Zhong Ruying glanced at the petals in the bathtub, stretched out her hand and smiled: "It's interesting, then let's stay a few more days." ”

"General!" The squire looked at Sweep Red with some anxiety.

Sweeping Hong lowered his eyes and thought for a while: "General, it's not good that we're too late, why don't you ask for leave for Your Majesty, just say that you saw Lord Lin in Suzhou, and it was like a familiar sight, so stay longer." ”

The squire nodded again and again, "Your Majesty feels sorry for you, and will definitely agree." ”

Zhong Ruying waved her hand and said, "Then write it." ”

Raising his chin to want to sweep the red, he motioned for her to continue.

Sao Hong paused and said: "Some people say that Lord Lin is the same as her father, is the reincarnation of Tao Zhugong, when Lord Lin leaves, in addition to this piece of Juetian, she only has two Zhuangzi and a bookstore and four bookstores, I heard that even the family's cash has donated most of it, but do you see how well she plans this Juetian now?" ”

Zhong Ruying asked, "There are only two aunts and nephews in the Lin family's branches, and the side branches let them live here?" ”

Sao Hong said with a smile: "I heard that there was a stir when I first came back, but then it subsided, and the Lin County Lord moved here, and the Lin clan didn't dare to disturb it." However, I heard that Patriarch Lin and several nephews of the side branch have come over to help run errands and fulfill their filial piety recently. ”

Zhong Ruying said lightly: "She is lucky, there are many people in the clan, so many children and nephews, there are always people who can be used." ”

Sweeping Hong and Shi Jian heard the envy and regret in Zhong Ruying's words, and lowered their heads and did not speak.

The Zhong family has not many heirs, and when it comes to their old general, there is only one general, who originally wanted to hand over the Zhong family's army to his uncle, but who knew that his uncle died in battle.

The Zhong family's remaining side branches have no skills, and they only want to suck blood from the general, not to mention the uncle's family, the old lady Qi can't wait for the general to die immediately, so that her nephew's child can be passed on to the uncle's name.

But why didn't she understand that Zhong Jiajun recognized the general, why did she inherit the Zhong family with a nephew who had no blood relationship with the Zhong family?

Speaking of which, the situation of their generals is really similar to that of Lord Lin, they are all young widows, they don't even have children, and there are no sons and nephews in the clan to help.

And Lin Jun mainly raised his nieces and supported the Lin family's descendants, and their generals also had to support the Zhong family's army.

It's no wonder that the two of them felt a little sympathetic to each other as soon as they met, and Sao Hong couldn't help but whisper when he thought of their general's previous performance: "General, we are no longer in the army, you have to restrain your temper, don't be like a veteran ruffian, be careful of frightening others, then you can't be friends." ”

Zhong Ruying raised her eyebrows, "Do you see that she looks like she is scared?" ”

"How did the general know that she wasn't scared?" Sao Hong said in a low voice: "You didn't see it, County Lord Lin has been secretly looking at you." ”

Zhong Ruying snorted and muttered, "She's not scared by me, I think she likes it very strangely." ”

Because there were guests, considering that Zhong Ruying was a soldier and must like meat, some meat was added to the table.

Although Zhong Ruying was heroic, her heart was very detailed, and she saw that the dishes on the table were both meat and vegetarian, but Lin Qingwan and the three of them didn't eat, so she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and asked, "Are you eating vegetarian at home?" ”

Lin Qingwan said with a smile: "We are copying the scriptures, so we have fasting recently, my sister doesn't have to worry, you can eat whatever you like, if the taste doesn't match, tell me, and I'll let the people in the kitchen make it according to your taste." ”

Zhong Ruying nodded and didn't ask again.

After dinner, Mrs. Xie said goodbye and went back to the room, Zhong Ruying pulled Lin Qingwan to play chess, Lin Yubin was very curious about Zhong Ruying, so she followed.

