Chapter 118: Manipulating public opinion, dirty water
Ji Chuhe saw Chunsheng’s worry, so she gave him some encouragement.
This sentence made Chunsheng feel like he was injected with chicken blood.
The lady trusts him so much, he can't let her down!
I silently told myself in my heart that he could do it!
"Thank you for your trust, Miss. I will lead this caravan well." Chunsheng responded with a bow.
"Chunsheng, there will definitely be more than just this caravan in the future. Our team will become larger and larger, and your future tasks will become heavier and heavier. You must be mentally prepared."
"Yes!" Chunsheng responded excitedly.
"It's getting late, let's go back first."
"Yes." Chunsheng bowed to the carriage.
The carriage moved forward slowly, and only after it had traveled more than ten meters did he slowly raise his body.
Looking at the carriage going further and further away, his eyes were filled with admiration and reluctance.
Miss, you have given Chunsheng a new life, and Chunsheng is willing to follow you for the rest of his life!
As soon as Ji Chuhe arrived at Liuhua Palace, Tianxi came.
"Madam, the prince asked me to bring you the spring ploughing map of Yunze Mountain."
"What spring ploughing picture?" Ji Chuhe asked puzzledly.
"It was painted by the prince himself."
"Expand it and take a look."
Mianzhu immediately went forward to help.
When the painting is opened, a lively pastoral scene appears before your eyes.
Although it is just a monotonous ink color without any other colors, the expression of the thickness and thinness of the ink and brush is still eye-catching.
I didn't expect Xiao Yan'an's painting skills to be so superb!
Not as bad as his handwriting.
"Madam, the prince saw this scene today and felt that you were not able to see it, so he drew it for you to see."
Ji Chuhe walked forward and looked at the painting carefully.
She had seen this kind of scene in her previous life.
Shen Chengjing stayed at Yunze Mountain every day. She was also worried about the situation at Yunze Mountain and often went there during the spring plowing period.
Many of the people who go out to do spring ploughing also have their families come to visit them, so it is very lively.
Ji Chuhe's footprints can be found in every field of Yunze Mountain.
In this life, she did not go to Yunze Mountain because she knew that in this life, everything was perfect and there would be no mistakes.
"It seems that the spring plowing in Yunze Mountain is going smoothly." Ji Chuhe couldn't help but raise his hand and stroke the painting.
"Madam, the second young master also went to Yunze Mountain."
"He went there too? Did he go with the prince, or did he go alone?" Ji Chuhe asked hurriedly.
"The Second Young Master did not go with the Crown Prince. When I heard the news, the Second Young Master was planting rice in the fields himself."
Ji Chuhe withdrew his hand, frowning slightly, "His injury hasn't healed yet, you really have good intentions."
"I also heard some gossip. The people compared the Second Young Master with the Crown Prince, saying that the Crown Prince didn't care about the spring ploughing at all and was just pretending to do it. The Second Young Master was the one who really cared about the situation in Yunze Mountain and worked in the fields himself. It seemed that the Second Young Master was very responsible, while the Crown Prince was not doing his job properly."
"Tianxi, you are responsible for keeping an eye on the Second Young Master these days. You don't have to run back and forth to pass on information to me. I will send someone to contact you. I want to know every move of the Second Young Master."
"Yes." Tianxi responded immediately.
Ji Chuhe gave Tianxi reward money as usual.
Tianxi received a reward the first time he passed a message to her, so his mind has been extra sharp since then!
Ji Chuhe also secretly guided Tianxi on what kind of news she wanted. If he came to report some of the prince's private affairs, even if he had an affair with a woman, there would definitely be no reward.
Unconsciously, Tianxi's ability to collect information that Ji Chuhe cares about becomes stronger and more accurate.
"It seems that Concubine Gao and her son are still not giving up. They are going to take action again." Ji Chuhe said with emotion.
Mianzhu didn't hear her sigh and put the scroll away.
"Miss, where is this painting?"
"The painting is not bad, please keep it well."
"Yes."
……
The person Ji Chuhe sent to contact Tianxi was one of the four people introduced to her by Chunsheng, namely Yaya's brother who could perform magic tricks, named Erniu.
Erniu and Yaya were still young, so Chunsheng did not take them with him to do business.
As soon as Erniu received the order from his master, he immediately followed Tianxi to Yunze Mountain so that he could come back to report the situation to his master at any time.
When Xiao Yan'an learned that Xiao Jincheng was also in Yunze Mountain, he immediately went to find him.
When he saw Xiao Jincheng covered in mud, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Brother!" Xiao Jincheng called out excitedly when he saw Xiao Yan'an.
"How did you get yourself into this state?" Xiao Yan'an couldn't help but ask.
"Brother, I was so bored at home. I heard that you came to Yunze Mountain, so I secretly came here. Yunze Mountain is so much fun. I even learned how to plant rice today."
"Why are you going to plant rice when the wound on your arm hasn't healed yet? Go to my place and wash yourself first, then change into clean clothes." After Xiao Yan'an said this, he turned around and walked ahead.
Xiao Jincheng followed him with his head down.
As soon as the two returned to Xiao Yan'an's residence, the people began to talk.
"I just saw the prince scolding the second young master, and he even said that the second young master got himself dirty while planting rice!"
"I am a high and mighty prince, I never touch mud, so of course I dislike mud!"
"It's not just rumors out there that the Crown Prince is very good to the Second Young Master, right? The Second Young Master looks so scared of him, which doesn't necessarily mean he's that good to him."
"It's just a rumor, but you really believe it! Rumor has it that the Second Young Master is cowardly. Have you seen how cowardly he is? He is just a little more polite and keeps a low profile."
"Yes, that's right. The Second Young Master was very humble when he was learning to plant rice with me today."
Before anyone knew it, some negative news about Xiao Yanan came out.
After Xiao Jincheng took a shower and changed into clean clothes, Xiao Yan'an asked someone to prepare some meals, and the two of them sat in the yard and had a drink under the moonlight.
"Brother, why did you suddenly come to Yunze Mountain? I see that you seem a little unhappy. Is there something bothering you?" Xiao Jincheng asked tentatively.
"You are still young. There are some things that you won't understand even if I tell you."
"Is it because of your two aunts?"
"You..." Xiao Yan'an looked at Xiao Jincheng in shock, "Did you hear any gossip?"
"Yes, the rumor has spread throughout the mansion. It's said that you favored Aunt Dong and let down Aunt Xu, and that all your previous promises to Aunt Xu were false. It's also said..." Xiao Jincheng paused, seeing that Xiao Yan'an's face was becoming increasingly uglier.
"What else?" Xiao Yan'an asked.
"She also said that you are not a loyal person and that your loyalty to Aunt Xu is just an act."
Xiao Yanan was so angry that he picked up the wine jug and poured wine into his mouth.
He came to Yunze Mountain just to escape, fearing that Xu Yan'er would accuse him of breaking his promise.
Unexpectedly, even after escaping here, he was still not spared from gossip.
It was actually told by his younger brother!
