Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

Elsewhere, the Sun family also had this idea, but Sun Yu knew more, so he didn't need his son to explain, and he sent the curious people away one by one. However, in private, he sighed to Minister Sun, "This year, we planted few peppers and tomatoes, and they are not enough for our own consumption, so we can't take them out to do business. But next year, according to Huaiyi's plan, they will definitely be sold to the outside world. By then, it's no problem for them to become a big hit..."

Minister Sun understood, "Are you worried that Huaiyi will become popular again and attract jealousy?"

Sun Yu nodded in confusion. "He has been in the limelight too much. It is not appropriate to add more chips to his reputation. But we can't suppress him and take it away either. That would be unfair to him. Alas..."

He smiled bitterly and sighed, "If the apprentice is incompetent, it will be a headache for the master. Who would have thought that if the apprentice is too good, it will also make the master worried?"

Minister Sun mercilessly squeezed him, "Isn't it because you, as a master, can't protect him?"

Sun Yu was speechless, looking ashamed.

Minister Sun glanced at him coldly, "You are also stupid. You just attribute the credit of peppers and tomatoes to the Gu family. Even if the woman is a little more famous, it's not a big deal. They are husband and wife, and the benefits should not be lost to outsiders. Huaiyi will not suffer any loss. Moreover, in all likelihood, it was the credit of the Gu family. Where did Huaiyi get the rare seeds? Didn't his wife find them?"

Sun Yu reacted, his eyes lit up, and he breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, how could I forget this, it's the credit of the Gu family..."

Minister Sun snorted and laughed, "Whenever you have something good to offer, you always side with your disciple. Who can you blame?"

Sun Yu touched his nose with a dry laugh. He was used to it. It was because his apprentice was so capable.

The praised Xu Huaiyi is currently enjoying the cool air and admiring the moon in the yard, holding his daughter in his arms, helping her peel pomegranates while telling her mythological stories. The content of the stories is closely related to the Mid-Autumn Festival theme of tonight.

Not only Ah Li liked it, but others also listened with great interest.

These stories are easy to understand and can be savored carefully. They are full of charm and contain thought-provoking truths.

Even Jiang Yong listened attentively, let alone the children. They were all fascinated and begged him to tell one story after another, wishing they could drain all the ink in his stomach.

Xu Huaiyi was also happy to indulge them in this regard. When he was tired, he would drink some tea to moisten his throat before continuing. The content became more and more exciting and fascinating, and the listeners became more energetic and didn't even notice that they were sleepy.

Just to make Gu Huanxi more awake, around 11:00 p.m., he began to urge him to go to rest.

However, everyone was still not satisfied, so they begged Gu Huanxi to listen to the last song, and then the show ended.

Seeing the malicious smile on Xu Huaiyi's face, Gu Huanxi reluctantly reminded him, "Are you sure you want to hear one more?"

Gu Xiaoyu and Jiang Yi nodded at the same time. They were the ones who were most addicted to listening to it.

"Okay, don't regret it."

The two were puzzled. What was there to regret after listening to a story?

Jiang Yong and Doctor Jiao looked at each other and vaguely guessed something, but they didn't expect that the next story would be like this...

Xu Huaiyi told a ghost story with great emotion, just like watching Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. Coupled with the horror effect he deliberately created, one can imagine how terrifying it was. Everyone's face changed as they listened to it.

Although it is said that scholars do not talk about strange and supernatural things, the scene described by Xu Huaiyi was too vivid. Even though I comforted myself that it was a made-up story and there was no need to be afraid, I was still frightened.

Gu Xiaoyu couldn't help but sit next to her mother, and when she heard Gao Chaochu, she nervously grabbed her arm.

Gu Huanxi couldn't help but laugh. She turned around, held him in her arms, took out a handkerchief, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Seeing this, Jiang Yi stopped trying and moved a stool to sit next to his grandfather, leaning against his legs to seek a sense of security.

Jiang Yong patted his shoulder to comfort him.

In fact, he sounded quite nervous.

As for the maids and servants around, they were all trembling with fear and dared not listen. They seemed to be hooked in their hearts and could not move their legs. Even the brave guards felt chills on their backs after listening.

After Xu Huaiyi finished speaking, everyone breathed a sigh of relief but also felt lost. However, they soon discovered that there were sequelae.

The timid ones were afraid to even go to the toilet and had to go out in groups. This was even more true when sleeping. They dared not stay in the house alone and had to have a companion and light a light.

Seeing this, Gu Huanxi glared at Xu Huaiyi unhappily and said, "Look at what you have done."

Xu Huaiyi laughed mischievously, "This is exciting. It will give everyone an unforgettable Mid-Autumn Festival night."

