On the first day of land reclamation, the workers were still unfamiliar with the area and some didn't know how to start. Lin Jiuyue stayed with the villagers and guided them step by step.
By the next day, the villagers had a general idea of what everyone should do.
Seeing the workers busy with their work in an orderly manner, Lin Jiuyue nodded with satisfaction.
"Village chief, I think these villagers are all good. I won't come tomorrow."
The village chief frowned.
On the second day of the land reclamation, this girl actually wanted to be a hands-off boss?
"September, how can we not come? They haven't even started yet."
Lin Jiuyue smiled and waved her hand.
"I think it's fine. Besides, aren't you, the village chief, watching over us?"
The village chief was in charge of the work, and Lin Jiuyue had to pay him wages. Although the village chief's wages were the same as those of a laborer, he had more freedom during the day and didn't have to do any work himself; he only had to keep an eye on things. If the village had other matters to deal with, he could also handle them.
For the village chief, this was simply Lin Jiuyue taking care of himself.
"Are you busy with something else?"
Lin Jiuyue nodded.
"Yes, this wasteland is about to be reclaimed. I haven't prepared the seeds yet, so I thought I'd buy them first. I'll plant them when the land is reclaimed."
The village chief frowned.
This is the first time I've seen someone cultivate crops right after clearing wasteland. This girl is really not afraid of losing money.
"Okay, then you go and do it. Leave the things here to me. I'll try not to worry you."
After thinking about it, the village chief nervously took on the responsibility.
When Lin Jiuyue heard what the village chief said, she felt that she had not found the wrong person.
"Then I'll trouble you, village chief."
After leaving Shangbei Village, Lin Jiuyue went to the capital under the pretext of looking for seeds.
Ostensibly, he was going to the capital to find suitable seeds, but in reality, he was going to process the food and medicinal herbs that had accumulated in the space. Of course, he also wanted to visit his younger brother, Lin Qiye.
After arriving in the capital, Lin Jiuyue first went to the general's mansion. The servants of the general's mansion told Lin Jiuyue that Lin Qiye had gone out with Gu Chengyan.
Lin Jiuyue, who didn't find anyone, didn't delay for a moment and immediately went to deal with the things in the space.
After finishing the work, Lin Jiuyue strolled around the capital with Bubble in her arms. It wasn't until dark that she headed back to the General's Mansion.
After asking the servants guarding the door, Lin Jiuyue learned that Lin Qiye and Gu Chengyan had not returned yet. She frowned and was about to leave when Madam Gu rushed out of the yard.
"September, September."
"Why did Madam Gu come out?"
Mrs. Gu stepped forward, took Lin Jiuyue's hand and went to the mansion.
"You little girl, I heard from the servants this morning that you came and left. I thought you must be here to look for Qiye. I specifically instructed the servants to come in and inform you when you come again."
"You little girl, you've already arrived at the mansion, but you don't even come in to sit down. If I hadn't told the servants to, you would have left again!"
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
"Madam, I came to the capital for something, and I stopped by to see Qiye. I heard that Qiye and Gu Chengyan went out. Madam Gu, do you know where they went? What did they do?"
When Mrs. Gu heard Lin Jiuyue's words, she did not answer directly, but changed the subject.
"Jiuyue, what brought you to the capital? Have you finished your business?"
Lin Jiuyue nodded, her eyes fixed on Madam Gu, waiting for her to answer her previous question. But Madam Gu seemed to have forgotten about it.
"It's getting so late now, it's not very convenient to go back. Since you've already finished your business, why don't you stay in the mansion and have some fun for a few days before going back."
Lin Jiuyue smiled at Mrs. Gu.
"Madam, I'm fine. I'm used to traveling at night when I was fleeing famine before. This distance is nothing. Besides, we are under the feet of the emperor. It's safe."
"By the way, Madam Gu, when will Qiye be back?"
Seeing that Mrs. Gu deliberately avoided the question she had asked before, Lin Jiuyue asked again.
Mrs. Gu hesitated, as if she had something to hide, which made Lin Jiuyue very worried.
"Ma'am, has something happened to Qiye?"
Mrs. Gu shook her head.
"Nothing happened, it's just that I can't come back for a while."
Lin Jiuyue: ...
They won't be back for a while? What does that mean? Where did they go?
Seeing Lin Jiuyue's worried look, Mrs. Gu showed a hint of embarrassment on her face.
"Hey, Jiuyue, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but Qiye, that kid, told me not to tell you before he left. I've already promised him, so..."
Lin Jiuyue frowned.
My younger brother is now successful, why would he want to hide something from me? Doesn't he know that this will only make me more worried?
"Haha, Madam Gu, Qiye doesn't allow you to tell him what he did, so can you tell me what Gu Chengyan did?"
Mrs. Gu blinked when she heard Lin Jiuyue's words.
Yes, I promised Qiye not to tell Jiuyue where he was going or what he was doing, but I didn’t promise not to tell her what my son was doing!
"Oh, my boy is also a person who can't sit still. After staying at home for two days, he went to the military camp with his father. He said that he wanted to go to the military camp to gain some experience."
After hearing this, Lin Jiuyue's teeth chattered.
Lin Qiye is really promising! He actually dared to go to the military camp with Gu Chengyan without telling me.
What was he planning to do? Could it be that he wanted to follow Gu Chengyan into battle and kill the enemy?
Doesn't he know how dangerous the battlefield is?
"Mrs. Gu, did Gu Chengyan say when he would be back?"
Mrs. Gu shook her head.
"That's not what he said, but his father comes back every day. You can ask him when the time comes. By the way, his father will probably be back soon. How about you come in and wait?"
Ever since she met Lin Jiuyue, Mrs. Gu has been holding Lin Jiuyue's hand and has never let go.
Lin Jiuyue looked at the sky. It was already completely dark outside. It was still unknown when Gu Chengyan's father, General Zhenyuan, would return home. Lin Jiuyue felt a little conflicted.
"Jiuyue, the city gates are probably closed now. Even if you want to leave, you can't get out of the city gates. Don't you have to find an inn to stay in the end?"
"Listen to me, stay at our house today. When his father comes back, you can ask about the situation. It will be the same if you go back then, right?"
Lin Jiuyue thought about it.
The city gates were indeed closed at this moment, and I had already finished my business. I might as well stay here and wait and see what the situation was with Qiye. If I didn't understand clearly, I would really be a little worried.
