This is a seemingly ordinary study, but in the entire Yao Mansion, there are no more than five people who are qualified to appear here.

"How did you deal with this matter?" The person who spoke was Yao Batian, the contemporary head of the Yao family, who was in his forties, dressed in a soap robe, with blazing eyes and extremely high cheekbones. At this time, he sat in the top position, put down the spirit grass and a spirit flower that he had been watching for a long time, they were the two that were taken away by Xiao in the medicine garden.

"Back to the head of the family, I have promoted this person to the rank of steward, in charge of the elixir garden, and issued a full order to him, if he leaves the mansion without permission, he will be killed immediately. In the meantime, I have instructed the secret agents in the house to investigate this person, and I believe that the results will be obtained soon. Xiao Mingming's expression was solemn and replied seriously.

"Okay, I've always been relieved that you are doing things, can the people sent by the palace go?" Yao Batian casually asked about another matter.

"The palace envoy has gone back, this is a holy decree sent by the other party. Xiao Mingming's expression moved, and as soon as he flipped his palm, a yellow silk scroll appeared in his hand and handed it to Yao Batian.

"Holy decree?haha, is the emperor old confused!" Yao Batian was angry, opened the so-called holy decree and glanced at it.

"This is not written by the old emperor, it is his straw bag son who used the jade seal without permission, and falsely passed on the holy decree, saying that he would accept my daughter Ruoxi as the crown princess. Yao Batian's eyes flashed coldly, and he said gloomily.

"The head of the family, that prince has become a thief since he met the eldest lady once last year, and this time he is even more bold enough to do such a thing, do you want me to ...... secretly" Xiao Mingming's eyes were also cold, and he made a gesture, but he didn't say any more.

"No, no matter what the old emperor says, he has always been polite to me, and he can't do anything to the people of the royal family unless he has to. Above all, don't forget, there's also the Guardians of the Imperial Road. Yao Batian just pondered for a moment and then said.

"Although he is the prince, he is also the best candidate to ascend the throne in the future, not to mention that he is absurd and unscrupulous all day long, even if he is wise and martial, how can the eldest lady marry a mortal! I wonder how the head of the family thinks this matter should be handled?" As soon as he heard the guardian of the imperial road, the corners of Xiao Mingming's mouth twitched, but when he talked about the royal family, he looked arrogant and did not take the royal family in his eyes at all.

"You will personally deliver this false decree to the old emperor later, if he is smart, he will know how to deal with it, as for the rest, there is no need to say more, remember, you must not be rude, you still have to give the royal face. Yao Batian commanded.

"The head of the family can rest assured, the name is clear. ”

"Alas, a year later, it will be the time when the Purple Mountain Sect tests the spiritual root for my Yao family, once every eight years, which can be regarded as a little benefit for us to rely on the Purple Mountain Sect. Seven years ago, Ruoxi didn't test the spiritual root, but at that time she was not yet seven years old, and there was hope, but now that she is seven years old, if she has not detected the spiritual root this time, then she has no chance with Xiuzhen, and she can only be a mortal for the rest of her life, in that case, the best result is really to be a queen. Yao Batian thought of a piece of his heart, his expression was depressed, and he smiled bitterly.

"The head of the family, the eldest lady is your daughter, which is much higher than the probability of ordinary people having a spiritual root, and I watched the eldest lady grow up, this child is full of spirituality, most of them will have a spiritual root, and among the cultivators, there are many women who do not have a spiritual root before the age of seven, so the head of the family does not have to worry too much. Hearing this, Xiao Mingming hurriedly comforted.

"I hope so. Yao Batian sighed, thinking of his daughter, the family hero showed a touch of love in his eyes, and worry flashed on his face.

"Retribution. At this moment, a loud voice came from outside.

"Master of the family, it's the wind that has returned, and Du Fan's matter should have a result. Xiao Mingming's expression moved.

"Okay, let him in. Yao Batian's spirits lifted.

......

After a stick of incense, there are still Yao Batian and Xiao in this study.

"So, there is really no problem with Du Fan's background, it's not an undercover agent sent by other forces, so wouldn't we have picked up a treasure, haha......" Yao Batian swept away his congenital worries and laughed.

"Yes, the head of the family, I didn't expect that he was seriously ill and didn't die a month ago, and now he has such attainments in the grass and trees, arranging and planting, herbs and herbs, and the things that are made out of beast feces, they can work together to double the growth rate of spiritual herbs, it's really incredible. Xiao Mingming's eyes flashed with surprise, and his shocked expression was not concealed at this moment.

"Not only that, you look at this deer tail grass, this spirit grass was originally the growth limit of five years, and if it continues to be cultivated, it will not increase the medicinal properties, but now, it has increased the medicinal properties by a full month, which is an inexplicable thing. By the way, this matter must be kept absolutely confidential, and no information should be leaked. Yao Batian was also shocked, and finally remembered something and solemnly commanded.

