The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and Songming Mountain is still the appearance of a quiet mountain village in the old days, but among the villagers, who make moon cakes, slaughter ducks, pickled sugar osmanthus, and even have good deeds, they have caught a basket of crabs. Even Wang Xiaoguan, who has been tossed enough for several days, faced with the festive season, he finally recalled that his return to his hometown was not just to brush up on the achievement of both civil and military affairs, he also brought a bag of chili powder and a bag of chili seeds on this trip, wanting to find a place to plant it. After taking a moment, he solemnly explained this work to Wang Qi.

Even if he had planted this thing in a flower pot in his previous life, he still didn't have much bottom when he told Wang Qi to try planting. As for the bag of chili powder, he directly instructed Wang Qi's sister-in-law to add vegetables to himself.

Whether it's Mr. Ke or Mr. Fang, they're all the kind of people who can't pull back nine cows if they see a target. So in the past few days, Ye Xiaopang, Wang Wujing, Jinbao and Qiu Feng are four to deal with one, Wang Fulin has to deal with one by one, after surviving Mr. Ke's three-day intensive tutoring, it is Mr. Fang's eight-strand intensive class, he simply feels that the Ming Dynasty scholars are working hard in the science field, and their whole life is gray.

In the words of Master Li, an assistant teacher, who made him die without amnesia after the previous attack, and because his appearance was too prominent, Wang Daokun, Ye Junyao, and Master Feng had already booked a place for him, and it would be a shame to not be able to get into the exam? Don't look at Master Feng and him now so good that he can wear a pair of pants, just a county to learn the teachings, and the annual examination is not at all talkable.

It was precisely because of this that he was shocked to hear that even the annual examination was in the hands of the great master of learning. As a result, he had to taste the bitter wine brewed by jumping up and down, and enjoy the ultra-luxurious treatment of the special training class for the annual examination - Master Li is a lifter, and Ke Fang and the others are at least lifters, otherwise they would not say that the head of the township test is the way, and he would not be surprised by the attitude of those who passed the township test. And such three lifters are now revolving around him with a little show talent and four little guys who are not even children!

Seeing that the next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival, Wang Erniang and Wang Xiaomei sisters came forward to grind hard and soak Mr. Ke and Mr. Fang, and everyone finally had a rare rest for two days.

At this moment, not to mention that the little guys breathed a sigh of relief, even Wang Fulin felt that the whole person was alive. Wang Xiaomei squirmed and pinched that he had heard that Wu's orchard in Xixi South was the most beautiful, and he could not go to see the scenery, he thought of going to the city and returning to his hometown these days, basically he didn't take his two sisters out of the house, and immediately agreed, and cheekily crossed the river to go to the orchard and asked. Fortunately, the owner of the orchard was Wang Daokun's best friend and his in-law, so he readily accepted it, and warmly invited Wang Fulin to bring all the guests in the family, including Mr. Ke and Mr. Fang, as guests. Wang Fulin simply brought Wang Wujing with him.

However, Ke Fang and the others were not interested in the rich garden, but were very interested in Qi Liang, so they took Master Li as a companion, and the four of them went to climb Songming Mountain together. Even so, Wang Erniang and Wang Xiaomei, who have long admired the many garden scenery in Xixinan, were overjoyed. But Ye Xiaopang, of course, would not follow him to climb the mountain, and followed Wang Fulin and the others to the orchard with great interest. In his mind, this is to let go of the wind, not to continue studying in another place.

Although he had entered Wang Dao Kunsong Garden before, he was going to congratulate Mr. Nanming on behalf of his father, and he could only look at the flowers everywhere. And Wu's orchard in Xixi South is half larger than Pine Garden, Wu Shouzhun personally acted as a guide, and the little guy only felt a feast for his eyes, and along the way, he was full of excitement pulling Jinbao and Qiu Feng to mutter, seeing everything was novel.

From so many days of getting along, Qiu Feng vaguely felt that Ye Xiaopang's family was also quite wealthy, and immediately asked in a low voice: "I heard that there are the most gardens in Jiangnan Water Town, and this Wu's orchard was designed by Zhu Zhishan Zhu Dacai back then, aren't you a genuine Jiangnan person, why do you still think it's novel?" ”

"Ningbo is not Suzhou." Ye Xiaopang shrugged his shoulders, and saw that Wang Wujing followed Wang Fulin's side in an orderly manner, but Wang Erniang and Wang Xiaomei fell behind with forsythia, and at this moment the three of them were talking under a flower tree, so he sighed and said, "Although my family is quite rich, but the house is an old house, and the family has a lot of people, if it weren't for my mother's strength, maybe I would have been calculated by those uncles, uncles, seven aunts and eight aunts." Besides, although Ningbo Mansion is rich, it is not as famous for its beautiful scenery as Suzhou, Yangzhou and Hangzhou, so there are not many famous gardens. And, as you know, my father's temperament, I wouldn't want to be a guest in a place like this. ”

Jinbao and Ye Xiaopang are already very close now, and at this moment, they can't help but interject and ask, "What about your mother's maiden family?" ”

"My mother?" Ye Mingzhao tilted his head, and finally coughed and said, "My mother's family has a small population, but my grandfather was in business in the south and was not at home all year round, and she has helped my grandmother take care of the family since she was a child, which is amazing!" Even now, my grandmother has never been loud to my mother, because the location of the one or two thousand acres of paddy fields at home is not good, and the tenants are all Diaomin, if it weren't for my mother, those tenants would have rebelled a long time ago! ”

Jinbao's eyes widened suddenly: "Then what will happen to your mother's family in Ningbo when she comes out this time?" ”

"I don't know, but I heard my sister say that my mother is probably enthusiastic about her grandmother's trust, so let them taste what is called a hot potato!"

