Wealth and glory seek stability

Lin Yun's various behaviors prove that she is not from this era.

And it seems that just like Lou Muran, she traveled through time physically, so why did she come here as a soul?

This is too incredible.

When Shen Nanxing heard that Jian Xi had returned, he had been waiting at the door for a long time.

"Xi'er, you're back. Come on, I'll take you around our house."

Jian Xi stopped Shen Nanxing's movements, "Brother, tell me the truth, does Miss Lin like you?"

Shen Nanxing scratched his head and said puzzledly: "I don't know. Lin Yun is always in a hurry and just follows Yan Hua around. She also talks a lot when she sees me. Yan Hua likes her very much and will probably marry her soon."

Jian Xi really wanted to poke this silly brother's brain, wondering when he would learn to be more careful.

It's obvious that Lin Yun likes Shen Nanxing and has no interest in Baili Yanhua.

"I advise you to go and make it clear with Master San. I just met Miss Lin and found that she doesn't seem to like Master San. It may be that Master San is just wishful thinking. Don't make a mistake." Jian Xi looked at Shen Nanxing with a strange expression and asked uncertainly, "I think Miss Lin likes you very much."

Shen Nanxing said righteously, "Impossible. A friend's wife should not be bullied. Yan Hua and I are good brothers. I will not like Lin Yun."

"Then what kind of woman do you like?" Jian Xi's pretty face suddenly came into view, and Shen Nanxing's face turned red.

"I, I like people like Xier, who are kind, considerate, understanding, and good at cooking..." When talking about Jian Xi's advantages, Shen Nanxing seemed to have his Ren and Du meridians opened up, and he talked incessantly.

Jian Xi shook off the goose bumps on her body. Is this talking about her?

Could it be——?

"You don't like me, do you?" Jian Xi was ready. If Shen Nanxing dared to say yes, she would smash his head off.

"No, I only have brotherly and sisterly feelings towards Xier, but I think you are very much like my mother."

Again.

God is like his mother.

It’s still the same Shen Nanxing.

"Forget it. I won't ask you anymore. Let's go eat. We're all tired after a busy day." After saying that, he did not forget to instruct Xiaoshuang and Sujie, "You also go back to eat. Let Zicui and Yulan come over." Jian Xi was determined to be a boss with a conscience and would never let his subordinates go hungry.

"Yes, girl." Xiaoshuang and Sujie were both deeply moved.

The chefs in the General's Mansion are all royal chefs assigned to Shen Nanxing by Emperor Xuanyuan. Their cooking skills are much better than those in Prince Wu'an's Mansion.

Even with Jian Xi's picky mouth, she couldn't find any fault with it.

In such a huge mansion, there were only two people having dinner together.

Jian Xi couldn't help but think how lively it would be if Shen Nanxing got married and had children.

As soon as this thought came to her mind, Jian Xi felt a chill. Why was she becoming more and more like an old woman? Was it really because her heart was getting old? !

No, I must go out and have some fun to relax.

"Brother, I need your help with something."

Shen Nanxing raised his head from his bowl and said, "Just tell me what you want to say. There's no need to be so polite between us."

Jian Xi expressed her plan, "I want to learn horse riding."

"Okay, there's a big open space in the backyard. I'll ask Master Wu to teach you tomorrow." This was just a small problem for Shen Nanxing. He didn't think there was anything wrong for a woman to learn horse riding. Instead, he was happy that Jian Xi also liked horse riding.

Jian Xi raised her lips and smiled, "That would be great."

Finally I can learn to ride a horse!

On the second day, Shen Nanxing went to the Beijing Suburbs City Defense Camp early to hand over military affairs.

Butler Liu dutifully handed over the entire palace's account details and the warehouse keys to Jian Xi.

Jian Xi looked through the account books and was quite satisfied.

"Excuse me, Steward Liu. I will ask my subordinate Steward Qi to take care of the manor given by His Majesty. Please tell the head of the manor that I will invite the agricultural officer to give lectures at the manor every month. All the tenants in the manor must attend the lectures. I will ask Steward Qi to transfer the rice seeds to the manor before the spring plowing. The head of the manor will listen to Steward Qi's orders from now on."

Lei Zi is good at managing the farm. In recent years, his two younger brothers have also become successful and are of useful age.

Liu Rui said respectfully: "Yes."

The servants in the general's mansion were all rewarded by Emperor Xuanyuan. Jian Xi didn't know the details and could only investigate slowly.

There was nothing wrong with the account books, all that remained was to take inventory of the warehouse.

Jian Xi waved Liu Rui away.

She rubbed her brows to relieve her eyestrain. The staff in the general's mansion were relatively simple, with only two formal masters, her and Shen Nanxing. There was nothing special to pay attention to. The servants below were either those who had signed death contracts or were confiscated from official slaves, so they were easy to control.

Jian Xi only took one morning to sort out the complicated affairs.

As for the rest, she planned to train a few of her little girls and let them take the lead.

Workplace Rule No. 5: A leader who likes to do everything by himself is not a good leader!

There is only one final result of taking everything into your own hands -

That means being worked to death!

in the afternoon.

Master Wu sent by Shen Nanxing arrived.

Jian Xi changed into a red riding suit, put on knee pads and wrist guards, and tied her long black hair neatly behind her head, with only a rhododendron flower in her hairpin to embellish it, which was as bright as the autumn moon and had a natural beauty.

"You are such a beautiful girl." Xing's mother is good at combing hair. Jian Xi is pretty, and she looks good in any casual bun.

Zi Cui held up a pair of pearl earrings and gestured up and down, "Girl, it's not advisable to have too many decorations when riding a horse. How about this pair of pearl earrings?"

Jian Xi looked in the mirror and felt that it was enough. She shook her head and said, "No, it's fine like this. The needles for the earrings are thin. If you fall off the horse, it will easily pierce your skin."

Xiao Shuang was young, and her face turned pale at the thought of falling off the horse. "Girl, riding a horse is so dangerous, why do you still want to learn it?"

"Because... I like it." Jian Xi's mouth corners couldn't help but curl up.

Nothing makes people happier than being able to do whatever they love.

Feng Lu is a commander of the city defense battalion. As he is about to reach retirement age, he is usually only responsible for training some new recruits.

Shen Nanxing felt that Feng Lu was capable, so he assigned Feng Lu to the General's Mansion to teach Jian Xi riding skills.

Feng Lu stood in the backyard of the general's mansion, leading his horse, feeling a little uncomfortable.

I think he had been to the battlefield before and killed at least eight enemy soldiers.

Now that I am old, I have fallen to the point of teaching aristocratic ladies how to ride horses.

It’s not that there were people in the army who had taught the young ladies of the officers’ families how to ride horses, but after returning to the barracks, they all looked like eggplants hit by frost.

When asked, they all said that those young ladies were either too tired or complained of back pain after practicing for a while. There were countless maids and servants around them.

If they fail to learn the skill in the end, the superiors may reprimand them at the least risk, or even demote them to a recruit camp for "experience" on the grounds of poor teaching.

I've never been so tired even on the battlefield.

Hey!

I don’t know if he will be tortured like this. His old bones can’t stand the reprimand from his superiors.

After a lifetime in the army, Feng Lu only managed to become a low-level sergeant, and was still waiting to receive a sum of money after retirement to enjoy his old age.

I'm afraid I'm going to fail this time.
