The little sweetheart dressed as the ghost king

After eating the last bite of fish slowly, Ye Lin raised his head to look at Xiji, raised the corner of his mouth, and said lightly, "The taste of this fish is not bad."

Xiji watched him finish the chopped pepper fish that he had worked so hard to make, and also showed that the fish was barely edible, and the reason why he ate it was entirely for his face.

Xiji really wanted to blow his dog's head off and make him spit out all the food he ate, but unfortunately he only dared to think about such a heroic thing in his heart and didn't dare to show it at all.

"Next time I cook, I'll cook it in this way." After Ye Lin finished eating, he still didn't forget to order for himself.

Xiji, who was thinking about things, was startled by Ye Lin's sudden voice, thinking that his little thoughts had been exposed.He raised his eyes and looked at him secretly, and found that there was nothing unusual, he was relieved, and nodded to show that he knew.

Ye Lin glanced at him and saw that he had an expression of daring to speak out, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised in an inconspicuous arc, then he stood up and walked outside, "I still have something to do. Deal with it, if you have something to do, go directly to the housekeeper in this hotel."

"Yes, I understand."

Xiji watched Ye Lin leave, and stared back at the chopped pepper fish with only some soup left, still a little unhappy.This is the fish he worked so hard to make, but he only smelled it.

"Master." Mo Shu was also very wronged. When he and the young master were just about to eat, the Night King appeared from nowhere, scaring them enough.

Although the idea was a bit outrageous, if the Night King didn't show up, he and the young master could share the food.Mo Shu looked at the plate with only soup left in it pitifully, and muttered pitifully, "Master, I didn't even eat a single bite."

"Me too." He was also very frustrated, but it was too time-consuming to collect materials and make a new one now, so he could only pat the shoulder of Mo Shu, who was as disappointed as himself, and said comfortingly: "Forget it!" Anyway, we still have to stay here for a few more days, so it’s the same if we do it another day.”

Mo Shu pursed his lips, and agreed aggrievedly.

……

"Wang, these are the basic situation of this place in recent years." Baishan stood beside Ye Lin, looking at Ye Wang, whose mood has improved since going out for a trip, and respectfully handed over the things in his hand past.

After dealing with some officials here and appointing some people in charge, Ye Lin ordered the people below to investigate the basic situation here for himself.At this time, what Baishan brought was the simplified part of those things that Ye Lin needed.

Ye Lin took the things over, rolled his eyes, and said calmly, "Is the drought here already that serious?"

"Yes. Now that the land is dry and the sky is hot, no matter how hard the farmers work, they still won't get much harvest. Fortunately, they are close to the river and can still fetch water. It's just that manpower is always limited. If this continues, wait until When it comes time to harvest, I’m afraid there will still be no harvest.”

The white shirt said what he knew respectfully, then looked up at the thoughtful Night King, waiting for his instructions.

"Mr. Guo, whom I asked someone to invite last time, when will he arrive?" Ye Lin put the report aside and asked the chief guard who looked at him who was capable in all aspects.

The white shirt said in a respectful tone: "It will probably arrive tomorrow."

Hearing this, Ye Lin tapped his fingers on the table lightly, and said in a casual tone: "Wait for Mr. Guo to come, you can discuss and deal with the rest."

As if he had been used to it for a long time, Bai Shirt didn't show any surprise when he heard his order, and responded respectfully, "Yes, this subordinate will take care of it."

Ye Lin lightly tapped the desktop, killed the steward here, and reappointed the steward to manage the affairs here, that was what he needed to do.As for the rest, it is beyond his jurisdiction.

After dealing with the matters that required him to make decisions, Ye Lin wanted to go out to have some fun, these general affairs were a bit too boring for him.At this moment, I heard Bai Shirt say to himself, "My lord, I still have something to report."

Ye Lin looked up at him, beckoning him to speak directly.

Seeing Wang's gesture, Baishan said exactly what the butler said just now, "A young man who claimed to be the eldest son of the Xi family sent a greeting card and many treasures, and wanted to see Wang. how about?"

Hearing what he said, Ye Lin said without blinking his eyes: "This is the way people are treated in the past, as they were treated in the past."

The white shirt looked at Ye Lin carefully, and found that Wang didn't care who the visitor was as usual, so he left in response, "Yes, I will instruct the people below to take care of it."

Ye Lin raised his eyes to see the direction he was leaving, and sat in his seat, thinking rather boredly, what to do for himself later.

Thinking of it this way, Xiji's angry and timid face appeared in his mind again, and it was interesting to think of the little thing's distraught look after he left.

Come to think of it, sometimes it's too boring, and it's not a good thing.

……

Bai Shan left the study room where the Night King temporarily used to work, and went to the butler who was waiting outside to explain, "People from the West family will also be entertained according to the standards of other guests in the past, and the king has no time to receive them."

