Assassin Farmer Chapter 93: Its Not Easy to be a Matchmaker

Chapter 93

After a few days, the eighth lunar month soon passed. With the golden rays shining on the remaining blooms, Fan Hua Town was now ready to welco the harvest season.

Lian-momo chose so strong and nimble servants to go to the harvest fields with Lin Si Yao. She had actually wanted to hire so farrs to do it directly. Afterall, the Guye of the Princes mansion shouldnt do the laborious work like that. However, as soon as she was about to voice her thoughts, Lin Si Yao had shot her a glance. She imdiately swallowed her words back.

She had to ask the servants to take care of their Guye, to not let him do too much heavy work. But what happened in reality? The three servants couldnt work as much as Lin Si Yao.

While the n were reaping the fields, Liang-momo directed the maids to cook sweet green bean soup, cool tea and so food to help cool down the body. They also made so delicious and nutritious desserts and tily brought those light refreshnts to the field.

Su Shuilian embroidered so simple stuff with Chun Lan. When she felt tired, she would lean against the soft couch. When she felt bored, she would find so books to read. Sotis, she chatted a little bit with Chun Lan about dostic trivia.

And it had to be said that Chun Lan, the maid, was really handy. Just tell her the na of any drinks or food, she could do them all. And, she could make any kind of garnts. Although her embroidery skill wasnt as excellent as Su Shuilian, she could make all kinds of inner clothes, doudou, socks, and shoes And, her products were all beautiful and perfect, not a single piece of extra thread. No wonder Liang-momo assigned Chun Lan to personally serve Su Shuilian. Chun Lans competence was several tis better than the two maids that used to serve her when she lived in Su House.

Chun Lan, did the forr Princess send you here, right? Su Shuilian asked on a whim, one day. Chun Lan was currently concentrating on making a pair of tiger head shoes*. This place was tens of thousands of miles away from the Imperial City. Surely no maid or servant wanted to co to this isolated, rural area to serve her.

*(Tiger head shoes/ Tiger-head shoes are a traditional Chinese folk handicraft used as footwear for children.)

Young Lady, Chun Lan volunteered to co here to serve you. Chun Lan saw Su Shuilian close her book and sat on the chair near the table. She looked as though she got sothing to chat with her. Thus, she put down her work, stood up and poured a cup of herbal tea that they brought from the Imperial City, which helped nurture the babies .

This ti, the elder Wangye and Wangfei had ordered Xia-momo and Liang-momo to prepare and bring many goods, not only the items for the labor, but also daily necessities. They had brought food, precious fabric sheets in many colors, top-quality tonics and teas, and even the precious items for displaying and decoration. In general, they had stuffed ten big horse carriages. And, if the goods werent enough, they would buy more. As Chun Lan used to work directly under Xia-momo, she knew how much the elder Wangye and Wangfei cared about the Fourth Young Lady.

Perhaps because their Forth Young Lady had to stay out there for almost ten years, the elder Wangye and Wangfei felt sorry and regretful. Or, perhaps, their Young Lady was now married and pregnant, the elder couple were more worried than happy.

No matter what, they were sure that the Fourth Young Lady had taken an important position in the elder Wangye and Wangfeis hearts. Besides the new Wangye that had just inherited the royal title, the Fourth Young Lady took priority in the minds of the Elder Wangye and Wangfei.

Thus, among the maids, servants, and guards that were chosen, who werent willing? Although this place was pretty far away from the Princes mansion, after a while, they had adapted and beco to like the tranquil, simple air of this small town. If they were asked to stay here for the rest of their life, they would all agree. At least, now they could live like common residents. They could freely leave the house; they could freely talk while doing house chores, or freely going out to take in fresh air. In this place, things like competition that they had to tread on each other to beco the first-grade maid or for a little chunk of bonus would never happen.

This ti, their works were simple and easy. There wasnt any heavy job. As long as they finished their tasks, in their free ti, Liang-momo allowed them to borrow books to study or make their own accessories or clothes. It was almost like the normal life of an embroiderer living in the countryside.

Moreover, to Chun Lan, she had another more important reason to be here. Because he ca too, so she didnt hesitate to co to this place.

Him? Whos he? Su Shuilian asked with a smile.