Gu Huanxi was speechless. Fortunately, his daughter had fallen asleep a long time ago and didn't hear the last ghost story, otherwise she would have had a nightmare.

Looking down, she saw Gu Xiaoyu holding onto her clothes, unwilling to let go, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Do you regret it?"

Gu Xiaoyu forced a stiff smile, "I don't regret it. The last story Dad told me was very exciting."

Gu Huanxi teased him, "Then why don't you go back to your bedroom and sleep alone?"

Gu Xiaoyu remained silent.

Gu Huanxi took his hand and said, "Okay, our family will sleep on the same kang tonight."

Hearing this, Gu Xiaoyu nodded hurriedly.

Xu Huaiyi was unhappy and reminded her quietly, "Wife, he is already six years old..."

Gu Huanxi glared at him, "Who do you blame?"

Xu Huaiyi immediately felt regretful.

Seeing this, Jiang Yi no longer cared about the embarrassment and stayed in his grandfather's bed at night. Before going to sleep, he couldn't help but mutter, "Uncle Xu is really amazing. He knows so many stories..."

Jiang Yong said, "I heard most of it from the people. Your uncle Xu's father-in-law traveled a lot and has seen a lot of local customs and practices. If you don't understand something in the future, you can ask more. Although your uncle Xu doesn't like to read, he has a lot of knowledge, which will be of great benefit to you."

Jiang Yi agreed, "We all like talking to Uncle Xu. Not only do we learn a lot, but it's also very interesting..."

Jiang Yong smiled and said, "This is the charm of your uncle Xu's personality. You should learn from him."

"Yes, Grandfather..."

"Go to sleep."

"Okay, Grandpa, can you please not turn off the lights?"

"……Um."

The grandparents and grandchildren lit the lamp and slept all night.

The next day, as the sky brightened, the fear of last night dissipated, and everyone couldn't help but recall the horror of listening to the story. The servants didn't dare to ask, but Gu Xiaoyu and Jiang Yi had no worries and pestered Xu Huaiyi to beg.

Xu Huaiyi teased the two of them, saying that they were both inexperienced and playful.

Both of them blushed and were determined not to admit that they were scared last night. It was just the first time they heard a story of this kind and they were not mentally prepared.

Xu Huaiyi agreed with a smile.

Today, they did not go to the fields to harvest crops. With the help of the tenant farmers and servants on the farm, they worked quite efficiently. They brought their children here to experience life and feel the difficulties of the lower-class people, but they did not come here to be reformed. It would be too tiring and no one could last for a few days.

Xu Huaiyi took the children to hunt in the mountains, and Gu Huanxi picked out all the peppers and tomatoes in the backyard. The tomatoes could not be kept, so they could only take the seeds, put them in a clean jar, steam them thoroughly, and seal the lid tightly. In this way, they can be preserved for a year or so.

As for the chili peppers, it is easy to prepare. They can be dried and eaten later. Gu Huanxi carefully collected the seeds. She planned to cultivate some more seedlings in the RV. While the weather is not too cold, she might be able to plant another crop.

After lunch, everyone left Hutian Village. When they left, they took a few bags of soybeans and millet. Xu Huaiyi made an appointment with Village Chief Xu to bring new wheat seeds when he came back next time.

After returning to the house in the city, Su Zhe came again and the two went to the study to discuss things.

Gu Huanxi coaxed her daughter to sleep, and went into the RV to cultivate vegetable seedlings. She planted a lot of peppers and tomatoes. In order to speed up the growth, she also sprinkled some fertilizer diluted with her daughter's tears. After finishing her work, she found a book, picked out a few prescriptions for eye care and skin care, copied them down, and asked Wei Ci to take them to Doctor Jiao for a look. The prescriptions involved a lot of traditional Chinese medicine, and she was worried that they would conflict with each other and have side effects.

Fortunately, after examining the patient, Dr. Jiao gave a positive answer.

With this, Gu Huanxi felt relieved. He had people buy all the medicinal herbs needed, ground them into fine powder, and mixed them with honey and milk to make a paste. He called several maids who served him closely and taught them how to use it.

This is a quick thing to learn, and the maids quickly got the hang of it and did it quite well.

In addition to applying facial masks, Gu Huanxi also taught them some other beauty massage techniques, and the maids were very enthusiastic in learning.

When Xu Huaiyi came over, Gu Huanxi was lying in a rocking chair with his eyes closed, enjoying himself. It was so comfortable that he couldn't help feeling sleepy.

When the maids saw him, they hurriedly stood up and greeted him.

Xu Huaiyi waved his hand, signaling them to leave. He walked over and naturally took the maid's place, helping his wife press down on her head with very skilled movements.

Gu Huanxi noticed the difference in strength and opened his eyes dazedly, "Huh? Why are you here? Where's Su Zhe?"

