The words of the teahouse maid made Lin Saiyu understand, this little brother Liu didn't go to the capital at all? Seeing Ying'er's wide-eyed and surprised look, Lin Saiyu hurriedly pulled her over and instructed, saying that the old lady was not allowed to know, and the old lady's body could not withstand it, Ying'er had always admired this lady who was the same age as herself, had money and land in the family, but was not squeamish, and naturally listened to what she said, so Lindsay Yu called her home, and told Liu that she would go to the city to buy things, so she called a tenant cart and followed the little maid to the city hurriedly.

Entered the city and went straight to the teahouse on Nanxiang Street, where there were many teahouses, and went straight to the innermost small façade, before going upstairs, she heard someone upstairs calling her name, and looked up to see that it was Liu Xiaohu.

"Why did the little official come back?" The tenant rubbed his eyes.

Lin Saiyu replied casually, asked the little maid to take him to tea, and hurriedly walked upstairs to see Liu Xiaohu sitting on a chair looking at her and giggling.

"Did you fail the exam or didn't you make it to the exam room?" Lin Saiyu pulled over the chair and sat across from him, glaring.

Liu Xiaohu said with a smile: "I entered, but I didn't pass the exam." ”

Lin Saiyu smiled and glanced at him, and said, "You are smart enough to write a fake letter!" ”

"I'm not afraid of scaring my mother by telling the truth." Liu Xiaohu said that he had eaten a cup of tea, poured a cup and handed it to Lin Saiyu, asked about some things at home, Lin Saiyu told him one by one, and talked about the growth of rice and the harvest of vegetables, Liu Xiaohu, who listened, nodded and smiled.

"On my way back here from the capital, I heard the reputation of our family, and everyone said that the food was delicious and fragrant, which was different from others." Saying that, he stood up and made a promise to Lindsay Yu, "There is a labor lady." ”

Lin Saiyu smiled with a red face, and frowned again: "What are you going to do?" Do you keep deceiving like this? ”

Liu Xiaohu had already thought of countermeasures, stood and walked a few steps: "I calculated that I can't even go back to the state test, and after a while, I will ask someone to call me sick, and you will be indispensable to take me back. ”

Lin Saiyu smiled, and because the child knew how to think of a way, he asked, "Then you have been staying in the city now?" ”

When Liu Xiaohu heard this, he stroked his palm and said, "I have a plan to discuss with my lady." ”

As soon as Lin Saiyu heard him call him a lady, her face turned red, and she had to lower her head, and listened to Liu Xiaohu continue: "Our family is going to farm in the future, I just take this opportunity to walk around and see what good seeds there are, lady, are you willing to do it?" ”

As soon as Lin Saiyu heard him, he immediately came to his senses, but he didn't expect him to come at the end, his face turned crimson, and he took a sip and whispered: "Which one can't bear you!" ”

Liu Xiaohu laughed, thinking about this for some reason, he blurted it out, and he was a little ashamed to say it, and then he saw Lin Saiyu with his head down and his face flushed, and the corners of his eyes seemed to be smiling, he was really shy and timid, since he got acquainted with Lin Saiyu, he knew that she was not ugly and scary, and he didn't pay attention to her appearance every day.

Lin Saiyu listened to him silent for a long time, and looked up in surprise to see Liu Xiaohu staring at herself, could it be that her current skin can also be fascinating? Lin Saiyu only had a handful of fingers when he looked in the mirror, and he didn't know his appearance when he said it, so he couldn't help but reach out and touch his face, his fingers touched his face and woke up, stretched out his hand and flicked it on Liu Xiaohu's head, and changed the topic: "I have something to ask you." ”

Liu Xiaohu came back to his senses, sat down and listened to his ears, Lin Saiyu talked about the symptoms of the previous section of rice, and had the heart to test whether this child knew about rice blast, Liu Xiaohu frowned when he heard it: "Fortunately, it was the early stage, you did a good job of dialing the sick seedlings, I remember my father said that as long as the initial detection is in time, this disease is fine, but I am afraid that if it is not found in time, it will inevitably cause a catastrophe." ”

