"I'll be careful when I go out." Chen Li had already pulled Chi Yan out of the room while speaking, and then she jumped on the horse neatly and waved to her three brothers, "I'm leaving."
Watching Shen Li riding away in style, Shen Jingyuan and the other two thought of her abilities and were no longer so worried.
"Brother, you just drank a lot of wine, go back and rest first."
Shen Qi'an said to his eldest brother, and the three brothers walked into the house together.
Although the sun was out today, it was not very hot. Seeing that there was no one around, he slowed down and took out the deed from his sleeve (space).
Zhuangzi is not far from the city. Judging from the address, it should be about 30 miles away from here.
After figuring out where the place was, Chen Li patted Chi Yan's back and Chi Yan started running.
During this period, Chen Li had no time to take care of it. Everyone in the family was busy, and there were only a few livestock, so it was not needed to drive the carriage. It was always watching from the back of the yard, which made Chi Yan very frustrated.
Chen Li naturally noticed it, so she rode it out for some fresh air today.
A man and a horse galloped on the road, and soon they arrived at where Zhuangzi was.
These two villages are in the same place, but there is probably a little distance between them. But it doesn’t matter.
This manor used to belong to the Lu family. Although it is hers now, she has not shown up yet, but the name hanging on it is still Lu Family Villa.
Chen Li knocked on the door and waited for a long time before someone came to open it. The person who came was a short and fat middle-aged man with wheat-colored skin, a handsome appearance and sharp eyes.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Shen Li."
When Zhang Zhuangtou saw an unfamiliar little girl standing at the door, he was a little confused. When he heard the girl say her name was Chen Li, Zhang Zhuangtou suddenly understood.
"Miss Shen, you are here, please come in."
His attitude immediately became respectful, he opened the door and stepped aside to make way.
They had known for some time that the owner of the manor had changed. They only knew that the new owner's surname was Shen, and it was obviously the little girl in front of them.
Although the girl was young and her clothes looked like they were made of ordinary cloth, her aura made Zhang Zhuangtou dare not underestimate her. The master had already sent a message, so the girl in front of him would be his future master.
Zhang Zhuangtou took the initiative to step forward and took the reins from Chen Li's hand, "Miss, please come in."
Chen Li walked in and said to the middle-aged man beside her: "If you have something to do, go ahead and do it. I'll take a walk first."
Zhang Zhuangtou shook his head. "Most of the things in the village are done now, so it's not very busy."
"I am the manager of this village, my last name is Zhang. I wonder if the young lady would like to meet another village head?"
"Then you call them over first. I'll walk around the farm and come back later."
"yes."
After saying that, Chen Li took the reins from his hand and rode Chi Yan around the village.
Zhuangtou Zhang asked someone to find another Zhuangtou, Zhuangtou Wang, and then waited for Chen Li to come in the main hall at the table.
Radishes and cabbages are still grown on the farm. There is also a pond. Some dried poles can be seen from the outside. There must be lotus or water lilies planted in it.
This farm looks quite big. At a rough glance, it is estimated that the land is about 80 mu. There are some low farmhouses in the wider areas on both sides of the fields, which should be where tenants live.
There were some children playing near the farmhouse, but they didn't go into the fields to cause trouble.
From time to time, some tenants passed by in the middle of the field, holding farm tools in their hands. Their dark faces and old looks made them look much older than they actually were.
There are seven or eight hills in the village. Chen Li walked over and saw that different fruit trees were planted on the hills, including peach trees, pear trees, apple trees and other seven or eight kinds of seedlings.
There is also a mountain of orange trees. The yellow oranges hanging on the branches are very pleasing to the eye.
Seeing the oranges, Chen Li couldn't help but start to saliva. He rode his horse closer, picked one, and broke it open in the middle to reveal the fruit inside.
I put a petal into my mouth, and as soon as I took a bite, my eyes narrowed.
But later on, she could smell the sweetness, half sour and half sweet. Chen Li rode on Chi Yan and ate the whole orange. She walked around for a while and thought it was about time, so she went back.
Wang Zhuangtou had just asked Zhang Zhuangtou what kind of person their new master was. When he heard Zhang Zhuangtou say that it was a young girl, his brows immediately frowned into a "川" shape.
What happened to the original owner? Why did he hand over the management of these two farms to a little girl?
Zhang Zhuangtou saw the changing expressions on his face and said a few more good words about Chen Li, but Wang Zhuangtou just nodded twice perfunctorily, and didn't seem to take it seriously.
Zhang Zhuangtou raised his eyebrows and said nothing more. It was not like he had not reminded her that the girl did not look like a simple person.
Considering their long-standing friendship, he had already reminded her, but she didn't take it seriously.
They were both sitting at the bottom seat at this moment, and he gently picked up the tea beside him and took a sip.
Forget it, it’s hard to persuade a damn ghost with kind words.
Chen Li hung the rope around Chi Yan's neck and patted its head. "Just walk around, don't mess around. This farm is now yours, my master. Got it?"
“Wheeze~”
He walked into the main hall. Chi Yan was already a mature horse, so he let it wander around the farm.
"Miss."
Seeing Chen Li come in, both of them stood up and called out respectfully. At least their attitude was very respectful.
When Wang Zhuangtou saw Chen Li, his brows subconsciously furrowed even tighter, but he was always cautious and didn't know the master in front of him, so he didn't say anything rashly.
Chen Li walked directly to the seat above her and sat down. Zhang Zhuangtou pushed the tea towards her.
"This is tea from Wangzhuangtou Village. It's been steeped for a while and is now at the perfect temperature. Miss, please try it."
Chen Li's eyebrows moved slightly. She didn't expect that there was tea on the other pile, and from what Zhang Zhuangtou said, it seemed that there was a lot of tea.
I suppressed the thoughts in my heart, picked up the teacup, opened the lid and took a look. The tea leaves inside were emerald green. The color had not been affected by steeping for a while. I took a sip and decided to take another look later.
“This is this year’s spring tea.”
Wang Zhuangtou nodded and said, "Yes, it is the first crop of tea this year, which is kept for the host family to entertain guests on weekdays."
He didn't expect the girl to know what he was drinking. Thinking of this, his eyebrows moved and he remembered what Lao Zhang had just said to him.
He was not the kind of person who acted aimlessly, so he suppressed the thoughts in his mind for the time being.
