Splendid little maid

Chapter 252
Chen Xi is also a swift person, after learning about it, he hurried back to ask questions.

Before leaving.

The old steward also packed a lot of things for her, as well as five or six old hens he raised himself.

Chen Xi was in a hurry so he didn't bother to shirk it, and directly stuffed a big red envelope for the old man, and there was a ten tael silver note inside, which was indeed quite big.

The old steward went back to open a piece and was surprised. He has worked in the farm for so many years, not to mention the red seal, it is not bad to not be scolded every year at the end of the year.

I'm afraid that if the harvest is not good that year, if there is less income, he will be scolded by the superiors.

Now there is still a red envelope, and it is still such a big one, isn't the old man excited, thinking of her kindness in his heart, he is happy to put away the money.

Chen Xi hurried back, only to find that Huang Heli was not at home.

Said to participate in some poetry will go.

"Then did he say when he'll be back? I'm in a hurry to find him."

Chen Xi said this to Xiaocui while taking off his cloak, although she said that the farm is not necessary, but she still wants it, who knows what will happen if it is slower?
Xiaocui waited for her to change clothes, but she shook her head when she heard the words and said: "The young master also went to the poetry meeting before, and he usually came back very late. It must be a quarter of an hour to go out today. If it's important, girl, I'll let you Someone write him a letter?"

Chen Xi originally planned to negotiate tonight and go to the Ding family to bargain in the morning, but now that Huang Heli is not here, how can she delay his time?
"No, I'll just wait for him to come back. He may be so busy there. That kind of elegant place is not the place I go to. I can't play there."

Chen Xi joked like this with a smile, but he was still a little anxious in his heart.

Xiaocui also dared to tease her, and laughed happily: "It's rare that there are things you are afraid of, Miss Magpie? I thought you also liked those elegant things of music, chess, calligraphy and painting."

Who doesn't play with these elegant things in the upper class nowadays?It is also very fashionable, as if you are inferior to other people if you don't know how to write a few lines of poems or play some little tunes, even in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting there are grades.

Chen Xi took off his heavy clothes, hugged Mrs. Tang and nestled on the bed, and said with a smile: "Yes, I'm most afraid of this. I'm a philistine, and I smell of copper all over my body, so I only want money." , can’t get those elegant things.”

She dozed off after reading too many books, and she only studied the books she was interested in. She didn't have the patience to appreciate those poems and lyrics.

It's more interesting that she is willing to read novels and stories for such a thing.

It's not that poetry is bad, it's just that she has been running around since she was a child, and she really doesn't have the nerve to appreciate it. She still admires people who can write poetry, but it's not her style.She suddenly thought of the beautiful young masters and ladies gathering together, admiring the flowers, the moon and the lanterns, matching pairs, and composing poems.

Chen Xi felt that he still had to figure out how to get the 800 taels of the farm tomorrow, buy that place, and be able to take care of it directly connected to the current farm.

At that time, chickens and ducks can be raised in Guoshu Mountain, and there is no need to worry about worms in the fertilizer. When the time comes for the Chinese New Year, the villagers in the farm will be able to eat meat.

Chen Xi had a good plan. Thinking of those chickens, he said: "Xiaocui, you should put those chickens in pens and raise them. They are all old hens. It is best to cook soup. You should cook more recently. Go to the warehouse to get some old chickens." Ginseng or something, take advantage of the winter to nourish and nourish everyone."

Not to mention how good this kind of local chicken is, and it's the old steward's wish.

After hearing this, Xiaocui agreed straightforwardly, "Yes, then I'll let someone pack one up and stew it right now, and I can eat it later when the young master and Miss Yu'er come back."

She was used to eating together with several of them, so she didn't make a clear distinction. Otherwise, how could a slave eat at the same table as a master?

After all, they have suffered together in the East Hospital, so they are different from others.

When Chen Xi heard this, he nodded and agreed, and Xiao Cui hurriedly went to work after being ordered.

She also rested in peace.

It gets dark early in winter.

There are also sporadic snowflakes.

After a short break, Chen Xi went to the study to continue tinkering with her spice formula and so on.

Continue to rest after dinner.

It was dark and she couldn't do much, mainly because the light was not good, and she was afraid of hurting her eyes.

It was already late at night when the young master came back, Xiao Cui knew that Chen Xi was looking for him, so he also hurried over, with a cold breath and snowflakes all over his body.

Chen Xi nestled on the recliner under the window, dozing off under a thick blanket.

The slightest movement will wake her up.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Huang Heli outside the door shaking off the snowflakes and taking off his cloak.

"Come in and warm yourself up. It's snowing outside again? If the snow is heavy, it will be inconvenient to travel."

Chen Xi looked up and looked outside before getting up with the blanket in his arms. Huang Heli asked her to sit again, and she sat back on the chair, and he followed suit.

"I heard from Xiaocui that you are looking for me?"

"Ah."

When Chen Xi saw him approaching, he gave half of the blanket to him, and then asked, "Have you eaten?"

Huang Heli nodded, and said with a smile: "I've eaten, and I drank a lot of tea."

Chen Xi was also happy and said: "It happened that I asked Xiaocui to cook chicken soup, so let's drink it to warm up, but Yu'er and the others haven't come back yet, it's too late."

Huang Heli nodded in agreement, although he was glad that she cared whether he had dinner or not, but he also cared about her affairs, so he asked in a low voice.

Chen Xi also talked about the farm and the development prospects he considered, and then said: "Then you have to think carefully, although you have a plan, you can't expect 100% success. A little by accident."

Huang Heli said that it doesn't matter, she can make the decision, he trusts her a hundred times, and he has always entrusted her to take care of the money, so he is very relieved.

This has nothing to do with love, just because she is really reliable.

Of course Chen Xi knew that this would be the result, but she still had to say what she had to say, now that she got his approval, she could do things in peace.

Then she said that her own money would be added, and then she was going to share it. Huang Heli said that she could make up her own mind, and he would sign directly when the time came.

Can be wide.

Chen Xi was helpless and amused, he had better explain it to him before signing the contract.

The two chatted on this topic for a long time, and finally drank some chicken soup to warm up their bodies. It happened that Yu'er and the others came back, so they just got together to talk.

There is nothing more heartwarming than having someone to talk to on a cold night.
