The next morning, Lin Wan woke up to a noisy sound. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Bing'er had already woken up and prepared hot water and breakfast. Seeing Lin Wan wake up, he hurriedly walked over and helped Lin Wan get the clothes and shoes and socks he wanted to wear.

Qingtong also walked in and reported to Lin Wan what was happening outside.

Lin Wan sat in front of the bronze mirror and asked Bing'er to comb her hair in a simple bun. While listening to Qingtong's report, he nodded in agreement from time to time.

Early this morning, several women who lived nearby came to the Fengxiang Inn and helped move some of the items they were going to use to the empty yard that Old Man Zhong lent yesterday. Ah Jin also found a few credible villagers who could write to help keep accounts.

Lu Zhixin came very early, asked Ah Jin to book a private room at noon today, and asked a few grain merchants to talk about donating grain and buying grain.

Lin Wan finished breakfast, stood up, and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go and have a look." So saying, he walked to the door.

When I opened the door, I saw Ximen Yuqing standing in the corridor, standing at the door of the third room on the left, as if she had just come out, and it seemed that she was waiting for her here.

Lin Wan smiled and said, "Master Ximen, is it so coincidental, where are you going?"

Ximen Yuqing turned around and looked at Lin Wan with a smile, only to see that she was wearing a goose-yellow skirt, without a veil or too much embellishment, simple and neat, and generous in temperament. Ximen Yuqing smiled slightly, and asked politely: "My son is fine today, and I also want to help Miss Amu to do it, I wonder if Miss Amu thinks this son is clumsy?"

Lin Wan smiled without hesitation: "Of course, Ximen Gongzi is willing to help, Amu can't ask for it, how can he dislike Ximen Gongzi?" As he spoke, he had already walked to Ximen Yuqing's side, looked up at him, and said, "Ximen Gongzi will go next door with me to see if the two of us can help." ”

"Please, girl. Ximen Yuqing leaned sideways and tilted his head, asking Lin Wan to go first.

Lin Wan was not polite, and took the lead to walk downstairs. Qingtong and Bing'er followed closely behind her.

Ximen Yuqing did not bring the guards, but walked alone behind Lin Wan and the other three, gently shaking the folding fan, pacing leisurely, and slowly walking downstairs.

Out of the Fengxiang Inn, go to the right for a short distance, and see a very lively courtyard.

There was a table at the door of the courtyard, and on the table was an account book, and a man who looked like a scholar sat behind the desk, carrying a pen, not knowing what was being written.

A woman took a child by the hand, walked up to the scholar, put the burden on the table, and talked about the items she had donated.

The scholar opened the bag, only to see that there were two pairs of boots in the bag, the boots looked new, but they didn't look like they were new, they should have been done for a long time, but they had not been worn.

Lin Wan slowly walked to their side, only to see that the scholar was writing down the woman's name in the account book, as well as the names and quantities of the items she had donated.

When the scholar had memorized everything, the woman and the child went out into the courtyard with their baggage.

Lin Wan followed behind her and also walked into the courtyard, only to see a round-faced young woman who was helping to sort out the items greeted her, took the burden in the woman's hand, and said enthusiastically: "Sister-in-law of the Liu family, you are also here, and you are still taking Huzi, didn't Huzi go to school today?"

The sister-in-law of the Liu family smiled heartily: "Even Mr. Private School is here today, what kind of school is Huzi still going to! ”

The round-faced young woman patted her head and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Isn't it, Mr. is keeping accounts in it, look at my brain, I forget everything when I'm busy." By the way, sister-in-law of the Liu family, what did you bring with you?"

The sister-in-law of the Liu family raised the burden on her hand and said, "It's the two pairs of boots made for Huzi's father a few days ago, and they haven't been worn yet, and they are not in a hurry to wear them." I saw that I could still get my hands on it, so I thought about bringing it over first and wearing it for the soldiers who were fighting on the front line. In a few days, when I'm free, I'll redo it for Huzi's father. ”

The round-faced young woman took the hand of the sister-in-law of the Liu family and walked to the third room on the right, and still introduced: "This first room is for quilts, the second room is for clothes, the third room is for shoes, the fourth room is for medicinal materials, and the main house is for food." There are also a couple of rooms over there, and a couple of sisters are in them to help tidy up and pack. There are also a few sisters-in-law in the kitchen who help cook and boil water to make tea. ”

Lin Wan walked into the courtyard and looked at everyone's busy figures, feeling a little excited.

When everyone saw Lin Wan, they all greeted warmly. A middle-aged woman who was boiling tea shouted, "Miss Amu, you are here too." It's too chaotic here, so let's sit in the water room. ”

Lin Wan smiled at her and nodded, and said, "Thank you, auntie, I'll take a look around and come over to talk to you later." ”

The middle-aged woman responded happily, returned to the water room, and busily made another pot of hot tea, poured out a few cups, and asked a little girl next to her to serve it to the new sister-in-law of the Liu family, and Lin Wan and the four of them.

Ah Jin heard that Lin Wan was coming, and hurriedly walked out of the main house. took Lin Wan's hand and walked towards the main house together.

When I walked into the main room, I saw that half of the spacious room was filled with food packed with hemp bags, and there were thousands of bags.

Lin Wan was pleasantly surprised, how could there be so much food so quickly? Turning his head to look at the two people sitting in the high hall, he saw Lu Zhixin sitting on the right and Old Man Zhong sitting on the left.

Seeing Lin Wan coming, Lu Zhixin hurriedly got up and greeted him, and introduced: "Miss Amu, this is Grandpa Zhong, the most prestigious and respected old-timer in our Fengnan City. He donated all this food, and this yard is also his old man's home. ”

Lin Wan walked up to Old Man Zhong, curtsied, and said, "Amu has seen Grandpa Zhong, thank you Grandpa Zhong for supporting and helping our juniors, thank you!"

Old Man Zhong also stood up and said kindly: "Fengnancheng belongs to all of us, so many people are willing to contribute, of course the old man can't be left behind." The old man should thank Miss Amu on behalf of the people of Nancheng, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have thought of such a good way to help the Pingnan army and pay our own strength to protect the Nancheng. ”

Lin Wan shook his head with a smile and said, "Grandpa Zhong has won the prize, and Amu just says whatever he thinks." Without everyone's support and help, Amu couldn't do anything, Amu just moved his mouth, and it was everyone else who was busy, Amu was really ashamed. ”

Old Man Zhong secretly praised in his heart, this girl is not very old, but she is modest and calm, and she is very intelligent, which is indeed not simple. It's just that what is the relationship between her and Ximen Yuqing? How did they come together?

Ximen Yuqing stood beside Lin Wan, met Old Man Zhong's gaze, smiled and nodded. (To be continued.) )
