Chapter 209 - 208: Make a Good Impression on Sixth Master
Jinrong, upon seeing Hu Jing’s exaggerated expression, immediately said, "Why are you looking at me like that, sir? I don’t mean anything else. If Qi Ye gets involved with Yuanfan, and, you know, remarries... Once she becomes a family member of an official of the court, how can she continue to work outside?"
Hu Jing glanced at Jinrong, gave a noncommittal grunt, and looked away.
What does that mean? Jinrong was taken aback and quickly added, "I’m really thinking of our enterprises. If Qi Ye is not managing them, who knows what will become of the dairy farm and the Dairy Products Store? I’m even considering opening two more dairy farms in the neighboring county next spring. If Qi Ye is snatched away by Young Boy Jiang, where will I find such an effective person?"
Hu Jing turned his gaze back and spoke slowly, "I haven’t said otherwise, Sixth Master. You seem a bit anxious."
"..." Jinrong was taken aback; indeed, he seemed a bit anxious.
Turning into the village path, Jinrong and Hu Jing got out of the carriage and rode the horses along the field path.
The weather of this autumn day was quite favorable, with bright sunshine that was perfect for harvesting crops. Looking around, there was a buzz of activity in the fields of Clear Water Village, with oxen occasionally seen plowing and farmers laboring amongst light-hearted laughter and banter.
Jiang Yifan and his group were easy to spot from afar, with several figures whose simple clothing still clearly stood out from that of the ordinary farmers.
