Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 97

Seeing Gan Yuan, Qiu Changrong couldn't help but wondered, "What's wrong with Touweng, did you get the tiger skin?"

Gan Yuan waved his hand and wanted to punch him, but when the wound was involved, he yelled again and cursed, "You have a bad idea, why did you say that the tiger skin is in their house, and there is not even a hair! Send it to Lin Song's dog something!"

"I saw that dead girl cleaning the tiger skin in the yard a few days ago, why did she give it away?" Qiu Changrong frowned, "What's the matter with that old man's injury? Could it be that Du Xian and his wife still dare to beat you? "

Gan Yuan said bitterly, "They dare, but it's not that bastard! It's a coincidence that he could still have a sum of money stuffed between his teeth!" He frowned as he said, "Don't let that little girl go to tip off the news, right? "

"Maybe, that family is very difficult," Qiu Changrong felt the same way, "Du Xian and his wife are nothing, just a few children!" The siblings must have suffered a lot, he rolled his eyes and said , "Lin Song dared to be the leader, but you can't let him go for nothing! You are from the Yamen, and you were bullied by a small man like him. If you don't go, you won't be ashamed? How will you stand up in front of others in the future?"

Gan Yuan was silent when he heard this, his anger turned back to anger, but he was also a little frightened, this man is too courageous, and his martial arts are so good, even if he calls a dozen or so yamen servants, he will not be his opponent.

"The tiger-skin-headed old man originally wanted to use it to honor the county lord's father. How can he be unhappy if he knows you have the same intentions? Now that Lin Song is ignorant, he stopped the head-headed man from buying the tiger skin halfway. Isn't it just that he looks down on his old man? Is it? The county master has always been filial, so there is no reason not to listen!"

Qiu Changrong offered advice in a low voice, "Those disciples of the Lin Song Sect often gather together to make trouble, and last time I heard that they were going to defect to those horse bandits in Hongshan..."

The more Gan Yuan listened, the happier he became, and he patted Qiu Changrong on the shoulder vigorously, "Okay, okay, I'm sure I read you right, you have a lot of ideas!"

Qiu Changrong chuckled, "I will have a lot of places to rely on in the future, so I have to plan well for Touweng. Lin Song will never be at peace every day he is in the village!"

The two went shoulder to shoulder.

But on Lin Song's side, Du Xian was extremely worried and was reprimanding Du Xiaoyu, "You boy, what are you going to do with your Uncle Lin? Just take the money away. This time, Uncle Lin will offend the leader. Please tell me later. I don't know!"

But here he is the only one who dares to offend, Du Xiaoyu doesn't take it seriously, these yamen servants are lawless, they must be taught a lesson.

Mrs. Zhao didn't speak, and said half aloud, "Why don't Brother Lin go out to avoid it? I'm afraid this servant will incite the county magistrate when he returns. When the time comes..."

When Lin Song heard the word county master, a very contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't take it seriously.

Is it really a big man?Du Xiaoyu saw it, and secretly guessed that the county lord is a seventh-rank official after all. If you say that the yamen servant is nothing, but if the county lord really wants to deal with ordinary people, it will be easy for him.

"Brother Du, don't worry, I have my own way to deal with it." It was Lin Song who comforted them in turn, and looked at Du Xiaoyu again, "Do you still need to keep this tiger skin with me?"

"Of course." Du Xiaoyu said hastily, "I'll take it back when they don't dare to change their minds."

Du Xian shook his head. This greedy girl asked Lin Song about building a yard in Nandong Village. That time he said he wanted to take his parents over, and Du Xian always took it to heart.

Lin Song seemed to have forgotten, smiled and said, "It's not in a hurry, I still have one thing to deal with."

"What's the matter, can I help?"

Lin Song didn't answer right away, but turned his head slightly to look at the sunlight outside the house. He was very quiet for a while, and after a long time, he finally said slowly, "To tell you the truth, brother Du, I haven't been home for many years, and I traveled around to find my nephew. "

"Ah!" Du Xian was surprised, "What happened to your nephew?"

Du Xiaoyu over there was also extremely surprised. For some reason, she remembered the ruby ​​that Zhou Ya gave her, which fell from Lin Song's scabbard.

It turned out that he was looking for someone. Could it be that his nephew had appeared in Beidong Village?

Lin Song stopped talking, just shook his head and said, "He should be as old as Wen Yuan now, I don't know when he will know about my uncle!"

After he finished speaking, he went out.

Du Xian sighed, "Brother Lin has such a sad thing, and he doesn't know what happened to his nephew, otherwise we can help to find it together, his mother..." He said oops, "His mother, your face Why is it so white, is it uncomfortable? Mother, what's wrong with you!"

Du Xiaoyu hurriedly looked over, only to see that Zhao's body was shaking slightly, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and his eyes were wide open, as if he was frightened.

As soon as the two communicated, Zhao slowly came back to his senses and raised his hand to wipe his forehead.

"Mom, why are you feeling uncomfortable, I'll go and ask the doctor!"

"It's okay, I, I just remembered a dream last night..." Mrs. Zhao stood up, "Just go in and have a rest." After saying that, he stumbled out of the main room, and Du Xian hurriedly followed.

It took him a long time to come out.

"How is the mother?"

