Chapter 3: Collecting Rent
"I heard there's someone living in that house?"
"Yes, I heard that it is the young lady of that family, and the people in her house always go to the next town."
"I saw it yesterday and bought a bunch of weird seeds to bring back."
A few mothers-in-law gathered in front of the stone fence and pointed at the old house, "I think it's a little girl who doesn't touch the spring water with her fingers, where does she know how to farm, and she wastes good fields in vain." ”
In the past few days, the people in the town have been talking about the young woman who has entered the old mansion.
Boom Boom –
The weather in summer is really changeable, the rain droplets crackled and smashed down as he spoke, and the mother-in-law in the distance scattered in a hurry, but a carriage stopped at the gate of the small courtyard.
The air was full of earthy smells, Feng Xiaoyue was lying on the rocking chair, with a plate of melon seeds in her hand, and she was squinting at the sky.
How do you get taxes to irrigate your farmland?
"Master, someone is here." Guishan blocked his head and ran here from the door, he ran fast, splashing water all over the ground, Feng Xiaoyue was slow: "Who, so anxious?" ”
Guishan stopped next to her, panting: "Master, it's the prince of the world." ”
Feng Xiaoyue just grabbed a handful of melon seeds and dropped a few of them.
She quickly stood up, wondering in her heart why Murong Lin came, there were already a few people over there, and it was Murong Lin who was the leader.
Feng Xiaoyue only saw that the man's brocade-like black hair was pulled up by the jade crown, thick eyebrows flew obliquely, and after careful inspection, his face was clear and handsome, his posture was straight, and he was wearing a royal blue gown with a very lined temperament, and the untouchable noble vultures came out of his own.
Feng Xiaoyue had a calculation in her heart.
I don't know what he's doing here today, but she doesn't want to hit the smiling person, she doesn't feel that she needs to make too much trouble, everyone who comes is a guest.
Murong Lin came over wearing a rain curtain, and Feng Xiaoyue said to Guishan next to him with a straight face: "Why don't you know how to hold an umbrella when you see the prince in the rain?" ”
Gui Shan's mind was active, and he was about to go, and immediately heard Murong Lin's cold voice: "No need." ”
He had come to the front of the hall door, with a dark face.
Feng Xiaoyue naturally didn't know what he was angry about, but she still had to laugh: "Lord Shizi, I don't know which gust of wind blew your old man here today?" ”
"I can't come?"
He shook his collar and walked out into the hall.
Feng Xiaoyue followed behind him, a little hesitant: "Lord Shizi, this place is ...... Isn't it my mansion? ”
He turned around suddenly, Feng Xiaoyue didn't expect it, and he bumped into it suddenly, his forehead hit his chin, and he took a step back in pain.
"What do you say?" He was smiling.
Feng Xiaoyue pulled out a smile with difficulty: "The whole world is not the king's land, the prince is pertinent, this huge cloud country is your Murong family." ”
How could Murong Lin not hear the ridicule inside, and immediately snorted: "It's good to know, it's raining heavily outside, and I'm going to stay here tonight." ”
He turned around again and stepped into the main hall.
He glanced up, a little surprised in his heart, he had been to this house a few times, but he always felt a little different today.
And Feng Xiaoyue was still carefully recalling, she vaguely remembered that she had glanced at the title deed of this house, as if there was one.
"Feng Xiaoyue!"
Suddenly hearing someone shouting her name, she came back to her senses and looked at him with some confusion, looking puzzled, but Murong Lin glanced at her.
"I'm talking to you."
With an unkind face, as if she was going to be angry, Feng Xiaoyue suddenly smiled, "Lord Shizi, I suddenly remembered something. ”
"What?" His tone wasn't very good, either.
Feng Xiaoyue said to Xiao Yu next to her: "Go under my bed and get that sandalwood box." ”
Xiao Yu didn't know what her young lady was going to do, but she still did it, and she said to Rong's mother on the side: "Rong's mother, go and prepare some ginger tea, the prince is drenched in the rain, and he can't be infected with the wind and cold." ”
Murong Lin snorted.
"You may be seated." Feng Xiaoyue's etiquette is in place.
Xiao Yu ran over with a small wooden box in her hand, didn't pay attention for a while, and called out to Miss, and the old lady who accompanied Murong Lin over there said in a sharp tone: "Since you have entered the palace, that identity is the princess, and the title called in the boudoir is still used, and there is really no half-point rule." ”
Every word was full of dissatisfaction with Feng Xiaoyue.
Xiao Yu was silent and came over cautiously.
Feng Xiaoyue winked at her, signaling her not to take it to heart, and she didn't bother to pay attention to the words of the grandmother, and opened the box.
A dull yellow piece of paper fell into the eye.
Fortunately, Feng Xiaoyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said that she was not mistaken, Murong Lin, the villain, actually wanted to get by.
"What is this?" Murong Lin didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.
She took out the piece of paper, shook it, and spread it out on the table: "In black and white, I'm afraid that the prince is mistaken, although the whole world is not the king's land, but the emperor is sympathetic to us little people, and this paper title deed is a favor for us." ”
"Lord Shizi." Feng Xiaoyue bowed slightly towards Murong Lin, although she didn't like him, but in terms of identity, the etiquette should not be lost.
Afterwards, Feng Xiaoyue said to Murong Lin's entourage in the hall: "The title deed of this house is mine in my hands, and my little woman is not as good as the gold and silver of the Li Wangfu, so I have to follow my rules in this mansion." ”
Murong Lin raised his eyes, and his eyes were deep.
He didn't speak, staring at her with a pair of beautiful eyes, but Feng Xiaoyue was obviously not suppressed by this momentum, and said to herself: "Lord, since you want to stay overnight, then the accommodation fee is not less." ”
She took such a long detour just to collect accommodation fees?
The corners of Murong Lin's mouth twitched.
Murong Lin's expression was indifferent, sitting on the carved wooden chair with arrogance, and said lightly: "I'm just here to check the accounts today, and I won't live for long." ”
Don't want to pay for this? Feng Xiaoyue doesn't follow, "Whether it's one day or two days, if you live, you can live for as long as you want." ”
Feng Xiaoyue's indifference was against Murong Lin's hair, and he said in an unhappy tone: "Presumptuous!"
"So what?"
The two looked at each other, invisible gunsmoke, electric light.
Murong Lin had never seen such an ignorant woman, so he waved his long sleeves, got up and said, "Don't live it, Anjing, arrange to return home overnight." ”
An Jing on the side said hesitantly: "Shizi, it has just rained heavily, this mountain road is dangerous, we may not be able to travel overnight......"
Murong Lin pushed open the window, and the majestic rain hit a courtyard of begonias, and the raindrops like beans fell on the stone steps and roared.
Feng Xiaoyue raised her eyebrows, and said with a mocking tone: "What, the prince wants to go out in the rain?" ”
The fingertips clenched into fists turned slightly white, Murong Lin looked at Feng Xiaoyue with a smug smile, and a wave of anger surged in his heart, but the fire was quickly extinguished by this rain.
"Anjing, give her money!"
With that, he turned around and walked away.
An Jing on the side didn't dare to gasp in shock, it was the first time he was angry when he saw the always calm and calm prince, and he was still touched by a woman. After that, An Jing took out the silver ticket from his arms in a panic and handed it to Xiao Yu, and then caught up with Murong Lin's steps.
"Then thank you Shizi," Feng Xiaoyue, who took the money, was much more comfortable, in the past, they suppressed themselves everywhere, but now it should be another day.
