Chapter 155 Small Pond
Chapter 155 Small Pond
“This is a private place, please leave immediately.” The two guards outside the manor drew their swords.
Su Yue was not discouraged. After all, it was her first time visiting this manor, and it was normal that they didn't know each other.
Judging from this, Shen Lerong did a good job managing this place.
Qiaoyun took out a plaque from her bosom and showed it to the two guards.
The two guards were so frightened they almost dropped their knives. They'd really messed with the local tyrant!
Then the two quickly knelt down and kowtowed, begging for mercy, "We were blind and didn't recognize your greatness, please spare our lives, Immortal Envoy!"
Su Yue didn't intend to blame the two of them. "Get up! There's nothing wrong with doing your duty. This is what you should be doing."
The two exchanged a glance, kowtowed again, and then stood up. "Thank you, Your Excellency. I will open the door for you now."
The guards quickly opened the gate and removed the threshold to allow the carriage to pass.
As soon as Su Yue and Qiao Yun entered the room, they saw a figure running fast in the distance, who suddenly grabbed Su Yue and hugged her.
"Ah Yue, I've missed you so much." Dali hugged Su Yue tightly, his head rubbing against her neck from time to time.
She's only been apart for a few days, and she already misses Su Yue terribly. If they didn't need people here, she would have run back to find Su Yue long ago.
"I miss you so much, Dali. Let go of me first, I can hardly breathe." Su Yue patted Dali, who was still acting coquettishly towards her.
Dali, being very obedient, let go, but he held onto Su Yue's hand and refused to let go.
“Ah Yue, let me tell you, the land here is so big and there is so much land. All the seeds you gave me have been planted, but why are they not sprouting as fast as the ones in the small courtyard?”
Oh, and there's another one! There's a small hill behind here, and I even caught a rabbit on it.
Unfortunately, Ms. Shen said that the rabbit was pregnant and couldn't be eaten, so I found it a house to keep it.
I feed it every day, and it eats its fill, leaving behind a litter of baby rabbits.
But the little rabbit wasn't as pretty as the big rabbit. The old woman in the village said that the little rabbit would be just as cute as the big rabbit when it grew a bit bigger.
"Ah Yue, come on, I'll take you to see the little rabbits first!"
Su Yue listened patiently to Dali's words without showing any impatience.
Dali used to be very quiet, afraid that others would say she was stupid.
Su Yue was very happy for her that she could talk to Su Yue for so long.
"Dali, let's go to the fields behind first. Ayue still has things to do. Once she's done, Dali can come back with me."
“Okay! Let’s go to the fields behind here first.” Dali pulled Su Yue around a corner.
The entire village has two rows of rooms at the front where the owners live. You have to walk several hundred meters before you can see the houses where the people working on the village live.
The servants lived in rows of houses, each consisting of two rooms and a small courtyard. There were five or six rows, totaling about thirty or forty such courtyards.
Most of the people Shen Lerong hires to work here are couples, and some bring their children.
The entire village was surrounded by walls, all the way to the foot of the mountain.
The estate isn't very big, only about twenty acres, but it has a good location.
At this time, many people were already busy with farming in the fields. The men were hoeing the ground, and the women were weeding and watering the planted fields.
Shen Lerong saw Su Yue from afar and jogged over to greet her, followed by a man in his forties.
"Ah Yue, why are you here so early? Come and see, the planting in the fields is almost finished." Shen Lerong then introduced the people who followed her.
"This is Wang Shengcai, the original steward of this estate. I think he's an honest man, so I let him stay. He'll continue to be in charge of this place. I only need to come here every few days. Wang Shengcai, please greet the Immortal Envoy."
Wang Shengcai had always thought that the manor had changed owners, but he never expected that the one who had changed owners was the legendary Immortal Envoy.
She had initially thought that Zhuangzi belonged to the young lady Shen in front of her, but she never expected this!
He knelt down shakily and kowtowed: "This humble servant greets the Immortal Envoy."
"Get up!" Su Yue looked at the person kneeling on the ground. Judging from his appearance, he was not the kind of lazy, greedy, or cunning person. She felt at ease entrusting the estate to him.
"You must manage Zhuangzi well from now on. I despise those who deceive their superiors and cover up their mistakes. Think about the consequences if you are caught! If you do well, you will be rewarded handsomely!"
"Yes, I will definitely do my duty and never do anything despicable in the future," Wang Shengcai said, standing up.
After Wang Shengcai left to supervise the people's work, Shen Lerong led Su Yue to carefully examine the land.
They first inspected the fields, and then they even took a stroll around the seemingly inconspicuous back hill with great interest.
Although this mountain is not large, it contains hidden secrets.
A crystal-clear mountain spring flows gently down the mountainside, eventually forming a small pond at the foot of the mountain.
Even more ingeniously, someone deliberately dug a narrow irrigation ditch that meanders through the center of the entire field.
Before we knew it, time had slipped away, and it was already afternoon.
Su Yue told the others to go back to their rooms to rest, while she found an open space, sat down cross-legged, and prepared to cultivate.
It turned out that, after a period of exploration and experimentation, Su Yue was pleasantly surprised to find that when she was outdoors practicing, she could achieve better results.
The spiritual energy emanating from his body has a magical catalytic effect, accelerating the growth of things around him.
Tomorrow is the official opening day of the shop. We can't just rely on the fruits and vegetables in the vegetable garden in the backyard of Zhaixinglou, can we?
Therefore, Su Yue had already made plans before coming to the manor today.
Cultivate here and use your spiritual power to ripen all the newly planted fruits and vegetables.
Shen Lerong had already instructed Wang Shengcai not to let anyone go to the fields, so no one dared to disturb Su Yue's cultivation.
It wasn't until midnight that Su Yue opened her eyes. The fields were much larger and different than when she had come during the day.
Now the air is filled with the aroma of ripe fruits and vegetables. Su Yue walked to the cucumber trellis, picked one, and took out some water from her spatial storage to wash it.
I took a bite, and the cucumber's refreshing and crisp texture was only slightly inferior to what I had in the space, but ten times better than what I bought in modern supermarkets.
It's almost ready here, and people can start picking the fruit so they can get in as soon as the city gates open.
Su Yue returned to the room prepared for her and sent someone to inform Wang Shengcai that he could go to work in the fields.
When Wang Shengcai and his group arrived at the field, they were all dumbfounded.
No one dared to utter a sound, but their hands moved with remarkable speed.
