In the garden passage, there was a table and three stools on the west side, as well as writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone.

The four treasures of the study were bought by Zhuqing and Caiyun when Liu Rusi was in Xingzhou. They were cheap and in large quantities but still usable. I felt a little embarrassed to bring them to Yue Lin and his wife...

But it is just right for the guards to learn to write. After all, the paper written by beginners is not good-looking when used to paste walls, and it is not good-looking when used to wipe butts! Basically, they are just put in the stove and burned!

You should know that these papers and inks are considered cheap, with an ingot of ink costing three cents, and two cents for three hundred sheets of paper. Including pens, inkstones, and books, the average monthly consumption per person is nearly one or two taels!

In an era when the average monthly salary was 500 yuan, she had to spend 1,000 yuan a month on a person's education! And that was just the enlightenment education provided by a tutor! When Qin Lie was around, her family was considered a small wealthy peasant with a monthly income of over 10,000 yuan. She was reluctant to spend money on Qin Hao...

If she hadn't suddenly become a multimillionaire and didn't want to appear too stingy, she would have given everyone a sandbox...

"When people are born, their nature is good. Natures are similar, but habits make them different."

Xue Fei handed the two pieces of paper she had written to the two of them. On them were neat and regular characters. She then said, "Let's learn these twelve characters today. I'll explain their meanings first..."

Seeing that they had a learning atmosphere, Liu Rusi felt relieved.

This place is actually a bit casual. Next to the table is the hay room. Like the harness and farm tool room opposite, one side is open with only a curtain to cover it.

Liu Rusi opened it and took a look. It was about 15 square meters. Half of the space against the wall was filled with various hays, piled up almost as high as the beams. In the outer corner there were many baskets of oats, corn and other grains... It seemed no different from raising cattle.

Thinking of this, she picked up a handful of sorghum straw, put it on the guillotine in the middle of the hay room, and chopped the hay into pieces into a large basin next to it...

"Madam?" Xue Fei.

"Madam, what are you doing?" Mao Ba.

Xue Fei lifted a corner of the curtain and looked at Liu Rusi with surprise.

"It's okay. I'll just get some fodder and feed the horses for fun." Liu Rusi quickly put down the chopper. She had already finished cutting what she was doing. Then she scooped some soybeans and barley from the basket next to her and poured them into the large basin.

She picked up the basin and said with a smile, "You guys go ahead, the prince didn't say that I can't feed the horses, did he?"

Xue Fei shook her head. The three people at the table watched Liu Rusi carry the basin to the stable, not knowing whether to stand or sit...

The stable was more than 20 meters long, and the two horses pulling the cart were facing the passage. When Liu Rusi came over, she discovered that there was another pony in the corner on the west side near the backyard...

This should be Qin Hao's horse, but it seems that Qin Hao has not taken care of this pony since coming to the capital.

This little bit of grass is really just for feeding the horses for fun, not enough to fill them up, but originally I wanted to feed the two big horses... Liu Rusi walked towards the pony, not knowing its name, so she said: "Slurp, slurp, slurp!"

The pony's eyes were very smart. He first moved his eyes and ears, then tilted his head, and then strolled to the trough and looked at her.

"You're so cute!" Liu Rusi praised in a low voice and poured the grass in the basin into the trough.

The pony looked at her again before moving forward to the trough and chewing slowly. Watching the little animals eat the food you feed them mouthful by mouthful, there is a sense of joy.

She reached out her hand carefully and tentatively, touching the pony's forehead. Seeing that it just raised its eyes timidly, Liu Rusi felt relieved and gently stroked the pony's head and twitching ears.

Watch it finish eating everything in the trough.

"Okay, I'm leaving."

Liu Rusi picked up the empty basin, patted its forehead and said, "Don't worry, I will ask Qin Hao to come and play with you every day in the future."

After feeding the horses for only a quarter of an hour, Liu Rusi put the empty basin back into the hay room, glanced at Maoliu Maoba, and found that they were still learning to use a pen... At this time, we cannot say writing, we can only say drawing.

