When Pei Ji came back from the back mountain, he saw Zhu Jiangjiang feeding the fish in the fish pond. Her trouser legs were already wet to the knees, almost to the bottom of her legs.

Without further ado, he put down the hoe and hurried to the kitchen to boil hot water for her.

When he came out, he complained: "The water is so cold, how could you go into the water with the two of them, and you are not allowed to go down again in the future."

Pei Ji went around to the edge of the fish pond closest to Zhu Jiangjiang, and reached out to her, "Come up quickly, just let Qin Feng feed the fish."

He didn't dare to order Wu Jinping, but wouldn't he dare to order Qin Feng, a non-official companion?

Qin Feng, who was named, had a black line, "Brother Pei, you are going too far. It is your wife who asked me to go into the water to feed the fish. I am kind enough to help, so why are you blaming me?"

People who do this work suffer even if they don’t get paid.

Pei Ji ignored Qin Feng, he is a big man, it's nothing to be frozen.

"Come here quickly." Pei Ji urged again.

Zhu Jiangjiang glanced at the half of the bran left in the bucket, but didn't go up, "I haven't finished feeding it yet, it's all wet anyway, I'll go up after feeding."

As she spoke, she grabbed another handful of bran and sprinkled it on the surface of the fish pond.

Pei Ji sighed, silently took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, and walked towards her in the water.

He snatched the bucket from her arm, scooped her up, held her under his arm, and led her ashore.

"What are you doing, I haven't..."

"Hot water has been boiled in the kitchen. Go wash it up and change your clothes. Don't catch a cold. I'll feed the fish for you." Pei Ji interrupted her and said something crackling.

Zhu Jiangjiang was warmed by his domineering speech, pursed his lips, hid the little joy on his face, and replied softly: "Okay."

Seeing this, Qin Feng, who inexplicably ate a mouthful of dog food, was so angry that he walked towards Pei Ji, hung the rotten vegetable leaves in his basket on his hand, and went ashore angrily.

Wu Jinping is very happy to see this kind of daily life full of civilian life, which makes him feel the feeling of family affection that he has never had before.

He was born in the emperor's family, and was once an emperor. Although he has many children, wives and concubines, he has never felt such pure emotion.

So even if he was hired by Zhu Jiangkeng to work, he was happy to be at ease.

As long as the work is done, I wish Jiang Jiang will cook them a delicious meal.

Sometimes, coming home is all about a hot meal.

It has been more than ten days since Zhou Liang took office as the county magistrate of Jiangnan Town. Zhu Jiangjiang finally got some free time and got away from various construction sites to visit Zhou Liang.

If she went, Pei Xiaoyu and Xiao Jiu would naturally go too, and the group entered the city in such a hurry.

Of course, she was riding in the two-horse carriage that Pei Ji promised to buy for her, which could pull dirt.

Two-horse carriage, not to mention the entire Jiangnan Town, even Zhu Jiangjiang is rarely seen on TV. Except for those wealthy families, who can afford such a carriage?

So as soon as the carriage entered the city, it blinded the eyes of the people in the city, with a 100% return rate, and a group of children followed, running towards the yamen together.

When the people saw the people getting out of the car, and someone recognized Zhu Jiangjiang and called out her name, they felt less shocked.

It seems that it is only natural for Zhu Jiangjiang to ride in this carriage.

"Where is your elder brother's wing?"

Zhu Jiangjiang had never been to the Yamen, so Xiao Jiu and the others had to lead the way.

"Inside, just go in the second hall." Several young people happily ran in the yamen, and ran towards the attached courtyard behind.

In the front court, they would never dare to be so unruly, and they would only dare to do so in the back.

"Big brother!"

Zhou Liang, who had just closed the hall, heard the shouts outside, put down his pen, and when he got up to go out, he saw a group of people pouring in at the door, and Zhu Jiangjiang followed behind.

"Little lady, why are you all here?" He only greeted her as if he only saw Zhu Jiangjiang in his eyes.

"Brother, let's bring you food."

When they came out, Zhu Jiangjiang asked them to pick fresh fruits and vegetables from Pei's vegetable field, and brought several large baskets for him to eat.

There are few people who grow vegetables in winter, and I am afraid that he will not be able to eat fresh ones.

"Master Zhou, are you busy?" Zhu Jiangjiang called him jokingly.

Zhou Liang was a little embarrassed when she called her that, "Little lady, don't make fun of me, sit down."

I have to say that although Zhou Liang was still a little beggar begging for food on the side of the road at the beginning of the year, his demeanor was completely different once he wore the official uniform.

Zhu Jiangjiang even had the feeling that he was the noble son of a wealthy family, calm and unhurried, neither humble nor overbearing.

"Master Zhou, are you familiar with the business of the Yamen? Can I ask you for a favor?"

Although they have a good relationship, Zhu Jiangjiang still needs to give him the respect he deserves. He must not engage in corruption, and if he wants land and support, it must be done through formal means.

"Please tell me, little lady." Zhou Liang just likes that Zhu Jiangjiang has principles, which makes him feel more at ease as an official.

"I want to ask, is there any wasteland in the Yamen that depends on the water and the river, even if it is the kind of land that cannot grow food or build houses."

"What do you want this wasteland for?"

Hearing her request, Zhou Liang was even a little speechless.

Even if they can't do anything blatantly in order to avoid suspicion, they don't have to be so polite, right?

In this kind of land where neither farming nor building is possible, there are hot potatoes everywhere, which cannot be lost or sold, but she actually offered to ask for such a land.

Is she stupid?

"I want to dig a fishpond to raise fish and shrimp." Zhu Jiangjiang didn't hide it from him, anyway, she didn't need to spend money to establish a relationship with him.

If there is no interest entanglement, there is no need to hide it from him.

"Shrimp?" Zhou Liang understood immediately, "Is it the thing raised in the fish pond in front of your house? Did you succeed in trying to raise it?"

"Well, it worked." Zhu Jiangjiang looked at him with certainty, his face was full of joy.

Zhou Liang was also very happy for her when he heard this, and with a big wave of his hand, he took the matter to himself, "In this case, don't worry, little lady, I will find the fish pond you want for you, and if you find it, I will send someone to the small fish pond. The deserted village informs you!"

This year he went to the capital to rush for the exam. When he was taking the palace exam, the article Zhu Jiangjiang wrote for him was too original and bold, which attracted the emperor's attention.

So when he proposed to go back to his hometown and lead the people to live a prosperous life, the emperor said that he would come south to see his achievements.

Although he didn't know whether what the emperor said was true or not, and when he would come, this incident really brought him pressure.

Therefore, the word has been spoken, and he will do it no matter what.

He has seen Zhu Jiangjiang's strength from before, he believes in her, and it is right to follow her, so no matter what she wants, as long as he can do it, he will agree!
