The two of them planted the pear blossom tree together. Soon, there were a few small mounds in the courtyard. Su Xi looked at the mounds on the screen and smiled. Her heart was filled with anticipation. Planting trees in the game gave her a much greater sense of accomplishment than planting trees outside. Because time passed quickly in the game, she could imagine a few saplings growing healthily in the coming year, swaying in the wind.

Originally, the pear blossom tree was just an ordinary tree to Su Xi. It was no different from any other tree.

But now, it seemed that because of Zaizai, the pear blossom tree was given more and more meaning in her heart.

When Zaizai saw the pear blossom petals in his hand, he would look forward to her arrival.

And when she walked on the street and saw a pear blossom tree in full bloom, she would think of the duplicitous little dumpling in the game.

Su Xi held her phone and couldn't help but smile.

After planting the trees, a layer of snow had fallen in the courtyard.

It was only four or five in the afternoon in Su Xi's world, but it was already midnight in the game. It was the coldest time of the night. Su Xi saw that Zaizai's fair and clean skin was pale from the cold. She couldn't help but push Zaizai's head with her fingers, chasing him into the house.

The child was growing and it was time to sleep.

"Are you chasing me to sleep?

I'm not sleepy. "

Lu Huan finally felt the presence of the ghost god that had been by his side. He was excited and happy. Naturally, he didn't feel sleepy at all. He wanted to talk more with the ghost god.

Even if he was the one talking and asking, the ghost god could only answer with a "yes".

Not sleepy, my ass. Su Xi saw that Zaizai's eyes were red from the lack of sleep. He even secretly yawned with his sleeves. Her maternal heart overflowed like a tidal wave. She only thought, oh my god, even the puffy-faced Zaizai's yawn is so cute.

She really shouldn't spend money to make original art!

Lu Huan returned to the house, washed his hands, and wiped them dry with a cloth. He then looked at the empty space in the house. The corners of his eyes were bright as he asked, "But, do ghosts need to sleep?"

Generally, immortals and ghosts didn't need to sleep or eat. However, Su Xi was afraid that if she said she didn't need to, Zaizai, whose face was full of curiosity, would be even more unwilling to sleep. Hence, she tugged at Zaizai's left hand, indicating — yes, ghosts and immortals also need to sleep.

Zaizai's expression immediately turned serious. "You must be tired. It's my fault for pestering you with so many questions."

Su Xi was overjoyed. 'So obedient?'

After saying this, Zaizai looked around and pondered for a moment. Then, she turned around and went to the next room. She said to Godfiend, "Follow me."

There were quite a few rooms in the Firewood Courtyard. Moreover, Zai Zai had repaired all of them some time ago, so they looked quite decent.

He pushed open the door to the room next to his, then carried a new bedding and laid it on the bed, carefully tidying up a clean room.

However, there weren't any tables or chairs in the room, only a bed.

He scratched his forehead with his fingertips and said apologetically to Godfiend beside him, "I don't know how or where you usually sleep, but in the future, don't sleep in the open. I'm afraid that other big ghosts will bully you. If you don't mind, you can stay with me first. There are still many things missing in this room. I'll go and purchase them tomorrow. You can stay in my room tonight."

These words popped up word by word on the screen. Zaizai's steamed face was full of seriousness.

Su Xi, who was outside the screen, was about to die of laughter. Oh no, Zaizai really thought she was a ghost.

Big ghosts bullied her?

Why was he so cute?

She didn't know what Zaizai had imagined her to be. Just now, Zaizai asked a lot of questions, so she told Zaizai her gender. Zaizai blushed for a long time.

Moreover, if it was a ghost who couldn't see, it wouldn't be a problem for her to stay in one room. However, after Zaizai knew her gender, he actually asked for two rooms.

Su Xi simply couldn't control her evil desire to pinch his face again. However, she was afraid that he would blush for a long time like before, so she tried her best to restrain herself and suppressed the impulse.

… However, when they first started playing games, Zaizai had always been cold. Su Xi didn't expect that Zaizai would be so vigilant against outsiders but so protective of his own family. He was also a very attentive Zaizai.

She was afraid that if she didn't stay in Zaizai's room tonight, Zaizai would be so melancholic that he wouldn't be able to sleep.

Anyway, Zaizai couldn't see where Godfiend went, so she might as well follow Zaizai's wishes.

Thus, Su Xi tugged at Zaizai's left hand and smiled. "Okay."

The two of them had forgotten about the osmanthus flower bass. It had already become cold in the winter night.

