Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 112 Set fire (2)
It's just that going back is going back, but it is inevitable that I will feel a little lost.

Luo Jinxing didn't appear again during the Ghost Festival this year, which made her feel that something was always missing.

At this time, Luo Jinxing returned to the capital after sweeping the tomb, and he had already left Songning City.

Xu Lin, who was walking by the car, also asked him: "My lord, why didn't you go to Miss Shen this year?"

Luo Jinxing said: "I go there for a few days every year. It is inevitable that she will become suspicious. I should go to Funing first and come here later. Anyway, I can stay here as long as I want this time. I have the opportunity to meet her."

Xu Lin and An Guang sniggered at the same time, and the eldest son of his family cared more about this girl Shen.

Xianglai, who returned to Erdaoji, was busy again. There were a lot of things in the farm waiting for her to solve. Shopkeeper Chen in Songning City found several shops and waited for her to visit them before making a final decision.

On this day, she and Xu Che visited six shops in a row and returned to the village. When they entered the courtyard, they saw a few more horses with bright saddles in the courtyard. Fan Limin, the long-term worker of farm tools, said, "Is there a visitor?"

Fan Limin said: "There are a few people here. I heard Huiling say who it is, Young Master Luo, and she is executing it inside!"

Xianglai couldn't help being overjoyed, thinking that Luo Jin would not be able to make it this year, but she didn't expect that it was only a few days later than before.

Just as he was about to walk into the house, Luo Jinxing saw a voice coming out from inside, standing at the door and smiling at her.

He didn't speak, and Xianglai didn't speak immediately, and the two looked at each other for a while.

Xianglai looked at the man at the door, his smooth face was lined with a soft silk shirt, standing in the light of the setting sun, he was extraordinarily warm, the moment he came out of the door, he was like a husband waiting for his wife to come home.

Luo Jinxing also looked at Xianglai, this woman worked all day long, and would get slightly tanned every summer, if he hadn't seen her fair face last winter, he would have thought she had such a complexion.But even so, she couldn't hide her beauty. I don't know if she has experienced the pain of losing her mother or has experienced a lot. She looks more stable and dignified, with a bit of ladylike bearing.

While looking at him, he smiled and said, "You're back, are you tired?"

Xianglai walked over quickly, also smiled and said: "Fortunately, when will I arrive, I am really sorry to ask you to wait here."

Luo Jinxing said: "I didn't arrive until after noon, there's nothing to wait for. I heard from shopkeeper Qi that you made the silver I sent into shares, so I'm also half of the owner here. I came here to return to my own village. , everything will be fine.”

Xianglai smiled again, and being with Luo Jinxing always allowed her to find a sense of relaxation from her busy schedule.

Entering the house, Xianglai chatted with Luo Jinxing while drinking water and resting, and said, "Jinxing seems to be here later than in previous years?"

Luo Jinxing said: "Yes, this year is busy, and I have been delayed elsewhere."

Xianglai said again: "I would like to come here at this time every year. Is it the bank here that pays the bill at this time?"

Luo Jinxing hesitated for a moment, and said, "Not all, I want to manage more than just the money bank."

An Guang, Xu Lin, and Xu Che who were in the same room thought to themselves: "Yes, your family fortune has grown, and the entire Beiliao will be yours in the future!"

The three laughed secretly here, but their faces were as tense as possible.

Still ignorant, Xianglai asked curiously, "Oh, what kind of business do you want to do?"

It's been the third year of knowing Luo Jinxing, Xianglai thought, with the current relationship between the two, it's not too much for him to want to know more about him.

To be honest, Luo Jinxing really didn't manage anything other than the bank, he pondered for a while and said, "Well, is it a business... For example, there is a farm here!"

Xiang Lai was a little dissatisfied, thinking that Luo Jinxing didn't want to inquire about his family background, so he took a sip from his teacup and raised his head to chat about other things nonchalantly.

Soon it was time for dinner, and Luo Jinxing knew that there were enough people here in Xianglai, so he didn't bring his own cook or anything. They ate the big pot of rice cooked by the village women.

During the meal, he couldn't help asking Xianglai, saying: "By the way, you know a lot of people in Songning County now, but have you heard of any differences between Songning and other places?"

Xianglai asked strangely: "What's the difference? If I say the difference, it might be me, because I grow rice here, and no one in other counties grows it... Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

Luo Jinxing thought for a while, and it must not be the reason. After listening to Xiang Lai's question, he said, "Don't worry too much about something I've revealed to you. That... I heard that Goryeo is going to lease two counties, Songning and Funing."

The chopsticks that Xianglai brought to his mouth stopped at that moment, his eyes widened, and he asked in surprise: "What, the Koreans want to rent Songning? Is this true?"

Luo Jinxing nodded and said: "Well, I got the news from court officials. It has been two months. Although it has not been settled, it has been under discussion."

Xianglai was no longer in the mood to eat, put the dishes in a bowl, and said, "Don't worry about such a thing, if Songning County is rented out, wouldn't my farm be gone?!"

Luo Jinxing quickly comforted her, saying: "I told you not to worry, I just heard that there will be a turning point if the matter is not really settled, not to mention that even if it is really rented out, the imperial court will not take your farm in vain, it will I will give you compensation!"

Xianglai sneered, and said: "Compensation, the court's compensation is just a little symbolic, can we still expect them to repay my loss in full? Moreover, once Songning is in the hands of the Koreans, then our people here will The common people are enslaved, the fields are not their own, the mountains are not their own, the rivers are not their own, and there is no way out except for leaving their hometowns!"

Luo Jinxing didn't expect her reaction to be so strong, he put down his chopsticks and said, "It's okay, don't worry, I will find a way."

Xianglai said: "What can you think of? It's the court's business. You are just a businessman. Can you still influence the politics of the Northern Liao Dynasty?"

Luo Jinxing turned his head guiltily, and persuaded again: "Anyway, even if it is settled, it will be a matter of a few months later, and the crops will be recovered by then. At worst, I will try to sell the farm before the news spreads. Then transfer to other counties to rebuild."

Xiang Lai sighed, until now, she can only point at Luo Jinxing, and now she is very glad that she gave Luo Jinxing the 3 taels of silver as a stake, otherwise I am afraid he would not be so hardworking, so she is considered lucky up.

Thinking of this, she calmed down, continued to eat with chopsticks, and asked while eating: "Then you asked if Songning is different from other places, and you are also wondering why Gaoli rented this place?"

Luo Jinxing said: "Yes, it is said that the reason why Goryeo rented this place was to develop fields and fish and hunt, but as far as I know, Goryeo's land is not small compared to the population, and it is near the river and the sea. The reason they gave for fishing and hunting is extremely It’s far-fetched, but it’s still possible to say that there are some rare minerals here.”
