"You are..." Qingwen hurriedly greeted her.

"I am Old Jiang, Zhuangtou," the old man walked forward with a smile, "Young master has told me that you will be the owner of this garden from now on. Come on, girl, I will show you around."

Following Lao Jiang's guidance, Lin Qingwen looked over one by one. The first thing that caught her eye was a row of more than twenty rooms.

There are people living in more than a dozen of them, and the rest of the houses are neatly tidied, bedding and furnished in all kinds of ways.

"That's where the young master and his entourage go when they come over occasionally. From now on, it will be where the girl goes."

Lao Jiang said, "Behind the house there is a cowshed, a granary, a utility room, and all the farm tools including shovels, hoes, rakes, etc. for working are complete."

"Oh," Lin Qingwen turned to look at the large piece of land, "What are you growing in the land now?"

"This garden was originally dedicated to growing crops. The land is full of rice, millet, corn, and golden beans. Now this garden belongs to the girl. We can plant whatever the girl likes."

Qingwen turned to Chen Sanyuan and Yu Uncle and said with a smile: "Originally I only planned to buy 20 acres of land and plant it all with golden beans. Who wants to get 200 acres at once? Uncle Chen and Uncle Yu, tell me what we can plant.

?”

Chen Sanyuan looked at the forest in the distance and muttered:

"The girl bought the land mainly for the use of Zizhuxuan. I think in addition to growing golden beans, it is best to plant various fruit trees in the mountains and forests there.

The land near the mountains and forests is usually thin, and the crops are not lush enough. But it is different if you plant fruit trees. After two or three years, the fruits will be produced, and the teahouses and private rooms will serve the fruits to the diners, so there is no need to go outside.

I bought it. If I have any extra, I can sell it to others."

Yu Bo glanced at the stream that gurgled down from the mountain and passed through the entire Zhuangzi, and said: "I see that there is enough water in this manor. All kinds of vegetables can be planted on both sides of the stream. Watering is convenient, and there is no need to buy vegetables in the future.

."

Lao Jiang nodded frequently and said:

"What these two brothers said is that the land over there is thin and the millet grown there is not good enough. It might be better to plant fruit trees.

The land near the water is good for growing vegetables, melons and fruits. But the only thing is that I am good at growing crops, but I am not good at growing vegetables and fruit trees, so I have to ask the girl to find a way."

"Wait until I get back and think about it carefully." Lin Qingwen thought deeply.

At this moment, seven or eight women led a group of children aged only five, six, seven or eight years old back from the fields.

When they saw Qingwen, adults and children all had curiosity in their eyes.

"Come here and meet the new master." Lao Jiang said.

A crowd of people came over and knelt down to kowtow to Qingwen.

Qingwen looked embarrassed, why are you still wearing something like this?

"Girl, we are all the slaves of Mr. Chen. He sold us and Zhuangzi to you. From now on, we will be your slaves. I will give you the deed later." Lao Jiang said.

"How is this possible?" Qingwen was even more embarrassed.

Even with a house, land, and twelve slaves, how could one thousand eight hundred taels be enough? How should she return the extra money to Chen Hanxiao?

The children didn't care about Qingwen's inner confusion. They got up and hugged her, their curious eyes wandering around her body.

"Xiaohong." Qingwen called out.

Xiaohong hurriedly took out her money bag and grabbed a large handful of copper coins.

Qingwen didn't expect that there would be a group of children here, but Xiaohong was always prepared, and there was always something in her pocket.

"Miss Qing gave it to me, so I bought some fruit to eat." Xiaohong said while dividing the money.

"Thank you girl."

The women quickly pressed their children's heads to thank them, their eyes full of sincerity, "Girl, do you want to stay for dinner today? Let's go cook."

"No, no, I'll go back and eat later." Qingwen said quickly.

She was very happy in her heart. She only looked at the land where crops were grown. She was happy but didn't have much sense of belonging.

It wasn't until she saw these women and children that she felt that Xiaochenzhuang was really her second safe haven.

Lin Qingwen did not go back to Zizhuxuan, but went directly back to the city with Baoyu and Xiaohong.

The carriage was driving slowly on the streets of the capital. Qingwen suddenly stopped, got out of the car and turned into a family's house.

That was Qian Xue's home. The three low-rise rooms were very simple.

"Miss Qing, I didn't expect you to come. Come in and have a sip of tea."

Qianxue, who was washing clothes in the yard, quickly wiped her hands and stood up, letting Qingwen into the house and pouring tea for her.

"This tea is no better than the tea in the house, so just drink it, girl." She said apologetically.

"Stop working so hard, Qianxue," Qingwen held her hand and said distressedly, "I'm very busy, so I just came here today. Please sit down and tell me how you've been on this trip."

"I'm having a good time."

Qianxue smiled gently, "My husband-in-law was seriously ill last year, and all the family's money was spent on medicine for him, and he never recovered.

Fortunately, the girl sent someone to deliver ten taels of silver, and my father-in-law and husband-in-law went out to work for others, so we can survive this tight life. I really want to thank you girl."

"Qianxue, there is no need to say thank you, it is the friendship between us sisters for many years."

Qingwen said, "I won't hide it from you. I just bought a small village outside the city. I need to find some people who can grow vegetables and fruit trees. I wonder if you and your husband-in-law are willing to help me?"

"Qingwen, I don't know how to thank you enough. Why wouldn't we be willing to do it? Having work to do every day is no better than looking for work everywhere and you may not be able to find it?"

Qianxue's eyes, which had been a little distracted, shone with light, "It just so happens that my father-in-law is the best at growing vegetables. I will give you a reply tonight when they come back to ask."

…

Qingwen quietly returned to Tubi Villa, where the sisters were still gathered together.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. Where have you been?" Baochai asked.

"It's not our idiot Mr. Bao. He said he was reading "The Great Learning". He didn't understand where he was reading. He wanted to go to Mr. Mu for advice, so he had to take me to Baiyun Temple with him." Qingwen said with a smile.

"Oh, Brother Ai is actually reading "The University" seriously? The sun is really rising in the west."

Shi Xiangyun was overjoyed, "How could I persuade him to meet those people who work for officials and talk about career economics? He wouldn't be embarrassed? What's going on today?"

"It's just a trivial matter to make fun of him. That time I tried to persuade him, but he picked up his feet and walked away before I could finish my words. It's not my fault if I say it here, and it's not my fault if I don't say it. It's just like this that people can't get offended."

Baochai smiled and said, "I wonder who Mr. Mu is? How could he subdue this young master? If I were a man, I would definitely go and meet him."

Daiyu laughed and glanced at Qingwen. Qingwen stared back calmly, making Daiyu stick out her tongue in fright.
