Chang'an is good

But that person didn't hide very well, it was more like waiting here deliberately, hesitating whether to come out or not.

Seeing Chang Suining stop, Ah Zhi, who can be called keen in perception, glanced over: "Who is hiding there?"

After the questioning, a figure hurriedly came out from behind the bushes, with a smile on his face, he bowed his waist and bowed to Chang Sui Ning repeatedly.

Chang Suining reacted for a while before he recognized the other party: "It's you."

In two months, the other party has changed from a swindler who can pretend to be an egg seller to a dark-skinned farm servant. At first glance, he seems a bit down-to-earth and simple.

With just one mouthful, the simplicity disappeared: "Oh, the girl still remembers the villain!"

"I told you to stay in the Zhuangzi and do a month's work to cover the debt, but in the blink of an eye, two months have passed." Chang Suining said, "I was negligent."

The man was surprised, and seemed to be thinking: "It's been two months? Can't it..."

Immediately he smiled shyly: "The villain still feels that he has not been here for a few days! This is why the villain is so happy to linger!"

Ah Zhi: "..." He'd better tell the truth.

Chang Suining felt that there should be some truth in what the other party said.

This person's complexion was as dark as charcoal, so it can be seen that she has never been lazy - she also asked the manager of Zhuangzi about this point, and the manager only said that this person is too busy, one thought every day, and there is no time for leisure And don't see others idle.

Although his complexion is dark, his mental outlook is more plump, and his eyes are not honest, but their inner expressions are indeed positive.

It's just that it's not sure whether the other party is motivated by the desire to survive, or has other thoughts.

Out of confirmation, Chang Suining asked casually: "After staying here for two months, what do you think of this farm, is it a good place?"

The man followed her forward, and said, "It's not only a good place... It's near the mountains and near the water, it's a treasure of geomantic omen!"

As he spoke, there was a sudden pause, probably because he thought of the style of killing and burying the girl beside him, and was afraid that this treasured place of geomantic omen would become his burial ground——

After managing his expression for a while, he said again: "It's just...there is one thing the villain has to say."

Chang Suining sounds pleasing to the ear, she likes to hear what people have to say, rather than not knowing whether to say it or not——

"tell me the story."

"The place is a good place, but this village, this back mountain and those fields...although they haven't been completely abandoned, they are really wasteful." The man's tone was quite painful: "If someone can take good care of it, it is said that This harvest can at least quadruple!"

While speaking, he quietly paid attention to the girl's expression.

The girl nodded: "That's true, such a farm, there are many other places in my house, due to the lack of people who are good at taking care of them, they are all half abandoned."

Rao was mentally prepared, but the man's heart still trembled when he heard it—how much money must be in abundance, so that he can leave such gold and silver mountains alone!
If you don't know how to take care of it, you can give it to those who need it!
He seemed to have swallowed a whole basket of Li Mengzi in his heart, but he could only say with a smile on his face: "My father was born as a military general, and he is kind-hearted. He only used these Zhuangzi to support the old department. It is not easy to take care of these farms. It's an easy task, but it's not bad to be able to maintain the current situation all these years..."

Chang Suining: "You have a very clear understanding of my family's affairs."

Those who can bluff on the street, their ears, eyes and mind are indeed more sensitive than ordinary people.

The man didn't deny anything, just smiled and said: "General Chang's reputation is far and wide, and the villain has also admired him for a long time!"

"My father is well-known, but as you said, he lacks the mind to take care of the farm." Chang Suining's tone was casual, as if chatting: "But recently, the steward and I have been looking for him from various places. There are a lot of people who are good at tending the fields—”

The man nodded and said: "I've seen those villains too. They are all good at farm work, but most of them only know how to do things according to the arrangement. Of course it's okay to work under the hands of others..."

Chang Suining took his words naturally: "It is true that there is still a lack of a good manager who can lead them to do things, and now I am also looking for it, but this manager not only needs to be equally good at farming, but also needs some knowledge and brains. Loyalty is needed, so it is not so easy to find for a while."

The man rolled his eyes, and when he was about to speak, he heard a questioning sound——

"Shen Sanmao, I said what are you doing to my girl!"

The one who came quickly was the steward of the farm, he was Chang Kuo's former department, although he was old and his left hand was disabled early, his voice was loud and powerful, which made the man shrink his neck.

"Your name is Shen Sanmao?" Chang Suining looked at the man: "Is that your real name?"