Ah! Why she let it slip out of her mouth? Chun Lan covered her mouth in embarrassnt. Young Lady

Let guess The Chief Guard, right? It was because Chun Lans gaze was different whenever she looked at Chief Guard Xiao.

Su Shuilian discovered that Chun Lan got shy easily. Or, she should say that when the girls were in love, they got shy easily. With a sudden surge of playfulness, she decided to beco a matchmaker. Anyway, her days of nurturing the babies were too long and boring.

Lady! Chun Lan turned around, embarrassed. Heavens! Why had her elegant, tender Young Lady teased her? Ah! Just let her die then. How could she face the people in the street anymore?

Chun Lan, Su Shuilian shook her head, burst out laughing. I wont tell anyone. Of course, if you want to tell Chief Guard Xiao about this, I will be very happy to do that.

Young Lady! Dont! As soon as Chun Lan heard that, she couldnt be shy anymore. Imdiately, she hurried to turn around and pull Su Shuilians arm, explaining. Young Lady, Chief Xiao got soone in his heart. You should never tell him that I I She was so hurried she stamred.

Alright, alright, I understand Su Shuilian didnt tease her more when she said that. She patted Chun Lans hand, talking, But Chun Lan, how did you know he got soone in his heart?

I I heard from the other maids. Previously, Guard Xiao was the Chief Guard of Xiang Wangyes mansion. Because of his relationship with our Prince, he moved and worked for our Jing Wangyes mansion. However, I heard that the person he likes was the first-grade maid of Xiang Wangfei. Chun Lan sighed. The first-grade maid of Xiang Wangfei? She could guess that Guard Xiao wouldnt bat an eye on the maids here even once.

Chun Lan, I think youre really nice. With an above average appearance, mild temper, and excellent craftsmanship, if you want to beco the first-grade maid of Wangfei, it wont be impossible. Su Shuilian gently comforted her. She was talking honestly. After several days living together, Chun Lans tenderness and her sewing, embroidery techniques had made Su Shuilian give her another glance. And, she was also able to subdued both Situ Yuns and Tian Da Baos stomachs.

Young Lady Youre so kind! As Chun Lan heard her say that, she sobbed, talking and sniffling. She had worked for the Princes mansion for more than five years, and no one had ever praised her for anything. And now, it was the Fourth Young Lady who had complinted her. If soone was asked if any lady would complint a maid by telling her that she was beautiful, nice, and skillful? No, no one has ever. Thus, she was so touched she wanted to cry. And she actually cried.

wu wu wu [crying]

Chun Lan Su Shuilian beca bewildered when she saw the girl sobbing. She hurried to give her a silk handkerchief. Chun Lan, did I say sothing wrong? Or did I say sothing I shouldnt? Nono, dont cry. Dont cry

Chun Lan saw the Lady shed supposed to serve beco flustered to comfort her, she beca even more touched. All the hosick feelings she had buried for five years and the pressure, the grievances of a suppressing life in the Princes mansion turned into tears, streaming down her face.

Im sorry, this is Chun Lans fault, Young Lady! Its my fault. Chun Lan shouldnt behave like that in front of you. Chun Lan had cried so much her tears couldnt fall anymore. After choking with emotions and grievances, she got herself together and found herself acting improperly in front of the Fourth Young Lady. Heavens! I have no manners! If she were still in Prince Jings mansion in the Imperial City, she would have lost half of her life.

Its okay. We are humans, we cant avoid those sad monts. It ans you dont think of as a stranger. Su Shuilian smiled until her eyes narrowed, giving the other a cup of fragrant tea. Alright, since you have cried till you were satisfied, its about dinner ti right? Su Shuilian pointed at the setting sun outside their window. A Yao and Liang-momo are about to co ho from the field.

Yes, my Lady! Im going to cook now. Does young lady want to eat anything? Chun Lan rubbed her swollen eyes, resuming her tender temperant. It seed the scene of her choking on her sobs was just a dream to Su Shuilian. However, seeing her eyes swelling like the two almonds, Su Shuilian was sohow anticipating. She was curious to see what Guard Xiao, who worked under Lin Si Yaos order and guarded outside, would feel afterwards.

Sigh, forgive , Im just too bored. However, Im anticipating to see the result.

