Chapter 176: The Friendship of the Landlord

Lin Qian didn't have Xuan Li's thoughts, who in their group didn't have some blood on their hands, and what if they were covered in blood?

Mu Luan handed the horse to Xuan Li, helped him up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hard work!" ”

Xuan Li was not disgusted with Mu Luan at this time, and seemed to admit his identity.

Mu Luan and Lin Qian rode a horse together, left the town overnight, and arrived at the house at sunset in the afternoon of the next day.

Lin Qian calculated that she hadn't come back for half a month, looked up at the gate that had not yet been listed, pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "It's been a long time." ”

With Xuan Li pushing open the door, full of nostalgia, he reached out and stroked the corrected white wall, through the door frame, and the scene was still the same as before.

Two osmanthus trees that have just grown a few leaves and give birth to a little osmanthus around the leaves, and two one-person-tall, yellow-green ginkgo biloba.

Xuan Li was puzzled, "The Young Valley Lord used to live in this place?" ”

"You've already left the Wisteria Valley, don't call me the young valley master, you will be jealous, you can call me girl, miss, or lady." Lin Qian stretched out her hand to pick up a fallen ginkgo biloba leaf and said, "Since you have already left the Wisteria Valley, you also have to follow the customs, understand?" ”

Xuan Li lowered his eyes and bowed his head, which was considered to be a promise.

Lin Qian looked at him as if she was very uncomfortable, and found the guest room according to her memory, and said, "You live in this room for the time being, if you get along well with other brothers, you can consider living with them." ”

Xuan Li said, "Let the ...... less Miss bothered. ”

Although Xuan Li was two years older than her now, based on her actual age, she could be his sister, so she really touched his head like a sister and said, "That's good!" ”

Although Xuan Li gave her face, she bent over without a trace, so that she would not have to work so hard.

Lin Qian walked into the kitchen, looked like it had been useless for a long time, and said, "Xuan Li, do you have any favorite food, let's go grocery shopping!" ”

"How can Miss ...... such a thing as buying vegetables" Xuan Li thought that she had gone into the kitchen to get food, but contrary to him, he had a feeling that his faith had collapsed.

Lin Qian had already stepped on the vegetable basket and was ready to go out.

Mu Luan led the horse to the backyard and walked slowly towards Lin Qian, "You don't plan to rest just now?" ”

Lin Qian chuckled, "Oh, I'm fine, a few more members of our family always have to do their best to be landlords." I'll go grocery shopping and you clean the kitchen. ”

The two looked at each other sweetly and smiled, Mu Luan gave another piece of silver, and went in two directions.

The meaning of Xuanli's existence is to protect Lin Qian, snatch the vegetable basket she was carrying, and carry it herself.

Lin Qian took the silver and looked for a place to sell vegetables.

Xuan Li was on guard at any time, Lin Qian patted his arm and said, "Don't worry, although this alley is a little deeper, it won't be dangerous, don't worry." ”

Lin Qian walked into a house and said, "Auntie, do you still have fresh vegetables today?" ”

The woman was hoeing the ground, looked back, and said, "Eh, Mrs. Mu, I haven't been here for a long time, what kind of vegetables do you want, I'll pick them in the vegetable field for you?" ”

Lin Qian took the vegetable basket from Xuan Li's hand and greeted him, "I went to another place." In this way, give me whatever you have, and fill the basket. ”

The woman took the basket and said with a smile, "Oh, Mrs. Mu, you are in a hurry today, there is a fresh pumpkin in the garden to pick, you wait, I will pick it for you." ”

"Miss often comes here to buy groceries?"

"She is a poor person, her husband died early, leaving her not only a son, but also a mother-in-law who has been paralyzed for many years.

There was still a time when someone was buying groceries and someone opened their orphans and widows' stalls and asked them to pay protection money, so I helped them, so our vegetables are all bought here.

What's more, their vegetables are all grown by herself, and she can provide me with them whenever I come, so why not? ”

Lin Qian patiently explained, looking at the woman's wet back and couldn't help but be moved.

"Sister Lin!" He was a ten-year-old boy dressed as a student and carrying a patched backpack on his shoulder.

Lin Qian turned her head to look at the little boy standing at the door and said, "Xiaolu, I'm back." ”

Xuan Li inexplicably felt that he looked out of place here, and silently took two steps back.

The young man stepped forward, grabbed the strap of the Dao backpack with both hands, and said a little shyly, "Sister Lin, long time no see." ”

Lin Qian touched his head and said, "Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time, Xiaolu has grown taller again, and I'm about to catch up with my sister." ”

The young man scratched his head a little embarrassed, and said, "By the way, Sister Lin, I have finished reading all the books I borrowed from Brother Mu last time, can I go into the house to pick it up and go with you, I still don't understand something I want to ask Brother Mu, is it okay?" ”

Lin Qian nodded and patted his head lightly.

The woman held a green pumpkin in one hand and a basket of freshly harvested vegetables in the other, and said, "Mrs. Mu, see if it's enough, if it's not enough, I'll pick it for you." ”

Lin Qian first took the pumpkin and then the vegetable basket and handed it to Xuan Li, took ten taels of silver, and said, "Enough is enough, come and take it!" ”

The woman was a little ashamed to take a tael of silver, and wanted to return it to her, "Mrs. Mu, is there any broken silver, you give me ten taels of silver, I can't find it here." ”

Lin Qian pulled the purse and said, "Auntie, you can take it, I have to come tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you go buy a piece of cloth for Xiaolu to get a new backpack." ”

The woman thanked her and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Mu." ”

Xiao Lu took a few well-preserved books and came out and said, "Mother, I'll return the books and come back immediately!" ”

Lin Qian stretched out her hand towards the path, took him to the pork stall to buy a large piece of meat, and bought two strings of sugar gourds on the road with him, Xuan Li didn't like sweet.

After returning home, Lin Qian let go of the small road and said, "You go to the door of the study first and wait, and I will call you Brother Mu." ”

Lin Qian took Xuan Li to the kitchen, there was less firewood piled up at the door, and Mu Luan in the house almost washed all the dishes that were going to be used.

"Mu Luan, Xiaolu is here to return the book, you hurry up, Aunt Lu is still waiting for him to go back!"

Mu Luan wiped the last bowl clean, dried his hands and said, "Okay, I'll come back to help you later." ”

Before leaving, he deliberately bit a sugar gourd on Lin Qian's hand.

Lin Qian bit off the last sugar gourd, threw the skewer under the stove, rolled up her sleeves and washed the meat and vegetables in the vegetable basket.

Xuan Li saw that the young valley lord of Wisteria Valley, who should be high, actually did the thing of a maid without any ambiguity, and was very skilled, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Miss, I'll come." ”

Lin Qian looked at him suspiciously and said, "Do you know how to wash?" ”

"That can't let the young lady do it."

Lin Qian sighed, like an elder, and said earnestly, "Xuan Li, if you have great achievements in the future, I suggest that you marry a girl who can go up to the hall and go down to the kitchen, otherwise you will only go hungry for your armor." ”
