Eldest Sister, Why Haven’t You Married Yet - Chapter 83
Xiao Linyu also knew about the “bad” behavior of the younger brother, but he didn’t care much at first, but less than half a month later, he later realized that the younger brother had already circled: “Linfeng, this is How can you gain so much weight in less than half a month? “
The beautiful young boy who was originally angular, now has a round face, and a piece of red bean cake newly developed by the Su family, squinting his eyes happily: “If you are not brother, your daily affairs are busy, we should go to Su together. It ’s home to eat! ”The red bean cake made by Su Jiaxin is really delicious. The ice is cold and cold, sweet and delicious. A small plate of pastry is only four or five pieces. He almost finished all of his bites.
Xiao Linyu could n’t help but envy the younger brother’s words of hatred, but he was the grandson of the Xiao family, bearing the future of the Xiao family, from the moment he was born Doomed not to be able to have a happy childhood like others, let alone now?
With a smile, he touched his brother’s head and said, “Brother can’t go away, you don’t have to go to the Su’s house to eat, just remember you can’t add trouble to the Su’s family?” In fact, there was a moment when Xiao Linyu wanted to nod. I went to eat and drink with my brother, but it was just a flash of thought.
When Xiao Linfeng thought that so many delicious elder brothers in the Su family could not eat, he looked at him with some sympathy, and then hurriedly held the last piece of red bean cake in the exquisite small dish: “Brother, you taste it, Su The newly-made cakes made by the girls, they taste pretty good. “This is the cake specially made by the Su family for Xiao Linfeng. Naturally, they use the best raw materials that they can afford, plus Su ’s craftsmanship, Naturally there is no need to say.
Xiao Linfeng smiled and twisted the last piece of red bean cake into his mouth. The aroma of red beans was mixed with the fragrance of osmanthus. The cold taste was really novel and delicious. He nodded in agreement: “It is really good.” Thinking of it is always a beautiful pair. With slightly raised eyes and always a little girl with a smile, Xiao Linyu couldn’t help but wonder what kind of family this would be to educate such a wise and courageous woman.
Xiao Linfeng saw that his elder brother really liked it too, so he clapped his hands and decided: “The girl from the Su family explained what hibiscus cake was going to be done on the day. I asked her to do more and bring it back to the elder brother to try it!” Easy, although sometimes he is a bit stubborn, but often he is very sensible and considerate.
The canal excavation project has been carried out for nearly a year. Due to the purpose of the Holy Spirit to speed up the process, as one of the leaders of this water conservancy project, Uncle Xiao’s family naturally took this project. Xiao Linyu also had a meritorious body, and also donated a vacant job in the name of the DPRK. It is also very convenient to walk outside, so he replaced the second uncle Xiao family to come to Luohe Prefecture to supervise the work.
The excavation distance of the canal in Luohe Prefecture is not long, but it is fifty miles, plus it was dug together at both ends. Although it took less than a year, but the investment of manpower and material resources is very large, so the process is counted fast. The current speed is estimated to be able to dig both ends into the winter this year. It will only be put into use when the ice and snow melt in spring next year.
Today, the head of the Xiao family, that is, the father of the brothers Xiao Linyu is in his prime, and most of the family’s family business is taken care of by him. Although Xiao Linyu studied and operated with his father daily before coming to Luohe Prefecture, if he pulled away For half a year, it’s okay. Before the brothers left, the head of the Xiao family also called the brothers to the study room to discuss their knees: “The two of you brothers are always good to go out and practice, and the Xiao family and I can’t protect you forever. It ’s not like being at home. You should think a little bit more about everything and do n’t worry about it. Especially Linfeng or the child ’s heart. Linyu, as an elder brother, must bear the responsibility of discipline. “
It was also because this time that he had to go to Luohe Prefecture to stay until winter to return to Beijing. The ancestor of the Xiao family could not worry about two grandchildren, so he arranged for the servants who used to serve the two in the past and chose two from the guards at home. Fifteen people and a team of thirty-six people followed Luohe Prefecture.
“When we come back at the end of the year, we can almost get rid of filial piety. The Bai family girl is already sixteen, and it’s time to take care of your marriage.” Xiao Shi’s mother suddenly said this before sending her eldest son away.
The ancestors of the Xiao family also nodded and said, “The Bai family is very good. She knows books and rituals, and her character is out of the ordinary. The marriage between the two of us was settled when you were young. If it were not for your grandfather’s death, You have to keep filial piety for three years, I am afraid that now I can already embrace my great-grandson. “The head of the Bai family is an official in the dynasty. Although it is only a civil official from Wupin, it is a precious family of Shuxiang heirs. During his lifetime, the Xiao family and the Bai family were close friends. The two elders were afraid that the two family members would not be settled. After all, the Xiao family is rich again, and the Bai family is precious, and they always feel that the Xiao family is too stinky.
Standing in front of the window and looking at the bright moon in the night sky, Xiao Linyu’s heart was inexplicably irritated, not to say that the Bai girl was bad, but he and she always did not speculate, and the talented girls trained by the Qing literati were afraid. There are always some Xiao family who look down on a copper stink?
