Chapter 160 Leaving for the City

Seeing everyone leave happily, I told Zi Su to invite Uncle Cao over. I was going to ask him to manage the affairs of the manor. After deciding on the candidate, I should leave. Otherwise, I would miss the appointment with Jiang Chuan.

Mr. Cao, who was invited in by Zi Su, was a little nervous. He didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing for me to look for him.

As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw the four of us sitting here and immediately bowed. "Greetings, Madam. Hello, Madam. I wonder if you have called me here. Is there anything you want to ask?"

In order to ease Mr. Cao's nervousness, I asked Zisu to move a stool over for him to sit down, and also gave Mr. Cao a bowl of boiled water.

Seeing him holding the water bowl, his mood calmed down a bit. I then said slowly, "Uncle Cao, I will be going to Weibei soon to serve the emperor. This manor is far from home, so it is a little inconvenient to manage. We need someone to help manage it. After looking at so many people in the manor, we always think you are the most suitable. What do you think?"

"Madam, if you think I'm suitable, I will try my best to manage this place well." Uncle Cao looked serious, and it was obvious that he was really willing to take over the management of the farm.

"Okay, I'll leave this place to you for now."

"But ma'am, if something happens here, where can I find you?"

"This place is closer to the city. If there is something you can't solve yourself, go to the city to find the owner of the Women's Square. In addition, Manager Su will come here regularly. You can discuss anything with him. If it doesn't work, you can also go to the town to find a milk tea shop. That's also opened by me. Remember these."

"If these don't work, you can go to the He residence in the small town to find someone. That may also work." Brother He also came over and said.

"I remember, I remember. But this year, the rice here is about to be harvested. Madam, how do you think we should arrange the rent?" Uncle Cao immediately talked about the situation at hand.

This is indeed a problem. In previous years, the rent in the imperial farm was taken away. There is no warehouse for storing grain here. Even if there is, it is so far away from where we live, and it is not convenient to manage. If it is lost, no one will know. The safest and most secure place is the big house.

"As for the boss's food, let's transport it over! What do you think about dragging it all back to the mansion?" Su Chen suggested.

"Okay, then let's do as you say. Wait until the money is collected here and the rent is collected. Send it all back to the mansion. You, Shopkeeper Su, will be responsible for these matters. I'd like to ask Uncle Mo to take care of them."

"Boss, this is my job and it's natural for me to do it." Su Chen hurriedly expressed his opinion.

"Just go with Jiangchuan without worry! As for the rest, we will take care of it. We are short of manpower, isn't Lao Wu still idle in the house? He should stretch his muscles and bones. He can't do big things, but he can still help you with small things." Uncle Mo saw that I was in a predicament of not having enough manpower. He wanted to help, so he made a promise.

I felt relieved. To be honest, I was not at home, but this year was the bumper harvest year I had been looking forward to for a long time. The millet from the two farms was not a question of whether it was worth money or not. It was the feeling of satisfaction that made me feel particularly at ease.

"Uncle Cao, how many days will it take for the rice here to be harvested?"

"It will take about two or three days for Madam to get started. Shopkeeper Su can stay here for a few days. Then we can escort the rent back."

"Okay, then Manager Su, you and Uncle Mo can stay here for a few days! After things are settled, you can go back all the way. This way you don't have to travel back and forth."

"Okay, boss. You can go to northern Henan without any worries."

Things are almost done now. These are the things we should think of. As for the things we can't think of, that's up to them.

Put the things in order and put them on the carriage. Su Cheng will stay here and take a closer look at the manor. Uncle Mo will take us to the city.

Our carriage was in front, Brother He's carriage was behind, and Su Chen and Zi Su's mother, Zhang, saw us off at the door.

The carriage started to move, and Zi Su looked out the window at Zhang standing on the roadside, waving goodbye to her mother. It was obvious that she was reluctant to leave.

"Shiso, we'll be back soon," I comforted her.

"Yes, I know, ma'am."

"Shiso, how old are you?"

"Madam, I am 15 years old."

…The carriage kept moving forward amidst the casual conversation and gradually disappeared on the road.
