Don't be offended! She is Mr. Xiao’s little ancestor

Chapter 218 Managing the Fiefdom

"Xiao Yu, how long can your life be?"

Watching Xiao Yu leave the city, Tian Buji, who had been hiding in the dark, murmured coldly.

He secretly followed the team carrying the order all the way, knowing that he would definitely find Xiao Yu's people. He never dared to show his face because he knew that the mission failed. If he returned to the imperial city to return to his life, there was a high chance that his life would be in danger. He did not dare to take the risk. , because he didn't have any trump card in his hand to make the emperor spare his life.

So he had to do something to go back again.

In addition, he also wanted to find out whether that person was beside Xiao Yu and whether that person was really still alive.

But when he saw Xiao Yu and his group, he didn't see the person he was looking for. Therefore, he now wanted to find out who broke his trap, and who among Xiao Yu's side had such ability. Before he found that person, he didn't dare to take action rashly again, for fear of falling short again. Moreover, this was the territory of Prince Wu Quan's palace, and his fate could be imagined if he was discovered.

But after observing for so long, he really couldn't figure out who it was.

Except for the guards, who were the girls, I didn't see anyone special.

Luo Yunyan also didn't expect that Tian Buji would follow them to Mucheng, and he was waiting for opportunities in the dark, secretly observing their every move.

Watching Xiao Yu leave, Tian Buji did not follow him, but planned to stay in Mucheng. There were so many people around Xiao Yu, and he himself was very skilled. It would be difficult for him to find an opportunity to make a move, and he was going to the military. Among them, the military camp is not so easy to sneak into, and the old princess and the princess who stayed in Mucheng are Xiao Yu's few weaknesses. If he can control them, he will not be able to deal with Xiao Yu.

Tian Buji's calculation was shrewd, but now, he hasn't figured out how to start yet, so he doesn't dare to act rashly, and wants to observe again.

The prayer for rain outside the city also cost him a lot. He is now a little unable to observe the sky at night. He knows why. There is a saying in their line of work. What he calls it is to go against the will of heaven and spy on the secrets of heaven. , these actions will be counterattacked by the law of heaven, but he has never believed it, but now it seems that he may have some impact, so he has to make careful calculations.

There are so many unexplainable things in this world.

At this moment, the table Luo Yunyan set up in her yard made Hui'er and others look puzzled. It looked like an altar to worship the gods of heaven and earth, but someone had put the altar in the yard. Yes, Luo Yunyan didn't explain much, she just said perfunctorily that she was praying for the prince, so no one doubted it. After all, the prince was going to guard the border, and the princess did this because she cared about the prince.

Old man Shen was quite surprised.

"Don't worry, Princess. Your Majesty will definitely return safely."

The prince is still protected by the Qilin Army, so it must be fine, but the princess is a woman, so it is understandable.

Looking at the prepared observation platform, Luo Yunyan smiled and nodded, "Uncle Shen is right, the prince will return safely. I am doing this just for peace of mind, but you are laughing at me."

"How dare you? The princess cares about the prince in her heart." Old Man Shen did not expect Luo Yunyan to speak so directly and generously.

"Old man Shen went in and said that the prince said when he left, in Lingchuan, thanks to your family's hard work for so many years, I have the opportunity to ask you for advice."

They had been left in charge before, but now that they are here, even if they don’t care about the specific details, they still have to ask about the general situation. They have to know what the main income of the fief is, how many people there are, and the situation in various places in the fief. etc. "Don't dare. Princess, I don't dare ask for advice. If you have anything to do, just ask. I don't dare to hide anything. Princess, there are a lot of account books. Where do you want to start?"

Old Uncle Shen is now considered the general manager of the mansion. He came to Luo Yunyan early in the morning with his account books. The prince had been gone for three days, but the princess simply did not go to him to reconcile the accounts, nor did she ask anyone else. Instead, she was fiddling with them. At this altar, he had no choice but to bring his account book and come to the door to explain.

"Do it, Hui'er, serve tea."

Luo Yunyan sat down at the desk, asked Old Man Shen to sit across from him, and asked him to put the account book aside.

This style of behavior suddenly made Mr. Shen feel a little confused.

Hui'er served tea and then left. Old Shen sat down nervously. It seemed inappropriate to sit with the organization, but the princess insisted, so he had no choice but to obey her orders.

"Princess, these account books are the various expenses and income accounts of Mucheng. They are from other places. They will be handed over to the princess for review later. There are many account books and may not be read in three or two days. Please take a look and if you have any questions, just ask."

Old Man Shen was a little worried. The princess didn't know if she could understand these account books, and they were still a bit complicated, so he didn't dare to let others send them to him. He just kept them here himself so that he could answer them at any time.

"Let it go, I'll go back and ask Old Uncle Shen if there's anything I don't understand about it. Now, I want to ask Old Uncle Shen about the specific situation in this mansion."

"Yes, Princess, just ask."

Luo Yunyan knew that understanding a fiefdom was not a matter of a day or two. Take your time or don't rush.

"How many servants are there in total in the mansion? Please tell me in detail according to the division of labor. How much are the monthly expenses of the mansion..."

After some questioning, Old Man Shen found that he had really underestimated the princess before. She knew all these common affairs very clearly, but she could understand them clearly after just listening to them once, and she remembered them all. He thought to himself, no wonder The prince was relieved to leave the affairs of the fief to the princess. He was quite worried at first. He was not afraid of being tired, but he was afraid that the princess would be troubled by many things before she arrived.

"Okay, things in this house will go as planned for the time being. If there are any changes that need to be made, I will think about it and make a list of regulations. When the time comes, I will follow the regulations. Grandma doesn't like luxury. , three meals a day, don’t be too extravagant, she likes lighter meals, I eat with her, there is no need to deliberately prepare too much, if there is anything in particular that I want to eat, I will order it at the moment, and... the furnishings in the house They're all pretty good, but the old man likes flowers and plants, so he can plant more. I'll show my courage later. Old man Shen will go and see if there are any for sale here. I'll just buy them and plant them. Leave the rest as usual. Oh, I almost forgot about something. , the sect of the front door of the mansion has been changed, instead of Xiao's mansion, it has been changed to Prince Wuquan's mansion, and the direction of the door should be slightly eastward. No need to make any big changes, it should be possible to change it in three days. Please hire a few more agile people. artisan."

Change the door?
Although he was confused, Old Man Shen didn't ask any more questions, "Okay, I will follow the instructions of the princess in a moment."

"The orientation of the door is related to Feng Shui. I took a look and it would be better if I changed it."

Seeing the other party's doubts, Luo Yunyan simply explained it so that the old man wouldn't have to guess too much.

"Feng Shui? The princess actually knows Feng Shui!" Old Uncle Shen was a little surprised.

"I just know a little bit about it. I'll take care of everything in the house. Are the stewards from various places arriving soon?"

I heard that the owner of the fiefdom was coming, and the stewards from all over the place were coming to meet him.