Lin Saiyu nodded approvingly, seeing that Liu Xiaohu was still frowning and thinking, he said: "After all, the loss of pulling out the diseased seedlings is too large, but there is a way to prevent and control it?" ”

Like a bookworm seeing a book, Liu Xiaohu was refreshed at this time, paced back and forth a few steps, and said in his mouth: "It's not that I haven't tried it, but I haven't tried it." ”

Lin Saiyu was indeed a little surprised, but I am afraid that the old farmers who are used to planting rice in Jiangnan may not know the way, this young man who grew up in the north and has never been out of the house actually knows? Then he said: "I estimate that this disease will have to be repeated again, you can say a way, I will go back and try it." ”

Liu Xiaohu stood in front of the table and thought for a long time, and said slowly: "Let's try it, lady, you go back and prepare some plant ash, sulfur powder to live together, sprinkle on the surface of rice leaves, maybe it works." ”

Lin Saiyu opened her mouth wide, couldn't hold back the surprise, stood up and put a palm on Liu Xiaohu's back, and said with a smile: "The son can be taught!" ”

Liu Xiaohu was only coughed by her, and asked puzzledly, "What?" ”

Lin Saiyu was a little embarrassed because of her gaffe, and she was busy talking about it, and the two discussed the itinerary, seeing that it was not early, Liu Xiaohu was afraid that Liu's worry would urge Lin Saiyu to go back.

"There must be many novel crops near the sea in the land of Wuyue, you should pay more attention to this trip, and bring edible things from overseas." Lin Saiyu thought that the Great Song Dynasty was developed by sea, and many crops were introduced in the Song and Yuan dynasties, maybe no one found it earlier, if it could be discovered early for planting and promotion, it would be a great merit, especially the high-yield hunger-resistant things that can fill the stomach, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn, thinking of this, Lin Saiyu only felt hot.

Liu Xiaohu nodded and said: "I also have this intention, I heard my father say that there are many crops overseas that are different from my dynasty, if they can be introduced and popularized, they will benefit the people, he also intended to go to sea with the boat back then, but his parents are not far away." Speaking of this, his interest was even higher, and he almost couldn't wait to go, seeing Lin Saiyu's concerned eyes, his heart warmed and turned around to hold her hand and said, "Lady, if it weren't for you to take care of my mother, I'm afraid that I won't have this opportunity for a long time." ”

Lin Saiyu immediately blushed again, wanted to withdraw her hand, but was a little reluctant, and suddenly realized that this person was her husband, the person she will be with for the rest of her life here, looking up at this handsome face, this person was chosen by herself, and she liked it, right? So he stretched out his hand to hold him back, and said: "Erlang, don't worry, there is me at home, you be careful all the way, go early and return early, just don't let your mother feel at ease, you will suffer outside, if your mother knows, she will be sad." ”

Liu Xiaohu nodded, hesitated, stretched out his hand to hug her, and the two of them quietly leaned on each other for a while, watching the sun gradually slanting, and they had to stay any longer to send Lin Saiyu downstairs.

"Lady, I almost forgot about the big thing." Liu Xiaohu called again, saw Lin Saiyu standing still and asked, and said with a smile, "I still hope that the lady will send some money, it is difficult to move an inch without money." ”

Lin Saiyu smiled, nodded and turned away, on the way there were few words to tell the tenants, only to say that Liu Xiaohu came back to get the money, to prepare for a long-term stay in Beijing, and told him not to tell Liu, so as not to worry about his son, the tenant smiled meaningfully and understood, Lin Saiyu, who was only smiling, blushed, and asked him to send money to Liu Xiaohu the next day.

