Enter Chang Xiangsi and help Jingzhai fight

By the time I had finished talking about this and that, it was already late, and Chunming's expression changed from surprise to respect. I felt that it was almost time, so I drank a cup of tea, wiped my mouth and let out a long sigh: "That's it for today, I don't go out much, I'm not familiar with the specific details, please find someone to arrange it."

Chunming bowed deeply and said: "Although you don't go out often, you are really smart. What you are planning today will surely turn a loss into a profit. Chunming admires you."

I quickly waved my hands and said, "Master, you are too kind. I came up with the idea and you and everyone else helped, all for the benefit of the Tushan family." This way, even if Madam Rui Er or some other lady wanted to find fault with me, I could get away with it.

Chunming smiled and nodded, wanting to see me out, but I said, "I dare not. You have already given me face by coming out to greet me. If you send me out again, it will be a shame for me."

Chunming saw that I was sincere and did not insist. He clasped his fists and said, "The girl, be careful on the road. You will need your advice on the details. I will ask Xiaoshun to deliver the letter to the mansion. You can reply to him when you are free. Xiaoshun, send the girl off for me, and then go and call the Second Young Master Jin, the Great Master Li, and the Third Aunt Hu over for me."

I returned the greeting and followed Xiaoshun out the door. Xiaoshun walked through the alley and respectfully escorted me back to the main gate before returning.

Before I could even catch my breath after returning to the room, Xiao Wei came over and said hurriedly, "Miss, the second master has asked you to go to the study a while ago." Well, this means I should report on my work as soon as possible. I didn't even have time to drink water and hurried to the study to report.

The door of the study was not closed. I saw Tu Shanjing reading some lists by candlelight at the desk. Maybe it was cold at night, so he put on a light yellow robe over his white shirt, with gold edges on the cuffs. The flickering candlelight made his eyes sparkle, and there seemed to be a faint halo around his face. For some reason, this scene exuded a sense of holiness, which made me want to worship him, for fear that I would disturb him by making a sound.

Noticing that I had reached the door, he nodded slightly and said, "Chunming came to report that he had praised you."

I acted coy and said, "Young Master is really wise, Lanxiang is just following his example."

He slammed the list on the table and said with a smile, "You're flattering me again. Well, I just happened to have something I wanted to ask you if you have any ideas."

I sat down on the chair opposite the desk, put my hand on my chin to admire his face, tilted my head and smiled: "Young Master, just ask, Lanxiang will do her best."

He stepped back a little and cleared his throat. "It's not a big deal, it's just... the taro harvest has been good recently, and a group of farmers are using taro to pay off debts. If we sell it directly, the profit is not high, and the Tushan family doesn't have extra manpower to transport and sell it."

I coughed and said, "I thought it was a small matter, just making mooncakes."

He wondered, "Taro has no taste. Using it to make mooncakes might just..."

“Leave it to me, the taro mooncakes. If you have any extra chestnuts or eggs, bring them all to me. We’ll have a limited edition mooncake gift box for the Mid-Autumn Festival, with taro paste, chestnuts, lava custard, and... grape oolong!” I can’t help but feel that the modern Linlang flavors have saved me and will soon save the Tushan family from the economic crisis.

"Runny...custard?" Tu Shanjing showed a rare look of confusion on his face.

"Lava custard is... Oh, I'll ask the kitchen to make some tomorrow for the young master to try. But these are desserts, and the young master can't eat anything too sweet. I need to let the sisters in the mansion taste it."

"In that case, I will eat less tomorrow morning. Oh, and there is one more thing. Chunming said that the most advanced cruise ship needs a name and asked me to come up with one. I think this is all your idea, so why don't you name it."

"Thank you, Young Master~ I wonder what the decoration of the most advanced cruise ship was finally implemented?"

"The red teak tables and chairs of Suiyunxuan, the brocade and satin decorations of Tushanjia, and the furnishings of Qinbaozhai are the same. The Tianxianglou that was invited only wants to send people, not to leave their names."

"Tianxiang Tower? What does it do? Why are you so arrogant?" I asked curiously.

