Chapter 59: A Letter from the Capital? (Thanksgiving)
Li Zi was too shocked because of Lian Mingli and Lian Feiluo, two small ones, a few potatoes that turned out of their bloated bodies.
Seeing the potatoes bigger than his two fists, Li Zi almost didn't bare out of his eyes.
After taking a deep breath several times, he looked at the two little ones and asked with a serious face, "Where did you get this thing?" Recognizable? ”
The brother and sister, who had already discussed it, looked at each other at this time, and then looked at Li Zi with an innocent face.
Just when Li Zi wanted to speak again, Lian Mingli spoke up: "Manager Li, is there anything wrong with this thing?" ”
"My sister and I took these potatoes from home, my father said that this is a ration, and said that Steward Li takes good care of us, and this ration will have to trouble you when the time comes."
Li Zi, who has read countless people, although he knows that the child in front of him is a clever person, but he feels that something is wrong, and looks at Lian Mingli and asks: "How many are there at home?" ”
"I don't know how many catties, my father said that he would plant this in the spring when he came here."
As soon as Lian Mingli's words fell, Li Zi stood up and shouted loudly: "What did you say? Can your dad plant? ”
Lian Mingli looked at him suspiciously and said, "Yes, not only my father can plant, but my uncle will also plant." ”
Hearing this, Li Zi couldn't sit still, and immediately pulled Lian Mingli and said eagerly: "Take me to see your father and uncle." ”
Lian Mingli twisted his head and looked at Li Zi: "Steward Li, are you in a hurry?" ”
"100,000 urgent."
"Okay."
Seeing that Lian Mingli responded, Li Zi directly picked up Xiao Philo who was blinking and didn't speak with one hand, pulled Lian Mingli with the other, and hurriedly walked out.
It was too freezing, and there was no one walking outside, and the group of three soon arrived at Lian's house.
The little girl even Philo shouted at the top of her voice: "Dad, mother, Steward Li is here." ”
The two brothers, who were talking in the house, heard the sounds in the courtyard, looked at each other, and then hurried out of the house.
The Xu family and the Jiang family also came out of the kitchen quickly and brought a bowl of hot water to Li Zi and the Lian brothers.
Lian Jing beckoned to Li Zi: "Steward Li, please take a seat." It's still coming over on such a freezing day, but what's the matter? ”
"Hmm. There is indeed something going on here today. Even the two heads of the family are here, so I'll just say it. ”
"Please."
"You two know how to grow potatoes?"
Shout!
Li Zi's words fell, Lian Jing and Lian Qin looked at each other, and then thought that Xiao Luo'er was being held by Steward Li, and the two seemed to understand something.
Lian Jing arched his hand and said: "If you go back to the manager, the two grass brothers have never planted it, but they have heard how to plant it." ”
"Well, let's try it next year."
"Listen to Lee."
Seeing that the two nodded in response, Li Zi said loudly: "Okay, that's it." But can you show me those potatoes? I also have a bottom in my heart. ”
Lian Jing and Lian Qin glanced at each other, and then the two made a "please" gesture towards Li Zi, and the three of them walked straight towards the utility room in the courtyard.
Opening the cellar in the utility room, after a few breaths, Lian Jing took the lead in walking down the wooden ladder into the cellar.
Plums followed.
Lian Qin walked last, and took a not very large basket from the utility room by the way.
When I entered the cellar and looked at the potatoes piled up on the ground, the plums were full of stars, and I couldn't wait to plant these potatoes in the ground immediately.
When he was happy, Lian Qin had already packed a basket of potatoes according to his brother Lian Jing's wishes, and was ready to send the plums to his residence in a while.
There were seven or eight hundred catties of potatoes visually, and Li Zi pondered in his heart again.
So, he raised his head and looked at the two brothers of the Lian family and said, "Second master, are these all used as seeds for next year?" ”
The corners of Lian Qin's mouth rose slightly, and he said in a low voice: "If there is no accident, these will be planted as seeds in April next year." ”
"Ouch, that's great. Regardless of the outcome, Li Zi thanked the two masters again. After saying this, Li Zi threw his hand towards the two.
Lian Qin immediately flashed to the side, and Lian Jing said while flashing: "Steward Li, my two brothers are still prisoners, and they have been taken care of by Steward Li these days." Please rest assured, my brothers and sisters will be optimistic about these potatoes. ”
Listening to Lian Jing's words, Li Zi nodded appreciatively, he was willing to help, although it was entrusted and mentioned by Meng Yi and a few people at the beginning, but for Li Zi who came out of the army, whether to help or not depends on whether this person's character is worth it.
As the saying goes, "generals are not subject to military orders abroad", not to mention that these people are still exiled prisoners, and they want Li Zi to help, this is not something you say will help.
Although this family has not been here for a long time, he can see clearly that this Lian Jing family is not a simple one, and even Lian Qin, who is very close to Lian Jing's family, is also a person who looks silly but has a clear heart.
Looking at the two of them meaningfully, and thinking about the lady of the Lian Jing family from the General's Mansion, Li Zi felt that this was the best opportunity for him to guard Yushan for so many years.
So, he nodded and walked out of the cellar first.
house.
The three sat down again.
Li Zi was not polite, and directly took out a letter from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Lian Jing: "Lian Ye, this is a handwritten letter from General Xu, because it is not good to carry the burden, I only brought some silver money to the second master." ”
After speaking, he took out two rolls of silver tickets from his other sleeve pocket and placed them on the table one by one.
When Lian Jing and Lian Qin heard this, they all looked at Li Zi in surprise, they didn't understand, how long had they been in Yushan, how could they have their letters and money?
Seeing the suspicions of the two, Li Zi laughed.
After a while, Li Zi said to the two: "Don't hide it, after the two masters arrived in Yushan, Li sent someone to the capital to inquire about the news." ”
"This comes and goes, it takes a lot of time, and Li really doesn't know what General Meng Xiao and those people mean, so he hasn't helped the two masters."
"A few days ago, the people sent out brought back a handwritten letter from General Xu Lao and Wu Shilang, and Li knew that the two masters were implicated. I was thinking about when to help, but I didn't expect to meet the second master who wanted to set up another portal..."
Hearing Li Zi say this, Lian Jing and Lian Qin also suddenly realized that Li Zi helped them because of the news from the capital.
I'm afraid it won't be as simple as the news...
Li Zi, who had been paying attention to the two of them, naturally caught the doubts flashing in the eyes of the two, but he didn't say it.
Truly.
The people sent out not only brought back the handwritten letters of Xuzhou and Wu Shijie, but also brought back a box, and the contents of that box were for his plums.
At this point, though, he changed his mind.
He decided to give the box to the little girl who could talk with her eyes in Lian Jing's house.
The little girl is rich, and if she wants to eat roast chicken or pastries, she can buy it herself.
If she meets the girl of the Ouyang family and can't grab it, she can wave her hand and pull out a silver ticket and let people smash it with silver.
Grandma is a bear, and such a cute and cute little doll is also bullied, it's really unreasonable...