"Help me to sleep, hey, I don't want a doctor to come even if I die." Du Xian was a little annoyed, "Your mother is hiding something in her heart, and she didn't tell me, how can I feel at ease!"

"Maybe it's because I didn't sleep well last night." Du Xiaoyu hurriedly comforted, "Mother is just like the eldest sister, she is very thoughtful, she must be thinking too much about everything, then Aunt Cui came to visit when she has nothing to do, I can't bear it, Mother is too embarrassed to say it directly, it is normal to have nightmares."

Like a dog jumping over a wall, Cui wanted to persuade the two families to get married, but the more she was like this, the more suspicious others were, how could she dare to agree?
It was reasonable for Du Xian to think about it, so he stopped thinking about it.

After a few days, all the cold melons were ripe. Du Xiaoyu picked some of the best melons, washed the seeds and dried them, and kept them in a small sealed jar. Then he and his father hired an ox cart to go to the county sell melons.

It was the hottest time, and the two of them became thirsty on the way. They opened a cold melon and ate it all the way. There were also business travelers passing by along the way. Seeing a car dragging a cold melon, they all got out of the car to buy it. In this way, a quarter of it was sold.

When I arrived in De County, I saw that there was no one selling cold melons. Rare things are more expensive. Of course Du Xiaoyu was going to raise the price, but she didn't ask the sky-high price either. The money rose to nine coins per catty.

What about the extra literacy? The real rich people don’t care about this little money, and the originally scarce materials have always been owned by a few people, let alone bought to honor others, so it’s nothing In just a short while, the cold melons were sold out, earning a full 12 taels of silver, which was more than twice that of last year.

Du Xiaoyu handed all the money to Du Xian, and said with a smile, "Look, it really is beneficial to plant in advance. Dad, I don't think our family has enough cow dung. Next year, I want to try planting an acre of land."

Du Xian took out five taels of silver and gave her, "You are taking care of the cold melon fields. Your mother told me when I came out, saying that you are big-hearted, so I will give you some silver for you to fiddle with." He added, "Cow dung. It’s not easy to deal with. Your Uncle Dafa’s family has two cows. I asked him if he would give them if he wanted them? Their family sells groceries and pork now, so they don’t grow much land.”

It seemed that her mother knew her very well, so Du Xiaoyu happily took the money, "Then I want to buy another two acres of land, can it work?"

"Okay, dad will help you out." Du Xian said with a smile, "You all grow cold melons?"

"I still want to plant a medicinal herb. I want to ask Lord Wan for advice today."

"Growing medicinal herbs? This is the first time I've heard of it!" Du Xian said, "There is no one in our village who grows it. It's probably hard to get it. In case you get sick and don't know what it is, you should think about it."

Du Xiaoyu nodded, and the two talked all the way to Wanjia.

It was noon, when they went, Wan's family was eating, and after the servants informed, they invited them in.

Smelling the aroma of rice, Du Xiaoyu's stomach growled. They sold cold melons so hard that they completely ignored their hunger. Now that they were stimulated, they immediately felt overwhelmed.

"Oh, look at how confused I am, I forgot to come after dinner!" Du Xian slapped his head.

Du Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Father is hungry too? Then let's eat before we come back."

The two were about to leave when Zhang Zhuoyu came out from the main room, "Why are you leaving again? Didn't you want to see my uncle?"

"Hungry." Du Xiaoyu scratched his head, "Come back later."

Seeing her confession, Zhang Zhuoyu laughed, "It's not easy, we have a lot of food in the kitchen, I'll ask someone to bring it up, and it won't be too late to see my uncle after you finish eating."

"That's bothering you." Du Xian said hurriedly, and then asked, "Where's Wen Yuan?"

"Oh, he's invited to dinner today, so he won't come back."

"Ah?" Du Xiaoyu wondered, "Who invited my second brother to dinner?"

"I don't know too well." Zhang Zhuoyu shook his head. This senior brother is very talented, and his poems are gradually becoming famous. There are always many dinner parties. I meet all kinds of people, and I rarely have free time.

Du Xiaoyu and Du Xian were having dinner in the side hall, and Wan Fanglin also came, holding the white rabbit she gave her, and he seemed to like it very much.

Zhang Zhuoyu said with a smile, "My cousin sleeps with her in her arms at night. This rabbit is also well-behaved, very clean, and knows her cousin, so I hang around her all day long."

"That's good. I'm afraid they will be misbehaving and make Miss Wan unhappy." Du Xiaoyu smiled, "Actually, they can be trained. It's convenient for me to go to a special place." She taught the rabbits Wan Fanglin listened to the method of going to the toilet with a serious face, and then asked someone to order it.

"Didn't the peddler buy me some special varieties last time? I'll give you two more when there are beautiful ones in the future."

Wan Fanglin was a little shy, but also a little happy, looking at Zhang Zhuoyu.

"Xiaoyu accepted it for you. We are all friends anyway." Zhang Zhuoyu patted her hand, "At worst, you can treat her to dinner later."

Wan Fanglin nodded, "Well, Xiaoyu, I'll treat you to dinner next time."

"Okay." Du Xiaoyu smiled.

After dinner, Zhang Zhuoyu took her to see Master Wan.

I wish everyone a happy Valentine's Day, and wish all lovers in the world get married~~