The man smiled and nodded: "Yes...it's easy to support."

Chang Suining nodded: "Well, after all, it's 27 lives."

Accidentally lost one and there are 26 more.

The steward reminded: "Girl, don't listen to his nonsense, this man has a lively mind and a smooth tongue..."

That mouth can fool a live duck into the oven and roast itself for him to eat!

"Then has he ever been lazy in Zhuangzi these days?" Chang Suining asked.

"Doing work...you are diligent." What did the steward say—it was too much thinking!
"It's not necessarily a bad thing to be lazy in doing things, and to work hard." Chang Suining looked at the man - she picked him up in a sack, didn't she just fancy the man's thoughts enough.

Hearing this affirmation, the man was stunned for a moment, met the girl's eyes, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly knelt down towards Chang Suining.

"If the girl can let go of the past, the villain is willing to stay and take care of this farm for the girl!"

He was concise and to the point, no longer flattery in his words, Chang Sui Ning slightly raised his eyebrows: "But apart from this mouth, what else is so special about you, is it worth me not to worry about it?"

Hearing this, the man immediately took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his pocket: "This is what the villain has learned and thought recently, please take a look at it."

Chang Suining nodded, Ah Zhi stepped forward to take it.

Chang Suining unfolded it and saw that it was a blueprint, which showed the distribution of houses, farmland, mountains and forests in the farm - this needs to be measured step by step.

And this is not just a blueprint, but also marked with proposals that can be modified.

Chang Suining took a cursory look at it, then handed the blueprint back to Ah Zhi.

Seeing that she didn't look closely, and seemed not interested, the man's heart was empty, and when he was feeling anxious, he only heard the girl say: "There are limited markings on the drawing, and I don't understand it very well. Let's talk while walking."

The man's face was happy when he heard the words, and he got up again and again: "Girl, please come with the villain!"

He led the way all the way, obviously he could feel the inside and outside of the farm couldn't be more clear.

"Since you are so familiar with this place, why don't you run away?" Chang Suining walked with his hands behind his back, with a hint of curiosity in his tone.

The man was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "To be honest with the girl, after getting acquainted with the dogs on the Zhuangzi, the villain escaped twice at night."

The steward's eyelids twitched - he knew it!When this guy escaped, didn't he take the dog along the way!

There was no surprise on Chang Suining's face: "Then why did you come back?"

She left people here to test whether they are available, but such things are also about fate, if such a person wants to escape, she will not force her to stay, it would be a disaster to stay.

"Where can I escape, there is no one in the villain's house anymore." The man sighed, or when he realized that this was not the time to play tricks, he spoke frankly and talked about his past.

When he was young, his family was in business, but before it was his turn to take over, his unsatisfactory father failed the business, the shop was gone, and he owed a lot of debt.

Not long after, his father passed away due to illness. He had just left the filial piety for two days, and one day he went home. The widow is his aunt.

Hey, it's such a big deal for A Niang to get married, and she didn't say hello to him in advance!
So he watched the sedan chair carry his mother away.

Afterwards, in order to make a living, he tried to do all kinds of work, learned and studied everything, but there were a bunch of debt collectors behind him, not to mention the cost of turning over, he would have to eat a white flour steamed bun one day and be seen by the creditors. After chasing him and scolding him for two streets, it is natural that nothing will go well.

Those who come and go again and again have embarked on the path of deception.

"...Your aunt's marriage is unreasonable!" The steward listened with gusto, and there was some sympathy in his eyes: "I'm married, why don't I take you along?"

The man shook his head: "I don't blame her either, my own father left a lot of debts, and I would remarry if I were."

"..." The steward said to Chang Suining: "Girl, it's no wonder he doesn't want to leave, it's convenient for us to avoid debts together!"

"It's only natural to pay off debts." Chang Suining said, "If you work hard, you won't be treated badly. If the farm's harvest can be quadrupled, you will be debt-free in the coming year at the latest. "

Shen Sanmao was taken aback.

He had originally thought about climbing up the big tree of General Chang's Mansion, so he wouldn't have to pay back the debt...

Didn't expect that the little girl who knocked him unconscious and brought him here is quite polite?
He was thinking about the temperament and style of this girl in his heart, and he smiled on his face.

The steward was still worried, and persuaded Chang Suining: "Girl, this person is really..."

