Chapter 164 Picking Sosou
When Lu Jin looked at her, his eyes were not as gentle and affectionate as when he looked at Lin Xiaoman, but as cold as if they were covered with ice, "Why should I protect you? I am involved in the rebellion, so I will not kill you."
They all want you to be punished and make meritorious deeds. Now that the net is wide open, you still dare to divert misfortune to the east?"
Xu Yuanru was heartbroken. After a while, she sat down on the ground and cried: "You are not such a bully. What did I do to rebel? I was also arrested, right? I won't help them."
They want to kill me for transporting things, what can I do? I even helped you catch the rebels, but you just throw them away after you use them, and you don’t acknowledge it, right?"
Lin Xiaoman winked at Lu Jin and told him not to push people too much. Lu Jin also winked at her and told her not to worry.
Yao and others were in the house listening to the crying and fussing outside. They came out to see what was going on. When they saw Xu Yuanru sitting on the ground acting recklessly, Yao exclaimed, "This is not the third girl from the Xu family.
Why did you chase the master all the way to Wuzhou Prefecture? Tsk, tsk, the ghost is really lingering."
Xu Yuanru glared at her fiercely, and Yao hurriedly said: "Come on, I'm not here to annoy people, so why are I glaring at them?"
Yao took her two daughters into the house, but Lin Goudan stood in the yard and refused to leave, "Second sister, why is she so annoying? She wanted to kidnap me last time, but fortunately I am smart, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see her again.
Sister. I opened the door and you could throw her out."
Lin Xiaoman smiled softly, "Be good, Goudan, go back to the house and play, don't worry about the things outside."
"Okay!" Lin Goudan agreed and returned to the house, making a face at Xu Yuanru before entering.
Xu Yuanru was crying vigorously, but she couldn't cry after being interrupted like this. She sat on the ground and couldn't hold her face up without anyone to help her.
Xu Qiuliang and Uncle Lin went drinking together and came back drunk. When they entered the door, they saw Xu Yuanru sitting in the yard. Xu Qiuliang let out a sigh and looked at Lin Xiaoman and Lu Jin sitting opposite her on the small bench.<
/p>
Sighing, "Yuan Ru, I don't want to beg for nothing. Lu Xiaoliu doesn't like you, so why don't you hang yourself from a tree?"
Xu Yuanru looked at Xu Qiuliang and called softly: "Second uncle..."
She was not the original owner, and she did not have much family ties with Xu Qiuliang, but now she felt aggrieved by Xu Qiuliang's persuasion, as if she had found someone who could make the decision for her.
Unexpectedly, Xu Qiuliang sighed next: "Hey, don't say that I am your second uncle outside from now on, I can't afford to embarrass that person."
Xu Yuanru's face turned dark, and she stood up from the ground, but she heard Lu Jin say: "It's okay if you want me to protect you. As long as you do one thing for me, after it is completed, I will have someone change your identity.
Go live somewhere else.”
Xu Yuanru didn't expect that Lu Jin, who had always been shy, would suddenly agree. After being confused for a while, she said in surprise: "Really?"
Lu Jin nodded, "For the sake of your second uncle, as long as you can complete the tasks I gave you, I will never break your promise."
"Sure! As long as you can keep me safe, no matter how many things happen, no matter how many things you say." As long as you can save her life, she doesn't care about whose face it is.
Lu Jin shook his head, "That's all I need. I will send you away and change your appearance later. As long as you no longer seek your own death, no one will want to harm you again."
After saying that, without waiting for Xu Yuanru to show her loyalty, she whispered a few words to Qingshu who had been watching the excitement for a long time. Qingshu's eyes became brighter and brighter, "As you command!"
After receiving the task, Qingshu left with Xu Yuanru who was feeling uneasy. Lin Xiaoman was curious about what task Lu Jin wanted Xu Yuanru to do and whether there was any danger.
When Lu Jin saw her, he whispered in her ear: "Ask her to move me to a new house."
Seeing that Lin Xiaoman still looked puzzled, Lu Jin had to say: "In the future, the surrounding areas of Qingping County will be our family's fiefdom, and we will never return to the capital. People will always worry about our family's things if they are left there, so why not move them all?"
Come here."
Lin Xiaoman smiled, "It seems that what you said is true. This is the first time I have heard that the Qipin County Magistrate also has a fiefdom. This is too exaggerated."
Lu Jin shook his head, "The fief is not for me, but for you."
"Me...mine?" Lin Xiaoman couldn't help but laugh, "You have such a beautiful idea. My family has been farming for generations. I haven't heard that farming can produce a fiefdom. You just know how to make me happy."
Lu Jin exclaimed, "People have been farming for generations, but no one has grown new grains. The grains you brought out can solve the country's food problem. Not to mention other things, just one of sweet potatoes and potatoes is enough for you."
I have been granted the title of Lord of a County. We will wait until the rewards of potatoes and sweet potatoes come down before sending the corn up, so as not to send them all at once and someone will have to pick and dig at the rewards."
Without even thinking, Lin Xiaoman could guess who Lu Jin was talking about.
But fiefdom, she wouldn't even dare to dream about it. Lin Xiaoman prefers large tracts of land to rewards like gold, silver and jewelry.
When Lin Xiaoman thought about being able to grow the crops he wanted on his land, he began to think about what he would plant on the land next year if he could get it this year.
Sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn must be planted, and they must be planted in large quantities. Not only will there be fragrant sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn to eat, but also more delicacies can be made.
In addition to food, Lin Xiaoman also wants to plant fruit trees, such as peaches that can hold big peaches, big fragrant and sweet grapes, and various kinds of cantaloupes, melons, and large watermelons.
It's a pity that they are located in the north and cannot grow fruits grown in the south.
But if Lu Jin has the ability, let him grow some new varieties of fruits in the south, and let him try bananas without seeds and not sour, lychees with thick flesh and small cores, lemons that can be soaked in honey water... Oh my, I can't think of it.
, my mouth watered just thinking about it.
Lu Jin heard the sound of Lin Xiaoman sucking saliva, and thought she was thinking of what delicious food to make again, with a look of anticipation on her face, "What kind of delicious food has Xiaoman thought of again?"
What kind of delicious food can he make? Not to mention that he didn’t bring many ingredients when he came, and even using local ingredients, Lin Xiaoman didn’t have much to do. After thinking about it, Lin Xiaoman asked: “What do you want to eat?”
Lu Jin wanted to eat more, but his favorite was the fish cooked by Lin Xiaoman, so he said happily: "Why don't you eat fish?"
"Eating fish?" Lin Xiaoman was a little worried.
In fact, what she hates cooking the most is fish. It smells fishy when she kills it, when she cooks it, and when she cleans up the pots and pans.
But seeing Lu Jin looking at him eagerly, he nodded, "Okay, let's eat fish."
After hearing this, Lu Jin happily went out to buy fish, and soon came back with four slaughtered large grass carp.
"Why is this fish still ready to be killed?"
Lu Jin said: "I asked the fish seller to help kill the fish, and the scales were scraped off. You tell me how to do it, and I will do it. You just put it in the pot and cook it."
Lin Xiaoman didn't expect that there was also a business of killing fish on behalf of her. Apparently Lu Jin saw that she didn't like fish, so she had to kill the fish carefully.
