Farmer Fubo is open for business

"Who is Yuyu?" Song Baqi was puzzled.

Song Sanshun quickly answered: "It's just kid's nonsense, don't take it seriously."

Goudan raised his hand and said, "Yuyu is the master Chang'an dreamed about."

Song Baqi laughed, thinking it was a child's imagination and didn't take it seriously.

When the bullock cart rushed back to Songjiacun, it was still bright.

When passing by the new house, I saw a young man in a plain robe standing at the door, looking towards Chang'an.

"Uncle Song, are you back?" He greeted Song Sanshun with a smile, and nodded to Song Baqi, Song Laoliu and Song You.

Song Sanshun nodded: "I'm back."

During the exchange of greetings, the bullock cart slowly drove away.

Lu Jingzhou watched them go away, then returned to the room after a while and picked up a book.

His wet nurse Fang Shi and her husband Feng Shan looked at each other, returned to the kitchen, and whispered while preparing the dishes: "What do you think is wrong with Erlang? He has to come all the way to this remote place? And he lied to the master that he was related to Your husband is going on a study tour, is this a study tour?"

Originally, the second son planned to buy a small house in the county to live temporarily, but when he saw a property for sale in Taiping Township, he changed his mind and decided to buy the house.

Well now, after the second young master came here, not only did he not study much, he also started practicing martial arts.

In the remaining time, he taught a peasant boy and vowed to train him to become a scholar. Alas, he himself was not a scholar yet.

Feng Shan thought for a while and sighed: "I guess Erlang came here to avoid the eldest son's limelight."

Although the second young master is a commoner, he has been smart since he was a child. Even his wife praised him as a rare genius with a photographic memory.

The master often used him to motivate the eldest son, but he was dissatisfied by the eldest lady.

Last spring, the 10-year-old second son and the 14-year-old eldest son applied for the county exam together. However, before the exam, they suddenly ate something bad, vomited and had diarrhea, and fell seriously ill, so they missed the exam.

After recovering from his illness, the second young master became silent a lot. He even asked his master to take a long leave and wandered around with his household registration card.

Feng Shan knew that his young master was not just hanging around, but started doing business with his private money.

Within a few months, Lu Jingzhou increased his cash holdings from fifty taels to hundreds of taels by selling calligraphy and paintings.

After that, he went all the way to Lingqiu County, Anyang Prefecture, and decided to stay in Lingqiu temporarily.

Feng Shan thought he had a whim and went back after a while, but it turned out that the second young master returned to Qingzhou Mansion after the New Year and came back again, intending to live here permanently.

Aunt Fang thought for a while, then remembered the behavior of the eldest lady in the mansion, and sighed softly: "Oh, it's no wonder that the second young master doesn't want to stay in the mansion. He is too provocative to avoid being noticed by others. It's just that he is still so young, so he can't come out. It’s easy to go back but difficult.”

Other concubines would rather live in the same mansion for the rest of their lives without being separated. It would be better for the second son of her family to run away on his own and live in the countryside where there is no shit.

Feng Shan was full of confidence in the second young master: "Our second young master is not a creature in the pond. It doesn't matter if he comes out, he can quietly take the merit examination tomorrow and go back. By then, the eldest lady will not dare to touch him."

Aunt Fang agreed with this: "Indeed, I haven't seen him sick these days. I see that the second young master is much fatter than when he was in the house. He has also grown taller. When I have time, I will have to make another pair of clothes for him." .”

When he was in the mansion, the second young master had stomach upsets every three days, and his stomach was extremely weak at a young age.

Since he left the house, he has not had any problems. Even if he eats some food that is difficult to digest, there is no abnormality.

Aunt Fang felt like she had a mirror in her heart, but she couldn't say anything, so she could only serve her with extra caution.

The couple was silent for a moment. Grandma Fang suddenly remembered the matter of digging a well and asked her husband, "Didn't the second young master want to dig a well? Why didn't he do it again?"

