Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her

"You can't?" Sister Hua looked at Xiao Chenze disappointedly. "Okay, if you can drive a carriage, that's fine too. If you can drive a carriage, you can drive cattle. After we finish the work in the fields, we need to make compost. Let your cousin help with the composting. If we don't have enough cattle, we can use your horses. Look how good these horses are, fat and strong. They are definitely stronger than our cattle and mules..."

"Sister Hua, Sister Hua," Shen Li interrupted her sweet dream and said with a smile, "Our horses can't work in the fields, and neither of us go to work in the fields. When we are with the master, we also have maids to serve us."

"I'm staying here with you, not for a maid, but I'm giving you money so I can have good food and drink. I wonder if you can do that? If you can, we'll stay here peacefully. If not, we'll leave now and look for other farms. I think there should be some willing to take us in."

When Sister Hua heard her words, her face changed. She slapped herself and said with a smile, "What nonsense! I was just joking. You two look like you come from wealthy families. How could I really ask you to do the rough work in the fields? Don't worry, not only you two won't have to do it, your horses won't either."

"Okay, then it's settled," Shen Li deliberately smiled in a less enthusiastic manner. She had to give this kind of person a warning, otherwise she wouldn't know what propriety meant. "Can you guarantee that there will be both meat and vegetables for our daily meals?"

Are there both meat and vegetables?

Before she even started eating, Sister Hua was already heartbroken.

"I can... I can guarantee it," she squeezed the purse Shen Li gave her again, estimating that there was more than ten taels of silver, not to mention just staying for a few days, even for a year, "don't worry, I guarantee that you will be satisfied with the food and accommodation."

"Thank you, Sister Hua and Brother Du." Shen Li looked overjoyed and turned to glance at Xiao Chenze, who had a gloomy face.

I wanted to laugh, but I couldn't.

He was almost ordered to farm just now. It's a pity that the eldest prince didn't kill him on the spot.

A haggard-looking woman hurried past.

Sister Hua stopped her in annoyance and said, "Xiu'er, go to the backyard and catch a chicken. Quickly clean it up and stew it for these two distinguished guests."

The girl named Xiu'er stopped, lowered her head and said nothing. She nodded every time Hua Sao said something. When Hua Sao finished speaking, she turned around and left when she saw that she had no more instructions.

"Where are you going? Is that the backyard?" Sister Hua didn't care whether she was in front of Shen Li or not, she cursed: "Who are you looking at with such a distraught look all day long? If you do something wrong as I asked you to do, get out of here as soon as possible, or I'll poke my eyes out when I see you, you unlucky star."

Xiu'er stopped, looked ahead, then turned and walked towards the backyard.

Shen Li frowned and narrowed his eyes.

When she arrived at the arranged house, it was quite clean. Xiao Chenze lived next door to her.

There aren't so many rules in the countryside. No one here knows that wealthy families, regardless of whether they are masters or servants, men and women must live in separate courtyards.

Sister Hua followed the two of them until Shen Li said she was tired and wanted to rest for a while, then she smiled and left with the box of snacks.

As soon as the person left, Shen Li locked the door from the inside and slipped into the space.

Xiao Chenze was waiting for her next door. When he saw her come out, he frowned and asked, "Is this your family's farm? Something doesn't seem right."

"Yes," Shen Li said, "something is not right. When we left here, we didn't have enough money to buy servants to work. Only Brother Dayong was here. Oh, and there was also a big yellow dog."

Shen Li was delighted when she suddenly thought of the big yellow dog.

When there is no one around at night, go out and look for the big yellow dog. If you have any questions, you can ask it.

"But I don't recognize anyone here. The key is that these two guys who claim to be the owners are obviously not good people. How did the manor end up in their hands? Where did Brother Dayong go? What happened? I have to investigate."

"Will your brother Dayong sell the farm and run away with the money?"

"Impossible, Brother Dayong is not that kind of person. If he wanted to run away, he would have done it long ago. Back then, my mother and I suffered so much here, but he didn't run away. Now even my uncle has come to support him. Where would he run to?"

"That's strange," Xiao Chenze thought for a moment and said, "Let's go out and take a look."

Shen Li reached out and pulled him into the space.

The two men went up to the roof and looked out through the fog.

It was still early and there were many people working in the fields. Most of them were busy loosening the soil and applying fertilizer, while a small number were busy carrying grain to the warehouse.

Some people were harvesting vegetables in the fields. A group of women in coarse clothes were talking and working, their hands busy all the time.

"Your farm is not barren. You should have been able to grow something in the past. How come there is not enough food?" Xiao Chenze asked curiously as he looked at it.

"We depend on the weather for food, which means it's either floods or droughts. Moreover, my mother was always sick at that time, and the crops we grew in the fields were worthless. We couldn't even afford to pay for medicine or a doctor even after we sold all the crops in the fields."

Speaking of this, Shen Li wanted to slap Shen Zhaojiang in the face.

"Fortunately, you didn't come to possess a dead body at that time, otherwise you would have to suffer so much." Xiao Chenze suddenly said this.

Again!

Shen Li pretended not to hear and raised the space, and the entire village appeared before his eyes.

It was the first time Xiao Chenze looked down from such a height. The land beneath his feet was split into pieces like a chessboard. The people working in the fields became dwarfs from ancient books. The curling smoke from cooking stoves was blown away by the wind before it even reached his feet. The woman named Hua Sao rolled from side to side like a short melon, without stopping.

"The layout looks the same as before," Shen Li said from behind him. "The overall changes haven't been significant. The one tied up at the back is the big yellow dog. We didn't tie it up before and let it run around freely. Something must have happened. Let's be careful."

They were already in the sky, so Shen Li simply took him to look around the village, the nearby villages, and the villages farther away. When they felt it was almost time to prepare dinner, they returned to the house.

Just as I sat down, I heard someone knocking on the door. "The meal is ready, please have dinner, Miss Fang."

The voice was not young, but timid and not verbose.

When Shen Li opened the door, she saw the woman named Xiu'er.

When Xiu'er saw Shen Li coming out, she hurriedly asked her to look at the tray in her hand and asked softly, "Miss Fang, are you eating in your own room? Or in Brother Chu's room?"

Seeing that Shen Li didn't understand, he hurriedly explained, "The food is simple, and there are not so many good plates to serve it, so I didn't serve you and Brother Chu separately."

At this point she looked up at Shen Li, then lowered her head again, "If you find it inconvenient, I can take it back and separate it for you and then bring it back."

"No need, it's not inconvenient at all," Shen Li said with a smile, "Just bring it in, I'll call my brother over to eat later."

"Yes." Xiu'er breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, it’s not that there aren’t enough bowls and plates, but that Mrs. Hua doesn’t allow it.

Mrs. Hua said that these two people were not the masters, but they were servants. It was good enough to cook for them for the sake of the money, and there was no need to be so particular.

Just now, she was really afraid that these two people would force her to go back and serve the food separately.

Then Sister Hua would scold her for not being able to do anything right.

She didn't dare to offend Mrs. Hua, let alone these two people. Once she offended them and couldn't make money from them, Mrs. Hua would go crazy.

Crazy Sister Hua will drive her away.

She couldn't leave, she had to wait here for her brother Dayong to come back.
