"Just talk if you want to. Why are you pinching me for no reason?"
"Haha!" Ye Yi looked down and realized that Zhuangzi's face was flushed red from being pinched by him. Seeing this, he quickly smiled awkwardly to cover it up.
Then he withdrew his arm, no longer resting it on Zhuangzi's shoulder, and instead bumped Zhuangzi with his shoulder. "Hey, you said we are brothers..."
Zhuangzi had just been released and was breathing heavily, but before he could recover, he was knocked back and stumbled, nearly falling. Fortunately, Ye Yi was nearby and quickly reached out to pull him back, but he only managed to grab Zhuangzi's arm. Zhuangzi's momentum carried him, and they both fell to the ground, with Ye Yi falling right on top of Zhuangzi.
"What are you doing?" A surprised voice suddenly sounded.
As Luo Shuiyao walked out of the yard, she saw such a shocking scene. Zhuangzi was lying on the ground with his back, and Ye Yi was half kneeling and half lying on him, with one hand holding Zhuangzi's hand and pressing it on his head. At first glance, it seemed as if Ye Yi was forcing Zhuangzi.
Ye Yunzhou was a step slower. After hearing Luo Shuiyao's voice, he also looked up and saw the shocking scene of the two people not far away. He couldn't help but sigh.
Zhuangzi's face was facing this side when he fell. When he saw that it was Luo Shuiyao and Ye Yunzhou, his face flushed red instantly. He kicked the defenseless Ye Yi and then hurriedly stood up, explaining helplessly like a panicked young lady: "No, no, we didn't. Miss, you have to believe me."
Luo Shuiyao gave him a meaningful look, then straightened her expression, "I believe not. You don't need to explain. Our business for today is not yet completed. Let's go back."
Zhuangzi breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, let's go now, let's go now." Before leaving, he did not forget to kick Ye Yiyi, who was sitting on the ground with his teeth bared.
Ye Yi covered the part that was hurt by the kick, his face full of resentment but he dared not say anything.
After seeing the two people's backs walking away, Ye Yunzhou withdrew his gaze and looked at Ye Yi with an ambiguous look, "I didn't know you had such a hobby."
Ye Yi stood up and rubbed his aching butt, feeling that he had only added insult to injury. Hearing Ye Yunzhou's words and recalling the previous incident, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He could only mutter quietly, "I'm a real man. I like women. How could I be interested in a dark, skinny brat? Even though you are my master, don't try to slander me."
Ye Yunzhou was irritated by his expression and said impatiently, "Alright, now that you're here, you have nothing to do anyway. The number of war horses has been drastically reduced recently, so why don't you go to the stables and help the horse farmers shovel manure."
Ye Yi didn't bother rubbing his butt for a moment. He widened his eyes in disbelief and shouted, "What did you say? You want me, a captain of the Hidden Dragon Division, to pick up horse manure?"
Ye Yunzhou glanced at him coldly, "Why? No?"
Ye Yi always understood the principle that a man who knows the current situation is a hero. Seeing this situation, he could only force a smile and respond with a "Haha, sure, sure."
He hadn't forgotten the disaster he'd caused earlier, and since the Crown Prince hadn't imposed a harsher punishment on him, he figured the outcome wasn't too bad. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been as simple as just picking up horse manure; he'd probably be trapped in the stable for the rest of his life. Thinking about it this way, this arrangement wasn't unacceptable. After all, once the Crown Prince's anger subsided in a few days, he'd probably let him go.
Ye Yi pondered to himself with some uncertainty.
Ye Yunzhou didn't care about him at all. After leaving him behind, he strode outside, heading in the direction that Luo Shuiyao had just left.
.........
When Luo Shuiyao returned to the villa, she received news that Zhao Qian and his team had moved swiftly and had already arranged for the construction of the foundation. She was a little surprised, but then she thought that it would be good to finish the construction as soon as possible. This would make everyone live comfortably and would help them work more vigorously in the future.
Luo Shuiyao thought for a moment, then took the silent Zhuangzi and walked towards the back mountain.
When she arrived at the back of the mountain, she saw quite a few people there, men, women, young and old. Regardless of whether they could help, they had all gathered there. Looking closely, she saw some pulling weeds, some marking lines, and some clearing rocks. Everyone was doing their own thing, and while it looked chaotic, they were actually working in an orderly manner.
Zhao Qian was leading a few people in measuring dimensions when he looked up and saw Luo Shuiyao standing not far away. He quickly dropped his work, gave a few instructions to the people next to him, and ran over. "Miss, this place is dirty, messy, and dusty. Please don't stay here any longer."
Luo Shuiyao waved her hand. "No problem. I just came back and heard from Manager Liu that you guys have already started working. Why are you so anxious? Why don't you take a couple of days off?"
Zhao Qian smiled brightly: "Rest? What's the point of resting? You don't know, when I told them about this, they were so happy that no one could wait. They were all eager to come and work immediately, and I couldn't stop them. Seeing this, I thought, why not just not pick a day and start working today. The sooner the house is built, the sooner everyone can have a place to live."
After hearing this, Luo Shuiyao stopped trying to persuade him. She turned slightly to the side, glanced at the people working and looking at her, and smiled politely at them.
Then he turned around and said, "In that case, you guys go ahead and get busy. I'll go find a way to get the wood, tiles, and other supplies we'll need later."
Zhao Qian bowed with both hands and said, "Then I would like to thank you on their behalf, Miss. Thank you for your concern."
"Since we are here, we are a family. Don't think too much, just do your job well. If there are any remaining difficulties, let Zhuangzi come to find me." Luo Shuiyao said.
Zhao Qian nodded in agreement, said goodbye to Luo Shuiyao, and turned around to continue measuring. When he left, he did not forget to take Zhuangzi with him.
Luo Shuiyao carefully avoided a little girl who rushed over, gently touched her head, and turned away.
In the courtyard, Luo Shuiyao sat at her desk, tapping her fingers lightly, her thoughts racing. Now that they had begun construction, she no longer needed to worry about weeding the foundation. Her immediate concerns were food and lodging for the men, as well as the lumber and other materials needed for the building. Food and lodging were no problem for now, as the farm had ample provisions, but she still had to make plans. However, the lumber proved to be a much more difficult issue.
As I was thinking, there was a knock on the door: "Miss, are you in the room?"
"Yes, come in." Luo Shuiyao recognized Chun Xing's voice and called out immediately.
Chun Xing gently pushed open the door and walked in: "Miss, I have something to ask you. I couldn't find you just now. Where have you been?"
"Zhuangzi and I just went out to do something. Do you have anything to ask me?"
Chun Xing has been sent by her to handle affairs these days and is very busy. It is rare to see her free at this time.
