It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 368

Suddenly it was October, and the early mornings and late nights in Changning Prefecture began to feel noticeably cooler.

Jiang Yan counted on her fingers and found that she had been in Changning Mansion for nearly half a month since the day she sowed the redroot vegetable seeds. Now, four trembling seedlings had emerged from the soil.

Because autumn was approaching, she was very stingy when trying to sow the seeds. She counted them one by one and buried six seeds, hoping that everything would go smoothly and all of them would germinate successfully.

But now the germination rate is over 60%, which is not bad.

Chunying walked out of the house and saw Jiang Yan squatting on the side. "Did he grow up after a night?"

"No." Jiang Yan replied in a muffled voice, then asked, "Is there a lot of work today?"

Chunying shook her head: "I don't know yet."

Chunying was not responsible for the affairs of Changning Prefecture. She was only ordered to come and wait for possible deployment and provide assistance.

But that's why she took Jiang Yan with her, and the two of them took on work on three sides: the duties of Heding Prefecture, the commission of the Changning Prefecture branch of the Fu Mansion, and the arrangement of the thirteen guards of the Fu Mansion.

Because Tian Jiu was directly seconded by Shisan, he hasn't seen Chunying for almost ten days.

As third-party members whose trustworthiness needs to be discounted, the tasks assigned to them are generally numerous and diverse. Although it is not difficult to get started, it is very boring.

Jiang Yan couldn't help feeling melancholy when she thought of this. The so-called basic information actually contained important content. Since they didn't forget to be on guard against them during their cooperation, why couldn't they just take a little more effort to screen it all themselves?

"I have no desire to be promoted or to gain the approval of my supervisor. I just want to get paid without doing any work."

Chunying was speechless: "Then you are destined to be disappointed."

"What if? I'm counting on you." Jiang Yan said as he slowly stood up. "But before you successfully become the chief steward, I'll try my best to get some more benefits."

Chunying: "???"

"We've been in Changning Prefecture for nearly a month and have brought two sets of clothes with us. We don't know how long we'll be staying here. The weather is getting colder, and since no one brought us clothes from home, we can only spend some money to buy new ones."

Jiang Yan hadn't changed into new clothes for a long time, and she felt a little excited when she thought about it.

Thirteen had barely returned to the courtyard when Jiang Yan arrived. He asked in surprise, "Did someone tip you off?" Even so, it shouldn't have been so quick. He himself wasn't sure when he'd be able to return to the house.

Jiang Yan shook her head and nodded again: "That's not important. I came here to ask when our autumn and winter clothes will be distributed to the three of us."

Thirteen did not answer, but asked in confusion: "Don't you have a reward?"

He remembered that after Jiang Yan provided the clue about the red root vegetable, she argued with him and secured a fairly generous reward for the three of them. Even if it was distributed evenly, it would be enough for him to buy autumn and winter clothes.

"Reimbursement?"

"Don't ask me, I'm not responsible for the money."

Jiang Yan feigned shock. "Guard Thirteen, your proposal is outrageous. We're on a business trip and haven't been told our return date in advance! If we have to pay for the necessary clothing, wouldn't that be like working for nothing, wasting money and effort? Life is hopeless, so why bother?"

Thirteen: ... "This is not my responsibility. Ask Chunying or the manager of this house."

"I've asked. According to custom, we took the trouble to come and help, so the money has to be paid by the people in Changning Mansion. But the manager of this house said that you hired the people, and you are the one who needs help."

Jiang Yan thought of the lady in charge who was very good at shirking responsibilities, and she was sure that she was no match for her.
