Farmer Fubo is open for business

More than ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and soon it was July, and there was still no rain in Anyang Mansion.

But as the water from the large reservoir in Lingqiu County filled the county moat and continued to flow into the river, the villages on both sides of the river immediately boiled.

A certain village secretly filled up the river channel, hoping to intercept the water source and introduce it into its own fields and ponds. As a result, the people downstream gave up and took hundreds of people to fight with the villages upstream.

Seeing that the situation was not good, County Magistrate Zhao immediately sent officials to mediate the situation and asked each village to line up from top to bottom to divert water one by one.

In this way, for more than ten days, the water slowly filled the ponds in nearby towns and villages, and the ditches and canals were filled with water. The villagers finally settled down, and those who wanted to escape from their fields also hesitated and did not leave in the end. Choose to wait and see.

After all, it's not easy to live away from home. If you're not careful, your whole family will die in a foreign country.

Magistrate Zhao was very excited when he saw that the people were gradually calming down. He immediately notified the villagers to irrigate the fields and plant wheat soon.

After that, he rushed to the reservoir and found that the water in the reservoir continued to flow out, as if it would never run out. Magistrate Zhao finally let go of his anxiety, and was even more convinced that Song Sanshun and the others had hit an underground spring.

"What a strange man. He must not be buried." County Magistrate Zhao decided that when the crisis in Lingqiu County was lifted, he would give the magistrate a secret and tell the truth about what happened here.

Why don't you report it now? Of course, County Magistrate Zhao was afraid that the government officials would come to snatch people away, and he would be in a deadlock when the time came.

It’s August soon, and it’s already a bit cold in the morning and evening.

Song Sanshun and others became increasingly busy, and finally had to recruit another twenty people to join the well-drilling club and disperse them to dig wells in various villages.

Because of this, they often didn't go home for several days. They only came back once in a while to get the statues from Chang'an.

Many people come to Songjia Village every day, including those riding horses and donkeys, and those driving mule carts.

Some of them came to invite Song Sanshun to dig wells and ponds, while others came to Songjia Village to watch the sacred spring.

What's more, the whole family came to Songjia Village and rented a house nearby. They wandered to the pond every day to enjoy the scenery.

Therefore, there are often many people around the pond. Some of them sit in the shade of the trees and chat, and some hold up a large oilcloth umbrella by themselves, move a stool and sit under the umbrella with friends to enjoy the water.

Among these people, the largest number are scholars. They come together and rent in villagers' homes, as if they will live there forever.

Seeing this scene, the Wu family and the Qian family and the Jin family simply set up a pavilion and set up a stall in the village, selling goldfish jelly as well as some noodles and tea.

Not to mention, business is booming.

Upon seeing this, other villagers followed suit.

Old Zhao and Widow Cui also set up a shed next to the road crossing outside Songjia Village, selling wontons and noodles, and the business was good.

Therefore, a pergola was set up at the door of every house in the village, and tea was placed, such as wild chrysanthemum tea, bamboo heart tea, honeysuckle, mint, etc., all of which were made from local materials, and each house was different.

For this reason, Song Chengqi, the youngest grandson of the patriarch's family, was very busy. Together with Chang'an, he wrote tea brands for the villagers' homes.

Chang'an also copied a few poems from Little Goldfish, and each family's tea shed hung a sign with corresponding poems.

For example, the seller of honeysuckle tea, she copied a poem: In the spring evening, the mountain flowers are quiet and fragrant, and the red and purple flowers bring time away; the honeysuckle is clear and fragrant, and the roses are fragrant, filling thousands of villages with falling fragrance.

Others didn't think anything of it, just thinking that the little doll had copied it from a certain poetry collection. But when Lu Jingzhou saw these poems, he frowned slightly.

In his previous life, he was a Jinshi, and he had browsed some poetry collections by famous people, but he had never seen these poems.

Since it is not a widely circulated poem, how could a five-year-old child in Chang'an know about it?

But he couldn't ask questions, so he could only observe secretly.

"Second Young Master, aren't you referring to February next year? Should we go back to make preparations now?" Feng Shan came over and asked.

Lu Jingzhou was stunned. How could he forget this?

"I really have to go back." In fact, the registration time is at the end of the year, but if he has to contact the mutual agreement and confirmation in advance, he must return to his place of residence before the twelfth lunar month.

Qingzhou Prefecture is about a thousand miles away from here. Even if you hire an escort to travel, it will take more than twenty days, so you must go back before October.

Feng Shan: "Then when shall we set off? I'd better prepare myself and hire an escort team."

Lu Jingzhou counted the days and said, "The end of September."

"The end of September?" Feng Shan frowned: "Okay, I will go to the county town to find an escort team tomorrow."

The escort team is not available at all times. If someone is not available, or the escort has already left, won't it waste the second young master's time?

Since Lu Jingzhou wanted to return to his hometown for reference, Wu Zhonglou studied with him for nearly a year, read a lot of books, and learned a lot of poems, poems, strategies, treatises, and edicts. It seemed that he could give it a try.

It wasn't that Wu Zhonglou was asking for help, but that in the past six months, Lu Jingzhou had been giving him various test questions, saying that as long as he could do these questions well, there would be no problem in the county examination.

In the past month or two, Wu Zhonglou has done very well on the test questions. Even Lu Jingzhou said that as long as he consolidates a few more times, passing the county test will be a piece of cake.

As for the government examination and college examination, you still have to study for another year or two.

So Wu Zhonglou wanted to try the county examination. If he passed it, he would be a child student, and then he could enroll in a famous school in the county.

And those schools select students, and those with poor qualifications are not accepted.

On this day, as soon as Song Sanshun came back, he was pulled by Wu to discuss: "Chonglou also wants to take part in the county examination. Do you think it's feasible?"

"Okay, why not?" Song Sanshun had seen the calligraphy written by his brother-in-law. It was absolutely perfect, just like a copybook, straight and straight.

Hearing what her husband said, Mrs. Wu felt relieved.

"Aniang gave me all the money from selling the herbal medicine, and asked us to help him prepare things for the exam."

A test basket is a must-have for the exam, and everything that needs to be equipped in the test basket must not be missed. If anything is missed, it will affect Wu Zhonglou's exam, so it will be bad, so Mrs. Wu asked her daughter and son-in-law to help.

Song Sanshun thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the county town another day. The shops near the county school should have them available."

Before Wu could answer, Chang An leaned his head over and said, "Uncle, I also want to go to the county seat."

She has never been to the county town in her whole life.

Song Sanshun smiled and stroked her furry head: "Okay, I will take you there when the time comes."

My family is not short of money now, and my niece brought it all, so it’s time to take her into the city to buy some things.

After a while, the county magistrate invited him to come over for a talk, so he took his wife and went with Chang'an.

Chang'an was so happy that he jumped on the kang and said, "Okay! I'm going to the county seat! I have to buy a lot of paper and come back."

Well, buy more paints too, she wants to learn to paint.

The little goldfish also said that she has more and more merits and will get twice the result with half the effort in studying in the future.

And Xiao Miaomiao suddenly had three more leaves. Adding to the original ten, she already had thirteen leaves. (End of chapter)
