Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

Chapter 117: The contrast is strong, the prince is disliked

There are more than a dozen pergolas like this one.

This pergola is the largest and has the most people.

Xiao Jincheng and the people gathered under this awning.

"Second Young Master, please sit over here. The straw here is thicker." An older man gave up his seat.

"No need, uncle, please sit down, I can sit anywhere." Xiao Yan'an smiled and helped the man sit down.

This behavior has won the favor of many people.

The meal at noon was simple, a big pot of rice, a stir-fried dish with some meat and a pickle.

Xiao Jincheng ate with everyone and chatted about family matters without any airs.

"I heard that the Crown Prince has also come to Yunze Mountain. It seems that the prince is really concerned about the spring ploughing situation, otherwise, the Crown Prince and the Second Young Master would not have come." A voice suddenly sounded.

"Yes, if the harvest of the farmland in Yunze Mountain is good, it will be the largest farmland in Huaiyang! At the very least, the people of Huaiyang will be able to have enough food to eat."

"Everyone, don't worry. This piece of farmland in Yunze Mountain has the expectations of my father and the people. God will also favor Huaiyang. There will definitely be a good harvest. In the future, the people of Huaiyang will surely live a life with enough food and warm clothing!" Xiao Jincheng vowed.

When everyone heard this, they felt more hopeful.

"Yes, it will be just as the Second Young Master said!"

"Why can't we see the prince?" someone asked curiously.

The second young master went to the fields himself when he arrived here, but the young master didn't even see anyone.

"I saw him. When I went to get the rice seedlings just now, I saw the prince at the foot of the mountain. He had someone set up a table and prepared pens, ink, paper and inkstone. I don't know what he was doing."

No one understood either.

Isn't coming to Yunze Mountain just to work in the fields like the Second Young Master?

Isn’t it a bit artificial to put out pens, ink, paper and inkstone?

When everyone finished their work and went down the mountain.

Xiao Yanan's painting is almost finished.

When people passed by him, they couldn't help but stop.

"What is the prince doing?"

"Looks like he's painting?"

"Painting? Isn't he here to manage the spring ploughing? What's the point of painting at the foot of the mountain if he doesn't go to the fields?"

"He's the prince! Do you really expect him to go to the fields and plant rice like us?"

"Didn't the Second Young Master just work for a day? He's still injured."

"That's right, the Second Young Master is the one who really cares about the spring ploughing in Yunze Mountain. As for the Crown Prince, he is here to enjoy the scenery and paint."

The people shook their heads and left one after another.

Xiao Yan'an waited for the ink to dry before letting Tianxi put it away.

"It's a little late today. Tomorrow, have someone deliver this painting to Madam."

"Yes." Tianxi responded immediately.

Xiao Yanan figured it out. Ji Chuhe was a woman. Why should he be so fussy about a woman?

So, he planned to break the deadlock first.

Besides, he admired Ji Chuhe from the bottom of his heart.

……

Ji Chuhe felt that the days during this period had been too smooth.

Dong Ling was favored.

Xu Yan'er has also learned her lesson.

Everything is moving in the right direction.

Her first caravan was also formed, with Chunsheng as the leader.

The princess strongly supported her plan to form a caravan and even sent people to impart experience to Chunsheng and the others.

The people under Chunsheng are all considered the lowest class in the eyes of others. They all come from poor backgrounds and don't even have a fixed place to live.

If they could get some hard labor on weekdays, they would do it so that they could have a full meal. If they could not get any hard labor, they would go to the porridge distribution point to eat some porridge to get by.

Ji Chuhe didn't dislike them at all.

In fact, as soon as Chunsheng reported these people's names to Ji Chuhe, she immediately arranged accommodation for them, arranged for someone to cook three meals a day, and gave them monthly wages.

The indentures signed by these people were also living indentures.

Being able to meet such a master, these people would like to sign a death contract with Ji Chuhe.

In life, I am her man; in death, I am her ghost.

After the caravan was ready, it was about to set off that day. Chunsheng sent a message to Ji Chuhe.

Ji Chuhe specially booked a banquet in the restaurant to personally perform the ceremony for them.

This caravan was heading to several cities near the imperial capital, and not like other caravans that all went to the imperial capital.

The first place that all the merchant caravans went to was the imperial capital.

Ji Chuhe's purpose of this trip was not to make money, but to let them accumulate experience and explore the situation of these cities.

As soon as Ji Chuhe arrived at the private room of the restaurant, Chunsheng immediately stood up, and everyone in the room also stood up quickly.

"Miss." Chunsheng bowed and the others followed Chunsheng's lead and called out, "Miss."

"No need to be polite, just take a seat." Ji Chuhe walked to the main seat and sat down.

These people were a little reserved and didn't dare to sit down. It didn't make sense for servants to sit at the same table with their masters.

Ji Chuhe treats these people in the caravan differently from ordinary servants.

Ordinary servants lived in the inner house and followed rules and regulations.

These people need to be out all year round and they value sincerity and loyalty.

"Everyone, there's no need to be restrained. If my coming makes you feel uncomfortable, I might as well not come." Ji Chuhe said with a bit of joking.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh foolishly.

"Then everyone please sit down." Chunsheng arranged for everyone to sit down.

Only then did everyone dare to take a seat.

Ji Chuhe picked up the wine glass and said, "You are about to set off. This glass of wine is for you to practice. Please."

"Miss, please."

Ji Chuhe raised his head and drank the cup.

Everyone drank it in one gulp.

Nanny Ji and Mianzhu were watching from the side. In the blink of an eye, the scene seemed to become a little exciting, and they felt a little excited in their hearts.

The young lady actually formed a caravan of her own, it was like a dream for them!

"This is our first time doing business. We don't ask for much money. It's okay even if we lose money. I only have one request, that every one of you come back safely." Ji Chuhe looked at everyone and said sincerely.

Everyone was a little moved.

Why does it feel like being with the young lady doesn't feel like we're master and servant, but more like a family?

"Miss, don't worry. I will lead this caravan well and will never let you down." Chunsheng stated solemnly.

"I believe you. Chunsheng, do you know why I refused the princess's request to give the caravan an acquaintance to assist you?" Ji Chuhe asked.

Chunsheng shook his head. He had thought about this question, but was afraid that his idea was wrong, so he simply asked the lady to explain it clearly.

"Because we have to walk our own path. Others have passed on their experiences to us, and we have to walk the rest of the path ourselves. No matter it is bumpy or smooth, it is all our own experience gained step by step, which is more precious than anything else."

Chunsheng nodded vigorously, "Miss, I understand."

"Okay, I won't say anything else, let's eat."

After the banquet, Chunsheng sent Ji Chuhe to the carriage.

Ji Chuhe lifted the car curtain and looked at Chunsheng, "Chunsheng, don't worry. Since I let you be the leader of this caravan, it means you can do it."

There was a sudden gleam of light in Chunsheng's eyes.

He originally wanted to be a servant beside the young lady, but the young lady entrusted him with an important task. He was flattered and scared at the same time because of the young lady's trust in him.

He didn't want to disappoint the young lady, and he was even more afraid that he wouldn't do well.
