Hearing that the county lord was summoned, the Liu family frowned all the way, and when Lin Saiyu saw it, she naturally wanted to laugh with her and said: "Mother, you don't have to worry, it's not a big deal, the county lord is a very sensible person, but after listening to a few gossips from others, we have no ghosts in our hearts, what is there to be afraid of." ”

Liu sighed and muttered, "On that day, your father-in-law was suddenly called like this。。。。。。 ”

Lin Saiyu smiled, and thought that it was inappropriate to laugh at this time, so she hurriedly collected her face and changed the subject: "Mother, just rest assured, this time in the city, let's buy a maid by the way?" ”

Liu nodded in response and said, "It should have been like this a long time ago, although the family is not rich now, there is still money to buy a maid." While counting the money that Lin Saiyu handed over to him, "If it weren't for my illness, we would have been able to clean up a new house before Erlang came back." ”

As he spoke, he entered the city, found the official mansion and reported his name to the gatekeeper, the man went to report, and soon came out and led them to the inner hall, Lin Saiyu originally thought that he would at least go to the court to ask a few words, how did he enter the inner courtyard?

As soon as they passed the second door, they saw a young man wearing green gauze pleats walking out of an inverted hall. ”

Lin Saiyu was surprised how could such a young man recognize himself, and hurriedly raised his head to look, seeing that this person's face was clear, and when he saw that he looked like himself, he nodded slightly, it was his former master, Su Jinnan, a senior official, who hurriedly greeted him, and saluted: "Young master, why are you here?" ”

Before Su Jinnan could answer, Master Zhu walked out and said with a smile: "Let you run this trip in vain, I have to make someone tell you to go, it's still too late." ”

Liu hurriedly bowed down and said that he didn't dare, so he sat in the inverted hall, and after eating tea, he knew that the little thing was early, after listening to Cao Dibao's black report, Lord Zhu just ordered someone to pass on Liu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and Su Jinnan came to the door with two stewards, who wanted to open a shop here to come to the record, Lord Zhu has been an official in the south for many years, and naturally knows the Su family, although the status of a businessman is really not very good, but after all, money can do a lot of things, especially a big businessman like the Su family, who has a ship extending in all directions, Lord Zhu did not slack off, During the chat, he naturally talked about the Liu family, and in line with the cooperative relationship, Su Jinnan naturally wanted to say good things for Lin Saiyu, not to mention that in his eyes, this child is definitely not a frivolous person, Steward Li has more contact with the Liu family, and knows the grievances between the villagers.

This trip to the official was over after just a cup of tea, and Liu Shi breathed a sigh of relief and retired with Lin Saiyu, and thanked Su Jinnan again.

"You want to buy a maid, Steward Li brought some people, you can pick and choose." Su Jinnan said slowly, pointing to the teahouse in front of him.

Liu was busy about to excuse himself, but Su Jinnan said indifferently: "These people, Steward Li is optimistic, and you children and weak women can rest assured." ”

Hearing her say this, Liu knew the kindness, so he no longer shirked, and after thanking him, he followed the two into the teahouse, there was already a person Yazi with more than a dozen girls standing in the box waiting, Liu looked at them one by one, pointed to a girl with a mellow face and a strong body left, Lin Saiyu has been standing behind her and watching quietly, seeing that Liu has settled, he is busy paying for people's teeth, and Steward Li was about to rush to pay, but he stopped when he saw Su Jinnan shaking his head.

"There is a shop here, if there is any difficulty, just say it." Looking at Liu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who thanked her again, Su Jinnan put down the teacup and said slowly, "Your lotus root is very good, and next year's goods have been decided, so don't make a mistake." ”

Lin Saiyu hurriedly responded, listening to Su Jinnan no longer speak, knowing that it was time to say goodbye, he quietly looked up at him when he retreated, and saw the man standing in front of the window, holding tea in his hand, in a daze if he wanted to eat or not, the sunlight cast a shadow on his face through the curtains, looking extremely lonely, Lin Saiyu thought of Li for no reason, shivered, in this blue sky and white day, there seemed to be a cold wind blowing in her neck, so frightened that she hurriedly said: "Brother Quan, Brother Quan is okay?" ”

Since they met, Lin Saiyu has been standing behind Liu, lowering her eyebrows and not saying a word, and suddenly a sentence came out so loudly, which made Su Jinnan a little surprised, and looked at the girl in front of her in a blink of an eye, although she hadn't seen her for a year, but in addition to the fact that she had lost some weight, it seemed that she was still as introduced to herself by Li in the room that day.

Lin Saiyu saw Su Jin South Africa but didn't answer, but showed a strange look, and couldn't help but drum in her heart, could it be that the Li family dreamed that day and entrusted himself to take care of his brother, not thinking about it day and night? Could it be that the whole brother suffered at the hands of Su Jinnan? If she didn't come to remind her today, she was only afraid that the Li family would scare her by falling asleep again, and she couldn't care about Liu's eyes, so she stepped forward and said, "Young master, Madam is gone, you are so far away, who will the whole brother hand over to watch?" ”

Is she blaming Su Jinnan?! Steward Li and the Liu family both frowned, this question was a bit abrupt! Where can other people's children tolerate you as a subordinate, or have former subordinates come to ask?

Su Jinnan came back to her senses by her question, looked at the girl with an anxious face, and couldn't help but think that Li had said that this child was sincere more than once that day, thinking that she had only been with them for half a year, knowing that Li was gone, she could miss her son and brother so much, and her heart couldn't help but warm, and said: "Handed it over to his grandmother, his uncle will send me a letter every other day, and everything is fine with my brother." After thinking about it, he said, "Thank you for thinking about him." ”

Lin Saiyu breathed a sigh of relief, remembering that although Li Rong was a little ridiculous, it could be seen that he had a good relationship with the Li family, and the whole brother must have lived well in their family, and recited the Buddha in his heart, Li should not come to her again, hearing Su Jinnan's thanks, his face couldn't help but blush, he was really ashamed, and hurriedly followed Liu out.

