Today's trip is only half a day, and it is in the afternoon when they return home, the two sneak into the house, and poor Xiao Lanlan is still in the room, pushing the door open a crack in anticipation.

Seeing the two people who left home coming back, Qin Lan was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to look at Sai Kang and asked if he was okay? Ask him if he feels anything unwell? Instead, Xia Shang was left aside.

This situation made Xia Shang inexplicably embarrassed, and even a little incomprehensible. This young master is so fierce to her, why is he still thinking about it?

Standing in Saikang's room, Xia Shang was a little depressed, I didn't know if this was jealousy, so he decided to leave first.

"Young master, I'll go first. I've been here for a long time for fear of arousing suspicion. ”

"Okay." Sai Kang nodded unsatisfied, and suddenly thought of something and said, "Hey! When are we going out again? ”

"This ...... We'll see when the time comes. ”

Answering weakly, Xia Shang had already walked to the door.

Suddenly, a small hand stretched out from behind his back: "I'll send you." ”

"Young lady......" Looking at Qin Lan's faint smile, Xia Shang was a little stupid.

"Yes, yes, yes! Xia Shang worked hard and had to be sent. ”

Even Sai Kang said so, and Qin Lan walked beside Xia Shang naturally.

The room of the young master of the Sai family is very remote, and there will be basically no people coming and going, and the two walk side by side, walking very slowly. Under the eaves, stepping on the light and shadow, it is plain and pleasant.

Neither of them spoke, and it felt very strange to think of the ambiguity when they snuggled together last night.

"Young lady, just send it here."

"Why is it still a young lady? It's okay for you to call me a young lady in front of people, but there is no one around, why are you still so angry? Aren't you or I friends? ”

"Then I'll call you Xiao Lanlan, okay?"

"Xiao Lanlan?" Qin Lan's face turned red, and she said in her heart that this title was too intimate.

"What? Isn't it possible? ”

"I didn't ...... Didn't say no. ”

"Okay, I'll call you Xiao Lanlan when no one is in the future."

Qin Lan bowed her head shyly, and squeezed out two syllables from her nasal cavity: "En...... Kindness! ”

……

Separated from Qin Lan, when he passed through the outer courtyard, he was stopped by a family member, saying that he was looking for the eldest lady.

So Xia Shang returned to the inner courtyard and went to the eldest lady's room.

The eldest lady was chanting in the room, with an incense burner by her side, and she looked very pious.

"Ma'am."

Xia Shang looked at his life from afar, and the eldest lady gently raised her hand and signaled not to speak.

So Xia Shang had to wait on the side.

It is said that the eldest lady will chant the Buddha every few days, and this ceremony is not long, but not short. Xia Shang stood on the side for a while, but his patience was insufficient, and then he went to the round table behind the screen in the back room and sat down.

This is the eldest lady's inner room, which is full of the eldest lady's most intimate objects, such as gold and silver jewelry, such as rouge gouache, and the red belly pocket on the bed that has not had time to be cleaned up......

"This must be king, right?"

After looking around, Xia Shang suddenly found a letter on the table in front of him.

The envelope has been opened, revealing a corner of the stationery.

Xia Shang is not a person who likes to look at others, but he is really bored in front of him, except for the letter in front of him, there is nothing around to kill time.

After a few hesitations, Xia Shang still couldn't hold back the boredom in his heart, and quietly poked his head out from behind the screen, and after making sure that the eldest lady was still chanting, he returned to the table and carefully opened the envelope.

The handwriting in the letter is beautiful, but the pen is still a little stiff, and at a glance it is clear that the person who wrote it is a young girl. When Xia Shang saw the first two words, he knew who the person who wrote the letter was.

"Mother."

This must be a letter from Miss Saijia.

For this wandering eldest lady, Xia Shang has also learned a lot about her these days.

I heard that her name is Sai Jiangnan. Because she was born in Jiangnan, the master of the Sai family hoped that she could become a girl who had won all the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan in the future, so she named her Saijiangnan. As a result, this Nizi really lived up to expectations, and at the age of sixteen, she already had the capital to match her name. According to the rumors of the family, this eldest lady's appearance is much better than that of Qin Lan. Xia Shang still had some doubts about this, after all, in Xia Shang's opinion, Xiao Lanlan's appearance was already the best in his mind, except for Wu Meiniang, there was no woman in his mind who could stand out.

After reading the letter, Xia Shang knew that the mystery in his heart would soon be solved, because the eldest lady mentioned in her heart that she was already on her way back to Chang'an City at this moment. The letter talked about some business matters, as well as what he had seen and heard in Jingzhou, and finally mentioned a matter related to Xia Shang.

"Recently, I heard that there is a new cook in the family, and it is said that it is not very ruly, and I hope that my mother will deal with it as appropriate, and I can't kick him out of the house."

This short sentence made Xia Shang angry enough.

"Not very well-behaved? Hey! Is there an irregularity there? One mind is for your family, you are thousands of miles away, how do you know that Lao Tzu is unruly at home? That's right! How did my story get to the ears of the eldest lady? She clearly remembered that the eldest lady had run away before she came to the Sai family, and she shouldn't know about her own affairs. And listening to this tone, it must be that the eldest lady stopped saying something unfavorable to herself, otherwise she would not have said such things in the letter. ”

The doorway in this can allow Xia Shang to scrutinize it a little.

"Who among the Sai family is dissatisfied with Lao Tzu? Will you chew the root of your tongue behind your back? Sangsang? Big lady? Qin Lan? Master? And those maids? Doesn't anyone seem to be hostile to me? To talk about another cook, Ah Kuan? It was obviously impossible for that person to hook up with the eldest lady. Hiss...... Could it be Xiaolian? ”

As soon as he thought of the key point, the eldest lady's voice suddenly came from outside: "Xia Shang! Where did it go? ”

"This ...... Here's it! Xia Shang hurriedly put the letter away and walked to the hall in a panic, "Big lady, you can count the chanting as finished." ”

The eldest lady looked at Xia Shang suspiciously: "Why did you run inside?" ”

"I'm tired of waiting in the hall, so I'll ......"

"Okay, okay, don't go inside again."

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Let's get down to business." The eldest lady threw aside the futon for chanting, got up and wiped her sweat, "In the morning, the shopkeeper of the fragrant food world came, saying that he wanted to buy some tomatoes, peppers and other things. The price offered is also quite good, and I see that there are a lot of clocks in your backyard, so I want to agree. But when you think about it, these things are yours after all, and it's up to you to decide whether you want to sell them or not. ”

"Buy tomatoes?" Xia Shang pondered, "How much do they drive?" ”

"Everything is ten taels of silver a catty, and the price is ten times higher than that of ordinary fruits and vegetables.

"Ten taels and one pounds? Think beautifully! ”

"Huh? Ten taels or less? ”

"Madam, you imagine that all the vegetables that grow in our yard are all unique treasures! They take ten taels and one pound, and as soon as they turn their heads, they will sell them for more than one hundred taels, which is cheap and cannot be made for them. Besides, they are not the only ones who are interested in my crops, and if we wait a few days, I believe that someone will offer a satisfactory price. ”
