Chapter 553: Come alive, let people keep a close eye on it
He Minhao's body stiffened and a bitter smile appeared on his face. She still came.
After sorting out his thoughts, He Minhao turned around as if nothing had happened and nodded at her calmly:
"Young Madam."
He paused and looked up. "Because things were urgent, I didn't have time to say goodbye to you in person, so I left a letter for you. Didn't you receive it?"
Lin Mo shrugged, "Maybe I just happened to be out and missed it."
She looked up and looked at He Minhao carefully, then nodded with confidence:
"Apart from being a little thinner, everything else looks fine. It seems like you've recovered overnight. You've recovered very well."
After saying that, she looked at Xu Dapeng behind her:
"Uncle Peng, give the things to Young Master He."
When Xu Dapeng handed the package to He Minhao, Lin Mo sighed:
"Your passing is a bit sudden. I thought you were so seriously ill before, and even if you recovered, you would rest for a while first.
Also, I received the news late and didn't have time to prepare anything. Here are some dry food, some steamed buns and dried meat. Young Master He, please don't be disgusted and keep them for the journey."
He Minhao held the package tightly, trying not to exert too much force, although he shook his head:
"Why would I dislike it? I also want to thank Madam Xu for arranging it.
The road back was sparsely populated, and I was in such a hurry that I forgot to prepare food, so I have to thank the young lady."
Lin Mo nodded and sighed:
“Originally, when you came, I wanted to show you around, but I didn’t expect you to be so anxious to leave.
Because of your serious illness, you were unable to leave and have been delayed until now.
Now that you have just recovered from your illness, you want to leave again.
Master He, once you leave this time, I don’t know when we’ll see each other again.”
He Minhao pursed his lips, raised his head and looked at Lin Mo, "It's all my own fault that my body is not doing well.
It would only take a month to get from here to Hexi by carriage if the speed is fast. Madam Xu, if you are willing, you are welcome to visit the He family in Hexi anytime. I will make a bed for you."
Lin Mo nodded, then looked around with a puzzled look in his eyes:
"Master He, where are your He family's servants?
Why can’t I see them anywhere?
I tell you, we are about to enter the cold winter, and bandits are starting to become rampant, so you must be careful.
Last night, traces of bandits were discovered in a valley not far from here, and more than a dozen bandits were killed.
On your way back, you must be careful and cautious, and remember not to show off your wealth."
Faced with Lin Mo's concern, He Minhao's body stiffened.
Especially when he heard that more than a dozen people had died, his face became extremely ugly.
After a while, He Minhao, who had controlled his emotions, coughed lightly and said unnaturally, "Thank you for your reminder, Madam. Don't worry, I will pay attention to my safety.
My He family's servants...they left yesterday for business and are waiting for me in Mocheng. I just need to rush over to Mocheng and meet up with them. It's not very far from here."
When saying this, He Minhao felt guilty and didn't dare to look at Lin Mo.
He was now afraid that Lin Mo would look at the carriage.
If he looked at the carriage, he would not be able to explain why Uncle He was lying unconscious in the carriage.
Seeing He Minhao sweating from nervousness, Lin Mo smiled secretly, then raised his head and nodded seriously:
“Just remember it.
I won't keep you any longer since you're in a hurry. Get on the carriage."
Seeing Lin Mo being so reasonable, He Minhao breathed a sigh of relief. He nodded at Lin Mo, then got on the carriage and prepared to drive away.
He now had only one thought in mind, to leave here quickly.
If he stayed any longer, he was afraid his lies would be exposed.
And just as he cracked the whip.
"Wait."
Lin Mo suddenly spoke again, but this frightened He Minhao so much that he panicked. He asked nervously, "Is there anything else, Madam Xu?"
Seeing how frightened he was, Lin hid his smile in his eyes:
"You've just recovered from a serious illness, how about I ask Uncle Peng to drive the carriage for you to Mocheng to meet your He family?
You're just getting well, and I'm really worried that something might happen to you on the way, driving the carriage by yourself."
He Minhao shook his head, "Don't bother, I'm fine.
As the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain falling, but after recovery, the body will also recover quickly.
Madam Xu, don't worry, I'm fine."
At this point, he paused:
"Mrs. Xu, take care of yourself too. It's snowing and the ground is slippery. Stay home and it's safe. Goodbye!"
After saying that, he whipped the carriage and drove away.
Lin Mo said nothing and watched him leave.
So was his last sentence a subtle reminder to himself?
She stood there for a long time before leading people away.
As they walked away, Xu Dapeng lowered his voice and said, "Young Madam, Jiang Wenhao has been watching us from the second floor."
"Okay, I understand." Lin Mo nodded:
"Let him see what happens. Just treat him the same as before. Don't alarm him."
While speaking, Lin Mo also looked around curiously.
Finally, we turned into the market.
