Bringing the courtyard through [delicate] lady killed like crazy

Qingshan Village.

The wife of the village head came to the Lu family, carrying some New Year's goods prepared by her family.

This was a special order from her husband, Mr. Jiang. It was almost the end of the year, and their family had bought some New Year goods to send to the children of the Lu family.

By the way, I have a question.

The village head's wife was a cheerful person. Her voice was heard before she even showed up. "Mrs. Lu, I heard that Lu Er is back from the academy? He probably didn't go before the New Year."

When Chen Ruolan heard the voice, she quickly put down her work and went to meet him, "Hey, auntie, you're here, come in and sit down."

Chen Ruolan welcomed the village head's wife into the main hall, poured a cup of tea and said, "Auntie, have a sip of tea first."

"Ah-Ying came back yesterday, but he is not at home today. After breakfast, he went to the county with Jiaojiao. He is expected to be back tomorrow. Aunt, what do you want to talk to Ah-Ying about?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I just asked casually." The village head took the tea handed to her by Chen Ruolan and took a sip. "Hmm? This tea?"

He took another sip and completely forgot about what he had brought.

The wife of the village head took a few more sips, and her eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Good tea! Did Lu Er bring it back from the county?"

Lu Liang had already passed the provincial examination and won the first place. Logically, he should have set off for the capital long ago.

However, it was said that Lu Ling's mentor was old, and Lu Ling didn't know whether he would be able to see him in the future after going to the capital. So he stayed in the academy, accompanying his mentor, and only set off for the capital after the New Year.

It is said that Lu Er's mentor was the former Prince's tutor from the capital, who had taught the current emperor. Such good tea must have been given by Lu Er's master.

The headman’s wife thought to herself.

Lu Er is indeed promising. He has the same master as the current emperor, so his future achievements will be incredible.

Their village didn’t know whether it would be able to benefit from Lu Liang’s influence in the future.

"Auntie, this is the tea that our Jiaojiao made. It wasn't brought back by A-ying." Chen Ruolan dropped a bombshell with a proud look on her face.

She said Jiaojiao was a capable person. Once when they went up the mountain, Jiaojiao pointed to a patch of short trees that they thought were ordinary plants and said they were tea trees.

At that time, she and her husband were both stunned, and their expressions were probably the same as the village head's wife's now.

They knew about tea, and immediately asked, "Tea? But the kind of tea you drink at home now?"

"It's tea, but it's a different variety from the one we have at home," Jiaojiao replied.

"How is it different? Another scent?" Lu Xiao asked hurriedly.

He really loved the tea at home, but the quantity was small and he was too embarrassed to ask Jiaojiao for it.

So there are still some at home, and he keeps them well. When he drinks, he puts a few of them in a tea bowl and brews them.

I can't bear to drink it at all.

Lu Xiao looked at the large area of ​​tea trees in front of him and swallowed.

"How about this, let's pick some, and I'll make tea for you to try later. It's not as good as the one at home, but it's still delicious."

Jiaojiao picked some at that time and fried them for them personally when she got home.

As expected, the tea had a refreshing fragrance and a long aftertaste. Although it was not as good as what Jiaojiao had given them before, it was already a rare and good thing.

This is the kind of tea they usually drink now. They were reluctant to drink the one Jiaojiao gave them before and put it away.

So this is what we are using to entertain the wife of the village head today.

The headman's wife drank up the water in the cup and put the empty cup on the table embarrassedly.

Seeing this, Chen Ruolan quickly added water, turned back to her room, and brought out a small bag of tea leaves, "Auntie, take these back."

The wife of the village head was embarrassed, but she really wanted it, so she shamelessly took the tea leaves. Then she remembered that she had brought something with her, and slapped her thigh, "Look at me, I was so busy drinking your tea that I forgot."

