Farm Girl's Manor

"Ah, I heard your houses are finished; take this Commandery Princess there to have a look," suggested the Chang’an County Master suddenly, her interest piqued to visit the newly built resettlement houses on the way back from the winery.

"Sure, I’ll take the Commandery Princess right away, but the path is a bit rough, so please be careful," Mo Yan responded with a smile, then turned to ask Yan Junyu, "Would the Young Master like to come along?"

Yan Junyu was also somewhat interested, so he lifted his chin to signal Mo Yan to lead the way.

Mo Yan went ahead to guide the two of them. They passed through two orchards and arrived at the first set of resettlement houses.

This set of resettlement houses was quite large, with a full three rows of thirty-six rooms, all fully furnished with necessary items, just waiting for the soldiers from the border to return in a couple of days so the cotton quilts and bedding could be laid out.

Mo Yan had not expected the two to come over and did not bring keys; they could only stand outside the houses to look in. Fortunately, the windows were opened daily for ventilation. Standing by the window and looking inside, they could see very clearly.

Seeing that the items inside were all new and ranged from comprehensive to day-to-day necessities, Chang’an County Master nodded in satisfaction, "When I return to the palace, I shall speak well of you to the Emperor uncle, he really should reward you handsomely."

"This is all thanks to the Crown Prince’s merit; I cannot take it for myself," Mo Yan politely declined, truly indifferent to the so-called reward.

Although those in the know understood that the idea to resettle the soldiers came from her, the credit could only go to the Crown Prince. If Emperor Huian were to loudly reward her, people would easily perceive the real story. She had no desire for the limelight; the reward could be forgotten, as long as she could claim this good deed, that was enough.