Mhm, whatever is fine. I dont have food aversions. Su Shuilian wanted to hurry her to the door and glance at Guard Xiao, who was standing upright in the shade of the cherry tree in the yard. Good, he reacted. At least, he had glanced at Chun Lan.

Combining her previous sobbing and her red, swollen eyes, if he had so feelings for her, it would have so effect on Guard Xiao, right? At least, he would go to the kitchen to comfort Chun Lan for a while?

Su Shuilian thought while walking back to the central room. She lazily lay on the solf pillow on the kang as she wanted a nap.

Young Lady! Xiao Heng requests to see you! A mont later, a deep and low voice ca from the door of the central room.

Su Shuilian opened her drowsy eyes. Xiao Heng? Guard Xiao? What did he want to et her for? Shouldnt he be in the kitchen comforting Chun Lan?

Co in. She stooped and adjusted her clothes, sitting neatly on the kang, answering the request.

Xiao Heng was the most outstanding guards here, and he was really handso. No wonder why that little girl Chun Lan liked him a lot. However, compared to her A Yao, he was still a little lower.

Su Shuilian inwardly compared the two while she silently waited for him to speak.

Young Lady this little one dont know how to talk to you about this. But My Lady, this little one wonders what mistake Chun Lan had caused to make you scold her that much? Guard Xiao kneeled in front of Su Shuilian, asking in a neither servile nor arrogant tone.

Right, he has questioned . It was the only thing Su Shuilian had in her mind was: I scolded Chun Lan? When did that happen?

Su Shuilian rolled her eyes at Xiao Heng in front of her. After a long mont, she furrowed her brows. Who told you that I scolded her? Did Chun Lan tell you that?

No, this little one heard it Xiao Heng said just half of his sentence. Then, he lifted his head, Young Lady didnt scold her?

No, Su Shuilian retorted angrily. If you care about her, why dont you go and directly ask her? Why did you question ?

This little one offended young lady, please punish this insolent one. Xiao Heng was confused, but he still seriously admitted his error.

Punish? Okay, then you go to the kitchen and tell Chun Lan that I suddenly want to eat fish soup, Su Shuilian sipped her tea, pretending to be serious.

Young Lady, this this little one has received the order, Xiao Heng gave her a skeptical glance before respectfully leaving the central room. It seems the Fourth Young Lady isnt like what they had rumored.

It doesnt seem like Chun Lan doesnt have hope. Haha but why Ive beco a master who mistreated her maids? Turns out its not easy to beco a matchmaker. Su Shuilian shook her head smiling. She carried her big and heavy belly, walking to the front gate to wait for Lin Si Yao, who would co ho from the field soon.

Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

Su Shuilian inwardly compared the two while she silently waited for him to speak.

Young Lady this little one dont know how to talk to you about this. But My Lady, this little one wonders what mistake Chun Lan had caused to make you scold her that much? Guard Xiao kneeled in front of Su Shuilian, asking in a neither servile nor arrogant tone.

Right, he has questioned . It was the only thing Su Shuilian had in her mind was: I scolded Chun Lan? When did that happen?

Su Shuilian rolled her eyes at Xiao Heng in front of her. After a long mont, she furrowed her brows. Who told you that I scolded her? Did Chun Lan tell you that?

No, this little one heard it Xiao Heng said just half of his sentence. Then, he lifted his head, Young Lady didnt scold her?

No, Su Shuilian retorted angrily. If you care about her, why dont you go and directly ask her? Why did you question ?

This little one offended young lady, please punish this insolent one. Xiao Heng was confused, but he still seriously admitted his error.

Punish? Okay, then you go to the kitchen and tell Chun Lan that I suddenly want to eat fish soup, Su Shuilian sipped her tea, pretending to be serious.

Young Lady, this this little one has received the order, Xiao Heng gave her a skeptical glance before respectfully leaving the central room. It seems the Fourth Young Lady isnt like what they had rumored.

It doesnt seem like Chun Lan doesnt have hope. Haha but why Ive beco a master who mistreated her maids? Turns out its not easy to beco a matchmaker. Su Shuilian shook her head smiling. She carried her big and heavy belly, walking to the front gate to wait for Lin Si Yao, who would co ho from the field soon.
