Looking at his eyes flashing with golden light, he couldn't help but smile, "Xiao Qi, I have some ideas, but it is not planted in the greenhouse this winter, but planted in the hillside around Qingming next year, it is a rare fruit, and it tastes very good." ”

She kept the seeds of the three watermelons that Zhou Weiji brought over in the summer, and planned to plant them next year. said that watermelons are rare, because after she got the seeds, she wrote to Meixian County and asked Tian Zhong of the rice grain shop to help her find watermelon seeds. Tian Chong's rice grain shop is relatively complete with all kinds of seeds, but he has not gotten watermelon seeds.

Watermelons still belong to the tribute from the Western Regions in the Great Zhou, and the civilian merchants have never seen it, so how can they get the seeds.

Xiao Qi heard that it was a fruit, and regardless of the fact that Qianmo was still beside him, he asked excitedly, "Sister-in-law Tuesday, what is this fruit called, when will it be harvested, and can it be made into Qingshan fresh fruit and sold?" ”

Lan Yi was stunned for a moment, and then understood what he was thinking, "It's called watermelon, it's a tribute from the Western Regions." We don't have it here, have you heard of Xiaoqi? ”

Xiao Qi tilted his head and flashed his thick eyelashes, "Watermelon? Do you know if you have heard that it is worth more than a big red fruit? ”

"It's hard to say, watermelon can't be used in vegetables, and it can't be made into green mountains and fresh fruits, but compared to grapes, it has a different flavor and is the most thirst-quenching for the summer." Lan Yi analyzed, "I will plant it first next year, if it can be successful, we will leave the seeds, and we can plant them on a large scale the year after tomorrow." ”

"It's going to be the year after tomorrow......" Xiao Qi's tone contained a deep sense of loss, but then he became happy, "Sister-in-law Tuesday." Next year, if you plant watermelons, the little ones will have to learn from them. ”

Although he was also curious about why Lan Yi could understand so many things that he didn't know, Xiao Qi was very measured. Don't ask much.

"Watermelon?! Where is the watermelon?" The light ink of the flowing harath suddenly woke up and turned left and right to look for it.

Lan Yi patted Wen Xuan, who was startled by him, and asked him to play in the greenhouse before turning around and saying, "Qianmo, your ears are really good at picking on what you like to listen to." ”

"Fourth girl, the watermelon is delicious. Light ink likes to eat. I remember you didn't send one to Gongzi and Mr. Meng this summer? That taste...... "The little white face was full of happy memories, and began to flow again, "It's delicious......"

Xiao Qi laughed. "Qianmo, you and the little one go to Lexiangju to be the second child."

Qianmo shook his head, "Don't go, Yu Bo's craftsmanship." The chef of Le Xiangju. It's much better. ”

"Yu Bo?" Xiao Qi blinked and looked at Lan Yi, "Yu Bo is?" ”

Lan Yi smiled, "The old servant next to my mentor is also a very interesting person. Qianmo is good at this, Yu Bo's craftsmanship is indeed better than that of Lexiangju's cooks. ”

"Sister-in-law Tuesday, I found that this Beigou Village is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. Don't underestimate it! Xiao Qi sighed.

Lan Yi nodded, and suddenly her eyes lit up. I had a good idea, looking at Qianmo, I couldn't help but open my mouth and laugh silently, why didn't I think of it before......

Qianmo looked up with feeling, and couldn't help but shudder when she saw Lan Yi's gaze, and hurriedly picked up the shovel and continued to work.

At this moment, there was a strong knock on the door of the middle courtyard.

Lan Yi put down the shovel and went to check, and saw an extremely ordinary carriage at the gate, the people in the carriage heard the sound of the door opening, lifted the curtain and jumped down, and smiled at Lan Yi, "Sister Lan." ”

Lan Yi hurriedly opened the door, "Brother Xia, I thought you would come over later, come in." ”

Xia Chongxiao got the news that Lan Yi sent someone to send over, if it wasn't for Lan Yi's special advice, he would have thought about it yesterday, how could it be delayed until the end of the day.

