I traveled through time and space to hunt and support my family in ancient times

"Taste it?"

Jiang Xue picked up a piece of golden eggplant and said, "It's delicious. Is it fried eggplant?"

"I'm waiting for my sister to show off her skills today. You can help me and get our mother's candy."

The lunch was indeed very homely: braised three fresh delicacies, fried yellow mulberry, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, steamed fish, loofah soup, a basket of scallion pancakes, and a big pot of white rice.

However, the place for eating was chosen to be in the pavilion. The pavilion was surrounded by ponds on three sides, and the lotus flowers were in full bloom at this time, swaying and fluttering, very beautiful.

Xiao Che looked at his brother who was very satisfied with his meal and was currently eating his second bowl of food.

He nodded as if he had made some kind of decision. When he looked up again, he saw Jiang Yue's flattering smile. It was clear that she wanted money, so he asked knowingly, "What's the matter?"

"Well, let's eat first."

What about the first quarter profit? It's already summer, and you still haven't told me?

"Come on, come on."

After dinner, Jiang Lei took Xiao Yan to feed the fish.

Jiang Yue was a little absent-minded and suddenly slipped.

Ouch, what kind of posture is this? Jiang Yue stumbled and fell in front of me.

"sister--"

"Miss Jiang?"

Hearing the exclamations of the people around her, Jiang Yue came back to her senses, and seeing her own embarrassed appearance, she felt a little annoyed. How could she be so careless and make a fool of herself in front of Xiao Che.

"It's okay, I just lost my focus for a while and thought about He Zhang..."

Xiao Che reached out his hand to help her up. After he lifted her up from the ground, he turned around and leaned over to pick up the little turtle without saying anything. He said, "You still have a turtle in this pond."

When Jiang Yue, this little turtle, was bought last year, it was only the size of a palm. This year, it moved to a larger pond and has grown a lot bigger. It was caught in Xiao Che's hand, lying on its back with all four legs facing the sky, paddling desperately with its limbs, showing a strong desire to survive.

"Ah--"

This is not a challenge.

Jiang Yue patted the dust off her body and said, "Mr. Xiao, be careful. My little turtle is very fierce. If it bites you, it won't let go."

"Oh?"

Xiao Che became interested, so he broke off a lotus leaf and fed the petiole into the little turtle's mouth.

As soon as the dark green lotus stem touched the little turtle's mouth, it was immediately bitten by the little turtle. Xiao Che's hand loosened, and the little turtle took the opportunity to let go and jumped back into the pond, diving away.

Xiao Che wiped his hands, took out two silver bills from his pocket, and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore."

Jiang Yue was speechless. Was this really what he said? Was he not going to tease the turtle or was he not going to tease himself?

Forget it, she doesn't care for the sake of money.

"The profits for the two quarters total one thousand eight hundred taels. Here, two thousand taels. Keep it."

"Okay, I knew that Master Xiao was generous!"

Jiang Yue happily took the banknotes, each of which was worth one thousand taels. She subconsciously touched her pocket to find some money, but she only had small change.

"The extra two hundred taels that Young Master Xiao gave me can be considered as my share in advance. I can deduct it next quarter."

"That's not necessary. Xiao has something to ask Miss Jiang."

"What's going on?"

Xiao Che sniffed, "I'm going on a long trip, and it's not convenient to take Yan'er with me. I think he likes your place very much. Can he stay at your house for a few days?"

Jiang Yue paused. Although she was quite satisfied with her home, she was self-aware. She thought Xiao Che was crazy to want his brother to live in her home.

As the son of the Marquis of Yongning, you have servants to serve you in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Now you want to live in a farmer's house?

What's wrong with this head? What's he thinking?

Is it for novelty? Maybe, but she is not the Madonna of Paris, and she does not want to open a nursery. Isn't the villa more comfortable than her home?

"This is not a good idea. My house is very simple and I must have neglected the Second Young Master. I'm afraid that's not appropriate."

Xiao Yan and Jiang Lei also came over. The two had been playing together all morning, looking for eggs, riding cows, climbing trees and fishing, having a great time. When they heard the conversation between the two, they immediately ran over.

Xiao Yan was excited: "Sister Jiang, I can adapt to anywhere, just let me live in your house."

Jiang Lei didn't say anything. Although he and Xiao Yan had a lot of fun playing, his family was very busy now. His mother was pregnant and needed to rest, so the house couldn't be too noisy.

Jiang Lei advised: "I don't have any servants at home. You have to do the laundry and make the bed yourself. You won't get used to it."

"Yes, I can do it. I can learn it myself."

After saying that, he looked at Jiang Yue pitifully. The little guy knew very well that the final decision was in Jiang Yue's hands.

"I'll leave Ye San to take care of him. Ye San can wash clothes and cook, and can also help you feed the pigs. In addition..."

Ye San: The master is right, he can indeed do laundry and cooking, but can he do those servants well?

Xiao Che whispered the rest of the words into Jiang Yue's ear: "The capital city may be in chaos for a while. I brought Yan'er to Muchuan, firstly to avoid disaster, and secondly, I really have to go far away for something. Leaving Ye San and Yan'er with you is to protect Xiao Yan and your family."

"...Okay. As long as you feel at ease."

It's because her family's financial resources are controlled by others. With a master like Ye San around, nothing big should go wrong. Don't blame her if anything happens.

"That's great." Xiao Yan jumped and followed Jiang Ming to play.

Xiao Yan really stayed there, and all the food and drink were the same as at home, without any complaints. Cai and Jiang Youshan were naturally welcoming as well.

It was rare for Jiang Lei to meet a playmate with the same temperament as him. Xiao Yan ate and lived with Jiang Lei, and when Jiang Lei went to school, he even followed him to Mr. Cui's school.

Mr. Cui was known for his good temper. After asking Xiao Yan a few questions, he accepted the book and placed it in Jiang Lei's advanced class.

Xiao Che actually planned this and put the child in her house. Jiang Yue looked at the two inseparable people and couldn't help but sigh that it was rare for these two children with huge differences in status, one was the son of a farmer and the other was the son of a marquis, to have a friendship. And in this way, Jiang Lei's family was lucky to have been on good terms with Xiao Yan since childhood.

Her brother liked to pretend to be a little adult to protect her since he was young, but he was actually just a child pretending to be mature. Xiao Yan's arrival aroused the childishness in him.

Xiao Che completely inherited his father's attitude and ignored the government affairs. His parents stayed far away in Beidi County. The ambitious princes in the court wanted to win him over. Now the crown prince was severely suppressed, and the fourth and fifth princes were the most powerful. In order to avoid being involved in this dispute, Xiao Che even resigned from his official position.

However, sometimes not choosing to take sides is also a choice to take sides. It would be fine for him to be alone, but his younger brother must avoid this dispute.

In this way, the ordinary days passed quickly and it was August.
