Mo Yuyan frowned. He didn't expect so many things to happen in just two days. Someone dared to liaise with the Tatar army and traffic people. This was not a line that people from a small town could take.
It seems that if they are not punished, some people in the court will become restless again.
"Master, all the hematite ore has been surveyed, and Tartar has not mined much." An Er saw his expression condensed and couldn't help but ask: "Master, what's the matter?"
"Inform An Yi that I will go to town tomorrow. Just leave some manpower here at the Hematite Mine."
"yes."
The next day, An Yi came to Baicaotang.
"master."
"Tell me what's going on."
An Yi told the truth about Liu Yanxi: "My subordinates haven't done any other investigations yet, but those people don't seem to be lying."
"Hmph, how could the mayor of a mere small town do this?" However, if you want to catch a big fish, you must take a long-term approach.
"Master, there is nothing unusual about Miss Wen. She sells strawberries and opens stones every day. The business is very good. Today, the daughter-in-law of the Zhenguo General's Mansion returned to her maternal grandfather's house and had some interactions with Miss Wen." An Yi didn't. Forget about your mission and tell the truth.
"Strawberry?" He had never heard of this name before. What was a strawberry?
"It's a fruit that tastes extremely sweet."
"Have you eaten?"
"Back to the master, Miss Wen will give a few pills to her subordinates every day." Before An Yi could finish speaking, he felt that the air around him was a bit cold and there seemed to be signs of condensation. He quietly raised his head to look at his master.
"master······"
Mo Yuyan directly waved his palm, sending An Yi flying out of the study.
An Yi stood up from the ground, clutching his chest. He was not injured at all, but it was the first time he was blown away.
Why on earth did this master throw himself out?
Could it be because he ate a few strawberries?
No, the things the master usually rewards them with are much more precious than these strawberries.
At this moment, An Er walked over and said, "Hey, why were you thrown out today?"
An glanced at him. A guy who was kicked out of the study by his master in just three days had the nerve to laugh at him: "Are you itchy?"
An Er took a step back, joking, he couldn't afford to offend this guy, if An Er wanted to hit him, one hand would be enough.
I just didn't expect that his martial arts skills were so good that he would be sent to protect a village girl.
"I said An Yi, why were you thrown out today? Tell your brother, I am often thrown out, maybe I know the reason."
An Yi was a little impatient at first, but after hearing what he said, he hesitated.
What this guy said makes sense. If you know the reason, you can just avoid it in the future.
So, he briefly talked about today's events.
Unexpectedly, An Er also frowned: "I'm not sure about this. I have never been sent out by my master to protect a woman. Tsk, tsk, tsk, I didn't expect that you, as the secret guard with the highest martial arts skills in our palace, would actually protect a woman." Village girl.”
A white light flashed in An Yi's mind, could it be...
Thinking of this, he patted An Er's shoulder hard, almost knocking An Er down.
Brother, your fists can break rocks. Could you please stop hitting him on the shoulder so hard? It will kill people!
"An Er, I understand." After saying that, he left the palace in a hurry.
"Hey! What do you know! Tell me! Hey!"
An Er was confused, and the voice calling An Yi became louder and louder. Mo Yuyan was already upset, but when he heard An Er's voice, he directly blasted out another palm force, and An Er flew out gorgeously... ··
Within a few days, the Wen family's new house was completed.
Wen Kang bought a large bunch of firecrackers, hung them at the door and played them for a while.
People in the village came to watch the fun.
The head of the village smiled and said to Wen Danian: "Old man Wen, your house is the most awesome in our village. I have never seen such a good house in my decades of life, even if it is a member of the town. Home is just like this!"
Wen Danian waved his hand: "How dare you compete?"
The Wen family's house was built exactly according to Wen Xi's design. Wang Qing spent a lot of effort to realize her vision.
The house has three entrances, the front is prepared by Wenxi for the servants, the middle is the master room, where the Wen family all live, and the backyard is prepared by Wenxi as a guest room.
"Hey? What is that on the window of your house? Why is it transparent?" A villager pointed at the window and said.
"You have no idea. This thing is called Liuli. It is very valuable. It is used by wealthy families in the county. In the words of the girl from the Wen family, it not only blocks the wind, but also transmits light. You are not afraid of wind or rain." The worker who built her house whispered, "The Wen family must have made a lot of money, otherwise why would they buy such expensive things and put them on the windows?"
Other families in the village used pulp paper to paper their windows, which was cheap but did not protect them from the cold in winter. It was their first time seeing such a novel thing, and they were all extremely curious.
On the periphery of the house, Wenxi divided it into several areas, one for growing grain, one for growing fruits and vegetables, one for raising livestock, and another for her to build a greenhouse.
This way there will be fresh vegetables in winter.
"Everyone has been working hard recently. Our family has prepared meals to treat the folks in our village to a meal." Wen Xi said with a smile: "Although the house is finished, everyone has also seen that there is a lot of land outside our home. I need to plant, so I want to hire some people to help. If you want, you can tell me, I only need ten people."
"What about the wages? How much are the wages?"
"Just like now, we will also provide a lunch." Everyone who built a house in the Wen family knows how sumptuous the lunch at her house is, and many of them are ready to eat.
But when I think about the busy farming season and my family still has land to harvest, how can I find the time to do long-term work for the Wen family?
The person who just wanted to sign up swallowed his words again.
At this time, a woman squeezed out of the crowd.
"Can you look at me?"
Wen Xi took a look and saw that this was Sister Zhao who had been helping cook in the kitchen.
"My family has no land, and the man left early. Now we have a baby at home. The baby is not in good health, so we often have to buy some soup."
Wen Xi nodded. She knew about Sister Zhao. She was also a hard-working person, and she worked very hard when helping in the kitchen.
"Okay, the salary is twenty cents per day and one lunch."
"Thank you, thank you. From now on, the Wen family will be my boss." Sister Zhao said cheerfully.
Several more people came to sign up one after another, most of them without land, and Wenxi also wrote down their names for future use.
At this time, a person walked out of the crowd.
"I'm talking about the Wen family, what do you mean by doing this in the village? Do you want to become a rich man in the village?"
Wen Xi looked him up and down, and it turned out to be him.
This man wanted to build a house for her family before, but he was notoriously lazy. The village chief rejected him without hesitation. He must have had a grudge and wanted to make trouble.
