Returning to his room from Udil's study, Chen Xiansong opened the book and read a few pages, which he thought was quite interesting. It describes some of the people and things that Udil encountered when he was young, as well as his own troubles and self-reflection.

The more he looked, the more fascinated he became, and before he knew it, it was already noon. Ruth made lunch, and Bai Min forcibly snatched the book from Chen Xiansong's hand, and then brought him to the dinner table.

Catherine and Frances came out of the room, and the little guy was still the same eccentric appearance, chatting with Chen Xiansong while eating, and asking some strange questions, such as: Teacher, do you think your mother's waist is thin, or mine...... Do you think mom is pretty, or am I sexy...... Etcetera.

Later, she asked, "Teacher, I'm going to live in your house in the future, is there anyone else in the family?" ”

Chen Xiansong put down his chopsticks: "There are still two sisters at home, Sister Qianxin and Alice." ”

In Greystone Village, Chen Xiansong has been away from his territory for a while, but it is still calm here. The villagers did not have the appearance of a temporary departure of the lord and the mood of the people was fluctuating, and the mercenaries also trained every day according to the previous regulations. Now Greystone Village is recognized as the richest village in the neighborhood...... Everyone has a house to live in, clothes to wear, and meat foam to eat every two or three days. The girls in the village outside want to marry in, and more people want to come in and settle down...... However, this can only be built on the land with the consent of the lord, otherwise it is a private occupation of the lord's land. If the person who built the house privately has the status of a nobleman, it is good to say that at most, it is a forced demolition and monetary compensation, and if it is a commoner, most of them do not need to be tried, and they will be beheaded or hanged in public.

Alice picks up some vegetables from the ground...... Now she only needs to cook for two. own and Sister Qianxin's. This made her job a lot easier, but she felt a little lonely when she had nothing to do. In the past, although there were many things, I had to serve that guy all day long, dressing and washing...... I also have to help him make the bed quilt and clean it, and that guy was born with ADHD and likes to put things around, so he has just sorted out his book, and he will definitely be messed around with in less than half an hour; Sometimes I like to run all over the mountains, and my clothes will be dusty all of a sudden. I had to help him wash it again, in short, when that guy was at home, Alice always felt that there were endless things to do, endless quarrels...... But happy.

Now work easy. No one quarreled with her, but she felt lonely.

She put the vegetables into the straw basket she held in her right hand. Look up. The edge of the village is full of freshly planted, blue-yellow rice seedlings.

On a normal basis, the villagers are carrying buckets of water for their paddy fields, and it takes days to fill the entire paddy field...... However, now there are two water trucks that fill the water non-stop, and it only takes half a day. You can irrigate all the fields in Greystone Village.

And in the future, it also saves the villagers the hard work of carrying water...... They just have to take the time to drive away the birds and insects.

As for fertilizer, the villagers were now able to pull out excellent manure from the large pits that the lord had ordered to dig before...... Not only is the fertility sufficient, but it does not hurt the seedlings, which is many times better than the traditional fertilizer such as plant ash.

Well-fed and warmly clothed little ones. They became very energetic, waving wooden sticks at each other, playing the game of righteous mercenaries and evil bandits, from the head of the village to the end of the village, the young people went up the mountain to hunt together, the women sat together to sew clothes, and the old people gathered in front of their rice fields, looking at the small rice seedlings, and smiling.

Such a village is the place to live. Alice remembered her own serf, always with a look of numbness and fear, where was there such vigor and happiness here.

When will that guy come back...... Alice picks the vegetables she needs for the day and is about to go back, when she finds a group of people at the end of the road...... More than two dozen guards surrounded by two luxurious carriages and were slowly walking towards Graystone Village.

Come here at this time, who is it? Alice was a little puzzled, according to the habits of the Kate Kingdom, if the lord goes out, other nobles have nothing important to do, and they can't visit the territory of the outsider, even if there is an urgent visit, they can't lead more than ten guards, because this will make people subconsciously think of some bad things, such as occupation, seizure of power, and the like.

The convoy was getting closer and closer, and Alice could already see the faces of the guards, who were black-haired and black-eyed Aurora nationals, and all of them looked solemn, obviously elite guards. Alice is also a person from a noble background, she is not bad, and now Chen Xiansong has almost taken away the main combat power of the village, such a group of people can rush back one of the Gray Stone Village, at most one or two.

She remembered Chen Xiansong's explanation before leaving, if there was anything that was not resolved, she would go to Sister Qianxin to solve it.

Thinking of Sister Qianxin, she was a little speechless, Alice had never seen a woman who could sleep so well, sleeping from morning to night, eating casually, and sleeping until the next morning...... But no matter how she sleeps, she won't get fat, and she still has an enviable figure, which Alice thinks is very unreasonable.

She hurried back to the castle and went up to the third floor to wake Bai Qianxin.

