Farmer's happy event

Chapter 383 Remembering
Lianzi read in Mr. Xu's study for a while, and only saw Su Keyan come back when the sky was getting dark.

"I'm back." Lianzi said, taking over the big fur cloak he had taken off.

Su Keyan turned around and sat down, poured a cup of hot tea, and heard Lianzi ask, "Where did you go?"

When she was in the capital last time, she was new here and unfamiliar with everything. Su Keyan was worried about her, so every time she went out, she always went with her.This time she went, but he didn't accompany her.In fact, in Lianzi's heart, there was still a slight discomfort in her heart.

"Colleagues are invited, and it's over." Su Keyan said.

Although he doesn't have to go to school every day to study now, he has become an official after all, and she can't fully understand the ways of the officialdom.

"Yes, it would be such a pleasure to be invited by colleagues, to hang out with prostitutes, and to have a few drinks." Lianzi also sat down at the table while talking, with her hands on her cheeks, as if A very fascinated look.

But her tone of voice was completely different from this. No matter how you listened to it, it was a bit sour.

Su Keyan looked at her, smiled and said, "What are you thinking?"

Lianzi also laughed.

She absolutely believed in Su Keyan's behavior, but she also knew that men in the officialdom were often involuntary, and she was actually just reminding him.

Su Keyan saw that she stopped talking suddenly and just stared at the table in a daze, so he couldn't help but hold her hand and said, "Don't worry, it won't."

There was a faint smile in the corner of his eyes, but he concealed seriousness, which made Lianzi feel comforted.

"Let me tell you something." Lianzi said suddenly.

"You said."

"Didn't you say last time that we can also buy a pond in this capital to raise fish, do you think we can buy it now?"

That's what happened.

Su Keyan nodded and said, "Of course."

As long as she likes it, even if there is no pond, he is willing to dig one just for her.

Lianzi knew that as long as it was her proposal, he would definitely support it.

"Then have you seen a pond somewhere in the outskirts of the city? It doesn't have to be very big, it's fine if it's a little smaller than the one at my house."

Her fish farming here is just to pass the time when she is idle and bored, and she doesn't have to rely on it to make money or make a career.So, it doesn't have to be too big, just a little smaller.

"I haven't found it yet. I'll find someone to inquire about it for you tomorrow. If there is a suitable one, I will buy it first." Su Keyan said.

"Mmm." The corners of Lianzi's lips rose, and a bright smile appeared.

A few days after this incident, Mrs. Zhou came to talk to Lianzi again, and Lianzi mentioned to her about finding a pond and asked her if she knew where there was one nearby.

Mrs. Zhou thought for a while and said, "I really don't know where there is a small pond here, but I remember that there seems to be one near the Dabei Temple in the north of the city. It's not very big, only half an mu of land. look."

As an official wife, but not a country woman, how would she know where there is a pond?It's just that when I went to the Great Compassion Temple to worship, I saw it through the window of the carriage.

But this is enough for Lianzi.

"Then who owns this pond?" Lianzi asked again.

Zhou laughed lowly: "Who else can have this? Of course it belongs to the imperial court."

"That's it." Lianzi frowned.

If this is the case, it will not be easy to handle.

"My sister, if she wants to use this pond, she can lease it, and she can use it after paying some money." Zhou said again.

"Really?" Lianzi asked happily.

The man in Zhou's family is the general judge of the capital, so he is naturally familiar with the affairs in the capital.

"Well, if you ask Mr. Su to find Mr. Xu, the county magistrate, this will definitely happen."

Lianzi happily took Zhou's hand, and said with a smile, "It's great to know such a good person as my sister."

She said that she knew nothing about the capital, and it was not an exaggeration at all.Fortunately, after coming here, I met Mrs. Zhou, but he helped her a lot.

"Sister, don't be too polite. Sister, I can't do anything else, but after all, I have spent most of my life here, and I know a lot of things."

"En." Lianzi nodded, what is needed is someone like her who knows a lot.

"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you," Zhou said suddenly, "The family you want to buy a house has news that they will move out on the 28th of this month."

On the 28th, doesn't that mean there are exactly ten days left?

"You should prepare well, find the craftsmen first, and then repair it again after they leave, so that you can move in sooner." Zhou said again.

Lianzi nodded and said with a smile, "I see, I'm sorry for your trouble."

She has already visited the house, and she is not dissatisfied with the layout inside. She only needs to change the door plaque, replace the furniture inside with new ones, and paint the areas that need to be repainted. It is very simple. .

