After traveling through time, she just wanted to eat, drink and have fun

Just when Fugui was getting annoyed by the knocking on the door and was about to turn around and ask his master's permission to break down the door, the door finally opened.

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman dressed like a farmer. Her hair was neatly combed behind her head and mostly wrapped with a piece of cloth, but from the exposed part, her hair was very clean. Her overall skin color was a healthy wheat color but not too rough. Her clothes were white from being washed and had a few patches but they were spotless and didn't even have many wrinkles. Her overall temperament was inconsistent with that of a farmer. How to say it? Zhu Yu felt that if this person was in an ancient drama, she should be a nanny or a respectable maidservant by the master's side. Could she be the confidant arranged by Aunt Lin?

While Zhu Yu was looking at her, the middle-aged woman was also looking at everyone in front of her with a defensive look on her face. Fugui was used to being domineering with Zhu Yu on weekdays, so he yelled at the woman without thinking: "What are you standing there for? Our young lady is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. This whole manor belongs to her, including you. Why don't you open the door and welcome our young lady in? You have no sense!"

Zhu Yu: ... These people under my command have really been indulged by my original self and have become lawless. They can really cause trouble for me.

"Fugui, please speak nicely. Don't be so arrogant in the future. If I find you being so arrogant again, you'll have to watch your back! Get out of here! Xiaohua, go and take the jade token given by Aunt Lin."

Fugui was a lackey, so of course he nodded and agreed to everything Zhu Yu said. He smiled awkwardly at the woman and retreated. But in the eyes of the woman, it seemed that Zhu Yu was using this to scare her and show her his power.

The woman looked calm. She took the jade token from Xiaohua and looked at it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, she opened all the doors of the manor and made a gesture of invitation.

As soon as Zhu Yu entered the room, she bowed to him and said, "I am Zhang, the manager here. I didn't know that the young lady was coming today. I hope I will be sorry for my negligence."

Since they were here to take back the farm, Zhu Yu certainly would not make things difficult for her. She just replied calmly, "It's okay, get up." Then Zhang led Zhu Yu and Yinghua into a main room, and Zhu Yu sent the other servants to rest in the servants' rest area according to Zhang's instructions.

Zhu Yu sat down at the main seat and asked Zhang, who was serving him tea, "Why are you alone? Where are the others?"

Zhang replied calmly, "Miss, it rained quite a bit in the past few days. I discussed with the steward and decided to take the people in the farm to weed the fields today since the fields are a little drier. I just came back to get the tools, otherwise I would have been very sorry to have neglected you since there is no one here. Please forgive me." As she finished pouring the tea, she stood up and gave Zhu Yu another standard bow.

Zhu Yu weakly helped Zhang up, and Zhang was flattered, dodging while saying, "No, no!"

Zhu Yu didn't continue to argue with her. She smiled and said, "You saw it just now. I don't have so many rules for the people below me, so I let them be like that. You don't have to be so reserved with me. I'll call you Aunt Zhang. I'll inevitably trouble you with things in Zhuangzi in the future."

"No, no, this is really too much of an embarrassment for me. You can just call me Manager Zhang along with them. You rest here for a while, and I will go and call them all back now." Zhang said while waving her hand.

"Okay, then I will call you Butler Zhang from now on, and there's no need to call them all over. I'll go with you to take a look, otherwise I won't know where the fields are when Aunt Lin asks about them." Zhu Yu glanced at the tea at hand and stood up.

After hearing this, Manager Zhang led her out of the main house. The little beggar did not go to the servants' resting place, but stood in the yard waiting. The sun was a little too strong at this moment, and he could hardly open his eyes.

Zhu Yucai then remembered to arrange his affairs.

"Manager Zhang, I picked up a little beggar on the road. Would you mind taking him in?" Zhu Yu asked straight to the point.

Manager Zhang looked the little beggar up and down. Somehow, he thought he looked familiar. Then he said to Zhu Yu respectfully, "Miss, you can stay and try first."

