There wasn't a wall in Prince Ning Fu that didn't have a crack. The news that Lu Huan had been called to Mei En Yuan by the old madame quickly reached Lady Ning's ears.

She gritted her teeth and heavily threw the teacup on the table. The tea spilled out, startling the servant who came to report.

The servant knelt down in a panic, "Madame, please calm down!"

Madam King Ning said angrily to Mammy A beside her, "What on earth is Old Madam thinking? Is it because of what happened last time by the stream that she really favors the son of a concubine?"

"Wen Xiu has been punished by her to reflect on his mistakes for an entire month. By the time he comes out, the Autumn Swallow Mountain Hunt in half a month will already be too late!

She actually wants that bastard to go in Wen Xiu's place! "

Mama A saw that Lady Ning was furious and quickly knelt down, saying, "As long as madame doesn't want that bastard to go, can he really go?"

Lady Ning sneered, "The Autumn Swallow Mountain Hunt, the princes and all the sons of the capital's influential families are going. In this kind of occasion, how can an insignificant bastard show up?

He even coaxed the old madame to let him take Wen Xiu's place!

What method do you have? "

Mama A said, "There's still half a month before the hunt. Madame has many methods to make sure he doesn't show up on that day. Why are you so anxious?

If something unexpected happens, he won't even be able to leave Prince Ning Fu or get on a horse. How can he participate in the Autumn Swallow Mountain Hunt? "

Hearing this, Lady Ning's expression became slightly better.

— — Indeed, he was only a bastard.

Although this bastard was very tenacious and had a strong will to live, causing her to be unable to kill him all these years, if she really wanted to make him disappear from Prince Ning Fu, wouldn't it be as easy as turning over her hand?

Her expression was fierce as she asked the servant a few more questions about what Lu Huan had been doing recently.

Ever since the old madame had ordered that the residence be given to him and that no one was allowed to disturb him, no one dared to go near the remote old firewood courtyard.

After all, even Prince Ning was afraid of the old madame. No one in the manor dared to disobey the old madame's orders.

The answer she received was that the bastard had spent three taels of silver to buy many tools, seeds, and chickens. He had begun to grow vegetables and raise chickens in the courtyard.

Lady Ning heard this and laughed mockingly. She thought that he would use the money to bribe the servants and do something big. She didn't expect that he only wanted to keep himself warm and eat enough to raise chickens and grow vegetables in his small courtyard.

'Forget it, this little pitiful fellow doesn't have any lofty ambitions. I was too wary of him.'

Lady Ning's side slightly let her guard's's side.

The next day, Lu had been waiting for a reply......

When he opened his eyes in the morning, he felt a burst of nervousness. Before he could put on his outer robe, he jumped out of bed and walked to the table in his thin inner robe. With complicated and indescribable feelings, he picked up the paper and looked at it.

..............................

"..

. "Lu Huan didn't give up. He turned the paper again and looked at the other side.

However, the other side was also blank.

Lu Huan lowered his eyes slightly. A trace of disappointment flashed through his dark eyes that even he didn't notice.

But he quickly raised his head, put the paper back on the table, and continued to press it down with ink. He also placed the lantern that had run out of oil to the side to make it more conspicuous.

He thought that according to the pattern of that person's appearance, that person shouldn't have appeared last night. It was normal that they didn't see his handwriting.

He waited for three more days.

Outside the room, a rooster crowed. Lu Huan planned to go out today and use some food to exchange for a bow and arrows in preparation for the Autumn Swallow Mountain hunt in half a month.

However, the bows and arrows sold by the peddlers in the market were all inferior bows used by ordinary hunters. The tension of the bow arm was not enough, and the arrowheads were not sharp enough. If one wanted a good bow, it would be better to buy birch wood and feathers and carve one himself.

Birch wood and feathers were rare materials. If he wanted to buy them, he would need at least five taels of silver.

