Ye Yifeng is an admirer of Liu Yunyan and comes from a family of mathematicians.
Jiang Shuwan had been eyeing him for a long time, and now that she finally saw him at the Marquis's residence, her eyes were glued to him.
It's no exaggeration to say that it's stickier than 520.
Staring at Ye Yifeng, Jiang Shuwan's heart pounded wildly.
Ye Yifeng is the future first mathematician of the Great Jing Dynasty. In his previous life, Pei Yanzhi also took him with him when repairing the river.
It can be said that Pei Yanzhi, an outsider, was able to repair the river. Besides his own shrewdness, competence, and ruthless methods, Ye Yifeng also made a great contribution.
God.
It's not that she hasn't seen "good stuff" before.
The main problem was that she had to do a lot of calculations when revising the various design drawings for the sugar workshop and sugar production line. She was so dizzy from all the calculations that she felt like throwing up at the sight of numbers.
If Ye Yifeng had helped her, she wouldn't have had to work so hard.
Unfortunately, he's an official with a bright future; how could he possibly follow her?
Jiang Shuwan stared at Ye Yifeng with a resentful look in her eyes.
Ye Yifeng =_=: "..."
Ye Yifeng was a handsome young man, and many girls in the capital admired him, but no one looked at him with such blatant eyes, as if he were a big piece of fat meat, which was frightening.
"What is the county princess doing? I haven't offended her, have I?"
Quietly, Ye Yifeng moved closer to Yao Zhijie without making a sound.
Yao Zhijie didn't bother with him at all; he was saying goodbye to Pei Shushu.
Yao Zhijie had no idea that Pei Yanzhi was in charge of repairing the river; he only knew that he and Pei Yanzhi had been ousted from the capital by the imperial court.
Who knows when the river will be finished, or if she'll ever come back alive? The entire court hates the Pei family to the core. Even though they are imperial relatives, they might not be able to protect Pei Shushu.
He then sent Pei Shushu to live in the Marquis's residence for a while. No matter what, with Jiang Shuwan there, she could always protect Pei Shushu.
Now, the couple is reluctantly parting ways, and they can't tolerate Ye Yifeng, this clueless third wheel.
"Get out of my way!"
Yao Zhijie pushed Ye Yifeng away.
Ye Yifeng was a delicate and handsome young man who knew no martial arts. He was pushed so hard that he almost fell to the ground, but luckily Jiang Shuwan caught him in time.
Ye Yifeng: "..."
He froze, staring at Jiang Shuwan gripping his wrist. He tried to pull away, but couldn't.
Completely unaware of her rudeness, Jiang Shuwan gripped his hand tightly and said with utmost solemnity and seriousness, "Lord Ye is currently working in the Ministry of Works? The Ministry of Works will certainly be needed to repair the river. Lord Ye is also good at mathematics, so he should naturally go along. However, the wind and rain are strong by the river, so Lord Ye should stay far away, otherwise a wave could sweep him away."
As she spoke, Jiang Shuwan tightened her grip, and her eyes deepened with emotion. "Lord Ye is still so young, you must take care of your health. Da Jing cannot do without you!"
Her words were so sincere that they sent a chill down Ye Yifeng's spine.
Ye Yifeng: "..."
Staring blankly at Jiang Shuwan, Ye Yifeng looked at her with a hint of fear.
Is she threatening me?
But I've offended her too!
Why do you curse me when we have no past grievances or recent enmity?
"There are guards." The man's deep and cold voice rang out.
While he was stunned, several rolls of blueprints suddenly appeared in his hand. Ye Yifeng looked at Pei Yanzhi, who had suddenly appeared, with great gratitude. He broke free from Jiang Shuwan's hand and ran outside with the blueprints in his hand like a rabbit.
The county princess is terrifying!
He never wants to come to the Marquis's mansion again! Aaaaaaahh ...
Pei Yanzhi's gaze lingered on Jiang Shuwan's delicate face, and he said slowly and deliberately, "There are guards, so there's nothing to worry about."
His voice was softer than when he spoke.
Jiang Shuwan: "..."
Jiang Shuwan ran straight to the door and shouted at Ye Yifeng's retreating figure:
"Lord Ye, please take good care of yourself! The Great Jing Dynasty truly cannot do without you!"
Ye Yifeng: "..."
Pei Yanzhi: "..."
Yao Zhijie: "..."
A room full of maids and old women: "..."
After seeing Pei Yanzhi off, a group of maids and servants secretly gossiped in a corner where no one could see them.
"Why is the county princess so concerned about Lord Ye?"
"Lord Ye has such delicate skin and tender flesh, could it be that the county princess has taken a fancy to him?"
"Does the county magistrate intend to keep male concubines like other princesses and noblewomen? What will happen to our heir then?"
"Lord Ye is lively and adorable; he's instantly likable..."
*******
Repairing the river was an extremely urgent matter, and everything was quickly arranged. Jiang Shuwan saw Pei Yanzhi and the others to the door.
Various carriages and warhorses were already waiting at the gate, especially the warhorses, which were specially transferred and were very suitable for long-distance raids.
The servants busied themselves pushing various documents onto the carriage. Jiang Shuwan glanced at them without changing her expression, but her heart was churning with turmoil.
When she was moving these documents down from the library, she casually flipped through a few of them, which were all maps of various river construction projects.
It's not unusual for Pei Yanzhi to have river design plans; after all, although he was a Jinshi graduate, there was no law prohibiting Jinshi graduates from being interested in river construction.
Moreover, Pei Yanzhi is known for being an all-rounder, capable of discussing anything.
However, it's too coincidental that he suddenly produced so many river design drawings at this time.
"Miss."
Just then, Qingxing came over and whispered in Jiang Shuwan's ear, "Miss, General Gu is back. They've all taken care of what you asked them to do. However, there was a group of people doing the same thing as us on the way. The leader of that group seems to be Yin Quan, who serves the young master..."
As she spoke, Qingxing glanced at the servants who were carrying the load.
Yin Quan hasn't been in the manor for a long time. She had asked Xiao Wu before, and Xiao Wu said he had gone home to visit his family. She never expected that his "visit" would be like this.
"Drawing water?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuwan frowned instantly.
She had previously bought a large amount of grain from merchants in the south, half of which was transported to the north, and the rest to the banks of the Yellow River, which was suffering from floods.
She vaguely remembered that the flood happened in the middle of the night. Many people were swept away by the flood while they were still asleep. The death toll was the highest in a century.
Since the rice on both sides of the river is not yet ripe, she instructed General Gu to disguise himself as a merchant caravan and go to the area under the guise of selling grain. Then, he tried to get closer to the local people by signing grain sales agreements.
After doing all this work, she used the pretense of bringing traditional opera to the countryside to invite people to listen to plays, and tricked them into leaving her residence.
After all, they are very busy managing the rice fields during the day, so they can only watch operas at night.
When the floodwaters collapsed, everyone gathered together to listen to a play. They lost their rice paddies and their possessions, but at least they survived.
Jiang Shuwan kept this very secret, after all, no one would believe her if she told them about the flood, and she might even be in danger of losing her life.
