1821: Oil Mandarin

Looking at the timid granddaughter who was taken down by the servants to rest, Matthew couldn't help but say something.

"She was a poor child."

Lu Zhengdao, "Bitter first and then sweet, whether it's very happy or not."

Matthew was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "You are thinking of going with me, do you know what nickname I gave her?"

Lu Zheng didn't know, Ma Xiu replied, "Oil oranges."

"Oil mandarin?"

Matthew nodded and said, "Yes, oily citrus, long-term consumption, light body, prolong life, after eating, it is bitter and then sweet, it is suitable for her."

Oil mandarin flowers bloom in spring and produce fruit in summer. Every mid-autumn, late summer and early autumn, oil mandarin fruit is full of branches and leaves.

This plant is also resistant to drought and barrenness, and has strong adaptability. It can be seen in some mountains in the south. The fruit is slightly bitter and then sweet after entering the mouth.

Lu Zheng heard Ma Xiu's meaning, and asked after a few moments of silence, "Where's your name?"

"Haven't taken it yet, this place of Beiyuan...what kind of name does a child of this kind of background want? It would be good to have a cheap name." Matthew was still smiling, but the smile never reached his eyes, his eyes Muddy and dead silent, the smile was just a habit he had formed for life in the past. Seeing that Lu Zheng was in a heavy mood, Ma Xiu thought for a while and said, "...Let's think about it again..."

Youganzi is just his nickname, but the child cannot be ridiculed by such a nickname in the future.

Lu Zheng said, "Well, take one. If you don't take one, I will decide when I adopt her in the future."

Matthew smiled and said nothing.

Lu Zheng is also a high-achieving student in Langya Academy, it is the child's blessing to name the child with his talent.

The two were silent for a long time, and Lu Zheng suspected that when Ma Xiu fell asleep, the latter suddenly talked about the past.

"I've been dreaming about scenes from my youth these past few days...except for you and Lan Ting, what's wrong with the original?"

Matthew hadn't mentioned these names for many years. He talked about them again after several years, but he found that he was still so familiar.

Buqu refers to Fangzhi, and Benzhi refers to Jiang Mo.

"It's not like I was in Nansheng before,

Later, he couldn't live in seclusion anymore, so he went north to Maruzhou to find Teacher Yuanjing, and found a teaching job in Jinlin Academy, but now his life is free. " Lu Zheng talked about the current situation of the old man, and sighed, "Benzhi...you may not know that the lord supports the poor family, so he has some quarrels with the gentry, but these quarrels have not yet been brought to the surface. Benzhi was born in a noble family, and he was able to do whatever he wanted in the early years, but his parents will always grow old one day, and the burden of the family still falls on Benzhi... In the end, they became estranged..."

On the one hand, he is a friend from his youth, on the other hand, he is a stubborn and conservative stance at home, Jiang Mo does not have the ability to put all his eggs in one basket.

Over the years, Jiang Mo has also changed from the second-year middle school boy who only loved two-dimensional paper people to the head of the deep clan in the city.

I remember a few months ago when Jiang Mo's eldest grandson was full moon, Lu Zheng made a special trip to congratulate him.

Jiang Mo was too happy to drink too much. When he was drunk, he hugged Lu Zheng and wept bitterly, and vomited bitterness to him.

He wants to stay in his teens forever, so that he doesn't have to bear the double pressure from the family and the outside world, let alone do things he doesn't like against his will, let alone become the type of person he hated the most when he was young. Lu Zheng didn't know how to comfort him. After waking up the next day, Jiang Mo acted like a normal person again, as if he couldn't remember what he had babbled after he was drunk.

"Shaoyin, do you think she will kill me if I touch Liu Lanting's bottom line?"

After thinking carefully, Lu Zheng replied, "If there is still a third of the old love, she will do it herself if it is not faked by others."

Jiang Mo cried and laughed after hearing this, waved his hand after a long time, and said tiredly, "You are right, I just hope that day will never come."

Lu Zheng withdrew his thoughts, but his heart was still heavy.

At this moment, he heard Ma Xiu say, "So, among the five of us, only Lan Ting has not changed."

Lu Zhengdao, "Those with a firm heart are not easy to be moved by foreign objects."

Without this kind of heart, she might not be able to get to where she is today.

I don't know if it's because he was thinking day by day and dreaming at night, but Matthew had a long dream that night.

This is also the most peaceful sleep he has had in so many years.

He dreamed of the green mountains and beautiful waters in Langya County, and Jiang Mo was sitting by the stream fishing with some baby fat, the scorching sun above his head made him listless, and Fang Zhi beside him was yawning sleepily. Lu Zheng and him were studying how to make the fire burn more vigorously.

At this time, Jiang Mo complained.

"Why is Lanting still in the future? The fish I caught will starve and lose weight..."

Matthew smiled and said, "I love to stay in bed when I'm young, aren't you lazy at his age?"

Jiang Mo's face turned red with anger, "How can anyone be so lazy?"

Just as he was talking, he heard the trampling of horseshoes, the sound of horseshoes on the opposite bank was getting closer, and a red and white shadow rushed out from the dense forest on the opposite bank.

Wearing a red robe, Liu Xi rode on the back of a tall white horse, steered the white horse across a narrow river, and landed steadily not far from them. Jiang Mo was taken aback by the movement, and the fish that took the bait just now ran away, so angry that he threw the fishing rod into the stream.

"Willow Orchid Pavilion!"

"Hoo!"

Liu Xi grabbed the reins to control the white horse to stand firm, jumped down, and took down the rabbits hanging from the horse's back.

"Don't you think that you can pay for my fish by hunting a few small objects?"

Liu Xi clasped his arms around his chest and said, "I stole the stuff that guy surnamed X raised in his backyard."

X so-and-so seems to be the second generation ancestor who embarrassed Jiang Mo a few days ago, saying that Jiang Mo was addicted to avoiding the fire map all day long but didn't know the beauty of the real person.

Liu Xi didn't say anything about stealing the rabbit that he had raised for a long time, if that guy found out, wouldn't he cry in anger?

Jiang Mo laughed when he heard this, but the others frowned.

No matter how grievances there are, you can't steal. If you act recklessly now, you will cause big trouble in the future.

After Lu Zheng, Fang Zhi and Ma Xiu took turns educating him, Liu Xi complained endlessly, and finally could only admit that she hunted the rabbit.

"Since it was hunted, why do you say it was stolen?"

Liu Xi smiled maliciously, "Isn't this to make you happy?"

Jiang Mo was furious.

"Liu Xi!"

Then there is barbecue, everyone's barbecue is not good, but if you roast it yourself, no matter how unpalatable it is, you have to swallow it.

Afterwards, Jiang Mo took advantage of Liu Xi's inattention and pushed him into the water, but was killed instead, and he got wet all over himself.

"You beat me!"

Liu Xi smiled and said, "Not only does it kill you now, but it will kill you so much that you won't be able to stand up in the future!"

Jiang Mo was outraged, bared his teeth and said, "When you enter the court in the future, you must remember this."

"Remember, even a ghost will never forget."

Matthew can only be a peacemaker, persuading the two not to confront each other.

...

"Grandpa ~ Grandpa ~"

The granddaughter's call caused Matthew to slowly open his eyes, and the beams in his eyes made him stunned for a long time.

"When is it now..."

Matthew hadn't slept so deeply for a long time, and when he woke up now, he felt like he didn't know what was going on.

The granddaughter said, "It's time for lunch."

"It's been three poles in the sun for this sleep."

In another place, Jiang Pengji stayed up all night, thinking about how to take Beiyuan as soon as possible. To read books on this site, please use the latest domain name
