Hearing Xiao Jingchen's question, Lin Ruan was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand and pointed in a certain direction of the mountain forest: "Does Xiao Ye want to go and see?" ”

After her courtyard was burned, the big tiger and the little tiger returned to the mountains, and they must still be in the valley at this time. If they had to go, she had to find a way to tell them to avoid it.

Who knew that Xiao Jingchen's footsteps did not stop, and kept walking in the direction of the mountain, saying as he walked: "Those peaches you gave to the Queen Mother are very good, if there are any fresh or rare fruits in the future, you can pick some and send them to the contact point, and they will send them to Kyoto." ”

Lin Ruan hurriedly responded.

After a short time, they reached the foot of the mountain, Xiao Jingchen and Liang Twelve did not continue to walk towards Funiu Mountain, but wanted to go in the other direction, Lin Ruan guessed, it should be the path they avoided the people of Linjia Village and entered the mountain.

Lin Ruan didn't ask anything, but said to Xiao Jingchen before parting: "Master Xiao, what you just said on the top of the mountain, maybe I have a way to solve it for you." ”

Xiao Jingchen raised his eyes to look at her: "What way?" ”

Lin Ruan said: "I know an artifact through which I can see everything in the distance, but I don't have the materials to make this thing on hand. ”

When Xiao Jingchen heard this, he immediately said, "What materials do you need?" ”

Lin Ruan pursed his lips: "I need a few white crystal stones with an area of at least the size of a palm, and I also need a master who is good at polishing jade." ”

"No problem."

Xiao Jingchen immediately responded, "Two days later, the things and people you want will be sent to Yulin County together." If you need anything, you can go directly to the contact point. ”

Lin Ruan nodded in response, and then watched the two leave.

After the two left, Lin Ruan crossed Funiu Mountain and walked towards the village.

At this time, it is time to be busy with farming, and the fields are full of villagers carrying hoes to hoe grass in the wheat fields or sow other crops.

As soon as many people saw Lin Ruan, they buried their heads low, and they were embarrassed to say hello to Lin Ruan.

But a few young men, when they saw her, came up to greet her very warmly, the eldest girl long, the eldest girl called her short.

These people were all people who used to work in Lin Ruan's shop and were later called away by their families.

Lin Ruan's attitude is very cold and detached, she has never been an enthusiastic person, and she has little affection for the people of Linjia Village, she would agree to let these people work in the store, but it was just because of Shen Wushan and made a compromise to sell the patriarch a face.

Those people want to leave, she doesn't have any upset, everyone has the right to choose to stay, this right is only once, choose, don't say regret. She and these people are at most a combination of money and goods, and they don't mix a little human factor, so she is not angry, and she doesn't even feel unhappy.

When those young men saw Lin Ruan like this, their expressions were also a little sneering. They originally wanted to say good things to Lin Ruan and see if they could go back to the store, but seeing Lin Ruan like this, they also knew that it was completely impossible.

In fact, many of them don't want to leave Xunweiji, although the work there is a little tired, but the salary is high, and one year of work can almost cover the salary of other stores for two years.

However, their family did not let them continue to do it, fearing that they would be in danger, so they had to let them go home, and they did not even discuss it.

They were frustrated and wanted to go back, but they knew they couldn't.

After being a buddy in Lin Ruan's shop for nearly two months, they can be regarded as seeing Lin Ruan's style of saying the same, it is the people of their family who go back on their word, who can they blame.

To tell the truth, if they encounter this kind of person who is beneficial, rushing to curry favor one by one, and running faster than anyone else when they encounter difficulties, they are afraid that they will never want to have anything to do with this person for the rest of their lives.

So they could understand Lin Ruan's approach, but they didn't hold a grudge or anything, but they had some complaints about the elders in the family.

In itself, they can live a good life with Lin Ruan. But now, there's nothing.

They are now extremely envious of the dozen or so people who stayed in the store, and I heard that Lin Ruan gave them a salary increase and new clothes.

If they hadn't left, now they're also the ones to be envied.

However, it was too late to say anything.

Lin Ruan didn't care what those people thought in their hearts, when he returned to the village, it was already a little late. Declined Aunt Zhou's kindness to stay for dinner, Lin Ruan took Xiuxiu and Liu Ya back to the county.

When they arrived in the county, Lin Tiezhu and his party were eating, and when they saw Lin Ruan coming back, they all got up and greeted her.

After Lin Ruan greeted them, he said to Lin Tiezhu: "After eating, go to the main room in the back, I have something to tell you." ”

"Yes, Master."

Lin Ruan and the others hadn't eaten yet, so Liu Ya hurriedly went to tell her mother-in-law to get some food and send it over.

Before the food was served, Lin Tiezhu had already come over, "Master, is there anything I need to do?" ”

Lin Ruan pointed to the chair next to him and asked him to sit down, and when he was seated, she asked, "How old are you this year?" ”

Lin Tiezhu said puzzledly: "It will be seventeen in two months, Master, don't you know?" Why do you still ask? ”

Lin Ruan took a sip of tea from the teacup and smiled: "Seventeen, it's time to start a family." ”

Lin Tiezhu's face turned red suddenly, and he was a little embarrassed, "Master, why did you suddenly talk about this?" ”

Lin Ruan smiled and said, "What? Is it hard to say that you are a teacher? ”

"Not really." Lin Tiezhu scratched his head, "Mainly aside from seniority, you are not as old as me, you are embarrassed to ask me this so seriously." ”

Lin Ruan glared at him with a smile: "I'm your master, isn't it normal to care about your life's affairs?" Tell me, do you have any ideas? ”

According to Lin Ruan, seventeen years old is only the age of a high school student in his previous life, and it is a bit too early to talk about marriage with such an older child. However, this is ancient times, and there are really not many people who have not decided on a marriage at the age of seventeen. Most people, as soon as their fifteenth birthday is over, the family begins to talk about marriage.

Lin Ruan is still a person who follows the local customs, and he got married at the age of seventeen and got married at the age of eighteen or nineteen, which is very good, and it is not too early.

Lin Tiezhu scratched his head again: "Master, did my mother come to you about this?" My mother is really, I told her before, I have my own plans for marriage, why did she talk to you about this? ”

Lin Ruan shook his head: "Not really, what's the matter, do you have a girl you want to marry?" ”

Lin Tiezhu shook his head like a rattle, "Then where can I be, I just think that my family is poor now, and if I talk about marriage at this time, I will wronged other girls." So I thought that I would first learn some skills from the master, earn some silver, and wait for the family conditions to be good, and then it would not be too late to talk about marriage. ”

Lin Ruan agreed with his plan: "Yes, you can think like this, it's good, it's a responsible person." However, you are indeed not small now, you can look at each other first, settle down if there is a suitable one, and wait for two years to get married. ”
