The lord's stunning concubine

Chapter 1023 1041 Powerful House (4)

Lan Qingqing asked with a smile: "Why was no one watching the door when we came in?"

"He is so poor that even ghosts don't come here, and none of the ministers in the court are willing to come, and ordinary people are frightened by the tall lintel, and no one comes here. There is no need for a gatekeeper here. His mansion There are a total of ten or so servants, and I rewarded him at the time. He never needed someone to serve him. He used all of those servants to farm, and then asked me to pay for him. The reason is that I rewarded the servants. I gave it to him, so I have to raise it." Jing Ye said lightly.

Lan Qingqing couldn't help chuckling when she heard the words, but asked, "Didn't the lord give him a maid before?"

"Why not?" Jing Ye said unhurriedly: "It's just that he felt that the servant girl's work was not as fast as the boy's, so he sold them all. I asked him for the money for selling the servant girl, but he was fine, a penny He didn’t give it. It was said that the repair of the yard needed money. I hadn’t come to see how he made the garden, and I believed it. After I came in and saw it, I didn’t know what to say at the time, but he was justified. Said that all the silver was used to buy seeds."

Jing Ye didn't say much about Qin Zhuimeng's anecdotes before Lan Qingqing.

After hearing this, Lan Qingqing felt that Qin Zhuimeng was definitely a talent, and he was a talent among talents!

There was also a smile in Jing Ye's eyes. Although he disagreed with Qin Zhuimeng in many ways, it was undeniable that he was indeed an extremely interesting person.

Such a person is definitely a very special existence among these dignitaries in the capital.

The two walked forward slowly, and finally when they passed the second gate, they saw a few servants there tending the vegetable field. Some garlic seedlings were planted in the vegetable field, which had already grown a bit long at this time. Frost Snow, seems to have no spirit.

Some of the servants recognized Jing Ye, and immediately came over to salute, and after the salute, the man who seemed to be alone in charge said: "The Prime Minister and the princess are currently touching lotus roots in the lotus pond to the west, please wait a moment, my lord, please come forward." Go report."

"No need, I just go straight there." After Jing Ye finished speaking, he followed Lan Qingqing to the backyard.

It was a lotus pond about one mu in square, and there were several willow trees planted around it. It was presumably because the trunk of the willow tree was too hard that no one was willing to buy it, so it survived to this day.

There are several gazebos beside the lotus pond, which are of the simplest style. The black tiles on them are gone, and the pavilions are covered with straws harvested this season. They don't look too old or worn out.

Lan Qingqing walked all the way, this lotus pond is considered the most bookish place in the entire palace, and it still looks a bit like a place where literati should stay.

It's just that she soon discovered that she still underestimated Qin Zhuimeng's destructive ability. Under the pond on the other side, a thick layer of pond mud was deposited, and then she saw a person wearing a coir raincoat soaking in front of his feet. Digging lotus root in the lotus pond, the man heard the voice and said: "My lord, this lotus root is fat and big, it would be best to fry it tonight."

After he said this, he lifted up a big lotus root that was stained with pond mud in his hand as if offering a treasure, and when he looked up, he saw Jing Ye and Lan Qingqing who were smiling, and he was stunned for a moment and said, "What about the prince and the princess?" come?"

Lan Qingqing had just heard from the steward that Qin Zhuimeng was digging lotus roots in the lotus pond, and she thought that he might have sent someone down to do this, but she didn't expect that he actually dug the lotus pond himself.

He was only wearing a coarse cotton padded jacket today, which was covered with a lot of mud, and his face was also covered with a lot of mud, but it just matched his smiling face that was as warm as the spring breeze, and it had a special taste.