Zhong Ruying handed the white chess pieces to Lin Qingwan, and Lin Qingwan took it and said, "Accept." ”

Zhong Ruying leaned on the couch relaxed and said, "I like to take the first step when I play chess, so I can always take the lead." ”

Lin Qingwan pushed the white chess pieces to her.

Zhong Ruying shook her head, leaned on the couch and said amorously: "My sister is different, I am willing to let my sister take the first step." ”

Lin Qingwan smiled and took the white chess back again, but Lin Yubin on the side was stunned, looking at Zhong Ruying with a slightly red cheek.

Lin Qingwan fell first and said: "Actually, I am the opposite of my sister, I like to come later, although the person who goes first has the opportunity, but also misses the flaw first." ”

"Then how did you catch white?"

"Because this is what my sister handed to me," Lin Qingwan blocked her back road, raised her head and pursed her lips and smiled: "I don't know my sister very well, I'm afraid that my sister doesn't know who I am, so in order not to push around, I took it." ”

The smile on Zhong Ruying's face deepened, "Doesn't my sister push people around?" ”

"It depends on who's with you."

It means that she is not in the list of people she pushes around, Zhong Ruying is even happier, even if she loses in the end, she loses very happily.

She looked at Lin Qingwan regretfully and said, "My sister is in better health, maybe she can make contributions on the battlefield." ”

Lin Qingwan shook her head, "My sister thinks too highly of me, I don't have that ability." ”

"That's my sister's self-indulgence."

Lin Qingwan shook her head again, where is it so simple to be a general, let alone in this era.

Zhong Ruying didn't say anything anymore, but asked: "I heard that someone in the DPRK and China has impeached my sister, do you need my help?" ”

"It's settled."

Zhong Ruying sneered: "Those people have a small belly, my sister put them together, they don't say anything, they don't know how to hate you in their hearts, be careful that they will impeach you in the future." ”

"What," Lin Qingwan said indifferently: "I won't die, maybe I won't even be taken away from the position of county lord, what am I afraid of?" ”

Zhong Ruying couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and nodded her head, "Yes, what are we afraid of?" But it's not damaged, but it's annoying. ”

Lin Qingwan smiled silently, she has suffered a lot of criticism, basically as long as she doesn't say it in front of her, she can generally turn a blind eye.

Grandfather said that their insults were just to expose their stupidity and extremism, and they were already so miserable, they could let it go.

Although she hasn't cultivated to her grandfather's realm yet, she can basically treat it as if she doesn't know it in front of her, and if it's in front of her, it depends on her mood.

Zhong Ruying shook her head when she saw this, Lin Qingwan was still too soft, if she didn't beat them, she was afraid that they would have to commit crimes in the future.

So every time someone impeaches her, she has to compete with those people, and she has to divide the winners and losers.

Lin Qingwan looked at the hourglass and picked up the chess pieces one by one, "Sister, it's not too early, you are tired, why don't you go back and rest first." ”

Zhong Ruying patiently picked up a few with her, glanced at the hourglass, and no longer politely greeted her, got up and hugged her fists to say goodbye.

Lin Yubin stood up to send her out, Lin Qingwan saw her standing at the door and sent her away, so she couldn't help but step forward and tap her forehead, "Come back to your senses, your eyes are straight, don't you like her?" ”

Lin Yubin's face flushed, and he followed behind his aunt and said, "Lord Zhong is really powerful, I like her very much, but my favorite is my sister-in-law." ”

"This mouth is so sweet, it's like honey."

Lin Qingwan sat back in her position and continued to pick up chess pieces, Lin Yubin sat opposite her and propped her chin and said: "What I said is true, Lord Zhong is very powerful, but my aunt is also very powerful, you are my aunt, I naturally like you more." ”

Lin Qingwan smiled and asked, "Then how powerful do you say that Lord Zhong is powerful, how am I powerful?" ”

Lin Yubin lowered his head and thought for a while: "Lord Ruying is as heroic as her name, she has made a lot of achievements, and it is very powerful for a woman to do her part, but she is too sharp." My aunt is also very powerful, she also supports a family, if she is a sword out of the sheath, then my aunt is a puddle of water, which can be slow or urgent, and can move mountains and rocks in an emergency, and when it is slow, people are unconscious, but it can slowly penetrate. ”

Lin Qingwan couldn't help laughing, "You just say that I am a flood beast." ”

"Auntie!" Lin Yubin said with a serious face: "What I said is true. ”

"Okay, then let me ask you, do you want to make a sharp sword, or auntie's water?"

