"Say, what's the matter?" After the little maid saluted, Lan Xin raised her eyebrows and asked.

"Back to the girl, Mr. Pei is here. The little maid returned with a smile. "Oh, really?" Lan Xin asked with a smile, "Then ······" Her words paused, and a playful smile rose on the corner of her mouth, "Uncle Kui is in the front yard now, right?" Seeing the little maid nodding, she said with a smile, "You go and tell Uncle Kui, greet Mr. Pei for me first, and after I finish talking about things with Meng Lao, I will go and invite him." ”

"Yes, girl, the slave has woken up. The slave and maid retired. The little maid didn't dare to ask more, hung her head, and bowed to leave.

Lan Xin looked at the curtain that was gradually regaining its calm from the shaking, and a smile of unknown meaning rose on the corner of his mouth. took a sip of tea and said to Meng Youfa: "What did Meng Lao want to say just now, go on." ”

Although Meng Youfa was very curious about Mr. Pei's visit at this time, the girl did not see him, but asked Xue Kui to meet him. But he has always adhered to the principle that no matter how curious he is, he doesn't ask too much about his master's affairs. said with a smile: "What the old slave wanted to say just now is that the peanut seeds brought back by the girl last year have been harvested this year. ”

"Really?" Lan Xin said in surprise, his bright eyes overflowing with broken starlight, "It's our first time planting, and we don't have much experience, so we don't know how the harvest will be?"

Meng You's heart was moved, the girl is always so understanding! Sometimes, I know that the girl is just a few polite words, but I still can't help but warm my heart. He said with a smile: "Although it is the first time to plant, the recipe that the girl brought back is very detailed. Therefore, there was no rush, and the harvest was good. There are more than 5,000 catties of shelled peanuts now. ”

"That's so much!" Lan Xin said with a smile on his eyebrows, thinking about it in his heart, and then ordered, "First pick out five hundred catties of large and plump ones, and keep them for next year's seeds." Let the return pick out six hundred catties of good ones, no, eight hundred catties out, and I will keep them for other purposes. I'll let you know when I need to take care of the rest. ”

"Yes, girl, the old slave wrote it down. Meng Youfa nodded in agreement. After a moment's silence, he said excitedly, "That's right, girl. Do you remember the seeds of the bud valley where you came back?" Seeing Lan Xin nodding, he said with a smile, "I really didn't expect that the yield of this crop would be so high. In the third-class mountainous land, one acre of land can reach six or seven hundred catties of bud grain, and in the second-class slope land, one acre of land is almost eight or nine hundred catties of grain. And that place is not to mention, it is more than a thousand catties. ”

The more Meng Youfa spoke, the more excited he became, and he was as happy as a child. He has been in Zhuangzi for so many years, and the happiest thing every year is nothing more than looking at his seeds in the middle of spring, and when he is in the autumn, he will be able to bear fruit and harvest a harvest. Now that the yield of this bud grain is so high, how can he be unhappy?

Lan Xin was also infected by his smile, and said with crooked eyebrows: "I really didn't expect that the yield of this bud grain would be so high! At that time, when I listened to the people on the island, I still didn't believe it!"

Immediately, he restrained the smile on his face and said seriously, "These things must be properly kept." In our house, there is enough limelight today. In addition, with the peanut fork, and then take out the bud valley, it is a little too eye-catching. And because of the glass formula, some people have noticed that it has something to do with our house, so these things must be properly kept. ”

"Don't worry, the old slave will live up to the girl's expectations. Meng Youfa assured earnestly and firmly. After thinking about it, he said, "That's right, girl. The land in the valley you bought this year has been reclaimed by the old slave with people. Next year, we'll plant all the bud seeds, in that case······"

The little maid opened the curtain and said with a flustered face: "Girl, just now the person from the concierge said that the shopkeeper in the sheep soup shop near our house asked someone to come and carry a letter, saying that the Qinghe girl had fallen. ”

"What?!" Lan Xin stood up in a panic, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground with a "click". Meng Youfa looked at the expression on Lan Xin's face, and shook his head unconsciously: The girl really has a deep sisterly love for Miss Qinghe! He wanted to say a few words of comfort, his lips couldn't help but squirm, and he didn't know what to say.

Lan Xin also ignored the tea stains on her skirt and walked out with messy steps. He instructed the maid who was following him: "You go to Dr. Zhu, tell him that Qinghe fell to the ground, ask him to prepare a medicine box, and follow me immediately." I was waiting for him at the door. ”

The little girl stared at her two big eyes and rolled them slightly. She wanted to say that she didn't want to go to Dr. Zhu. Dr. Zhu has a strange temperament, and every time he is extremely happy or extremely unhappy, he will test the medicine on others. The little girl has been tried twice to tickle powder, and now she thinks of the situation when she couldn't scratch or scratch at that time, and she still patted her chest with palpitations.

raised his eyes to look at her girl, and wanted to say that she was not going, but he met the calm and indifferent gaze. When it came to his mouth, he swallowed it back. Turning his head, he walked briskly towards the courtyard where Dr. Zhu lived.

Lan Xin nodded and looked at the tea stains on her skirt, frowned slightly, turned around and went back to the house, found a skirt at random, and asked the red silk in the house to help her change it. Walking out of the house quickly, after Dr. Zhu climbed into the carriage with a hum, Lan Xin knocked on the wall of the carriage and signaled that they could leave.

Lan Xin clasped his arms and leaned on the carriage, staring at the shaking curtains, not knowing what he was thinking. Dr. Zhu was originally a person with few words, and seeing that Lan was silent, he would not speak first.

The carriage drove to the alley where the mutton soup shop was located, because the carriage couldn't get in, Lan Xin and the others got off the carriage at the entrance of the alley and walked quickly towards the mutton soup shop. Although Hong Xuan didn't understand the ins and outs of the matter, he was smart enough not to ask anything, but just lowered his head and followed behind Lan Xin.

There are already many people gathered around the sheep soup shop. Lan Xin walked by, ignoring their doubtful and sympathetic gazes. He walked straight to the counter and yelled at the people standing behind the counter, "Where are the people?"

As soon as the shopkeeper saw Lan Xin coming, his whirling heart finally calmed down. He hurriedly pointed to the small courtyard behind him and said, "There, they are in the small courtyard at the back." With that, the shopkeeper hurriedly walked out from behind, intending to personally take Lan Xin's master and servants over. 10
