Chapter 880: The City Lord's Wife's Family History
Those who come from the capital can suppress the city lord's mansion, at least they are an official above the fourth grade.
And the Beijing officials are more powerful than the local officials, and now the Beijing officials who should have been in the capital have appeared in a place like Wushuang City, and they must have been ordered by the emperor to pay a private visit or something like that, so I am afraid that there are other official positions on the body, and it is even more difficult to provoke.
The city lord's wife rolled her eyes twice, and immediately laughed enthusiastically: "Look at me, I'm confused!" This lady's lord went to work with our lord? ”
"Hmm." Mu Ling nodded, and then added, "It's a more serious matter." ”
"The old man has indeed worked harder, and since he is a guest at home, I have to go and order the kitchen to prepare more dishes, and entertain the lady in the evening. If the lady loves fruits, she will pick some in this garden at will, and we three children also love to come here on weekdays, so ask her to introduce you well. ”
As she spoke, the city lord's wife gave the third lady a look, and bumped the third miss with her elbow without a trace.
The meaning of this stammering is also too obvious.
The housekeeper on the side looked embarrassed, but he couldn't say anything.
In Mu Ling's opinion, the city lord's mansion is a little unclear, and the city lord's wife and her children are a little confused, and the others are all like mirrors.
But these have little to do with her, nodded slightly, and waited for the others to leave, then took Yang Shuyuan's hand and smiled: "I don't know what fruits are ripe, and I ask Yuan'er to be a guide." ”
"My mother told me to take you, so you can come with me!" The third young lady on the side glanced at her arrogantly, then turned around and walked to the side.
was robbed of her job, Yang Shuyuan's face was not good-looking, but she didn't say anything.
Mu Ling raised his eyes, a sneer on the corner of his lips, and pulled Yang Shuyuan to the other side, ignoring the third lady of Lao Shizi.
When I walked far, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Smelling the aroma of fruit between breaths, Mu Ling couldn't help but take a deep breath, and said with some enjoyment: "It's the aroma of mangoes, is there a mango orchard in front?" ”
"Hmm." Yang Shuyuan responded softly, "This mango is big, it is a tree species that my father got back from outside, and it has been cultivated for seven or eight years, and the fruits have only grown in the past two years. ”
Big size!
Mu Ling's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he couldn't wait to go inside.
Each of the different orchards is separated by a courtyard wall, which is also to prevent the fringe trees from being pollinated by nature and affecting the fruit, and to distinguish between the different orchards.
When I entered the archway, I saw a mango tree, and the mangoes on it were the size of an adult's palm, and the ripe mangoes were already golden yellow.
"It's a golden man!" Mu Ling's eyes became brighter and brighter.
Most of the mangoes here are ordinary small mangoes, although the taste is also good, but in the end she still prefers golden mangoes, after all, the flesh is more, the size is also large, and the taste is also very good.
"Golden Mang? It's a good name, we've always called this big mango. Yang Shuyuan said a little shyly.
"Puff-" Mu Ling felt amused by such a straightforward name, and couldn't help patting her shoulder, "Then it will be called Golden Mango in the future, the big mango is too straightforward." ”
Yang Shuyuan nodded, the name of Golden Mang is auspicious, and I want to like my father too.
Mu Ling shuttled through the mango trees, picked up the golden ones that had matured and picked five or six of them, but he still looked at these mango trees with covetousness: "When I leave, I will pick some green ones and transport them back, and the children will definitely like them." ”
Turning his head to see Yang Shuyuan, Mu Ling suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Ah, yes! If you have goat's milk or watermelon juice, you can boil a lotus seed mango sago dew, which is also extremely refreshing! ”
Its practical coconut water is the best, but it is estimated that there is no coconut to be found here.
"What's that?" Hearing the novelty, Yang Shuyuan was a little confused.
Mu Ling smiled and walked outside with her: "It's a dessert, if you have the opportunity to go to the capital next time, I will invite you to eat dessert." I opened a dessert shop in the capital, which sells these things, as well as many novel pastries, and I will definitely try them if I have the chance. ”
"Sister Ling is really from the capital?"
"Naturally, can this be faked? Now that the canal has not yet opened, my husband and I have got a big boat to experience it first, and if it looks good, the canal can be officially put into use. Mu Ling said with a smile, "When the time comes, it will only take fifteen days to walk from here to the capital, and you can go to the capital to have fun if you have time." ”
"If I have the chance, I will definitely go!" Yang Shuyuan smiled shyly, then thought of something and came to Mu Ling's side, and said quietly and cautiously: "Sister Ling is paying attention to some mothers, although it is not good to talk about her mother-in-law behind her back, but this is also a fact." ”
"Oh?"
Mu Ling tilted his head slightly, with an expression of willingness to hear it.
Yang Shuyuan took a deep breath and continued with determination: "Mother is from the Wang family, the richest man in this Peerless City, and she is the most powerful. Sister Fang Cailing said that she was from the capital, and her mother would definitely ask the Wang family to inquire about the situation in the capital. The Wang family's business has become bigger and bigger in recent years, and I am afraid that they will have to pester Sister Ling's husband to fight for the name of the imperial businessman. ”
Imperial merchants? It turned out to be the idea of hitting.
Mu Ling raised his eyebrows: "The imperial merchant is not so easy to be. ”
In general, a person like Wei Li, who is looked down upon by Liang Chu, has no family background that is rich and rivals the country, so he can also be an imperial businessman.
But Liang Chu doesn't like it, what if it's rich and rivals the country? was slapped by a big hand like Liang Chu, who covered the sky with one hand, and he was going to die completely.
Mu Ling didn't take this to heart, but just thanked Yang Shuyuan for her kindness and told her not to worry.
After that, I went to other orchards to pick some fruits, and in general I returned with a full load, and Mu Ling said that he was very satisfied.
And Liang Chu on the mountain was not very satisfied.
There were a few secret guards on the top of the mountain to keep an eye on, just to prevent the person who threw the corpse from detecting it and coming to destroy the corpse in advance.
Facts have proved that judging from the fact that he and Mu Ling met those thugs halfway down the mountain, his fears were correct.
If it weren't for the fact that he had guards by his side, he was afraid that the thugs would have dealt with them, or thrown them into the pit of corpses, if they were moved elsewhere along with the corpses in the pit.
When Liang Chu and the city lord led people to the top of the mountain, they saw a few more corpses on the top of the mountain.
Two secret guards appeared: "Master, it was sent by the person who threw the corpse, a total of five people, and we killed them all." There was nothing iconic on his body, and he looked like a dead soldier who had been raised. ”
