Chapter 91 Otherwise, what are you looking at, internal organs?
The Golden Crow falls in the west and the Jade Rabbit rises in the east.
A torch was already lit under the old elm tree. Lu Chengjing turned to the last page of the account book and read out the names and amounts in a slightly hoarse voice.
There are not many literate people in the village, and even fewer people can read the words in the account book from beginning to end. Therefore, no one could help Lu Chengjing with his work. Even if he deliberately saved his voice and read it all afternoon, his voice would inevitably become hoarse.
Zhang and others can take turns, and their voices will still be loud when they sing repeatedly.
Mrs. Rong and Aunt Zhang weighed the grain together according to the numbers chanted, while Aunt Zhou took turns to rest aside.
Shang Wan went to Yuan's house to borrow honey, mixed it with a large pot of honey water, and poured a cup for each of Lu Chengjing's throat users.
Lu Chengjing drank honey water while reading the ledger. When the last bag of food was distributed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The villagers all happily went home with the food in their arms.
Wu Mingli and Liu Cheng helped pack up the cart and tied torches to it to make it easier for Shan Dajun and his party to walk at night.
Shan Dajun and the others were quite embarrassed. Originally, it was their job to distribute the food, but in the end it was all done with help from the villagers. They were able to eat and drink and rest nearby all afternoon.
After discussion with several village elders, Father Wu planned to treat the men to a meal before leaving.
The food distribution went so smoothly today, despite the wishes of Li Zheng and the village chief, thanks to a few people.
Unexpectedly, before they could say the treat to the guests, Village Chief Lin said first, "Master, it's getting late. You can't go on a night journey with an empty stomach. We have already prepared a meal at home and steamed a strip of bacon. Come with me." Let’s eat.”
When several servants heard that there was bacon, they thought that other dishes would be good too. They felt greedy in their hearts and looked at Shan Dajun one after another.
The look in his eyes clearly said: I agree, I can go back to the city after having a full meal.
Shan Dajun didn't care where to eat. Since everyone had prepared it, he could go.
He nodded in agreement, "Sorry to bother you."
Village Chief Lin immediately smiled and greeted Lin Jianshan, "Boss, take the torch and lead the messenger to your home."
"Okay." Lin Jianshan agreed, casually removed a torch, and stepped forward to lead the way.
Shan Dajun and others followed. Shan Dajun turned his head specifically to see the reactions of Shang Wan and Lu Chengjing. In fact, he wanted to have dinner at Lu Xiucai's house.
However, he thought so, but Shang Wan didn't.
It's not that I'm reluctant, but that I'm not prepared.
Shitou brought He Sizhi's master and apprentice, and immediately four more mouths were added to the family, and the bowls and chopsticks were barely enough. If Shan Dajun and his entourage were recruited, there would really be nothing left to eat.
Besides, Xiaohuan is so tired cooking alone.
Anyway, there must be someone in the village who would entertain Shan Dajun and his entourage. Shang Wan thought about it for less than a second and listed his own house among those who would take the initiative to host them.
At this moment, Shang Wan selectively ignored Dan Dajun's expectant look, lowered his eyes and rubbed Lu Chengjing's sore wrist.
After the group of people left, Aunt Yao couldn't help but blame her man, "I asked you to tell me sooner. Now it's fine. I have been invited by the Lin family."
"We don't have bacon at home." Father Wu said, "If you can't serve good food, don't offend people."
These official servants are no better than peasants. How can they eat without meat and fat?
Aunt Yao refused, "Let's put together a dish as a family. Wouldn't it be enough to cover the entire table? Where would there be no good food?"
Aunt Zhou also felt that it was a pity. If she could establish a good relationship with the official, she would have more backers if anything happened in the future.
However, now that everyone has been invited away by the Lin family, it is useless to think too much.
"Thank you for your hard work today, Mr. Xiu Cai." Mr. Liu took out a bulging cloth bag and said to Lu Chengjing with a smile, "We old guys have discussed it, and we can put together a little as a thank you gift. Please also ask Mr. Xiu Cai Mo To despise it.”