Lu Huan returned to his room. When he put away the three boxes, he was about to take the osmanthus flower bass dishes to the room next door that had been temporarily cleaned up.

Su Xi immediately grabbed the corner of his clothes. Zaizai, be good. Our family isn't poor anymore. We won't eat cold food.

When Lu Huan saw that Zaizai couldn't move, he knew what Godfiend meant. He was worried that the dishes would be cold. Would he feel uncomfortable eating them?

A warm current flowed through Lu Huan's heart.

Even though it was just a small concern, it was still extremely precious to him … After all, ever since he was young, there had never been anyone who cared if he was hungry or not, let alone if he ate cold food …

It was a pity that she couldn't eat with him.

He turned around and said to Feng behind him, "Don't worry. I'll put it in the kitchen. We can warm it up tomorrow."

Only then did Su Xi let go.

Lu Huan took the food boxes and stepped out of the threshold. He turned around and helped her close the door.

When the door was closed, he couldn't help but stop and look inside the room.

The room was still empty. Although he couldn't see her, he knew in his heart that she was here.

Maybe she was sitting by the bed, maybe she was standing in front of the window, or maybe she was squatting in front of him and looking at him with some amusement …

When Lu Huan thought of this, he was full of expectations for the rising of the sun tomorrow. In the past, he was always alone. His days were lifeless. But now, it was as if a candle flame had been lit in his heart. It was swaying and full of hope.

"See you tomorrow." Lu Huan looked at the empty sky, his starry eyes shining.

It was the first time Su Xi had received Zaizai's "see you tomorrow". It was like a promise to see each other every day. It made her heart feel warm.

She looked at Zaizai in front of the door. She couldn't help but stretch out her finger and lovingly rub his little head.

"…" Lu Huan's expression was a bit strange. Why did Godfiend treat him like a child? He had already passed his fourteenth birthday. At the age of fifteen, many people had already gone to the battlefield. He was no longer a child.

Su Xi, who was outside the screen, naturally didn't know what Zaizai was thinking. She lovingly watched Zaizai go back to his room to sleep. Then, she opened the shop.

Anyway, the exam was already over. Since she had nothing to do, she might as well seize the time to make the greenhouse.

The second task required her to produce two thousand kilograms of grain. The sixth task required her to control the famine and feed the people. Both tasks were related to the grain output. She had to make the greenhouse.

Before the exam, she had planned to send it to Zaizai's farm, but it had been delayed.

After Su Xi divided the subjects, she directly chose liberal arts. She didn't do any research on physics, chemistry, or biology. If she didn't play this game, she wouldn't have Baidu questions like "The Principle of Greenhouse".

She buried her head in self-study and sighed. It was really unbelievable that the game urged her to study!

The modern greenhouse's functions were already very complete. However, the cooling system and automatic control system were obviously not possible under the ancient conditions in the game. Su Xi directly cut them out.

For the current cold environment of the Yan Dynasty, the biggest impact on grain output was naturally the heating system and the irrigation system.

Su Xi used the same method she used to explore the winter shelter. She exchanged for a simplified version of the greenhouse's blueprint from the shop and then pieced it together with wood and candles.

It was like putting together building blocks. This time, it was a little more difficult than last time. It took a few hours to barely piece together a simplified version of the greenhouse.

Su Xi didn't know whether it could be used or not, but she first placed it in Zaizai's courtyard. Then, she directly placed the blueprint she exchanged from the shop on the table in Zaizai's room.

Zaizai was so smart. Maybe after seeing her greenhouse, she would be inspired to improve it to something better.

After doing all this, Su Xi went offline full of anticipation.

Lu Huan lay in the room next door. In reality, he didn't sleep at all. He leaned against the bed and looked out the window at the last heavy snow before the spring sun. The snow fluttered in the air. He gently pursed his lips, his eyes bright.

The next morning, he saw a small hut that seemed to be made of wood and oilpaper. Its shape was similar to the cold shelter from before, but the style was a little more novel. Could it be that she had brought something new that could help with the planting of crops?

The corners of Lu Huan's mouth rose. He couldn't suppress it for a long time.

He walked to the door of the room next door. He didn't know if she was still there, so he knocked on the door. However, no one answered. Did she return to the underworld?

Lu Huan made a promise with the ghost god that he would stuff a pear blossom into his hand when he appeared in the future.

So now that he saw that she wasn't there, although he felt a little disappointed, he wasn't as worried as before. Instead, he felt more or less at ease. She probably had something to do and would come back again.

