Lin Jingzhi left Aunt Yu's small courtyard and went straight to the study. He sat on the chair and twisted around, feeling uneasy.
Whether they can get the official documents for digging rivers and reclaiming wasteland is a big deal. It can be said that these two pieces of paper are enough to affect the future development direction of the Lin family, and even whether they have the capital to fight against Tian Ji and others.
Shi Mo stood aside and waited quietly. Several times he wanted to speak out to persuade, but after opening his mouth, he did not say anything. After all, he also knew that this matter was too important, and this little liver has been hanging on.
The sun slowly moved westward from above the head, and the light gradually dimmed. The sky and the earth joined together from the horizon and turned into a golden color. The two people in the room became even more restless. One walked around, and the other had a full face.
of anxiety.
It was not until late in the evening that there was finally a burst of hurried footsteps outside the study. Lin Jingzhi turned around and walked a few steps towards the door. He saw the door opened wide and the butler Xu Fu walked in with sweat on his head.
"Second Master, it's done. The two official documents have been completed." Xu Fu took out two official documents from his arms without taking a break to drink tea. Lin Jingzhi took two hurried steps and quickly took them into his hands to look at them carefully. He looked at them carefully for a long time.
Finally, he laughed heartily.
It was clearly written in the official document that the wasteland was already the property of the Lin family, and the approval document for the river channel was also very formal, with the government's red square seal printed underneath, and because the imperial court currently had no plans to open a canal.
, so there is no specific indication of which river can be dug to draw water from. This will be more conducive to the Lin family's land reclamation and canal digging.
"Steward Xu, then Liu Biao must be familiar with bribing officials, why did it take so long?" Lin Jingzhi finally put his heart into his stomach and asked his doubts.
Xu Fu sat on the chair, wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeves, took the warm tea handed by Shi Mo and drank it all in two sips. It seemed that he was walking in a hurry on the way back home, "Go back to the Second Master
, this was mainly because Liu Biao’s immediate boss fell in love with his concubine, and Liu Biao was reluctant to part with it, so it was delayed for a long time.”
"Oh? There's also this matter. Did Liu Biao send his concubine away in the end?" Lin Jingzhi felt a trace of curiosity in his heart.
Xu Fu nodded and said: "Originally Liu Biao planned to spend an extra thousand taels of silver, but his immediate boss refused to approve it. If that person didn't approve it, he would not be able to send it further. In the end, Liu Biao
In desperation, I had no choice but to ask my slave to send my concubine to my boss's house."
"Oh!" Lin Jingzhi responded lightly.
Xu Fu sat on the chair, drank another cup of warm tea, and then frowned and said: "Second Master, Liu Biao just gave away a beloved concubine. I think he is in a bad mood. Do you think we should give the money earlier?"
Send it to him?"
"Well, that's fine, but when you give him the money, you have to remind him that this matter can't be leaked out in the near future. You can keep an eye on it then. If he doesn't pay attention to this matter, he will be careless.
, the attitude can be tougher." Lin Jingzhi thought for a while before giving careful instructions.
Xu Fu responded, took the banknote handed over by Lin Jingzhi, and hurried out.
"Second Master, you can finally rest assured." Shi Mo handed Lin Jingzhi a cup of tea and said with a smile on his face.
Lin Jingzhi first smiled and nodded, then patted his forehead and said: "Look at my brain, I only care about being happy. Let's go, let's tell the old lady the great news. I want to come to her."
The old man has been thinking about this matter in his heart!"
After saying that, he put the cup on the table, turned around and walked out of the hut. Waiter Mo responded and raised his legs to follow.
Tang Yuxiang thought about it all afternoon today and decided to find a breakthrough in Lin Jingzhi. Didn't he like to eat his own food, so he just wanted to use delicious food to please him in exchange for a chance to get out of the Lin Mansion.
Lin Jingzhi walked halfway when he met the maid who told him to have dinner, so he changed his direction and went straight to the restaurant.
As soon as he stepped into the hall door, he was greeted by the strong aroma of rice. He was already in a good mood, his stomach growled, and his appetite suddenly increased. But today, Tang Yuxiang was quite abnormal. Not only was his face full of smiles,
This made her even more beautiful, and she even stepped forward to help him roll up his long sleeves to avoid accidentally spilling the vegetable soup while eating.
Lin Jingzhi was stunned at first, and then his eyes widened. Could it be that the sun came out from the west today? Tang Yuxiang actually smiled at him!
While he was stunned, Tang Yuxiang had already taken out her personal silk handkerchief and helped him gently wipe away the sweat that had leaked from his forehead when he had just walked in a hurry.
A woman's underwear will always carry body fragrance. Lin Jingzhi sniffed it unconsciously and saw Tang Yuxiang's face turn red, and then her movements became natural again.
Mrs. Lin sat in the upper seat, with a happy smile on her face, but in her heart, she was secretly trying to figure out whether her grandson-in-law and her grandson had been sharing a bedroom together for a long time, and secret feelings had arisen.
This little girl has
She asked her grandson to help with something. After all, she had lived for more than fifty years. She still understood the saying that if something went wrong, she would be a monster. However, Lin Jingzhi cared too much about Tang Yuxiang, so he didn't notice it for a while.
normal.
