"Ah, this cow is already dead, don't drag it back to eat meat, bury it and do something." In the carriage, Hu complained dissatisfiedly.

"Mother, our family is not short of meat to eat, why bother with this mouthful, besides, the cow died in a very miserable state, you can eat it, be careful that it looks for you in the middle of the night." Xu Qingyan joked with a smile.

"Bah, what is the dead girl talking nonsense, she knows how to scare your mother." After a pause, Hu Shi said: "Actually, my mother is not worried about that mouthful of meat, but just thinking, since it has been bought with money, it will not be wasted if you don't eat it, besides, how rare beef is, but what money can't buy on weekdays, it just makes you waste it in vain, thinking of this, my heart hurts." “

"What is so rare about Niang beef, you want to eat rare, I will take you to the beach to eat seafood another day, then it is called a fresh, you don't want to come back even if you eat." Xu Qingyan pulled Hu Shi to be coquettish, trying her best to dispel her broken thoughts.

Anyway, she couldn't eat the beef, and she didn't want her family to eat it.

And that slope quilt, because there are still more than a dozen live cows, she left a few people to guard it, and when she and the Bai family complete the transfer procedures tomorrow, she can start the cattle breeding plan.

Back in Zhuangzi, it was already sunset, and the family rested early after dinner.

Early the next morning, Xu Qingyan took the people to the mountains to look for fruit seedlings, without her, Xu Guanghua and Xu Guangqi and others did not dare to go deeper, because the fruit trees they found were very common and single.

Xu Qingyan helped find a lot of fruit seedlings on the mountain that are usually difficult to see, and when the empty orchard was filled, it was two days later, seeing that things were almost arranged, she left a lot of spiritual water and told the people to water it on time, and then took the family back to Beishan Village.

..

"Miss." As soon as Xu Qingyan returned home, she was stopped by the porter: "Yesterday, Dingyuan Houfu sent someone a cart of things and a letter, what do you think about it?" ”

Dingyuan Waiting House? Xu Qingyan was stunned.

"What about faith?" She asked

"Here," the porter carefully took out the letter from his bosom: "The villain has been very careful to keep it." “

Xu Qingyan stretched out her hand to take it, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that the envelope read: "The Lord of Le'an County personally opened." ”

"Okay, I know, you go down first." waved off the subordinates, Xu Qingyan went straight to the study.

"Lingxian, pour me a cup of tea, Zelan, you go and put the things brought from the Zhuangzi in place." After explaining this, she sat down at her desk and began to open the letter.

The outermost layer is wrapped in brown waterproof kraft paper, and the outer envelope is torn, but unexpectedly, two letters fell out of it, one is signed by Lu Hui, and the other is the county lord of Xinrou.

Xu Qingyan paused, and first opened Lu Hui's envelope.

"Lu Hui, the third-grade lady of Dingyuan Houfu, asks the county lord to be safe: I haven't seen you for many days, I miss it very much, is the county lord safe recently?"

"Today's letter, there is nothing else to do, just to thank the county lord for his great kindness, one thanks, the virtue of the beginning of the acquaintance, the second thanks, the righteousness of protecting the child when the production is in danger, three thanks, the day of washing the three gifts of spiritual objects, for my son to block the disaster, during the period and take care of my mother and son, all kinds of Lu Huiming feel five inside, the great grace is unforgettable"

Next, there was a large paragraph of thanks and beautiful words, and Xu Qingyan was embarrassed, so she had to hurriedly scan the last few lines.

At the end of the letter, Lu Hui said pleadingly that if it was convenient, I hoped to ask her for another spiritual object for the child.

Seeing this, Xu Qingyan was very dazed.

Spirits? That's what it is.

I read the letter again from beginning to end to make sure that I was not mistaken, and after a closer look, I found that the word "spiritual object" was mentioned earlier.

"On the day of washing, I will give spiritual objects to prevent disasters for my son."

The day of washing, the day of washing?

Xu Qingyan read and thought, and suddenly remembered that it was the pair of silver bracelets!

But what is the name of a spiritual object?

Carefully recalling the events of that day, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration, it was those two grains of gratitude.

I still remember that when she gave the gift that day, she sincerely said that she wished the child a healthy life and all the best, and then there were two grateful thoughts that automatically flew into the silver bracelet. At the time, she herself was surprised that she couldn't do it, but it didn't take long for her to settle the matter.

If I think about it now, I'm afraid that those two grateful thoughts have any effect, but the specific things are not written in the letter, and the parties are not around, Xu Qingyan is really curious and scratches her ears.

"County Lord, tea is here." At this time, the fairy came over with tea.

Xu Qingyan hurriedly took it and took a sip to calm her mind.

"County Lord, what did Mrs. Shen's letter say?"

"It's nothing, it's just to talk about some interesting things in the capital recently." Even though the two of them were close to her, she didn't even understand how she could tell others.

Drinking all the tea in the cup, and motioning for Lingxian to refill the cup, Xu Qingyan picked up another letter on the table and read it.

This letter was written to her by the county lord of Xinrou, and it began, "The county lord of Le'an, Qingyan Fangjian: I haven't communicated for a long time, and I think about it, is everything safe recently?" “

"Everything is fine in Beijing, the business of Pujitang and Banlian Pavilion is thriving, and I have been secretly helping you take care of it, so I am worried... Next, I wrote a few interesting stories about the boudoir in the capital.."

Xu Qingyan also smiled when she saw it,

Writing, writing, but suddenly the conversation changed.

Speaking of interesting things, there is an even greater interesting story that makes me sleepy or unbearable, and I send this letter to solve my doubts.

The next paragraph details the strange things that happened in Dingyuanhou Mansion, and it also solves Xu Qingyan's suppressed curiosity.

"Recently, it has been rumored in the capital that the county lord is a blessed person, who can make spiritual objects, and the little girl is also curious in her heart, I don't know if the county lord can give a gift with a face, and let me wait for a good student to show off, of course, I will not let you go out in vain, there is a mahogany box in the gift of the Dingyuan Waiting Mansion, which I gave to you, and the jewelry there is carefully selected by me, and I have kept a copy myself, when you come to Beijing, we will wear it out together to participate in the banquet." The words are full of intimacy.

Xu Qingyan smiled, turned her head and saw the spirit fairy standing aside, and suddenly, an idea popped up.

She stretched out her hand to summon the fairy, and then took a silver hairpin from her head and handed it over.

"Miss, this is.." The fairy does not answer.

"Give it to you, put it on and let me see it, does it look good?"

"Miss is so decent, why do you give me something?" It's not a year's worth of festivals, what kind of wind is this smoking, Miss.

Because of their close relationship with Xu Qingyan, the two girls have always spoken directly in front of her.

Xu Qingyan said angrily: "You girl, your young lady and I will give things to others, do you still have to pick a day, so I will take it for you quickly." ”

As soon as she had such a seizure, Lingxian suddenly didn't dare to ask, and obediently took the silver hairpin and put it on her head.

At this time, I heard her young lady say on the side: "Give this hairpin, I wish you a healthy and safe life." “

"Miss." The fairy couldn't help but have a sour nose and almost shed tears.

"Okay, look at your little bit of talent, put on the hairpin and go out quickly, I want to stay alone."

"Yes, slave and maid retire, thank you, miss." Lingxian retreated with a touched face.

Xu Qingyan was weak for a while.
