Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild

Chapter 456: Steward Stone

"Oh?"

Lu Sheng's eyes lit up, "Is it far from here?"

To be honest, she was still a little worried about digging a pond beside the field to raise crayfish.

She was a little afraid that those little things would come up and cut off the nearby farmland.

At that time, I will become a sinner.

"It's not far, it's on the top of the hill near the entrance of the village, and it takes only a quarter of an hour to ride an ox cart."

Lu Sheng nodded, and asked again: "My lord, you can rent that pond to me."

Chu Si smiled coldly, "If you want it, just take it."

Sooner or later it was hers anyway.

"Then I won't be polite!"

Lu Sheng chuckled, turned around and went back to tell those people that he didn't need to come over to help tomorrow.

She and Chu Sihan went back to Lu's house, took the carriage, and rushed all the way to the village.

Taking a horse-drawn cart is faster than an ox cart. It takes a quarter of an hour in an ox cart, but it takes less than a quarter of an hour to take a horse-drawn cart.

The road is also very good, much smoother than the road to Anmu Village.

This village is very large, and there are many servants.

Seeing a carriage coming in, the gatekeeper was about to stop it, but when he saw the driver, he froze instantly.

"Big... my lord?!"

Chu Sihan nodded slightly, and said softly, "Open the door."

"Yes, this servant will open the door for you!"

The gatekeeper hastily opened the wooden door and let the carriage in.

When you enter the door, you will see a tea garden, and when you go inside, you will find all kinds of newly sprouted fruit trees.

There is also a piece of loquat tree whose fruit is already half yellow.

On both sides of the road, there is also a piece of crabapple planted, which is full of pink flowers at the moment. If you look at the past, you can see the flowers but not the leaves.

"grown ups?!"

The old steward, who was carrying a hoe and was about to go to work, was also shocked when he saw Chu Sihan.

The moment the carriage stopped, he hurriedly put down the hoe and ran over.

"My lord, why are you here?"

This is Chu Sihan's second visit to this Zhuangzi, the last time it was three years ago.

Chu Sihan introduced to Lu Sheng who had just got off the carriage, "This is Steward Shi."

"Good job, Steward Shi!"

Lu Sheng smiled at Steward Shi and nodded slightly.

Steward Shi was suspicious, but returned the salute with a smile on his face.

Chu Si asked coldly: "Is the pond where the fish were raised before still there?"

"Yes, yes! The old slave is still thinking about draining the pond and cleaning it, and then putting some fish fry in it."

Although Steward Shi didn't know why Chu Sihan suddenly asked about the pond, he still answered respectfully.

Other people who were already working all looked over one after another, but they didn't dare to go forward to ask the situation because of the person who was picked up by the steward himself.

Chu Si said in a cold voice, "Take us there to have a look."

"My lord, this girl, please come with this old slave!"

Steward Shi turned around and motioned for the others to continue working, while he led the two of them towards the pond.

Walking inside, there is an orange tree, under which a group of chickens and ducks are looking for food.

And passing by this orange tree is the fish pond.

There is a reed field next to the fish pond, surrounded by a square ditch.

Lu Sheng's eyes lit up, and she whispered to Chu Sihan: "My lord, the fish pond is too big, it might be inconvenient to raise crayfish, but this one is fine."

She took a bamboo pole on the bank to test the water depth, and found that the ditch was about one meter deep and sixty to seventy centimeters wide. There was a fence around it, probably to prevent chickens and ducks from running out.

"You want to raise it here?"

Chu Sihan was taken aback, looked at the ditch and said in thought: "But, here is often drained, I'm afraid they will all escape."

Lu Sheng looked at him and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll take care of this."

Steward Shi was listening in a daze, not understanding what the two of them were talking about.

Sir, don't you want to see the fish pond? Why did you stop here?

Chu Sihan nodded, "Okay, then see what you need, I'll let Steward Shi prepare it."

Lu Sheng looked at Steward Shi, and said with a smile: "Staff Shi, can I trouble you to find a bigger wooden sign for me?"

She was about a meter longer.

"sure!"

Steward Shi nodded, "Girl wait a moment."

Although he didn't know what Lu Sheng wanted the wooden sign for, Steward Shi went to find it for her himself.

After Lu Sheng got the wooden sign, he took out a dagger, dunked the wooden sign with holes smaller than a little finger, and then blocked them at the drains.

Chu Sihan said to Guanshi Shi: "Go get a hoe."

"Yes!"

Steward Shi wiped off his sweat, and went to fight the hoe again.

Chu Sihan dug a hole in the drain, and waited for Lu Sheng to put the wooden sign in before burying it again.

"that's it?"

Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Lu Sheng smiled and nodded, "It's almost ready."