Zhu Yu nodded and said to the listless little beggar: "Little beggar, you stay here for now. I will come over several times a month. Work hard."

The little beggar bowed to her with difficulty, and after watching Zhu Yu and Manager Zhang go away, she walked towards the servants' resting room. She lowered her brows, and no one knew what was going on in her mind.

After passing through a small forest, a flat and open land appeared in front of her. The corn planted on it was knee-high. There were three men and one woman working in the field. Judging from where they were standing, they must have been working for a long time. Zhu Yu looked at the land while recalling the four seasons here. There was winter and it would snow. Under the conditions of this era, it was still impossible to grow anything in the land, but the temperature was not particularly low, similar to the coastal cities in the northeast in her era. It would be great if she could study greenhouses to grow off-season vegetables. The land utilization rate would be improved and the income would be good.

Manager Zhang: "Miss, please wait a moment. I will call them over to see you."

Several people came over and Manager Zhang introduced them one by one.

The older man is Liu the accountant, and the remaining two younger strong men and the little girl are hired farmhands. Aunt Lin is really good at management. These people work together during the slack season, and there is a clear division of labor in daily life. For example, the little girl is responsible for sweeping and cooking, and the two farmhands are responsible for rough work such as chopping firewood and carrying heavy objects. During the busy farming season, each of them can independently lead a team of odd jobs to complete the tasks at hand.

After several people greeted Zhu Yu one by one, Zhu Yu said a few polite words, left Zhang the manager and Liu the accountant behind, and let the rest of the people continue to work.

The two men led Zhu Yu along the fields to familiarize himself with the environment while answering Zhu Yu's questions.

Zhu Yu quickly found out the general situation of the farm, and it was not different from what Aunt Lin said. After they went back, she asked for the account book that had not been handed in this month and looked through it. There was nothing wrong. When she was considering whether to eat here or go to the wild to roast game for lunch, a sound like Fugui slaughtering a pig suddenly came from the servants' resting room.

After hearing this, Zhu Yu and his companions ran towards the servants' room together, only to see the servants who were resting in the room all running out, shouting as they ran: "Snake, there is a snake!" The scene was very chaotic for a while.

Fugui was still screaming in the house: "Ah! Help, snake, help, I was bitten by a snake!"

Accountant Liu picked up a shovel from under the eaves, turned around and said to Zhu Yu, "Miss, please don't come close. I'll go in and see what's going on."

Looking at his hands that were clenched so tightly that they turned white, Zhu Yu reminded him to be careful.

After a while, Liu the Accountant came out of the servant's room with a shovel carrying a decapitated snake. "Miss, the snake is dead. The young man inside seems to have been bitten. I'll get the antidote powder now."

Zhu Yu: "Is there no danger to your life? Can I go in?"

Accountant Liu: "There is no danger to life. The poison of this snake is not strong. I checked and there should be no other danger in the house. You can go in."

When Zhu Yu entered, she saw Fugui holding her calves and crying with tears and snot, huddled in the corner of the bed. When she saw her come in, she called her "Miss" aggrievedly like a little wife.

Zhu Yu: "It's okay, Accountant Liu has gone to get you the antidote. There's no other danger in the room. We'll go back after I give you the antidote."

After hearing her words, Fugui nodded vigorously and shed tears.

Seeing Fugui who was frightened, Zhu Yu waved his hand and said, "Go back and ask the kitchen to make you a big pork elbow to replenish your body. Then you can have another half month's vacation."

After Accountant Liu came back and applied medicine to Fugui, Zhu Yu kept her word and left with a group of people, regardless of the attempts of Manager Zhang and Accountant Liu to keep her. She also took the little beggar with her, because the little beggar stopped her and cried breathlessly, saying that he was afraid of snakes and did not dare to stay here. Zhu Yu had no choice but to take him away.

Watching the carriages go away, Accountant Liu asked, "Young lady, are you really going to hand us over to Miss Zhu?"

Manager Zhang lowered his eyes and said after a while: "Since Miss Lin has ordered us to treat everyone in the Zhu family as her master, we will do as she says."
