Since the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the snow has stopped for many days, and the snow on Zhuangzi has almost melted.

As the saying goes: "If it snows and it doesn't get cold, it will turn into cold snow." So now the two little rabbits can only nest in the main room of the east courtyard, not daring to show their heads easily.

Xu Rongrong carved out a corner of the hall, put a thick mattress in the rabbit's nest, and covered it with thatch.

There was a charcoal basin placed next to it, which kept the room warm.

Two rabbits lay leisurely on it drinking goat's milk.

Xu Shi had recovered from the initial panic, so after eating and drinking, they were willing to lie on Xu Rongrong's palm and press their wet noses into her palm.

The soft and cute little thing made Xu Rongrong's heart melt. She became more and more hands-on and took care of it every day.

Mu Rong watched her increasingly skillful movements with a faint smile on his eyes and brows.

Such a harmonious scene made Mu Ai, who had something to report, unable to move for a moment.

Because, from his perspective, this is a proper family of four...

Mu Rong caught a glimpse of him from the corner of his eye: "What's the matter? Why are you so sneaky? Come in and answer!"

Muai: "..."

Is it my fault?

But he was not as courageous as Mu Lu, so he only dared to curse and said hurriedly: "Sir, the snow on Zhuangzi has almost been cleared. The person in charge is waiting over there. I wonder when I will go over to check? "

Xu Rongrong, who was grooming the little rabbit, raised his head when he heard this: "Master Marquis is going to check on the farm work? Please help me quickly."

Seeing her look like she was eager to leave quickly, Mu Rong laughed: "I don't understand farming... They are cleaning it up now not for me. You remember what I told you before, there are some good things on the farm. The lot can be used as a medicine garden? You just sent me there, don’t you go and see for yourself?”

"Oh..." Xu Rongrong blushed a little.

She had been living very comfortably in Zhuangzi these past few days and got two cute rabbits. She had long forgotten about the medicine garden...

It's rare that he still remembers it.

When Mu Rong saw her expression, he knew that his little girl might have gone crazy these days.

So he smiled and tapped her forehead: "Why don't you hurry up and change your clothes."

Xu Rongrong was knocked unexpectedly. She jumped up in fright, threw the two small fur balls in her arms into Mu Rong's arms, and went to the bedroom in a hurry.

Mu Rong was always used to holding knives and swords. He had never taken such care of such a small thing. He stared nervously at the little rabbit in his hand.

The two little ones also stared at him.

It happened that they had been well fed in the past two days, and Mu Rong was not a stranger to them, so they were not afraid.

His palms were a bit rough, not as soft as Xu Rongrong's, so they nudged him with their little noses dissatisfied, with a hint of disgust.

He also scratched his nose harder, which made Mu Rong's hands and heart feel itchy.

How often had he been treated like this? He was so uncomfortable that he wanted to be thrown out.

But when I think of my little girl's love for them, I don't dare to move easily.

For a moment, the whole person froze.

In the end, Mu Ai, who was about to suffer from internal injuries, called Mrs. Xiao in time and rescued her own Marquis.

……

The farm under the name of the Hou Mansion is to the north of the house. After leaving the door, bypassing the road and walking north along the field ridge, you can see a well-worked and bare field in just one cup of tea.

At first glance, it seems that there is no edge.

The steward of Zhuangzi has been waiting here for a long time.

Although he had received the letter on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he knew that Zhuangzi was about to change his master, and that the new master was still the Marquis's unmarried wife.

But after all, men and women are different, so he only met Xu Rongrong when he got off the carriage on the day he arrived.

After that, there was no chance to get close to the new master.

Now that I finally got the opportunity, I worked very hard.

"The villain's surname is Lu. The villain has been working in this village since the old Marquis Weiyuan was here. Therefore, the villagers here politely call the villain Lu Guanshi. The field in front of the county lord is about ten hectares, and all the villains are here. If you have any questions, just ask the county leader directly."

Xu Rongrong thanked him and asked some questions related to rain, land and production.

Growing herbs is similar to food. All you need is fertile soil and sufficient rain.

Manager Lu had already memorized these questions, so he answered: "Our land is divided into two parts. The land next to the mountain is cultivated on the mountain. There is limited sunlight every day, so I will follow the rules of the capital. According to people's preferences, various kinds of orchids were planted. In addition to supplying the daily needs of the Hou Mansion, some precious varieties will also be cultivated in the greenhouse and sold in shops in Beijing. The rest..."

He looked at Mu Rong's face and paused: "Because the villain has limited energy, and the daily needs of the Hou Mansion are provided by the other two Zhuangzi, so this place has been idle..."

When Manager Lu spoke, the first half was organized and the second half hesitant.

Xu Rongrong gave him a strange look.

I caught a glimpse of the pity on Manager Lu's face, as if he was sighing that such a good land was being left idle.

But in fact... the field in front of me is the most fertile and the largest among the three manors!Most of Zhuangzi's annual revenue comes from here, but now, under the arrangement of the Marquis, it is said to be useless.

