"I heard that Mr. Xu has been ill these past few days. Is he feeling better? I came here specifically to visit him today."
"My master's condition is not very good. The doctor said that he has caught wind and cold, and he is still having a fever. Madam specifically ordered that until my master recovers, he will not see any guests... So, Mr. Lin, I would like to ask you
Go back first and come back after my master is well."
"this......"
Lin Xu really wanted to meet Xu Shouchun and find out from him the purpose of the magistrate's Yamen purchasing so much black powder. However, since everyone had said so, he was embarrassed to say that he wanted to go in again.
Besides, even if he continues to ask for an audience, he might not be able to meet anyone.
"In that case, okay..."
Lin Xu handed a gift box in his hand to the old man: "These are some ginseng and velvet antlers I brought to Mr. Xu. Please pass them to Mr. Xu for me and say hello to me. I hope Mr. Xu will recover soon."
"Don't worry, Boss Lin, I will definitely bring you! I will definitely bring you!"
The old man took the things, leaned over again, limped in, and closed the door.
"Sir, what should we do now?"
Chen Qingyu asked.
"What else can we do? Go back!"
Lin Xu said with a bitter smile.
...
"Sir, why are you back so soon?"
When Yueyao saw Lin Xu coming back, she immediately greeted him happily.
"I didn't have enough face, so I came back naturally after being rejected."
Lin Xu said mockingly.
"Sir, are you going to see Mr. Xu?"
Yueyao guessed.
"Huh? How do you know?"
"Not only do I know that you are going to see Mr. Xu, but I also know why you are going to see Mr. Xu!"
Yue Yao said with the corner of her mouth raised.
"Really? Then tell me, why did I go to see Mr. Xu?"
Lin Xu asked with interest.
"In order to find out why the prefect's Yamen purchased so much black powder at this time!"
Yueyao said very confidently!
"You! What a clever little guy!"
Lin Xu stretched out his hand and pinched Yueyao's nose, sat down on the chair, and sighed: "It's a pity that I didn't see Mr. Xu's face! However, I always feel that there is something wrong here! There has been no rain these days.
It has stopped, and this is not a sudden weather, but it happens every year around the Dragon Boat Festival! Black gunpowder is something that must not be soaked in water! What emergency can happen to the prefect’s Yamen? Do you have to buy black powder at this time?
"
Yueyao walked behind Lin Xu, stretched out her fingers as delicate as green onions, and placed them on Lin Xu's temples. She pressed them gently and said, "There is indeed something fishy about this matter, but, these days,
Are weird things rare enough? Since you can’t understand it, then don’t think about it. If you are not in your position and do not seek to govern, this is not something we should be concerned about in the first place.”
"Haha, you are trying another trick to accuse me of being nosy!"
Lin Xu said with a smile.
"I don't dare to say that, otherwise, I will be punished severely by sir?"
Yueyao's breath was like blue, and her words were filled with a hint of naughtiness and an unspeakable temptation.
"Hey, even if you didn't say it with your mouth, you must have said it in your heart! In short, you will be punished by me today!"
Lin Xu deliberately emphasized the word "harsh" very hard!
"Mr. Bully!"
Yueyao pouted and acted coquettishly!
"You are right this time, I just want to bully you, and I will bully you severely!"
As Lin Xu said this, he stood up, walked around behind the chair, picked her up with Yue Yao, and walked towards the bedroom inside!