"I don't dare to take it." Lu Chengjing was slightly stunned and refused, "Two points have been taken up in accounting. Everyone is helping today. It is not my fault alone."
"Take it." Father Wu directly put the bag on Lu Chengjing's lap, "If it weren't for Mr. Xiu Cai's help in settling the accounts, I don't even know how long it would take to settle the accounts today. How could the food be distributed so quickly? This is what everyone wants.”
Aunt Zhou and others also helped to persuade.
"Take it."
"Master Xiu Cai, we all sincerely thank you."
"Hurry up and accept it." Lu Chengjing couldn't resist, so he accepted the thank you gift.
"Gululu..."
Many people's stomachs made a rumbling sound.
"It's all gone." Father Wu smiled and waved his hand, "Hurry up and go home for dinner. You will be full tonight."
Everyone looked at each other, smiled, and went home.
The night breeze blows gently, bringing a chill.
Shang Wan tucked his hair behind his ears, lowered his head and asked the young man in the wheelchair, "Is it cold?"
Maybe he was tired, but Lu Chengjing's face was a bit paler than usual, and his expression was also gloomy.
He shook his head and coughed a few times before he spoke, his eyes watery from the coughing.
Seeing this, Shang Wan unfolded his cloak and put it on him, whispering, "Drink so much... water, where did you replenish it?"
Lu Chengjing didn't hear clearly and asked in confusion: "What water?"
"It's nothing." Shang Wan pushed the wheelchair a little faster, "I heard Li Zheng talking to the village chief, and the village chief seemed to have a handle on our family."
Lu Chengjing's attention was diverted and he asked, "What's the reason?"
"I didn't say it." Shang Wan sighed in a mocking tone, "Why do you think the Lin family is like grasshoppers? They have suffered many losses and don't know how to learn from them. They keep jumping around."
There's no guarantee she'll do anything if her patience is exhausted.
"Are you bored?" Lu Chengjing turned his head and observed Shang Wan's expression with his dark eyes.
Shang Wan nodded calmly.
Lu Chengjing frowned slightly, "The Lin family still has some uses."
Shang Wan asked curiously: "What's the use?"
Lu Chengjing motioned to Shang Wan to come over and whisper a few words.
After hearing this, Shang Wan raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised. Then he thought that the Lin family could easily take out a hundred taels of silver, and he was no longer surprised.
She looked at Lu Chengjing suspiciously, "How did you know?"
Lu Chengjing said: "I found out by accident."
Shang Wan, haha, it was quite accidental.
"If Madam finds them annoying, they can be useless." Lu Chengjing's eyebrows were slightly cold, but the corners of his lips were slightly raised, "How about I share your worries for Madam?"
Shang Wan:?
Is her fox too tired or possessed by something weird?
Without hesitation, she stretched out her hand to lift Lu Chengjing's chin, making him tilt his head back to look at her.
Facing those black eyes with a hint of astonishment, Shang Wan squinted and looked at them carefully, and asked seriously: "How do you plan to make them useless?"
Lu Chengjing pursed his lips and remained silent.
Silence often represents acquiescence.
Shang Wan clicked his tongue lightly and moved his fingertips up Lu Chengjing's chin, slowly along the contours of his face, until he moved to the corners of the reddish eyes, and pressed lightly.
"Thinking too much is not conducive to healing. Be good and wait until the injury heals before you think about it again."
Lu Chengjing's eyes trembled slightly, dark emotions rolling in his heart, and he said harshly: "Don't you think I'm cold..."
"Calm and wise, considerate and lovely, with picturesque eyebrows and jade trees facing the wind, a face like a crown jade, orchids and jade trees, handsome and talented," Shang Wan gently flicked his long trembling eyelashes, "remember?"
Lu Chengjing's ears turned red instantly, "You really only care about my appearance."
Shang Wan: "Otherwise, what are you looking at, internal organs?"
Lu Chengjing: "..."
