Chapter 144 Internal Response
Nan'an County is one word different from Nanlin County, but their environment is very different. Nan'an County is relatively prosperous, with ports and national highways, coupled with the support of the imperial court, it can be regarded as a second-tier city in this city.
Nanlin County, where Lu Bing is located, is one road away from Nan'an County, but they are in different directions of development. Nan'an County is mainly trade-oriented, and has set up north and south ports to welcome visitors from the north and south. The terrain of Nanlin is more complex and surrounded by mountains, and Lu Bing's flower fields occupy the best position, with fertile soil and abundant sunlight.
Ji Xiang saw the ridge not far away sprinkled with golden light, the clouds floating on the side, and the blue sky washed away the tired eyes.
"Xiang'er, let's go." The coachman had already turned around, and when they arrived at the entrance of Dawan Village, Nanlin County, there were several children playing with stones, tattered clothes, and unblewed snot hanging on their lips, and their black paws were wiped on their faces, and there were soon two more paw prints on their faces.
They looked at Ji Xiang and Chen Jie'an, two strangers, muttering as if they were saying something. Ji Xiang withdrew her eyes, she came to find Lu Bing.
"Xianggong, don't you think those children have been watching us?" Ji Xiang walked a few steps, feeling very uncomfortable behind her, she glanced back in the gap between her words, and the children were still looking towards them.
Do you want candy?
The man's broad hand shook Ji Xiang, "Don't think about it." As soon as the words fell, a doll the size of a small turnip ran over, and he glanced at the two of them a few times, and soon ran away like a gust of wind.
The kid ...... Dirty, his face was mostly covered by messy hair, and he ran up, revealing two dark eyes. It was that look that made Ji Xiang very familiar.
"Don't run, Lu Sanding, little rabbit, you wait for me." After the child ran over, a burly man ran out with a hoe. Seeing this, the children in the back laughed.
"What are you laughing at, when that kid from Lu Sanding comes back, let him hurry to me. This bastard boy didn't let him go to school, and actually worked as a small worker in a restaurant in the county. Idiot, ignorant of progress. "It turned out that it was Lu Bing, Ji Xiang looked at it, it was a little similar to the Lu family, and his eyebrows and eyes were really in the same mold.
She re-grasped Chen Jie's saddle, and the man bowed his head in pain. The little daughter-in-law raised her eyes and looked into his eyes, it was not the first time to see Ji Xiang so closely, but the rabbit in his chest began to jump up and down. The woman's lips opened slightly, shattering the beautiful illusion in his mind. "Xianggong, what is the relationship between this Lu Bing and the child just now, could it be that he is his own son?"
Chen Xie An shook his head, Lu Sanding is the only son of a family in Dawan Village. His mother gave birth to him and died in childbirth, Lu Sanding's father never married a wife and took care of the children to grow up, but he got sick a few years ago and left early. Lu Bing felt sorry for this child, so he took him home and took care of him carefully.
"Lu Bing doesn't have a wife of his own?" Ji Xiang admires this man, after all, few people are old and old, young and young.
Looking at Lu Bing's anxious appearance, he was really worried about Lu Sanding's future.
"He never had a wife." Lu Bing should have passed the year of establishment, his family has a house and a field, and if he is someone else, he must want to have a daughter-in-law and children, so why did Lu Bing never marry a wife.
The fire of gossip was burning, and Ji Xiang still wanted to discuss it with Chen Jiean. The burly man frowned like a mountain, and the hoe waved his tricks, he knew Chen Jie'an, and his sister told him that this man was the woman who killed his nephew.
"Why are you again, we don't welcome you." Lu Bing's voice was as loud as a bell, and his words were deafening. Ji Xiang held back the buzzing in his ears and glanced at the calm Chen Jie'an.
The man over there was carrying a hoe, and the children in the back didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement. actually went to the village to call someone, and a little kid ran in the direction of Lu Sanding, and shouted that Sanding was coming back, your Third Uncle Lu was going to be beaten.
Lu Bing's figure, if he were an ordinary person, he could completely defeat two Ji Xiang with one punch. How could he be beaten, that kid simply lost rumors.
"Sure enough, it's you." Lu Bing looked at Chen Xie An, and then at Ji Xiang. "I have already said that my flowers will never be sold to a murderer. Don't think you can do whatever you want with a little money...... Wait, seeing that you are so intimate, I think you are killing the rich and noble Ji Xiang. ”
"Yes, I'm Ji Xiang." Ji Xiang generously admitted, "This is my father-in-law Chen Jiean, looking at your appearance, my uncle should already know him." Your sister is my eldest aunt, so I will also call you Lu Bo. Luber, we are here to do business with you. My Jade Dragon Workshop needs to make rouge materials, and it should be the most suitable to do business with you. ”
"Don't talk about that, I don't want to talk about business with murderers."