"Don't worry, I will handle this matter. In the future, we can secretly exchange the extra output of spiritual herbs for spirit stones, but I don't know how this person should be arranged next?" Xiao took the order in the name, then hesitated for a moment, and asked.

"The current medicine garden manager is Liu Neng, in the future, only let him be in charge of the ordinary medicine garden, and hand over all the elixir gardens to Du Fan to manage, as for the treatment, it will be twice as high as other managers, I want to reuse this person, and at the same time, let him be willing to work for my Yao family." Yao Batian's tone was unquestionable.

"Yes!"

"In the name, this move can be regarded as plucking the hair directly from the Purple Mountain Sect, and the slightest carelessness will cause great disaster, but if it was just money, I would not take such a risk, this is a spirit stone, and the importance of it to us is self-evident. You can now use the secret connections in your family to infiltrate several Xiuzhen black markets in the Tianxiang Kingdom and contact several reliable sales channels. Yao Batian's eyes were full of light and he made up his mind.

"Yes, I'll take care of it. ”

......

"Steward Zhao, this is the place arranged for Brother Du? is there no mistake?" Looking at a courtyard in front of him, Xiaohu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, a little suspicious.

"This is the personal order of Steward Xiao, how could I be mistaken. Steward Zhao smiled slightly when he heard this.

He is the housekeeper of Yao Mansion, directly obeys the orders of Xiao Da Butler, and his status in Yao Mansion is not low, and he is above all the stewards. This person is thirty or forty years old, Confucian-like, gentle and elegant, and very friendly to people.

"Steward Xiao has instructed that if Steward Du needs silver taels for the cultivation of medicinal herbs, he can go to the treasury to get it. In addition, these nursing homes are responsible for the safety of Du Steward, and Steward Xiao values you so much, and your future is limitless, which is really gratifying. Steward Zhao turned his head to Du Fan and said.

Du Fan glanced at the two rows of nursing homes in front of him, carrying a knife at his waist and holding a stick in his hand, and his clothes were uniform and he stood neatly, obviously specially trained.

Du Fan smiled bitterly in his heart, where is this responsible for his own safety, this is clearly used to monitor himself, if he does something that makes people suspicious, these nurses will probably take him down as soon as possible. He hadn't heard of a steward who had a nursing home under him, and at most a few servants.

"Thank you for your kindness, I will do my best to serve the Yao family. Du Fan could only clench his fists and thank him.

"Haha, that's very good, I still have some things to deal with, so I won't delay Steward Du's rest. Seeing Du Fan so acquainted, Steward Zhao showed a satisfied look on his face and left.

Steward Zhao walked slowly. Du Fan clenched his fists and sent him off.

"Steward Du, villain Liu San, if there is anything in the future, just ask. After Steward Zhao walked away, a head of the public nursing home stepped forward and hugged his fist at Du Fan.

This person's expression was cold, his figure was tall, his eyes did not squint, and a murderous aura faintly emanated from his body.

"Brother Liu is polite. Du Fan's eyes flashed slightly, and he replied with his fists clenched.

Liu San nodded and began to deploy his subordinates. These courtyard orders are forbidden, orderly, and in a moment, there are standing positions at all angles in the courtyard, and there are no dead ends in the huge courtyard, and Du Fan can't help but feel a pang in his heart when he sees it.

Leaving aside his worries, Du Fan took Xiaohu to the main room, and when he entered the door, there was a hall with complete tables and chairs, and a few incense burners. The hall is flanked by side doors that lead to different rooms.

Du Fan walked around the house briefly and found that there were two bedrooms, one for himself and Xiaohu.

Back in the hall, Du Fan found that Xiaohu was looking at every furnishing in the room with curious eyes, and stroked it with his hand from time to time, and couldn't help but wonder.

"I don't have any bad intentions towards Yao Mansion, I think there is no problem with my own safety, and in the next few days, I can let Xiaohu live a good life, and I can also live a peaceful life here. Du Fan thought so.

"Du Fan, Xiaohu, you guys are too uninteresting, especially you Du Fan, you didn't tell me after you were promoted, or I found out the news myself. A crisp and pleasant voice like a cuckoo came in, and then a red delicate figure flashed, and then jumped into the house, with a dissatisfied look, wrinkling her little nose, and the person who came was the eldest lady of the Yao family.

"Miss. Xiaohu hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

Yao Ruoxi waved his hand to signal that there was no need to be polite.

"I also just learned about this, I was just brought here by Steward Zhao, and you came. Du Fan spread his hands, feeling helpless.

"Liar!" Yao Ruoxi rolled her eyes directly.

"But I don't remember the villain, look at what I have brought you. ”
