Chapter 62: Something Goes Wrong with the Pepper
Since seeing Panjiao in the town, Zhao Yunlan has always been distracted by doing things, and she has to go to the town every day to have a look, thinking that she can see that Sun Steward again.
Li Mingyi looked at Zhao Yunlan and was not in a state of settling accounts, so he asked, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you these days?" ”
Zhao Yunlan thought about it for many days but didn't come up with any good way, so she had to say to Li Mingyi: "Do you remember the flowers on the oxcart that day in Steward Sun?" ”
Li Mingyi: "Well, sister-in-law, do you also want to raise flowers?" I do know that there is a flower and bird collection in the county, and I can go and see it when I have time, but we can't afford to buy those flowers for Steward Sun. ”
Zhao Yunlan: "No, I mean the pepper." I read a book before, and there was a picture of the pepper that it looked like, from a seedling to a growing flower, and it blossomed and fruited. And it is said that the pepper is edible, but the taste is more choking than dogwood. ”
Li Mingyi's eyes moved: "Where did my sister-in-law read the book?" What is your name? ”
Zhao Yunlan flickered for a while: "I read it when I went to Fucheng last time, but I don't remember what the book was." ”
Li Mingyi thought to himself, sister-in-law, whether this is good luck or bad luck! Every time I read a book, I can read some famous halls, and ask the title of the book! Hey, I just don't remember. Ay~
Zhao Yunlan continued: "I came to the town these days to see if I could wait for Steward Sun, if I can have a relationship with him, and when their peppers bear fruit, we will be cheeky and ask for some to try the taste, maybe ......."
Li Mingyi: "Maybe it's useful for our hot and sour noodles, but Steward Sun hasn't been here for a few days." ”
Zhao Yunlan: "When does he usually come over?" ”
Li Mingyi: "I can't say clearly, the time of Sun Guan is not fixed. ”
Zhao Yunlan sighed.
Li Mingyi: "Sister-in-law, you go back first, and I'll see if I can find Steward Sun." ”
Zhao Yunlan had no better way, so she had to go back to Lijia Village first.
A few days later, Li Mingren still didn't wait for Steward Sun, so he thought about going to the door to find this Steward Sun after closing, but it happened that Steward Sun came to eat hot and sour noodles.
Li Mingyi took the hot and sour noodles to Steward Sun and said, "Steward Sun hasn't come to eat hot and sour noodles for several days." ”
Steward Sun: "Hey~ I've been very busy these days!" There was a problem with the last batch of flowers, and recently the old lady came to inquire every day. ”
When Li Mingyi heard this, he hurriedly inquired: "What's wrong?" ”
Steward Sun: "The last few tribute pepper flowers, the leaves have grown spots these days, and they don't look good, and the gardeners in the house can't do anything, and the old lady is distressed." ”
Li Mingyi thought for a while: "Otherwise, I will recommend one person to Steward Sun." ”
Steward Sun was puzzled: "Brother Mingyi has a master? To say that the florists in our house are all found from all over Jinzhou City. ”
Li Mingyi was a little worried, afraid that he had hurt his sister-in-law, so he just thought about it. Steward Sun continued: "Hey~ You call that person, our old lady is also a loving person, even if he can't save the flower, he won't blame it." ”
Li Mingyi breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Dare to ask which noble family is in Steward Sun's mansion?" ”
Steward Sun looked around and whispered: "Our lord is the prefect of Jinzhou Liu, and the old lady was the prince and young master when he was an official in the court. ”
Li Mingyi was surprised, he didn't expect that this was still a powerful person, and he wanted to ask why this big man would come to this small place to cultivate Zhuangzi, but when he saw that Steward Sun got up and left, he didn't speak again.
After the shop closed in the afternoon, Li Mingyi explained to Wang Tiezhu and returned to Lijia Village.
Zhao Yunlan saw Li Mingyi coming back and hurriedly asked, "Second brother, is there a letter?" ”
Li Mingyi: "Sister-in-law, let's go first." ”
Old man Li watched Li Mingyi go home in the hall, and shouted happily: "Mingyi! Come back, your sister-in-law has made some good dishes today, and she can eat more at night, and she has been busy losing weight recently. ”
Li Mingren saw Li Mingyi come back, and was thinking that his eyes were a little tired and he came out to relax, so he listened to his father's words, and then looked at Mingyi, "With this physique, it is stronger than me."
Old man Li glanced at Li Mingren and continued: "Boss, how are you learning every day, you can't pass the little test that Yunlan got for you, huh~ Eat so much every day, you can't study, and you can't work." ”
Li Mingren roared in his heart, why is it always me who is hurt!
Li Mingyi couldn't help but want to laugh, but Zhao Yunlan was not surprised, so he asked anxiously: "Is there any news about that pepper?" ”
Li Mingyi: "Yes! Sister-in-law, this ......"
Zhao Yunlan: "Say anything quickly." ”
"Sister-in-law, I may have cheated you. There was a problem with their peppers, and they said that the gardeners in the house couldn't do anything. I said that you would plant that pepper, and Steward Sun said that you would go to the Zhuangzi for a trip. ”
Zhao Yunlan was thinking: I have seen this pepper planting before, but I didn't plant it myself.
"Well, then I'll go check it out first!" Zhao Yunlan said.
Li Mingyi: "Well, the steward of my sister-in-law's grandson said that the old lady of their family is very good, and he was still a young master before, and their master is the prefect of this Jinzhou City." Brother, what is the official position of this young master? ”
Li Mingren was surprised: "There is such a powerful figure in this small Qingshui Town, this young master is also a teacher who assists the prince in his studies, and his official position is lower than that of the prince!" ”
Zhao Yunlan thought to herself, if she continued to take the exam in the future, if she could invite this young master to guide Li Mingren, it would be enough.
Li Mingren has a good relationship with Zhao Yunlan at this time, but he doesn't dare to expect extravagance, after all, at this level, he is embarrassed to be ugly. Anyway, I have to take a show, and I am embarrassed to ask for advice when I enter this course.
Li Mingren continued to say to Zhao Yunlan: "I heard from the master of the school that the prefect of Jinzhou City was transferred last year, and he was honest and upright, and the county order of our Xihe County was also recommended by him to take office. ”
Zhao Yunlan nodded understandingly, she has been here for so long, and there has been no oppression of the people in the town and county, the people here are simple and comfortable.
Zhao Yunlan turned her head and asked Li Mingyi: "Did Steward Sun say when he was going?" ”
Li Mingyi: "I didn't say it, but I think it should be as soon as possible, let's go tomorrow!" Tomorrow, my sister-in-law will go to the shop and wait, I will ask Steward Sun first, and then I will tell my sister-in-law. ”
Li Mingren said beside him: "Then I'll go together tomorrow." ”
Zhao Yunlan: "You don't still have to study at home, you don't have to go, I'll do it myself tomorrow." ”
Li Mingren: "I happen to be going to the town tomorrow to buy pen and ink. ”
Zhao Yunlan stopped talking, so she had to agree to Li Mingren to go together.
Li Mingren smiled at Old Man Li: "Dad, let's drive the cattle tomorrow." ”
Old man Li gave Li Mingren a roll of his eyes: "Hmph~ I think about beautiful things every day." ”
Li Mingren could only silently shut his mouth.
Xiaobao was led into the house by Li Mingmei, but said cutely: "Daddy, what do you want to do?" ”
A room full of people burst into laughter.