Jing's face turned slightly red. After a pause, he replied in a low voice: "That's what you said before...singing and dancing..."

“Ah! Singing and dancing ladies!” It suddenly dawned on me. I thought it was some high-end restaurant sending out chefs to make mooncakes on site.

"I think that Tianxianglou is well-known and conservative. They are afraid that this banquet will be badly held and will damage their reputation. If they don't attend, they will feel that it would be a waste to make a lot of money. Therefore..."

I couldn't help but laugh when I heard that. "What a joke!" Thinking of my virtuous identity, I swallowed the rest of the sentence and changed the subject. "Well, it would be bad if the women present were harassed by drunken lechers. We have to hurry up and make a batch of veils. If any women forget to wear one on the day, we will give them the veils. The singing and dancing girls won't wear veils to distinguish them. We will also assign more people to watch over them to prevent offending the guests."

Jing nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "That's right."

When we were discussing this, I smelled the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and an idea suddenly occurred to me, so I said, "Young Master, let's call that pleasure boat 'Lan Gui Fang'."

Jing smiled and said, "That's quite interesting. I'll call it what you said. You can go back to Chunming later."

"Okay~" I saw that he was smiling beautifully and in a good mood. It was good to be able to solve his worries, even if it was just a small matter like taro or naming.

From my observation and asking Jingye, I know that although he eats, wears and spends like a nobleman, he does as much work as a farmhand on weekdays. Needless to say, he has to run the big shops, check the accounts, calculate the money, dispatch the people and materials, and take care of various things. He also has to find time to meet guests, pay respects to the elders, preside over large and small celebrations during the New Year, and read books and practice martial arts when he is free, listen to various intelligence in the wilderness, and can't give up playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting... Sometimes I worry that he doesn't sleep at night to squeeze in time, and whether he will be overworked to the point of losing his fur.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look down at the floor to see if there was any white fox fur. From the corner of my eye, I saw him looking down along the path I was looking at, a strand of soft hair sliding down from his shoulder. I quickly looked up and met his searching gaze. I waved my hands repeatedly: "Nothing, Lanxiang is just checking whether the study is clean. After all, the young master has to stay here for a long time every day."

He raised his hand to put her hair behind her shoulders and smiled gently: "That's thoughtful." His eyebrows were curved and his light pink lips had a beautiful curve.

My heart felt like fireworks were exploding and I couldn't help but cover my chest.

"Well... Young Master, Lanxiang has left first. You, just take a look and go to bed early!" After saying that, he ran back to the room as if escaping.

I went back to the room and leaned against the door, my heart still pounding. Xiaowei didn't wait for me in the room as usual, I didn't know where she went. Suddenly, something moved in the corner of my vision, I looked closely, and a thin flesh-colored tail swayed a few times behind the stool. I bravely walked a few steps to the side and met a pair of black eyes.

"Oh my god! Rats!!!" I screamed, opened the door, and rushed to the yard. Forgive me for growing up in the city, I really didn't have the chance to face this kind of big gray rat. Xiao Wei happened to be jumping towards this side from the yard holding a small box, and I quickly grabbed her: "Xiao Wei, don't go in, there are... big gray rats in there!"

Xiao Wei smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, girl, that's Xiao Hui~"

"Xiao Hui? Your friend? The rat spirit?" I felt my irritated scalp gradually calming down.

"Yeah, maybe he's tired, so he's back to his normal form and waiting for me to come back and play together."

"Oh, then, why don't you go in first and let him transform into a human form? I'm a little afraid of... goblins." I was afraid that Xiao Hui would hear that I was afraid of mice and his self-esteem would be hurt, so I tried to be tactful at the end of the sentence.

"The girl is really funny. You are obviously a fox spirit, but you are afraid of a rat spirit. Xiao Hui should be afraid of you! Also, I am also a hedgehog spirit, why don't you usually be afraid of me?"

Hedgehog? The hedgehog's appearance was acceptable to me. I closed my eyes and gently pushed Xiaowei: "I, I hit my head, I'm not normal~ Xiaowei, be good, you go first."
