Fang Xu's words rang in his ears, and the faces of the villagers changed and changed, although they were still unwilling, no one opened their mouths to scold anymore.

Seeing them take the bait, Fang Xu smiled in his eyes and softened his tone, "I'll tell you the truth, the court has decreed that even if we ordinary people continue to fight, it will only be an egg hitting a stone, where can this arm be too strong for the thigh?" ”

"The villagers are all authentic croppers, honest and responsible, without bad intentions, and we are willing to make an exception for everyone." Fang Xu took the silver ticket from Shen Ji's hand and smiled kindly, "If everyone cooperates, we will hand over the deed with one hand and pay the money with the other." ”

"I hope that the villagers will not be obsessed, when the time comes, it will be hard to come up, and it will not be good to leave a family with no wealth."

Hearing this, it was inevitable that a few of the crowd were shaken, and they went home with a twist and went to get the title deed obediently.

The rest of the villagers stood in place, not knowing what to do, especially those who had thrown their faces at Shen Ji, and there was nothing they could do now.

Seeing this, Fang Xu patted Shen Ji's shoulder, and a dark glint flashed in his eyes, "Everyone, don't worry, the one standing in front of you right now is Shen Shilang of the Household Department, with him, he will not let the villagers suffer!" ”

As soon as he heard that Shen Ji was Lord Shilang, gasps sounded all around, and those who scolded him turned even whiter.

Shen Ji blinked, his long eyelashes fell, and his voice was low, "Madam, when did I become a household servant?" ”

Fang Xu arched him very lightly and whispered, "What do you know?" When you go out, your identity is all given by yourself! Are you still afraid that these villagers will investigate you? ”

Shen Ji stared at her, starlight flowing in his eyes, and hummed softly.

Fang Xu hooked his lips and raised his voice, "The imperial court wants to break ground in this place, there is a shortage of manpower, and the villagers can spontaneously stay and work, and ...... in January."

Fang Xu stretched out three fingers, "Three coins of silver." ”

"Three coins of silver? So much! ”

"Heavenly Bodhisattva...... Three dollars is enough for my family to eat for several months! ”

"With the money from the sale of land, why worry about not being able to get a house elsewhere? When the time comes, will it not be safer to return to work than to plant crops? ”

"That's it! With this salary, my eldest child will be able to study! ”

The villagers' faces turned cloudy and sunny in an instant, and they hurriedly asked Fang Xu if it was true.

Seeing Fang Xu nodded, he immediately went back to his home and took the title deed.

After completing the formalities of the last person, Fang Xu weighed the stack of title deeds in his hand, the corners of his mouth raised, and raised his eyebrows towards Shen Ji opposite, "How?" ”

Shen Ji shook his head and smiled, and said softly, "It's still Madame's better skills." ”

Fang Xu stuffed the land deed tied in his hand into Shen Ji's arms, and said with a smile, "This thing is yours." ”

Shen Ji paused slightly, his eyes full of surprise, "Mine? ”

"Or else?" Fang Xu raised his eyebrows, "Aren't you here for work?" ”

Shen Ji frowned, "But these land deeds were obtained by Madame." ”

Fang Xu sneered, his smile soft, "It's your silver ticket." ”

"Besides, you only have the last round of the entrance examination, if it weren't for your outstanding talent, how could someone send you to do this?" Fang Xu chuckled, "It's only a matter of time before you become an official in the court, and I can be regarded as hugging my thighs in advance!" ”

Fang Xu patted him on the shoulder, and his tone was relaxed, "You need it more than I do." ”

Shen Ji looked at her, his hand holding the title deed slowly tightened, and his eyes flashed with a light that Fang Xu couldn't understand, "Thank you...... Madam. ”

"Madame has a favor with me in this matter, and if Madame asks for it in the future, the definition cannot be resigned."

Fang Xu glanced at him with a dazzling smile, "You and I are old acquaintances, why do you still call me Mrs. like this?" ”

Shen Ji's face was stunned, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

"Just call me Sister Xu."

