After speaking everything in one breath without pausing, Zhiyin felt her throat was dry. Seeing that the three of them, especially Elder Huang and Jun Yexue, were already deep in thought, she smiled slightly and did not disturb them, but let them digest everything in silence.
Then, he took a bowl and scooped out a large bowl of clear spring water to drink.
"Cool!!!"
The moment the spring water entered her mouth, she couldn't help but let out a comfortable and pleasant sigh.
One has to admire how the spring water in ancient times was not only free of impurities, but also had a sweet taste.
It is incomparable to modern water sources.
Zhiyin lay lazily on the bamboo chair, looking at the bright moon and the surrounding village, half-lit and half-dark, with its picturesque mountains and clear waters, feeling an unprecedented sense of comfort and tranquility.
She watched the children frolicking and playing in the fields, and the old men and villagers carrying hoes as they walked home under the moonlight.
It was truly a unique experience! Even without a TV, a mobile phone, or many other entertainment options, it was still wonderful!
"Yinyin, I'll go back and plan the land, gather all the villagers, and get everyone to start taking action based on the weather conditions."
The village headman only understood a little bit, so he was the first to come to his senses. After speaking, he hurriedly ran away.
Halfway there, he glanced at Elder Huang and Jun Yexue, then felt it was impolite and quickly said goodbye to Jun Yexue respectfully.
Then he looked at Zhiyin and solemnly instructed, "By the way, Yinyin, please take good care of these two distinguished guests. If there is anything you need my help with, please let me know."
"good!"
Zhiyin snapped out of her reverie at the beautiful scenery, stood up, and smiled as she said goodbye to the village head, "Uncle Village Head, feel free to ask me anything you don't understand!"
Of course, Zhiyin was just speaking casually, after all, she had never farmed and only had theoretical knowledge.
Never underestimate the wisdom of the working people. The villagers have made a living by farming for generations, so they certainly know much more than she does. She only provided an idea; the rest depends on the villagers.
Jun Yexue also came to her senses, and she felt greatly benefited and shocked by her confidante's thoughts.
At the same time, I can't help but wonder how a country girl like Zhiyin knew all this?
Seemingly noticing her confusion, Zhiyin simply smiled, scratched her head casually, and chuckled as she explained, "Actually, I found this by chance in a strange book."
Seeing that Jun Yexue was about to ask more questions, she quickly shook her head regretfully before she could speak, adding, "Unfortunately, I don't know where this book went either..."
Jun Yexue was momentarily disappointed upon hearing this, but quickly recovered and looked at Zhiyin hopefully, adding, "Miss Yinyin, if you think of any other good methods that would benefit the country and its people, please be sure to tell me!"
As she spoke, she quickly gestured to her maid to help her copy something written by Zhiyin.
"Okay, okay!"
Zhiyin readily agreed with a smile, as she naturally wanted to use her knowledge of modern times to help the ancient people.
But I can't think of too many right now; I'll just have to wait and see when the opportunity arises.
And to be honest, the agricultural development in this world is actually quite good. There are efficient seed drills, irrigation carts, and threshing and harvesting tools like flail.
However, there is only one seed drill in a village, which is kept at the village chief's house. During the planting season, everyone takes turns to use it.
"Well then, Miss Yinyin, I'll be going now. Please take good care of Old Master Huang!"
As Jun Yexue spoke, seeing that Elder Huang seemed to still be deep in thought, she immediately pulled Zhiyin aside and whispered in her ear, "Miss Yinyin, Elder Huang is no ordinary person. You must not neglect him."
Seeing Jun Yexue's nervousness and seriousness, Zhiyin truly suspected that she had found a powerful figure for her family.
But she quickly smiled and said, "It's alright, I understand the importance of respecting the elderly and caring for the young."
Regardless of his status, she would show him the proper etiquette as a confidante, but she probably couldn't be completely respectful or make him the center of her world.
Jun Yexue knew that what she had done was immoral, but she was also helpless. Who told Dafo to take a fancy to her and want to live in her house?
She could only helplessly shrug and give her confidante an apologetic look.
Then, looking at Elder Huang with concern, he bowed slightly and asked respectfully, "Elder Huang, should I send a few guards to protect you?"
"Otherwise, I'm still a little worried!"
She felt a mix of emotions and was very uneasy, because if these two powerful figures encountered danger within her jurisdiction, her term as county magistrate would be over.
It's estimated that it's not just the county magistrate who might be affected; the emperor's wrath could lead to the deaths of millions!
Old Huang saw her concerns but didn't take them to heart at all. He stroked his beard and laughed heartily, reassuring her nonchalantly, "It's alright, we're not important people, what danger could we possibly face?"
Upon hearing this, Jun Yexue's lips twitched slightly. If this isn't a big shot, then who is?
But after hearing what he said, Jun Yexue was really at a loss.
Seemingly sensing Jun Yexue's genuine concern, Elder Huang patted Ziyou beside him and jokingly said, "Ziyou is a top-tier expert. If even he can't protect me, then the people you sent are just throwing their lives away."
Upon hearing this, Jun Yexue glanced at the cold-faced Ziyou, meeting his murderous gaze, and finally shut up, realizing that she had indeed overthought things. She could only walk away, looking back every few steps.
"Little girl, hahaha, don't mind what Xiaojun said. If you don't mind, just call me Grandpa like Huahua's good grandson does!"
"I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you these days!"
Old Huang patted Zhiyin on the shoulder, indicating that she should just treat herself as an ordinary person.
After saying that, he winked at Ziyou, who immediately handed Zhiyin a silver note with both hands.
However, Zhiyin simply smiled and firmly pushed the silver note back. Under Old Huang's puzzled gaze, she looked at him with a beaming smile and called out, "Hello, Grandpa!"
"Oh, my dear granddaughter!"
Hearing her sweet voice and seeing that she showed no flattery, obsequiousness, or fear, Old Huang couldn't help but feel pleased and happily replied.
"Since I call you Grandpa, how can I accept money when I live in your home?"
Zhiyin added with a sweet smile.
No matter who this person is, it's always good to be a little sweet-talking!
Flattery will get you everywhere!
Who knows, it might bring her an unexpected surprise in the future!
"Haha, good, my dear granddaughter is right! Then Grandpa won't stand on ceremony with my dear granddaughter."
Seeing Ziyou's quirky and clever nature, Old Huang couldn't help but feel fond of him. Without any hesitation, he laughed heartily and told Ziyou to put the money away.
At the same time, he felt a higher regard for his soulmate and gained a deeper understanding of her.
A gentleman loves wealth, but he acquires it in a proper way! That perfectly describes her!
Although he came from a farming family, he was very good at dealing with people and situations!
She acts with grace and poise, making it hard not to like her.