He gave Xue Fei an encouraging look and whispered in her ear, "You can also come over with your book. It's boring to just wait for them to study."

Liu Rusi turned around and saw rows of empty planting boxes, so she walked along the path towards the guards' courtyard. She had to ask them to go out and dig some soil... As she walked on the road, she found that her life was finally fulfilling again. It was no longer like the life in Prince Duan's mansion where she just waited for food and sleep every day.

There was no one in the guardhouse, so Liu Rusi passed by the gatehouse and went to the main gate to look for someone. If you want to give out bonuses, you have to find someone.

Scored twice.

And I happened to meet Chu Shiyu coming in...

Glancing at him, Liu Rusi passed him by and walked towards Mao Wu and Mao Qi who were guarding the gate today and asked, "Does your guarding position change every day?"

Maowu and Maoqi looked terrified, and the face of the prince behind them was as black as charcoal!

Liu Rusi turned back again and glared at Chu Shiyu unhappily.

So Chu Shiyu snorted softly, turned his head and stopped putting pressure on others for the time being.

Mao Wu swallowed his saliva and said carefully, "Yes, we are divided into four posts, the Daytime Gate, the Night Gate, the Night Queen, and the Day Queen. The eight of us are also divided into four groups, taking turns to be on duty."

Although it was a six-hour shift, double-shift work was common in modern times. Liu Rusi nodded and said, "It's quite reasonable."

"That's right! Your Majesty is wise and has arranged everything for us!" Mao Qi flattered him hurriedly.

Liu Rusi originally wanted to make some minor adjustments for them, leaving one person free to rest... He was praising Chu Shiyu so much, if he did so, it would be like slapping him in the face...

"Hmm...did you and Uji fix all those planter boxes yesterday?"

"There are still one, three, four, and seven. Yesterday, Mao Liu and Mao Ba were guarding the gate and couldn't leave..." Mao Wu carefully observed the expressions of Madam Liu and the prince.

"How much did you spend yesterday?" Liu Rusi still wanted to know about the prices.

Mao Wu's expression suddenly froze, and he looked around at his two masters in panic.

"You did a great job! It's reasonable to spend more money to get things done faster!" Liu Rusi quickly comforted him, "I just want to be more careful about my own affairs. I'll trouble you with something later. I hope you can do it quickly and well!"

Mao Wu was relieved and complimented him: "Madam, there is no need to bother! It is my duty to do things for my master! That is it..."

"Yesterday I went to the lumber shop in the south city. Mao Er asked for a large piece of pine board as requested by my wife, and asked the shop owner to send it back by donkey cart..."

"Just tell me, a total of twenty taels?" Liu Rusi deliberately guessed a high price. If it was really higher than this, then... at most she would not fine him because he was quick enough.

"No! No! How can a broken donkey cart made of pine wood be worth twenty taels? It's only two taels and one cent!" Mao Wu hurriedly told the truth, which was better than his wife's blind guess!

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I thought..." Liu Rusi joked as she rummaged through her purse and took out a three-ounce silver coin and handed it over.

Actually, I originally wanted to reward them with ten taels, but with the two taels and one tael yesterday, the most I could get as a kickback would be one tael. They have worked so hard to pick up this little change... The reward is too much all at once. I don’t know if they will be unbalanced. I will observe various small things in the future and reward them slowly.

Liu Rusi said jokingly, "I was thinking that if you spend too much, I won't give you any bonus money! You can give points according to your efforts. Don't mind, right?"

Mao Wu's eyes were bright, but he glanced at Prince Duan first. Seeing that he lowered his eyes to show his agreement, he quickly raised his hands to hold the food in his hands, and said excitedly: "Oh, look at what Madam said. Madam appreciates us. I am so happy!"

"That's good. Remember to buy some snacks for Liu and Ba who were busy yesterday." Liu Rusi smiled and did not touch his hand. She put the change into his palm from two inches away.