Feng Shan: "Second Young Master said that the well water at Song Sanshun's house is good. You can just go to his house to pick up water. There is also a large pond not far from our door. It is very convenient for washing and washing. There is no need to dig a well at home to avoid having to worry about rain in summer." There are a lot of mosquitoes here.”

Aunt Fang stretched out her head to look at the yard, "Second Young Master is right. This yard is not big. If we dig a well, it will be inconvenient to walk."

The two chatted for a while, washed pots and cooked rice.

In the main room, Lu Jingzhou was leaning against the window, holding a book but not looking in.

He kept thinking about the past life in his mind.

In the autumn of the second year of Tianhe, there was a severe drought in Anyang Prefecture, and a wave of refugees broke out. They all flocked to surrounding prefectures, causing local people to clash with them, resulting in many deaths and injuries.

He remembered that that year, his father was impeached by the official, reprimanded by the emperor, and almost lost his official position.

But in this life, when I came to Anyang Mansion and lived in Lingqiu County, which was the worst affected area, I didn't find many people fleeing their fields.

There may be a few, but definitely not many. It's not like in the previous life, when the farmers in the entire township fled with their families.

What pleased him was that there was abundant groundwater here and people were actively rescuing themselves. Although they were not freed from the predicament, they were able to survive.

It seems that he accepted the suggestions he secretly sent to the magistrate of Lingqiu County last year, and also put into action the matter of calling on the people in the county to dig wells.

However, he never had the chance to make up for the debt he owed to Chang'an in his previous life.

The child didn't accept his overtures at all and didn't talk to him much.

He has been living here for several months and has been guiding Wu Zhonglou in his studies, but Chang An still looks at him with unfamiliar eyes.

"Second Young Master, the evening meal is ready." Nanny Fang called at the door of the kitchen.

She has lived in the countryside for a long time and has developed a loud voice. Now she stands directly at the door and shouts.

Lu Jingzhou responded, put away his books and went to eat.

Grandma Fang made a plate of scrambled eggs with leeks, a plate of sweet and sour shredded radish, and a plate of fried celery.

I cooked a jar of thick rice porridge and baked dough cakes.

The three of them did not pay attention to the fact that the master and servants were sitting at different tables. They sat around the small square table to eat together.

Of course, Lu Jingzhou used his chopsticks first to pick up the vegetables, and then Aunt Fang and his wife followed suit.

The next day.

As soon as Chang An finished his morning meal, he took his aunt out to cut the grass.

She learned several kinds of straw knitting from Little Goldfish last night and was about to knit a few to try.

Bai Huahua and Da Hei followed their little master out and had fun in the wild. Huahua also followed Chang An with steady steps.

"What kind of grass do you want to cut?" Wu asked.

Chang'an turned his little head and looked around: "Any grass will do, as long as it grows long."

Even the foxtail grass is the same. If you soak its leaves and long stems in hot water, they will become very resilient.

Wu had already counted, cut a bunch of cattail grass, horse trip grass, and dogtail grass, and bundled them into a pile to carry home.

Within Songjia Village, after being nourished by the heavy rain, the vegetation has grown rapidly, and even the hollowed out reed swamps have sprouted many new seedlings.

After more than ten days of growth, the reed seedlings are already half as tall as a person. I believe that in a while, they will be able to pick reed leaves to make rice dumplings.

Not to mention those weeds, they all grew like crazy, as if they had been fattened by someone. They were green, fat and tender, and her geese loved to eat them.

When Chang'an returned home, he and his aunt picked up the straw that could be knitted and hung it to dry. The straw that couldn't be knitted was given to the geese in the backyard to eat.

Now a female goose has begun to lay eggs, but she only gives birth to one in a few days.

Chang'an didn't plan to eat goose eggs. She wanted the big geese to hatch a group of goslings, and then put them outside the yard to graze. When the goslings grow up, they will have goose meat to eat.

"Ouch! His third aunt, go and have a look! The old godly woman and her family are back again!"

Sister-in-law Qian ran over, picked up Mrs. Wu, and walked out, smiling and saying, "You didn't see it, that family is like a ghost! They are begging your father-in-law to take him in."
