Chapter 202 "I'll listen to Xiaoyu."...
"Yes." Song Linsheng smiled and nodded, then slowly replied, "It's late June now, a good time to plant late rice."
"The weather is nice today, so the fields must be busy."
Wen Yu listened very carefully, nodding frequently as he listened.
"Then go check out the farmland!"
She is not interested in the shops and houses nearby. If she goes to the fields, she can look at the rice and catch some herring. This is the real way to get some fresh air!
Although it is summer now and the season is not under the jurisdiction of her master, Ju Mangjun, it would be good for her to look around and accumulate some merit.
Hearing this, Song Linsheng agreed without hesitation, "Okay, I'll listen to Xiaoyu."
Xiyan, who was standing next to him, took out a few books from the pile of account books with great tact, and after quickly scanning them, he held one of the pages in front of Wen Yu.
"Madam Wen, why don't we go here?" Xi Yan pointed to one of the spots. "This place has both the government's farmland and is on the banks of the Yuan River. It's very close to where the government office is building the dam. We can go and take a look when we have time."
"Okay." Wen Yu nodded seriously. "Let's go see how Lord Song is doing with his official duties, which have been so busy for over a month."
As she said this, Wen Yu's playful eyes moved back and forth across Song Linsheng's face. Even when they met her eyes, she did not show any sign of restraint.
Song Linsheng pursed his lips and chuckled. Far from being annoyed, he seemed to be enjoying it very much.
"Then I'll just let Xiaoyu inspect me. I hope you're satisfied."
As he spoke, Song Linsheng looked gentle and responsible, but he couldn't help but curl up his lips slightly.
Wen Yu was stunned at first when he saw this, and then he quickly took half a step back in panic.
Song Linsheng's appearance really made her imagine that the smooth-haired puppy turned into a squinting fox!
"Ahem." Wen Yu raised her sleeve to brush across her nose, hastily concealing her inner thoughts. "Then let's go, let's go."
After saying this, Wen Yu turned around and was about to leave, but as she took a step, she caught a glimpse of Yu Chang who was still sitting in the corridor.
He held the book in his palm, between the tips of his two fingers, looking very relaxed, comfortable and elegant.
Wen Yu turned her eyes away and stopped looking, intending to walk straight past Yu Chang.
Who allowed him to pry into her mind every day and bully her all the time?
But my feet felt like they were filled with lead and weighed a thousand pounds.
Leaving him home alone doesn't seem...good.
He doesn't like being alone.
Wen Yu hesitated for a moment, but finally stomped her feet cruelly.
"By the way, Yingying." Wen Yu waved and greeted Yu Chang, "We're going out for a walk, do you want to come with us?"
Yu Chang, who had been standing by as if nothing had happened, had his eyelashes trembling when he heard this, and even the fingertips holding the scroll curled up involuntarily.
He suddenly felt a little relieved that the book served as a cover, barely hiding the fluctuations in his eyes.
Yu Chang closed the book and put it aside, then looked up at Wen Yu.
She stood with Song Linsheng and Xiyan. Beside them was the swing that was said to have been built by Song Linsheng himself. The camphor tree above was lush and leafy, growing in perfect condition. Sparse golden light passed through the leaves, casting spots of light at Wen Yu's feet.
It looks... very harmonious, as peaceful, beautiful and full of hope as a painting.
It is a world of difference from the dark and damp Yuanshui River.
Yu Chang's palms, hidden in his sleeves, curled up and slowly clenched into fists, as if he wanted to hold something.
But his palm was clearly empty, and he was not holding anything at all.
He has always been like this. Yu Chang remained silent. He could never get what he wanted.
Wen Yu and a few others were standing in the courtyard, not far from him who was in the corridor. The space in between was flat and open, with no obstacles at all.
But he suddenly felt that he and Wen Yu were so far apart that even Wen Yu's face was almost blurred and unclear.
"Xingxing!" Wen Yu shouted again at the top of his voice, with some doubt gradually appearing in his eyes.
What is Yu Chang doing in a daze?
Yu Chang suddenly realized something. Wen Yu's voice came through the corridor and the courtyard, like a ray of light shining directly into the bottom of the Yuanshui River.
"Since my younger sister is going out," Yu Chang said without changing his expression. He immediately stood up and said, "Sister, of course, must go with you."
Yu Chang stepped forward and walked towards the light.
It's funny to say that just a moment ago, he repeatedly emphasized that Wen Yu should not call him cousin casually.
But now, he has to rely on his sister's identity to feel at ease to travel with her.
Wen Yu nodded, and a playful look passed through Yu Chang's eyes, but she secretly held back her laughter.
Didn’t you forbid her to call you cousin?
"Ahem, then hurry up!" Wen Yu urged, raising his chin.
Seeing Yu Chang's figure getting closer and closer, Song Linsheng lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the emotions in his eyes.
Sister?
Song Linsheng's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was moved.
Since returning from Lord Mu's residence last time, Miss Yingying has become quite accustomed to playing the role of the elder sister.
He knew that Wen Xing's name and her identity as her elder cousin were just excuses Xiaoyu made up to evade Lord Mu out of desperation.
only……
Song Linsheng raised his eyes and looked directly at Yu Chang who was slowly walking towards him.
But Miss Xingxing adapted very well.
During these days, Miss Yingying continued to live with Xiaoyu in Guanwu Courtyard, saying she did not want to live alone. However, she moved out of the main house and moved into a wing room on the left.
Every night when he returned home to see Xiaoyu, he would occasionally run into Miss Yingying sitting alone under the porch, looking as worried as she was today, and no one knew what she was thinking about.
However, although the two of them had met, they had never spoken a word to each other.
