Traveling through ancient times

Chapter 254 Returning to Jade Village at Night

At this time, Zheng Shanhe heard Lin Ming talking and hurried in to help!

Gu Dalian covered her mouth and laughed secretly. Captain Zheng usually looked serious and upright, but he was fighting for a sip of wine and food!

But she forgot that anything that passed through her hands must be extraordinary!

After a while, Lin Ming brought a tray with seven or eight green-skinned, red-fleshed watermelons on it, and said with a pout:

"Sir, you have to control Captain Zheng. He is such a grown man, but he still snatches food. He insists that you need to eat soon and can't eat too much fruit. The rest is your reward for the other officials and brothers in the yamen!"

Gu Dalian bent over with laughter: "Oh, I'm so happy, brother, are all the detectives in your office funny? They even have such excuses, which leave people speechless! Hahaha..."

Seeing Gu Dalian smiling so happily, Lin Shiyu couldn't help but smile too, and hummed softly:

"If this foodie wasn't a man who knows his limits and is capable, he would be fed up with it..."

After saying that, he handed a piece to Gu Dalian, and took a bite of it himself. The sweet and juicy taste instantly made his throat comfortable. He ate a piece in two or three bites. Just as he was about to hand it to Gu Dalian again, he saw her waving her hand, so he took another piece and said:

"Lin Ming, leave two pieces for Xiaolian, and the rest are yours. Be careful and don't let that greedy guy snatch them away!"

Lin Ming hurriedly said: "I will go back to my room to eat now!"

As he said that, he put the leftover melon rinds into the trash can, left it outside, took his three pieces and went back to his room!

Not long after, Gu Xiaolian arrived! She greeted Lin Shiyu and hugged her sister and said:

"Sister, our wheat harvest will begin in the next two days. Do you want to go back and take a look?"

Now the several plots of land in the village are managed by people arranged by the headman, so Gu Dalian is not worried. However, her own wheat field uses space seeds and space water, so the wheat grows naturally well and matures more than half a month earlier than other people's wheat!

Gu Dalian had forgotten about this, and after thinking for a moment, she said:

"Brother, the wheat has been harvested this season. I plan to use the rest of the wheat as seeds, except for the part that I hand over to you. I will keep some for my own village and a few villages that I am close to. The rest will be arranged by you. I got this seed from the deep mountains. I haven't seen the yield yet, but I conservatively estimate that one acre of land will produce 800 to 1,000 kilograms!"

When Lin Shiyu heard this, he stood up:

"Sister, the yield is so high?... This... No, tomorrow, I will take Liu Sinong and the others to Cuiyu Village to help harvest the wheat!"

Xiaolian was a little overwhelmed. Since when did the county magistrate become the eldest brother and even lead people to help harvest wheat? She turned her head and looked at her eldest sister!

Gu Dalian laughed and pointed at Lin Shiyu and said:

"From now on, Master Lin is our eldest brother. You can just call him eldest brother. It's our own land, shouldn't he contribute some effort?"

Lin Shiyu then realized that he had overreacted and smiled at Gu Xiaolian. Gu Xiaolian was also smart and said sweetly:

"Brother, you have to get up early tomorrow, or the village head will give the order, and the uncles and uncles in the village will wave their hands and harvest the fields before you can get there!"

When thinking about that scene, Gu Xiaolian started to giggle, which made people imagine endlessly and laugh along with her!

After dinner, Lin Shiyu asked Lin Ming to notify people. Gu Dalian and her sister declined his offer to send them off personally and left the yamen!

Not far away, Zheng Shanhe was still talking and waiting with the two yamen runners. When he saw the two sisters coming out, he hurried over!

"...Hehe...Lord Xiangjun...We are waiting for what we can do for you!"

Gu Dalian's face twitched slightly. How could a wine lover resist the temptation of good wine?

"Uncle Zheng, I have a few jars of good wine at home. Please help me finish them!"

The three were overjoyed. This place was not far from the clothing store, so two of them rode "Shadow" first, and the other three walked over!

After returning to the backyard, Gu Dalian took out two cans of Laobaifen and two cans of Zhuyeqing from the space, and also took out some melons and watermelons that could be preserved, as well as some big sweet peaches, and carried them to the door with her sister!

The three of them were so overjoyed that they kept rubbing their hands!

"Uncle Zheng, divide this wine among the three of you. This fruit is also too precious, so share it quietly and don't tell anyone! I only gave it to you because I heard my eldest brother praise your loyalty and ability from time to time!"

What I meant was not that I was afraid of you. The county magistrate is my brother, and I am the county governor. It is because you are loyal to the county magistrate that I give it to you out of his face!

The three of them were all smart, and they hurriedly bowed and said:

"Thank you, sir, and the county lord for your kindness. From now on, the three of us will be even more loyal and dedicated to our duties!"

It was just the beginning of June and it was getting dark late. Gu Dalian went to several stores and found that everything was running normally. She also drew new models for several jewelers and studied some detailed changes!

The jewelry stores in Shannan County are so famous nowadays that young ladies from wealthy families in surrounding counties will travel hundreds of miles to buy jewelry here when preparing their dowries. The employees in the store have become sought-after figures because of their high salaries and commissions!

These unmarried girls can earn money on their own and have broader horizons and vision. They go out with their heads held high and are full of confidence, just like the ladies of wealthy families!

After the shop closed, Gu Dalian noticed that Qi Dihu looked at a girl in a very different way, so she secretly paid attention to him!

She signaled Qi Huli to take some time to check the girl's character, because the marriages of her senior brothers were such an important matter that they could not be taken lightly!

Qi Shanhu was tied up in the prefecture and county, and now, the only ones who could gather in the county were Qi Dihu, Qi Haihu, Qi Zhuanghu and Qi Huli. They hadn't seen their master Qi Xiao for some time, and his disciples were now able to stand on their own, so they rode back to Biyu Village together!

At this time, every household in the village had closed their doors and was resting. When passing by the old Gu's house, Gu Dalian had an idea and signaled everyone to go first. After watching a few people walk away, she stepped on the ground and flew into the courtyard!

The lights in the main house were off, but the lights in the side room were still on. Gu Dalian moved her ears and heard someone talking in the room!

"Boss, do you think that the fourth brother's method will work? It's been several months since the fourth brother arranged for our daughter Damei to follow that master, and there is still no news. Sigh... I... I'm a little worried!"

It was Qin's voice as soon as I heard it!

"What are you worried about? ... I didn't agree at the beginning, but you kept urging my daughter to marry you, saying it was better than marrying a country bumpkin! ... Alas ... what can I do now?"

Gu Da's dull voice was followed by a clear and soft voice:

"Dad, Mom, I think my sister and that man are the right match! At home, grandma treats us like animals, and only my third uncle's family is kind to us. If I have this opportunity, I am willing to go out and I can also spare some money to help the family!"

Gu Dalian recognized that it was Gu Ermei's voice!

"Mom, I... need to go to the toilet!"
