Lin Xiao took out two sets of beautiful dresses from the bag and handed them to Lan Lian:
"Try it on and see if it fits."
These are the two sets of clothes she specifically asked Zhang Yue to buy.
Lan Lian carefully took the dress. Through the candlelight, she could clearly see the exquisite patterns embroidered on the dress, and the fabric felt very comfortable. She knew it was valuable at a glance.
"Master, these clothes are too expensive, I'd better keep them for Sister Yuyan!"
"Yu Yan is following the general, so she will wear a lot of clothes. Besides, I bought these two sets of clothes specially for you. Do you really want to refuse?"
Lin Xiao deliberately kept a straight face and said seriously.
"My dear, thank you..."
Lan Lian couldn't put it down while holding the clothes. She had never worn such expensive clothes.
What's more, this dress was specially bought by her boss from the capital as a gift to her, so she couldn't be more excited.
Her eyes immediately became moist, and tears slowly slid down the corners of her eyes, but she quickly wiped them away secretly.
Lin Xiao didn't notice that she was crying, but asked herself:
"Are the women in the village still talking nonsense to you these days when I'm out?"
Lan Lian shook her head:
"They are all polite to me, no one makes things difficult for me, it's just..."
Lan Lian wanted to speak but stopped.
"Just what?"
"it's okay no problem."
"That's good."
Lin Xiao felt relieved. It seemed that the excuse he had told Aunt Wu and others about Li Yuyan going to a foreign country for medical treatment was quite valid.
"By the way, Lan Lian, you can set up a temporary bed in the main room for me to sleep in later, and you can tidy up my room and make it available to the distinguished guests."
"Master, if you don't mind, you can actually sleep in my room..."
Lan Lian mustered up her courage and said with flushed cheeks.
As soon as she said this, she wanted to bite off her tongue.
How come I am no different from the girls in Wanhua Tower?
Does the head of the family think that she is that kind of frivolous woman?
But what can she do?
Although no one in the village bullies her anymore, it is impossible not to have a child as soon as possible.
But having a child is not something she can control alone. If the head of the family doesn't consummate the marriage with her, how can she give birth to a child?
"No, how can I let you sleep in the main room? It's better for me to sleep!"
"Master, Lan Lian didn't mean that..."
"Lan Lian, how did you go about the things I asked you to do before going to the capital?"
Lin Xiao deliberately changed the topic and asked.
How could she not know what Lan Lian was thinking?
But her identity as a woman still has to be kept a secret from Lan Lian.
It's not that she can't trust Lan Lian, but that she has an inexplicable trust in Li Yuyan.
Upon hearing this, Lan Lian immediately lowered her head and said in a weak voice:
"Well, it's all done. I piled all the chicken and duck poop in the small pit behind the house."
"Okay, tomorrow morning, you send these maltose candies to the aunts in the village. Just say that I bought them from the capital specifically to satisfy their cravings, and let them go to the place where we picked flowers to sell them when they are free.
Give me two coins per pound."
With that said, Lin Xiao handed a bag of maltose weighing about two kilograms into Lan Lian's hand.
Lan Lian nodded, packed the maltose and put it in her arms.
She was very happy inside.
It seems that Lin Xiao has gained quite a lot since returning to the capital!
Yu Xilin and the village chief drank until late at night before breaking up.
The village chief was so drunk that he couldn't even walk steadily. Fortunately, Ma Guihua and Lin Xiaohu supported him, so he didn't fall down.
The village chief was drunk and waving his arms randomly, muttering nonsense:
"Young Master Jade, Young Master Jade, drink, let's drink again, we won't go home until we get drunk tonight, hahaha, we won't go home until we get drunk... we won't go back until we get drunk... Come on, drink! We won't go back until we get drunk..."
After hearing this, Ma Guihua couldn't help rolling her eyes. She is such an embarrassing old man!
He can't even walk steadily, and he still has the nerve to shout that he won't come back until he's drunk. He's really drunk to death!
The village chief's voice became farther and farther away, and finally disappeared into the vast night.
When Lin Xiao and Lan Lian were about to help Yu Xilin, who was lying on the table, into the back room, Yu Xilin suddenly stood up, and her whole energy did not look like she was drunk at all.
