Chapter 357 The Men in Her Backyard
On the way back, there were three men in their thirties in the car. They were the servants that Lin Jiaojiao asked Lan Yi to select and bought to do various odd jobs.
She did not dare to stay in the city for long. She had originally wanted to visit Daiying Pavilion, but did not go for fear of being exposed. Now she could go back in time for lunch at home.
On the way, they met two cavalrymen and a horse-drawn carriage with empty boards.
She seriously suspected that this thing came from Linjia Village. What was transported into the village?
She returned to Linjia Village with this question, and it was not until she saw several villagers gathered at the door of her house, looking up at the plaque, that she realized that the plaque had been replaced.
The Lin Residence became the Lin Mansion.
When the villagers saw that it was Lin Jiaojiao who came back, they hurried forward and greeted her warmly, and she responded with a smile one by one.
"Wife master!"
She looked up when she heard the voice, only to see Lin Yizhi, wearing a goose yellow summer dress, a forsythia hairpin on her head, and trotting towards her with the hem of her skirt lifted up.
And all she could think about was this morning's yellow waste.
Lin Yizhi ran to her side, panting slightly. Maybe it was the hot weather and the running that made his face flushed.
"I heard Lan Qi say that my wife had returned, but I didn't believe it. Usually my wife would return in the afternoon, but then I heard the sound of a carriage. Why did my wife return so early today?"
She looked at the beads of sweat on his small upturned nose, leaned over slightly, and gently stroked down his strong nose bridge with her fingers, then parted her red lips and spoke slowly in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"I missed my little Yizhi, so I came back early."
When Lin Yizhi heard this, his heart was filled with joy. But when he saw Lan Yi and the three strange men behind her, he could only glare at her coquettishly and quickly change the subject.
"My dear wife, the village head has delivered the deed to the good land that the emperor awarded us. It is right next to the land behind our farm. We will arrange for people to cultivate the land tomorrow, and the plaque will also be changed."
"I saw it. I said there was no good farmland nearby. It turns out it's being reclaimed now. It's good and saves a lot of money."
The sun was too bright outside, she said as she walked towards home with Lin Yizhi. Lan Qi, who was at the door, saw Lan Yi moving things in the car, so he came down to help.
"It smells so good, did you bring me some perfume?"
"No."
"Ok."
What a humorless woman.
Lin Jiaojiao went to the washroom to wash up first, then walked towards the main room.
Just as Father Lin and his friends were about to start eating, they heard Lan Qi say that Lin Jiaojiao was back. They put down their chopsticks and waited until they saw the figure of a quick walker in the sunlight outside the door.
"Jiao'er is back, come and sit down for dinner."
Lin Jiaojiao sat down with a smile, "Let's eat, ah! This mung bean porridge is just what I like."
Father Lin: "I stayed up all morning and had a cold. It was so hot that I had no appetite. I had cold noodles and porridge made for lunch, and I also had fried shredded potatoes and tomato and egg soup."
Lin Jiaojiao was very satisfied with the lunch. After drinking a mouthful of porridge, she remembered that there were three new servants. She said to Zhao Yang who was fanning Lin's father.
"Uncle Zhao, three new handymen have arrived. They are mainly responsible for cleaning the backyard and taking care of the flowers, plants and trees. You will arrange them later."
"Yes, I'll arrange it later."
She then turned to the husbands and Jiang Huai on the right and said, "Sister Liu sent five rolls of fabric. I saw that the fabric is very thin and soft. Furong Pavilion also sent new ointments and soaps. They should have been moved to the warehouse by Lan Yi. If you want to use them, just send someone to get them."
Fu Qi immediately became interested when he heard it, and asked excitedly: "What is that fragrance?"
"It's the lotus and the rose."
Fu Qi's eyes lit up, "They are all scents I like. Tongfu, go get them and have a look."
Lin Yizhi and Jiang Huai were both looking forward to it. They didn't know what the perfume smelled like. Lin Yiyan was not very interested. He didn't know if it was because she was pregnant, but she couldn't smell any strong scents. She felt stuffy in her chest after smelling it for a long time.
Tongfu followed the order and went to get the ointment, while Lin Yiyan picked up a bowl of cold noodles for Lin Jiaojiao and placed it on her table.
"This dish has more chili."
"Thank you, brother."
Tongfu also came over with a box. As he just opened it and took out the ointment inside, Fu Qi hurriedly said.
"Wait a minute, watch it after you finish eating, otherwise the taste will be mixed."
"Yes."
Tongfu closed the box again and put it on the table next to him, then picked up the fan and continued to fan Fu Qi.
The meal went on very quickly. Zhao Yang and Li Chenxiao cleaned the table quickly. Tian Ke also washed the dishes and brought up the fruit after the meal.
Lin Jiaojiao was eating cherry tomatoes and looking at three men gathered together trying out the new ointment.
"Xiaoqiu, smell the roses on my hands. They smell so good, just like the roses in the garden."
"I smelled it, it's true, it's more fragrant than real flowers, but I still like the scent of lotus, it smells fresher."
Because he is Fuqiu.
"Brother Huai, which one do you like?"
When asked, Jiang Huai smiled and picked up two boxes of ointment.
"I like them all, one box for each flavor."
It’s really great that the men in her backyard all get along very well and are deeply loved by her.
Lin Yiyan opened his mouth to take the small tomato that Lin Jiaojiao fed him, and took the opportunity to ask her about her visit to the store in the city today.
Lin Jiaojiao also remembered what Zhang Tong had said to her in the morning, and she quickly told him about it.
He laughed and said, "Why not? We need to train a lot of horsemen to transport goods to farther places. We also need to pay the wages of the workers, and the wear and tear of the horses and carriages. It's not without reason that we sell them at a higher price."
After hearing this, she nodded thoughtfully. She had indeed not thought that she would need to train her own talents and prepare horses and carriages.
However, these are all initial investments, which are small amounts of money compared to the huge profits.
But if there are more goods, the price will inevitably go down.
She was confused again.
Lin Yiyan looked at her hesitant expression, reached out and grabbed her hand and placed it on his bulging belly.
Children need their mother's care.
"Sooner or later our store will go to a more distant place. Isn't this a good opportunity to explore the route first?"
She suddenly realized that her vision was too narrow and she only wanted to protect her own little piece of land.
She thought of the system's announcement in the morning. Five thousand acres of land, didn't that just allow her to continue buying land and farming?
"I know what to do. I'll talk to Aunt Lin when she comes back this afternoon."
"Well, why don't you buy a servant? You don't have anyone to serve you."
She shook her head. Not everyone could be as caring as Lan Jiu. She was used to his care.
She believed that he would definitely come back.
