The day Xiao Nuan entered Beijing was April 25, and she was busy planting. The rice in the fourth village is ripe, and Tian Guinong is busy harvesting rice with people. Xiao Nuan got out of the carriage and raised his nose to smell it, and the air was full of the green smell of freshly harvested crop stalks, which was very refreshing.

The Qin family and the Li family rested for one night, and the next day they led people to devote themselves to the major event of harvesting rice, and they could not be persuaded either.

The rice stalks cut with a sickle are carried to the edge of the ground, and then they are beaten vigorously in the rice bucket so that the rice grains fall into the rice bucket. This work is dirty, tiring and tiring, so the mango planting season of rice and wheat is the hardest time of the year. But the long-term workers of the fourth village have not felt hard in recent years, because they have helpers.

The guards who protect Xiao Nuan's mother and daughter are now all experts in farming, from weeding and catching insects to picking cotton and harvesting rice. These hundreds of rice looked scary, but the guards threw off their arms and competed, and the grains could be returned to the warehouse in a few days.

This grain is not an exaggeration, but it is true that not a grain of rice can fall to the ground, and it must be entered to dry and returned to the warehouse! Seeing the degree of turtle hair in the Shengwang Mansion from the master to the guards to the servants, Tian Guinong went from disbelief to fear, and then from fear to numbness and obedience. He now dares to pat his chest and say to everyone that he is the cleanest grange steward in the world!

Who cares about the Grange and can return the grains to the warehouse? He could!

Who cares that there is not even a single grass on the grange? He could!

Who cares that the grange even has to be neatly arranged and pleasing to the eye? He...... Yes!

Tian Guinong lined up a few rice stalks that dared not be neatly arranged, and looked at the sky with tears in his eyes. The county lord is here, will King Sheng be far away? When he came to the old man's house and saw the rice stalks he had placed, could he still find fault with his black face?

"The steward of this grange can keep the grange so well organized, even if he goes with you to be a housekeeper." Zhao Shuyan discussed things with Xiao Nuan and said with a smile.

Xiao Nuan laughed, "If Tian Guinong hears this, I'm afraid I will be so frightened that I will fall into the mud in the rice field." ”

Zhao Shuyan looked at Xiao Nuan's smiling face, his eyes were as deep as a pool, and he couldn't help asking, "My sister's wedding is coming, can there be...... What does the foolish brother need to do? ”

Xiao Nuan nodded vigorously, "Little sister will definitely lack skills in the next two months, if the Qin Dongjia and the display cabinet in my shop have something to make up their minds, I will have to bother the eldest brother to give me some advice." ”

After the year and the year, Xiao Nuan personally deployed the liaison network between the cotton fields, cotton mills and Ayaluo Nishang in the 11 northern states, ensuring that each point was connected to two or three nearby points, and that each point supported and supervised each other, so as to improve the efficiency of the entire network of Ayaluo Nishang.

Before leaving Jixian, Xiao Nuan made a business plan with various stewards for Jixian, Yangzhou and Dengzhou City in the second half of the year to ensure that he was not in his position and that all businesses could operate normally. She arrived in the capital ahead of schedule, mainly to deploy the business of the capital.

Qin San, the showcase and Zhanfu are still a little skilled in dealing with the complex competition situation in Beijing, and Zhao Shuyan and Qi Zhiheng have experience in this area, so Xiao Nuan is so entrusted.

Zhao Shuyan looked at her little face with more and more outstanding appearance and temperament, and asked with a smile, "You can trust me so much?" ”

Xiao Nuan's gaze was withdrawn from the lively rice field, and he looked at Zhao Shuyan sincerely, "In the business field, Xiao Nuan's most trustworthy person is the eldest brother." ”

What about other occasions, who is the person you trust and rely on the most, King Sheng? Xiao Nuan's wedding date is approaching, and Zhao Shuyan can't control his heart anymore. Afraid that he would be sorry for Xiao Nuan's trust, and afraid of causing trouble for her, Zhao Shuyan gathered his mind and stood side by side with her, looking at the faint bamboo fence on the south side of the grange for a long time before he said softly, "I know." ”

Xiao Nuan felt that something was wrong with him, but she couldn't ask and couldn't ask. The two of them quietly listened to the sound of the guards shouting trumpets and threshing rice stalks for a while, and Zhao Shuyan said, "I'm leaving, if something happens, you can just let the Japanese war and the showcase go to the grocery store or restaurant to find me." ”

Xiao Nuan nodded, watching him leave, feeling a little uneasy.

