EBE Chapter 166 Run fast
Chapter 166 Run fast
After receiving the farm tools, County Magistrate Cao wanted to accompany Zheng Sisi to the farm, but Zheng Sisi refused in order not to delay his official business.
Later, Magistrate Cao arranged for Captain Zhao from the county government and a bailiff to take them there. Zheng Si thought it would be more convenient with an acquaintance leading the way, so she agreed.
A team of carriages and horses stopped at the gate of the county government office for a while and then set off out of the city, making the people on the street happy for nothing. They thought that a distinguished person had come and would stay at the county government office or inn. With so many people spending money, they could make some money. However, they didn't expect that the person would leave after staying for a while, and they got nothing.
Zheng Sisi had no idea what the people were thinking. She was now sitting in the carriage, speechless when she saw the people trying to squeeze together.
There were three little sisters, four maids, and eight people in total including her. The carriage was too crowded, so the two maids had to go to another carriage. After pushing and shoving, Rose and Winter Solstice finally got off the carriage.
Zheng Sisi assigned a job for the two of them, which was to continue cutting cardboard. Judging from the current situation, a deck of playing cards was not enough to play with.
In fact, she has mahjong, playing cards, checkers, etc. in her space, but she is afraid of exposing herself by taking them out, so she can only make them herself.
When the three sisters saw the two maids leaving reluctantly, they all felt that there was something they didn't know.
Zheng Zhimin asked, "Sister Sisi, what's wrong with them? I didn't see this kind of expression when I asked them to take another car this morning!"
Zheng Sisi held her forehead and said, "They want to play games, too."
Zheng Zhimin said: "What game? Can we play it too?"
You see, Zheng Sisi's worries are right.
Zheng Sisi said: "It's a numbers game, a fast-paced numbers game played with playing cards."
The three of them also became interested. He Qianqian said, "Sister Sisi, please teach us how to play too."
Zheng Sisi had no choice but to go back to her old job and explain the fast-running cards and rules to the three of them.
The three of them nodded after hearing this, and Zheng Zhimin urged: "Hurry up and play, we will study on the side.
Then Zheng Sisi led two maids to play cards. There was a spectator sitting next to each of them, who would occasionally give instructions on when the cards were played incorrectly.
After playing a few rounds, players changed roles and Zheng Sisi and her two maids became spectators.
Zheng Zhimin was the most active, and her voice could be heard from time to time in the carriage: "Ah, I won again, hahahaha!"
"No, I don't want to play this card. It's a wrong move."
"You can't regret your cards!"
"You can't let her. Don't give her the order."
"Yes, I have a bomb! Hahaha!"
"I still have wings on my plane. I'll report it if there's no bomb."
Rose and Dongzhi in the carriage at the back were itching to change carriages.
In the carriage of the third prince in front, the three people were very curious. They could hear several people singing in the morning, but they couldn’t understand what they were saying in the afternoon. What was going on? The three of them also wanted to see what they were doing.
Fortunately, the half-hour journey was over quickly. Captain Zhao, who was leading the way, said that they would soon enter the village's territory.
Zheng Sisi ignored the people playing cards and lifted the curtain to look outside.
The farms here are all built on the mountains. Her two farms are next to each other, but belong to two different villages. One farm has more than 50 acres, and the other has more than 70 acres.
Because they are different villages, they are managed by different people. Some people bought the farm, but most of them are tenants.
After their group of more than 50 people entered the village, they did not see anyone working in the fields. Zheng Si thought that it might not be time to work yet, so the fields were still barren.
Captain Zhao was puzzled as he walked along. Normally, when they came down to patrol, they would always see some people in the fields, but today he didn't even see a shadow of them.
He led his team directly to the manor's courtyard and settled the Third Prince and Princess Anping first.