After this incident, Cao Di security gave birth to a lot, and when they saw that the Liu family bought a handmaiden, the villagers also gave up their thoughts, and the life of the Liu family was like rice in a paddy field, moistened.

The newly bought maid is named Ying'er, fourteen years old this year, the same age as Lindsay Yu, and a child of a poor family, her father and mother died, and she was bought by her uncle and aunt in her family.

Rice is growing very well, Lin Saiyu slowly did some experiments, hoping to increase the yield, the greenhouse was built, the farmers are leveling the land, and according to Lin Saiyu's instructions to apply some manure, and the autumn vegetables in the open air are also becoming more and more popular, because the lotus root let Cuifeng Lou win the opportunity to entertain the county order, the reputation overwhelmed Kuisheng Lou, and became the first restaurant in Cheng'an County, the Wu shopkeeper of Cuifeng Lou simply regarded the Liu family's dishes as the God of Wealth, and couldn't wait to buy all the dishes, and other restaurants were naturally not far behind, In addition, some wealthy families also heard the reputation and came to buy one after another, and for a time the family of the landlord Liu in Shifang Village became famous.

The cabbage, radish and spinach planted by Liu Xiaohu in Lu's family were quickly sold out, Lu's smile was open, in addition to the fact that the door-to-door account was too annoying, today's days are very satisfying, and the other people who grow vegetables have also harvested a lot, which makes the farmers who have been assigned to the lotus root field a little unbearable, as long as they see Lindsay Yu, they will ask when to plant lotus root, and when they hear Lindsay Yu say that when they start spring next year, they all collapse their faces, this year is not in vain? Rice in their eyes is the same as the corn planted every day, look at the sparse appearance of no yield, for a time the climate in the village is reversed, the original envy of planting lotus root and worried vegetable farmers are uplifted, with a sad eye care for the water farmers, they are not only planted this autumn, the master said, as soon as the winter, the greenhouse vegetables began, has been able to plant, has been able to buy, although the Liu family received most of the money, but the part they left behind is far better than the previous income, for a time, everyone to rent Liu's land as a blessing, Even Cao Dibao didn't care about being laughed at, planted vegetables on his own land, and began to build it like Liu's greenhouse.

When the weather gradually cooled, Liu Xiaohu's letter arrived, and Liu saw tears rippling, which startled Lin Saiyu, who had just entered the house, and hurriedly asked what was wrong.

The maid Ying'er served her tea and said, "The old lady is happy, the young master has passed the exam!" ”

Lin Saiyu was taken aback, can Liu Xiaohu pass the exam? That's really the green smoke on the ancestor of the Liu family! He stood behind Liu, looked down, and sure enough, he saw that the letter said that he had taken the state test, and in order to prepare for the provincial test in the spring of next year, he stayed in Kaifeng, and he couldn't come back for the New Year.

"Daughter-in-law, Erlang... Liu couldn't cry speechlessly, and took Lin Saiyu's hand, Lin Saiyu was also very surprised, anyway, as if he got a college notice back then, remembering the joy of his parents at that time, tears couldn't help but flow, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were relatively each other, but they were in general tears, until Ying'er said to ask the old woman to incense and tell the ancestors that they came back to their senses.

After doing all this, Liu, who had not yet calmed down, called Lin Saiyu and said: "Daughter-in-law, now that Erlang is a lifter, the place we bought can be grounded, and when the official comes back next year, it will not be shabby." ”

Lin Saiyu answered, always felt that something was wrong, but there was something unspeakable, Liu took out the money he had saved these days, Lin Saiyu went to the city to invite a craftsman, and stood in a courtyard to listen to Liu's arrangement, Lin Saiyu did not understand the rules of building a house, and the ground was inseparable from people, and Liu's family was not in good health, and could not keep it for a long time, after arranging his own requirements, Lindsay Yu asked Cao Saburo to watch, and promised to give his father a few hard-earned money, and Lu became more and more happy, saying where to be polite, His daughter's building a house is the same as building a house by herself, so she hurriedly urged Cao Saburo to go, chose an auspicious day to worship God, and started work lively.

On this day, Lindsay Yu was fiddling with rice in the field, and Ying'er came over with a small servant.

"I'm not at home looking at the old lady, what are you doing here?" Lindsay jumped ashore, put down her skirt and said.

Ying'er ran faster, panting and said, "The old lady looked at the new house, this person said that he was here to deliver a letter for the young master." ”

Lin Saiyu looked at the young man in Tsing Yi in surprise, who seemed to be a guy in a teahouse, and frowned: "The people there are very chaotic, why do you leave her there alone?" Erlang sent a letter, what are you doing with me if you don't give it to the old lady? ”

"Little lady, the little official specially instructed you to give it to you personally." The little guy hurriedly said, handing over a letter.

"Give it to me?" Lin Saiyu wiped his wet hands on his body, when did Liu Xiaohu know the words he could recognize? Could it be that when he followed behind him and read his article, he burst out laughing? After taking the letter, I saw that it was Liu Xiaohu's handwriting, which read "Lady personally receives", I couldn't help blushing, turned around and opened it to see that there were only a few lines of words on a piece of thin paper, "See the letter and go to the teahouse on Nanxiang Street in the city." ”

"Who is with your letter?" Lindsay Yu was shocked and turned to ask the little guy.

"It's Liu Xiaoguan. Our family was also fortunate enough to buy your family's dishes. The little guy said with a smile on his face.
