Chapter 18: Strange Tales of the Countryside

The snow melts, and everything recovers.

The continuous drizzle, with a hint of coolness, moistens the dry land after winter.

Spring is the time when farming is busy.

Considering that most of the disciples were children of peasant families, Qin Yu decided to take a month's vacation and let these children return to their hometowns with their parents to help plant seedlings.

Such a move was approved by Yang Zhixian.

Grain has always been the top problem faced by the people, not to mention the locust plague last autumn, which led to the reduction of grain production in Youlan County. Therefore, the planting and reclamation of rice seedlings in the spring of this year is the focus of Youlan County.

The children in the school, although they are all eight or nine years old. At this age, it is impossible for them to cultivate wasteland, but they can also help with things like rice planting.

And Qin Yu's choice to take a one-month holiday at this busiest time is still very helpful for Yang Zhixian's policy decision.

The school, where the sound of Lang reading aloud is heard every day, has become quiet because of the holidays.

The bustling and noisy streets are also a little less crowded than usual, and it looks quite lonely.

Half a month has passed in a blink of an eye.

Qin Yu would flip through the collection of books in the school on weekdays, or go out of the city to enjoy the scenery, and by the way, enjoy the beautiful young lady.

Extraordinary demeanor, handsome appearance.

The name Qin Yu began to appear frequently in the mouths of these young ladies. When he learned that this person was actually a student of Liyang Egret Academy, his heart was even more moved, and he often took his personal maid to wander around the vicinity of Baicao Academy, hoping for a beautiful encounter.

The county seat is not big, and many things are semi-public.

Some families in the city, after getting the exact news about Qin Yu's identity from Yang Zhixian, went home to find out their daughter's tone.

After seeing the shy look, as the parents of the people who came over, where would they not know that this was willing, so they began to look for a matchmaker and wanted to end this family business.

Egret Academy, this reputation is too loud, if you can recruit this potential Golden Beetle son-in-law, it is definitely a thing that can wake up with a smile when you sleep.

As a result, Qin Yu realized what it means to be a matchmaker stepping on a low threshold.

In the past few days, almost all of them have met with different matchmakers, and what they said is nothing more than that:

Whoever is the girl of the family, beautiful and wise, virtuous and virtuous, is Mr. Qin's good admiration.

Who's girl, handsome, knowledgeable, can add fragrance to red sleeves in the middle of the night.

Of course, these are not the most, the most is a matchmaker hired by the Wang family, this old Biden saw that the other matchmakers were trying their best to introduce the girl of whom's family, and he couldn't interject at all.

She was good, and shouted directly with a broken voice: "The daughter of the Cao family has a good ass and can have more children for the Qin family in the future." ”

As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly fell silent.

Because the other matchmakers have indeed seen the daughter of the Cao family, it is indeed as described.

Anyway, the farce is one after another.

After Qin Yu finally sent these enthusiastic ladies out of the door, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, and was about to close the door, but at this moment, the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion appeared at the door.

Qin Yu saw him with some surprise on his face.

"Mr. Qin, I don't know if I can be free now, the master wants to invite Gongzi Qin to come over for a while." The old man smiled slightly and arched his hand.

Liu looked for what he could do.

Qin Yu couldn't help muttering in his heart, he originally wanted to refuse, because the plan for the afternoon was to go out of the city to fish for a while and avoid those matchmakers, but considering that Liu Xun had helped him before, he hesitated for a while, but he still didn't refuse.

"I'll wait here for a while, I'll close the door of the study, it's a little humid now, I'm afraid it will rain in the afternoon, and I'll wet the books inside."

"Mr. Qin is at his own convenience." The old man's butler nodded and said with a smile.

After seeing Qin Yu enter, he waved towards the entrance of the alley, and soon someone came in with a carriage.

...

When Qin Yu came to Liu's living room, Master Liu was already waiting inside. And on the seat next to him, there was also a gorgeous young woman in her thirties, plump and still beautiful.

After seeing Qin Yu come in, a pair of eyes that were quite charming began to look him up and down.

How can I say it, Qin Yu was a little hairy when he looked at this look, because there was a lot of scrutiny in this gaze, a bit like the gaze of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.

But it's not right, this Liu Xun only has one son, and I haven't heard of a daughter.