Ji Xiang saw that someone was already coming not far away, and she realized that it was very inconvenient to talk about things here, so she restrained her smile and spoke faster. "Luber, I think you misunderstood me. I'm not a murderer, and I haven't done anything harmful, so I have a clear conscience. It was Ji Fugui who kidnapped me and my family to ask for money, but fortunately, he arrived in time to be fine. I just want him to do things by himself, and if he is wrong, he will pay the price. ”
It turned out that this was the case, and Lu Bing also went around to inquire after hearing what the Lu family said about Ji Fugui. It is true that many of them are the same as what Ji Xiang said, but he still won't agree.
has not met the Lu family for more than ten years, and Lu Bing and Ji Fugui do not have much family affection. If it weren't for his sister crying and begging him not to sell flowers to Ji Xiang's family, he wouldn't have pushed the business out. glanced at the two of them, and remembered Sanding's high monthly payment.
My sister begged him like this, he really didn't want to chill her and the heart that had died and was rich. Money can be made at any time, but the relationship with my sister is not repaired at any time.
"You hurry up, even if you didn't kill Fugui, then you killed him indirectly. I won't say yes. Lu Bing turned his head, unwilling to talk nonsense with Chen Jiean.
What can I do about this, Ji Xiang can see that Lu Bing is not willing to accept this business because of Ji Fugui at all, but he wants to reconcile with the Lu family.
This is difficult, for subjective reasons, there is a possibility of failure in what she does.
"Xiang'er, he's gone away."
In the gap when Ji Xiang was in a daze, Lu Bing had already walked away. He stopped the villagers who came to see the excitement, and just said to the stranger who asked for directions. Receiving a few surprised and curious looks, she bit her lip.
"Xianggong, prepare for the arduous battle, the old lady can't believe that she can't eat Lu Bing's cow!"
Chen Xie looked at his daughter-in-law dotingly and nodded slowly. Xiang'er usually looks unreliable, but when she does serious things, she is very persevering and patient.
"Hey, what are you looking for my third uncle for?"
Lu Sanding came back, and he didn't run far. As soon as he came back, he poked the back of Ji Xiang's hand, and scared the woman who was swearing into Chen Jiean's arms.
The man squatted and hugged him, the woman was petite on her chest, covering her face and looking out carefully, and when she saw this bastard boy, she blushed and stammered, "You...... How did you get here...... time, not ...... There was no movement. ”
"I have it, but you just said that you want to eat my third uncle's big cow." Lu Sanding pointed to Chen Jie'an, who had Ji Xiang hanging on his body, "And he just saw me, he knows." ”
After a quick glance at Chen Jiean, Ji Xiang snorted and jumped down pretending to be chic. Ahem, she straightened her hair and clothes, and then looked at Lu Sanding.
The child looks dirty, but in fact, the neck is clean, and Lu Bing takes care of it quite well. "I'm from another village, looking for your father to do business. However, your dad disagrees. ”
"Why?" Lu Sanding opened his mouth widely, "In addition, to correct him, he is my third uncle." The third uncle has been worried about no one buying flowers to make rouge recently, so why is the door-to-door business still being pushed away. ”
Lu Bing's business has been good in recent years, so this year's field has bought more than a dozen acres and planted all kinds of flowers. The flowering period is long and there are many flowers, but there are only so many rouge makers, so naturally they can't eat Lu Bing's goods. There are even people who want to buy his flowers at a low price, and they lose more than 100 taels when they go back and forth.
"It's because of his sister, and I have a feud with his sister, so he doesn't agree." Ji Xiang said honestly, she could see that this child was precocious, and he looked about the same age as Ji Ming, but he knew sensibly to help Lu Bing relieve pressure. He didn't go to school because he was afraid of spending Lu Bing's money.
"Oh, it's that aunt. Cut, what kind of sister is it, I haven't looked for my third uncle for so many years, and I will borrow money as soon as I find it. My third uncle didn't even ask for a daughter-in-law, she didn't know that she was distressed, phew, the weasel of the family. ”
It turned out that the Lu family came with the Sun family, when he married the Lu family, Lu Bing did not take anything to marry, and the Sun family saw that he was doing well now, so he became ill-intentioned, and asked for a lot of money and things, saying that he wanted to make up for the year. The Lu family didn't know what to think, not only did not dissuade him, but also told his brother that he had suffered over the years, and if they could give more dowry back then, it wouldn't be like this.
Unexpectedly, the gentle aunt in my memory was actually such a person.
Alas, the relatives of the original owner are really superb.
Knowing that the Lu family was Ji Xiang's enemy, Lu Sanding decided to help facilitate the business. He didn't want Lu Bing to be coaxed by the Lu family and give all the money.
With such a small thing to meet the inside and outside, Ji Xiang's confidence has increased by three points.
"Xianggong, let's go find someone to spend the night for a few days first, we can't go back now, otherwise my mother will definitely ......" Ji Xiang made a neat gesture on his neck, which made Chen Xie An laugh heartily.
She was a little fascinated by it, "Xianggong, you smile a lot, it's so good-looking." ”
Like a marshmallow, sweet.
Ji Xiang covered his heart, as if his eyes had turned into a red heart.
"Okay."
She took the initiative to hold Chen Jiean's arm, looked away, and Zhang Baofu came out untimely. [Host, we're in trouble.] ]
