"No, no, it's impossible, how can I ask for your money."

"Uncle Lin, you deserve it. These days, if you hadn't helped me, would I have been able to move so many potatoes by myself? Besides, the potatoes these days are picked by your two families on the mountain together. Yes, how could I take advantage of you for nothing?"

"Uh, I really didn't say anything, but..."

"Uncle Lin, don't evade excuses. In fact, I plan to take this opportunity to cooperate with you in planting potatoes."

"Can that thing grow by itself?"

Shen Lin was dumbfounded.

"Well, and it can be harvested all year round, and the time to mature is very short. I just don't know if you would like it, Uncle Lin."

"This... well, I agree." Shen Lin hesitated, gritted his teeth and agreed, "With this money, the matter of sending Huzi and the others to school will be settled."

"They?" Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows, "Uncle Lin, don't you have only one child, Huzi?"

"It's my eldest brother's child."

Mentioning the eldest brother Shen Hai's family, Shen Lin's head began to ache, "If I only let Huzi go to school, my mother will definitely come to my house, causing chaos."

"Xiao Ling, I'm not afraid to tell you that something like that happened before. At that time, I sent Hu Zi to the school, and when I turned around, my mother knew about it, and went straight to school to make a scene, making Hu Zi The son was sent back."

Shen Lin only spoke half of what he said to Xiao Ling.

At that time, Shen Lin's mother not only made Huzi unable to go to school again, but also spread everywhere that Shen Lin only cared about himself and ignored the life and death of his younger brother's family.

Shen Lin was forced to work only in the town.

"Uncle Lin, if you do this, it will only make them greedy."

"I know this, but what can I do? Even if I don't want to care about Ah Hai and his family, I still have to take care of Ah Mu."

Shen Lin smiled wryly.

Since Shen Lin was a child, Shen Lin's mother has been partial to Shen Hai, almost everything will be given to Shen Hai immediately, and she has been used to Shen Hai as a lazy man. out of the woods.

"Uncle Lin, if I say, I am willing to teach Hu Zi how to learn calligraphy?"

Xiao Ling touched his chin and suggested.

"Xiao, Xiao Ling, do you know how to read?"

"Uncle Lin, have you forgotten how I negotiated terms with the owner of Wufu Inn and established written evidence?"

"Uh……"

One word awakened the dreamer, and as soon as the words came out, what happened that day immediately appeared in Shen Lin's mind, and the original sadness gradually turned into ecstasy, "Xiao Ling, if you are willing to teach, it would be great. I'll leave it to you, if it's that kid Pi, you don't have to worry about me, just whip him."

Shen Lin didn't expect Shen Hu to become a high-ranking official, but only hoped that he could read and write, so that he wouldn't be fooled into being fooled and didn't know anything.

"With Uncle Lin's words, I will not be polite."

Xiao Ling raised the corners of his lips calmly, "Also, I hope Uncle Lin can keep the matter of our potato planting a secret from others for the time being."

"It's fine for a short time, but in the long run, it's unlikely to be hidden, right?"

"As long as you can hide it for a while."

Xiao Ling narrowed his eyes meaningfully, "Someone in the village saw it before, and Shen Qing and I took the potatoes back, but we didn't find anything."

"Xiao Ling, why are you hiding..."

"Wow."

Suddenly, a sudden scream interrupted the conversation between Xiao Ling and Shen Lin.

I see.

A young man in a well-dressed man, about twelve or thirteen years old, seemed to have tripped over something, and threw himself on Xiao Ling's body. The bright imprint on his forehead attracted many people present to look sideways.

"Young master, be careful. Hey, what are you doing here? Hurry up and catch my young master." Another little brother dressed as a servant followed closely behind, pointing at Xiao Ling and shouting.

It's too late, it's too soon.

Just when the little brother in Huafu was about to crash into Xiao Ling's arms, Xiao Ling turned around and dodged straight away.

"what……"

boom.

"My lord, are you okay?" The little brother's servant was dumbfounded, without even thinking about it, Xiao Ling listened to his words, not only did not help, but also avoided it directly.

Soon, the servant boy who came back to his senses hurriedly ran to the boy in the Chinese costume, carefully checked whether the boy in the Chinese costume was injured, and at the same time glared at Xiao Ling angrily. "Hey, what's the matter with you? Didn't I just tell you to catch my young master? How dare you avoid me and let my young master fall? If my young master is injured in any way, I will only ask you."

"He fell by himself, what does it have to do with me? I have no obligation to help him, who knows if you are pretending on purpose?"

Xiao Ling said in a cold voice unceremoniously.

"You are too deceitful. As my son, do you need to dress up? Even if you really want to pretend, you won't pretend to be a shabby person like you, and you don't take a bronze mirror to see what you are. Do you dare to shout here? Ah, yes, I almost forgot, with the clothes you are wearing, where can I buy a bronze mirror?"

Pedestrians on the street couldn't help but stop because of their words, and looked over curiously.

"What's going on here?"

