Chapter 44 The Cunning Squire

The cold wind passed by, and the winter wheat, still exuding green vitality, fluttered in the wind.

A small village surrounded by wooden fences, with a few smoke rising from the kitchen.

Busy farmers are collecting firewood for the winter.

Their wives, on the other hand, take care of the family in order.

All this is full of life.

However, everything was broken by the sudden arrival of the cavalry.

The carriage with the Bellucci clan emblem hanging high came slowly from the uneven country road.

More than 20 knights, riding heavily armed war horses, guarded the carriage as if they were guarding a pearl.

Monica lifted the curtain and looked at the peaceful little village outside, feeling much calmer.

"This is Moxi Village, one of the four villages under the family."

When she said this, Monica suddenly seemed to think of something.

With a naughty expression, he winked at Chen Fan.

"The hometown of your little maid is also here."

Bemiya's hometown.

This village is not small. At a glance, you can't see the end. There are about hundreds of households.

Calculated based on the fertility rate this year, it is about 500 people.

Before everyone could stop, a chubby figure appeared from not far away.

"Mosby has met your lords."

This man with a rich figure was already out of breath when he ran up to her.

But this didn't affect him at all, he knelt down in the direction of the carriage.

This set of movements is smooth and flowing.

Even Chen Fan would like to praise him.

What a flexible fat guy.

"This is the squire here and the middleman responsible for communication between the family and the farmers."

Just hearing these words made Chen Fan frown.

Isn't this a bitch of nobles?

Chen Fan has often watched TV series about bullies using their power to bully others.

I have never had a good impression of this kind of person.

In addition, this person's fat appearance would be strange if he were said to be honest.

Mosby is not only agile in movement, but also has excellent hearing.

"See Miss Monica."

"My lady, your arrival will definitely make our remote village as bright as a star."

"It's good luck for us in Moxi Village to be able to meet the young lady in person."

Gee.

Chen Fan folded his arms and couldn't help but shake his head.

No wonder this guy became a country squire.

Just this mouth can make the nobles happy.

Ah Rou stepped down from the carriage and wanted to extend her hand to support Monica as usual.

But Monica went in another direction.

But over there, there was only Chen Fan.

He looked at the lotus arms reaching towards him and the expectant expression through the gap in the curtain.

Like a true gentleman, Chen Fan extended his arm and gently helped Monica down.

"The air here has a natural atmosphere, which is much more comfortable than the castle."

Breathing in the air of nature, Monica looked enjoying herself.

Chen Fan snickered, knowing that this eldest lady clearly didn't want to be under the watchful eye of Duke Bellucci.

It’s really a rebellious period.

"Miss Monica, let's go to the humble house and drink a cup of hot tea to warm up."

"After learning of your arrival, I have asked people to light up the fireplace so that you can warm up."

"I'm going to take out last quarter's account books so that you can review them slowly in your room."

It seems to have become the norm, and Monica did not refuse the other party's kindness.

Chen Fan always felt that Monica was going out this time.

Rather than coming here to patrol the territory, it is better to say that I want to come out for some fresh air.Mosby said it was a humble house, but the small brick and stone building, which was rare in the countryside, showed exquisiteness in every aspect.

It's just winter, and the fireplace is already burning hot.

Ah Rou entered the living room first and started cleaning with ease.

Then lay a new cloth, as well as tea sets and exquisite snacks.

Before Monica entered the house, a pot of hot mountain black tea had been brewed.

The other knights consciously stayed outside.

In the name of patrol, I wandered around.

Chen Fan naturally followed Monica into the house.

"Come on, sit down."

Monica patted the empty seat next to her and naturally asked Chen Fan to sit down.

Chen Fan didn't waste any words and sat next to Monica in a swaggering manner.

He also received a cup of black tea from her hand.

"How can you……!"

Arou's eyes widened.

You know, the young lady’s tea set is always used by herself.

Not even Duke Bellucci has ever tried drinking tea from this cup.

As a result, this tea cup was given to Chen Fan for the first time.

Chen Fan had no idea that he had broken another record of the Bellucci family.

I just think this tea is okay.

"Although we are told to come twice a month for inspections, after it snows, we rarely come."

"In addition, this month we will also review the transaction status of various bills throughout the autumn."

"I may have to go back very late, which may delay the progress of your training."

Chen Fan really didn't expect that this eldest lady would care so carefully about these issues.

Although he knew that the other party was his master, he still felt warm in his heart.

What a beautiful and good girl.

I'm afraid that even if I search the whole kingdom, I won't be able to find such a good girl.

After eating a small piece of sweet honey cake, Mosby came over with a thick account book.

"Miss, please take a look."

There was a lot of dust accumulated on that account book.

Not to mention asking Monica to open it and take a look, even taking it over would be embarrassing her.

"Miss Monica, it's the same as usual. I read all the transactions to you personally."

Mosby looked caring, but there was a cunning light in his narrow eyes.

Chen Fan subconsciously felt something was wrong.

As a careful country squire, he lit the fireplace as soon as he learned that someone was coming into the family.

How could I not notice Monica's mysophobia?
Unless, this is intentional!

"Wait a moment."

"This account book is too dirty. If you open it in this room, it won't pollute the air."

"Give it to me and I'll take it out for a spin."

Chen Fan suddenly stretched out his hand, causing Mosby to freeze on the spot and subconsciously looked towards Monica.

Monica is also afraid that if the dirty account book is opened, dust will be everywhere.

"Take it out and clean it first."

Mosby's face froze, and he looked at Chen Fan who was smiling but not smiling.

"What's wrong? Why don't you give it to me?"

"Is it possible that you can't give me this account book?"

Upon hearing this, Mosby's eyes twitched a few times, smiled stiffly, and handed over the account book in his hand.

Fortunately, Chen Fan didn't seem to care about the account books at all and just walked outside.

In the open place, I shook the dust casually without even looking at it.

When he saw Chen Fan turning back, Mosby breathed a sigh of relief.

But when he wanted to get the account books back, Chen Fan didn't let go at all.

The atmosphere in the field became a little tense.