After wiping away Lin Jingzhi's sweat, Tang Yuxiang did not step back. Instead, she walked to the dining table with the cheap husband. Lin Jingzhi let his sweet wife support him, and was inexplicably surprised.
Could it be that God opened his eyes and not only allowed the two official documents to be completed smoothly, but also made Tang Yuxiang change her original intention and have a sense of belonging to herself?
Until he sat firmly on the chair, Lin Jingzhi was still a little elated. Although he knew that he was very useless for taking pleasure in such a trivial matter, this kind of joy that came from the bottom of his heart was really exciting.
.
Looking at the curve of surprise on the corner of Lin Jingzhi's mouth, Tang Yuxiang's heart trembled inexplicably. She could no longer smile as naturally as before. In order to cover up, she quickly said: "Second Master, you have been tired all day long.
I’ll have to eat more later.”
"Yes, today Yu Xiang went to the kitchen herself in order to make you eat better. You see, this table of dishes is all cooked by Yu Xiang for you. Well, I'm afraid there are more than ten kinds of dishes." Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Lin
Pointing at the food on the table, he said with a smile.
After hearing this, Lin Jingzhi was excited again, but when he accidentally met Mrs. Lin's eyes, he was stunned. It wasn't until Tang Yuxiang spoke again that he came back to his senses and glanced at Jiao Jiao.
Wife, thoughtful.
Tang Yuxiang took the bamboo chopsticks and first served a dish to Mrs. Lin. Then she turned her head and served another dish to Lin Jingzhi and explained: "Second Master, although it is almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is still very hot.
"You have been busy all day today, so you must be too hot. This dish is called stir-fried snails. It has the effect of preventing heatstroke and cooling down the body temperature. Please try it first to see if it smells good?"
First, he smiled at Tang Yuxiang, then Lin Jingzhi picked up the jade chopsticks, put the dish into his mouth, and after eating a few bites of the snail meat, he praised: "Yu Xiang's cooking is better than that of my Lin family chef."
Still high.”
"Yes, Sister Yuxiang is really capable. In addition to being good at cooking, she also has good medical skills." Lin Zhou, who had not spoken until now, knew how to be a good person, and quickly praised her in agreement.
"No way, my sister-in-law knows how to make fun of me." Tang Yuxiang said modestly with a red face, then turned around, stretched out the chopsticks to another plate, and said: "Second Master, you have been studying since you were a child, and you are very good at it.
Diligence is the only way to pass the examination at the age of fourteen. I must have stayed up late before. This dish is called braised grass carp. It has the effect of protecting the liver and improving eyesight. If you eat it often in the future, you will not be afraid of studying all night."
Originally, Tang Yuxiang had made up her mind to please Lin Jingzhi in exchange for a trip outside the house. But for some reason, as she talked, she felt that this cheap husband had many advantages. She used to take care of this person for meals.
, the scenes of taking the medicine flashed through my mind, my heart felt blocked, the corners of my eyes were a little sore, and I felt like I wanted to cry.
Just when she couldn't figure out why she felt this way, she felt a light flick of the chopsticks. It turned out that Lin Jingzhi saw that she hadn't put the fish meat into her small bowl for a long time. He rolled his eyes and shamelessly opened his mouth to take it.
.
Now Lin Jingzhi has recovered from the initial surprise. He also sees that there is something wrong with Tang Yuxiang today. He seems to be deliberately trying to please himself. He thinks that he has something to ask for, but he can ask for something from him.
It's also a good thing. Not only does helping out conveniently bring the relationship between the two of them closer, but you can also take advantage of it before helping.
Take the fish meat on Tang Yuxiang's chopsticks with his mouth as an example. In normal times, he would not dare to do it. Otherwise, although Tang Yuxiang would not fall out on the spot, she would definitely ignore him for more than ten days.
Seeing Lin Jingzhi shamelessly taking the fish meat off his chopsticks into his mouth, and smiling with an unapologetic look on his face, the trace of disappointment in Tang Yuxiang's heart disappeared in an instant, and the root of his teeth turned for a while and wanted to grind it.
I felt itchy, 'Forget it, I still have something to do today that requires me to be so cheeky, hold it in, I must hold it back!'
After comforting herself for several times, the expression on Tang Yuxiang's face regained its calmness.
Mrs. Lin was so happy when she saw her grandson playing tricks like this. It was rare that she actually had a childish interest in teasing Tang Yuxiang. She had not felt this feeling for decades, "Yu Xiang"
Xiang, we are all a family, don’t be too tired, sit down and eat together.”
Tang Yuxiang's breathing stagnated and her face trembled. She didn't dare to disobey Mrs. Lin's order. She responded with difficulty, and then sat down obediently.
If possible, she would definitely not eat with the chopsticks used by Lin Jingzhi, but at this moment, Mrs. Lin was looking at her with a smile, her eyes were unclear, and there was no room for her to choose on her own, so she had to muster up her courage.
He stretched out his hand tremblingly and picked up a piece of loofah.
Slowly put it into his red and attractive little cherry mouth.dd