Lin Yubin bit her lip and didn't speak, in fact, she also felt that her aunt always seemed to be wronged, and it was naturally more comfortable to be a person like the lord of Yingjun, especially on the spot, so she didn't have to hold back her heart.

But she vaguely felt that Lord Ruying seemed to be more tired than her aunt, obviously this sword was not so easy to make.

Lin Qingwan put a handful of white chess pieces in her hand into the chess box, "Silly boy, why do you have to be me or Lord Zhong?" You can be yourself. ”

Lin Yubin pouted, "Didn't my aunt ask me?" ”

"I asked you if you want to eat duck eggs or chrysanthemum at night, how do you choose?"

Lin Yubin opened her mouth wide, she didn't like to eat these two things.

"You can answer me that you want to eat both, and there are not only two dishes at home."

Lin Yubin looked at her aunt silently, and she intuitively felt that she was being bullied.

Lin Qingwan smiled and pushed her, "Okay, go to bed, you still have to go to school tomorrow morning." ”

They chose to leave for Yangzhou in five days, so she had to go to school for four days.

Lin Yubin hung her head and went back, she was still thinking about the two questions just now.

Zhong Ruying had a good night's sleep, got up and practiced swords in the yard for a while, and then went back to the house to wash before going to the backyard to find someone.

Bai Mei saw her and immediately said, "The county lord is awake, it's better to have breakfast first." ”

Zhong Ruying glanced at the sun in the sky and asked, "What about your county lord?" ”

"Our aunt and grandmother are in the vegetable patch behind...... Hey, Lord of the County, you haven't had breakfast yet......"

Zhong Ruying had already walked quickly to the backyard, and saw Lin Qingwan squatting in a cloth dress to pull weeds in the vegetable field, she was not too dirty, she strode forward directly, and asked with a smile, "The dignified county lord still wants to grow vegetables?" ”

Lin Qingwan raised her head and smiled: "The dignified county lord relies on the income from the fields to support his family, so he is naturally not afraid of growing vegetables." ”

Zhong Ruying squatted beside her, looked at the vegetable field, nodded and said, "Yes, it's well taken care of." ”

She pointed to a paddy field not far away and asked, "You planted that too?" ”

Lin Qingwan nodded, "Planting in Zhuangzi, everyone comes to watch when you are strange, it's awkward, this courtyard is big, and there is a small river passing by, so just open a piece of land here to plant." ”

Zhong Ruying walked to the edge of the field and squatted, observed for a long time, and said, "It looks good." ”

"How can it be bad if it is near the river, there is no shortage of water, the soil is fertile, there is plenty of fertilizer, and the seeds are good?" Lin Qingwan walked up to her, "Sister also understands farming?" ”

"The treasury is empty, and there is often no military pay, and in some years even the supply of grain and grass is insufficient, so there is no way, so my father has to take the soldiers to cultivate the land, and when there is no war, he will cultivate the land, so that he can have some food." Zhong Ruying sat down on the ground, directly pulled a piece of grass in her mouth, and said indifferently: "I am now the general of the Zhong family's army, even if I don't need to go to the field myself, I still have to understand some farming." ”

Lin Qingwan bowed.

Zhong Ruying asked, "Do you think this year's harvest will be good?" ”

"As long as the wind and rain are good in the next two months, there will be a good harvest this year."

"I hope God will appreciate your face."

Lin Qingwan nodded, in troubled times, food is easy to exchange for money, but it is difficult for money to buy food, she has such a large piece of land, and now she is looking forward to the wind and rain every day.
