Chen Huaijin listened quietly without interrupting or urging.

Until the "clucking" sound of pheasants was heard in the distance.

Xiao Luoyi kept talking: "Pheasant!"

Chen Huaijin: "I'll call you. Roast chicken?"

"it is good!"

Chen Huaijin didn't spend much effort and soon came back carrying a pheasant.

Peel the skin, open the cavity, add seasonings to the space, put on the stick, and start roasting.

When they returned to Zhuangzi satisfied, the king was already sitting in the warm pavilion waiting, with a table of breakfast in front of him.

Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin looked at each other and shrank their necks guiltily.

King of the country: "I heard that you went out into the mountains early in the morning?"

Xiao Luoyi grinned: "Just to see the place where pheasants, sweet potatoes and chestnuts were roasted when I was a kid."

"Then are you full?" The king's voice was leisurely, and Xiao Luoyi seemed to hear a trace of... resentment? !

"No, no!" Xiao Luoyi shook his hands and hurriedly denied, then touched his stomach exaggeratedly, "I'm already hungry, shall we eat now?"

After the meal, Chen Huaijin prepared his bow, arrows, daggers, and hatchets, took some dry food, and followed the king into the mountains.

When the man entered the mountain, Xiao Luoyi called Luo Shiniang: "After breakfast, let's have a day off today and prepare to go home tomorrow."

Return to Yongzhou Prefecture.

"Yes." Luo Shiniang looked at Xiao Luoyi with eyes filled with awe.

Lord of the country!

A person who had never dared to think about it before, actually came to Zhuangzi and had dinner with Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin!

Moreover, the king of the country didn't have any airs in front of them. He and Chen Huaijin went hunting in the mountains just now...

They haven't had this kind of luck in many years, and this time, in just a few days, they met many big names they had never seen in their lives!

You can make a lot of money by following them!

Chang Yong and the ten-man team have discussed it. Everyone thinks that Chen Huaijin and his wife are not just animals in the pool. Since they are just licking blood with the tip of a knife, it will always be better to follow people who have the ability and luck, right?

What's more, Chang Yong said that Mr. Chen and the second lady of the Xiao family are both generous and will not treat him badly.

It can be seen in these days of getting along, and it is indeed the case.

This young couple with amazing looks and amazing abilities never criticized them harshly or restricted them, allowing them to do whatever they wanted to do.

Luo Shiniang and others agreed and went to perform their duties.

Xiao Luoyi was lazy and followed the path in his memory, walking around casually in the fields and in the village.

Here, she once caught a loach.

Here, she once played with pebbles.

Here, she once lay on Uncle Chai's shoulders and let him fly high...

Uncle Chai was sent to Zhuangzi to be raised in his early years because he was injured while protecting the head of the family. Although he did not dare to openly tell Xiao Jinghai that he had a daughter here, Uncle Chai tried his best to protect himself...

Xiao Luoyi squatted in the corner of the desolate backyard, thinking of the man who carried him on his back at the critical moment.

"Second Miss? Why are you here?" A man's voice sounded.

Xiao Luoyi turned his head and saw a familiar and young face, and suddenly felt in a trance.

This is a man in his twenties, short and lean, with familiar facial features.

"Chai Gengzhong?"

"It's a villain." Chai Gengzhong grinned and saluted.

Xiao Luoyi stood up and looked at the honest-smiling man in front of him, feeling guilty: "I'm sorry, your father..."

"Second Miss, what are you talking about? My father did it voluntarily, in order to repay the kindness of the master, and it has nothing to do with Second Miss." Chai Gengzhong actually knew everything, and he spoke frankly and clearly.

Xiao Luoyi felt sad: "But your father did it for me..."

Chai Gengzhong's smile faded slightly. After looking around, he lowered his voice and said: "Second Miss, my father has secretly told us before that you are the master's flesh and blood, and he will definitely protect your life with all his life, so he It’s for the master, not for the second young lady.”

"My father also said that if something happens to him one day, we must not blame the second lady..."

Chai Gengzhong said a lot of things, and Xiao Luoyi looked at him steadily.

Xiao Luoyi knew that Uncle Chai had lived in this village for more than 20 years and was the person who cared about him the most, but he didn't expect that he had planned everything in private.

"Then what are you going to do next? Do you have any ideas?"

Xiao Luoyi wanted to repay the favor.

Chai Gengzhong scratched his head: "I don't have any ideas. Our family only knows how to farm and take care of the crops..."

Xiao Luoyi thought for a moment and pointed at Zhuangzi: "The former Zhuangtou just happened to be sent back to Dali City. From now on, this Zhuangzi belongs to me, and I don't have time to take care of it. From now on, you will be in charge. Can you do that?"

"Am I in charge?" Chai Gengzhong was shocked. He looked around at a loss and found that there was no one else around, so he had to turn back to face Xiao Luoyi's shining eyes.

Xiao Luoyi nodded affirmatively: "No, you can learn it, but there is no way to learn loyalty. I believe in Uncle Chai and I believe in you. I can't trust anyone else."

"Are you willing to help me take care of this Zhuangzi?"

Chai Gengzhong's breathing became rapid: he wanted to answer.

This is an opportunity.

But he also knew that he couldn't read, didn't know how to count, and he had never managed people. He didn't understand these things.

But the second lady said, you can learn all of these!

"I would like to, but I don't know anything..."

"I'll find someone to teach you!" Xiao Luoyi interrupted Chai Gengzhong without saying anything, "Do you have any questions?"

After Chai Gengzhong took a few quick breaths, he stamped his feet: "No more! I am willing to listen to the second lady! Whatever the second lady tells me, I will do it!"

Xiao Luoyi smiled.

She has never been afraid of ambitions among her own people. What she fears most is cowards who "want something but don't have the ability to want it. They just want power and don't want to take responsibility."

Opportunities are only given to those who dare to reach out and catch them at the critical moment.

Now that the words were settled, Xiao Luoyi began to make arrangements: "Now find someone to move Zhuangzi's account books and other things to my yard for me. I will sort through them and hand them over to you."

"Yes." Chai Geng Zhongfeng ran away as well.

Xiao Luoyi stood up, patted the snow flakes on his body, turned around and went back to the house. He saw Luo Shiniang on the way and called out: "Shi Niang, ask the person in charge to come to my place."

The steward sent by Xiao Jinghai quickly entered Xiao Luoyi's yard. When he heard that Xiao Luoyi was going to entrust the management of the village to Chai Gengzhong, he was stunned for a moment.

"He... doesn't seem to know how to count." The steward reminded blankly.

"Find someone to teach him literacy and arithmetic." After Xiao Luoyi gave the order, seeing that the person in charge didn't respond immediately, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you having any difficulties?"

The manager came to his senses and shook his head: "No! This village belongs to the second lady. Whoever the second lady says to take care of it will be in charge."

This is what the master warned before going out.

"That's good. I thought I couldn't be the master of this village. If that's the case, why don't you take the land deed back and return it to the owner."

The steward was so frightened that his back was wet: If this is really the case, I'm afraid he will be punished even when he returns home!

Others didn't know how much attention was paid to the second young lady who fell from the sky. As the steward who followed the head of the house, he knew all about it.

He has never seen the enthusiasm of the family head and the old lady for a junior that is almost flattering!