Xu Huaiyi said, "Let's go after we finish talking..."

"Why didn't you invite him to dinner?"

"Yes, he is very busy and can't take care of it."

Gu Huanxi asked worriedly, "He came here in such a hurry, did something weird happen again?"

Xu Huaiyi smiled and said, "It's not a bad thing. He came to discuss with me the opening of the amusement park the day after tomorrow. Su Rui invited a lot of people to help out, and he also learned the idea I gave Su Zhe before, to hold a game competition at the entrance of the amusement park to promote it. Don't mention it, he really succeeded. It was quite lively, and most people in Beijing went..."

"Su Zhe won't just sit there and wait for death, right?"

"Of course, but this time he kept his composure and didn't rush to make a move. He just let Su Rui do it. The bigger the mess, the uglier the scene will be. No one will show support. Let's see how he will step down."

"You can't just do nothing, right?"

"Of course not. I have asked the workshop to print a large number of small flyers. Su Zhe has called a large group of beggars and idlers to hand out flyers to everyone he sees tomorrow, including teahouses, restaurants, and crowded places. We will try to cover the entire city. By then, when the slogan of free flyers is announced, who will go to Su Rui's place?"

This move was really damaging and did not conform to the rules of commercial competition. After all, there would be no winner in a price war, but who told Su Rui to break the rules first? It was nothing to eat the meat in someone else's bowl, but to take away the bowl as well was too much.

Gu Huanxi asked curiously, "So, Su Zhe, have you dealt with the people in the Chamber of Commerce?"

Xu Huaiyi nodded. "Su Zhe is quite capable. His emotional intelligence and eloquence are both very good. His only shortcoming is that he is born out of wedlock. He is not liked by his father and family. He is also bound by filial piety and etiquette, so he cannot move freely. Otherwise, why would he be so frustrated? If he could risk his life, the entire Su family would not be enough for him to deal with alone."

"With the support of the Chamber of Commerce, he is even more powerful and can at least fight against the curse that the Su family has put on him."

"Well, he also went to the Zhao family to make an appearance. In ten days or so, he will be the son-in-law of the Zhao family. The Zhao family also saw the value in him and expressed their support for him very happily this time."

"Oh, that's great."

The stronger the partners are, the longer the relationship between them can last. Helping each other is much more solid than unilateral efforts.

Xu Huaiyi said with a wicked smile, "Just wait and see the excitement that day."

Before it even opened the day after tomorrow, the whole capital city became bustling with activity the next day. Previously, Su Rui had set up a large display in front of his own amusement park and organized various game competitions with great fanfare to attract popularity, and the effect was indeed good. People's curiosity about the amusement park was piqued, and they couldn't wait to rush in to take a look.

As for the tickets, half a tael of silver is nothing to the powerful.

Only ordinary people would feel a little pain when hearing the price, but they could not resist the children's pleas. Thinking about playing occasionally, they gritted their teeth. It is not that they can't save the money. They can't just watch while other children go. How can parents who love their children bear this grievance?

However, who would have thought that just when they made up their minds to splurge, news suddenly came out that there was a free amusement park where they could play freely. Who wouldn't be tempted?

At first I didn't believe it, so I grabbed the beggar handing out flyers and asked, "Is it really free?"

"Yes, definitely!"

"Not even a penny? Are they trying to trick us in and then rip us off? Merchants love to play tricks like this..."

"It's really not a scam, and I won't rip you off. The owner said that the children can go in and play as they please, and it doesn't cost a penny!"

"My goodness, what does the boss want?"

"Do good deeds and accumulate virtue..."

"Why don't I believe it? Businessmen pursue profits, so how can they not make money?"

"Hey, ladies and uncles, whether it's true or not, we'll know tomorrow when we go in and take a look. The owner of our amusement park is the seventh young master of the Su family. He has opened many shops in the capital, and which one of them is not run with integrity? What else can you not trust?"

After hearing this, everyone finally felt the reality, and became excited and happy, praising, "It's good to be free, it saves money for us ordinary people, the Seventh Young Master is righteous!"

No matter whether the words of thanks are sincere or not, they are just thrown out for free. Everyone is ready to take their children to take advantage of the opening tomorrow.

There were also those who were puzzled, "The eldest young master of the Su family also opened an amusement park, but the fees are charged, and they are all owned by the Su family, so why are they different?"

No one can answer this question.

Those who are quick-witted and familiar with the Su family's background all know that this is clearly an internal fight between the Su brothers.

The Su family has many descendants, so reasonable competition is allowed. It's just that it has never been made public before. This is the first time that they are almost at odds with each other, and it immediately gave Beijing a lot of gossip.

The Su family was once again at the center of public opinion, attracting many people who were watching from behind and making fun of the family.
