Chapter 419
"Grandmother, I have to go to the orchard in the southern suburbs immediately." Lin Wan received the letter on this day and hurried to Ci'anyuan and Cai's story.
Cai looked at Lin Wan in surprise and said, "Go to the southern suburbs?"
Lin Wan nodded: "Something happened in the garden, I have to rush to see it."
Cai's eyebrows moved, but did not agree immediately, but lowered his eyebrows slightly and didn't know what he was thinking.
Although Lin Wan was anxious, she knew she could not urge her, so she stood in front of Cai with a respectful look on her face and waited quietly.
Today's letter was sent by Qi Jun. It is said that if there is anything to do with Guoyuan, it shouldn't be delivered to her, but Mr. Ye and Ye Damin have not been in the capital recently.
In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient. Once you became an official, you could only spend your time around your posts. The longest holiday was about half a month after the New Year's yamen sealed it.
Once you are promoted to an official position, you will no longer have time to do things like returning home to worship your ancestors.
In order to give Jinshi time to deal with common affairs before entering the officialdom, the Dayu Kingdom had an extremely humane rule, that is, there would be a three-month holiday before the new Jinshi joined.
After learning that the three-month holiday had been around, Mr. Ye had the idea of going back to Shu to worship his ancestors and move his graves.
The Ye family has been out of Shu for more than ten years and has not had the right opportunity to return to Shu.
This time, the three brothers of the Ye family were in high school together, and Ye Qing also became a relative and was about to return to Shu to comfort his ancestors.
Although the road to Shu is difficult, it is possible to walk through the water from the capital.
Of course, even if you go on the water, there will be certain risks. However, three months are enough to fight back and forth between Shu and the capital, so there is enough time to worship ancestors or even repair ancestral tombs.
The Ye family set off for Shu on April 15th. Because they were going upstream, it would take a long time to go. It is expected that the Dragon Boat Festival would have to pass by the boat, and it should still be floating on the river now.
Before leaving, Mr. Ye explained the matter properly. These days, Lin Wenqing took Lin Hongxuan to the southern suburbs from time to time.
The uncle and nephew had just been to the southern suburbs two days ago, and had never heard them mention anything about the orchard.
Cai was confused here, but the anxiety between Lin Wan's eyebrows could not deceive others.
After staring at Lin Wan silently for a moment, Cai always nodded, but was worried that Lin Wan would go to Nanjiao alone and said, "It just so happened that nothing happened recently, so my grandmother would accompany you to Nanjiao for a walk, and she would also relax her lazy bones."
Lin Wan opened her mouth and didn't want Cai to follow her, but now she doesn't know how serious the pests in the orchard are. She doesn't know if she will come back anytime after she goes there. It's better to let Cai accompany her and have an excuse to live in the southern suburbs.
But in this way, I am afraid I will not be able to leave that day.
Lin Wan frowned slightly, afraid that the sisters would follow them all to the southern suburbs after getting the news.
If there weren't any pests in the orchard, it would be fine if the sisters followed them to stay in the garden for a few days.
Although the peak season for mulberry fruits and bayberry ripening has passed this season, there should be some fruits in the orchard, so it is also a good thing for the sisters to taste the taste of picking and eating them now.
But there was a pest in the orchard? As stated in Qi Jun's letter, the situation was a bit serious. Lin Wan was thinking about how to deal with the pests? Naturally, she no longer had the intention to play with her sisters.
Seeing that Lin Wan did not object to her proposal to go to the southern suburbs, Cai frowned slightly. Thinking of Lin Wan's hurried appearance before, he understood what Lin Wan was worried about.
The urgent matters naturally need to be handled urgently, so Cai immediately ordered.
Half an hour later? Three carriages drove out from the side door of Zhennan Hou Mansion? They rushed towards the south gate.
Tang looked at him slowly and couldn't help but shake his head.
She didn't know that Cai's trip was because of Lin Wan, and she felt that the older Cai's age, the more strange the temper he had.
It was noon, but he said he was leaving? He didn't even have lunch!
Fortunately, Lin Wan is still with Cai? She will never let Cai be hungry and tired.
But Tang always felt that this matter was a little weird.
In the past, Cai said he wanted to stay in the Nanjiao Village for a few days. Lin Wan could always persuade Cai to wait for the mansion to prepare before leaving. Today, it took only half an hour from Cai's speech to departure.
Could something happen in the southern suburbs?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that there was such a possibility. So, was something wrong in the orchard or something in the winery?
Tang quickly sent someone to find Lin Hongxuan.
However, Lin Hongxuan followed Lin Wenqing to Datong County because of business matters.
Although Datong County also belongs to the suburbs of Beijing? It will take more than an hour to return to the city, not to mention that their uncle and nephew took a carriage today? It is not certain whether they can come back today!
At this time, Tang already knew that Cai went to the southern suburbs today because of Lin Wan, and because Lin Wan received a letter from the southern suburbs, she became even more concerned.
He was unable to retrieve Lin Hongxuan for a while, and Tang was really worried about the orchards and wineries in the southern suburbs? After much consideration, he asked someone to spread news to Lin Xiuwu.
What a coincidence? Lin Xiuwu, who is not a jobless person, used to tease his great-grandson in the mansion? He also found a few old friends to go to Mingxuan for tea, but today he became interested in going to Xishan Camp.
When Lin Xiuwu received the news and returned to Zhennan Hou Mansion, it was almost the end of Shen. Even if Tang had greater concerns, it would be impossible for Lin Xiuwu to go to the southern suburbs at this time.
Lin Xiuwu was not as panicked as Tang. In his eyes, Lin Wan was not the kind of person who was not a good person. No matter how hasty he left, he would definitely leave news in Qingyunju or Ci'anyuan. Therefore, when Lin Xiuwu returned to the mansion, he asked the people from Ci'anyuan and Qingyunju to ask questions. Sure enough, Lin Wan left news specifically before leaving, so he naturally quickly found out the cause and consequences of the matter.
When he learned that Cai and Lin Wan hurried to the southern suburbs, Tang was worried about the orchard and was upset that his concern would be messed up. If he had gone to Qingyunju earlier, he would not have been panicked.
"The Ye family left Beijing and went to Shu. Even if it went smoothly, it would take at least two months. Why did the pests occur at this time?" Tang frowned.
"Who can predict when there will be pests? The most useless thing at this time is panic. The Ye family made a lot of arrangements before going to Shu. Isn't there any personal disciples of Ye's family in the orchard? Besides, Sister Wan has already rushed over, so don't worry about the orchard. Just keep in mind the affairs of the mansion. I'll go to the southern suburbs tomorrow morning." Lin Xiuwu looked at Tang, who was a little unhappy, and said in a faint tone.
Although Tang had been married into Zhennan Marquis' Mansion for more than 20 years, he did not have many opportunities to contact Lin Xiuwu and did not know much about Lin Xiuwu, but he still felt the displeasure in Lin Xiuwu's words, and quickly stood up and responded with respect, not daring to show any panic.
