This is the second time he has held an arena competition. He never thought that he had already earned thirty thousand taels in two arena competitions.

Sure enough, the skinny camel was bigger than the horse, and the bandits who came to surrender were indeed rich, each and every one of them paid in twos and fives.

Even though there are many winners, there are even more losers, and he, the banker, becomes the biggest beneficiary.

Sure enough, you still have to rely on sideways to get rich suddenly.

Xiao Jiuxi was happily counting money, when suddenly there was a faint sweet smell in the air.

Even though he had made a small amount of money by setting up an arena, in addition to that, he had been entangled in various affairs in the northern suburbs for more than half a month, and he didn't even have the time to return to the palace.

Working from morning to night every day, being immersed in the crowd of men every day, the jade-like skin has been roughened, and the air is filled with the smell of sweat.

It is in this environment that the slightly sweet taste stands out from the crowd, very, very, very conspicuous.

Although Xiao Jiuxi liked to lie down, he was not stupid. He immediately felt something was wrong and put down the money in his hand.

Frowning, he sniffed again to make sure that the scent was not an illusion and had a tendency to gradually become stronger.

He immediately stood up and said, "One song, come in."

…

When Li Yewu arrived in the northern suburbs, intense preparation work was going on here.

In half a month, many cattle and sheep pens have been built, the sheds are almost built, and the troughs and basins for holding fodder are ready. As long as the cattle and sheep are brought in, they can be raised normally.

The cattle and sheep pens have been almost integrated, and now most of the main workers have gone to the factory to dig the foundation.

Not to mention the character and habits of the bandits, at least what Li Yewu saw at this time was that everyone was sweating and covered in mud, but no one was lazy, no one was messing around, and they were all working hard.

As for the people who were constantly fighting, with their faces bruised and bruised, I didn’t see them.

Li Yewu raised her eyebrows, and for a moment she couldn't figure out whether the complainant was exaggerating, or whether the person being complained had already gotten wind of it and hid it.

Compared to Li Yewu, the old housekeeper and his party secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, everyone who was working also noticed the luxurious carriage. When they saw a slender and beautiful woman getting out of the carriage, everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

Unexpectedly, the princess would come here, and everyone was a little flattered. They quickly bowed to the princess and saluted.

The sound of "Hello, Princess!" spread farther and farther, and finally in a trench not far away, someone covered in mud jumped up and waved to Li Yewu.

"Hey, why are you here?"

This man's long black hair was tied up in a bun, and his tanned face was completely dull. He was dressed in rich clothes, stripped of his linen clothes and covered in mud, but his temperament could not be blocked. He was as gorgeous as a noble in distress, attracting attention.

Seeing Xiao Jiuxi's appearance, not to mention Li Yewu, even the old housekeeper and others were shocked.

Damn it, have they ever seen Xiao Jiuxi so down and dirty in their lives?

Even the days of hard training in the martial arts field are never this good, right?

Xiao Jiuxi didn't care about his own image at all. He didn't even throw away the shovel in his hand. He ran up to Li Yewu and looked around her calmly.

Not seen for half a month, perhaps due to the fine clothes and fine food and careful maintenance, Li Yewu's whole body is white and rosy, with starry eyes and white teeth. At a glance, she feels extremely comfortable.

That feeling... is like scorching heat meeting ice, winter meeting fire, tiredness meeting soft bed, which makes people endlessly daydream and infatuate.

Xiao Jiuxi forgot her prepared words for a moment and just looked at her blankly.

Li Yewu was startled by Xiao Jiuxi's appearance at first. His first reaction was that this second-generation ancestor was acting like this, right? Even a normal worker wouldn't be as exaggerated as he was.

But when he ran towards her and stared blankly at her without saying anything, Li Yewu's thoughts were shaken again.

Isn't this guy tired and stupid? Look at the silly son of the landlord... Li Yewu felt a little sympathetic for a moment, and didn't know what to say.

Seeing the young couple looking at each other affectionately under the sun, inseparable, the old housekeeper looked like a stranger, cleared his throat and spoke.

"The sun is high, so you two masters should find a sheltered place first and then talk slowly."

Xiao Jiuxi was stunned and realized: "Ah, yes, um... go to my dormitory."

After all, Xiao Jiuxi was the one who had lived here for many days. Even though he lived in the same wooden house, everyone still built a separate small courtyard for him.

Although it is very simple, it is relatively luxurious and comfortable compared to the wooden houses that the public lives in.

There is also a row of small bungalows next to this small courtyard. This is where Yige and others rest. On the one hand, it is convenient to take care of Xiao Jiuxi, and on the other hand, it can also protect Xiao Jiuxi.

Xiao Jiuxi took them to his room, which was a small suite on the second floor. There was a large low table on the first floor with a mat and Mrs. Bamboo on it.

The second floor is the living room and bedroom.

However, Xiao Jiuxi usually takes a nap at the low table on the first floor during the day and only goes back to the second floor at night.

Because the second floor is relatively muggy during the day.

Li Yewu followed the local customs and went straight to the squat on the first floor.

Not to mention, after sitting down, I just felt the cool breeze blowing from all around, which was really cool.

She came here under the scorching sun at noon. Although the carriage was running all the way, the air was stuffy and hot. In addition, the clothes of the ancients were too stuffy. To say it was not hard would be a lie. She was already sweating profusely.

Now, sitting on this small couch, with the cool breeze blowing around me, I instantly feel that my pores are opened, and I feel extremely comfortable.

Xiao Jiuxi waved her hand and sent someone to deliver iced sweet soup.

Late spring and early summer is the bayberry season, and sweet bayberry soup is sour and sweet to relieve the heat. It is the best summer treat in this weather.

Li Yewu looked at this bowl of pink and sweet soup that could relieve the heat, and said sincerely: "You are living a good life."

Look at this small villa, and then look at this sweet soup. Taking a nap here while drinking sweet soup and counting money, let alone, I am really happier than anyone else.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. Xiao Jiuxi twitched her lips in embarrassment: "What a good life. I have been more miserable than bitter gourd for the past half month. Look at the mud all over me. You are not joking. My clothes are naked."

It was a dry day.”

"That's really hard work." Li Yewu nodded along with his words: "By the way, there is no bathroom here, how can you deal with such a mysophobia?"

"There are all grown men here. Why don't we have a bathhouse? We all go to the Chu River to bathe."

Xiao Jiuxi's words were not a joke. During this period, he actually went to Chu River to take a bath.

After all, this place is full of old men who don’t pay much attention to things.

Li Yewu was a little surprised. After all, in her impression, Xiao Jiuxi was a turtle-haired second-generation ancestor with a mysophobia. Her words about "flawless skin disdaining the use of ordinary herbs" were really impressive to her. She never thought that he also had it.