After giving her the prize, she continued, "By the way, I need to fill the planting frames with soil. Don't compact it, just make sure it's loose enough to cover the frame opening. Can anyone of you go outside the city and dig some for me? It's not urgent, I can just finish it tomorrow night."

Mao Wu nodded, but Mao Qi beside him paused and asked hesitantly: "Madam, do you have any requirements for the soil?"

Liu Rusi blinked her eyes, thinking that digging the soil was not profitable and they didn't want to go, so she shook her head slightly and said, "Anything that can grow things is fine."

"Then I'll go to Phoenix Mountain in the southwest to dig! The soil over there is used for growing flowers in the palace! I grow flowers in the palace, and the camellia flowers I grow are big and beautiful!" Mao Qi said with great joy. Just by looking at his expression, you can tell that the flowers he grows must be extremely beautiful.

Liu Rusi wanted to say shamefully that she was just growing vegetables... but the soil that was good for growing flowers should also be good for growing vegetables, so she asked hesitantly, "Is Phoenix Mountain far away? How much does the soil there cost?"

"Madam, what are you talking about? A few pieces of soil don't cost much. Leave it to me. I'll go ask Mao Si to take over the shift and rent a donkey cart. He'll be back before dark!" Mao Qi smiled and pointed with his index finger, then turned around and went to the guardhouse in the main courtyard to call for help.

"No need to call Mao Siding, go to the stable and ask Yiwu to guard the main gate."

Chu Shiyu pulled Liu Rusi over, as he had ignored him for too long... and then added, "Let Yijiu lead two horses with you to buy a truck first, as you may need it in the future."

The matter of guarding the courtyard was discussed, and Liu Rusi was pulled towards the main courtyard for a while before she thought of breaking free. It seemed that there were too many things about Chu Shiyu that she was used to... For example, she no longer felt it was wrong when he held her hand.

"Why, you talk so much to the guard, but you have nothing to say to me?" He made a sour accusation.

Liu Rusi rolled her eyes at him speechlessly and muttered to herself, what kind of relationship do they have now?

From innocent to depraved, if there is an indicator, then ten points have reached nine, except for the last one... Thinking of this, Liu Rusi felt a little embarrassed! She shook her hand away even harder!

"Don't be angry! I'm not questioning you, I just want you to pay more attention to me." Chu Shiyu came up to hug her, not knowing whether it was to comfort her or because he was itching to do so...

Liu Rusi felt even more embarrassed. After pushing him, she realized that he was holding a small box in his other hand. She changed the subject and asked, "What is this?"

Chu Shiyu also relaxed his grip, opened the box and said, "There were supposed to be sixty-six gold beads in the box yesterday... but the person who packed the box took away sixteen."

"No need. There are enough of them already. I will just put them in the box." Liu Rusi was really a little greedy. She didn't even care about the shiny gold beads.

"You have to accept these twenty-five pills! You have to put them in a box! To show that you are sending them together!" Chu Shiyu asked seriously.

"Why? I've already given you a thousand taels in total, is this few dozen taels missing?" Liu Rusi asked curiously.

"Just calculate what we just did yesterday and add sixteen." Chu Shiyu said seriously.

"One thousand two hundred and sixty-six," Liu Rusi reported quickly.

Chu Shiyu leaned over, eyes full of tenderness, and read word by word: "One, two, six, six."

Liu Rusi was stunned for a moment, and finally realized! Damn! It's a pun!

"I love Liuliu!" - Daxia currently has no idea how to pronounce it.

So tacky! But it should have been quite novel in the feudal era... It's numb! My scalp is numb! The blush dyed her charming little face, and Liu Rusi didn't know what to do with her hands and feet for a moment!

This reaction of hers was quite new to Chu Shiyu. He couldn't help but feel a warm sensation in his heart. He pecked her red lips in a possessive posture, and then he got up before she got angry!

Just squat down, put your arms under her hips, and pick her up with one hand!

Liu Rusi was startled and quickly supported his shoulders, then found that Chu Shiyu was walking towards the warehouse! And next to the warehouse was the study!

"What are you doing? Mr. Yue is teaching Qin Hao over there!"