The wife of the village head lifted the basket at her feet onto the table, opened the cloth on it, and began to take things out of the basket: dried wild vegetables, bamboo shoots, smoked bacon, cabbage, radish, a bag of candies, and a bag of osmanthus cake.

Chen Ruolan looked at these things in a daze. These were not ordinary things. In previous years, because Lu Xiao sent things to the village head's house from time to time, the village head's wife would also come and bring some vegetables grown in her own home, or mushrooms picked from the mountains.

But this bacon, candies, and osmanthus cake...

You know, Li Zheng had children in his old age. There were only the Jiang family and one child, who was only two years older than Lu Lin.

Therefore, the Jiang family's life is not as good as that of the Lu family.

"Aunt, what are you doing? You can't do this." Chen Ruolan said as she was about to stuff the things on the table back into the basket of the village head's wife.

The village head's wife quickly put the basket behind her and used the other hand to hold back Chen Ruolan who was about to come towards her. "Mrs. Lu, listen to what auntie said. Actually, I came here today to ask for a favor."

The wife of the village head was a little embarrassed, but her husband wanted her to come and inquire first. If it worked, she could come over later. This was to avoid the possibility that someone in the village would find out and gossip.

Chen Ruolan heard the village head's wife say this and asked in confusion, "Aunt, what's the matter?"

What do you want from them?

The village head's wife pulled Chen Ruolan to sit down, rubbed her hands on her thighs and said, "It's like this, a few days ago, Mr. Lu sent some vegetables to your uncle, you know."

Chen Ruolan nodded. She knew about this. The vegetables in the backyard were well grown, juicy and delicious. They couldn't finish them all, so her husband picked some and sent them to the head of the village.

Seeing Chen Ruolan nod, the village head's wife continued, "We have all eaten this dish before. It is really delicious. You think we can still eat such good green leafy vegetables in the winter? Not to mention winter, we have never eaten it even in spring and summer, don't you think?"

Chen Ruolan continued to nod. It was all thanks to Jiaojiao, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to eat such delicious vegetables.

Could it be that the village head’s wife wants some more vegetables?

It’s not impossible. She was just picking vegetables and could bring them back to the village head’s wife later.

Seeing that Chen Ruolan didn't seem to understand what she meant, the village head's wife simply said, "It's like this, your uncle asked me to ask if there are seeds for this vegetable and where to buy it?"

Chen Ruolan suddenly realized what was going on. "To be honest, Auntie, Jiaojiao bought this vegetable from a traveling merchant in the county. I think it will be hard to find it again. How about this? Jiaojiao is not at home now. When she comes back, I will ask her and give you an answer later."

If she could really buy seeds again, she would very much like everyone to be able to eat such good vegetables.

After receiving the reply, the wife of the village head happily went home with tea and a basket of vegetables.

…………

the other side.

The carriage slowly drove out of Baiyun County, but it was not the way back to Qingshan Village.

Li Jiaojiao, who was drowsy in the carriage, had no idea what was going on.

Lu Liang looked at the person nodding across from him...

There is no need to investigate until the results come out. She definitely is not from there...

If that's true, I can only say that her acting skills are so good that even he can't see the flaws.

Li Jiaojiao in her sleep: …………

I felt inexplicably that my dignity had been insulted.

By the time Li Jiaojiao got off the carriage, she felt unwell.

Where is this? Although the environment here is pretty good, it is not Qingshan Village.

What does Lu Liang want to do?

Lu Liang looked at Li Jiaojiao's confused expression and curled his lips, "I'll take you to see someone."

Li Jiaojiao: …………

A simple and rustic study room, and an old man with silver hair but full of energy.

Li Jiaojiao looked at the old man opposite her, and the old man was also looking at her.

The old man and the young man looked at each other without any hesitation.

"Master." Lu Liang said helplessly.

The old man smiled and replied, "Hmm? Can I take a look at my disciple's wife?"

After that, he picked up a wooden box on the table next to him and said to Li Jiaojiao, "Girl, this is a gift from the master."
