Chapter 77 Horse Racing
"It will take at least two hours." Manager He said with his head lowered.
After weighing it for a while, Xia Yutong finally said with relief: "Yes, if there really is a manor around the imperial city that takes action, it will not be our turn. Let's put it this way, if the manor you like is suitable, we will take it." The farther away, the better.
All the resentment in Manager He's heart was swept away. "Yes, I will listen to my master." Then he began to talk about the situations of several manors that he had taken a fancy to.
After listening, Xia Yutong smiled and said, "Okay, these two farms are good, let's take them. Also, you have to be very careful with the people inside, we have things that are not presentable to others."
At least she didn't plan to take it out now.
For six years, she has been hoarding seeds bit by bit. Now she has plenty of sweet potato and corn seeds, but now she is involved with Wen Li, so these are not enough.
Potatoes also need to be planted.
That thing can be used as staple food or as a cooking dish. It is a good thing.
"Master, don't worry. I plan to buy all the people from both farms. If the servants are willing to sell themselves, I will continue to use them. If not, I will give them a certain amount of money as compensation."
His master is kind-hearted, and he cannot hold his master back. However, it is because of his master's kindness that the current manager He of the Xia family came into being.
"That's good. Let them go and say hello to the wealthy families in the surrounding area. No one can suffer losses but the farmers must not be the ones to suffer." She knew the importance of farmers better than anyone else.
Manager He immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Master is so kind." He thanked the master for his kindness on behalf of the people.
"There's no good or bad. I was born into a peasant family." She didn't lie about this.
Liu'er helped the man up and said, "Manager He, please stop being polite in front of the young lady and go and get the job done." Liu'er said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes, Miss Liu'er is right." Manager He left with a smile on his face.
It was very late when Xia Yutong brought Liu'er back to the Xia family.
Have a good night's sleep.
In the next few days, just as Xia Yutong had expected, Yuyan's business got better and better.
Now that she had some free time, she began to miss Wen Li.
Let Liu'er go out and deliver a message, and ask Wen Li to come and see him when he is free.
She was also emotional about what happened last time. Now that she has calmed down for a few days, it's time to reconcile.
To be honest, her condition seems to have taken care of Wen Li, and she has the mentality of a rich woman.
Don’t remember it when you are busy, remember it when you need it.
And in these few days, major events also happened in the court.
I don’t know what’s wrong with the eldest prince, but his face is so cold that it can freeze someone to death.
As soon as things don't go your way, they start fighting.
Last time, he even defeated the civil officials who advised him in the court.
The emperor gave each of them fifty lashes and then let them go, which made many ministers in the court very angry.
Especially those people headed by the second prince, they all picked on the eldest prince's points and criticized him every day.
Is Wen Li the kind of person who suffers losses?
So, he seemed to find pleasure in attending court every day, arguing with his ministers and almost turning the court into a vegetable market.
Unfortunately, the emperor did not punish him in the end, but just said a few words.
In this way, the ministers standing beside the eldest prince were all enjoying watching the show.
Wen Li came back from the court early this morning. As soon as he arrived at the East Palace, he received a letter saying that they wanted to see him. He was so excited.
"Freshmen and sophomores, get ready. Your eldest prince is going to visit a brothel." He spoke loudly, but you could tell there was joy in his tone.
There were quite a few spies in the Eastern Palace, and all of them were sent away one by one.
When the opponents heard what the eldest prince had done, they were all furious.
Of course, that’s how it looks on the surface, but I don’t know how happy I am in my heart.
If the eldest prince continues to commit suicide like this every day, he will never be able to ascend to the throne.
When no one was around, those rival ministers laughed as if their legitimate wives had died.
You're visiting a brothel in broad daylight. How dare your own master say that?
However, the two of them quickly thought of a possibility, which is...
It seems that the master's spring has come.
After leaving the palace, Wen Li went straight to his own brothel without saying a word.
After he went in, he didn't come out until night.
Of course, it looked like this to outsiders, but the truth was, Wen Li had already left the brothel and came to the Xia Mansion.
Sitting under the grape trellis, drinking tea with my beloved, it feels so comfortable.
"How's business in the store?" The two were talking about some trivial matters.
"Yes, it's getting better slowly."
Seeing this, Wen Li was happy for her. Although he also owned half of Huangcheng Yuyan, in his heart, Yuyan belonged to her alone.
"By the way, I can stay away for a few more days recently. Is there any place you want to go?" Wen Li thought that he had been going crazy for a few days and it was time to have some fun.
The gentleness on Xia Yutong's face condensed in her eyes. Of course, a hint of surprise also flashed in her eyes, "You don't have to go to court?"
Of course, there are places she wants to go. She really wants to visit the Zhuangzi that Manager He mentioned, but she just hasn't had the time.
Wen Li shook his head and narrowed his eyes, "There's nothing wrong with Chaoshang. Even if there is something, it's not as important as accompanying you."
As they talked, the distance between them became closer.
Wen Li's eyes were filled with doting, "If you want to go, I'll go with you."
The events of the past few days have just been revealed.
He likes her better now.
She is very comfortable without any sharp edges. Of course, he also likes her with sharp edges.
Looking at her now, I feel relieved.
Xia Yutong felt as if her heart was blocked by a ball of cotton, and she felt inexplicably sweet.
"Well, then come with me for a walk outside the city." This weather is also suitable for an outing.
The weather in April is very peaceful with the spring breeze blowing the willows.
Outside the city, no problem. Just let the freshmen and sophomores guard the gate for two more days.
Besides, who in the brothel would dare to break into his door?
After the two met, they immediately got ready.
After lunch, they started to take the carriage to leave the imperial city.
Go to the outside world.
On the way, Xia Yutong and Wen Liao changed their makeup so that people who were not very familiar with them could not recognize them.
After sitting in the carriage for a long time, Xia Yutong also wanted to ride a horse, so she asked Liu'er to stop the carriage and said, "Let's go riding." She pulled Wen Li and walked out.
Wen Li put all his attention on her and satisfied her no matter what she wanted to do.
I haven't seen her smile so happily for a long time.
"good."
When two people ride on the same horse, there will of course be some physical contact.
He endured the fragrance of her body again and again, but finally he couldn't bear it anymore.
"Xiaotong, can you let me hug you?" Wen Li said in a hoarse voice.
Of course she had noticed the changes in his body, but she didn't expect him to make such a request.
However, since he is so obedient, give him some benefits.
"Yeah." Xia Yutong agreed and burst into laughter.
On horseback, the two people's laughter and joy could be heard from a long distance away.
Liu'er knew her master's heart. Besides, as a servant, she couldn't be the head of her master's household.
It would be better to stay in the carriage and eat and drink.
