Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 339 The Concubine of the Age 46

Gu Nuanyi really didn't want to get involved in the fight between the two barons for the title.

Just as she was about to refuse, she heard the butler come to report: "Miss, Baron Jeffrey's wife is here."

Mrs. Wen Ze sat down gracefully and took a sip of the teacup: "She must have heard that I was here, so she couldn't wait to chase me here. Miss Gu, do you want to agree to my proposal? My proposal is not difficult for you to do, right? It's just providing two plots of land."

Gu Nuanyi curled her lips. Is this a problem of two plots of land? ?

Then I thought of the two wastelands that I had to reclaim in the spring, and I immediately had an idea. If we don’t need land, wasteland is also land!!!

He immediately said with a smile: "Okay, it's just two plots of land. I don't have much else in my manor, but there is a lot of land!!"

Mrs. Wen Ze looked at Gu Nuanyi's smiling face, but felt a chill on her back.

I looked around and saw that the window was blocked, so I asked the maid to close it, but the chilly feeling still did not go away.

Soon, Mrs. Jeffrey was invited in by the housekeeper.

Looking at Jeffrey's gorgeous dress, Mrs. Wen Ze smiled meaningfully.

I'll find someone to expose this matter later and see who is the one who is extravagant and wasteful! !

Jeffrey raised his proud head and glanced at Gu Nuanyi and his old rival, and found that neither of them was dressed as beautifully and gorgeously as he was.

The head suddenly raised higher

Gu Nuanyi was a little worried that she would raise her neck too high and stick it out...

Gu Nuanyi was the first to ask, "Baroness Jeffrey, are you here to experience farming?"

"Of course, farming is a piece of cake for me." Mrs. Jeffrey held her head high and never lowered it.

Gu Nuanyi still couldn't see her face clearly, she could only see her nostrils.

Um... and the boogers that weren't cleaned out...

Very good, Gu Nuanyi no longer has the desire to eat breakfast

"Then please change your clothes first. The clothes you are wearing are not very convenient for you to work..."

Seeing Mrs. Jeffrey's expression change, Gu Nuanyi immediately said, "Mrs. Wen Ze hoeed the land herself last time~~"

Hearing this, Mrs. Jeffrey immediately said, "Hurry up and lead the way!!"

Gu Nuanyi narrowed her eyes as she looked at Mrs. Jeffrey's back. Ha, it's easy to control you.

Mrs. Wen Ze looked at Gu Nuanyi with amusement: "You use this trick quite well, she really wants to compete with me in everything."

"Mrs. Wen Ze, let's go. I'll take you to see the land first. You can choose first~~"

"Thank you very much, Miss Gu."

Gu Nuanyi brought Madam Wen Ze to a corner of the manor, pointed to the large piece of wasteland in front and said, "You pick it."

Looking at the land in front of her that was much more barren than last time, Mrs. Wen Ze swallowed her saliva and felt that she shouldn't have come today...

“What’s there to pick?”

Gu Nuanyi pointed to the land on the right and said, "Why not? Look, there are obviously fewer stones in this land, and these two plots of land are next to each other. You can just compete with each other. You have already hoeed the land once, you will definitely beat that lady!!"

"Of course!" Mrs. Wen Ze also raised her head: "Then I will choose the one on the right."

After choosing the location, the two returned to the reception room.

The main reason was that Mrs. Jeffrey hadn't come yet, and they didn't want to stand outside in the cold wind.

They both drank two glasses of hot milk, but Mrs. Jeffrey didn't come back.

Mrs. Wen Ze frowned slightly: "Could this person have changed his mind?"

Gu Nuanyi also asked the housekeeper to check the situation

After a while, the housekeeper came running over and said, "Mrs. Jeffrey disliked the poor quality of the clothes we prepared and refused to wear them."

Gu Nuanyi pressed her brows and said, "If she doesn't want to change, then don't change. The dress is hers anyway. It's her own fault if it gets dirty."

The maid who was helping Mrs. Jeffrey change her clothes was also relieved when she heard what the housekeeper said. Mrs. Jeffrey was really too difficult to serve.

The maid folded the clothes and took them out.

But Mrs. Jeffrey was not happy with it. She felt that Gu Nuanyi was just trying to please her: "I am a baroness. How can I wear such poor fabric?"

The housekeeper still had a smile on his face and said in a gentle and polite tone: "Madam, we didn't prepare so many clothes. You came too suddenly. Now we only have this set. If you think the fabric is bad, you can wear your own clothes."

"This is a dress, a dress!! Can I work?"

The butler did not change his expression when facing the angry Mrs. Jeffrey: "Then this is the only solution."

Mrs. Jeffrey glared at the housekeeper, and the two of them were in a stalemate.

The maid carrying the tray rolled her eyes when she saw the butler blocking her view. She was really busy and hard to serve.

Just as the two were in a stalemate, Gu Nuanyi sent someone to say again: "The Earl is here!"

When she heard that Count Edgar was coming, Mrs. Jeffrey no longer cared about the fabric of the clothes.

He hurriedly urged the maid to help him change his clothes.

Mrs. Jeffrey walked into the reception room with a friendly smile on her face and graceful steps.

She lifted her skirt gracefully and bent her knees slightly: "Good day, father."

Count Edgar nodded slightly: "I heard that you all agreed to come here today to experience farming, right? Then let's go, don't waste time here."

After saying that, Count Edgar walked out first.

Mrs. Wen Ze and Mrs. Jeffrey glared at each other and quickly followed.

Gu Nuanyi was behind the two of them, watching them walk and glare at each other.

Although he didn't say a word, his eyes expressed it.

Sparks almost flew where their eyes met...

When they arrived at the place and looked at the wasteland, Mrs. Jeffrey's eyes, which had just sparked, suddenly became clear.

“This…is this the ground??”

"Well, how can wasteland not be land? It won't be wasteland once it is reclaimed. Sister-in-law, do you need me to show you how to do it?" After saying this, Mrs. Wen Ze raised her eyebrows provocatively at Mrs. Jeffrey.

Mrs. Jeffrey was immediately angry: "It's just hoeing the ground, no big deal, I can definitely do it better than you, and my father will definitely praise me when the time comes."

Without waiting for Gu Nuanyi to explain the situation, Mrs. Jeffrey took the hoe from the servant, raised it high and smashed it down.

"Buzz~~~" Mrs. Jeffrey felt like her brain was about to be stunned...

Count Edgar looked away immediately. It was so embarrassing!!!

Gu Nuanyi looked at this scene and laughed out of anger. She shook her head speechlessly and said, "Madam, to open up wasteland, you need to pick out the stones and tree roots in the ground first. You went down there all at once and the hoe is rotten..."

Mrs. Jeffrey felt extremely ashamed and wanted to ship the goods, but Count Edgar was watching, so she had to hold back her anger.

His teeth were clenched and he said word by word: "It's just moving stones... no big deal!!"

Mrs. Jeffrey glared at Mrs. Wen Ze, and Mrs. Wen Ze immediately understood what she meant.

The two rushed into the ground in an instant, just like a race.

Count Edgar sighed: "Miss Gu, I really made a fool of myself..."