Not only did Jin Bao and Qiu Feng hear this, but even Wang Fulin, who was only a few steps away from him, heard it clearly. He saw that Wu Shouzhun on the side was also delicate, but he tried his best to pretend that nothing happened, and he couldn't help but have a deep curiosity about this Mrs. Ye Xianzun. In the next visit, he had already come to the garden twice, once to beat people here, and once to stay here for a night with Qi Liang and a group of old soldiers, so he was naturally not as interested as others. When it was close to lunchtime, everyone was tired of shopping, and Wu Shouzhun was about to take everyone back to the flower hall for dinner, but a girl hurried over.

"Young master, someone from Songming Mountain Village brought a letter over, saying that he was looking for Wang Xiaoguan."

"Looking for me?" Wang Fulin hurriedly stepped forward, "Have you said anything?" ”

The girl thought of the news from the outside, she couldn't help but glance at Wang Fulin more, and then said respectfully: "The second master of the Xu family on Doosan Street, and Mrs. Ye Xianzun are here, so I told you to go back quickly." ”

As soon as these words came out, not to mention that Wang Fulin was stunned, even Wu Shouzhun, who was used to seeing big scenes, was also surprised. The Xu family on Doosan Street is from Xu Village, but they have earned an old family business over the years, and Cheng Naixuan's father, who is good friends with Wang Fulin, is called Cheng Xu, plus the Wang family, who has always been very famous in the two Huai salt industries, Wang, Cheng, and Xu are divided into three points and two Huai salt industries, this is definitely not just talk -- of course, these three surnames also include other salt merchants with the same surnames Wang, Cheng, and Xu in She County and other five counties. As for Ye Xianzun, although he is not as strong as the local heroes, he still occupies the position of his parents' official after all, and that lady has never heard of it before, could it be that he just arrived?

"What, my mother is here?" Ye Xiaopang's elated face just now collapsed suddenly, he hurriedly grabbed Jinbao with one hand and Qiu Feng with the other, and said nervously, "You have to testify to me, I have been working hard lately, and I have never been lazy." ”

Without waiting for Wang Fulin to speak, Wu Shouzhun changed his mind, and immediately said with a smile: "Since they are all here, it is fate, why don't you invite the two distinguished guests to the orchard for a while?" ”

But at this moment, Wang Wujing, who was decent along the way, suddenly said: "Distinguished guests come to Songming Mountain, we have not yet fulfilled the friendship of the landlord, how can we disturb the owner of the orchard and Brother Wu?" ”

Only then did Wu Shouzhun realize that there was the future owner of the pine garden standing here, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed. At this time, Wang Fulin, who had just been shocked by the two sudden guests, hurriedly snorted: "I originally planned to disturb Brother Wu Shi today, but I really didn't expect that there would be such a coincidence that a distinguished guest would come to the door." Although it was caught off guard, it was like saying that there was no competition, and the friendship of the landlord was always unreasonable. If Mrs. Ye Xianzun and Second Master Xu still want to talk for a while, how about I introduce them again? I'm really sorry for today, it's because I didn't think about it enough. ”

"Where, it's me who is different, so it is."

Wu Shouzhun happily sent the group outside the gate of the orchard, and seeing that they left in a hurry immediately, he summoned a small servant and ordered: "Go to Songming Mountain to see how many people have come from the Xu family and the Ye family, and find out what they are here for." ”

When Wang Fulin rushed back to his house, he saw many carriages and horses parked at the gate of the old house, and there were one or twenty followers alone. Thinking that his small house had ushered in a group of people with extraordinary identities for several days, Wang Fulin felt that this house was a little small for the first time. Although he didn't understand that when the family was well-off, his father had been living in the ancestral house in the city, so he had not repaired the old house in the village, or like the ancestral house, the original mansion in Songming Mountain was also sold to pay off the debt, anyway, when Wang Qi reported the place where the two guests were placed, the cramped house could not be hidden at all.

Because it was a courtyard with two entrances, Mrs. Ye Xianzun was invited to the room of Wang Erniang and Wang Xiaomei in the inner courtyard, and Wang Fulin gave Ye Xiaopang a look, so he sent Ye Xiaopang to accompany him first. As for the second master Xu, he was placed in the front hall to serve tea. Because the forsythia is not there, there is not even a girl waiting at home, it is Wang Qi's sister-in-law who personally serves tea and water. At this time, when Wang Qi's sister-in-law told Wang Fulin about this, her tone was still a little palpitating.

"That Second Master Xu has a straight face, it won't be Xingshi who asks for guilt, right?"

What is Mrs. Ye Xianzun doing here, Wang Fulin is not too worried, because with such a smart daughter as Ye Mingyue, even if she is a mother, she will not be unreasonable. But after the second master Xu came to the door, he still looked like a ghost, and he was a little unhappy. So, he folded his mood and expression, and walked into his hall without being humble or arrogant.

As soon as he looked at him, he felt that the four words described by Wang Qi were not speculation, because at this time, the eyes of Second Master Xu looked at him with deep criticism and scrutiny, which made people very uncomfortable.

"Wang Xiaoguanren." Seeing Wang Fulin bowing his hand, Second Master Xu raised his eyebrows and said lightly, "I came to send the Mid-Autumn Festival gift on the order of my mother, of course, I also want to see what can make my mother's heart break and the little girl's heart is sacred!" ”