In fact he wasn't drunk at all!
"Master Yu, you..."
Lin Xiao looked at Yu Xilin in surprise.
Yu Xilin waved his hand and interrupted Lin Xiao:
"I'm fine, I just pretended to be drunk!"
"Your acting skills can surpass Xiaoxianrou by several blocks!"
Lin Xiao gave Yu Xilin a thumbs up.
At first, she really thought that Yu Xilin had been forced unconscious by the village chief.
I didn’t expect that this guy was born in the year of the fox and is very cunning!
"What is fresh meat? Is it also a specialty of your Linjia Village?"
Yu Xilin looked at Lin Xiao curiously.
He could understand every word this guy said, but why couldn't he understand them all together?
"I praised you for pretending to be drunk. You almost fooled us all."
Lin Xiao smiled and patted Yu Xilin's shoulder, looking like a child who could be taught.
"Hey, if I don't pretend to be drunk, your village chief will make a scene until dawn! Besides, after a day's journey, I'm almost exhausted, and I still have to accompany your village chief to visit ancestral graves, drink and brag, I
Is it easy? Me!"
As he spoke, Yu Xilin actually showed a look of aggrievedness.
"Lan Lian, bring the sobering tea steamed in the pot to Mr. Yu."
"Hey, that's good!"
Lan Lian agreed, turned around and ran to the kitchen.
After a while, a bowl of steaming hot tea soup was brought over.
"Originally, sobering tea had to be boiled with tea leaves, mulberries, hawthorn, bergamot, malt, branches, cardamom, radish seeds and poria. However, I only have crude tea and malt at home, so just drink it!"
While Yu Xilin was drinking, Lin Xiao was explaining the principles of making sobering tea.
Listening to Lin Xiao's story, the more Yu Xilin drank, the more interesting the sobering tea became. He admired while drinking:
"Xiao Linzi, I really didn't expect you to know how to make sobering tea. I admire you! I admire you!"
Lin Xiao heard this and raised his head proudly:
"That's right, don't even look at who I am! You drink quickly and go to sleep in the back room after drinking. We are all very sleepy!"
Lin Xiao let out a long yawn and urged.
Yu Xilin looked at Lin Xiao's bloodshot eyes and the tired look in her eyes, and knew that Lin Xiao was indeed very sleepy, so she stopped lingering, picked up the bowl, and drank the sobering tea in large gulps.
After eating a bowl, Yu Xilin burped and stretched:
"Well, I haven't had such a delicious hangover tea for a long time! Then... I'm going to take a rest now?"
"Go, go, Lan Lian has replaced all the bedding and other things with new ones for you, so you can go and rest in peace."
Lin Xiao waved his hand, signaling Yu Xilin to rest.
Yu Xilin smiled and greeted Lin Xiao, then turned and left.
Lan Lian quickly cleaned up the mess on the dining table, put four wooden benches together, put clean bedding on them, and a simple temporary bed was completed.
"Master, do you really want to sleep in the main room?"
Lan Lian asked again without giving up.
"Well, it's getting late. There's still a lot of work to do tomorrow, so go get some rest!"
Lin Xiao nodded, took off his shoes, lay on the bed, and closed his eyes.
"……good."
Seeing this, Lan Lian had no choice but to go back to her room feeling depressed.
Thanks to [Happy Angel] for voting for recommendation!
Today I will tell a story about a girl in red on a rainy day.
It is said that it was an extremely hot summer, and everyone stayed at home with the air conditioner on and eating watermelon to cool down.
Suddenly, without any warning, it began to rain heavily.
He had never seen such heavy rain since he was born, so he lay on the window sill and watched the rain.
As I watched, a little girl wearing a red raincoat appeared on the side of the road.
The little girl, who was about five years old, stood quietly on the side of the road. Even though the rain wet her clothes, she remained motionless.
He felt it was strange, so he opened the balcony window to let the little girl go home quickly, but when he opened the window and stuck his head out, the little girl was gone!
Later, he heard from a friend that a serious traffic accident had occurred at that intersection. It was a rainy day, and a mother and her five-year-old daughter were about to cross the road when they were hit by an out-of-control car. The girl died on the spot, and the mother became
