The couple gathered in the bedroom to discuss the matter for half the afternoon.

Finally decided to grow wheat.

First of all, wheat is a crop originally grown in the north. Although it is abrupt to plant it now, it is not so unacceptable. If high-yield rice appears, that would be shocking news.

In response to Gu Jingyan's suggestion, two or three acres of land were left out to plant some good things.

Use space seeds.

When it is ripe, store it in the cellar and take it out whenever you want to eat it.

There is more than one cellar in the house of Leshan Zhuangzi.

When he went to Beiding to take up his post soon, she forbade him to use any seeds that matured in two days for planting, as they could easily attract attention.

When Gu Jingyan saw those fish today, which were so fat and even fatter than yesterday, he felt his scalp tighten.

Ouyang Siyuan was also extremely frightened and almost ran away from the woods because of the lively scene in the puddle.

Although he fished very quickly later, he was also the one who had the most fun.

"I feel so sorry for the old man. When he was in the palace, he studied farming a lot. When he was in the mood, he even went to his own royal farm to watch people farming.

If he doesn't take a look at the farm work we do, he'll be jealous!"

Gu Jingyan knew what he said was true, and because of this, Li Changle's current situation was not the worst. As long as it was handled properly.

There is also that big puddle. After catching the fish, pour the shrimp fry into it. Don’t waste such a big puddle.

She asked Gu Jingyan to go out and bring in a large wooden barrel and closed the door. She opened the system and directly purchased 10 kinds of shrimp seedlings, regardless of whether they were sea shrimp or river shrimp, as long as they were shrimp.

Gu Jingyan went out with the wooden barrel, and Li Changle buried himself in the quilt and fell into a deep sleep again.

In the evening, Gu Jingyan and his group of four came back smelling like fish.

Wang Dahu and his companions were also covered in dust when they entered the room.

Sowing and harvesting are no longer the same thing. Sowing is done with the help of machines, and the speed is much faster.

Digging sweet potatoes requires digging with a hoe, which is time-consuming and laborious.

Everyone cleaned up and started eating, no one said anything extra.

I get work to do, food to eat, and wages, what else do you want?

Li Changle and his two children in the inner courtyard were waiting for someone to come back for dinner.

……

After changing his clothes, Gu Jingyan found Wang Dahu and told him about bringing some people to harvest sweet potatoes tomorrow, then returned to the inner courtyard to have dinner with the three people in the room.

Yu'er and his friend went to Liu's house to play this afternoon. Under the guidance of Jiang's granddaughter Zhu'er, Yu'er obediently learned how to make silk lace for most of the afternoon.

I studied very hard, but I still haven’t mastered it.

When the two were sent back from Liu's house, Jiang said that Zhu'er hadn't even learned how to make a lace herself, yet she dared to teach the young master.

Li Changle interrupted her complaints with a smile, saying that her granddaughter had a good personality and had been teaching for so long, but the fish still hadn't learned it. She had been teaching patiently all along.

Yan Ming said that they would continue studying tomorrow, and Jiang hurriedly said that she would let her mother-in-law teach the two of them tomorrow.

It turned out that Jiang's mother-in-law was an embroiderer when she was young and had good skills. But now that she is old, her eyesight has deteriorated and her hands are not very flexible, so she no longer makes embroidery.

Zhu'er is only 5 years old and she has learned a lot from her grandmother.

Li Changle was happy to hear this, but was afraid of disturbing the old man's peace.

"My grandmother likes to take care of Zhu'er on weekdays. The two little masters are both good-tempered and don't make any noise. My grandmother praised her for being more patient than when Zhu'er first learned."

Li Changle asked her to take two apples and a bunch of grapes back to the elderly and children.

Yu'er had no other playmates except Li Shixi. The people living in Lushui Village were not close to the Li family's courtyard. Perhaps because the courtyard had been visited by a pack of wolves, there were no two children willing to go there for a stroll.

So every time they went to Wang's house, the two children and Xiao Shitou had a lot of fun.

Although Pearl was a servant's child, she was quiet and well-behaved.

Li Changle couldn't help but think of the Gu family's background.

Yu'er is now a real little girl from a wealthy family, the first child of Gu Jingyan. She has a special status, both in Gu Jingyan's eyes and for the entire Gu family.

She hadn't thought about it at first, but it suddenly came to her mind while she was eating.

At night, she hugged a big quilt and talked about this with Gu Jingyan who was writing and drawing on the bed.

"I think Liu's granddaughter Zhu'er is a well-behaved girl, and she's of the right age. Do you want to talk to Aunt Jiang and ask her to raise her for another two or three years, and then come over to Yu'er... well, to be her schoolmate?"

This isn't something that feels awkward, but I'm not used to it either.

A little brat has a maid to order him around. Isn't he too spoiled?

Although she is half useless in modern times, her mother has always ordered her around since she was a child, under the pretext that she is afraid that she will grow into a big borer.

Although I haven't really tried very hard.

"Well, both the Liu family and the Wang family are available. You can decide. When you are done with this period of work, sign the long-term employment contracts for the Wang family and Hu Chunshan. If there is any work in the future, let them do it or assign it."

Seeing him writing something with his head down, Li Changle couldn't help but slip off the bed and climb onto the bed, looking at the man writing furiously, "What are you writing? Can I read it?"

"Yes, take a look." Gu Jingyan handed her a few envelopes.

The children were all asleep, and Li Changle had nothing to do, so he crossed his legs and opened the letter to read.

The first one was a reply letter written by Ji, the mistress of the Gu family.

The second one was a letter from Gu Jingyan’s maternal grandfather Sun Li.

She was dazzled by the uniformly traditional Chinese characters. She guessed and finally finished reading both letters.

She held up Sun Li's letter, which was obviously a reply letter, and pointed to a place and asked Gu Jingyan, "You are the one who proposed to marry this Xiuduan cousin to your third son?"

Gu Jingyan said "hmm", "It's just a suggestion. Whether it's allowed or not depends on the wishes of my grandparents."

"Your grandfather has approved of it. Hey, I remember that the second and third sons in your family almost married me."

There are many people in the Gu family who are sarcastic about this matter, such as the gossipy Second Young Master's wife, Mrs. Wu.

Gu Lao Er hurriedly married the current Wu in order to avoid his engagement with Li Changle.

When Gu Jingyan heard this, the pen in his hand paused, and the words he wrote immediately turned into a ball of ink.

"..." He looked up at the woman sitting across from the table on the kang, "You belong to me now, why are you talking about those two things?"

"It is said that your third child will have good fortune. The eldest granddaughter of the Taifu family is much more prestigious than the daughter of a poor scholar like me." Li Changle joked, "Isn't this what you get?"

Gu Jingyan glared at her with a cold face, "Compared to those two things, how do you think I am?"

Li Changle saw that the situation was not good, and immediately became timid, "Of course they can't compare with you, haha. You have everything you want, beauty, wisdom and wealth in one person."

Gu Jingyan's expression lightened up a bit, "Don't mention those two again!"

Li Changle nodded wildly, "Then mention Madam Gu!"

She pointed at the envelope beside her and said, "This guy is even lazier than me. He has outsourced his son's lifelong affairs to you."

Li Changle sighed and let out a long breath, "You are really busy all day long."

Gu Jingyan: "..."

Who is he doing all this for?

Isn't it all to prevent her from worrying about the Gu family's affairs?

Otherwise, why would he care who that guy marries?

We cannot lose the family heritage that the Gu family has built up over the years, nor can we tire our young wife.

Isn't it just a matter of assigning another capable manager to take over?