Five taels of silver was not a small amount. Prince Ning Fu's housekeeper only received three taels of silver a month.

Lu Huan frowned. He didn't think about it for the time being.

He put on his old robe and lowered his head to touch the animal skin that had been sewn on by that person. His fingertips immediately felt rough.

However, when he thought about how someone had sewed the cloth stitch by stitch, and how the stitches were densely packed together, he could not help but reveal a hint of gentleness in his usually expressionless eyes and brows.

No matter how rough it was, warmth was enough.

He glanced at the overly luxurious fox fur coat in the wardrobe. Although it was graceful and luxurious, he didn't have the slightest intention to touch it. He also didn't have the intention to pawn it for money because he lacked money.

He walked out of the room. Like a few days ago, he first walked into the chicken shed to see if there were any newly laid eggs.

As soon as the chickens saw him walk in, they fluttered and flew up.

Lu Huan looked at the cold shelter that the person had placed in his chicken shed. He recognized the linoleum paper and other materials used, but the way the shelter was built was very strange. He had never seen such a structure in any ancient books or in the homes of people who raised chickens.

However, the strange thing was that under this strange and novel anti-cold shelter, the temperature inside was obviously much warmer than the freezing weather outside.

In other words, this cold shelter was very novel and useful. So much so that no rich people had used it until now.

But how could that person make it?

Lu Huan was very puzzled. With a curious mood, he approached the hen's nest and reached out to touch it. He was immediately stunned.

He couldn't help but show a bit of shock.

Because when he reached out to touch it, he actually touched more than a few eggs. It was as if there were dozens of eggs!

The nest was a bit too dark. Lu Huan went back to get an oil lamp and then hurried back to light it up. He took out the eggs one by one.

The more he took out, the more surprised he was. Because in just one day, the number of eggs that these hens laid was simply beyond his imagination!

When he took out all the eggs, the straw on the ground was almost covered with eggs.

Lu Huan frowned and counted. There were about sixty-eight eggs.

… They were piled up into a small hill.

The hens looked at him innocently, and then surrounded the feed and pecked crazily, as if there was some kind of growth catalyst in the feed.

He was speechless.

Lu Huan knew from ancient books that under normal circumstances, a hen could only lay one egg a day.

What's more, it was an extremely cold winter now. Many places had no harvest and frost disasters. The number of hens laying eggs would be greatly reduced. The vendors who raised chickens on the street outside all frowned, worried that they wouldn't be able to survive this winter.

But how could he —?

How could his hens lay eggs so crazily?!

And they didn't stop?!

Just when he came in, hens slipped in to lay eggs?!

He looked at the feed again with a strange expression, as well as the cold shelter that the person had placed here. He only felt extremely complicated in his heart.

… If it was before, he might have thought that there was a trap and wouldn't have believed that person so easily. But after a few days, he temporarily believed that the person didn't have any intention of harming him. In that case, there should be no problem with these eggs.

Thinking of this, Lu Huan's face, which was as white as snow, was covered with a layer of warm light from the oil lamp in his hand.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the eggs. After a while, he gently raised the corner of his mouth and found a basket. Like a child, he sat on the ground and put the eggs in one by one.

Su Xi had been in the hospital for more than ten days, and it was almost time for her to be discharged. Therefore, early in the morning, Mother Su came to the hospital to accompany her for the last check-up. After the check-up, she could be discharged the next day.

Mother Su didn't worry about money now. She was refreshed and walked as if she was floating. She also generously bought two jianbing fruits for Su Xi and transferred two hundred yuan to her on WeChat as pocket money for this week.

Su Xi held the jianbing fruit in her mouth and was moved to tears.

After such a delay in the morning, three full days had passed in the game.

Su Xi couldn't hold back. While she was still waiting in line for the check-up, she took out her mobile phone and logged into the game.

When she came online again, it was rare that Zaizai didn't go out. Instead, he was busy in the yard — and he was wearing the clothes that she had prepared for him.

