Chapter 254: Rich Grange

It's not in the way, it's just cold, and it's fine to drink two pairs of medicines. Ye Dan waved his hand.

"Can you please see my uncle?" Du Mei asked uneasily.

"Well, Dr. Zhong said that after drinking the medicine, it would be fine to sweat." Ye Dan handed the small bag next to the pillow to Du Mei.

"You're sick from this day and night." Du Mei grabbed the bag and felt a little reluctant to go.

"No, take a look at the letter, do you still like it?" Ye Dan urged.

"Hmm." Du Mei responded, bowed his head and untied the bag, and took out the seal letter.

"It's so beautiful." Du Mei's eyes lit up and he exclaimed.

The seal was lying in the palm of Du Mei's hand, but it was a finger high, boxy, and the whole body was burnt yellow, as if it was poured by his master's fine malt syrup, and the whole was bright and slightly transparent, pure and free of impurities.

Turning over the lettering side up, the four characters of Du Mei's seal jumped in front of him, the word has been stained with red mud, burnt yellow with bright red, extraordinarily charming and enchanting.

"Come and try it." Ye Qing took out the red clay with the handprint and a piece of rice paper for Du Mei to test the cover.

"What a beautiful word, thank you, Shopkeeper Ye." Du Mei used the seal letter for the first time, carefully pressed it, carefully uncovered it, looked at the clear red characters on the rice paper, and was very happy in her heart, she always thought that the words were written by Ye Dan, and thanked her repeatedly.

"If you like it, if you like. cough cough cough" Ye Dan covered his mouth and coughed, he didn't know, if Du Mei knew that it was not written by him, would he be angry and angry.

"That's what I want, I don't know how to thank you, send me some salted duck eggs from home for you to taste." Du Mei said with a smile.

"When you've seen the Grange, come back to me, I have something to tell you. Now, go quickly, don't miss the hour. Ye Dan tried to smile a little.

"Well, you're sleeping, I'll be back after noon." Du Mei saw that he was reluctant to support, and he didn't say anything, but turned around and went out.

Ye Qing really wanted to go with him to see the Grange, but he didn't worry about his brother, so he decided to wait for the next opportunity to go again.

When Du Mei went to Yunshang Embroidery Village, the stone sent a jar of salted duck eggs to the drunken fairy building, the steward was really trustworthy, and was waiting outside the kitchen courtyard, and the stone directly helped him move the jar into the kitchen, and the account was waiting for Du Mei to collect.

This time I went to see the Grange, Du Mei only brought Du Zhong, after all, he is the only one who knows the work in the field best, the quality of the land, and what is suitable for planting, he knows everything well.

At three o'clock, Du Mei rushed to the county government office in Qinghe County, the gate of the county government was open, Shen Zhanghua in official uniform walked in front, the fat official led the horse to send him out, and Han Liu also led the horse to follow.

Du Mei handed a small bag to the fat servant, and as soon as he touched it, he knew that it was a salted duck egg, and grinned at Du Mei.

Du Mei was in a hurry, so he didn't say much, just smiled back.

Traveling lightly, five people, two horses and a cart went out of Qinghe County, and walked about 20 miles, but the more they walked, the more desolate they became, surrounded by mountains and forests, where is there the shadow of the grange?

"Han Liu, doesn't that seem right?" Shen Zhanghua grabbed the reins suspiciously, took out the title deed from his bosom to take a look, and looked around again.

They obviously walked according to the mark on the title deed, but this was the road up the mountain, and the woods on both sides of the road were getting deeper and deeper, and there was no end in sight.

"Brother Shi, please take care of one or two, I'll go ahead to explore the way." Han Liu said with his fists clenched.

"Han Zhutou rest assured, he should do his best." The stone jumped out of the carriage and saluted in return.

Han Liu jumped up and down a few times, and then disappeared, Du Mei sat in the carriage and panicked, so he got out of the carriage and looked around.

It happened to be a three-way intersection, and three winding roads stretched until they were hidden deep in the woods, and if you didn't recognize the road, you really didn't dare to go any further.

After about half a burnt of incense, Han Liu appeared on the road on the left, followed by a person. When I got closer, I saw that the person who came turned out to be Zhao Ji'an!

"My lord was afraid that Shen County's order and Du Ruren would not find the way, so he specially asked his subordinates to answer." Zhao Ji'an clasped his fists and saluted.

"The prince is thoughtful, and I am ashamed." Shen Zhanghua politely returned the salute. Du Mei is also blessed.

Zhao Ji'an whistled crisply, and a red-maned horse came running from the woods. He turned over and got on his horse, leading the way in front, Shen Zhanghua followed on horseback, followed by Du Mei's carriage, and Han Liu walked in the rear.

Du Mei heard Zhao Ji'an mention the prince, and she was inevitably awkward in her heart, but she had already come here, and she couldn't be angry, she really didn't know what attitude to take to face him.

Walked forward about two miles ago, and suddenly opened up in front of him, as if he was a paradise, there was a large empty land in this mountain col, and it must be a rich grange.

I got closer a little, but found that this rich grange was not rich at all, but dilapidated. It was probably a long time since no one took care of it, and the weeds grew half a man deep, covering up a boulder with the words Rich Grange written on it.

There is a man and a horse standing next to the boulder, a dark dark pattern robe, and a black horse with an inky body, as if it is a legacy of the world, but it is imposing, except for Yan Wang Chulin, Dashun Dynasty is afraid that it will not be able to find such a handsome and cold second person.

Shen Zhanghua rolled the saddle and got off the horse to salute, Du Mei also bent his knees and blessed him, and the others also hurriedly saluted, Chu Lin didn't speak, only raised his hand, his eyes fixed on Du Mei's body.