He immediately pushed the door open and entered. The neat bed hadn't been touched, and there was an extra blueprint on the table. The note he put there last night was also taken out.

As soon as Lu Huan saw the note, he remembered the embarrassing thing he had done. He immediately walked to the table and burned the note with red ears.

Then, his gaze fell on the blueprint.

The blueprint seemed to depict the principles of some building. Lu Huan picked it up and looked at it carefully. The more he looked, the more surprised he became.

He always felt that the underworld that the ghost god beside him came from seemed to be thousands of years ahead of the dynasty he lived in.

Lu Huan could understand the principles of the things she gave him after thinking about it carefully. But if she hadn't taken these things out, the people of Lu Huan's dynasty wouldn't have even thought about it. In short, they were all very novel things and concepts.

Just like the winter shelter last time, the new shelter this time would definitely be very effective.

Lu Huan took into account that the Yan Dynasty was suffering from a frost disaster and there was no time to delay. Now that the ghost god wasn't here, he might as well take advantage of this time to go to the farm.

So he put on his outer cloak and went out.

Inside the farm, ever since Lu Huan made arrangements last time, under the guidance of Master Ding and the others, everything was running in an orderly manner.

The chicken sheds had all been built. Taking advantage of the bad winter market, they bought a lot of hens from other farms that couldn't lay eggs or could only lay a few eggs at a low price.

The farm now had more than a thousand chickens, so they built a few more chicken sheds than originally planned. They still had a capacity of sixty chickens per shed.

The other farms that raised eggs almost couldn't produce any more eggs, but even in the winter, the high officials and nobles still needed to cook with eggs, and even put them in soups.

Thus, during this period of time, almost all of the eggs circulating in the market came from Lu Huan's farm. It was equivalent to taking advantage of the cold winter to occupy the market.

It was just that he specifically ordered Master Ding to arrange for the workers to be divided into different vendors to sell, so that no one in the market noticed.

In addition, the eggs were also divided into different grades. The high officials and nobles didn't care about money and were very vain. When they saw that the eggs were divided into good and bad, they naturally didn't hesitate to spend more money to buy good eggs.

But in reality, the better eggs were just smoothened by the workers and packaged with some cheap silk. They were put in a box, but they were sold at ten times the price of ordinary eggs.

After earning money from the high officials and nobles, they didn't extort money from the common people. Some of the eggs were smeared with mud and sold at the original price.

As well as the leftover eggs every day, Lu Huan had Chang Gongwu distribute them to some pregnant refugees or refugees with children at home.

In this way, the chicken sheds operated in an orderly manner. The banknotes in Lu Huan's hands were like a snowball rolling up from a small snowball, increasing in number. In just a few short weeks, in addition to the original two hundred and fifty taels, after deducting expenses, he had more than five hundred taels.

On this day, Lu Huan came to give instructions about the construction of a new type of shed above the crops that the workers were planting.

Chang Gongwu had been very melancholy after he finished building the winter shelter. One reason was that his benefactor hadn't come for a long time, and the other reason was that he was a carpenter. Other than helping the workers turn over the ground, he couldn't do anything else.

But now — — although he didn't understand the use of the new shed, he had incomparable trust in his benefactor. Whatever Lu Huan told him to do, he would do. As a result, as if he had received an important task, he excitedly began cutting wood to build the new shed.

After making these arrangements, Lu Huan left Chang Gongwu's small house at the farm.

When he came, he was wearing a black cloak, and when he left, most of the workers working at the farm didn't see him. Some saw him, but they didn't know who he was. They only felt that the owner behind the farm was very mysterious.

At the same time, rumors began to spread in the capital. They said that the young Godly Doctor who had previously saved thousands of people at Yong An Temple was now secretly helping the refugees. Some people had received kindness, and there were more eggs in front of their poor homes.

However, it was not an easy task to verify it.

After Lu Huan returned from the farm and took off his cloak, the guard he had previously sent to the courtyard came to report.

He told him that the old madame's rheumatism had improved a lot, and she could get out of bed and walk.

Tonight, she had set up a table at Mei Peaceful Yuan to congratulate him on his victorious return from the Autumn Swallow Mountain Hunt and asked him to go.

When this matter was reported, several servants next to the guard lowered their heads, secretly surprised.

In the past, concubine-born children weren't allowed to sit at the table at the old madame's banquets. This was the same as concubines not being able to sit at the table. But now, the old madame didn't care about this at all, and specifically asked them to invite him over — —

After a series of events, did the old madame now treat the third young master as her legitimate son?