Seeing Lan Yi looking at the carriage, he turned around and ordered, "You wait here." ”

The coachman bent down and replied respectfully yes.

It seemed that there was no one in the car, and Lan Yi thought that Liang Jin would come with him. Looking at the drizzle falling from the sky, Lan Yi opened another door, "Brother Xia, let's park the carriage in the gate hole." How are the sister-in-law and the child okay? ”

Xia Chongxiao's wife Xia Zhang gave birth to his eldest daughter Xia Ning in March this year, Lan Yi went to see her when the moon was full, and the little girl looked quite similar to her aunt Xia Wan, so Xia Wan's mother-in-law Mrs. Qin was rare, and she was reluctant to let go.

At the mention of her daughter, Xia Chongxiao nodded, revealing a strong pride and smile, "It's all good, Ning'er has been able to sit firmly and start babbling, much better than when her brother was a child." ”

It is said that her daughter is her father's lover in her previous life, Lan Yi smiled, "Brother Xia, there is really a woman who is full of everything." ”

"Hehe, what Lan Mei said is good," Xia Chongxiao looked at Lan Yi with a smile, "If this child grows up and can have Lan Mei's general intelligence, the eldest brother will be content." ”

How smart she is, but she just relied on her two lives to be a person and read more books, "Brother Xia Mo made fun of Xiaomei, you come with me, Xiaoqi is in the West Courtyard." ”

“…… Xiao Qi, is he okay? Xia Chongxiao asked in a low voice.

Lan Yi sighed slightly, "It's much better than the previous two days, and you know his playful look." ”

Sure enough, as Lan Yi said, Xiao Qi was not surprised to see Xia Chongxiao, and said with a smile on his face, "Brother Xia, you are here." ”

Xia Chongxiao looked him up and down, smiled and nodded.

Lan Yi knew that she and Qianmo were here, and it was inconvenient for the two to talk, "Xiao Qi, you wash your hands and accompany Brother Xia to sit in the house, Qianmo, you help me take Xuan'er back to the middle courtyard, and I will go to boil water and make tea." ”

In the hall of the West Courtyard, Xiao Qi and Xia Chongxiao sat across the table, both bowing their heads and being silent, what flowed in the air was not depression, but a kind of helplessness that I didn't know how to say.

Xiao Qi broke the silence first, "Brother Xia, there is news of my grandfather." ”

"Shang Langzhong of Jishan Hall gives Mrs. Cheng the pulse of the house every day, which is good." Xia Chongxiao said thoughtfully.

"Is it okay," Xiao Qiyu sighed, "What about my mother?" ”

Xia Chongxiao shook her head, "Although there is no news, I haven't heard of Lang Zhong in my aunt's house." ”

didn't invite Lang Zhong is in good health, Xiao Qi apologized and thanked, "Brother Xia, it's hard for you." ”

The Cheng family wants to marry the third room of the Xia family, and the third room of the Xia family and the big house are not compatible, at this time, Xia Chongxiao sent someone to inquire about the news of the Cheng family, so that people with a heart know that they don't know what it will be arranged. Old Man Cheng is okay, Xiao Qi's mother Bai Shiping has little interaction with people in Japan, and it is difficult to know her current situation.

Xia Chongxiao's face was serious, "Zige, you and I have known each other for many years, and this is inevitably unavoidable." ”

Lan Yi boiled the water, brought it to the door, knocked twice before walking in, put down the teapot, and said with a smile, "Brother Xia, Xiao Qi, this is my newly obtained tea, you can also taste it." ”

The two smiled and nodded.

Lan Yi turned and walked out, closing the door for them.

"Zige, Liang Jin said that you would come here, at first I didn't believe it, I didn't expect you to really come." Xia Chongxiao turned the teacup in his hand to watch the ups and downs of the tea leaves. (To be continued.) )