If the original Cub was described as a skinny figure wearing an old white robe, then the fur on the animal skin made the current Cub look like a hunter-gatherer with short arms and legs. It looked like a little leopard running around on the screen!

Su Xi was waiting in line. She puffed up her cheeks and held back her laughter. Her heart melted!

She now knew the mentality of the players who spent money to buy skins for their game characters.

If it were her, she also wanted to see Zaizai wear all kinds of clothes.

… It was a pity that this Zaizai was more arrogant and wouldn't easily change into the clothes she gave him.

But, what was Zaizai busy with?

Su Xi saw him going back and forth in the chicken shed. She carefully zoomed in on the basket in his hand. She was shocked when she saw that there were so many eggs.

It had only been three days, and these hens had laid so many eggs?!

Was the effect of the oxytocin bought from the shop so terrifying?!

"It's also thanks to the cold shelter."

The System said, "All the products in the shop are 100% effective, so the recovery effect of the typhoid medicine is also relatively strong. Are you sure you don't want to spend more money, young lady?"

Although Su Xi had money, she was definitely not a girl who would spend it without restraint. She ignored the System and stared at the zai zai running around on the interface for a while with an amiable expression on her face. Then, she switched the interface to his house, intending to see if there was anything that needed to be cleaned up.

So, at this moment, she caught a glimpse of the ink, paper, and inkstone on the table and the few words.

— — "Who are you?"

The handwriting was very strong. It was written very quickly but not carelessly. It could be seen that Zaizai was in a complicated mood when he wrote it.

Su Xi was stunned. Was this also an interaction between the protagonist and the player in the game design?

Of course, she also wanted to interact, but when she tried to drag the brush on the table and dragged it crookedly on the paper, no ink came out.

She was restricted and still couldn't communicate with Zaizai.

She had to spend 100 points — — how long would she have to do the mission?!

Su Xi threw the brush away helplessly.

She said to the System, "At present, the two main missions have not been finalized. Apart from the main mission, is there any way to increase the points as soon as possible?"

The System said, "It has already been introduced last time. In addition to the main mission, you can also pave the way for your protagonist by strengthening his skills, interpersonal relationships, external environment, external image, and physical fitness. These can also increase the points."

External environment was the aspect that Su Xi spent the most points on since she started playing the game. As for the other aspects, except for the two face-slaps from interpersonal relationships which increased the points, there was almost no other increase.

Physical fitness — —

Was it to find a way to coax Zaizai into doing push-ups or something like that?

But she couldn't communicate with him, so she definitely couldn't make him do this subjectively for the time being.

Skills — —

Just as Su Xi was about to study how to start in this aspect.

The System popped up a side mission, "Side Mission 1: Please personally tie a beautiful bow on the bow that the protagonist is about to make.

There will also be rewards for completing the side mission. "

Su Xi was speechless.

？？？

What kind of strange mission was this?

Could it be that although Zaizai's face was cold and aloof, he was actually a delicate little prince who liked bows on the inside?

She asked, "Are there any other side missions that can be done at the moment?"

The System popped up, "Prince Ning Fu has a chef named Chef Ding. He is very proficient in spring plowing and autumn harvesting. A few days ago, he was falsely accused by the housekeeper and suffered humiliation. He is planning to resign and return to the countryside.

In the future, he can become the protagonist's right-hand man who uses an alias to buy land outside and conduct business transactions. Please find him and let him be used by the protagonist. "

These two side missions were a bit ahead of schedule, so Su Xi noted them down for the time being.

She closed the side mission interface and went to the courtyard to see how Zaizai was progressing.

In the courtyard, Lu Huan was putting all the eggs into a wooden bucket. He wrapped it in an old robe and went to Prince Ning Fu's side door.

For the past three days, these hens had been in the warm chicken shed and maintained the number of eggs that each hen laid every day.

At this time, he counted all the eggs and found that there were a total of 192 eggs.