"Isn't it that the farmer doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade? He actually let a good big beauty fall to the ground. If it was me, I would have run up to catch the beauty, maybe there would be a dewy marriage."

"Haven't you thought about it, with your face, can my little brother take a fancy to you?"

"A muddy leg is a muddy leg. I'm afraid he hasn't even touched a decent brother, has he?"

"That's right, I heard that those boys from the village are either too ordinary, or they are all very strong, like a man. How can they compare with this little brother who can tell that he is well-educated?"

……

"The one who bullies people too much, is it you?"

Xiao Ling ignored the cynicism of passers-by, squinted his eyes slightly, and looked at the master and servant who appeared inexplicably, "I have never touched a finger of your son from the beginning to the end, why do you say 'I am the only one asking' ?”

"you you……"

"Qiu Sheng, Young Master Xiao is right, how can you be so arrogant and unreasonable?"

Qin Haoran walked out with a smile, and then strode up to the little brother in Huafu, and helped him up, "Fifth brother, are you alright?"

"No, thank you brother."

"Big, young master..."

As soon as he saw Qin Haoran, Qiu Sheng's aggressiveness disappeared instantly, and his face gradually turned pale, "Why are you here?"

"Qiusheng, do you even want to control where I go now? Could it be that you think you belong to my fifth brother, so I dare not touch you?" Qin Haoran chuckled teasingly, closed the folding fan in his hand, Pressing Qiu Sheng's chin, his eyes were filled with Qiu Sheng's terrified and coquettish gaze, as if he wanted to tear him apart.

"No, young master, I didn't mean that, don't get me wrong, I, I just, just..."

Qiu Sheng was so frightened by Qin Haoran that his legs went limp for an instant, and he kept knotting his words.

"Brother, enough is enough, don't embarrass Qiusheng too much, he is also eager to protect the Lord, that's why he is like this."

Qin Yining, the little brother in Huafu, smiled gently at Qin Haoran, and then turned his eyes to Xiao Ling, and said with an apologetic smile, "Young master, I'm really sorry about what happened just now, it's all because I didn't notice it for a while. When it comes to stone, that's how things go."

"As long as you know."

Qin Yining couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth, "..."

Didn't he realize that this was just a superficial compliment?

"Well, even the fifth brother has spoken, how can I not give the fifth brother face? Also, if Qiusheng was sensible just now, how could I be willing to treat Qiusheng like this?" Qin Haoran finally took back his folding fan and teased. , "But having said that, fifth brother, let me tell you about you first. Aren't you going to grandpa's place? Why did you come here for no reason?"

"Ha ha."

Qin Yining covered his face and smiled lightly, "Brother, I didn't hear along the way that there is a very special new dish here, so I just wanted to come and experience it, so what about you, brother? Why did you come here?"

"Me? Of course I'm here to inspect the property, otherwise, can this place with few beauties attract me?" Qin Haoran had a meaningful smile on his face, "Fifth brother, where you want to go, Could it be Wufu Inn?"

"Brother, how do you know, could it be that you opened that inn?"

Qin Yining showed surprise.

"That's right." Qin Haoran twirled the folding fan in his hand, "Just in time, you're all here today, why don't I be the host, and treat you to a meal."

"Then I will trouble you, brother." Qin Yining smiled back without losing his dignity.

"Young Master Xiao, you will also reward your face, right?"

Seeing that Qin Yining had no objection, Qin Haoran turned his head and invited Xiao Ling.

"it is good."

Soon, the five of them came to the box of Wufu Inn.

Except for Qiu Sheng who stood by and waited on Qin Yining, the four of them sat down, but compared with Xiao Ling and the other three, Shen Lin seemed very reserved.

"Xiao Ling, I'm still not used to sitting in this kind of place, why don't I wait for you outside?"

Shen Lin whispered authentically.

"it is good."

Knowing that Shen Lin was not used to it, Xiao Ling didn't force it. He nodded and agreed.

"Brother, you are not going to introduce this young master to me?" Qin Yining picked up the teacup and took a sip, his gaze never fell on Shen Lin for a moment, instead he looked at Xiao Ling intentionally or unintentionally several times.

"Ah, sorry, I almost forgot."

Qin Haoran smiled indifferently, "Fifth brother, this is Mr. Xiao Ling, a friend I met recently. Mr. Xiao, this is my fifth younger brother, Qin Yining."

"Young Master Xiao, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"No, the lucky meeting is still avoided. I don't plan to have too much contact with you."

Qin Yining lowered his head in embarrassment, "Young Master Xiao, could it be that you are still thinking about what happened on the street just now?"

"No."

Xiao Ling shook his head, and replied unceremoniously, "Ming people don't speak secretly, I just don't like you and don't want to talk to you. Thinking too much is not a good thing."

"Uh……"

"Hey, how do you talk like a farmer? My young master has as many suitors as Guo Jiang Zhiqing. Now that young master is willing to talk to you, it's fine if you're not grateful. How dare you embarrass young master?"
