With good wine and good food, and a rare meal of rice, everyone was full.
There is a lot of rain in Huangyang Town, and the farmers' harvests are not very good. Usually, after paying taxes, there is not much food left.
Therefore, everyone is very frugal, and most of the time it is clear soup with little water, except for Chinese New Year, when steaming hot rice.
This is also the reason why children love Chinese New Year.
After seeing off the Liang family and Li Zheng and his wife, Lu Sheng came back to clean up the dishes.
Originally Fang Shi, Aunt Yu and Chen Shi wanted to stay and help, but they were all driven away by her.
After tidying up the bowls and chopsticks, and calling the two little ones to take a bath, it was getting dark.
Lu Sheng lay on the bed, thinking about what Chu Yun said to Chu Sihan today, he always felt ominous in his heart.
Apart from the Chu Mansion and Shangguan Mansion, the Deng family's status in Huangyang Town is one of the best.
It is said that it is as famous as the Yu Mansion. From this point of view, the property of the Deng family should not be underestimated.
Deng Rumeng said that the county magistrate of Shangguan colluded with Zhao Wei. Now that Zhao Wei has been imprisoned, there is nothing to fear.
But Shangguan county magistrate, seeing such a large amount of property being included in the national treasury, but he has nothing, is afraid that he will not be happy.
If she guessed right, Chu Sihan should be in a hurry to send the property to the capital when he returned to Linjiang Mansion this time.
Now, this property has been reported by Chu Sihan. If the property cannot be sent to the capital safely, then it may be considered a crime of deceiving the emperor.
I was afraid that the county magistrate of Shangguan would collude with Chu Silin, tamper with him secretly, and then plant the blame on Chu Sihan.
Then what will Chu Sihan do
Lu Sheng didn't know what she was worried about. When she came to her senses, the night was already very deep.
After waking up the next day, Lu Sheng went to Aunt Yu's pigpen, picked up two buckets of pig manure, and prepared to use them to pour vegetables.
"This child looks thin and small, but he didn't expect to be so strong."
Seeing that she picked up two big buckets full of pig manure and went out easily without bending her body, Aunt Yu was secretly speechless.
While watering the vegetables, Lu Sheng remembered what Chu Sihan had said.
He said that he would leave the day after tomorrow, that is, tomorrow, but he did not know when he would leave.
Thinking about it, she went to the backyard to see the crabs and crayfish again, and was slightly relieved to see that they were alive and well.
Back in the front yard, I talked with Lu Pao and Lu Xin for a while, and made them something to eat before going to Lizheng's house.
"Xiao Sheng is here?"
When Fang saw her, his brows and eyes softened a lot, and he hurriedly took care of her to come in and drink tea.
"Have you eaten yet? I'm here to ask my uncle something."
Fang nodded and said with a smile: "I've eaten, your uncle is drinking tea in the house."
The life of Tao's family is naturally much better than that of other people in the village. In addition, Tao Jia is in the tea business, so there is no shortage of good tea in Lizheng's family.
"Xiao Sheng is here? Come in and have a seat."
As soon as Li Zheng saw her, he cheerfully beckoned her to sit down.
After she sat down, he poured her a cup of tea himself.
Lu Sheng took it with both hands flattered, took a sip, and put it back on the coffee table.
"I came here today just to ask Uncle, how long will it take from our Huangyang Town to Linjiang Mansion?"
"It's not far. If you take a carriage, it will take about ten days."
After Lizheng finished answering, he asked suspiciously: "Why are you asking this? Could it be that you are going to Linjiang Mansion?"
Lu Sheng nodded, "I have something to do."
Li Zheng nodded, and asked again: "Is there enough money? If not, just tell Uncle that although Uncle is not a rich man, he can always afford a few dozen taels."
