Arrived in another world for the 26th time, didn't come
On the way to the county town, Su Liangwei and Old Horse Head chatted happily. Old Horse Head drove the donkey cart while nibbling on the steamed buns that Liangwei had given him, telling Liangwei all sorts of interesting stories and boasting shamelessly.
They soon arrived at the county town.
"Uncle Ma, please stop the donkey cart first," said Lianyi.
"Alright," Old Horse Head stopped the donkey cart. "Lianyue, what's up?"
Ripples jumped down, holding a small package, "Uncle Ma, I won't go to the Li Mansion. How long will it take you to deliver the wine? I'll stroll around the county town market and meet up with you here later."
Old Horse rejoiced, patted his thigh, "Good girl, it should be like this, this marriage is about matching doors and households. That second son of the Li family is not someone our village can aspire to, even if you were to marry him reluctantly, there wouldn't be a good life. Big Tiger may not love speaking, but he has great strength and can farm, you two will live well, your days will get better."
"......" Lin Wei smiled bitterly, "Yes, yes, Uncle Ma is right. Now I've also come to terms with it. I'll buy some things in the county town and then head back to the village with you." What a great injustice!
The two people made an appointment and parted ways, with Liangui going to the market in high spirits, while Old Horse Head drove a donkey cart to the Li Mansion.
In front of the Li's mansion, Cui'er led a group of people guarding the back door, and from afar, she saw the donkey cart sent by the Su family enter the backyard gate. Her whole body was tense. Today, she would definitely take that fatty's life!
The old horse led the donkey cart inside, and the small steward responded. Several young servants came forward to lift down three large wine barrels.
Why did Li's family, who were so big, want to drink Su's wine? There must be a reason.
Next to the village of Nasu, there is a large mountain that the villagers call Xian Shui Mountain. At the top of the mountain, there is a spring that flows down and collects into a pool at the waist of the mountain, without a single drop falling to the foot of the mountain. The water is clear and sweet, making tea fragrant and refreshing, and brewing wine with a rich flavor. Someone once tried to divert the spring water downhill, but after countless attempts, the spring mysteriously seeped into the ground at the pool, refusing to flow down the mountain.
Had no choice but to give up.
Su Family Winery is an ancestral winery that uses the old formula, where all the water comes from Xian Shui Mountain and is carried down by Su Village villagers one bucket at a time.
Li Fu'an, the master of Li's family, had tasted Su Family Brewery's wine by chance more than a decade ago and since then he has been addicted to it, drinking only Su Family wine.
Li Fu'an was a businessman, very astute, and had thought of directly buying the Su family winery or opening another winery at the foot of Xian Shui Mountain. So, he took advantage of inviting several major customers to drink wine and let them taste the Su family wine. However, the major customers did not show enthusiasm, combined with the difficulty of taking water from Xian Shui Mountain, Li Fu'an could only give up.
Thus, the Li family became the largest buyer of Su Family Wine Factory.
"Huh, why didn't that disgusting fatty come?" A little maid beside Cui'er curiously spoke up. These people were all brought by Cui'er to continue "cleaning up" Su Lianhuan.
Cui'er looked left and right, apart from the old man who delivered wine, she really didn't see Su Lianwei. "You go think of a way to ask, be clever." She commanded a clever little maid.
"Yes, Sister Cui." The little maid replied and quickly walked over.
At the back door, the butler received the wine and wrote a receipt for Old Horse. At this time, the little maid walked over with a smile, "Uncle came to deliver the wine, why didn't I see Sister Ling?"
Lao Ma saw that it was a new maid, and didn't know when Yunying had become friends with the maid. "Yunying went to the market to buy things today, she didn't come to the Li's house."
"Ah?" Not only the little maid, but also the small steward and the young servant beside her couldn't help but wonder, how could Su Lianhui not have come to the Li Mansion? How strange!
"Is that so? Will Lianying come back soon? I haven't seen her for a few days, and I've been thinking about her a lot." said the little maid.
Lao Ma Tou was a simple-minded old man, who really thought that this little girl and Lian Yi were good friends. "Today Lian Yi didn't come, she just made an appointment to meet at the county gate, after she finishes shopping we'll head back to the village."
"Oh, I see, thank you, uncle." After saying that, he quickly left again.
If this had happened a month ago, Old Horse would have been puzzled for a long time. The maid in the Li's mansion was also of higher status than the village girls, so why did he fall in love with Su Lianwei? But after these few days of contact, it was discovered that Lianwei was not bad either, and maybe this little maid had discovered it earlier too.
