Chapter 451: Arrangement
Lu Jing was full of doubts.
Isn't the Regent a very jealous person?
Could it be that she had been misjudging this whole time?
In fact, no one knows what the Regent is going through inside his calm appearance.
: Jiang Mingyuan is really scheming by picking the most important and interesting topic for Gu Xixi to attract her attention!
: What? Xixi and Jiang Mingyuan smiled at each other again? !
: I don’t hear anything funny!
: Just because they are distant cousins, do you, Jiang Mingyuan, need to show that you care about Gu Xixi in everything you do?
: Gu Xixi actually admired such a trivial skill? She even said that she would listen to Jiang Mingyuan from now on?!
:……
: Never mind, it’s all for Gu Xi’s pleasure, and the final benefit will also be for their own family.
: That’s right, there is no need for family members to bother with Jiang Mingyuan, an outsider.
If the regent king were to be jealous of the ladies in the harem, Mu Nanzhao would never care about the so-called face. After all, his face was given by himself.
He has never created a gentleman's persona.
only……
The only concern: There was nothing wrong with what Jiang Mingyuan did. If he embarrassed Jiang Mingyuan here, Gu Xixi would definitely be angry!
The Lord Regent took a deep breath to relieve the feeling of suffocation.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Mingyuan took Gu Xixi to inspect various parts of the tea garden construction site.
The two of them talked as they walked, both very serious.
Mu Nanzhao naturally refused to stand in the same row with Lu Jing and Shitou, and followed behind obediently.
He walked forward and followed Gu Xixi to the right, step by step.
Maybe the psychological preparations I had done before took effect.
It may also be that my mood naturally improved because I was walking next to Gu Xixi.
As Mu Nanzhao walked, he really felt calm and relaxed.
Take your time, don't be anxious or impatient.
Even in the occasional conversations between Jiang Mingyuan and Gu Xixi, he had no interest in participating in the communication.
Wait until the patrol is over.
Let everyone present know the real boss of the tea garden.
The first day’s wages were officially paid out.
Return to the original place.
Gu Xixi said with satisfaction, "It seems that everything is going well at the moment. I am relieved that the people appointed by the county government are supervising the work."
“I don’t think there’s anything that needs to change.”
Jiang Mingyuan said, "That's good."
"The rest of the burden will fall on you."
He stared into Gu Xixi's eyes and lowered his voice, "Are you having any trouble with funding?"
Gu Xixi smiled, "Just now, Brother Zichu asked me not to worry about you."
"How come you forgot it all of a sudden?"
Jiang Mingyuan was stunned, but he quickly reacted and smiled helplessly.
"Okay, you believe me, and I believe you."
"Let's just do our own thing in our respective areas."
No matter what the Qingtian County Yamen looked like in the past.
From the first day Jiang Mingyuan took over the post of county magistrate, he had already realized something in his heart.
It is his duty to get to the bottom of things.
If he can't do it, it's his own incompetence.
The same principle applies to Gu Xixi.
Lu Jing and Shitou, a trainee and a curious baby, stared with their eyes wide open and their ears pricked up the whole time.
No matter how much I can understand, I don’t want to miss a single word.
It was not until they heard Gu Xixi say "let's get ready to go home" that the two men were sure that their trip's goal had been accomplished.
The stone immediately turned back into a wild horse.
"Sister Xixi, can I go to the highest slope again and take a look?"
The tea garden is located over a large area, and one can overlook the entire view from the highest slope.
Although tea trees have not been planted yet, looking around, I can imagine that this vast area will be entirely a tea garden in the future.
Even stones can't help but feel excited.
Gu Xixi agreed to Shitou's request, "Okay, go and have a look. Be careful when you walk, and don't rush."
"Let's go down and prepare the car, drink some water and wait for you."
Stone cheered and ran away.
Lu Jing wiped the sweat off his face and sighed, "The energy of children is really incomparable to that of ordinary people."
Gu Xixi couldn't help but laugh, "You are only a few years older than Shitou, why do you act like an old lady?"
Lu Jing said earnestly, "Don't underestimate these few years."
"As the saying goes, even dogs hate children of seven or eight years old. If a child of this age plays with a dog, even the dog will find it tiring!"
Jiang Mingyuan smiled and said, "It's hot today. We've been walking for almost the whole morning, so we should be tired."
Several people walked outside, chatting and laughing.
Just as Mu Nanzhao had secretly sized up Jiang Mingyuan before.
At this moment, Jiang Mingyuan glanced at Mu Nanzhao, also full of doubts.
When the Regent first arrived, there was a hint of irony in the way he spoke.
Why did you stop talking later?
Moreover, not only did the Regent not say a word during the entire process, his expression also seemed to be... peaceful from the inside out?
Something is wrong!
With the Regent's strategic intelligence, he must have another plan!
The flatbed truck was parked under the shade of a tree.
When parking the car in the morning, Lu Jing estimated that the journey would take a long time, so she wanted to let Lai Fu relax a little.
He took the noose off the car, found a shady spot under a tree with lush green grass, and tied Lai Fu under the tree to let him rest.
So Lu Jing went first to get the mule, leaving Gu Xixi, Mu Nanzhao and Jiang Mingyuan behind.
Gu Xixi didn't feel uncomfortable at all. She sat down on the car floor tiredly, turned around and picked up the water jar.
"I got up early and served some boiled water. Would you two like to have some too?"
It is inconvenient to bring a bowl when traveling, so it is obvious that the two girls and a child drank directly from this jar.
How could the men have the nerve to take it seriously?
Jiang Mingyuan said politely, "Thank you, I got up early and went out to drink tea, so I'm not thirsty yet."
Mu Nanzhao said calmly, "You drink it, I'll drink it when we get back home."
He seemed to put special emphasis on the three words "our family".
Then he handed over an envelope.
Gu Xixi took it as usual and asked, "What is this?"
Mu Nanzhao said, "He Jinglan asked me to bring it to you. I told you to know it once you see it."
The envelope felt thin and I couldn't tell what was inside. There was no paint seal on the opening.
Gu Xixi lowered her head and opened it. Knowing her good sister, she carefully pulled out only a little bit of the paper inside.
As soon as she saw the pattern on the back of the paper, she was startled and immediately pushed it back into the envelope.
Jiang Mingyuan saw it at a glance.
That was the unique anti-counterfeiting pattern on the gold notes in circulation during the Daye Dynasty, and it was a large-denomination gold note.
Gu Xixi put the envelope into her messenger bag, then looked up at Mu Nanzhao, "Did Jinglan ask you to give it to me?"
"Why didn't she mention it in her letter?"
The latest letter arrived just three days ago.
Logically speaking, He Jinglan had plenty of time to announce this matter in advance.
Mu Nanzhao said, "How do I know what she is thinking?"
"Don't worry, there's no money of mine in here."
"All of these were given by your best sister. I brought the things here. How you use them is your business."
Jiang Mingyuan watched from the side, a smile flashing in his eyes.
No wonder the Regent was so calm today.
He actually brought such a valuable gift.
However, this will help alleviate the financial difficulties and will definitely relieve a lot of pressure for Gu Xixi.
Timely rain, good thing.
Halfway home, the sunny sky turned cloudy.
Lu Jing was driving the car in front without looking back, nor did he talk to Gu Xixi non-stop like he did when he came.
Shitou was so tired that he fell asleep as soon as he got in the car.
Only Gu Xixi and Mu Nanzhao were left sober and facing each other.
