"So Mr. Xie has gone back to the Yamen to write notes?"
"Well, this matter is important and it is inevitable to report it. However, the fifth prince may send troops to garrison the village in the next few days."
"Is it so grand?"
"Although Xie Wenbin is currently employed in Lin'an Mansion, there are a lot of people watching here. Recently, a few rats have come to the city."
Cheng Xi was speechless, "It's just a farm, how can it be treated like a conspiracy?"
Chen Xingluo chuckled. To them, it was really just farming. However, to the local officials and the people of the world, it was beneficial to the country and the credit was great.
The two of them walked out of the kitchen carrying the dishes. Mr. Xu was already sitting quietly at the dining table, sipping wine.
And there was a table of potato dishes in front of him, and there was no shortage of potatoes compared to those at the end of the field.
"Hey, don't tell me, these dumplings are really delicious. This plate is made of noodles, but this one is crispy and refreshing."
That's because most of the starch in the potatoes has been soaked in water.
Cheng Xi sat on one side, "As long as you like to eat."
"It's a pity that I can only eat this meal."
Mr. Xu smashed the bar twice and looked at Tudou with regret.
Today, thanks to my apprentice, I was lucky to be able to "smuggle" a few back from the fields. Even if there was a bumper potato harvest, they would all be saved for sowing in the future.
Cheng Xi chuckled lightly, "Master, don't regret it. We can plant a second crop this year and harvest it at the end of September after autumn."
"Huh, what's the use of that? You won't be in the village by then."
"..." That makes sense.
The current head of Lin'an Mansion is very resolute in handling affairs, and he gave away the discounts after returning home.
Of course, the fifth prince from Huaishan Camp was not left behind either.
So within two days, a group of soldiers wearing armor came on horseback. The leader was Fu Cheng, whom the villagers had met once before.
Just a quarter of an hour ago, an ordinary carriage drove out of Shenjia Village.
Su Zhan was in charge of driving the car, while Wang Shu sat silently on the other side. In the carriage, Shen Xingluo was reading a book, while Shen Xingqi was holding Cheng Xi's arm and talking quietly.
"Why doesn't Mr. Xu come to Beijing with us?"
"Master traveled all over Dayan in his early years and saw countless sights. Rather than hanging out with us, he preferred guarding the Shennong Mountains."
Cheng Xi comforted her, "Don't worry, Master will probably come find us when we settle down in the capital."
Shen Xingqi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and finally realized, "Yes, when the old man finishes drinking the wine my sister-in-law left for him, he will definitely come to us."
】
"that's right."
However, Shen's Ancestral Hall is probably going to get busy in the future, and he doesn't know how many days he can eat the braised pork left for his master at home.
The few people were in no hurry and the carriage was not moving very fast.
Shen Xingqi had never been outside the confines of Lin'an Mansion, so she was curious about everything. She opened the curtain and looked outside countless times along the way, without feeling tired at all.
After walking around all morning, we chose a forest near the water to rest at noon.
"Sir, get out of the car and rest."
Wangshu picked up the sword and said, "Madam, I'm going to hunt some wild animals nearby."
"Go ahead."
After Su Zhan set up the carriage, he went to the stream to get water. Cheng Xi took out a piece of cloth and spread it on the grass. He laid out the snacks prepared in the morning and ate and rested.
It didn't look like I was in a hurry at all, but more like I was going out for an outing.
Wang Shu soon came back with two prepared pheasants, and a fire was set up here.