This is simply the best breeding place for crayfish, several times better than the river pond in her backyard.

"My lord, is this girl raising something?"

When Steward Shi heard about it now, he only knew that Lu Sheng wanted to raise something, but he didn't know what she wanted to raise.

Lu Sheng introduced himself: "My name is Lu Sheng, and I am a villager in Liuyue Village nearby."

Steward Shi nodded blankly, but she heard her continue: "I want to raise some things here, and I have to ask Steward Shi to help take care of them when the time comes."

Lu Sheng?

Why does this name sound familiar?

Steward Shi scratched his head, and couldn't remember where he had heard this name.

"She is my fiancée."

Chu Sihan glanced at him and explained quietly.

Steward Shi was taken aback for a moment, but suddenly realized.

"So it's the future young lady!"

No wonder he thought it sounded familiar, when he delivered food to the family, he had heard it mentioned by people from the Chu family.

"Young Madam, don't worry, no matter what you raise, this old slave will definitely take care of it for you!"

Lu Sheng chuckled, "Thank you!"

Chu Sihan cast an appreciative look at Steward Shi.

This steward Shi has much better eyesight than others.

After Chu Yun has been with him for so long, he still only knows how to talk to Miss Lu one by one, and it's still Guan Shi who is on the road.

"Have your lord and young lady eaten? Why don't you ask me to prepare some food?"

Chu Sihan shook his head, "Don't bother, we've already eaten."

"Oh!"

Steward Shi thought for a while, then smiled and said: "The loquats will not be fully ripe until next month, but the plums and nectarines are already ripe, otherwise, the old slave will pick some for the young lady and take them home to eat."

Lu Sheng's eyes lit up, "Where can I pick them?"

"It's in the backyard. If the young lady wants to pick it, she can go with her."

I heard that Lu Sheng is a peasant girl, and these things are quite expensive in the town.

However, with adults around, she shouldn't eat less, right?

Lu Sheng nodded and smiled, "Then Steward Shi will take me with you."

It doesn't matter whether you eat or not, the main thing is to experience the fun of picking.

She had planted a lot of things on the mountain in her previous life, but most of the fruit trees were planted as a single tree, which was not as interesting as the orchard.

"The old slave will go get the girl a basket first."

In the backyard, Lu Sheng originally thought there were only nectarines and plums, but unexpectedly, there were even mulberries, and they were quite ripe.

After Lu Sheng picked plums and nectarines, he picked half a basket of mulberries.

When I came, I was empty-handed, but when I went back, I was full of harvest.

Lu Sheng squatted on the futon and ate all the way from Zhuangzi to Liuyue Village.

"What did you do? Why are you coming back now?"

Lu Zhou frowned, watching the two speak dissatisfiedly.

"Tu'er went to a good place."

Lu Sheng put two baskets of fruit on the table.

Seeing that only Lu Zhou was there, she raised her eyebrows suspiciously, "Master, where are the others?"

"Shi Yi and Yun Ting said they want to go to Qingshui River for a walk, and your Uncle Shangguan is fishing for crayfish in the backyard."

Lu Sheng: ...

If she doesn't fish out those little crayfish and raise them, she is afraid that she will be eaten and wiped out by that foodie in Shangguandian.

You know, this era is just a pool of crayfish in her...

"My lord, come here early tomorrow, if you don't change the land to breed, my crayfish will be gone."

Chu Sihan smiled lightly and nodded, "Okay!"

Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it just a few crayfish? It's over after eating, don't you still have a pool of river crabs?"

"Can that be the same?"

Lu Sheng snorted coldly, "Crabs can be found everywhere, but Tuer brought a small amount of crayfish, and they are extinct. Where can I find them?"

Lu Zhou rubbed his nose and muttered, "At worst, I'll find a way to go back and catch you as a teacher."

"yes?"

Lu Sheng raised his eyebrows, "And then tear up the whole body?"

Lu Zhou didn't take it seriously, "The left and right are just a skin bag, if it breaks it will break, just replace it with another one."

Anyway, this is not his body, his body is still frozen in the ice cave of Qingfeng.

Oh, now there is an extra body of the little girl, and he is also frozen in the ice cave.

The little girl will still need it in the future, so he can't just bury it.

After all, the little girl came here only to help Chu Sihan get through the catastrophe of love. After this life is over, she still has to return to her original world.

"Anyway, Tuer will be moved to another place tomorrow morning. If you want to eat more, you have to take it easy, don't let Tuer wipe it out."

Lu Zhou glanced at her lightly, did not speak again, but picked up a nectarine, and ate it slowly.

During dinner, Lu Sheng fried the crayfish caught by Shangguandian again. It was not until after dinner that Lu Sheng finally sent the group of people away.

————

the next day.

