Farming in another world to make a fortune

Qisu only came over once a month, and at night, Jin Chuan accidentally chatted with him a bit late, and Yu Zhou was also by his side.

The result was getting up late the next day.

Yu Zhou squinted at the light at the window, then shrank back into the bed, turned around and put his hands on Jin Chuan's slightly swollen belly, thinking that Zheng Xiu and Lin Yue were doing the housework anyway. Chen didn't...

Thinking of Chenchen, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and he turned his head slowly, and saw that the curtain at the foot of the bed was really shaking slightly, which was not very obvious.

Yu Zhou withdrew his hand on Jin Chuan's abdomen, turned over gently, but before he finished turning over, his eyes met with a pair of watery and expectant eyes behind the curtain at the foot of the bed.

He sighed in his heart, got up and opened the bed curtain a bit, and asked Chenchen who was sitting on the stool at the foot of the bed, "Why didn't you call me and your daddy when you woke up?"

Chenchen raised a finger and put it to her lips for a 'hush' sound, then lowered her voice and said, "It will disturb my brother to sleep!"

Yu Zhou laughed, looked back at Jin Chuan who was still asleep, then tiptoedly turned over and got out of bed, and dressed himself and Chen Chen.

During this period, neither father nor son made a sound, and it was not until they left the bedroom door that Chenchen let out a decent breath.

Yu Zhou looked up at the sun which didn't rise much higher than usual, then pinched Chenchen's nose and asked with a smile, "Why did you get up so early today?"

Chenchen took it for granted, "Because I'm going to town today!"

"Didn't I take you there just two days ago?"

"It's different!" Chenchen said, "When I went a few days ago, it was just you and me, without dad."

Yu Zhou: ...

Well, it's hard for him to say anything about Chenchen, after all, he himself may not have been to town with Jinchuan for a long time, and he is looking forward to today.

After breakfast, Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan packed up some things they planned to bring to Zhou Ning before setting off for the town with Qisu.

Qisu didn't like to join in the fun, and felt that what he wanted to say had already been said last night, and when he returned home today, he took his attendants to ride in his own carriage instead of riding with Yu Zhou and the others.

Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan knew his temperament, so they didn't say much. They just looked at Chenchen eagerly for a while, but they were soon distracted by other things.

The original thick cotton curtains on the carriage have been replaced with bamboo curtains a few days ago, which can not only shade the sun, but also provide ventilation. When you lift up a corner of the curtain, you can still see the green mountains and forests in the distance.

Jin Chuan was very interested, he was looking outside discussing with Yu Zhou what he was going to buy when he came back, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Chenchen had already fallen asleep in Yu Zhou's arms.

He paused, touched Chenchen's forehead in surprise, "What happened to Chenchen today?"

"I was thinking of going to Zhenshan with you, but I got up too early in the morning." Yu Zhou changed Chenchen's posture to a more comfortable position, and then told Chenchen that when he woke up in the morning, he saw Chenchen sitting at the foot of the bed waiting for them. up.

This time Jin Chuan was silent for a long time, at first he felt a little embarrassed that the children were sitting there waiting, but they hadn't woken up yet.But the thought was fleeting, and was quickly replaced by inner softness and joy.

He leaned over to take a thin quilt, and shook it out to cover Chen Chen, who was sleeping soundly next to him.After talking to Yu Zhou again, both of them lowered their voices.

Waiting for the carriage to stop in front of He's house, Chenchen woke up rubbing her eyes, looked around in confusion for a moment, saw that her father was not in the carriage, got up and lay on Jin Chuan's lap and asked, "Daddy, where is father?"

"Going down to carry things," Jin Chuan took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of Chen Chen's eyes, then lowered his head and asked, "Are you going to wait for your father to carry you down, or go down by yourself?"

"I'll go down by myself." Chen Chen hurriedly stood up, saw the small quilt slipped from her body, picked it up, folded it twice, and stuffed it back to its original position.

Jin Chuan waited for him to finish, then stretched out his hand to lead him to get off the carriage together.

Chenchen had been to He's house many times, and after getting off the carriage, she didn't need anyone to take her with her. She knew the way and took Jin Chuan to the courtyard where He Yunqi and Zhou Ning lived.

Seeing Zhou Ning waiting in the middle of the courtyard, he raised his head and said, "Uncle Ning, we came to see you, do you miss me?"

"I think," Zhou Ning smiled, brows and eyes crooked, "Everyone misses you."

Hearing what he said, Chenchen greeted Zhou Ning a few more times before going to eat the snack Zhou Ning prepared for him.

Jin Chuan and Zhou Ning hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they both had a lot to say, from He Yunqi and the others going to the capital, to the preparations for the unborn child, it was noon before they knew it.

After lunch, the two pregnant women took Chenchen to rest, leaving Yu Zhou alone, and He Yunqi was not at home, so he simply took Lin Yue to buy things for the Dragon Boat Festival.

The list was made in the carriage before, and Yu Zhou shopped very fast, and it took at most an hour to go back and forth.

It was agreed that he would go back in the afternoon, and when he was about to arrive at He's house, he told Lin Yue, "Just park the carriage at the door later, and I will pick up Chenchen and his father when they get out."

In this way, you don't have to take the trouble to take the carriage to the backyard, and then take it out again immediately, Lin Yue naturally has no objection.

It was only when the carriage entered the alley that it was blocked, and he had to rein in the horse, "Master, the door of the He family is blocked by a carriage."

Yu Zhou raised the curtain and saw that not only were there two more carriages in front of him, but there were even more people coming in and out at the gate of the He family.He thought of something, and said: "You wait here first, I'll go and see what's going on."