Seeing that Zhao Shuyan had walked away, and the girl was still looking at his back and not moving, Xuan Wu reminded in a low voice, "Girl, the third master is coming soon." ”

Xiao Nuan responded, "Tell the kitchen to prepare the meal, and then ask the two grandmothers to take the dowry list and show it to the third master." ”

"Girl......" Xuan Wu deliberately reminded the girl a few words, if she let the third master see her preoccupied appearance, she would be worried. However, this is not easy to say.

Xiao Nuan turned her head, "Huh?" ”

"What kind of meals do you have in the kitchen?" Xuan Wu asked differently.

Xiao Nuan thought for a while, "It's hot, you should focus on light, fry two seasonal vegetables, and then shoot a cucumber." ”

Xuan Wu's tiger body was shocked, and it was difficult to respond.

Out of the fourth village, Zhao Shuyan lowered his head and pulled the horse slowly, with a lot of worries. Hearing the sound of carriages and horses coming from the front, Zhao Shuyan looked up and recognized that it was King Sheng's carriage.

The car came from the north, and it should have come from the capital. Zhao Shuyan heard that King Sheng has been busy with official business recently, and he often stays in Tianzhang Pavilion at night and cannot return to the house, and when Xiao Nuan comes, he will have the kung fu to go out of the city.

Zhao Shuyan pulled the horse and stood on the side of the road, and when the carriage approached, Zhao Shuyan bent down and saluted. He is a prince who is high, and he is a scholar, so he should give way and ask him to go first.

Xuansan pulled the horse to a stop, and the curtain of the car was opened, revealing the face of the third master who was as bright as the moon in the clouds, and his voice was rarely gentle, "Back to the city?" ”

Zhao Shuyan didn't expect King Sheng to stop and talk to him, so he made up his mind and said, "Shuyan went to the fourth village to discuss a few important matters in the shop with the county lord and Steward Huang. ”

Obviously he could answer in one or two words, but he said so much instead of asking, this is ...... Weak heart? The third master bowed slightly, and said quietly, "The invitation has been sent to your mansion, and if Zhao Gongzi is free on May 18, please go to this palace's mansion to drink a glass of wine." ”

Zhao Shuyan's body did not move, and replied calmly, "Shuyan is honored. ”

After King Sheng's carriage passed, Zhao Shuyan slowly straightened his body, lowering his eyes and not knowing what to think. His little servant Zhao Jin was very distressed when he saw the young master like this, and stepped forward and whispered to persuade, "Young master, if you continue to get heat stroke in the sun like this, let's go back to the city quickly, right?" ”

Zhao Shuyan turned over and entered the city on his horse and returned to the Qinjia Restaurant. After he calmly walked into the study, he ordered, "Prepare wine and rice." ”

The young master added the word "wine" before the meal, which is to borrow wine to dispel his sorrows. Zhao Jin asked in a low voice, "What kind of food and wine does the young master want to eat?" ”

"Steamed eggplant, cucumber pat, spirits." Zhao Shuyan commanded casually.

These two things are what Miss Chen likes to eat, and if the young master wants to eat, it is obvious that he can't let go of that person, and everyone is going to get married...... Zhao Jin withdrew without a word, and quickly brought the wine and food. Zhao Jin, who knew the young master's thoughts, brought not a pot of wine, but four pots. It's okay to let the young master get drunk, and get drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows.

After no one in the room, Zhao Shuyan sat at the table and poured himself a drink. A glass of liquor in his stomach made his eyes hot.

Clear...... It was he who met her first, and walked side by side with her first, originally he thought that he could walk like this for a lifetime, but now he is the only one left.

Heart, unwilling......