Chu Shiyu put it down immediately, but not because of what she said, but because he wanted to enter the corridor. The entrance of the corridor was a little low and it seemed that it would hit her head.

It’s better to take her back to the palace to live in the future. The doors in the palace are relatively high.

After rolling her eyes so many times, she was too lazy to do it anymore. Liu Rusi took out the key and opened the door, then opened the box and motioned to Chu Shiyu to pour out the beads.

But Chu Shiyu didn't pour it out. Instead, he took out ten and put them in first, then started to put one in and said, "One, two, five, two."

"One, two, five, three."

He's sick again! Liu Rusi crossed her arms and waited patiently for him to recover.

"One Two Six Five"

While filling the box with gold beads, Rui Fengyan would occasionally steal glances at the beauty. This action... was too spectacular...

"I love Liuliu!"

Chu Shiyu deliberately pronounced the words clearly!

When putting the last golden bead in, Ruifeng looked straight into the pair of bright and shining almond eyes.

It’s so numb... Such a long preparation just for this!

Liu Rusi walked forward with goosebumps on her skin, looked at Chu Shiyu who was still half-kneeling on the ground, and said softly and seriously: "Since we left Dongshan Village, you and I know each other's needs very well, I know your intentions..."

"I know. Lock the box and let's go out." Chu Shiyu interrupted her, not wanting to hear her rejection. This was a familiar rejection rhythm, but he was used to it. He would try harder in the future...

Liu Rusi raised her eyebrows and asked faintly, "Are you sure?"

Ruifeng's eyes flickered. Is there something wrong?

isn't it? !

"Rusi...what...did you want to say...just now..." The deep voice stuttered and sounded a little silly.

"Don't get excited. It's not what you think." Liu Rusi patted his shoulder and motioned him to calm down.

Then she squatted down, looked me in the face and said, "Now, the life you gave me still has many things I don't want. I'm not sure how to balance the pursuit of the life I want and facing your feelings..."

Two big hands tightly grasped her shoulders! Her breathing became heavy!

He knew that this meant she still had to consider it! But from the endless night to the dawn, this was a complete upheaval from nothing to something! And as long as she saw the dawn, this sun, he would definitely let her rise!

"Let go, it hurts..." Liu Rusi felt like her shoulders were about to be crushed!

Chu Shiyu immediately let go, but changed his grip to a hug! He hugged the person tightly! He was so strong that he wanted to rub him into his body!

"If you want to strangle me... to death, use a little more force..." Liu Rusi gasped with difficulty.

He felt a little relieved, but he felt very embarrassed. The joy in his heart was about to explode! But he didn't know how to vent it!

"I'm not done yet!"

Liu Rusi looked serious and quickly said the key words: "I hope you can give us some time to think carefully about whether we are suitable for each other. The problem between us is not only our own... but I also want to give Qin Lie an explanation."

Chu Shiyu's joy faded slightly. He had once guessed this and thought it was a beautiful thought at the time! But since he knew that Qin Lie was in love with him... Hehe.

However, she couldn't know this. He asked softly, "How long will it take you?"

Liu Rusi lowered her eyes slightly, obviously thinking about it now, and said after a few breaths: "Three years."

"Is it three years from now, or three years from the time Qin Lie passes away?" Chu Shiyu felt it necessary to clarify the terms. The difference is twice as much!

Her almond eyes glared, and she angrily shouted, "Can you please stop mentioning Qin Lie?"

“No... you just mentioned it yourself..." Chu Shiyu felt a little aggrieved after being reprimanded. Is it possible for the officials to set fires?

Liu Rusi glared at him in annoyance, and said awkwardly, "A thief...why do you always mention the owner's name?"

Chu Shiyu curled his lips secretly. He once thought that he was a thief, but now he understood that it was the victim who gave it to him!

"Starting from March 3rd of last year, for three years, I have been waiting for your answer." Chu Shiyu went ahead and finalized the details.

Liu Rusi looked up at him for a long time and nodded slightly.