Liu Xiaohu sent a letter back a month after leaving, and the one who gave Liu was just to report safety, and quietly to Lindsay Yu was to say something about what he had seen and heard in Jiangnan, Liu Xiaohu's article was not very good, but it was impressive to write a travel essay, and Lindsay Yu hid and laughed secretly, Liu called Lindsay Yu after reading the letter, and discussed sending some silver money to his son, and when he took the account book, the two couldn't help but be dumbfounded, it turned out that although Liu was in charge of this account, but because Lindsay Yu's field was very trivial to buy seeds and feeds, he didn't go to the fine tube, And Lin Saiyu spent money and never asked how much balance there was, Liu Xiaohu went to Jiangnan, she gave dozens of taels of silver, and the rest of the money was all spent on building a new house, and the three beds in the three bedrooms alone cost more than 20 taels, and now what is presented in front of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is an empty family.

"Mother, we still have a season of cabbage and radish to sell." Lindsay Yu smiled forcefully.

Liu also blushed a little, thinking that he would be a rich housekeeper for half his life, and he would not be able to make ends meet, so he said: "Blame me, I originally wanted the family of the three of us, there is nothing to worry about, but you have to take care of it in the future, daughter-in-law, it's just that it will be difficult for you to use money in the future." ”

Lin Saiyu smiled, and only said that it was up to her mother to decide, while reassuring the Liu family and their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law that they were only eating ordinary people's meals, and they were dressed the same as the villagers, and now the money was tight because of building a house, as long as the house was built, there would be no big expenses.

In the blink of an eye, the weather has cooled down, Liu and Ying'er rushed out of the jacket day and night, and the new house was also built at this time, Liu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at the auspicious day to the new house beam, the tenants were all present to congratulate, many restaurants in the county headed by Cuifeng Lou were hung red to celebrate, sent congratulatory gifts, even the county lord also sent someone to send a fruit box, so happy that Liu only shed tears, pulled Lin Saiyu said that it was the light of the son of the people, Lin Saiyu turned his head and smiled, but he understood that people were rushing to their own vegetable fields, Even the county lord remembered that he had promised to increase the yield of rice, and although the money was not abundant, Liu still ordered to reward the craftsmen, and in the hall of the new courtyard, a banquet was set up to treat the visitors, and the food did not disperse until noon.

Liu's hard work couldn't stay up all day, and he fell asleep before dark, Lin Saiyu took Ying'er and a few tenants' mothers-in-law to clean inside and out, until it was dark before entering his own house, which was a three-room room, according to Liu's statement, it was to wait for Liu Xiaohu's high school fame, and when he came back, he gave them a bedroom.

Lin Saiyu stepped into the room, closed the door and jumped up, after thirty years of past and present lives, she finally had a decent room!

The small hall is not big or small, the tables and chairs are not much but neatly furnished, there is a landscape map hanging in the hall, there is a large incense burner on the strip, Lindsay Yu only smacks his lips, the left is the study, only a bookshelf and a bookcase, there are two vases of flower arrangement on the ground, the right is the bedroom, the first thing that comes into the eye is the gold-painted bed that Liu bought with ten taels of silver, but the money is used up, and the covers are still old, but this is enough to make Lindsay Yu ecstatic, step by step to jump up and roll, how many years, she finally lived in the new house she bought by herself, There is no need to live in the dark and low adobe house, although this house is not as beautiful as the bedroom of Mrs. Li when she was a slave in the Su family in Lao'er Village, but for her Lin Saiyu, it is enough.

Hugging the warm bedding that had just been dried today, Lin Saiyu couldn't help crying quietly, and before she could cry twice, Ying'er knocked on the door urgently: "Madam, it's not good, it's not good, hurry up." ”

Frightened, Lin Saiyu didn't bother to touch her face, took a few steps over and opened the door, and saw that Ying'er was also scattered, obviously just falling asleep, "What's wrong?" But the old lady... ”

Ying'er shook her head quickly, took a breath and said, "Just a few people came to say, I didn't dare to tell the old lady, we, our family's greenhouse, collapsed." ”
