Chapter 419
"Grandmother, I need to go to the orchard in the southern suburbs right now." On this day, Lin Wan received a letter and hurried to Ci'an Yuan and Cai's Dao.
Cai looked at Lin Wan in surprise and said, "Go to the southern suburbs?" ”
Lin Wan nodded: "Something happened in the garden, I have to go and see." ”
Cai's brows moved, and he didn't agree immediately, but lowered his eyebrows slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Although Lin Wan was anxious, she also knew that she couldn't urge, so she just stood in front of Cai and waited quietly with a respectful face.
Today's letter was sent by Qi Jun, and it stands to reason that the orchard should not be sent to her if there is something, but Father Ye and Ye Damin have not been in the capital recently.
In ancient times, the transportation was inconvenient, and once you became an official, you could basically only revolve around your position, and the longest vacation was probably half a month after the New Year's Yamen seal.
Once you are appointed to the office, it is impossible to have time to do things like returning to your hometown to worship your ancestors.
In order to allow the jinshi to have time to deal with general affairs before entering the officialdom, Dayu Guo has a very humane rule, that is, the new jinshi will have a three-month vacation before they join the company.
After knowing that there was a three-month holiday, Father Ye had the idea of returning to Shu with his family to worship his ancestors and move the grave.
It has been more than ten years since the Ye family fled from Shudi, and there has been no suitable opportunity to return to Shudi.
This time, the three brothers of the Ye family went to high school together, and Ye Qing also became a relative, and it was time to go back to Shu to comfort the ancestors.
Although the Shu road is difficult, it can be taken by water from the capital.
Of course, even if you take the waterway, there will be a certain risk, but three months is enough time to make two rounds between Shu and the capital, so there is enough time to worship ancestors and even repair the ancestral tomb.
The Ye family set off for Shu on April 15, because it was going upstream, it would take a long time to go, and it was expected that the Dragon Boat Festival would have to be spent on the boat, and it should still be floating on the river now.
Father Ye gave a proper explanation of the matter before leaving, and these days, Lin Wenqing and Lin Hongxuan also went to the southern suburbs from time to time.
The uncle and nephew had just been to the southern suburbs two days ago, and had not heard them mention anything about the orchard.
Cai's doubts are here, but the anxiety between Lin Wan's eyebrows can't deceive people.
Staring at Lin Wan silently for a while, Cai always nodded, but he didn't worry about Lin Wan going to the southern suburbs alone: "It just so happens that there is nothing to do recently, grandmother will accompany you to the southern suburbs for a walk, and you can relax your lazy bones." ”
Lin Wan opened her mouth, she didn't want Cai's to follow, but now she didn't know how serious the pest infestation in the orchard was, and she didn't know if she would be able to come back when she went.
It's just that in this way, I'm afraid I won't be able to go that day.
Lin Wan's brows frowned slightly, she was really afraid that the sisters would follow them to the southern suburbs when they got the news.
If it weren't for the pest in the orchard, the sisters would have stayed in the garden for a few days.
Although the peak season of mulberry fruit and bayberry ripening has passed this season, there should still be some tail fruit in the orchard, and it is also a beautiful thing for the sisters to taste the taste of freshly picked and eaten.
It's just that there is an insect infestation in the orchard? As stated in Qi Jun's letter? The situation is a bit serious, and all Lin Wan's thoughts are about how to deal with insect pests? Naturally, there is no desire to play with the sisters.
Cai saw that Lin Wan did not object to his proposal to go to the southern suburbs with him? His brows furrowed slightly, thinking of Lin Wan's hurried appearance before? I understood what Lin Wan was struggling with.
Urgent matters naturally have to be done urgently, and Cai's should go down even if he is instructed.
Half an hour later? Three carriages drove out of the side door of the Zhennan Hou Mansion? A trail towards the south gate.
Tang Shi watched slowly go away, and couldn't help but shake his head.
She didn't know that Cai's trip was because of Lin Wan, but she only felt that Cai's older she was, the more eccentric her temper became.
Seeing that it was noon, but saying that he was going to leave? I didn't even eat lunch!
Fortunately, Cai's family still has Lin Wan by his side? It will never make Cai's hungry and tired.
It's just that Tang always thinks this thing is a little weird.
In the past, Cai's said that he would go to the southern suburbs to live in Zhuangzi for a few days, and Lin Wan could always persuade Cai's to wait until the house was ready before leaving.
Could it be that something happened in the southern suburbs?
The more Tang thought about it, the more he felt that there was such a possibility, so what happened to the orchard or something happened to the winery?
Tang hurriedly sent someone to find Lin Hongxuan.
Lin Hongxuan followed Lin Wenqing to Datong County because of business matters.
Although Datong County also belongs to the suburbs of Beijing? It will take more than an hour to return to the city quickly, not to mention that their uncle and nephew went in a carriage today? It's not certain if you can come back today!
At this time, the Tang family already knew that it was because of Lin Wan that the Cai family went to the southern suburbs today, and it was because Lin Wan received a letter from the southern suburbs? I added to my thoughts.
Lin Hongxuan couldn't be retrieved for a while, and the Tang family was really worried about the orchards and wineries in the southern suburbs? After thinking about it again, I still asked someone to send a message to Lin Xiuwu.
Is it really a coincidence? Lin Xiuwu, who has no job and is light, usually walks around the house to tease his great-grandson? I was looking for a few old guys to go to Pinmingxuan to drink tea, but today I was interested in going to the camp in Xishan.
When Lin Xiuwu received the news and returned to Zhennan Hou's Mansion, it was almost the end of the Shen Dynasty, even if the Tang clan was more worried, it was impossible for Lin Xiuwu to go to the southern suburbs at this hour.
Lin Xiuwu is not as flustered as the Tang family, in his eyes, Lin Wan is not the kind of person who does not succeed, even if he leaves in a hurry, he will definitely leave news in Qingyunju or Ci'an Garden, so the first thing after Lin Xiuwu returned to the house was to find people from Ci'an Yuan and Qingyunju for questioning, and sure enough, Lin Wan specially left a message before leaving, and naturally quickly figured out the cause and effect of the matter.
Knowing that Cai and Lin Wan hurriedly went to the southern suburbs because of the pest infestation of the fruit trees in the Zhuangzi, Tang was worried about the orchard and annoyed by his own concerns.
"The Ye family left Beijing and went to Shudi, even if it goes smoothly, it will take two months, why did there be an insect infestation at this time?" Tang frowned.
"Who knows when there will be an infestation? At this time, the most useless thing is panic, and Ye Qin's family made a lot of arrangements before going to Shudi. Isn't there still a personal disciple of the Ye family's family in the orchard? Besides, Sister Wan hasn't already rushed over, so don't worry about the orchard, just take care of the affairs of the house with peace of mind. I'll go to the southern suburbs early tomorrow morning. Lin Xiuwu looked at the Tang Clan, who had no six gods, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he said in a light tone.
Although the Tang family has been married into the Zhennan Hou Mansion for more than 20 years, there are not many opportunities to contact Lin Xiuwu, and they don't know much about Lin Xiuwu, but they still feel the displeasure in Lin Xiuwu's words, and quickly stand up and say yes, and no longer dare to show the slightest panic.
