Hearing the familiar sound of the bell, Tang Wan was delighted. Before she opened her mouth, a smile appeared on her face.

She picked up the bell softly and whispered "Hello".

This gentle and graceful voice reached the ears of the War King, instantly making him feel numb from his ears to his whole body. He could not help but be stunned for a moment, and then he asked in a hoarse voice: "Wan'er, are you busy?"

"Yes, I'm checking the accounts." Tang Wan replied with a smile. She needed money recently, so it was a good opportunity to check the accounts.

"Then when can we meet again?" asked the War King somewhat depressed.

Tang Wan was really too busy to do anything, so she said helplessly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to see you in the next few days. Can I come to see you when I'm not busy?"

"But you said the same thing last time." The War King felt aggrieved. He waited and waited, but no one came.

"Can't you hear the sound now? People should be content!" Tang Wan advised.

The War King paused for a moment before saying, "It's good to be able to hear your voice, but I still want to see you more."

Tang Wan was so happy after hearing what Zhan Wang said, and then she heard Zhan Wang ask, "How about I go find you?"

Tang Wan was really shocked when she heard what King Zhan said, and hurriedly said, "That won't work. Although everyone else has moved out now, it's not convenient for so many people at home."

You have to know that in this era, it is not okay to just meet a man outside of your home.

Although Tang Wan had traveled with the King of War twice, both times they were for important matters. Even so, it was not easy for others to know about it. She went to the King of War on her own, and the only people who knew about it were her parents and Chen Da.

"Then I'll go to your neighborhood and you can come to see me quietly, okay?" The War King was not afraid of embarrassment and started to coax people.

Tang Wan felt a little soft-hearted, but then she thought, there were so many people watching his movements, and it would be easier for people to speculate if he came near her.

So he refused with a ruthless heart and said, "Forget it."

Then, Tang Wan comforted him, "Just wait for a while. I will definitely come find you after a while."

King Zhan tried for a while but still failed to convince Tang Wan.

The War King had no choice but to compromise, as he was afraid that if he pushed the other person too hard he would make him angry.

And so, the War King hung up the bell reluctantly.

Thinking of persuading him next time.

In this way, the two people who were originally communicating with each other turned into chatting on the phone for a long time. However, Tang Wan was a little busy and did not live alone, so she had to find opportunities to chat, so the time for chatting was limited.

But for King Zhan, being able to hear Tang Wan's voice every day is much better than neither seeing her nor hearing her voice.

Although he wanted to meet her in person, it was good enough to be able to hear her voice.

Time flies by, and the peaches are about to ripen.
These days, after finishing my housework every morning, I go to the mountain to observe the growth of peaches.

She stood under the peach tree, looking at the peaches on the tree that were about to ripen, and she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

……

On this day, after Tang Wan finished her walk on the mountain, she asked someone to call Chen Da over: "Uncle Chen, is the cellar I asked you to dig finished?" Chen Da said calmly: "My dear Second Miss, the cellar has been dug. Behind the back wall, the whole piece of land has been enclosed, and a row of houses have been built on it as you requested."

Tang Wan nodded in satisfaction: "Then let's go and take a look. The peaches will be picked soon. Let's check if there are any left out."

Since this matter was arranged, Tang Wan has not paid much attention to it. She is too busy every day, and she has never come because she believes in Chen Da's ability.

But the peaches are about to be picked, so it’s more reassuring to confirm it in person.

Chen Da nodded slightly and said, "Okay, Second Miss, I'll take you there." He turned around and led the way, with Tang Wan following behind.

When we got to the back, we saw a row of houses with two doors.

Tang Wan entered the door closest to her, saw a row of stoves, and smiled with satisfaction.

Then we went to the next house. The entrance to the cellar was cleverly hidden in the corner of the house and could not be found without careful observation.

She smiled and said, "Uncle Chen, you did a great job. This entrance is very cleverly designed." Chen Da smiled and said, "Second Miss, you are too kind. I just did it according to your instructions."

When I walked in, I saw that there was a lid on the cellar, but now the lid was open.

Seeing Tang Wan stop, Chen Da explained: "This is the entrance to the cellar. Leave it open for ventilation now, and then close it when you need it."

Tang Wan nodded slightly: "Let's go down and take a look."

After saying that, Tang Wan took the lead and walked towards the cellar.

There are steps in the cellar, so it is very convenient to go down. It is a bit dark, but it should be fine once you get used to the light inside.

Tang Wan had just thought of this when she heard Chen Da say, "Second Miss, I will go downstairs to light the lamp first and you can come down later."

Tang Wan took a step back and waited for Chen Da to light the lamp hanging next to the steps before she went down.

After entering, Tang Wan found that the space inside was large and well ventilated.

Tang Wan nodded slightly, looking at the cellar with great satisfaction, and praised: "This cellar is indeed well built, with a spacious area and good ventilation. The peaches should be able to be stored here for a while."

Chen Da bowed slightly and responded modestly: "Don't worry, Miss Second, this cellar was built strictly according to your requirements, and every detail has been carefully considered."

Chen Da's tone was humble, but he was very happy to be recognized by the head of the family. After all, the construction of this cellar was the result of his and the workers' hard work, and judging from this cellar, the family was likely to make big moves.

Although he had willingly followed the master into exile, and his life now was many times better than he had initially expected, as an old man in the Shangshu Mansion, Chen Da was looking forward to the future. After all, he had truly seen the strength of the Second Young Miss.

Tang Wan nodded again and said, "Well done, but if we want the peaches to last longer, we have to add some ice."

Chen Da frowned and said worriedly: "But now the weather is getting hotter, and the ice may be very expensive!" He was a little worried, obviously worried about the cost issue.

Tang Wan replied with a smile: "Uncle Chen, bring Ding Li with you tomorrow, and call a few absolutely loyal and reliable servants from the capital, and I will teach you how to make ice. We will put the made ice in the cellar, so that the food can be better preserved." There was a hint of cunning in her smile, as if she had seen the solution to the problem.

After hearing this, Chen Da was so shocked that his eyes widened and his voice trembled: "Miss, are you serious?" He couldn't believe his ears. Making ice seemed almost impossible to him.

Tang Wan raised her lips slightly, and said in a relaxed tone: "Of course, do I need to lie?" (End of this chapter)