Hearing what he said, the housekeeper respectfully responded, not daring to have any objections to carry it out.

The night king's love for the young master was obvious to all. Others didn't know the origin of the young master, but he was such a fine person that he had already found out a little bit about it.

So much so that when the Naxi family sent someone to give gifts, they were all asking about the treatment that the young master received by the king's side, and he was keenly aware of something different.He left the person in the living room and came here to ask for instructions, but now it seems that the king doesn't care much about their Xi family.

After bidding farewell to the white shirt who had a higher status than himself, the steward returned to the living room with the news, looked at the handsome young master of the Xi family who was sitting there, and said politely: "Young master Xi, the king has something to do. Come back first."

Hearing what he said, Xi Xin's eyes flashed, as if he had guessed it a long time ago, and without further entanglement, he stood up and saluted the steward, and said politely:

"The king has a lot of affairs, and we are just ordinary people, and we don't expect to see the king. It's just that the younger brother has been away from home for a long time, and the parents at home are very concerned. If possible, they still hope to get news about him. I also hope that the steward will be in front of the king. Say a few good words for me, if the king thinks of Xiaomin, Xiaomin will be waiting for the king's messenger at any time."

After finishing speaking, he handed over a small pouch he had prepared in his hand to the steward. After the steward refused to accept it, he still said goodbye politely, with an unassailable expression on his face.

After Xi Xin left, the steward looked at his back and nodded, feeling that the young master of the Xi family was doing things safely and had thought of everything.Thinking of the purse handed over just now, I suddenly felt a pity again.Although the things are good, it's a pity that he can't accept them.

The moment Xixin stepped out of the hall, the old butler at home immediately greeted him and asked eagerly, "Master, how is it?"

Xi Xin glanced back at the heavily guarded hotel, and said calmly: "Go back first, we will talk about it when we see father."

"Yes."

Sitting in the carriage, Xi Xin thought about the situation just mentioned, and confirmed that the little brother favored by the Night King was indeed his concubine brother, Xi Ji.

Thinking of his face and figure, he turned the finger wrench in his hand, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. If his mother hadn't said it would be useful in the future, he would have taken him for his own use. It's a pity that now it's cheaper for others.

……

Only half a day away from the city.

"Mother, how much water do we need to carry?" The four or five-year-old boy took a broken wooden bucket and poured the returned river water into the field together with his mother.

He asked his mother's daughter to stretch out her big rough hand and touch his head. Looking at the scattered crops in the field, she said with a hoarse voice and a numb face, "I don't know, it depends on when God Have mercy on us, have mercy on us, and send some rain.

Otherwise, we can only fetch water bucket after bucket to irrigate these thirsty crops.If the harvest is not good, we will not be able to survive. "

The whole family, except for a toddler who is less than one year old, went to the river a few miles away to fetch water day and night to irrigate the crops.In this way, these crops were barely kept.

I just hope that the gods will see that they are so desperate, so that more food can be produced in the field, otherwise people in their family will still starve to death this year.

Thinking of her daughter who starved to death last year, the woman wiped away the dried tears from the corners of her eyes, then picked up the wooden bucket in her hand, and took her eight-year-old child to the river to fetch water.

Around her, there are many people like her, numbly carrying poles, watering their fields back and forth.

When she went back and forth and picked up a lot of water, and the sun was about to set, she finally saw her man come back.

Looking at her man's bitter and bitter face, the woman hurried up to meet her and asked anxiously, "Master, have you heard any news?"

The man looked sad, looked at his mother-in-law, frowned and said: "Then the Han family was indeed wiped out."

Hearing this, the woman's numb face finally showed some joy, and she looked at the man expectantly, "Does that mean we won't have to pay so much food this year?"

Men are not as naive as women, and the look on their faces is still ugly, "I don't know, the Night King is here, but I don't know who will re-manage our area. If there is another Han family, I'm afraid we won't be better this year." go there."

Hearing his words, the woman's face showed a little despair again, and even the expressions just now disappeared, "Then what should we do?"

"What to do, how do I know what to do, after all, we are just ordinary people, how can we fight those officers and soldiers." The man was also a little desperate when he said this.

As the head of a village, he was the first to know what happened to the Han family, and also the first to know that they had handed over so much food because the Han family was playing tricks on it.

While hating the Han family, he went to the city with some hope, hoping to find some chance for them to survive.But, as he said, he is just a grassroots person, and he can't even enter the gate of the place where the Night King lives, so how can he know what he thinks.

The man grabbed his head and was in great pain. If such a high tax was charged this year, not only his family would not be able to survive, but most of the other families in the village would not be able to survive.

No, even for the sake of his own children, he has to find a way.Thinking of this, a stern look appeared in the man's eyes.