Behind the strange rockery, a group of maidservants hide here.
"Cui'er sister, the fat guy didn't come to the Li's house after all. The old man said that the fat guy went to the market to buy things today and wouldn't be coming to the Li's house." The little maid reported.
"What? Not coming?" A group of maids exclaimed in surprise.
Cui'er was also at a loss for a moment, "You guys watch here, I'll be right back." This task concerned her life, she didn't dare to neglect it, and ran towards the second young master's study.
Haitang Garden, Li Yutang and the housekeeper were facing each other, their expressions calm and collected, as if they had nothing to do with the murder that was about to take place in the backyard.
"Second Master, Second Master, requesting an audience with the Second Master." Cui'er's urgent voice sounded outside the study.
The head housekeeper of the Li family followed Master Li Fu'an, while the second housekeeper followed Second Young Master Li Yutang. Cui'er's loud and unruly shout caused the second housekeeper, who was standing by waiting on him, to frown tightly, just as he was about to go out and scold her, but Li Yutang spoke up.
"Everyone get out and let her in." The voice was flat, emotionless.
"Yes." The two housekeepers led the servants out of the study, and Cui'er came in, kneeling down with a thud. "Second Master, that dead fatty... no, it's Su Lianhuan, didn't come."
"Say it all." Li Yutang, dressed in white, was leisurely flipping through the account book, while Cui'er broke out in a cold sweat.
"Hurry to calm down, 'Back to Second Master, Su Lianwei didn't come to the Li Mansion. The old man who sent wine from the Su family said that Su Lianwei went to the market to buy things and then returned directly to the Su Village.'"
Li Yutang's slender fingers paused for a moment before returning to normal, "Go down."
"It is." Cui'er's heart finally put down, and Er Gongzi was informed.
"The ink is thick." Cuier went out, and that faintly distant voice came from the study again.
"Yes, Second Young Master."
He flipped over another page with his fingers, "Send someone to take a look, what is Su Liangwei doing."
"Yes." Mo Nong walked out.
"Come on in, let's continue."
The sound fell, and the second master led the servants into the house to continue checking the accounts. Li Yutang was still calm and composed, as if nothing had happened at all.
At the same time, on the other hand, Su Lianwei was very busy.
First went to the pharmacy, bought a small mortar for medicine, exchanged silver tickets for loose silver coins, then went to the blacksmith's shop to buy several sharp small knives, weighed a few taels of good tea, bought some needles and threads, and returned to the county gate.
When Lianyi arrived, Old Horse had been waiting for a long time.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Uncle Ma." Lianyi said, carrying a heavy small millstone and quickly walking a few steps. Old Horse helped her take the millstone and loaded it onto the donkey cart, "What's this thing for?"
Lianyi smiled, "It wasn't me who bought it, but Dahu asked me to buy it. I don't know what he wants to do with it." Poor Dahu, he was framed like this. This insignificant matter, Lianyi didn't want to explain further, anyway Old Ma would forget about it later.
The old horse hurriedly drove the donkey cart and slowly headed out of the county town.
"Uncle Ma, this is for you." He handed over one of the packages of good tea.
The old horse head took it and sniffed it through the paper package. "Wow, this is good stuff, it's expensive, uncle can't accept it." He said, and then handed it back to Lianhui.
"It's not expensive, it's cheap. My family has too many clothes, and they can't be worn out before they go out of style. I picked a few that I didn't like and exchanged them for some money to buy things. Uncle Ma can't refuse, this is also the intention of being a younger generation."
Lao Ma Tou was moved, he was just a long worker at the Su family winery, but was treated with such respect by Miss Su, and naturally felt very moved. "Liuyi Yaotou, previously Uncle misunderstood you, you're a good girl," he said sincerely.
Lingling smiled silently, using the opportunity to tidy up her things as she turned around, and the smile on her face faded into contemplation. If she wasn't mistaken, someone had been following her since she left the pharmacy, tailing her all the way.
She thought those people were going to rob her, so she kept walking into the crowd, but now that she thinks about it, those people's clothes were clean and tidy, their fabric was exquisite, they didn't look like ordinary bandits, but rather like servants of a wealthy family.
"Oh, right! Lianyutou, just now when I was delivering wine, a young maid came to ask me where you went, saying she hadn't seen you for several days and missed you." Old Ma hurriedly said.
"Yahuan? Thinking of me?" Liang Wei was taken aback, and suddenly had a strong premonition that the people today were from the Li manor, what exactly did they want to do?
