Qi Sui and the system were both puzzled: "Huh?" She stopped immediately and stared at Cheng An's back.

He just said without turning his head: "All good." Then he went straight out.

After watching him walk out of the door, Ying'er retracted her gaze and lowered her head. Qi Sui said to her, "Don't worry, young lady. He just cherishes his words like gold."

Ying'er raised her face and smiled, "Yeah, I know."

Qi Sui said goodbye in a hurry and quickly caught up with Cheng An. When she was walking downstairs, she met the madam and asked, Where can we find it for her at this time of the year?"She walked up and asked, "Does Madam need to find someone? What is it? Perhaps I can find it."

The madam did not answer immediately, but instead showed concern for her: "Young lady, why are you leaving now? Ying'er doesn't know the rules and didn't let you have fun." After she finished speaking, she turned around and asked the waiter to call Ying'er down. Fortunately, Qi Sui stopped her in time and said, "wait a minute, Madam. Miss Ying'er is very good. She sang songs for me and played the pipa. I have something to do at home so i have to leave first."

She took the opportunity to change the subject, "It's Madam who seems to be very anxious."

The madam said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that Miss Yun in my building is greedy, you don't need to worry about it."

"It's the one that Miss Ying'er is very concerned about."

"Yes, when Ying'er first came to Yanchun Tower, she served Miss Yun, and the two of them became close friends."

Qi Sui remembered Ying'er saying that scholars all liked Miss Yun, so she took the opportunity to say, " In this case, I should help. Madam, why don't you tell me what Miss Yun wants?"

"Don't be offended, young lady. I see that you are a farmer from the countryside. You should know that it's the worst time to grow fruit in autumn. Recently, the building has only bought some fruits from the Zhang family. Although they are slightly sour, they can be used as a snack to entertain her. But none of them suit her taste." The madam said while frowning slightly.

Qi Sui asked again: "What flavor does Miss Yun want?"

"She can't eat sour food, she only likes sweet food."

"That's not difficult, I can bring it to you in a few days."

The madam felt skeptical, but At the moment, she really couldn't find one, so she simply agreed: "If the young lady can really bring it, Yanchunlou will definitely reward you handsomely."

Qi Sui was even more convinced that this Miss Yun was extraordinary. To be valued so much by the madam, she must be a Top card.

"You must keep your word. Madam is waiting patiently."

As soon as she stepped out of Yanchun Tower, she saw Cheng An standing under the shade of the diagonal tree. Qi Sui walked over quickly and said, "I thought you had already gone back."

"It's just an excuse to Come out." Cheng An said calmly.

"I just promised to help you. I will come here again in a few days."

Cheng An turned to look at her and frowned: "I just want to say one thing, since you have someone in your heart, you'd better not come to this kind of place."

Qi Sui felt a little surprised, "Cheng An, your sentence actually has twenty words." But seeing his expression becoming more serious, she immediately said: "Of course, I just want to find out the situation today, nothing else."

So she told Cheng An about her plan but his expression did not improve. He only said: "It's okay as long as you can distinguish between the important and the unimportant."

Qi Sui nodded, "Yes, yes, yes."

The two returned to the shop together. Along the way, Qi Sui wanted to find a suitable opportunity to test the relationship between Cheng An and Miss Ying'er but she felt it's inappropriate so she gave up. Bao Jieer was reviewing the book that Shen Yu had copied for her. When she saw them coming back, she ran over and threw herself into Qi Sui's arms, "Sister Sui, where did you and brother go?"

"Uh... we went..."

"Have you finished writing today's poem?" Cheng An asked.

Cheng Bao said, "It's finished." She smiled and ran into the house to find the poem she had written. He took the opportunity to say to Qi Sui, "You go back first."

Qi Sui nodded and said goodbye, then took Changsheng home.

On the way, the system asked: "Host, what do you want to plant this time?"

"Cantaloupe." Qi Sui stroked Changsheng's head.

After returning home, she immediately bought seeds and fertilizers, found a piece of land in the orchard with high terrain and good drainage, plowed it several times, applied fertilizer, prepared the land and made ridges before sowing. After this series of busy work, the sky gradually turned green. Dark, hazy moonlight looming.

Qi Sui followed the moonlight on the ground back home and said to Changsheng, "Now it's just you and me."

Changsheng snorted in response, and she added, "Oh, and my chicken."

The system said faintly: "Host, you haven't finished speaking."

"Of course! I wonder if Shen Yu has eaten well? Is she tired after returning home? Does she... miss me too?"

System:... Good, good, good! Just don't mention me.

Qi Sui said after a long pause: "System, why aren't you a treasure chest? Then you can give me money and a house, and give me ready-made agricultural products."

System: "You... have a nice idea."

She only laughed briefly, "But you are also very powerful now."

After Shen Yu returned to the mansion, she told Shen Yuandao in detail about what happened in the manor, but concealed the matter of Lin Dalang. Shen Yuandao was very satisfied and praised her repeatedly: You have been steady since childhood. I'm relieved to leave such a tedious task to you. In just a few months, you can fill the accumulated account deficits of the farm household for several years. I'm very please"

Shen Shu and Shen Jin knew that she was back, and they also rushed to see her.

"Third sister, you have worked really hard these days." Shen Shu said sincerely.

Shen Jin took her hand in a rare and friendly manner: "As expected of the third sister, you are really the best choice to be the housekeeper."

Shen Yu looked at the three people in front of her in a daze, and couldn't help but think of Qi Sui's face in her mind, so She calmed down and said, "If you say it's my own credit, I feel guilty about it."

Shen Shu and Shen Jin looked at each other, but Shen Yuandao understood the implication and asked, "Is it Madam Qi?"

"Yes."

Just as the two were about to ask who it was, Shen Yuandao said, "You have been sitting in the carriage all day today and i think you are tired. Yu'er should go back to the Lanting Pavilion and have a good rest. We will talk about other things tomorrow.

Aunt Lan was in the room asking the maid to serve the hot dishes, her face full of expectation and joy. "Yu'er likes to eat sea bass. Now that she hasn't been home for a long time, she must miss it very much."

Her personal maid moved the dishes and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I remember it all.When Shen Yu came in, she saw this scene and a long lost warmth rose in her heart, "Aunt, i'm back."

When Aunt Lan saw her, she hurriedly pulled her in front of her, carefully looked at her from head to toe several times, and then she felt relieved: "You haven't lost weight, and your complexion is better than before you left."

Shen Yu chuckled when she heard this. Qi Sui had been feeding her a lot in the past few months, always finding ways to praise her. Only in front of Aunt Lan did she behave like a child, turning around and saying, "Look, not a single hair is missing."

Aunt Lan stopped her and stroked her face, "You've been tired all day, let's eat first." Pulling her hand and sitting down, "These are all new dishes created by Liu Guanzhi. Your father also praised his good cooking skills."

There were several familiar dishes on the table. Shen Yu read out the names of the dishes one by one. Aunt Lan felt surprised and asked, "How did you know?"

She smiled and said, "I guessed."
