can't do it. I can find someone. Let's go and sit at home." Bar……"

While talking, he took Luo Jinxing to the house.

Luo Jin walked beside her, looked at her pretty side face, and said: "I say I see outsiders, even if I don't see outsiders, I will also see outsiders when you are called by you, Master Jinxing."

Xiang Lai smiled awkwardly, but she didn't know how to answer, but when she looked up, she saw Shen Che walking towards her, as if she had come to change herself for a rest, so she whispered to herself: "It's just in time, just to go to guard the field..."