He knew that Miss Yingying came from a prominent family. Would he also have times when he was worried?
In the blink of an eye, Yu Chang had already arrived in front of Wen Yu, and Song Linsheng immediately put his thoughts aside and stopped thinking about it.
"Alright, alright!" Xi Yan's eyes turned as he hurriedly put away the remaining account books. "All done! Let's get going!"
The courtyard was filled with golden light, like a clear spring. The people, led by Wen Yu, left Guanwu Courtyard one after another like swimming fish...
Outside Jiangyang Prefecture, the Yuanshui River.
Xiyan drove the carriage smoothly through the city gate, and the wheels stopped only when they rolled over the bluestone slabs and reached the wetlands on the banks of the Yuanshui River.
Going forward along the Yuanshui River, the lower reaches are crisscrossed with paddy fields, which are square like pieces of tourmaline hidden in the vast land.
Now that the carriage could no longer move forward, Xiyan asked everyone to get off and walk.
Wen Yu raised her sleeves and lifted the curtain first, then jumped out of the car in three or two steps.
In the distance are mountains half-hidden in clouds, in front is the slowly flowing Yuan River, and the fields in between are wide and boundless, with flat fields and busy people all around.
The prosperity of Jiangyang Prefecture is not only due to its natural geographical advantages, but also closely related to the hard work of the people of Jiangyang.
"ah--"
Wen Yu opened her arms, letting the wind pass through her shoulders and brush past her ears, blowing her long black hair along with it.
If she were a tree at this moment, her branches and leaves would not be able to help but tremble in the breeze, and every part of her would feel happy.
Wen Yu breathed almost greedily. The scent of grass mixed with the fragrance of soil intertwined into a unique aroma that dominated her sense of smell.
Flourishing, luxuriant, vigorous, and full of vitality.
It was the smell of freedom, her favorite smell.
"Woohoo——" Wen Yu couldn't help but shout loudly in excitement.
Song Linsheng and Yu Chang followed, and Xiyan, who had tied up the carriage, also followed from behind.
Looking at Wen Yu's curved eyebrows and eyes that were as clear and moving as a crescent moon, Song Linsheng couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled.
Perhaps, since the day he left Shangdu, everyone thought that his official career would be over and there would be no turning back.
But he doesn't care.
In the eyes of others, Jiangyang Prefecture is a poor and barren place compared to Shangdu, but in his eyes it is a beautiful city.
The resources are abundant and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Even if there are occasional incidents, they are quickly resolved.
More importantly—
Song Linsheng lowered his head and glanced sideways, Wen Yu's smiling face was right beside him.
What could be better than this?
However, Yu Chang on the side did not have any extra expression, and just glanced at the scenery in front of him lightly.
Such a scene, indeed... he had never seen it before.
For thousands of years in the past, he could not move an inch under the Yuanshui River. In the past year, he could barely use a little bit of his demonic power to create an illusion, and most of the time he walked at night.
Where is the opportunity and leisure to see the scenery of the Yuan River in broad daylight?
until--
Yu Chang's eyes swept across Wen Yu's eyebrows.
Until she appeared again.
He should have hated and resented the person in front of him, but seeing the stupid and clumsy look in front of him...
Yu Chang lowered his eyes and felt the haze in his heart was swept away.
Song Linsheng and Yu Chang each had their own thoughts, but Wen Yu, who was between them, was completely unaware.
The clear voice echoed in the fields, interacting with the wind and clouds, without any scruples or constraints.
"It feels so good!" Wen Yu glanced around and nudged Song Linsheng and Yu Chang on the shoulders. "Why don't you try shouting a few times too?"
Yu Chang was stunned, and when Wen Yu suddenly interrupted him, his mind suddenly froze.
"Boring." Yu Chang's eyes flashed and he turned away unconsciously.
Wen Yu frowned and glanced at Yu Chang, thinking he was really unromantic.
"Song Linsheng!" She then turned her head and looked excitedly at Song Linsheng on the other side.
Their eyes met, and Song Linsheng pursed his lips shyly.
Just when Wen Yu thought that he would not laugh and joke with her, Song Linsheng raised his hands around his mouth and shouted loudly: "Woohoo--"
The sound echoed around the mountains and rivers, and returned to Wen Yu's ears.
The smile on Wen Yu's face froze, and she was stunned for a moment, and her thick eyelashes like crow feathers trembled.
Song Linsheng has always been polite and respectful, and can even be said to be law-abiding.
This cry today seemed to break the shell covering him, and the vigorous vitality made the expression on his face extremely fresh and vivid.
Amidst the green mountains and clear waters of the fields, he was like a new sprout breaking through the soil, using every bit of his strength to strive upwards.
However, this is another side of Song Linsheng that he rarely reveals.
Even Wen Yu was a little surprised when he saw it.
"Xiao Yu?" Song Linsheng turned his head back, and his expectant gaze turned into doubt the moment it met Wen Yu.
"Puff..." Wen Yu couldn't help laughing, "It's okay, it's okay."
She laughed so hard that she could hardly stand up, and could only wave her hands repeatedly to signal Song Linsheng.
Song Linsheng's face flushed, and then a suspicious blush appeared on his face. Even the roots of his ears seemed to be translucent and dyed red.
Seeing Wen Yu laughing happily, Song Linsheng was neither anxious nor annoyed. He just reached out to support Wen Yu's arm to prevent her from losing her balance.
Xiyan, who was standing by, was watching his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose. Although it was very hard for him to endure, he couldn't hide the smile between his eyes and eyebrows.
Wen Yu grabbed Song Linsheng's arm with one hand and held her belly with the other, laughing and jokingly washing the inkstone.
"Xiyan, why don't you stop your young master?"
