Xu Zhiyan straightened her back and her eyes were bright.

"Let's go, let's go. We're almost done here. Brother, come with me to look at the food. It's raining too hard now, so we have to put those things in place quickly."

Xu Yanqing had no choice but to follow her and set off in the rain.

On the way to the gate, Xu Zhiyan saw the water in the drainage ditch on the road flowing out towards the gate at a slow speed, and then gathered from the faucet on the city wall into the moat outside.

Xu Yanqing was a little curious.

“What should I do if the moat is full?”

"No, we have done diversion here. When the water level reaches a certain height, it will be automatically directed to other ditches."

Those ditches are mainly in remote places, so it's no big deal if they flood.

Xu Yanqing felt relieved and headed straight for the convoy transporting food. The main person in charge of the convoy turned out to be Zhang Qili. When he saw them, he grinned and showed his big white teeth.

"Girl! Come on, Uncle Zhang has brought you a gift!"

Xu Zhiyan trotted over nonchalantly. She didn't care about the rain hitting her face. She wiped it and stopped paying attention.

However, Zhang Qili couldn't bear to see her looking so rough, so he took out the brocade handkerchief and asked her to wipe it carefully. While watching her wipe it, he muttered, "Every girl's skin is tender. If you don't pay attention to it, it will get rough easily. By then it will be too late to cry.”

Xu Yanqing's eyes are dead.

"It's just girls who need to pay attention, right?"

Zhang Qili smiled brightly, but what he said pierced his heart, "That's right, otherwise."

Xu Yanqing: After all, I still want too much.

"Let's talk about business, Uncle Zhang."

Xu Zhiyan was amused by Xu Yanqing's deflated look, "Listen to my little brother, let's talk about business. Uncle Zhang, didn't you say you were going back last time? Why are you here to deliver things today?"

"I won't go back. I've been a coward enough in my life. Now that your mother has reconciled and divorced, it would be too much for me to be a coward. So I decided to stay in Yangzhou Mansion and watch over your mother. Maybe one day I'll see you in the clouds. It’s day.”

"As for this delivery, I requested it myself. It's raining too hard now and the water vapor is too heavy. I have to unload the goods quickly. Is the granary here ready?"

"When you're ready, I'll lead the way."

Li Wenjin was very efficient at work and had already prepared a large enough granary. Now Xu Zhiyan could take people there directly. Looking at the granary that was full of goods after unloading, she finally felt relieved after having been hanging for a long time.

"With these, we won't be afraid that people will riot because they don't have enough to eat."

Xu Zhiyan's eyes were filled with relief.

Zhang Qili was also very pleased.

But this is for Xu Zhiyan.

"You are still young, but you can calm down and come up with such a comprehensive solution when faced with this kind of thing. You are worthy of being Xiaorong's daughter, and you are thorough in everything you do."

Xu Zhiyan was embarrassed by the praise, "Uncle Zhang, your words are too exaggerated. These are not all my ideas. It is only because of Brother Wen Jin that my small ideas can be implemented."

Brother Wen Jin?

"Are you talking about the current Crown Prince? I heard that the two of you were still close as babies. The friendship we grew up with since childhood will become even deeper when we get married in the future."

This was the first time Xu Zhiyan heard these words from an elder. She was a little shy, but she was also looking forward to her married life, but she still wanted to realize her dream first.

"Brother Wen Jin is a very nice person and treats me very well, but we don't want to get married so soon."

Zhang Qili was a little surprised. "Why? You have reached the age of getting married."

"The time has not come yet."

Zhang Qili gave her a stern look, looked around to make sure there was no outsider, and then pulled her to the side.

"Your mother didn't like backyard fights when she was a child. Later she married your bastard father and has no expectations for love. She may not be able to teach you anything in this regard. I just happened to be talking to you today, so Uncle Zhang will teach you. Some, don’t think Uncle Zhang is too verbose."

Xu Zhiyan shook her head quickly.

"Uncle, I don't know how. You are willing to teach me this because you love me."

"That's fine."

As a man, Zhang Qili understood the man's thoughts better, so he analyzed this angle with Xu Zhiyan in detail, and finally came to a conclusion.

"If I don't urge you to get married, it means your love is not deep enough. Nanny, you have to work harder. Your Highness will be watched by many people. When the time comes, you will be snatched away, and you won't even be able to cry."

Xu Zhiyan was stunned for a while.

[Three women in one play, good guy, Uncle Zhang can sing it all by himself, it’s amazing. 】

"Uncle, I didn't expect that you have already thought about it so much."

Zhang Qili nodded.

"In business, I'm used to taking one step and thinking five steps. Of course, I think that's because you are too obedient. I'm afraid that if you don't prepare yourself in advance, you will suffer a loss in the future."

Xu Zhiyan smiled and arched her eyebrows, "Then I would like to thank Uncle Zhang. I will think carefully about what you said to me."

She is a good student who knows how to put what she has learned into practice. What she learned from Zhang Qili, she began to test it on Li Wenjin that day. It was a trivial matter to pinch her shoulders and beat her legs. She even began to think about embroidering a belt for others. Li Wenjin stopped him after he found out.

"Nanny, I know you mean well, but I really don't need the embroidered belt. I have plenty."

Xu Zhiyan curled her lips.

"Do you dislike my embroidery skills?"

[Although I’m not good at prostitutes, the belt isn’t a complicated piece, so how could I not do it well? 】

As she thought about it, her stubborn temper began to rise.

Li Wenjin understood and stopped her from embroidering a belt for herself. She was definitely going to be angry. She had no choice but to let go, "I really don't lack a belt. If you are willing, you can embroider a sachet for me. I embroidered a sachet for me yesterday when I supervised the work." Lost."

Xu Zhiyan agreed immediately, and the next day when she had nothing to do, she sat under the eaves, holding a small basket and started tinkering on the embroidery shed with the sound of rain. Xiaoxi sat next to her and cut and arranged threads for her, and then watched helplessly. She got it for the nth time and came up with an idea.

"How about, Miss, tell me the pattern and I will embroider it for you."

Xu Zhiyan shook her head seriously.

"No, I have to come in person to be sincere."

She pressed the pricked finger on the brocade handkerchief a few times. Seeing that the blood spots were getting lighter and lighter, she continued to embroider the pattern. In order to ensure the beauty, she embroidered very slowly, chatting with Xiaoxi during the process.

"Have the mother and son whose house collapsed settled down?"

"Miss, I have renovated their house according to your wishes and added some necessary items. Due to the weather, it was not easy to bury the corpse. After asking for the consent of the mother and son, I also helped to bury the deceased. .”

"Very good, you are becoming more and more meticulous in your work."
