Because of Yan Xiaoyue's violent reaction to traditional Chinese medicine, Mu Zigui was extremely nervous about her condition, and confined her to the room, staying for more than half a month, but fortunately, she was able to sneak into the space every night to make Xiaoyue feel that life was not so difficult.

When Yan Xiaoyue was in good health, she took Jin Hui, Jin Qiao, and Zhaocai to drive the carriage to the farm. According to the information given by the Yamen, the farm is in the northwest suburbs of the imperial city, and it is about 20 kilometers away from the west city gate, and the carriage can arrive in less than an hour. Chenshi set off, because the road conditions are not familiar with the time of the hour, the farm is very recognizable, the dilapidated door plate on the word "hidden village" is half hung at the door, Zhuangzi is surrounded by earthen walls, push open the door, it is barren inside, the withered yellow weeds are half a leg high, although it is the end of September, but Yan Xiaoyue is still a little worried about whether there will be something in the grass, to say what animal she is most afraid of? Molluscans like snakes are definitely at the top of the list.

Called Zhaocai, "Zhaocai, do you have a fire fold on you?" ”

"Miss Hui, the small one has a belt."

Yan Xiaoyue waved her hand, "Okay, you go in and burn all the grass in the Zhuangzi." ”

Zhaocai was startled, and he hadn't seen such a domineering side of Miss before, so he hurriedly said: "Ah, Miss, no, this Zhuangzi who burned people is a crime and will be arrested." ”

Yan Xiaoyue said proudly: "If you are told to go, what so much nonsense, Miss, who would dare to say anything if I burned my own Zhuangzi?" ”

Zhaocai is also a guy who is used to talking, and when he heard this, he immediately said, "Your own? Alas, all right, I'll go. You go back to the carriage and wait. ”

Waiting for Zhaocai to go in and light the fire, Satsuki went back to the carriage and waited, and after a while, he saw the smoke billowing into the sky, and Zhaocai drove the carriage away when he came out. It didn't take long to hear the commotion outside, and Yan Xiaoyue asked Jin Hui to go down and take a look.

Jin Hui came back and said that someone from Zhangjiabao next to him had come, thinking that there was a fire here, so he brought his belongings to put out the fire. At this time, a slightly restrained voice sounded outside the curtain, "May I ask if this young lady is the new owner of the hidden village?" ”

Xiao Yue lifted the curtain, got out of the carriage with Jin Hui's support, and saw a group of crop men with wooden barrels and brooms standing next to Zhuangzi, and an old man with gray hair standing in front of him, with the wooden barrel on his legs, bowing slightly, and his head hanging low to Xiao Yue.

Yan Xiaoyue hurriedly staggered her body, "Old man, you're welcome, I'm the new owner of this Zhuangzi, I don't know what the old man is asking about?" ”

The old man raised his eyes and looked at Xiaoyue, and immediately lowered his head, "It's not a secret, we are from Zhangjiabao next to us, the old farmer is the chief of the village, our village has many mountains, and there is very little fertile land. Now when I see you, I take the liberty to come and ask if your land can continue to be rented to us. ”

Yan Xiaoyue was slightly stunned when she heard this, and said apologetically: "Uncle, I have other uses for the land here, I'm afraid I can't rent it to you anymore." ”

The lieutenant said "oh" in disappointment.

Xiao Yue added another sentence, which made the chief overjoyed, "However, my Zhuangzi needs Changgong to help with things in the future, do you think anyone in your Zhuangzi is willing to come?" ”

"Ah, yes, yes, of course! Thank you, Miss! The lieutenant bowed directly to Satsuki.

Xiao Yue hurriedly got out of the way, "It's nothing, anyway, I also want to invite someone, but, uncle, we can say in advance, give me work, things must be done according to what I say, if there are people in your village who are cheating and cheating, I won't use any of them, everyone who does work for me has a salary to get, the same price as in the imperial city, but at the beginning, food and accommodation are not included." You go back and discuss with everyone, and tomorrow I will call Zhaocai to find you." "Xiao Yue doesn't know the value of wages in the imperial city now, so she has to be vague, introduce Zhaocai and let the chief take people back.

There were no trees or houses in the Zhuangzi, and the fire burned for an hour and then went out, and when it was noon to eat some dry food to fill his stomach, Xiaoyue called Zhaocai to unload the carriage, and rode into the Zhuangzi. It was mainly fertile land that was burned, and it became a breeding ground for weeds after a year of abandonment.

The ground should have been planned before, with ditches crisscrossing it. Passing through the fertile field is five pools of different sizes, in the middle of the fertile field and the pool, there is a small hot spring, it should be one of the two hot springs in this Zhuangzi, in such a place, if it is not for Yan Xiaoyue to Zhuangzi has arranged, this hot spring is really a waste.

Beyond the pool is an open sandy area, dominated by stones and sand, with a small hill with low bushes growing on the northernmost side, and a hot spring at the foot of the hill, which is larger than the one on the edge of the ground.

After walking around slowly, it was already the end of Shen Shi when he returned to Mu Zhai, and he told Zhaocai to come back tomorrow and went directly into the study, and stayed until the third watch before he was destroyed by the golden embroidery to rest. When she was woken up by Jin Hui in the morning, Xiao Yue only felt that her head was still groggy and heavy, if it wasn't for Jin Hui saying that Zhao Cai was coming, she was afraid that she would have to sleep again. It's been a long time since I've stayed up all night, and it's not used to sleeping late once in a while, and when I wake up, I suddenly remember, why didn't I go to the space to write it last night? It's stupid.

I had breakfast after a simple freshen-up, and I took the fruits of last night's hard work to see Zhaocai in the hall. When I visited Zhuangzi yesterday, I was also very serious about recruiting money, so Xiaoyue didn't have much trouble introducing it, but it was a little difficult to explain the greenhouse to him. simply asked Jin Hui to bring the four treasures of the study room and painted them on the spot. Although the painting work is really flattering, Yan Xiaoyue is not in shape, and what she paints while talking is energetic, but in the end, she is hit by Zhaocai's words, "What Miss is talking about is to build some low houses with adobe bricks, wrap the roof in thick oilcloth, and include the hot springs in it, so that the house is warmer, right?" ”

Xiao Yue glanced at Zhaocai in a daze, and slowly destroyed the drawing of the corpse, she knew it earlier, she said that it would be good to build a greenhouse, it was really a loss of face, and said that she had been acting for a long time, "Since you know, then I won't say more, you go to Zhangjiabao to hire some people to do things as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, miss, I'll arrange it, don't worry, I'll get it done for you." After saying that, Zhao Cai bowed down and went out.

Yan Xiaoyue looked at the back of Zhaocai, a very good young man, diligent with hands and feet, smart mind, especially with active thinking, he can draw inferences from one point at a time, he is really a good talent, let him take care of the affairs in Zhuangzi in the future, I just don't know if Zigui's brother is reluctant to give in, speaking of Zigui, it seems that he has rarely been seen these days, is it very busy in the shop?

Speaking of shops, Xiao Yue remembered that she had been ill since she arrived in the imperial city, and she didn't know which way the door of the shop opened? When the store was opened some time ago, it was Jin Ling and they went to help, and I don't know how the store is now, as soon as I think of this, Xiaoyue can't sit still, anyway, there is nothing to do today, so I took Jin Qiao out of the house.