Xiao Linyu didn’t have much affection for Bai Ya’er, but it was a family matter that the Xiao family’s grandfather set when he was alive. Then Bai Yaer’s knowledge and understanding of the book will certainly be a good master for the Xiao family. There are too many things that Lin Lin Yu ca n’t decide for herself in this life, and it ’s not bad for marriage. Xiao Linyu had not thought about this problem before, but this was the first time he felt tired.
“If it were her, what would happen to it?” Somehow, Xiao Linyu flashed Su Yujin with two big slap marks on her face and a pair of beautiful eyes but she was still flying. With a smile, he shook his head and said to himself: “If she is, I am afraid that you would not have been involved in this family matter from the beginning?” The wanton life of other people, after all, can’t envy you!
After dinner at the other end, the young Jin who took a few sisters to practice horses in the yard sneeze and rubbed his nose: “Strange, it’s not cold!” But I didn’t care so much in my heart.
***
The summer is long, but in the past two years, merchants who have traveled to the Western Regions have brought some fruits and vegetables from the Western Regions to come back to the Central Plains for sale. Among them are watermelons. Because no one in Central Plains has planted watermelon, the western region is far away, and the watermelon tastes sweet, which is a good product for cooling off. It is also hot in Luohe Prefecture.
Looking at a watermelon that can be bought for only a few dollars in the previous life, it is now seven or two and one. Young Jin only feels that she can’t swallow this bite of watermelon. But she was reluctant to buy it, and someone always offered to buy it. Isn’t it? The person willing to buy shook the folding fan and walked into the door with extreme dominance: “Su girl, do you think I brought something good to you?” He bought five watermelons in one breath and put them in his home garden After the ice was over, they brought Su’s.
Looking at the smug face of Xiao Linfeng, Young Jin couldn’t help but sigh: “Xiao Linfeng, you really are stupid and rich!”
After more than a month of getting along with each other, the two were no longer as cautious and polite as they were at the beginning. Nowadays, the little girls of the Su family all like this wealthy little brother of the Xiao family. The only dissatisfaction was that the young Jin, who was obviously half a year younger than himself, did not call him a little brother like other young girls in the Su family, but instead called his name directly.
“What do you say?” Su Shi blamed her daughter a little bit cautiously. After all, the son of Xiao Xiao came to be a guest. The daughter is now more and more out of square. She can’t be used to her all the time.
Before the young Jin had spoken, Xiao Linfeng stood on the Su’s side in a hurry, and sat in the top position, shaking his fan and shouting Wu Yangwei said: “Sister-in-law Su, I’m older than you anyway, hurry up and call brother first!”
Young Jin didn’t care about Xiao Linfeng, who was insane, took a piece of watermelon cut by Aunt Song and took a small bite. The sweet and refreshing watermelon juice instantly dispersed in the mouth and sighed comfortably. : “Ice watermelon is still delicious.” Although Xiao Linfeng is like a proud peacock, the watermelon he brought this time is indeed delicious, sand and sweet, and ice cold.
Naturally, the Su family was not polite with Xiao Linfeng. After all, this was not the first time he brought delicious and delicious food to the Su family. However, Su always unconsciously want to say a few words: “This watermelon is expensive, it is really bad to ask Xiaogongzi to break the fee …”
“It’s okay, Aunt Su, I come to your house every day to rub and eat, and then come empty-handed, my elder brother knows that I’m afraid to punish me.” Xiao Linfeng bited and started to sand. The watermelon narrowed his eyes in satisfaction: “If only we could grow watermelon! Would you like to try Sujia girl? Anyway, there are many places in your family!”
Hearing Xiao Linfeng’s inadvertent suggestion, Youjin shined: “You can try this, if I grow up, how about giving you watermelon to eat every year?” Then quickly let Aunt Song spit everyone out The watermelon seeds on the plate were washed and put.
“Elder sister, can we really grow watermelon? So can we eat watermelon every year?” Xiao Qiyi, who was next to Youjin, heard that he wanted to grow watermelon, and his big eyes sparkled brightly. The watermelon is really delicious, but it is too expensive. The eldest sister said that she ca n’t afford it.
The cleaned hands gently squeezed Xiaoqi Baijing’s small face and smiled: “Yes! When the elder sister grows a watermelon, let Xiaoqi eat a round belly!”
“Sujia girl, you said this too early. If you can’t plant it, don’t blame me for laughing at that time!” In Xiao Linfeng’s view, this Luohe State has never planted a watermelon before. Is it true that a little girl of Su Youjin could not be planted?
“How do you know if you don’t try it?” Although it said so, the appearance of Yu Jin’s chest is really uncomfortable for Xiao Linfeng. This little girl obviously has a small body, how can she always be energetic and confident. What does it look like?
I said that I want to grow watermelon, but now it is late summer and early autumn, and it is not the time to raise seedlings. The young gold had to wash and dry all the seeds collected from the five watermelons brought by Xiao Linfeng, and then put it in a bag to seal it. It will be planted in the spring of next year.