When the morning light was twilight, Lu Sheng was already carrying a bucket to the backyard to fish for crayfish.

As soon as two buckets of crayfish were filled, Chu Sihan and Chu Yun came.

"Miss Lu, have you caught enough? Do you want your subordinates to help?"

Chu Yun came over, looked at Lu Sheng and asked.

Lu Sheng handed him the fishing rod, "You fish, I'll go to the front yard and get an empty bucket."

"Yes!"

Chu Yun took the fishing rod and fished seriously.

"My lord, please sit here first, I will come right away."

Lu Sheng took a small bench and put it aside, signaling Chu Sihan to take a seat.

Chu Sihan nodded slightly, and sat down on the small bench.

Lu Sheng went to the front yard to get an empty bucket, used a bamboo pole to get a fishing rod, and brought it to Chu Sihan, asking him to fish with Chu Yun.

"I went to the nearby river to find some duckweed."

There are a lot of reeds over there, but there is no duckweed. Lu Sheng wants to take some and put them in the water. Crayfish like to eat these aquatic plants.

When she came back with a basket of duckweed, the two of them had already caught half of the bucket.

Fearing that those crayfish would come out, Lu Sheng hurriedly stopped the two of them and told them not to continue.

Hearing this, Chu Yun, who was in a state of excitement, had no choice but to take back his fishing rod reluctantly.

Lu Sheng asked Lu Yao and Lu Xin to go to the next door to find Little Atom to play, while she, Chu Sihan and Chu Yun went to the Zhuangzi of the Chu Mansion again.

Before leaving yesterday, Lu Sheng specifically told Steward Shi that she would come tomorrow.

So, early in the morning, Steward Shi was already waiting outside the door.

"Guanshi Shi, who was that little girl yesterday? There seems to be no girl in the Chu House, right? Could it be a cousin girl?"

The uncle at the gate looked puzzled.

"What cousin?"

Steward Shi snorted coldly, "That's the future young lady of the Chu family."

"what?"

The uncle was taken aback, "Could it be that Shangguan girl?"

"Nonsense!"

Steward Shi scolded the uncle, and warned in a deep voice: "Miss Shangguan, that is the second young lady of the Chu family, not our young lady, the girl from yesterday was handpicked by the national teacher to our lord, and it is said that one of our lords is destined to die He must marry this girl to survive this calamity."

"I see!"

The uncle expressed emotion, "When the old slave was in the Chu Mansion in the early years, the Shangguan girl went to the Chu Mansion every day to find the Lord. Unexpectedly, she became the second young lady in the end."

"The world is unpredictable." Steward Shi smiled, "Besides, I think that Miss Lu yesterday is much better than Miss Shangguan, so it's no wonder the adults love her so much."

They were all from the Chu Mansion, so they naturally knew Chu Sihan's attitude towards Shangguan Ling'er.

However, Mrs. Chu treated Shangguan Linger very well at that time, and they thought that Chu Sihan would obey his parents' orders and marry Shangguan Linger.

The uncle wanted to say something more, but he suddenly stopped talking when he heard the sound of the wheels approaching from far away.

Steward Shi's eyes lit up, "It must be the adults who are here."

Sure enough, from a distance, Steward Shi saw Chu Yun driving the car.

"Chu guard is here today?"

As soon as the carriage stopped outside the door, Steward Shi smiled and opened the door.

"Stone steward."

Chu Yun nodded slightly at him, and then drove into Zhuangzi.

"What is this?"

Seeing the three buckets of crayfish that Chu Yun moved down and put on the ground, Steward Shi looked curious.

Chu Yun explained: "This is a crayfish, which is different from the shrimp we usually eat."

After Lu Sheng got out of the car, he was about to lift the bucket, but Chu Yun lifted two buckets before her.

When Steward Shi saw it, he quickly picked up the remaining bucket.

He looked at Lu Sheng and asked, "Young Madam, do you want to put the shrimp in the ditch?"

Lu Sheng nodded, "Yes."

"and many more."

Chu Sihan said to Guanshi Shi: "Go and move the basket of duckweed on the cart, and leave this bucket to me."

"okay!"

Steward Shi thought there was only this bucket of crayfish, but he didn't expect that there was also a basket of duckweed in the car.

"Young Madam, what are you using this duckweed for?"

Steward Shi really didn't expect that Lu Sheng and the others would bring the duckweed he asked to clean up every once in a while.

"It's food for the crayfish, they love to eat these things."

"I see!"

Steward Shi smiled and said, "We also have some here, but the old slave has to be cleaned up every time."

After hearing this, Lu Sheng suddenly realized, no wonder she didn't see the duckweed, it turned out that it had been cleaned up.

So, she told Guan Shi: "Next time when the water grows, you don't have to clean it up. I will find someone to take care of the drainage."