Before his smile could bloom, Fang Xu's words fell into his ears, and the smile froze straight on his face.

"Xiao Xu...... Sister? ”

"Yes." Fang Xu pursed his lips and chuckled, "I'm three years older than you, so I should be your sister." ”

Shen Ji only felt a roar in his ears, and immediately lowered his head and stopped responding.

"Alright, let's go back as soon as you're done." Fang Xu lifted his skirt and said softly, "I'll go back home first." ”

Seeing that Fang Xu was leaving, Shen Ji's lips moved, and he still opened his mouth, "Madam!" ”

Fang Xu paused, turned around suspiciously, and looked at him quietly.

Shen Ji held up a wry smile and said in a deep voice, "I came on foot, I wonder if Madame can take me for a while?" ”

When Fang Xu heard this, he said righteously, "Of course you can, come with me." ”

Shen Ji nodded and chuckled, "Then thank you, madam." ”

"You're welcome." Fang Xu smiled softly, "If you're okay later, I'll just treat you to lunch!" ”

Shen Ji smiled with his eyebrows, "Madame's invitation is Shen's luck." ”

The little guy on one side tugged at the corner of his clothes and whispered, "Sir, our carriage ......"

Shen Ji ruthlessly waved him away, and said in a deep voice, "You go alone, don't be discovered, don't pull me back." ”

The little guy stood in place, watching his husband walk away with a bitter expression.

Fang Xu took a sip of warm tea and smiled, "You're welcome, just eat." ”

Shen Ji nodded with a smile, the bamboo chopsticks stretched out to the nearest dish, slowly picked them up and put them in his mouth, and his gestures were full of elegance.

There were only the two of them in the room, and Su Zi and Bai Ji were in the other room, and Fang Xu opened a table for the two of them.

Fang Xu raised his hand and poured a cup of tea for Shen Ji, as if he had no intention of saying, "I heard you say that business is official before, but I don't know who you are into?" ”

Shen Ji was stunned and froze in place.

Fang Xu blinked and said softly, "Can't you say it?" ”

Shen Ji raised his eyes and looked at her, shook his head, and then said quietly, "Being with Madame, there is nothing that can't be said." ”

Shen Ji raised the teacup, took a sip, and lowered his voice, "I was ordered by the fourth prince. ”

"Fourth Prince......" Fang Xu raised his eyebrows, "It seems that this Yuan Chen's ambition is not small." ”

"Where's Madame?" Shen Ji put down the teacup and said in a low voice, "Who is going to Mazhaizi Village for?" ”

Fang Xu leaned back slightly, without the intention of concealing it, and laughed softly, "Eldest princess." ”

Hearing these three words, a trace of shock appeared on Shen Ji's face, and he lowered his voice and repeated again, "Long ...... The eldest princess? ”

"That's right." Fang Xu held his chin and smiled brightly, "She wanted to pull me into the gang, but I didn't want to, so she let cold arrows hurt me, kidnapped my children, and threw mice into my yard, I was scared, so I did something for her." ”

The more Shen Ji listened, the tighter his brows wrinkled, "Why have you never heard Xie Li say anything about such a big event?" ”

"There's not much to say." Fang Xu hooked the corners of his lips, looking easy-going, "I didn't take this matter to heart. ”

Hearing this, Shen Ji seemed to have thought of something, and smiled knowingly, "Madame, I'm afraid...... There's been a solution for a long time, right? ”

Fang Xu looked at him in surprise, and then laughed out loud, "You are like a god. ”

"Definitely." Shen Ji sandwiched a green vegetable and said in a deep voice, "I just think that according to my wife's temperament, I will never let myself suffer." ”

"The execution is going to be carried out tomorrow, you still can't think of a way now, do you really want to watch the prince die!"

The man's suppressed angry scolding came from the private room next door, Fang Xu's eyebrows jumped, and he raised his head suddenly, meeting Shen Ji's equally surprised eyes.
