After dressing as a villain, I am addicted to farming

Qu Zhong didn't stop him, he just twitched his lips and watched Du Chengji leave.

If anyone had changed the most in the past seven years, it would be Du Chengji.

The cheeks that were white and plump like steamed stuffed buns had already lost weight, revealing Du Chengji's original appearance.

Unexpectedly handsome, coupled with his slim figure after slimming down, now he looks like a gentle, elegant and dignified young master of a family.

These years, Du Chengji has been staying in Zhijun Pavilion, and he has long become the second most effective person besides Qu Zhong.

"Prepare the car, let's go too."

Turning his head and pouting at Da Ying, Qu Zhong also took a coir raincoat, turned around and put it on, and stepped out of the room first.

He planned to go back to the mansion, first to see his father, and then to Yao Wenxuan's mansion.

did not expect.

The figure that suddenly appeared in front of the door made him stop and stay where he was.

Outside the door, Yao Guangyao and Xu Shanxiang were about to enter the door with crutches, and Lao Chengwang and his guards stood beside him.

"Grandfather, you are..."

Seeing that the three of them were wearing coir raincoats, Qu Zhong looked at the three of them in puzzlement. Are they planning to go out?

"We know your kid's plan. If you don't come here in a hurry, you plan to go back to the house, so as not to stay here and cause you trouble."

Xu Shanxiang stomped his cane vigorously, and the splashed rain water splashed onto the trouser legs of several people.

But no one cared, the expressions of several people were a little dignified, and they only noticed the bean-heavy rain outside the corridor.

Qu Zhong thinks about it and it is true that the future is unknown, the three of them stay here and don't know what they will encounter, it is better to go back to Xichuan County first.

"Okay, I'll have someone prepare the carriage."

After speaking, he rushed into the rain curtain first, and walked out of the gate without stopping.

Yao Guangyao said something behind him, but Qu Zhong didn't hear it at all.

It wasn't until he found their respective carriages, unloaded the threshold and watched the carriages go in, that he got into the carriages with confidence.

"Go home."

Knocking on the wall of the carriage, Qu Zhong closed his eyes and fell asleep, while his wet hair was still dripping.

In the rain of Nuo Da, Da Ying drove the carriage cautiously, completely ignoring that his whole body was soaked, and only wanted to send the young master safely to the mansion.

I have been with the young master for ten years.

In the beginning, he was running errands, following the young master in and out of the brothel, waiting to pick up the young master back home the next day.

Then the young master was about to go up, and he became the young master's servant, running around with the young master.

Then, Shijun Pavilion became a famous place in Xichuan County.

He became the third manager of Big Win who everyone in Zhijun Pavilion knew.

The parents who sold him back then also came to the door. The young master asked him if he wanted to go home, but he refused.

He is stupid, but he is not stupid. The past few years with the young master have been his best life, and he has saved a lot of money.

He thinks the young master is a good man.

Now that there is a natural disaster, the young master's actions made him feel that he is following the right person, and the young master is a good person.

"Master, sit still."

Shouting towards the carriage, Da Ying raised his whip.

The horse neighed, and it really ran faster.

On the wide official road, a carriage galloped, and the muddy water splashed turned the weeds on the side of the road into an earthy color, and everything looked extremely anxious.

Qufu

"Liang'er, it's raining so hard outside, don't go out."

Holding the needle in her hand, Mrs. Xu was embroidering something with her head down. Seeing that Qu Liang broke away from the nanny and was about to go out, she hurriedly stopped her.

"Mother, mother, it's raining, why hasn't elder brother come home yet?"

Qu Liang's long hair was almost carved out of the same mold as Qu Zhong's when he was a child. Every time he opened his eyes and talked, Xu felt that he was talking to Zhong'er.

"You miss your brother."

Looking up and smiling, Mrs. Xu caught Qu Liang who was rushing towards him, turned to Qu Zhao and said, "I don't know what kind of ecstasy Zhong'er gave this kid."

Unexpectedly, Qu Zhao was looking out of the window in a daze, but did not hear Xu's words.

"Master...Master?"

Xu carried Qu Liang and walked to Qu Zhao's side, only then did Qu Zhao regain his senses.

"Master is worried about the rain"

The master has been depressed since he returned to the mansion yesterday, and Mrs. Xu can guess a little bit.

The only thing that could make him so frowning, except Zhong'er, was the affairs of the court.

"That's right, the rain won't stop for a while."

Yesterday, Qin Tianjian said that the rain is very likely to cause floods, and the emperor should make preparations for disaster relief in advance.

But when the emperor mentioned it at the court meeting, the household department was the first to jump out and shout that there was no money.

To advance so much money in advance, the household department can't get it out.

It was a noisy call again, but the result was nothing. In the end, the household department only promised to postpone it for a few days, and then transfer the money according to the situation.

"These old wretches..."

Punching hard on the window lattice, Qu Zhao's eyes were cold and hard.

Qu Zhao always remembers the flood 27 years ago that his father once said, and how many people died in that year.

Not many years have passed since then, and these officials have completely forgotten about it.

"Master, you scared the child."

Xu stretched out his hand to grab Qu Zhao's bruised hand, and patted it reassuringly.

"It's because I worry too much." Qu Zhao looked at the younger son with a calm expression, and stretched out his hands to hug the child.

Forget it, the court doesn't care anyway, and it doesn't count if he says it.

Instead of worrying about these, it is better to take this opportunity to spend time with your wife and children.

"Master, the second young master is back."

Holding an umbrella, Mrs. Lu reported outside the door.

"Zhong'er, Zhong'er is back?"

Mrs. Xu stepped out excitedly, wanting to see where the person was through the rain curtain.

"The young master is going back to the yard to change clothes first, let the old slave come and report."

