The next day.

At the entrance of Linjiazhuang Village.

The three members of the Li family, plus Lin Zixuan, took a carriage to Lin Zixuan's hometown.

Most of the people in this village are surnamed Lin, and every household is related to each other, and Lin Zixuan's family is at the outermost.

Lin Zixuan followed the route in his memory and rushed home.

Li Ci and his wife sat in the carriage, Li Hongwen drove the carriage, and Lin Zixuan sat on the other side pointing at the road.

"Who... I was wondering? It turns out that Zixuan is back!"

The one who spoke was one of his aunts, that is, the wife of his father's brother, but a cousin.

"Aunt, do you know where my father is?"

Lin Zixuan asked as he got off the carriage.

"I just saw your father working in the fields."

The aunt looked at the carriage in front of her, far away, as if she was looking at a rare animal, and did not dare to move forward.

Yes, for farmers in the countryside, carriages are rare. They are luxury goods that only city dwellers can afford and a symbol of status.

"Aunt, please help me call my father and tell him that my teacher is visiting my home."

Lin Zixuan replied with a smile.

"Okay, don't worry, leave it to your aunt."

The aunt patted her chest and said.

She was obviously shocked when she heard this. It turned out that it was Lin Zixuan's teacher, who was a juren. In terms of social status, influence, and reputation, he was completely different from the common people.

In the countryside, tongsheng and xiucai are both extraordinary figures, not to mention juren.

If the nearby landlords knew about it, they would probably come to Linjiazhuang to visit this Li Shanzhang.

The scene changed.

"Lin Shitou... Lin Shitou... your son's teacher is here, why don't you hurry home."

Auntie ran to Lin Zixuan's field and shouted loudly to the dark shadows working in the field.

"What?"

"What happened to my son?"

A deep man's voice sounded, asking anxiously.

"Ah? Your son is fine, but your son took his teacher to your house."

Auntie hurriedly explained.

"It's good that he's fine, it's good that he's fine."

"Then I'll go back quickly."

After saying that, Father Lin turned around and thought for a while, and pulled the eldest brother of the Lin family who was still working back, and walked home together.

After a while, the two returned home.

The Li couple sat in the seats in the living room, and Li Hongwen led the horse to find a place to feed hay.

Father Lin and the eldest brother of the Lin family looked at the precious carriage in front of the door and did not dare to touch it.

"Dad, I'm back."

"Brother..."

Lin Zixuan saw his father and brother coming in from outside, and immediately shouted to his father happily, and then called his brother again.

"Xuan'er, you're back. Um... why are you so dark?"

Father Lin looked at the dark-skinned boy in front of him, with a smile and satisfaction on his face, but still asked curiously.

"Dad, this son has been traveling outside for a year, sleeping in the open air, and it's good to stay at home for a while."

Lin Zixuan responded with cold sweat on his face.

He thought in his heart, how dark can it be? Why does everyone ask about it when they see it.

The Li couple sat in the seats in the living room.

Seeing Father Lin return home, Li Ci stood up and asked with a smile.

"Brother Lin, long time no see!"

"Well, well, thanks to the teacher's painstaking efforts to teach Xuan'er, he can achieve his current results."

Father Lin said embarrassedly. If it weren't for Li Ci's apprenticeship in the early years, Lin Zixuan's current study would probably be a problem, not to mention whether he could continue to take the imperial examination in the future.

Li Ci is the benefactor of his Lin family.

Father Lin can't read a single word, and he doesn't know where he heard this, but he said it quite well.

"Haha, it's mainly because Xuan'er is talented and knows how to study hard."

Li Ci replied with a smile.

"Brother, this time I have something important to discuss with you."

As the two talked, they sat down.

Li Ci gestured to Lin Zixuan to close the door.

Lin Zixuan smiled helplessly, turned around and closed the door.

"Brother Lin, this is it..."

Li Ci briefly explained the situation.

After a period of digestion, Father Lin finally understood.

It turns out that they were planning to conduct experiments on their land to see if these overseas seeds could produce so much grain locally, so as to cultivate new seeds.

Even if they offered such precious seeds to the court, they had to verify the specific yield.

"

"Okay, okay, no problem."

Father Lin and the eldest brother of the Lin family hurriedly patted their chests and replied excitedly.

If this crop can really have such a high yield, all the farmers in the world will live a good life and no longer have to endure hunger. This is a great thing that benefits the country and the people.

They feel very honored to be able to participate in such things. It is an exciting and energetic thing.

Moreover, his family's farmland does not need to pay taxes, and there is no such a heavy burden. After all, there is a scholar in the family, and there are certain qualifications for tax exemption for land.

"This matter must be kept secret before it is confirmed. It cannot be told to others. Only a few of us know it. If it is leaked out and discovered by enemy spies..."

Li Ci looked at Father Lin, Mother Lin and the eldest brother of the Lin family in front of him seriously.

After speaking, Father Lin, Mother Lin and the eldest brother of the Lin family showed an expression of wanting to say something but stopping.

"This matter cannot be hidden from my eldest daughter-in-law. After all, we have to live together every day. It is possible to hide it for one or two days, but it is unrealistic to hide it for so long. "

After a moment of silence, Lin's father and mother lowered their heads and thought for a while.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Lin family went home to visit her relatives. She hasn't come back in the past few days. She can't let others think that her family is hiding something from her when she returns home.

Besides, they are not professional actors. It's okay to target outsiders. After all, others can't follow you every day.

The family has been together for so long, and they are used to all kinds of living habits and trajectories. They can detect the abnormality of the slightest change.

From the perspective of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lin family, I went home to visit my relatives. When I returned home a few days later, why did I feel that everyone in the family was hiding something from me? Then I would suspect that something serious happened, such as a mistress?

This is not a good idea. A harmonious family is the best.

They don't want to make their family suspicious.

"Brother, of course you can't hide it from your eldest daughter-in-law. "

Li Ci said with shame.

After discussion, the planting was handed over to the Lin family.

Li Ci originally wanted to stay near the Lin family and participate in the planting in person, but after all, he was not a professional, so it was better not to cause trouble.

But after careful consideration on the way, he realized that this was unrealistic, but he still planned to come to the Lin family in person and give good advice to Lin's parents.

There was no place for him to live in the Lin family, but he could live in Lin Zixuan's house, but the conditions in the countryside were poor, and it was still a question whether he could adapt.

If a new residence was built, it would not cost much money, but it would be more likely to be suspicious if it was done in a big way.

Besides, the most important thing was that he had to teach at the academy, and he couldn't just leave so many students behind and walk away.
