Chapter 259 259. Departure
“So Mr. Xie has gone back to the Yamen to write notes?”
“Well, this matter is important and reporting is inevitable. But the Fifth Prince may have Troops will be stationed In the village."
"Is it so grand?"
"Although Xie Wenbin is employed in Lin'an Mansion, there are many people watching here. There have been a few rats in the city recently."
Cheng Xi was speechless, "It's just a field, how can it be treated like a political conspiracy?"
Shen Xingluo chuckled, to them it was just a field, but to the local officials and the people of the world, It is beneficial to the country, and the merit is greater than heaven.
The two walked out of the kitchen carrying the dishes. Mr. Xu was already sitting quietly at the dining table, sipping wine.
And there was a table of potato dishes in front of him, and there was no shortage of potatoes compared to those at the end of the field.
“Oh, don’t tell me, these lumps are really delicious. This plate is made of noodles, but this one is crispy and refreshing.”
That's because most of the starch in the potatoes has been soaked in water.
Cheng Xi sat on one side, "As long as you like to eat."
"It's a pity that I can only eat this meal."
Mr. Xu smashed it. Twice, he looked at Tudou with regret.
Thanks to my apprentice, I was lucky to be able to "smuggle" a few back from the fields today. Even if there was a bumper potato harvest, they would all be saved for sowing in the future.
Cheng Xi chuckled lightly, "Master, don't regret it. You can plant a second crop this year and harvest it at the end of September after autumn."
"Huh, what's the use of that? You weren't here at that time. The village."
"." That makes sense.
The current head of Lin'an Mansion is very resolute in handling affairs, and he gave away the discounts after returning home.
Of course, the fifth prince from the Huaishan camp was not left behind either.
So within two days, a group of soldiers wearing armor came on horseback. The leader was Fu Chenglan, whom the villagers had met once before. Just a quarter of an hour ago, an ordinary carriage drove out of Shenjia Village.
The person in charge of driving the train was Su Zhan. Wangshu sat silently on the other side. In the carriage, Shen Xingluo was reading a book, while Shen Xingqi was holding Cheng in her arms. Xi's arm spoke quietly.
"Why doesn't Mr. Xu come to Beijing with us?"
"Master traveled throughout Dayan in his early years and saw countless sights. Compared to hanging out with us, he I prefer to guard this piece of Shennong Mountain.”
Cheng Xi comforted her, "Don't worry, master will probably come to find us when we settle down in the capital."
Shen Xingqi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and finally realized, "Yes, wait until the old man finishes drinking. Sister-in-law left He will definitely come to us for his wine.”
“That’s right.”
But I’m afraid the Shen’s Ancestral Hall will become lively in the future, and I don’t know what’s left for Master at home. How many days can he eat those braised pork?
The few people were in no hurry, and the carriage was not very fast.
Shen Xingqi had never been outside the confines of Lin'an Mansion, so she was curious about everything. She opened the curtain and looked outside countless times along the way, without feeling tired at all.
We walked and walked all morning, and at noon we chose a forest next to the water to rest.
"Sir, get out of the car and rest."
Wang Shu picked up his sword and said, "Madam, I'm going to hunt some wild animals nearby."
"Go ahead."
After Su Zhan set up the carriage, he went to the stream to get water. Cheng Xi took out a piece of cloth and spread it on the grass. He laid out the snacks prepared in the morning and ate and rested.
It doesn’t look like I’m on the road at all, it looks more like I’m going out for an outing.
Wang Shu soon came back with two prepared pheasants, and a fire was set up here.