"Because of this matter, I have made my sister worry a lot, and it seems to be my fault." Lianzi said, "After we move to a new house, my sister must go there. elder sister."

Mrs. Zhou said with a smile: "That's good, I'd like to try my sister's craft."

The two of them were talking, and without knowing it, they talked about the private affairs of the official in Beijing.

"Sister, do you know that Mr. Li, Minister of Rites, recently married a new wife." Zhou said with a mysterious look.

Minister of Rites?It sounds familiar.Lianzi thought about it again, and then remembered, isn't it that Li Mo?That is Li Shulan's father.

Speaking of this, she became unhappy again.When Li Shuxuan came to see her off when she left Beijing, Lianzi was really annoyed.

One Li Shulan made her almost overwhelmed. Finally, she entered the palace and couldn't make any troubles, but a younger sister appeared on the way.

This Li Mo is also true, just because she has another daughter, she is already depressed, and she even married another wife.If this lady thinks the same as Li Shuxuan, then should she live?

"Oh, whose girl is it?" Lianzi asked indifferently.

Mrs. Zhou chuckled and said, "It's not a lady from a great family, she's just the daughter of an ordinary businessman's family. She's only seventeen this year."

"Ah?" Lianzi was surprised.

Li Shulan and Su Keyan are of the same age, and they are both nineteen years old this year. Li Mo's newly married daughter-in-law is really young enough.No wonder Zhou talked about it with her in a very mysterious manner.

"However, Mr. Li is very pitiful. His wife is dead, and there is only one daughter under his knees. Originally, he could recruit a son-in-law, but now that he enters the palace and becomes a concubine, there is no hope at all." Zhou Shi shook his head and sighed.

What she said was true, and it was precisely because Li Shulan entered the palace that he newly recognized Li Shuxuan as his daughter and raised him as his own daughter. He recruited a son-in-law to come in for her, and he barely left a little incense.

However, he is only middle-aged now, and he can still regenerate after marrying a daughter-in-law.

"I'm only 17 years old, but I'm really young." Lianzi said.

Mrs. Zhou nodded: "If you compare with Mr. Li's age, then you are really young, but after all, Mr. Li is a high-ranking member of the imperial court, and the girl's family is just an ordinary wealthy businessman. Good luck."

That's right, if you marry a first-rank official, you will definitely get a royal title in the future. For her natal family, it is also a great thing to honor the lintel.Even if it's a little older, but what does that matter?
"I heard that Master Li recognized a foster daughter." Lianzi said.

It's easy to say not to think of Li Shuxuan, but now that she thinks about it, she is not calm anymore.

Looking at her like that at the beginning, it was obvious that she had plans for Su Keyan, and she even said things like being a flat wife.

In terms of brains, Li Shuxuan is far behind Li Shulan, but the more this kind of person who has no brains and only knows how to mess around, the more difficult it is to deal with.Lianzi didn't want to cause any unpleasant things in the future because of her.

"Yes, it's been a while since Mr. Li came back soon." Mrs. Zhou said, "I heard that Mr. Li was rescued when he was exiled. And the life of this girl's family is also going well." It was very difficult, so I recognized it as a daughter-in-law."

Speaking of this matter, Li Mo is quite conscientious, but it just caused a lot of trouble for Lianzi.

"Then, girl, have you found someone now?" Lianzi asked again.

If she found it, she would relax a little.

But to her disappointment, Mrs. Zhou shook her head and said, "Not yet, Mr. Li must have wanted to keep her at home to recruit a son-in-law."

It's also the same reason, and although Li Mo is really kind to her, but she is not her biological daughter after all, and she will definitely become an obstacle when looking for a marriage.

It's not her own daughter, she's even worse than a concubine's daughter. In the future, it's not like if you don't want it, you don't want it.

Even if she wanted to find a husband for her, she was just a foster daughter, and those whose family background was slightly better would certainly not be willing.

The two sat for a while and said some other words, it was getting late, Zhou got up to leave.

Lianzi sent her to the door, and not long after entering, she saw Su Keyan coming back from the early morning.

"Madam Tongju came just now?" Su Keyan asked.

When he was just at the door, he saw her carriage.

"Yeah, I just left."

Lianzi and Su Keyan entered the room, and she poured him a cup of hot tea.

"Let me ask you," Lianzi sat down at the table suddenly, looked at Su Keyan with a serious look and said, "Then Li Shuxuan, what's going on?"

"What?" Su Keyan had just taken a sip of water, and before he could swallow it, he was stunned for a moment when he heard her ask this question.
