After three or four days, the sky was still bright, and Mrs. Lin ordered people to set up a car early in the morning, and people were ready to go to the countryside with luggage, but Lin's cages were too many, seven or eight wooden boxes of large and small, plus two boxes of small toys and a box of change of clothes from Brother Bai, which was enough to load five carriages.

People who don't know think that something happened to the Gu family, and Mrs. Lin took her grandchildren out to take refuge. Those miscellaneous boxes also included gifts prepared by the Lin family for the newlyweds, as well as souvenirs for the second room Feng Lao'an and Mrs. Cai Chengjiang.

At that time, Lin was sick, and she was still a widowed woman, so it was not suitable to appear on such a happy occasion, so she ordered Mama Liang to prepare a congratulatory gift and send it to the countryside in person. Sent to the countryside by Mama Liang herself, you can imagine how precious this congratulatory gift is.

Mrs. Lin has not had much sleep at night since she was old, and when the sky was still bright, she was wearing a white-gray coat, sitting on a bamboo wooden chair in the hall, and the personal maid Chunhan who was waiting on the side was beating her legs. "Did you send someone to call the third girl? Are the three girls awake?"

Chun Han didn't look up, continued to lower his head and beat Mrs. Lin's legs, and replied seriously: "The third girl has woken up, and Mama Liang has already sent someone to invite the third girl over."

At this time, Ming Lan, who was serving in the small kitchen, walked in with a smile on her face, walked to the old lady's side, and said with concern: "The old lady got up so early, and she will have to make a carriage for four or five hours to get to her hometown, and when she arrives at her hometown, she can only go to dinner. The dried radish and tempeh are made by the people of the village themselves, and the taste is very refreshing. ”

"I like to eat dried radish and tempeh made in your village, but unfortunately I haven't tasted it a few times every time, and I was stolen by that bastard boy from Bai Ge'er. That bastard boy doesn't like anything else to eat, so he is greedy for this mouthful of dried radish. When Lin spoke, Minglan had already ordered someone to bring up millet porridge and dried beans and radish together.

As soon as Lin saw the dried radish, she was overjoyed, and before Minglan could give her a dish, she had already sandwiched a piece of it and put it in her mouth.

The dried radish was very crisp and spicy, and after Lin ate a piece, a thin layer of sweat was already oozing from the bridge of his nose. Although she can't eat spicy, she still needs to eat millet porridge with some pickles to be refreshing.

"The dried radishes in your village are still as spicy as ever, Brother Bai likes to eat spicy, no wonder he comes to eat them secretly every day." Lin said with a smile.

"If Brother Bai really likes to eat dried radish, I will write to my mother and ask her to make more and send it over next time she comes to deliver dried radish." Minglan was talking while serving the Lin family's dishes. "Old lady, try this tempeh, this is Lu Liang's local specialty."

"Don't eat it, don't eat it, not long ago, Sifang asked someone to send me a can of tempeh from Shiping, I ate tempeh for half a month, I'm tired of eating, and now I'm afraid when I see tempeh."

As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Lin looked at Chunhan, "Chunhan, go and invite the third girl over!" She just woke up, and she didn't have breakfast yet, so let her come to me to eat! Lin put down the chopsticks in his hand and gently wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

Chunhan got Lin's orders, and invited Gu Yutang over after a while. At this time, the Lin family had already prepared new dishes and chopsticks, and personally served porridge to Gu Yutang, who was sitting opposite, "This millet porridge is millet shipped from Java, and dried radish is a specialty of Minglan's hometown, can you taste it and see if it suits your appetite?"

Gu Yutang looked flattered, and almost didn't catch the millet porridge handed to her by the Lin family, if she fell, she was afraid that it would make the Lin family angry, so she still caught it steadily.

After using a few mouthfuls of millet porridge and dried radish, Gu Yutang felt that the dried radish was very delicious, and put a few pieces in his bowl, and then finished eating the millet porridge in the bowl in one go.

Although Gu Yutang still wanted to eat another bowl in her heart, but the Lin family didn't allow her to eat again, and she would have to make a carriage for four or five hours later, if she ate too much and the road was bumpy, the things that had just entered might all be spit out, if it was spit on the road, it would be fine, if it was spit on the car, it would be really difficult to clean up.

Seeing that Gu Yutang can eat white porridge with relish, Mrs. Lin suddenly smiled, this child is a likable person, if she had been raised by her side since she was a child, and she was carefully taught by herself, she would not have inherited her mother's stubborn temper, maybe she would be more slim, maybe she would like her more than she liked Bai Ge'er.

Just when Gu Yutang put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, Mrs. Zhang on the second door suddenly panicked into the courtyard, walked to Chunhan's side and muttered a few words, and then quickly retreated.

She is the mother-in-law in charge of guarding the second gate, and something important must have happened, otherwise she would never have set foot in the inner courtyard in person.

Lin looked at Chun Han, who was also acting panicked now, and asked, "Chun Han, is something wrong?"

Although she was present in front of outsiders, in her opinion, Gu Yutang was still an ignorant little child of seven or eight years old, and she didn't understand anything, so she didn't have any taboos, and directly relayed the original words that Mrs. Zhang said to her just now to Mrs. Lin, "Old lady, there have been thieves in Chengjiang Mansion recently, and a Ruyi Golden Buddha in the house of Lord Wu of the prefect has been stolen, and now Lord Wu is searching the streets for the whereabouts of the Golden Buddha with his fast catching team, I heard that the city gate will be closed in the afternoon, please leave the city as soon as possible, so as not to delay your trip." ”

"It's just a golden Buddha, if you lose it, you lose it, Lord Wu is a four-grade prefect, and he can't get along with a little thief, and now everyone knows it, I really don't know what Lord Wu thinks." Gu Yutang whispered in his mouth while helping Minglan clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

Old Mrs. Lin smiled, although she felt that Gu Yutang was unscrupulous, but her words were to the point. Wu Youyi is a four-grade prefect, as the saying goes, three years of Qing prefect, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, just a golden Buddha was stolen, he personally took a pair of people to search door to door, and posted notices, and blocked the city gate, which inevitably makes people feel that there is a bit of a fuss, not to mention that he has been a parent official for so many years, if he says that he is not greedy for ink, he is afraid that the entire Chengjiang Mansion will be turned upside down, and few people will believe it.

has grown so old, and no child can see through it, it seems that Wu Youyi's official fortune is about to come to an end.

"Third Miss, don't talk nonsense, I'm afraid to talk about these words at home, if I accidentally spread it, I'm afraid it will cause trouble!" Chun Han said on the side.

When Mrs. Lin heard this, she glanced at Chunhan, her face full of displeasure, "The third girl is just a seven or eight-year-old child, who knows that?" What's more, who will take what a child says seriously? Chunhan, help Minglan pack up her things and go down! I don't need your service anymore. ”
