Chapter 192 The Life of the Scholar's Daughter (20)



"Miss, the food is ready. Please eat first."

Tang Baozhu rubbed her stomach; she was indeed a little hungry. She had been traumatized by the wontons she ate in the county town last time and never dared to eat out again.

After dinner, Tang Baozhu began packing things she would need to take to the estate.

Bringing some frequently used items and a few sets of clothes is enough; if not, you can use what you have in your inventory.

Tang Baozhu didn't take out the embroidery she received today. She planned to rest for a few days first, as she didn't want to exhaust herself like that.

If it weren't for waiting for those five puppets, she would have gone into the space long ago. By the time there was no movement outside, Chunxue and Qingliu had already gone inside to sleep.

He sensed that the five puppets were getting closer and closer, and figured they should be nearing his home soon.

They opened the window to welcome them, and once they entered the room, they were instantly transported into the space.

Upon arriving at the cabin, they were asked to bring out everything they had collected. Instantly, the cabin was filled with a huge pile of medicinal herbs. There were simply too many herbs to fit inside the cabin, so the rest were placed outside.

It looks like I've robbed someone's pharmacy, especially since these medicinal herbs are so old. I can finally make all the pills I want to make.

After taking the five puppets out of the space and watching them go out through the window, I immediately closed the window and then went back into the space.

Looking at the piles of medicinal herbs inside and outside the cabin, I don't know how long it would take to clean it all by myself, so I quickly called all the robots over to help.

They are incredibly skilled at this kind of work; the robotic arms are exceptionally fast and the sorting is superb, placing identical items in the same location.

It took about two hours to sort all these things out. I'll put them all in the warehouse for now, and take them out little by little when I need them.

Those five puppets are incredibly useful, and their cultivation levels are so high that they can do whatever they want in this world. There's absolutely no need to worry about their safety.

It was getting late, so I took a bath in the space, then left and went to bed.

Li Jun arrived in an oxcart around eight o'clock in the morning. He said he was too early and was worried that Baozhu was still asleep.

Anyway, it's very close to the village, and it only takes two hours by oxcart, so there's no need to worry about wasting time.

Tang Baozhu had already eaten, and after walking around in the courtyard for a while, she got on the oxcart as soon as it arrived, carrying her things.

This time, Chunxue and Qingliu went with them, locking all the doors to the courtyard and bedroom, and taking all the valuables with them.

When they reached the center of the village, they suddenly saw the pretty boy Li Fugui. The person next to him looked like the one he had been flirting with in his past life.

The two of them essentially conspired to kill the young girl. After they got married, they dealt with her entire family.

Lower the windshield curtain above the small window inside the carport; out of sight, out of mind. Anyone who can get along with someone like Li Fugui, who was already hugging and cuddling before marriage, can't be a good person.

That way, you won't have any psychological burden when you seek revenge.

After the oxcart left the village, it headed in another direction from the county town. At first, you could still see many villages, but the further you went, the farther apart the villages became, and the population seemed to be getting sparser.

The oxcart traveled for almost two hours before finally stopping in front of a village.

It seemed there were people guarding the village; as soon as they saw the oxcart approaching, the gate opened quickly from the inside.

I lifted the curtain on the side and looked around the estate. Overall, it was well-maintained and orderly, without feeling cluttered.

The oxcart stopped directly at the house inside the village. In front of the house stood two elderly people, a man and a woman, who looked to be in their fifties or sixties. They were probably the head of the village.

They looked very nervous. As soon as Li Jun got off the oxcart, they rushed to greet him.

"Greetings, host. The rooms inside have been thoroughly cleaned. You may move in now."

He spoke haltingly, but fortunately no one minded, knowing he was nervous. Li Jun, in particular, knew that the village head he had found was a very honest person.

He dismissed them directly and then turned to Baozhu to explain.

“Sister Baozhu, this village head took the surname of his master, but now he takes my surname, Li. You can just call him Village Head Li. Next to him is his wife, and below him are three sons and two daughters. The whole family are considered tenants of this village. There are other tenants in the village as well, and there are dozens of people in total.”

"Do you have all these people's indentures?"

Tang Baozhu didn't remember whether the tenants who guarded the estates in ancient times had indentures. If they didn't have indentures and only had a contract, it would be very difficult to manage them.

Li Jun immediately understood what Baozhu meant. There were plenty of those who were too powerful and bullied their masters, concealing the profits from the estate to line their own pockets. There were far too many of them.

“Don’t worry, Baozhu. Only the Li family has indentures. The other tenants don’t have indentures, but the Li family is watching over them, so there’s no need to worry about any problems.”

Tang Baozhu nodded without saying anything; Li Jun knew what was going on.

Besides, he was the one managing my 120 acres of land, and he was much more experienced than me. I shouldn't try to teach him a lesson.

Fortunately, his 120 mu of land was just paddy fields, so he could just rent it out and collect the rent when the autumn harvest came, without much trouble.

Looking around the two-courtyard house, I could only say it was so-so. In a small rural town, it's not bad to have a house like this.

"Baozhu, why don't you go and rest for a while? You must be tired after traveling by oxcart for several hours. After resting for a while, you can get up and have lunch. After lunch, we can decide whether you want to rest or take a walk around the estate. It's up to you."

Tang Baozhu's wood-type superpower, after reaching level ten, was constantly in operation, so she wasn't very tired.

However, seeing that Chunxue and Qingliu seemed listless, he agreed.

"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Li, to arrange rooms for us."

“That’s only right, Sister Baozhu, come with me.”

Li Jun led Tang Baozhu directly to the main house, which was better than the other rooms. He could stay in any room he wanted, but he couldn't let his little sister Baozhu suffer.