Fortunately, although the third young master was a cold person, he didn't seem to be someone who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. In the past ten days, although he had gained power, he didn't take any revenge on the servants who used to look down on him.

Of course, it was also possible that he didn't put them in his eyes and didn't want to waste the effort …

But no matter what, the servants who used to neglect him now had very complicated feelings and were holding their heads in their hands.

Some of them were even tempted to try and flatter him.

Lady Ning, Lu Yu-an, and Lu Wenxiu naturally had to attend the old madame's banquet. Lu Huan didn't like this kind of occasion, but he could roughly guess the old madame's thoughts. Previously, Lu Wenxiu and Lu Yu-an had tried to make trouble for him in every possible way, and the old madame had seen it all. Today, she held this banquet to warn the two brothers not to obstruct him anymore — —

Of course, Lu Huan's heart was clear. Did the old madame suddenly act like this because of the affection of an elder?

Did she suddenly care about him?

No, of course not.

After the Autumn Swallow Mountain hunting incident, the old mistress had placed all her bets on herself.

She wanted him to focus on entering the imperial court, so naturally, she didn't want him to be distracted by his two idiotic legitimate brothers.

In other words, the old madame just thought that she was on the same boat as him, and was trying her best to help him get rid of some trouble.

Lu Huan's face was cold, but he didn't say much. He changed his clothes and followed the servant.

After spending a day and a night here, Su Xi had just woken up.

When Su Xi woke up, it was the weekend. The sun shone through the window. She grabbed her phone in a daze and heard a notification pop up on her phone.

System: [Please accept Main Mission 7: Tomorrow, at the banquet held for the Autumn Swallow Mountain Hunt, please help the protagonist resolve the difficulties caused by the Zhenyuan General, and assist the protagonist in obtaining better martial arts, military strategy, and physical strength. Finally, you will receive the invisible support of the Zhenyuan General.]

[Mission Difficulty: Nine stars. Reward: 500 gold coins, 10 points.]

Su Xi immediately woke up when she saw this and subconsciously opened the game.

Receive the support of the Zhenyuan General — —?

She analyzed it a bit. The Zhenyuan General was a very strict person. He was very harsh on the soldiers in the military camp, but because of this, he had a fierce and heroic reputation. He was now close to seventy years old, but he was all alone and had no successor.

Prince Ning Fu's old madame was his distant relative. Logically speaking, he should value Prince Ning Fu more and help him.

However, he probably looked down on Prince Ning's worthless appearance, so he also looked down on Prince Ning Fu and Lu Yu-an.

Zaizai's identity hadn't been revealed yet, and he was Prince Ning Fu's bastard son. Because of this, he looked down on him even more.

… … He still didn't know how to make things difficult for Zaizai tomorrow. It seemed that he had an important mission to complete tomorrow.

However, there was no rush today. Su Xi switched the interface to Zaizai's location.

She saw that he was walking towards Mei Peaceful Court.

Previously, because Su Xi couldn't unlock Mei Peaceful Court, she didn't see what it was like inside. However, during the Autumn Swallow Mountain Hunt, she completed the side mission of saving the Second Prince. She still had two points left, so she could unlock another place.

Thus, she directly chose to unlock Mei Peaceful Court.

Mei Peaceful Court was where the old madame lived. The scenery there was more beautiful than Prince Ning Fu's other places. The last heavy snow had already fallen last night. Now, the plum trees in the entire courtyard were covered in fine white sparkling snowflakes. Looking at it, it was like a sea of plum blossoms.

Zaizai was wearing a snow-white cloak and walking on the bluestone path. A few servants followed behind him. He already had the faint appearance of a noble.

However, his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

Su Xi searched for a long time but couldn't find a pear tree. Thus, she quickly switched the interface to Autumn Swallow Mountain and pulled down a pear blossom from the pear tree.

Damn, plum blossoms weren't enough, why did it have to be pear blossoms?

However, Zaizai's sense of ritual had to be satisfied.

Then, the interface switched back.

On the screen, Lu Huan only felt a gentle breeze brush past him. He was slightly startled, and his heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously raised his head. In the next second, his slightly clenched palm was pushed aside. A pear blossom was swept up by the wind and fell into his palm.

"You're here." Lu Huan softly murmured.

His tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed, and his pitch-black eyes had a subtle and gentle smile.

It was as if a spring breeze had suddenly come, and thousands of pear trees had bloomed.
