"Shu girl, you called me here to talk about Xiaomai, right?"

Cang Wenyuan's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he lowered his head to take a sip of tea. Mo Yici noticed his expression, thought for a few turns, and listened to their conversation as if nothing had happened.

"Shu girl, we need to plant the wheat seeds quickly, but human labor is still too slow. It's getting cold quickly these days. If we are late, it will be too late, and the insulation methods you taught us will be useless."

Lan Wangshu lowered his eyes and said nothing. There was no special expression on his face and he did not seem to be in a hurry. Mo Yici and Cang Wenyuan both secretly watched him out of the corner of their eyes. Their eyes met, but they did not say anything and continued to observe.

"It's not that there is a way, but we need a carpenter. Is there anyone good at this in the village?"

"You mean using wooden objects to sow seeds?"

Cang Wenyuan looked up and asked. Lan Wangshu looked at her meaningfully. This look made Cang Wenyuan stunned. Was he too impatient? Was this little girl too wary?

"Brother Cang has made great achievements. If he can't be a county magistrate, then being a county magistrate is not a problem. Why does he want to return to the village and be an idler? That would be a waste of his talent."

Lan Wangshu looked at her with deep meaning in his eyes, and he seemed to be smiling. She always felt that Cang Wenyuan was very interested in her. Of course, she didn't think that her current flat body was anything to be coveted, but he still cared about her a little too much.

He is being too attentive for no reason. I don't know what he is thinking.

"Yes, Xiuqi is also an acquaintance of mine in Kyoto. He is the favorite student of the Minister of Revenue. Why did he return to his hometown?"

Mo Yici put down the teacup beside him and looked at Cang Wenyuan with a slight mockery in his eyes.

"Really? Young Master knows Brother Cang, so why are you pretending not to know him when you enter the house?"

Lan Wangshu had a polite smile on her face, but she felt a little unhappy in her heart. Why did he interrupt and disrupt her rhythm?

Mo Yici coughed lightly, pretended not to hear, and looked at the sky without saying a word.

Zhou Xingnan had never seen him like this before, and couldn't help but take two steps forward, wanting to take a closer look at Mo Yici's expression. However, the other party seemed to be against him and turned around silently.

Lan Wangshu was too lazy to watch their childish behavior. He turned to look at the village chief with a smile on his face and admiring eyes, like a little girl who knew nothing.

"Grandpa Village Chief, do you have a suitable candidate for carpenter?"

The village chief felt that the atmosphere was extremely strange. He looked at his son with some suspicion and stroked his beard.

"My son, Xiuqi is very good at carpentry."

"No wonder Brother Cang is the favorite student of the Minister of Revenue. This is a perfect match for their majors."

Cang Wenyuan seemed to understand what she said. He didn't know what she was trying to say, but he could roughly understand the meaning. It seemed like she was praising him, but there was also a kind of weird tone in it, which made people feel uncomfortable.

It's like there's a cup of tea in front of you, it smells and tastes good, but you find out it's actually made of grass and you can't get it up or down.

"I will obey Sister Lan's orders."

Cang Wenyuan knew that Lan Wangshu had some ideas, so he didn't care about his face anymore and asked humbly. He stood up, straightened his robe, performed a gentleman's salute properly, and bowed deeply.

Lan Wangshu stood up and moved slightly to the side. She looked down on Cang Wenyuan's furtive attention to her, but she would not make trouble for it. Asking a man of honor to apologize to her would be a slap in the face of the village chief. She was not a fool.

"I have received the sincerity of Brother Cang. Let's start tomorrow and make faster progress. Once it is done, let Uncle Zhao use it. If it is useful, we can promote it and save the villagers some effort."

Lan Wangshu stared at Cang Wenyuan closely and nodded gently to express his thoughts. Cang Wenyuan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that she would think this way. He looked at the little girl and raised his eyebrows with a smile. She was really mischievous.

"Okay, I'll try to get you some rewards then."

"No need, they are just some small things, made by my brother from the Cang family, so they belong to my brother."

Mo Yici was a little surprised that someone could be so indifferent to fame and fortune. People in this world pursue fame and fortune, especially in the officialdom. But she, a little girl, was generous and didn't care about these achievements at all.

"Xiu Qi appreciates this, thank you sister Wang Shu."

Cang Wenyuan bowed and sat upright. Lan Wangshu nodded with satisfaction. She guessed that Cang Wenyuan must have returned because of some secret orders. Isn't it right that the land matters should be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue?

She has no elders behind her, nor any connections she can use, so she has to strive for all these favors on her own. Although it may be a bit utilitarian, humans are social animals after all, and these social interactions are necessary.

After a simple dinner, Lan Wangshu took his brothers, Zhou Xingnan and Mo Yici back to his new home. Walking along, they found that the structure of the entire house was one of the best in the village.

Pushing open the original wooden door, a spacious courtyard came into view. The road was paved with stone slabs and it looked very clean. Zhou Xingnan was lively and active, and walked around the courtyard.

"Boss, where do I sleep?"
