Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 299 Confrontation
The master and servant of the Ning family left, but what they didn't notice was that after they left, another person appeared at the empty alley. He stared at the place where the two left, motionless.

Yuan Shi didn't think about it, it was just a simple sacrificial activity, she actually met the enemy of their Yuan family.

Yuan Shi will never forget that face, that expression in her whole life. She still clearly remembers how that beastly man framed her parents into danger little by little, and finally watched with cold eyes, watching Their Yuan family was exterminated on trumped-up charges. If it wasn't for...if her father hadn't noticed something wrong and sent her away from the Yuan family in advance, presumably by now, their Yuan family would probably have no successors and would have become a lonely soul long ago. Wild ghosts.

Hmph, what a coincidence, Yuan Shi sneered in her heart, her fingers tightly clenched the stone pile beside her, and her nails also broke off because of her excessive force, leaving bright red blood stains, but Yuan Shi didn't care With the wound on her hand, her heart and eyes are now full of revenge for everyone in the Yuan family!

She kept reminding herself that now is not the time, she can't make big mistakes because of small things, and she can't delay Brother Ming's official career because of her own affairs, hum, one day, she will definitely be a novice to make enemies and fight for their Yuan family. Dozens of people's lives were avenged.

When returning to the county government office, Yuan met Steward Wu who was dealing with matters in the courtyard, and asked about Ming Ge'er a few days ago, Yuan's wild vegetables gradually felt relieved.

"Ma'am, please don't worry, this old slave will definitely take good care of the young master." Butler Wu assured with a smile on the sidelines, he was the official of the previous magistrate, and after the previous master was transferred, he had already done it. In my heart that I will be driven away, after all, the emperor and the courtiers, besides, Butler Wu is also getting older, and his energy is not as good as before. He originally thought that after the handover was over, he would pack his bags and go home to take care of himself, but what he didn't expect was However, the new official master unexpectedly kept him here regardless of previous suspicions.

This made Steward Wu very grateful. In order to be able to repay the kindness of the lord of the official family, Steward Wu worked with all his heart. Whether it was the county government, he took care of everything in an orderly manner. Yang Chunming was only afraid of trouble before. The butler who just stayed did not expect that the other party would bring him such a big surprise, so he was more satisfied with Butler Wu. Right now, except for the affairs of the study and the county government, Yang Chunming completely delegated power to other matters. , except for daily inquiries, all are left to Butler Wu to take care of.

"Brother Ming will be taken care of by Butler Wu. I'm naturally relieved. In a few days, I will leave Pingchuan and rush back to Linfang. I hope Butler Wu will take care of you when the time comes." Mrs. Yuan understands clearly, she knows the Yuan family The matter cannot be rushed for a while, so she plans to leave in a few days. When she returns to Pingchuan, most of the purpose of coming here has already been completed. Besides, she has seen clearly in the past two days that Brother Ming lived alone in Pingchuan. Okay, she can rest assured after she leaves.

When Steward Wu heard the news that Yuan Shi was going to leave, he asked repeatedly in shock, "Madam, are you leaving? Is it too urgent? Does the master know about this?"

No wonder Butler Wu is anxious, Mrs. Yuan has only been here for two days, and she is in a hurry to go back?The master wouldn't think that it was because of his poor hospitality. Thinking of this, Butler Wu broke out in a cold sweat, and looked at Yuan Shi even more eagerly.

Yuan Shi smiled after hearing this, and then shook her head to explain, "Butler Wu, it's because of the shop at home, you must also know that our Yang family is doing some small business, it's good that I come here, the shop at home is empty The state of care, if things go on like this, if the customers are not satisfied, I have no choice but to go back in such a hurry, and I will come back when the business of the shop is over."

What's more, she hasn't witnessed the downfall of the Ning family yet, so how could she leave?
After listening to Yuan's explanation, Butler Wu gradually let go of the uneasiness he had raised in his heart. It turns out that as long as it's not his own problem, it's fine, "Madam, I think the master will be sad when he finds out. After all, your mother and son are still together If we get along for a few more days, we will have to separate the two places again.”

"Hehe, there is always a banquet in the world, Brother Ming will understand." Yuan is not worried that her son will be sad. Besides, it is not that she will not come back. Besides, Qiuer will not leave when she leaves. Looking at her son, she believed that there would be no major problems.

After chatting with Butler Wu for a while, Yuan Shi went back to the room to rest.

It's just that when Yuan Shi entered the room, Chunqiu who was beside him just woke up, and the one who opened the door and came out just saw her mother push the door and go in.

"Eh? Mother has gone out?" Chunqiu stood at the door, tilted his head and looked at the closed door beside him, and couldn't help saying.

"Miss, you're awake." Butler Wu greeted Chunqiu with a smile.

Chunqiu smiled back, "Well, Steward Wu, did mother just go out?"

"Madam's words, I don't really understand this old servant, but just now when Madam asked me, she came from the direction of the door." Butler Wu thought about the previous things, and reported.

"Oh"

Chunqiu nodded to express his understanding, looked up at the sky, and Chunqiu bounced out of the door.

Today's weather is just right, so it's good to take the opportunity to visit the backyard of the county government office.

Because of being too tired yesterday, Chunqiu didn't visit the entire backyard of the county office, and she just left the house early this morning, so she didn't have time to visit.

After talking to Butler Wu, Chunqiu refused to be accompanied by Butler Wu, she decided to explore by herself, just kidding, Butler Wu still has to prepare dinner for them, how can she have time to hang out in the yard with her.

The backyard of the county government office starts from the yard where Chunqiu and the others are located, and spreads out like a diverging arc. Chunqiu randomly chose a circular arch and walked in. Next to the arch is a return corridor. The wooden structure looks a bit old Old, in all fairness, the area of ​​the backyard of this county government office is not small at all, and with the maids and servants in the backyard, there are simply too many places to live.

At the end of the corridor is a small dry pond, and there are a few withered lotus leaves and lotus plants in it, "Well, I should suggest to my second brother when I have time, it is time to clean up the small pond, otherwise it will be too hot in summer , there is no place to escape the summer heat," Chunqiu walked around the pond twice, talking to himself while pinching his mouth.

"Well, we will put more lotus flowers in the pond at that time, and we can dig some lotus roots to eat in autumn."

"By the way, I'm tidying up the gazebo on the side. How pleasant it will be to drink tea and admire the flowers..."

Chunqiu rambled on about the perfect design for this vacated small pond, but Yang Chunming, who was about to be cheated behind his back, didn't know these plans...