All I can say is that today's market was packed with people, and every stall was crammed with people.
Seeing that it was snowing, many people came out to buy winter supplies.
Otherwise, it will be troublesome to get out when the snow gets heavier.
With so many people, it was naturally impossible for Lin Mo to squeeze in with them. After all, she had to take care of her stomach while taking care of herself.
So, she quickly backed out.
After coming out, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
There are so many people and all kinds of smells.
Lin Mo glanced back with a look of trepidation on his face. "This is just like bandits entering a village to rob things. Their characteristics are quick, accurate and ruthless."
Xu Dapeng chuckled, "That's also because you are kind, Madam.
We gave them the opportunity to work, and the wages were high, so everyone had some extra money to buy winter supplies."
Otherwise, at this time of year in previous years, people would probably be worrying about their livelihoods and trying to find ways to bring more food home.
Lin Mo shook her head, "What does this have to do with me?
They deserve it, after all, they worked hard, right? "
Lin Mo doesn't take any credit for this.
They come to work for themselves, and they pay themselves, and the money is settled, isn't it?
However, heavy snow is coming, and I'm afraid we won't be able to start work until the ice and snow melt.
They are staying at home for the winter and preparing for the New Year.
After all, there are still two months before the Chinese New Year, and the situation in Nanshao Country is not very good. I am afraid that Old Xu will not be able to make it back to celebrate the New Year with them.
Xu Dapeng did not refute.
The young lady did not like such empty words. She knew very well that these words were just nice compliments.
Once someone tempts them with money, these people will probably betray the Xu family without hesitation.
"Let's go back, it's cold!" Lin Mo looked around, shrank his neck, and prepared to go back.
And at this moment.
"Mrs. Xu."
Jiang Wenhao caught up from behind.
Lin Mo stopped and turned around with a smile on his face:
“Master Jiang, what a coincidence.
It’s so cold today, do you want to go to the greenhouse to check on the crops?
He is so hardworking and deserves the title of Grand Minister of Agriculture.
It is truly a blessing for Daye to have you, the responsible Minister of Agriculture."
Jiang Wenhao paused and coughed lightly, "Young Madam, you don't have to flatter me. You're making me uncomfortable.
I came here to say goodbye to the young lady."
Lin Mo raised an eyebrow, "Young Master He just left, and Lord Jiang is leaving too, how come they're leaving on the same day?
"Master Jiang, didn't you say you would stay here for a few years? Why are you leaving now?"
"I may not leave today." Jiang Wenhao shook his head.
"If I can finish my work today, I will leave today.
If it is not finished, it will probably be delayed until tomorrow.
I just happened to see you, Madam, so I came over to tell you in advance that when I leave, you don't have to go and say goodbye to me, and you don't have to see me off. I don't like saying goodbye!"
Lin Mo sighed, “Master Jiang is thoughtful.
To be honest, I feel a little guilty towards Lord Jiang. I have never treated Lord Jiang well since he came here.
How about I treat Master Jiang to a meal now, as a token of my gratitude to him?"
Jiang Wenhao shook his head, "Young Madam, you're too polite.
The young lady has done a great job, you don't need to take these trivial matters to heart.
But if you put it into practice, you don’t need to.
I still have to hurry up and teach Li Dongyang some things, so I'm afraid I don't have time."
Jiang Wenhao declined politely and gave a reason that Lin Mo could not refuse.
Lin Mo looked regretful.
"There's always a chance to eat. Lord Jiang did the right thing. It's important to deal with things."
"That's right." Jiang Wenhao nodded.
"Originally, I planned to wait until the potato harvest before leaving, but something happened at home and I had to rush back."
Jiang Wenhao looked regretful and said, "If Madam Xu has the opportunity to return to Beijing in the future, I will definitely treat her to a good banquet to thank her for taking care of me during this period."
Lin Mo shook his head, "You're welcome.
Back to Beijing?
We’re afraid we’ll never have the chance to return to the capital in this lifetime.”
After saying this, she sighed.
Jiang Wenhao shuddered and shook his head:
"No one can predict the affairs of life. Who knows? Maybe next year the emperor will grant amnesty and summon you back to the capital."
"Then I'll lend you my good wishes." Lin Mo smiled.
hehe!
The emperor is far away and the sky is high. It’s so comfortable here, who would want to go back to the capital?
Jiang Wenhao nodded, said a few other words to Lin Mo, and left.
Lin Mo stood there watching Jiang Wenhao leave, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
I'm afraid Jiang Wenhao will take action in the next two days.
Lin Mo looked at Xu Dapeng who was standing beside him, "Uncle Peng, someone's calling, have someone keep a close eye on us."
Xu Dapeng nodded.
He looked at Jiang Wenhao's back as he walked further and further away with sinister eyes, and his mouth cracked, revealing his white teeth.
He has good teeth!