Shen Sanmao interrupted the steward, and pointed to the pond in front of him: "Girl, I said that some fish that can be eaten and sold should be raised in this pond. I have a way to make the fish grow quickly - but the steward insists on raising these, I just know Goldfish that eat manure to enjoy the scenery, but girls rarely come here, whoever rewards this scenery, will it not be in vain?"

"This chicken shed is actually even more empty than my purse. How do you manage to sleep on weekdays!"

"Hey, girl, look, how come there are a few vegetables growing in the grass garden in front?"

"..."

This non-stop offensive caused the old steward to retreat steadily, and he almost fell on his back in anger, and his eyes gradually turned black, and he felt as if his life was not long——

"It's getting dark, let's go back first." Chang Suining said, "I'm going to stay in Zhuangzi for a few days, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."

The old steward came back to his senses, oh, it turned out that the innocence was dark, so it's all right.

As the group walked back, Chang Suining felt more and more cheap when he heard Shen Sanmao talking about his weird secret skills and ideas.

After bathing in the evening, Xi'er couldn't help asking: "Girl, although Shen Sanmao has some abilities, but most of them are just clever, how can she deserve such special treatment from the girl?"

Chang Suining nodded: "It's true that you are clever, but there is a saying in the Art of War that those who are good at making surprises are as infinite as heaven and earth, and as endless as rivers and seas."

Xi'er let out an "ah", but didn't quite understand.

Chang Suining: "To put it bluntly, there is no need to be too normal in doing things and being a person, so that it is easier to win by surprise."

For example, the methods of making duck eggs more square and making fish grow faster do not sound very useful, but it is enough to show that this person is good at making strange moves.

Those who are good at making strange moves are clever in a small world, but if they have a big world, they might be of great help.

Xi'er understood now, nodded and said: "Since the girl said so, then this sack of money is well spent."

……

"Has anyone been found yet?"

In the Ganlu Hall, Emperor Shengji asked about the disappearance of the jade chips after correcting the memorial.

"Going back to Your Majesty, I haven't found it yet." Ming Luo said: "But I searched along the river and found an embroidered shoe, which belonged to Aunt Yuxie. Judging from many traces, it did fall into the water after leaving the mansion through the back door. .”

"Did she accidentally fall into the water, or was there another reason..." Emperor Shengji frowned slightly: "She has never dared to leave the eldest princess's mansion for half a step. This time she is uncharacteristically, and I am afraid there is something strange about it."

As he said that, he looked at Ming Luo: "The envoy Si Gongtai carefully examines the female envoys in the Chief Princess's mansion, and don't let go of any suspicious things."

"People should continue to look for them." The Emperor of the Holy Book said firmly: "She is unconscious. If she talks nonsense outside, it may damage Ah Shang's reputation. Whether she is dead or alive must be found out as soon as possible."

Ming Luo responded with a straight face, and retreated slowly.

The emperor's eyes continued to think.

There is never a moment of peace in this capital, and she has no way to regard any small incident as a coincidence.

Although Yuxie is the insider of the old incident, but not the only insider, if someone really knew about the old incident and wanted to use it to make a fuss, why did he choose a woman who was delirious and whose words were not convincing? make?

This is somewhat unreasonable...

But if it wasn't for that old incident, what would it be for?
Is there any other value in Yuzhu?
The Holy Book Emperor's gaze fell on a candlestick, and his eyes flickered on and off.

It didn't know when it started to rain outside the palace, Ming Luo walked out of the palace holding an umbrella.

The rain continued for days.

Yuzhu couldn't tell how long she hadn't eaten, and she gradually lost the strength to shout by relying on clearing her stomach.

When she was in a daze, when she moved her body, she found that the rope in her hand seemed to be loose. She tried to move, but she broke free.

This discovery made her sit up subconsciously, and hurried to untie the rope on her ankle.

It took some effort this time, but fortunately, it was untied smoothly.

She immediately dragged her weak body forward, pushed open the cellar door with her survival instinct, and crawled out.

It was night outside and it was still raining.

She was at a loss for a moment, but she didn't dare to stay. She didn't dare to walk along the straight corridor, so she ran towards a small path.

She walked into a bamboo forest along the path, and besides the sound of wind and rain and bamboo leaves, suddenly there was another quiet sound resounding all around.

That is the sound of the piano.

As the familiar sound of the piano penetrated into her ears, Yuzhuan's feet stopped suddenly, her expression trembled, and she looked around.

That's... His Highness's piano sound!

Thank you for your rewards, monthly tickets and every message ~ good night!