Wild grass and wild flowers covered the calves, and as soon as people walked, small insects in the grass flew everywhere. Thanks to Du Zhong bringing a few scythes, he, Shi Shi and Han Liu quickly cut out a path for people to pass through.

Walking through the path, I saw a courtyard door crookedly pestle on the edge of the wall, and as soon as Du Zhong pushed it, it fell to the ground with a clatter, overwhelming a piece of weed.

Several people looked at each other, and even Shen Zhanghua didn't expect that this place would be deserted like this. Chu Lin was not surprised, he only frowned and looked at the overgrown weeds inside, and he couldn't tell the green of the field road at all.

"Master, let's open a way before we go in." Zhao Ji'an said.

"Okay, let's go." Chu Lin responded in a deep voice.

Zhao Ji'an led everyone in to cut the grass, leaving only Chu Lin, Shen Zhanghua and Du Mei outside.

Chu Lin just wanted to talk to Du Mei about what was in his heart, but Shen Zhanghua didn't dare to snub him because Chu Lin was a noble prince, so he kept talking to him, but Chu Lin didn't bother to say a word except for his perfunctory speech, which made Shen Zhanghua sweat down in embarrassment.

Du Mei stood in the shade of the tree, looking at the few people in the courtyard who were bending down to mow the grass with her eyes wandering, and she didn't look at Chu Lin beside her, but she could clearly feel his fiery gaze burning her, it was already mid-autumn at this time, and she was actually stared at by him and sweated a little.

"I'll go sit in the car for a while." Du Mei turned around and got into the carriage with his back on his back.

"This king also wants to rest." Chu Lin then unceremoniously lifted the curtain and sat in.

In the blink of an eye, both of them got into the carriage, Shen Zhanghua looked at the curtain hanging down the door, and felt very weird, and he didn't know whether to enter or not.

"You ......" Du Mei was angry, she was avoiding him, but she didn't want to be alone with him in this small carriage.

"Du Ruren doesn't want this king to rest?" Chu Lin deliberately raised his voice.

"You rest, I'll get out!" Du Mei got up and bent down to get out of the car.

"Mei'er, how can you be so ruthless?" Chu Lin snorted lowly, and as soon as he scooped up his long arms, he took Du Mei in his arms.

"You...... Let go! Du Mei didn't dare to make a loud noise, and Shen Zhanghua was still outside the car.

"If you don't leave, I'll let you go." Chu Lin rested her head on the top of Du Mei's head and rubbed it, her hair had a natural fragrance, which made people intoxicated and couldn't extricate themselves.

"Lonely men and widows are in the same room, what kind of system!" Dume struggled. But it was in vain, Chu Lin imprisoned her hands, feet and body in his arms.

"Listen to me!" Chu Lin whispered in Du Mei's ear, and the hot air sprayed on Du Mei's neck, and her ears quickly turned red.

"Shen Xianling is watching from the outside, do you want my reputation to be gone!" Du Mei was in a hurry, so she could only show weakness, and her eyes were slightly red.

Hearing this, Chu Lin could only let go, the last thing he wanted to do was hurt Du Mei, or he would find time to talk to her again.

This is just a matter of a few breaths, Chu Lin waited for Du Mei's face to ease, then raised the curtain and said: "Shen County Order, you can also come up and sit, standing is tired and panicked." ”

"It's fine." Shen Zhanghua saw that Du Mei and Chu Lin were sitting on both sides, and if he didn't go up, it seemed that the reputation of the two of them would be damaged.

The three of them sat in the carriage, and the curtain was opened, and a fresh breeze came. Du Mei sat on the side, leaning against the wall of the car inside, Chu Lin sat opposite her, tilting his head and talking casually to Shen Zhanghua, who was sitting on a stool with him, his gaze swept over Du Mei from time to time, paying attention to her expression.

After a long hour, Du Mei was on pins and needles in Chu Lin's gaze. Just as she wanted to get out of the car and escape for the hundredth time, Zhao Ji'an came to invite them into the Grange.

When Du Mei heard this, she hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, and others thought how eager she was to see her own land.

The weeds in the yard had cut a way through it, and the air was filled with the cool smell of fresh grass juice and flowers.

The mermaids walked through an idle dry land, and saw two or three low houses on the slope not far away, and Du Mei went to see that the house was so old that the doors and windows were almost broken, and the house was even more in disarray.

"I'm afraid this house has been under construction for more than 20 years." Du Zhong looked at the weathered and peeling bricks in the corner.

"From this point of view, this is still the house that the old marquis repaired when he was there, this Jiang Yi is so harsh to the tenants, no wonder the field is in such a situation." Shen Zhanghua said.

A few people walked forward again, and there was obviously a large rice field in front of them, but unfortunately there was not a single rice in sight, only wild grasses and wild flowers grew very vigorously, attracting butterflies and bees to dance in honey. Dozens of acres of fields are connected into a piece, and at a glance, it seems that the green carpet is embroidered with red, yellow, pink and white flowers, which is magnificent.

"What a good land, wasted!" Du Zhong is an authentic farmer, and he can't tolerate the failure of the field, so he shook his head and sighed again and again.

"This huge grange doesn't produce at all?" Dume walked and walked, almost deflated.

Although she knew that the grange had been idle for about two months, there would not be much ready harvest. But look at this situation, I am afraid that when the locust plague first broke out, the people here abandoned the village and left, otherwise how could it be deserted to such a situation.

"What is there?" Shen Zhanghua raised his hand and pointed at a large piece of white snow blooming on a slope, shining dazzlingly in the sun.