When he got closer, he found that except for the people from the He family, most of the people at the door were wearing the clothes of the servants of the Zhou family, but no matter which side they were from, their faces were full of undisguised joy.

Yu Zhou was more sure of the thoughts in his heart, and casually grabbed a person in charge and asked, "Is this a happy event?"

The person in charge probably just knew him, and after saluting, he said, "Go back to Young Master Yu, there is news from the capital that my young master has won a tribute."

Yu Zhou nodded and said congratulations, then hurried to the courtyard where He Yunqi lived.

The more you walked into the yard, the more people you met, the more lively the atmosphere was, and there were several elders of the He family sitting in the main hall.

Yu Zhou expressed his joy, and after a while, he brought up the matter of going back.

Hearing this, Mrs. He said: "Jinchuan is rare to come here, why not leave after a night's rest, so that I can spend more time with A-Ning."

"When Yunqi and A-Jiang come back, let's come and celebrate together." Yu Zhou refused with a smile.In fact, since they met each other, they have stayed at He's house many times. Even when he went to take the government examination, because Chenchen was too young to travel back and forth, Jin Chuan took Chenchen to live with Zhou Ning in He's house. some time.

It's just that He Yunqi is not at home now. Although Jinchuan and Chenchen are both there, it is not appropriate for him, a foreigner, to stay in the courtyard where He Yunqi and Zhou Ning live at night.It would be too troublesome to arrange to live elsewhere.

So it's better to go back, it's not too far anyway.

Mrs. He also knew this, and there were a lot of people coming to Zhou's house today, and they needed to be entertained, so she didn't keep Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan any more, and only asked He Yunqi's mother to go to the storeroom to pick out some things for Jin Chuan and Chen Chen. .

Yu Zhou waited until he got into his family's carriage, and then asked: "The news that Yun Qi and A-Jiang won the tribute, didn't it come from the government?"

Jin Chuan has been with Zhou Ning all the time and knows the whole story, "It's the news from Zhou's family. It is said that Aning's elder brother happens to be in the capital too. As soon as the admission list for the examination comes out, his elder brother will tell the staff at home Sailing the boat overnight to bring back the news."

Yu Zhou kept lighting the window lattice, thinking that this kind of arranging for someone to deliver a message in front of the government overnight was just to make Zhou Ning happy for a while, and it was indeed the work of Zhou Ning's brothers.

It just came along with the test results of friends Tao Jiang, Yu Wenliang and Li Haolin.

Jin Chuan saw that he was pensive with downcast eyes, and he didn't speak for a long time, so he asked, "Is your husband thinking of telling Mr. Wen something gentle?"

"Yes." Yu Zhou said with a sigh. If Yu Wenliang won the prize, it would be a happy event, so there would be nothing to worry about, but among the four people who went in their party, only Yu Wenliang did not win the prize. I don't know how to speak to Mr. Wen.

Jin Chuan said with a smile: "If you don't know how to say it, then don't take the initiative to mention it. Anyway, the official news should arrive in a few days, and Mr. Wen will naturally know about it."

Yu Zhou pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "Then let's not talk about it." In fact, in his opinion, even if Yu Wenliang failed this time, it is not a big deal. Anyway, he is still so young, so waiting another three years will not be a big deal. Not yet crowned.And once you have experienced it, you will be able to deal with it more freely next time.

A few days later, the news came from the government that only He Yunqi and Tao Jiang brothers in their county had been selected as tributes and could continue to participate in the subsequent palace examinations, and the rest of them failed.

When the news spread to the village, people in Yu Wenliang's family seemed to have expected the result long ago, and they didn't react too much. Instead, there were some things in the village secretly discussing behind their backs, saying that Yu Zhou's ranking had been higher than Yu Wen's since the county examination. Good, he didn't go to Beijing to take part in the examination, so it was obviously a waste of time for Yu Wenliang to go.

Once, Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan happened to encounter someone gossiping behind their backs, so they replied that Wen Liang was still young, and a trip to the capital was also for gaining knowledge.His status in the village is not what it used to be, and everyone still wants to buy tea saplings and learn how to fry tea from him, so how dare they offend him.And Yu Wenliang is already a human being. Although he is young, it is not something that everyone can talk about casually.

So this incident did not cause any disturbance, but it passed in two or three days.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, Yu Zhou took Lin Yue to start clearing the land for growing tea tree seedlings.

Next to his house, he bought an extra vacant lot at first, intending to keep it for future expansion, but after building a house, there were a lot of green bricks left over, so Yu Zhou simply built a wall around that vacant lot.I didn't think much about it at the time, I just thought that even if it was temporarily used as a vegetable garden, the fence needed to be repaired, and the brick wall was stronger.

Now that it is time to raise seedlings for tea trees, I feel that it is an excellent choice.

Not only is it close, it is convenient for daily care, and it is surrounded by walls, so you don't have to worry about being tricked.

The place where the seedlings are raised has very high requirements on the soil quality. Yu Zhou and Lin Yue have been busy for more than half a month, and collected a lot of other materials to mix into the soil before they are satisfied with the soil quality.

After that, the new branches of the year are cut off with a leaf and a germ, and the branches are as long as the index finger, and the cuttings are stained with plant ash.

Getting the cuttings done is just the beginning, and then the shading and humidity control are tiring tasks. Only Yu Zhou can do these things himself, and others can help at most, and no one can replace them.

Just when he was so busy that he spent all his time in the seedling field except sleeping, He Yunqi and the others finally rushed back from the capital.
