Chapter 323 1 House God Farm
The harvest in Tianan Prefecture has skyrocketed in the past two years, especially in Qingquan Village and Wenggang Village, where grain yields have increased dramatically.
It can not only supply all kinds of fresh food in a timely manner, but also store full warehouses of grain.
There was nothing wrong with the account book, so Ye Tang asked the shopkeeper to call all the managers, explained some things to them, and gave them bonuses.
The stewards were flattered: "Master, mistress, Mr. Liu has already given us bonuses, there is no need to give us more..."
Ye Tang said: "If Elder Liu can give, I will give too. You have done a great job in the past two years when we were not in Tianan Prefecture. I am very satisfied with you."
The managers accepted the bonus with many thanks.
After the stewards left, Ye Tang and the others went to find Su Yinghuai, and then saw that Su Yinghuai had bought large and small bags of things.
"Grandpa, is it appropriate for you to buy so many things from your granddaughter's store?" Ye Tang's eyes twitched. Her grandfather really knew how to take care of her business.
Su Yinghuai took the things to the carriage and said, "It's suitable, suitable, very suitable. I am happy with my purchase. The money has gone into your pocket. It's perfect!"
Ye Tang smiled helplessly: "As long as grandpa is happy, Jing Xuan and I are going to take a walk in the village, do you want to go with us?"
"No need, I'll walk around the city by myself, you guys go and do your own things." Su Yinghuai's face was flushed and full of energy: "Although Tianan Mansion is small, it's quite interesting."
He is a scholar, but not quiet. He is a scholar who likes to be lively.
There were very few literati and poets in Tian'an Prefecture. It was filled with merchants who came to purchase goods, peddlers who set up stalls and shops to do business, and farmers who came and went. These simple and plain people created a picture of the world, which was very different from the places he had visited before.
"Then we won't accompany you. Grandfather, you can take your time to stroll around. When you get tired, find a place to eat and drink, or go back to rest." Xiao Jingxuan said, and took out a stack of banknotes for Su Yinghuai: "Buy whatever you want. If you don't have enough money, just ask us."
Su Yinghuai accepted it without hesitation.
It feels good to have a granddaughter and a grandson-in-law who are filial to him.
After separating from Su Yinghuai, Ye Tang and his partner came to a Shenshan Villa.
The villa was the ghost villa that Ye Tang and his companions bought and handed over to Yan Xiao for management. The name was changed by Yan Xiao.
He said that gods can suppress ghosts, so the villa is called "House of Gods". With a house full of gods, ghosts will not dare to cause trouble.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the villa.
It is the harvest season. Various crops have been planted on the barren hills next to the villa. Now is the time for a big harvest.
"Master, mistress, this villa is very strange. They even use clay figurines to guard the house." said Zhang Bei, the plainclothes guard who was driving the carriage.
He used to be a kitchen helper in the palace. He was appreciated by Xiao Jingxuan and promoted to a palace guard. He was also honored to accompany his two masters on long journeys.
"Clay figure?" Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan looked at each other. They walked out of the carriage and indeed saw a clay figure standing at the gate of the villa.
The sun was very strong today. The clay man had no idea how long he had been standing in the sun, and the mud on his body had all dried up.
A guard walked over and took a look: "Clay man, are you dead or alive?"
The clay figurine's eyes moved.
The guard was shocked: "A living person!"
The clay man opened his mouth and shook off the mud on his mouth: "Nonsense, of course I am alive, who are you? What are you doing here? Outsiders are not welcome here, go away!"
This voice sounded very familiar to Jamel Xiao and the others.
Jamel Xiao walked up to the clay figure, and the clay figure instantly became excited when he saw him: “Master!”
"Yan Xiao?" Xiao Jingxuan kicked the clay figurine: "Who do I think it is, playing tricks here?"
"Master, you are finally back! I was almost bullied to death by that shrew Xiao Lingdang!" When Yan Xiao moved, the dry mud on his body cracked and fell all over the ground.
"Don't complain to me, it's useless. I don't care about your family affairs." Xiao Jingxuan interrupted him: "Go open the door, my wife and I want to go in and rest."
Only then did Yan Xiao notice that Ye Tang had also returned.
Xiao Jingxuan said to the guards: "One of us."
Then he walked to Ye Tang and supported him carefully.
Yan Xiao was stunned: "Master, what is the mistress doing..."
Jamel Xiao curled his lips proudly: “You are not mistaken, your master is going to be a father!”
Yan Xiao: "...What's there to brag about? I'm going to be a father too!"
"Squeak!" The door opened, and a pregnant woman walked out of the villa, holding a stick in her hand: "Yan Xiao, you bastard, get out of here!"
Yan Xiao shuddered.
After Xiao Lingling finished yelling, she realized that there were other people outside.
In doubt, she turned her eyes and saw Jamel Xiao, and was extremely surprised: “Master!”
She lifted her skirt and was about to run over.
"Slow down, don't run, don't get excited, and watch your stomach!"
Yan Xiao was so frightened that he lost his soul. He turned into a shadow and rushed to Xiao Lingdang, helping her up.
Ye Tang had heard of Xiao Lingdang but had never seen her. He heard that she was Yan Xiao's wife and that their marriage was fake.
But what's going on now?
Xiao Lingling is pregnant. Looking at her belly, it seems that the baby is bigger than her.
Jamel Xiao was also surprised.
After entering the villa, Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan sat in the seats of honor, and they looked at Yan Xiao and Xiao Lingdang with curiosity.
"What's going on between you two? Did you turn your fake play into reality?" Xiao Jingxuan asked bluntly.
Xiao Lingdang blushed, and Yan Xiao said calmly: "Yes, we are together."
Jamel Xiao glared at Yan Xiao and said, “Are you sure you didn’t force Xiao Lingdang?”
Xiao Lingdang shook her head: "No, Xiao didn't force me, Master, we are in love with each other."
Xiao Jingxuan said, "That's good. Since you've decided to be together, live a good life. But you guys are really something. I thought you two were a good match at the beginning. I wanted you to turn your fake play into reality and become a real couple, but you insisted on being a fake couple, wasting several years. If you had decided to be together on the day of your wedding, the child would have run away."
Yan Xiao smiled and said, "It's not too late now."
Xiao Lingdang said, "Master, Mistress, I will have someone prepare food for you."
"No need to bother." Ye Tang said to her, "We had already eaten before we came."
She continued with a smile, "We just arrived at Tian'an Prefecture yesterday. We came here today to see what the situation is in the village."
Although Yan Xiao would write to Xiao Jingxuan to report what was happening in the manor, what he saw with his own eyes was somewhat different from what was written in the letter.
After resting for a while, Xiao Jingxuan asked Yan Xiao to lead the way and take him and Ye Tang for a walk in the village.
Xiao Lingling is already old and will give birth in ten days at most. Ye Tang is afraid that she will be tired, so he lets her rest in the house.
In order to facilitate planting, two new roads were built in the villa, one leading to the fields and the other to the mountain.
All the servants in the village had signed death contracts. Wherever Ye Tang and his companions passed, everyone was rushing to collect food.
Wheat, rice, corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes...
Everywhere is a busy scene.
From time to time, grasshoppers would jump to the feet of Ye Tang and his companions, and dragonflies would fly over their heads.