So many eggs were very heavy. If Lu Huan hadn't secretly practiced martial arts since he was young and had great strength, he probably wouldn't have been able to lift them.

When the imperial bodyguard who went to Prince Ning Fu for the transaction took the eggs, he immediately bent over in fright.

The side door was close to Fourth Madame's courtyard. Su Xi had already unlocked it last time, so she followed the interface and watched as Zaizai handed the eggs to the imperial bodyguard.

The bubbles that came out of the imperial bodyguard's head were all:

？？？？！！！

Imperial bodyguard Third opened the robe above the wooden bucket. When he saw the number of eggs inside, his jaw almost dropped. He was completely dumbstruck!

Everyone in Prince Ning Fu knew that after the Third Young Master received an entire estate from the Old Madame as a reward, he began to grow vegetables and raise chickens. This was understandable. After all, the Third Young Master wasn't like the other two Di Young Masters who received twenty taels of silver every month. Although his current situation was much better than before, it was still equivalent to being exiled. He could only be self-sufficient in terms of food and clothing.

Therefore, he accepted Lu Huan's money and agreed to help Lu Huan go to Prince Ning Fu for the transaction. He also thought that Lu Huan was just selling a few things every month in exchange for some food.

But who would have thought that …

The Third Young Master had only bought a few chickens for a few days, and he had already let the hens lay so many eggs?

So many eggs?!

Oh my god!

Imperial bodyguard Third calculated the amount of silver and almost fainted.

Outside, a catty of pork was thirty copper coins, and an egg was six copper coins. These 192 eggs were worth one thousand one hundred and fifty-two copper coins, which was more than one tael of silver.

If the Third Young Master could earn more than one tael of silver just by raising chickens for three days, then if he added in other things, wouldn't he be richer than the other two Di Young Masters in a month?!

This …

Imperial bodyguard Third swallowed his saliva and suddenly felt that it wasn't a bad idea to resign from Prince Ning Fu and follow the Third Young Master.

He secretly helped Lu Huan sell the goods, while Lu Huan went back through the side door.

Of course, Lu Zhuan had never thought of staying in Prince Ning's Mansion all the time. He wanted to rely on this small piece of land to grow some crops for self-sufficiency.

He needed money, so he needed more land and more manpower. As for the novel and special cold proof shelter that the man sent over, if he could understand the principle behind it, he might be able to make many copies of it. He could then use an alias to build a farm outside.

Once he had a farm, there would be an endless supply of money.

However, these thoughts weren't the most pressing matter for Lu Huan.

His most pressing matter was that it was already the evening of the third day. That person … did he see the note he left behind?

Thinking of this, Lu Huan hurriedly walked through the bamboo forest and went back.

In the past, every time he came back here, it was cold and cheerless. His heart didn't fluctuate. He only felt that the world was big, but there was no place for him to belong. But now, there was a faint hope in his heart that even he himself couldn't detect.

… No matter if that person was playing with him or making fun of him, he actually hoped that person would continue and not suddenly disappear …

Lu Huan pursed his lips and lowered his dark eyes. He tried his best not to let anyone see the light in his eyes. With complicated and indescribable feelings, he tried his best to pretend to be calm as he went back to the house.

However …

He quickly walked over and held his breath as he looked at the note. But it was still —

There was only his own handwriting.

However, Lu Huan's line of sight suddenly froze — the brush beside the paper had clearly been touched. Although the traces were very subtle, his perception was amazing and he still noticed it.

Then, that person had been here!

… But, there was no reply.

Why?

Did he not care?

Or did he think it was unnecessary?

The cold wind gently blew in from outside the window, blowing the thin paper in Lu Huan's hand. He was silent, crumpled the paper into a ball, and threw it away.

Outside the screen, Su Xi could only watch helplessly as Zaizai lowered his steamed face. The light in his eyes was fleeting and lonely.

She: …

The crepe in her hand didn't taste good in an instant.
