Chapter 106 9 The host is also a wonderful person
"You're not talking about... seeds that can grow on rocks, are you?" Si Mo waved his hand: "My dear, how can you believe that? It's just a way for them to recruit people."
"Not necessarily." Si Jia said: "Some things are both true and false, and it's hard to tell."
"You mean..." Si Mo's eyes gradually widened: "Is there really such a magical seed?"
Si Jia looked towards the door with a gloomy look: "We'll know if we go check it out tomorrow."
"I'm afraid they won't let us go out." Si Mo sighed.
He had just checked and saw two men in black guarding the door. Judging from their attire, they should be the Red Mansion killers.
"Let's take a look first." Si Jia remained calm and composed.
"That's all we can do." Si Mo sighed again. Seeing that Si Jia had nothing more to say, he quickly walked out of the room and gathered the other guards together.
"There's something strange going on here. We have to be vigilant at all times and not make any mistakes."
"Don't worry, chief." The guards looked determined.
Just as he finished explaining, there was a knock on the door: "Guest, your food is ready. Do you want it delivered now?"
Si Mo's heart trembled. He waved his hand and asked them to find a place to stand, then he walked over and opened the door.
At the door stood a pretty woman with a smile on her face, followed by a row of servants, each holding a food box.
He is well-behaved and polite, and doesn't look like a robber at all. Instead, he gives people the feeling of being treated as a guest by a wealthy family.
Si Mo was stunned for a while, and then he said, "Thank you all, please come in."
Liu Xiaoyu nodded at him and then walked in.
Originally, she didn't need to be involved in this matter, but when she heard that it was the Ninth Floor Master who captured some kind of concubine for his master, she couldn't sit still.
Don't be another bad man with a smooth tongue.
However, as soon as she entered the house, she was stunned.
He was a young man in his twenties, elegant, calm and noble. When he saw them come in, he just nodded distantly and didn't look at them anymore. He was not at all smooth-talking.
Liu Xiaoyu felt relieved, and quickly asked the servants to put down the food and left.
The Ninth Floor Master is really something. She pesters her master to fight every day. This time it was even too much. Not only was she beaten up, but her master's arms and shoulders were also bruised. She has to go back and apply medicine to her.
After the door was closed again, Si Mo looked at the table full of delicious food and was silent for a long time.
"My dear, it seems that your guess is correct."
"In this harvest year, even in our county governor's mansion, we don't have such good food. Look, not only are there all kinds of meat, but there are also fresh vegetables, and more than one kind."
"Isn't this perfect?" Si Jia picked up the bowl and chopsticks, picked up a piece of fried cabbage and put it into his mouth. It was crisp and refreshing, and it must have been freshly picked.
"Although it was a bit of a mistake, I came to the right place."
Si Mo was startled by him: "My dear, be careful, it's poisonous."
How can you eat it without checking it?
"You guys can come too." Si Jia's expression didn't change at all, and he ate another bite of his chopsticks: "The Lord of the Red Mansion wants to kill us, why would he use poison?"
Well, Si Mo had to admit that if the Ninth Floor Master really wanted to kill them, a knife would be enough.
"My dear, do you really think that we have come to the right place this time?"
The purpose of their trip this time was to find a way out of the drought. Although the situation in Fengchuan County was not as serious as in Nanyue County, the yield of wheat they planted was also severely reduced.
This summer harvest was only 30% of the usual amount.
This is not enough to pay taxes, how are people supposed to survive?
"I'm just afraid that this big boss is unwilling to help."
"Let's see tomorrow. If their seeds are really that good, I will get them no matter what the cost." Si Jia's elegant face showed a rare serious expression.
I thought it would be difficult to go out and check.
However, the next day, when they said they wanted to go out for a walk, no one tried to stop them. Instead, they just said, "Don't go outside the villa."
He just stood there straight, without even any intention of following.
Si Mo: "..."
A little weird.
After walking a long way, he said, "What do they mean by this? Aren't they afraid of us seeing it?"
Si Jia was also confused by their actions: "Never mind, let's go to the direction of the fields."
They walked out of the house smoothly and were instantly surrounded by the green of the fields.
"This, this, this..." Si Mo pointed at the bean sprouts that had already bloomed, and was speechless.
As a personal bodyguard, he often went to the fields with his husband, so he could tell at a glance whether the crops were growing well or not.
"It seems that the rumors are true." Si Jia led a few people and quickly walked to the edge of the field. He squatted down to check the bean sprouts and touched the soil.
The bean sprouts grew strong and lush, but the soil was dry and not sticky.
"This big boss is really extraordinary, isn't he?"
Just at this moment, an old farmer came over there.
Si Jia thought for a moment and walked over to ask: "Excuse me, old man. I would like to ask, how long have you planted these beans? How much water do you need?"
The old man's eyes flashed, and then he started talking. He answered everything that was asked and not asked, and he explained it in great detail.
He must do well what the Ninth Floor Master has instructed him to do.
Si Mo exclaimed again, but Si Jia looked thoughtful.
After the old man left, he shook his head and smiled: "So that's how it is. This ninth floor master is also a wonderful person."
Sima was puzzled: "My dear, what do you mean?"
Si Jia did not answer him, but walked towards the villa: "It's time for us to meet the owner of this place."
Si Mo was stunned: "Will she meet us?"
After all, I didn't even look at them yesterday.
"Will do."
Luo Xi would indeed do so, because after the fight last night, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.
Although Jiuxian is belligerent, he is always meticulous and resolute in doing things, otherwise he would not have been able to sit firmly on the position of the owner of the Red Mansion for so many years.
So, he must have other purposes.
The next morning, Luo Xi got up early and prepared to ask him.
But just as he was leaving the house, Baihu came forward with a strange look on his face: "Hey, Madam Luo, the owner of the building said that he was seriously injured yesterday and had to return to the Red Mansion to recuperate. If you have anything to say, just ask me."
Luo Xi: "..."
Ran?
As for?
"Did he leave anything behind, or... words?"
Bai Hu nodded: "The host asked me to tell you the identity of that... ahem, the husband-in-law."
Luo Xi glanced over: "Speak properly."
Baihu shuddered and dared not joke anymore: "That young man is called Si Jia, the youngest son of the Right Prime Minister, and the current governor of Fengchuan County."
Luo Xi's eyes narrowed: "Is this Fengchuan County next to Tongning County?"
"Yes." Baihu nodded: "Moreover, the purpose of their trip is to find a way to survive the drought."
What was there for Luo Xi to not understand now? Jiuxian was creating an opportunity for her to win over Si Jia.
Luo Xi thought about it, went into the house and took out two large bottles of treasured liquor, a small bottle of spiritual spring water, and a large bag of snacks and handed them over.
"Send it to your landlord."
"Yes!" Baihu took it with a grin and quickly found someone to deliver it. This was the favorite of the OP.
I thought Madam Luo would be angry, but I didn't expect the result to be like this.
