Chapter 5 Temporary Red Envelope



Night falls.

Two palace maids were lying on the bed to warm the quilt. After Situ Xiu finished his luxurious dinner, he washed up with the help of the palace maids, then walked to his four-meter-long and wide bed, covered himself with a gold-thread quilt, and lay down to rest.

As soon as he entered the warm bed, he smelled a fragrance, the faint fragrance of a young girl. The palace maids on both sides looked shy.

“The old-time warm bed was really nice.”

Situ Xiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. There is heating in modern times, and there was also heating in ancient times.

Winter nights are very cold. In ancient times, before the nobles went to bed, their servants would warm the beds and then give up the warm seats when the masters fell asleep.

Situ Xiu looked around, his eyes turned, and he said with a smile: "Let me play a game with you. From 1 to 100, how many 9s are there?"

Lanhua, the maid on the left, said, "Your Highness, a 9."

Qiumei, the palace maid on the right, said, "Your Highness, ten nines."

"hey-hey....."

He smiled, lay comfortably on the bed, and then joined the chat group.

Lanhua and Qiumei looked at each other, both with confusion in their eyes.

Swish swish...Information +99.

This is the chat record between Shirona and Bulma again, with messages from a 16-year-old and a 9-year-old. There is a 7-year age difference but there is no generation gap between them. It turns out that IQ is very important.

Shirona: "I'm already on the plane to Kanto. I'll be there soon. Let's not talk for now."

Bulma: "I'm alone again. I'm going to get off too. It's so boring."

Both of them were not online, and Situ Xiu left the chat group again.

........

The next day.

After the sun rose and breakfast was over, the team set out from Xiuhe Village and headed north along the road.

"Sitting on this and rocking it, I always feel like I'm going to pick up my godmother with the Golden Horn and Silver Horn."

In the long queue, Situ Xiu sat on a chair between two sticks like a local tyrant, being carried by four people.

Today I am inspecting a thousand acres of fertile farmland, and by the way, I will meet with the hundreds of subordinates that Eunuch Hai mentioned. The journey will be to the village first, and then to see the fertile farmland.

The village is not far from Xiuhe Village, and it only takes ten minutes to get there. Before entering the village, a group of simple people stood at the door to greet us.

"This was definitely not my arrangement."

Situ Xiu said this in his heart.

Such a grand occasion must have been announced by Eunuch Hai, and then the villagers came out to welcome them.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince."

A group of people saluted.

"No need to be polite."

Situ Xiu said calmly, his eyes sweeping over the people. Most of them were women, and very few were men. They were dressed simply, had timid eyes, and all looked like honest people.

Then the large group left.

"Eunuch Hai, give each of them an extra cotton-padded jacket."

It was very cold in winter. Situ Xiu noticed that the people were shivering in the cold wind in their thin clothes.

Eunuch Hai hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, I will give you the instructions when I get back."

"If possible, each family should get a few more quilts."

Situ Xiu thought about it and realized that these were all his subordinates. He would have to rely on them for farming in the future, so they couldn’t be frozen to death.

Besides, he needs people now.

"Ah, Your Highness, this is a bit of a waste." Eunuch Hai frowned. They are just ordinary people. There is no need to be nice to them.

"If you do as I say, there will be no silver in the manor?" Situ Xiu said unhappily.

"As long as you have the money, I will take care of it. Please rest assured, Your Highness." Eunuch Hai did not dare to question it this time. Although the Fourth Prince was a man, he was still a royal relative after all.

The next part of the journey goes around thousands of acres of fertile farmland. As it is winter, the farmland is left barren and will be planted when spring comes.

"Whose mountain over there is?"

Situ Xiu asked, there was a big mountain at the edge of the field, and it was planted with big trees.

"It's yours, Your Highness." Eunuch Hai said.

"oh."

Situ Xiu nodded slightly, looked at the fields again, and then asked, "What are you planting in these fields?"

"Rice." said Eunuch Hai.

“Is it just rice?”

Situ Xiu frowned. The rice planting season starts in May and June, and the harvest is around October. Then the land is idle from November to April, which is about half a year.

"Yes." said Eunuch Hai.

Situ Xiu shook his head and sighed, his expression very complicated.

Eunuch Hai was puzzled as to why a child was imitating an adult's sigh.

"The Great Sage is very lucky to have met me."

Situ Xiu patted Eunuch Hai's shoulder, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go back."

Eunuch Hai sighed lightly and left the palace. He didn't know whether this day was a blessing or a curse.

On the way back, Situ Xiu entered the chat group and sent a message +99.

Shirona: "I'm so hungry. I encountered a giant beedle while riding my bike. My backpack fell into the river and then all the food was gone. I'm so unlucky."

Bulma: "Poor thing, meeting Bumblebee."

Both are online.

Situ Xiu: "I have food here, Sirona, wait for me."

Then he looked at Xiao Shunzi beside him and said, "Xiao Shunzi, give me a plate of cakes."

"Your Highness, here." Xiao Shunzi opened the lunch box he was carrying, took out a plate of pastries and handed it over.

Situ Xiu took the plate and his hand touched the pastry, and the pastry disappeared.

The other side.

Pokemon World.

A red envelope appeared on the chat group panel in front of Shirona, with the word "Open" written on it.

"Open?"

Subconsciously reciting the words, Shirona opened the red envelope and felt something extra in her hand. She lowered her head to take a look.

Green pastries!

She picked it up and smelled it, her eyes lit up, she put it in her mouth and ate it, saying as she ate, "It tastes pretty good."
