Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 67 It Was You
Xu Lindao: "Last year, the son came to visit the grave. He heard that someone was planting rice here. He insisted on coming to see it, but he was separated from the river by the rain, so he stayed at Chen Xianglai's house. In the end..."

Xu Che was stunned again, thinking about it and felt wrong, and said, "Last year? Last year, Chen Xianglai was only 14 years old, so..."

Xu Lin glared at him fiercely, and said in a low voice, "It's all said to be drunk, drunk!"

"Oh..." Xu Lin nodded again, reluctantly said: "Ten, 14 years old is not too young... But no matter how you are a country girl, he is too hungry to eat!"

"After drinking, after drinking!"

After Xu Lin's forceful indoctrination over and over again, Xu Che finally believed it, and thought to himself, no wonder the girl understood Wu Zhaodi and Li Wangcai's "what" the other day, because she had already experienced it!
Thinking of this, he finally put down the shovel, leaned on the handle of the shovel and said: "Even if she is the son's woman, she is a country girl after all. The King of Beiliao can't let the son marry her!"

Xu Lin rubbed his chin and continued to talk nonsense: "Isn't the son trying to find a way? Didn't you see the son trying his best to praise her? If he can really praise her as a golden phoenix, then there will be a lot of fun."

He said this in his mouth, but he thought in his heart: My son, if you are not benevolent, don't blame me for being unrighteous. If you don't arrange you, my younger brother will have to cut off my robes. Loyalty is of course important, but I can't stop my brother!
After hearing what he said, Xu Che looked at the two paddy fields in the north and south, smacked his lips and shook his head, and said, "Just pointing at the land planted here, it's still a golden phoenix, and I think it's about the same as a local duck!"

Xu Lin stood beside him with a sullen face and said nothing, thinking that Jin Fenghuang is still a duck, as long as you believe it.

After Xu Che finished speaking, he licked it again, still feeling uncomfortable, and said, "No matter what, it's not a way out for me to come here to help the prince watch the wild woman!"

Xu Lin saw that his words were ugly, and stared and said: "What are you talking about! What is a wild woman? This wild woman may be the future princess! What an honor it is to be able to protect the princess closely? If this woman has enough wrists, she only needs to say a word In other words, your status will be higher than your brother and me in the future, so be content!"

Xu Che believed what he said before, but Xu Che couldn't believe what he said, so he curled his lips in disdain and said, "It's about returning to the princess. If she becomes the princess, I will write it backwards!"

Xu Lin felt guilty, so he could only change the topic as soon as possible, and said: "Don't think about it, you can stay at ease if the son wants you to protect her, and you will definitely not lose it! Come on, tell me what the princess has done recently, and let me know what the princess has done recently. I will report to the son later on."

After a fight, the two brothers finally sat down to talk quietly. Xu Che told Xu Lin everything Xianglai had done since he came here, including how Xianglai was plotted against by Li Yongfa, and then plotted against Li Yongfa again. His [-] mu of paddy field failed to yield, Liang Youde came to find fault, was frightened by himself to go back, and so on.

The two brothers were talking here, and Xianglai in the village was not at ease. After returning home and settling down Luo Jinxing, she made a special trip to the village entrance to look over here. Not only did they stop fighting, but they even sat together and talked about their hearts. Only then did I go back with confidence.

Luo Jinxing knew why she was going out, and after entering the room, he asked, "How, are they still beating?"

Xianglai said doubtfully, "I stopped fighting, not only did I stop fighting, but I also sat and chatted with friends."

Luo Jinxing knew this would be the result, and said with a smirk: "Oh, maybe this is called not being acquainted..."

As he spoke, he raised the river lantern he had brought from Xu Che and Tianlai's room and asked, "You made this?"

Xianglai looked at Hedeng and said, "Well, it was my idea, but I didn't do it this year, it was Tianlai and Shen Che who did it."

Luo Jinxing lowered his head and smiled, and said in his heart: "It really is you, I wondered if someone else had such a unique idea..."

Thinking about it, he said deliberately: "I heard from your brother that this thing was put in the river at night. It must be very beautiful. Can you let me have a look at it tonight?"

Xiang Lai hesitated for a moment, then said: "But tonight is the fourteenth, and it's only released on the Ghost Festival."

Luo Jinxing was a little disappointed and said: "Oh, it's a pity, I can only stay for one night today, and I have to leave tomorrow."

Seeing his disappointment, Xianglai couldn't bear it, and said: "Okay, let's let it go tonight. The only thing you care about in mourning for your relatives is one day or two."

Luo Jinxing smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss Xianglai, for your success. I will go with you tonight."

Sure enough, as Luo Jinxing said, the people he brought this time included cooks and handymen, and there was no need for Xiang Lai Niang and Second Aunt to prepare the meals.Four cold dishes and eight hot ones served twelve dishes, all of which were delicious in color, fragrance, and each dish was prepared in two servings, not only from Luo Jinxing, but also from Xianglai's family.

Xianglai Niang was quite embarrassed by this, and went to Luo Jinxing to express her apology and thanks. Luo Jinxing replied politely and politely, without any arrogance of a son-in-law.

Luo Jinxing asked Xianglai and Tianlai to accompany him during the meal.

Xianglai was naturally thick-skinned, and she didn't feel that she was eating other people's food at all. She still had her "bold" eating appearance, and Luo Jinxing was so excited about eating that An Guang, who was standing behind Luo Jinxing, curled his lips.

This time Xu Lin was not with him, and set up a table with all the attendants in the courtyard, while Xu Che still pretended not to know them well, and ate in the kitchen with Xiang Lai Niang and Second Aunt.

It's just that Xu Che has been looking at Xianglai strangely since returning home, and has been wondering why this dead girl has such a charm that she can make the prince "disorderly".

In the twinkling of an eye, at night, Xianglai told Tianlai to release the river lantern in advance. Although Tianlai was a little reluctant, he agreed when he heard that the guests wanted to see it. After all, he didn't have the deep-rooted obsession of Xianglai. The lights must be put on at night during the Hungry Ghost Festival.

A group of people came to the riverside, Xianglai, Luo Jinxing, and Tianlai stood by the water, An Guang behind him lit the lamps and handed them to everyone.

Tian Sheng looked at the colored lanterns in his hand and said, "This year's river lanterns are so beautiful, sister, let's compare to see who can float the farthest this year."

Looking at the mighty river, Xianglai said, "Of course it's mine, none of your lights can float farther than mine!"

Luo Jinxing answered, "Why is Miss Xianglai so confident?"

Xianglai smiled and said nothing, Tianlai pouted and said: "My sister must have some trick to make the river lantern float far. The year before last and last year hers floated far without sinking!"

Luo Jinxing didn't believe it, he picked up a river lantern and put it in the water first, but the lantern sank after floating for a while.

Tianlai also put down the lamp in his hand. Although it didn't sink this time, it spun around the water and couldn't get into the deep water.

Finally, Xianglai put down the lamp, only to see that it was drifting farther and farther in the river.

Unconvinced, Luo Jinxing picked up one and put it into the river again. Although it drifted farther this time, it was still impossible to catch up with Xianglai's river lantern. He suddenly became interested, waved to the people behind him, and said: "All of you come and release, whoever's river lantern can catch up with Miss Xianglai's will be rewarded."