Qin Yu couldn't figure out what the other party was thinking, but after all, this woman was someone else's daughter, so she just glanced at it quickly with her afterglow, and then set her eyes on Liu Xun.

"Liu Weng, I haven't seen you for many days." Qin Yu said with a smile on his face.

"Haha, I haven't seen you for many days, presumably Mr. Qin's days have been very troublesome recently." Liu Xun smiled slightly and said teasingly. Obviously, he has also heard about the recent events.

"Liu Weng is making fun of him."

"The recent incident about Mr. Qin can be described as a big anecdote in Youlan County, almost none of the matchmakers who have a roster in the government have been there once or twice, but I heard that Mr. Qin has not agreed to any of them. Why, isn't it true that Qin Gongzi didn't take a fancy to these ladies. ”

Liu Xunyu glanced at the lady sitting on the side, and asked as if he meant something else.

Qin Yu shook his head with a wry smile and said:

"In the next white dress, it is already panicked to be favored by the young ladies, how can I say that I can't look down on it, but I am still studying in the academy and have not considered marriage."

Hearing this reason, Liu Xun was a little speechless, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

But at this moment, the young woman spoke slowly, and her voice was charming.

"The male should get married, the female should be married, and the concubine should be in his twenties, isn't the parents in the family in a hurry, and this marriage will not affect the school."

"This ....."

The young woman's words made Qin Yu not know how to answer.

At this moment, in the courtyard outside, a subordinate was running towards here sweating profusely. It seemed that he was in a hurry, and he didn't notice the situation in the hall, so he rushed in directly.

"Master, something is wrong, something strange has happened in Yunhe Village."

These words frightened Liu Xun and his wife.

As for Qin Yu, he frowned. Strange? Speaking of which, it's up to the spirit.

"Don't worry, what's going on, you speak slowly."

Liu Xun was a little worried on his face, this world is not peaceful, if something strange happened in Yunhe Village to delay the spring sowing, the loss would be too great.

Qin Yu, who was standing on the side, did not leave, and looked at him with the same eyes, wondering what was going on.

The servant who appeared gasped for breath, and then told the story of the matter.

It turned out that Yunhe Village, which is less than 100 miles away from Youlan County, has recently happened some strange things, and the son of a farmer's family has gone to the cemetery every night since he got married, and his health is not as good as day by day. Rumors are now rife in the village that it is a ghost.

Hearing that this was the reason, Liu Xun's expression was a little surprised, and he hurriedly asked: "Is there any casualty, and will it affect the spring sowing?" ”

"There are no casualties, and it will not affect the sowing of spring, but this matter is a little strange, I am afraid that this man will not live long in a short time, and now the people in the village are also panicking."

Liu Xun got up, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "In this way, you immediately go to Tongyou City, invite Daochang Zhang, and let him go to Yunhe Village to see what is going on." ”

"Master, it's been four or five days since this back and forth, and when Daochang Zhang comes, I'm afraid that the man will die."

"Then what else can be done now, it can't affect the rest of the village."

After hearing this, the man said yes and turned around to leave.

At this moment, Qin Yu stood up and said, "Liu Weng, it's better to be like this, that Daoist Zhang doesn't need to be invited, the affairs of Yunhe Village will be taken care of." ”

"Mr. Qin, this may be an evil thing, not a joke."

"It's okay, Liu Weng doesn't have to forget, he is a student of Egret Academy, and he is not afraid of these things." Qin Yu said calmly.

Hearing this, Liu Xun reacted immediately, and immediately showed joy on his face, and said again and again: "How can I forget this, but Mr. Qin is sure?" ”

"Whether you are sure or not is only known after understanding. However, this matter should not be delayed, and we will set off for Yunhe Village later. ”

"This is no better, if Mr. Qin can solve this crisis, there will be a good reward in the future."

"Liu Weng doesn't have to be polite, if it can be solved this time, he should repay what he asked for before."

After Qin Yu finished speaking, he took his leave.

As for the subordinates standing in the hall, they took him out of here at Liu Xun's instructions.

After the two left, Liu Xun's wife looked at Qin Yu's back and said in a low voice: "Husband, this person's future is limitless, after he comes back, he will let Qi'er marry him no matter what." ”

"This matter can't be rushed, let's talk about it when he can come back alive."

Liu Xun looked at Qin Yu's back, his eyes flickering slightly.