Rubbing her eyes, Bai Qianxin yawned, and the spring light loomed under her pajamas: "Little Alice, why did you wake me up so early?" Could it be that they are back? ”

"How can it be so fast, it will take at least more than a month to come back, let alone the time of the stay." After Alice finished speaking, she also seemed to feel that this time seemed to be very long, she was silent for a while, and continued: "There is a team of people outside, it is the guard of the Aurora Kingdom, I am afraid that something will happen, so I will wake you up first." ”

Bai Qianxin casually put on a coat, went out to the balcony to look at it for a while, and said with a smile: "It doesn't seem to be with malicious intentions, but the heart of defense is indispensable, you go and tell Fina, let her organize the guards, we are ready to welcome uninvited, but there seems to be no malicious intent." ”

When Fina organized the mercenaries, the convoy arrived in front of the castle.

The crowd of onlookers stood on both sides of the road, children snorting and staring at curious eyes, and adults, pointing at the convoy, for these peasants who might never go out of the confines of Black Rock for the rest of their lives, the black-eyed Aurora people were a rare thing to see, although they had seen them once not long ago, but they still maintained enough curiosity.

Chen Zeyi got off the carriage and frowned as soon as he looked at the crowd around him. The mutual visits between the nobles and being watched by others always made him feel like he was being surrounded by monkey shows.

Alice had already changed into the blue aristocratic dress at this time, although she was Chen Xiansong's maid, but in front of outsiders, she was still the daughter of a great aristocratic family. She was quite proficient in the etiquette of the nobles, and seeing Chen Yize's expression, she whispered a few words to Fina, who began to order the mercenaries to disperse the crowd.

Chen Zeyi's expression changed at this time, he observed with interest the team of mercenaries who were responsible for dispersing the crowd, compared it with his own men, and then the two sides were half a pound and eight taels.

Alice walked up to Chen Zeyi, pulled the corner of her skirt, bent down and bowed gently, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, welcome to Gray Stone Village, due to the rush of time, we didn't make any preparations, only some simple fruit wine and pastries are prepared in the room, please come in." ”

Chen Zeyi had seen Alice before, he had always thought that the other party was just an ordinary maid, but now seeing her dressed in aristocratic clothes, it was a little strange, could it be that this maid had successfully 'ascended'? It's unlikely, with a beautiful and capable woman as Bai Min by his side, he believes that Chen Xiansong will not be so stupid and marry a maid as his wife.

And after Alice put on the aristocratic clothes, her own temperament was revealed, and Chen Zeyi didn't dare to treat her as an ordinary maid. Besides, as a person who has seen the world, Chen Zeyi knows very well that there are some things that do not need to be too clear.

"Please wait a minute." Chen Zeyi smiled apologetically, and then said to a carriage behind him, "Thirteen, come down." ”

"Yes. The crisp and lovely voice of the Sixth Uncle came from the back carriage, and then the curtain was opened, and a young girl dressed in an Aurora lady's dress slowly stepped out of the carriage, her hair black and bright, her body delicate but with a pitiful beauty.

If Alice is the breeze of summer, then this girl is the warm spring of spring.

"This is my niece, Thirteen, whose name is Huilian." Chen Zeyi chuckled.

In the Kingdom of Aurora, women cannot have a proper name, and after they marry out, they can only be given the surname of their husband, such as Chen Di, and the nickname will accompany them for the rest of their lives...... But in death, their nicknames cannot be written into the genealogy.

The black-haired girl folded her hands on her right waist, bent her knees slightly, and said in a pure Sun God servant language: "Little girl Huilian, I have seen this sister. ”

"Hello." Alice also returned the salute, and then said to Chen Zeyi: "Your Excellency, please come with me, the acting lord is already waiting for your Excellency in the castle." ”

"Acting Lord?" Chen Zeseng was a little strange: "Could it be that His Excellency Chen Xiansong is not here?" ”

"Master, he was ordered to go to the royal city not long ago to receive the reward." Alice smiled, "So now Greystone Village is temporarily replaced by Lady Bai Qianxin. Your Excellency must have something important to talk to our master this time, don't worry. Ms. Bai Qianxin is the master's sister, and she can make decisions for the master in any matter in the territory. ”

Ms. Bai Qianxin? Chen Zeyi was a little strange, according to his intelligence, the woman beside Chen Xiansong who was so beautiful that she should be called Bai Mincai...... Could it be that another woman comparable to Bai Min has appeared?

"Hehe, then I really didn't come at the right time. But I do have something very important to do this time, and since the acting lord has full power, then I do want to talk to her. Chen Zeyi looked around the surroundings without a trace, not knowing what Lu Dao was planning.

The girl named Huilian, although she had not spoken, had been looking at the situation in Greystone Village, and when she saw the two waterwheels by the river, there was obviously more surprise in her eyes. (To be continued......)