Manager Lu is complaining about this piece of land.

"I see that the location here is good, why not use it to grow food and vegetables?" Xu Rongrong asked.

"The county owner still knows about farming?" Manager Lu was a little surprised.

"Just a brief understanding of it."

Just as Manager Lu was about to speak, Mu Rong interrupted: "The location here is not good. There are no roads in front or behind, so it is far less convenient for transportation than the other two Zhuangzi."

"That's it." Xu Rongrong nodded.

For her, growing herbs, unlike food, does not require large-scale transportation.

She leaned down slightly, grabbed a handful of ice-crusted soil, and twisted it lightly in her hands.

"Be careful of freezing." Mu Rong whispered.

"Why am I so squeamish?" Xu Rongrong laughed.Then he said to Manager Lu, "The land here is very fertile. It is a pity that it has been left to this point."

Manager Lu: "Who says it's not the case?"

After saying that, he mentally rolled his eyes at Mu Rong.

Xu Rongrong raised his hand to spread the broken soil in his hand, then turned back to look at Mu Rong: "Master Hou is really willing to give me such a good place to grow herbs?"

Mu Rong smiled and said: "As long as Rong Rong likes it, how can I be reluctant to part with it? What's more, this place was originally reserved for you. If the fields that have been abandoned for a long time can be used to make a fortune in the future, it will be considered as living up to it. .”

Xu Rongrong looked at the endless farmland, where both the light and the rain were perfect.

But she only had planting experience in the courtyard of the Hou Mansion in her previous life. Even then, it was thanks to Xu Xiangnan's help.Now...she was a little scared to be in charge of such a large field.

If it fails, then the entire village of Zhuangzi will not have enough to eat.

Thinking of this, she lowered her head and said, "But I don't have much experience, so I might betray the trust of the Marquis and everyone."

"Rong Rong, why should you belittle yourself? You are an extremely smart woman and proficient in herbal medicine. No one is more suitable than you. What's more, isn't there a helper in Rong Rong's house?" Mu Rong said with a smile.

"Help?" Xu Rongrong was stunned.

"Rong Rong will not forget Xu Xiangnan, right? When the Xu Mansion was building the flower garden, I asked him to come over from the Hou Mansion to help, and he has been staying in the Xu Mansion to take care of the flower garden since then. But in fact, in addition to planting flowers and plants, the herbal medicine He also has a lot of experience. You might as well let him try it. I believe that with you two here, the southern suburbs medicinal garden will become famous all over the world sooner or later. "

When he spoke, he was full of confidence in her.

Xu Rongrong was stunned.

It turns out that he knows Xu Xiangnan's ability?

Previously, when she saw Xu Xiangnan appearing in the flower garden of Xu Mansion, immersed in studying flowers and plants, she felt that he was overqualified and unworthy, and even thought that Mu Rong did not understand his true value.

But today it seems...

He actually knew it already.

What about past lives?When she suddenly started growing herbs in the Hou Mansion, Xu Xiangnan, who had an aloof personality, suddenly reached out to her for help.

Was he out of pity for her, an unpopular side wife?

Or is it like this life, was it arranged by someone?

She looked at Mu Rong blankly, motionless.

Manager Lu on the side was a little confused when he saw this, so Mu Rong waved his hand to ask him to leave.

There is no one else here.

Seeing his little girl dumbfounded, Mu Rong smiled and waved his hand in front of her eyes: "How? I have so much confidence in Rong Rong, but Rong Rong shouldn't want to back down now, right?"

As soon as Xu Rongrong came back to her senses, she was dazzled by the smile in front of her.

Thinking of Mu Rong's precise words, I also thought of Manager Lu's hesitation just now.

How could Xu Rongrong not understand this?He had already secretly arranged some things about fields being abandoned and asking her for help...

He knew that she was going to open a medicine shop, and he must have also known that the "Tao Gong" hidden behind the medicine shop in the eight alleys of the capital was himself.

This Zhuangzi is to solve her supply worries.

Thinking of how he had planned everything from giving out gifts on New Year's Eve to inviting her to come to the southern suburbs with him until now, and everything was for her.

It was suddenly difficult for her to look directly at the person in front of her.

So, she lowered her head and lowered her voice:

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Marquis. The farm here is very suitable for me, but I also have a request. If Lord Marquis can agree to it, I will accept the farm."

"Rong Rong, please speak."

"I would also like to ask the Marquis to take back the remaining two farms in the southern suburbs and return them to the name of the Marquis. I will use this farm to research and grow medicinal herbs, but if there is no output within a year, I also ask the Marquis to take it back; if there is any output, , then all the profits will be divided in half between me and the Marquis."

When Mu Rong heard this, he raised the corners of his mouth, but the smile in his eyes was not there: "Does Rong Rong want to settle things with me so clearly?"

Xu Rongrong murmured: "I just don't want to owe Mr. Hou too much."

If you owe too much, you won't be able to get out.
