Chapter 547 - 282: You’re Too Beautiful_2
Butler Pan stood up after listening and still glared fiercely at Jack.
Not long after, Pan Ying arrived again, accompanied by Blue Bead.
Seeing Pan Ying, Jack quickly covered his mouth halfway through whistling. He didn’t dare to approach any closer and kept saying, "sorry, sorry, I apologize, I apologize..."
Pan Ying ignored him and got into the ox-drawn carriage with Qian Yixiu and Blue Bead. Everyone else walked; Pan Shoufu and Huang Tie followed alongside the ox cart.
They headed towards the back of the courtyard, Qian Yixiu lifted the curtains and listened to the explanations of Pan Shoufu and Huang Tie along the way.
Behind the courtyard, there was a row of connected small yards, which were the servants’ quarters. Previously, only Huang Tie, the family of three of Pan Shoufu, Su Siwu and his wife, and two other servants’ families lived there. It was only when the masters from the city came that more servants arrived, and the back quarters became filled.
After passing a patch of woodland, they saw dry grass everywhere; around a hundred people were sporadically digging the ground, some were cutting trees or moving stones. Huang Tie said, "Please look, Miss, to the north and east, we have bought three hundred and twenty acres of wasteland. It’s the slack farming season now. We just got the manpower sorted out the day before yesterday, and work started yesterday. By next March, the pond should be ready."
He went on about where to pile up the soil, where the paths would be, and where the houses would be built...
Meanwhile, Jack wasn’t idle; he saw that there were no flowers in the wasteland and not even leaves on the trees. After looking for a long time, he finally spotted an evergreen tree in the distance, ran over, and picked several of the lushest tips of branches, bundling them with dried grass. Not daring to approach Pan Shoufu, he ran over to Huang Tie’s side and extended a handful of "leaf flowers" into the carriage, saying in broken Daqianese, "Miss, for you, my sentiments."
Blue Bead, who sat by the window, smiled, made way, and said to Pan Ying sitting in the middle, "Look, for you."