After listening to the mother-in-law's report, Xu hurriedly waved to the mother-in-law, planning to arrange meals in the kitchen.

Qu Zhao, on the other hand, had a slight smile on his face, and felt much more relaxed.

Sure enough, it was his son, and he must have come back for this matter.

It turns out that he is not the only one who thinks far.

"Brother is back, eat candy and candy."

Qu Liang twisted his body and broke away from Qu Zhao's embrace, and ran to his treasure box, which contained the candy he left for his elder brother.

"This kid."

Smiling and shaking his head, Qu Zhao sat back on the low couch in front of the window.

"Father, mother."

Not long after, Qu Zhong, who had changed his clothes, came to the main courtyard with his long wet hair.

"I'm so old that I don't even dry my hair."

Xu exclaimed, and hurriedly beckoned the women to bring the cloth towels.

Then he sat down on the round stool according to Qu Zhong, and brushed his hair himself.

"Thank you, mother. As expected, mother is still the best to me."

Smiling and enjoying Xu's actions, Qu Zhong caught the little fat man who rushed into his arms.

I don't know whether this child has a good appetite or is well-raised. It is white and round like a rice dumpling.

"Brother, eat candy."

Holding up the candy to Qu Zhong's mouth, Qu Liang smiled with a few small teeth on his face like a bun.

"So sweet, so sweet."

Pretending to take a sip, Qu Zhong handed the sugar to Qu Liang again.

Xu's management is strict, this candy is not easy to eat, now seeing that his brother has eaten it, Qu Liang, who was drooling, immediately licked a few mouthfuls.

"It's a good thing you're so greedy that you can still leave candy for me."

Hugging the steamed stuffed bun hard and kissing it, Qu Zhong laughed in satisfaction.

"You came back this time to deceive the children."

Qu Zhao took a sip of tea and looked at Qu Zhong expressionlessly.

"You two chat, I'll go and see the kitchen." Seeing Qu Zhao's expression, Mrs. Xu knew that they were talking about business.

Hastily hugged Qu Liang, who was unwilling to leave, and coaxed him to eat candy.

"That's right, I came back to the mansion just because of the rain."

He also wanted to hear the court's plan for the rain, whether to let it go or to plan ahead.

"The household department said there is no money."

Frowning, Qu Zhao slammed the teacup on the table heavily, and felt blood welling up when he mentioned this matter.

These old stubborn people always have a fluke mentality, and they are afraid of spending money, even the emperor will have nothing to do with them.

Expected.

Qu Zhong just raised his eyebrows, showing no sign of disappointment.

In the past few years, I have dealt with the imperial court a lot, and I have a deep understanding of how difficult it is to buy strawberries and wine silver every year.

I didn't see them being so evasive while eating.

If he hadn't found the father of Hubu Shangshu who was listening to books in Zhijun Pavilion, I'm afraid it would be difficult to get this money every year.

"The rain won't stop for ten days and half a month."

After drinking a cup of hot tea, Qu Zhong finally felt that the chill had eased a bit.

"What are your plans?"

Qu Zhao got up and stared at Qu Zhong with burning eyes.

He knew his son, if he hadn't come prepared, he definitely wouldn't be in such a relaxed state.

I'm afraid I've been bluffing and screaming for a long time.

"I don't have anything else, but I have money."

Blinking at Qu Zhao, Qu Zhong completely withdrew from his plan.

The figures and plans were also described in detail.

"You are going to empty out the Zhijun Pavilion..."

Qu Zhao was surprised and couldn't believe it.

A few years ago, the emperor cheated him of tens of thousands of taels to buy padded jackets for the border army. Qu Zhao still remembers how Qu Zhong jumped up and down at that time.

At that time, the mansion could only see him going in and out dejectedly.

This time, he was so cruel that he wanted to empty his pockets.

Embarrassedly pinching his cheeks, Qu Zhong whispered, "There are still some left."

Once the money is invested, it will be in vain. If the money is gone, he will go back home to eat his parents.

But Shijun Pavilion still has more than 1000 mouths, what do these people eat when they have no money.

Compared with those refugees who didn't know if they were there, he had to think more about the guys who followed him.

"Then you don't have much left."

For a moment, there were mixed feelings in his heart, and Qu Zhao seemed to have never understood his son.

Whenever he thought Qu Zhong was like this, he changed into another.

Just like the new kind of cabbage, one layer is peeled, and there is another layer.

"The Zhijun Pavilion comes in quickly, and it won't take long to earn it back."

Shrugging indifferently, Qu Zhong looked relaxed.

Based on the current earning power of Zhijun Pavilion, it only takes a year or two for the money to come back.

So he really didn't feel too sad.

However, this indifferent attitude made Qu Zhao look serious.

Why should Qu Zhong be responsible for this matter? This is the court's business.

Sighing, Qu Zhao has already planned to enter the palace as soon as the palace gate opens tomorrow morning, and discuss this matter with the emperor.

Even if it can't be solved, we still have to win some benefits for Qu Zhong.

"Get a good night's rest when you come back, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow morning."

Immediately stopping the conversation, Qu Zhao lowered his head and continued drinking tea.

"I have to go back to Shijun Pavilion after dinner."

The people he sent out should be able to come back in the middle of the night at the earliest, and he had to be present.

"Okay, don't let your mother know, lest she worry."

He didn't stop Qu Zhong at all, Qu Zhao just ordered in a low voice.

If the wife knew that her son was going to do such a dangerous thing next, she would be in trouble day and night and shed tears.

Instead of that, it's better to hide it from her.

"Master, Master Yao is here."

Da Ying, who had already changed his clothes, stuck his head in from the door and reported in a low voice.

Yao Wenxuan....

Qu Zhong still plans to find him!

How could this kind of rich man not pull him to do good deeds together.
