A crown princess who doesn't do infrastructure construction isn't a good doctor.

"Lanfeng, move over a bit, I'll pour this water here to rinse it off."

Yesterday's heavy rain left a lot of muddy water flowing out from under the sycamore trees, staining the stone slabs and making them look rather dirty.

The water used to soak the flower seeds is still clean after use, and the remaining medicine is good for plants. It can also be used to rinse the ground, and after it seeps in, it can fertilize the soil for the sycamore trees. The amount is small, but it's better than nothing.

Qin Suiyou was organizing the tools for germinating flower seeds, while Liu Jia and the others were helping to sort the mixed-up flower seeds they had bought. He wanted to ask Jinwen and other stronger men to pour water, but before Qin Suiyou could call anyone, Jinzhu took matters into her own hands.

The wide-mouthed wooden basin, filled with half a basin of water, wasn't very heavy, but it was inconvenient to lift. Jinzhu seemed to be lifting it quite easily, but she was bound to get her clothes dirty, so Luoxian got up to help her.

While Jinzhu was placing the wooden basin on the ground, her armbands loosened a bit. As she tightened them, Luo Xian thought that pouring water would be easy, so she prepared to pour the water herself to rinse the stone floor.

Suddenly, Liu Yao appeared out of nowhere.

"Wait, wait, I'll do it."

Before Luo Xian could react, Liu Yao swiftly and evenly splashed water onto the ground, and a faint medicinal fragrance mixed with floral scent gradually filled the air.

"This isn't a job that I'm really struggling with, why are you so eager to do it?"

Luo Xian frowned slightly and asked, while Lan Feng, who was digging in the mud on Qin Suiyou's orders, also tilted his head in a questioning manner.

Jinzhu wasn't talkative, but she looked at Liu Yao with a puzzled expression. In her opinion, Luo Xian helped her because the wooden basin was wide and it was easy for one person to get their clothes dirty, which was understandable. However, there was no such concern when it came to pouring water, so she didn't understand why Liu Yao was vying for it.

"Forehead……"

Liu Yao was a bit flustered at this moment and didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, Du Heng came out to help him out of the predicament. "Oh dear, it's just that our Liu Yao is hardworking. But he's clumsy and would only cause trouble if he did those delicate tasks like picking flowers and planting them. He can only help you with some things to lighten your burden."

"Yes, that's right, that's right."

Although Liu Yao felt that there was something slightly off about Du Heng's words, she couldn't figure it out, so she could only smile sheepishly and express her agreement.

Luo Xian's eyes still held suspicion, but she couldn't question someone just because they had helped her. Besides, there was still something to do inside. She acknowledged that she understood and then went inside with Jin Zhu and Lan Feng, who had collected the mud.

Du Heng and Liu Yao stood there, looked at each other, and then Du Heng patted Liu Yao on the shoulder and said, "Keep up the good work, but remember to be a little cunning too."

In the room.

After Qin Suiyou had Lan Feng hand the mud to Lu Yu, Lu Yu took the mud and went into the inner room.

Seeing that the flower seeds were almost sorted, Qin Suiyou asked, "Losen, is the shelf ready?"

When Qin Suiyou returned to the mansion yesterday, he thought he needed a smaller shelf to put the flower seeds that were germinating in the water room, which was slightly warmer and had a smaller temperature difference because the water was always boiling. So he asked Lan Feng to go and see if there was a smaller shelf.

After Lawson stopped Lan Feng, he looked at Qin Suiyou and said, "The shelves commonly used in the mansion are usually quite large and take up a lot of space in the water room. I know some carpentry and making shelves is not complicated. I can make some according to your requirements."

Qin Suiyou was happy to see his subordinates have a special skill and encouraged them to make good use of it. So he not only told Lawson the specifications and dimensions, but also drew a sketch for him.

Looking at the sketch, Lawson's eyes shone with excitement. The shelf drawn on it was different from the existing rigid shelves that took up a lot of space when folded up. Instead, it was foldable and could be stored away. Moreover, each shelf could be expanded by lifting two wooden strips and splicing them together.

"Tomorrow is just to keep the flower seeds warm in the water room, so we don't need a large capacity. Just hurry up and get the main body that can hold things out."

Qin Suiyou gave these instructions, but after receiving the task, Lawson was very enthusiastic. He stayed up all night and made the complete frame shown in the drawing, and even carved patterns on it.

"We need it today, so there's no time to apply the lacquer. If you still need it, my lord, I'll make some more and apply the lacquer so it can last longer."

Satisfied with Lawson's efficiency, Qin Suiyou praised, "This is very good. You're very capable to have done it so quickly."

Qin Suiyou's sketches actually required some parts to be made of metal, but Lawson mostly changed them to wood, which required a lot more work. Lawson is indeed quite capable to be able to finish them in one night.

Lawson: "My father used to be the only carpenter in the village. Villagers would come to my father to make any kind of woodenware. I grew up surrounded by it, and when I got older, I helped my father with some work, so I have some experience."

Qin Suiyou nodded to indicate that he understood, and then said, "There's no need to make the wooden frame anymore. You can think about some of its key features and see if you can make something else from it."

Upon hearing this, Lawson seemed to understand, nodded, and said, "Thank you for your guidance, sir."

Afterwards, they took the prepared items to the water room, where Qin Suiyou provided guidance while the others carried out their respective tasks.

"The flower seeds don't need to be spread out too far; just spread them evenly."

Luo Xian laid a white cotton cloth on the winnowing basket and was putting flower seeds on it when she heard Qin Suiyou give her these instructions.

"Yes."

While Luo Xian was busy, a head would occasionally peek inside the washroom before disappearing back out.

Qin Suiyou silently walked to the door and caught Liu Yao, who was about to look inside again.

"What are you looking at?"

"Right, Righteous Lord!"

Liu Yao was startled by the sudden sound and immediately stood up straight from her half-squatting position.

"I'm asking you, what are you looking at?"

Qin Suiyou spoke calmly, but Liu Yao, whose mind was not always clear, sensed a serious threat if she did not answer properly.

"I... I just wanted to see if there was anything I could help with. Um... I'm very strong, so please feel free to ask me for any tasks you need."

After looking him over, Qin Suiyou said, "Hmm, I can see that, but there's nothing for you to do here for now."

After saying that, he waved his hand, indicating that Liu Yao could leave.

Liu Yao swallowed hard and said, "Well then, I'll be going now. Remember to let me know if you need anything, Zhengjun."

Then, he walked away from the water room, looking back every few steps.

After seeing that Luo Xian had almost finished, Qin Suiyou looked around the water room and asked Zhu Yu, who was adding firewood to the stove, "How is the work of boiling water arranged in the water room?"

The young man sitting on the small stool in front of him was obviously very tall, but unlike Liu Yao, he was not as strong. His long arms and legs made him look thin, and with his pale skin, he looked like a frail scholar.

Zhu Yu stood up, raised his face which was red from being roasted by the stove fire, and said, "Reporting to my lord, we each take turns on duty for one day."

"ten people?"

Zhu Yu replied, "That's right."

Qin Suiyou nodded, "Alright, it should be your turn to be on duty in ten days. By then, the sprouting should be basically done. Remember to remind me."

"Yes."

After explaining everything that needed to be explained, Qin Suiyou led a few people to Yuqing Courtyard.
