At night, the light in the house is dim.
Song Xintong sat on the bed, looking at her and Lu Yunkai's shadow on the ground. She stretched out her legs and kicked Lu Yunkai, who was standing by to take off his clothes: "today, you and that young master Jiang have been muttering in the study for a long time, what did you say?"
Lu Yunkai threw his shirt on the screen next to him and sat down on the bed. "Before I sent him a letter, I asked him to help me find a farmer to buy and sell fruit seedlings."
"What happened then?" Song Xintong moved inside, opened the good quilt, shook it, and put it on his leg.
Lu Yunkai helped to arrange the quilt. "He found a family. The fruit harvest of his family has been poor. In the past few years, he lost all his money. He wanted to sell the orchard, but the price was too low. The boss wanted to cut down the fruit trees and grow grain instead. All the fruit trees in his family are adult trees, which will bear fruit in the next year. "
"What fruit trees are they?" Song Xintong asked as he fiddled with his hair.
Lu Yunkai took down the hairpin for song Xintong and carefully placed it under the pillow: "there are loquat trees, pear trees and plum trees."
"There should be a lot of these over there?" Song Xintong worried heart, think loquat is very delicious.
Lu Yunkai nodded: "there are a lot of these in Lingnan, but the fruit is not as delicious as that in Jiangnan."
"Oh, that's OK. I'll buy some other fruit trees then." Song Xintong thinks that Taohua village is full of peach trees, or peach trees, which are not delicious at all. "Let's go and have a look at the poplar trees, and buy more if it's suitable."
"Yes." Lu Yunkai has no opinion, as long as she is happy.
Song Xintong is eager to try, "then I will let him go tomorrow, and let the workers dig a good pit tomorrow. Dozens of acres of fruit forest should be able to grow a lot."
"Not afraid to keep alive?"
"It's going to feed you, not the flowers." Song Xintong thought about it and said, "if only the next year would be able to produce results, then we would be able to eat."
In this year, the only fruits I eat are less than children's big fisted peaches. The only pears I eat are from the shopkeeper in the county. I heard that they are from Lingnan city. I can imagine how poor Qingjiang county is.
Although they live on the mountain, the people in the village can't do anything except cutting firewood and hunting, just like there are so many Ramie on the other side of the mountain, and no one can use it to weave cloth, because they can't do it at all. At most, they can only draw some hemp thread to sew coarse cloth or bind things.
"If there's a surplus, sell it." Song Xintong was very happy at the thought of having all kinds of fruits to eat in the coming year.
"Well, I'll ask Jiang Mingzhao to look for some more. It's better to have them all year round."
"What's more, it's not good to find something different, if it's all pears and oranges."
"Good." Lu Yun said, "I have one more thing to tell you."
Song Xintong tilted his head and asked, "what's the matter?"
"Jiang Mingzhao told me that the case of the leakage of Lingnan city government examination items has been found out, and the list of business topics is not as long as song Changyuan, but he overheard the topic unintentionally, so the magistrate just eliminated the scholar's fame and did not have the qualification to strip him of the future scientific examination."
Song Xintong frowned, "so simple to let him out?"
"Of course not." Lu Yunkai said, "don't you want to know the specific situation? If she asks you for silver, you give it. "
"Oh?" Song Xintong is puzzled.
"If they want to get song Changyuan back, they need a ransom of 1000 Liang." Lu Yun said, "there are ten mu of land in the Song family, and it's only sixty Liang silver to sell it. So I asked Jiang Mingzhao to mediate and cajole song Changgui. They should come to you tomorrow at the latest."
"Don't worry, the silver will come back to us in the end." Lu Yunkai looks at Song Xintong's face and adds another sentence.
"That's about the same." Song Xintong thought about it and thought that it was the best way to let the government come forward, "but I'm afraid she will lie."
"It depends on whether she takes song Changyuan seriously."
Song Xintong nodded and gave Lu Yunkai a kiss on his face. "You still have a way. I thought you were going to start from the village. I didn't expect that."
Lu Yunkai is very satisfied with his wife's initiative to kiss, "according to Mrs. Zhang's temperament, in addition to the official can scare her, no one can scare her."
"Yes." Song Xintong turned his head and remembered what Jiang Mingzhao had said before he left, so he asked him, "what does Jiang Mingzhao want you to consider?"
"He told me about the scientific examination. He told me that I had better go to Huaxi Academy in Lingnan city. If I want to go, he will ask my elders to send me there."
"Are you going then?" Song Xintong asked, holding his cheek.
Lu Yunkai and song Xintong sat opposite each other. "I don't know yet."
"Is it better to go to the academy?" In fact, song Xintong knew that it would be better to go to the Academy. If you go to the Academy, it's equivalent to being taught, and many people discuss knowledge together. At home, it's equivalent to self-study, and you have to be bothered by trifles. "Then go to the Academy, and you can study at ease."
"I can do it at home, too." Lu Yunkai has this self-confidence, "and he has to teach, so he can't neglect their studies."
"But..." Song Xintong still wanted to speak, but Lu Yunkai covered his mouth with his fingers, "listen to me, OK?"
Song Xintong pursed her lips. "Are you worried about me and my mother?"
"Well, you are still pregnant. How can I leave at this time?" Lu Yunkai touched song Xintong's stomach, "why hasn't it become bigger?"
"It's a bit tough. I'm thinner. I should be pregnant in July." Song Xintong pulled Lu Yunkai's hand from his stomach. "I don't know whether it's a man or a woman."
"I like both men and women."
Song Xintong put his hands around Lu Yunkai's neck and gave him a kiss on his mouth. "I like girls. I can wear beautiful skirts for her."
"Good."
"It's very kind of you, Xianggong." Song Xintong went up to kiss again.
Lu Yunkai was hot and dry. He pulled song Xintong's hand down and said in a suppressed voice, "Xintong, don't make trouble."
"Well?" Song Xintong was a little closer, and his chest was tightly attached to Lu Yunkai's chest. He asked in a soft voice: "Xianggong, don't you want it?"
Lu Yun Gulu swallow saliva, breathing has become shortness of breath, "new Tong, your body is not good."
Song Xintong looked up at him and blinked, "it's been three months."
Lu Yunkai calculated the days. Just two days later, his heart wavered. "Can it work?"
"Yes." As soon as song Xintong finished his sentence, Lu Yunkai came up to kiss him. As soon as he tasted it, he became pregnant again. Until today, he has been teased. He really can't help it.
The light in the room is dim, and the shadows of the two people are intertwined and intimate.
