The life of farming in ancient times with a system

Regardless of what everyone is thinking, as for the superficial work, we still have to do it.

Zhou Ji was very polite to the prefect, and the cook at home used all kinds of skills to cook a table full of meals.In order to entertain the prefect, the family took out all the good wines from the collection.

After a few cups of yellow soup, the prefect showed his original shape.With one hand resting on his chin and the other hand holding the wine glass, he said with a smile, "Is there no singing and dancing performance?"

Zhou Xiang raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with high spirits: "Yes, I went to a nearby dance studio to find someone, and I promise you will be satisfied."

After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other and showed like-minded smiles.

Zhou Ji sat silently, observing the young master silently.

Dancers come in, each in light clothing.How thin is it?You can see the smooth skin inside.

The prefect showed a confused expression, his nostrils fluttered a few times excitedly.Qingsha walked past his face, the expression on his face was so bright that he was almost drooling on the spot.

Zhou Ji's face instantly turned into a big dye vat.

He couldn't bear it anymore, kicked off the table leg, pretended to be drunk and walked out.

His wife found that his face was not good-looking, so she followed him quietly, and said in a low voice, "You drink too much, I will help you go back to your room."

"Don't help me, I'm not drunk at all." Zhou Ji's face was flushed, and he seemed very angry.He walked around a few times like a trapped animal, pointed in the direction of the living room, and said angrily, "Did you see that? He has no scruples at all with his appearance. Fengnian saw it too, and he didn't care if Fengnian was still there. Pull someone into your arms."

The wife said: "Fengnian didn't say anything, maybe Fengnian knew he was such a person, but he just wanted to?"

"He is ignorant, and neither are we?" Zhou Ji said.

The wife looked troubled.

A gust of wind blew over, the sweat on Zhou Ji's body turned into cold sweat, and he became calm.He said to his wife, "Go and call Fengnian, we have to talk to him."

Zhou Fengnian also drank some wine and walked crookedly.

He sat down on the chair and asked quietly: "What's the matter? The prefect is still waiting."

"Son, the prefect is definitely not a good match, do you really want to marry such a person?" Zhou Ji said anxiously.

Zhou Fengnian's eyelids opened slightly, and he said calmly, "Why don't you marry? To marry someone else, you may suffer a lifetime of poverty, and you may have to endure that person's three wives and four concubines. Marrying the prefect is different. Status and money are all there.”

"He will still have three wives and four concubines." Zhou Ji's wife said.

"So what? I don't love him that much. As long as I sit firmly in the position of wife, I don't care how many times he brings back." Zhou Fengnian said coldly.

There is no happiness in his eyes, as if the person who is about to marry is not him.

Zhou Ji's heart turned cold: "No matter how good or bad your life is in the future, you can't regret it, and you can't blame me and you."

"Why should I blame you? This is all my own choice." Zhou Fengnian said.

Zhou Ji waved his hand and let him go out.

In the afternoon, the prefect got drunk and was helped into the carriage in a daze.

"Fengnian, I don't want to part with you, I really want to marry you and go home soon." Before getting into the car, the prefect hugged Zhou Fengnian and did not let go.

Knowing that Zhou Fengnian didn't care, Zhou Ji and his wife watched as quietly as chickens.

Zhou Fengnian spent a lot of energy and called two more servants to tear this guy off.

Watching the carriage disappear into the street, the whole family breathed a sigh of relief.

No one made things difficult, and Lin Shen's life was regular and comfortable.Zhou's food is good, and the accommodation arranged is also good.Unlike the job they did before, they have eyes on their master and apprentice every day.Working here, no one is watching, you can rest if you want to rest, and three meals a day are ready to be delivered.

On this day, Zhou Ji came over to check on the progress.After reading it, he was full of praise for the old carpenter's craftsmanship: "Your craftsmanship is worth the price."

The old carpenter tilted his head, and his expression was full of complacency: "You get what you pay for, and my sweat and hard work are worth so much."

If his workmanship is not good, there will not be so many big families to hire him, and ordinary people can't afford to hire him.

Zhou Ji asked the old carpenter to talk aside, and only Lin Shen was working in the yard.Then he was not lazy, he did what he had to do, and he seemed diligent.

The old carpenter and Zhou Ji sat in a cool place drinking tea and chatting.

Zhou Ji's attention was divided to Lin Shen, and he glanced at him from time to time with a thoughtful look on his face.

The old carpenter is an old fox. He glanced at Lin Shen who was working hard and said, "Do you think the rumors outside him are different?"

"You also know about those rumors?" Zhou Ji asked back.

"I know, I won't accept a person with bad character as an apprentice." The old carpenter said lightly.

Lin Shen didn't stop working until dinner, and the old carpenter chatted with Zhou Ji all over the world, and it was a free morning.

Lin Shen went to wash his hands, the old carpenter had already put the food on the table.

As soon as Lin Shen came, the old carpenter stuffed the chopsticks into his hand.

"Master Zhou has been watching you quietly, probably because he regrets letting his elder brother divorce you." The old carpenter said lightly.

Lin Shen froze, and said with a little embarrassment, "You know?"

"You still want to hide it from me with your little thoughtfulness. Mr. Zhou wants to lie to me, and I happen to want to lie to him too. You made a baby kiss with the brother who came on the first day, and they disliked you for being too incapable to leave. " said the old carpenter.

Lin Shen nodded: "It's not my fault. I used to be a bit of a mess. A good brother, who would marry me? Besides, everyone has his own ambitions, and he is destined to be a flower in a greenhouse. I don't have a greenhouse. That's why you can't look down on me."

"As long as you can think about it, I'm afraid you will hold your breath." The old carpenter said.

"If I hold my breath, I won't come here to work." Lin Shen said with a smile.

In the eyes of others, being divorced is a very humiliating thing. Because of this, his father and Ah Mo simply separated from him and let him go outside to fend for himself.

Lin Shen didn't do that, the baby kiss was made before both parties were born, he had no feelings for Zhou Fengnian, and Zhou Fengnian also had no feelings for him.A twisted melon is not sweet, but it is a good thing to withdraw the marriage.

After Zhou Ji went back, he said to his wife: "Lin Sanlang looks okay, he is down-to-earth and capable. If Feng Nian hadn't divorced him, it might have been a good result."

"Fengnian won't be willing, he likes power and status. He prefers to marry the prefect's son, and he can have whatever he wants in the future." Zhou Ji's wife said.

"Forget it, everyone has his own destiny." Zhou Ji said with a sigh.

Zhou Fengnian reluctantly came to the backyard.

Zhou Ji gave him a push and said, "Don't be dazed. Let's see how the furniture is doing. If you have a style you like, tell the master quickly. Don't wait until it's finished, you'll start giving your opinions again."

Zhou Fengnian looked around and found that some furniture had already been made into semi-finished products.He does have a style of furniture that he likes, and he communicates with the old carpenter if he wants to have flowers or birds.

Lin Shen squatted on the ground, working conscientiously, without looking at Zhou Fengnian.

After talking to the old carpenter, Zhou Fengnian did not leave in a hurry.He took a fancy to a small toy hair, it was a weird car with four wheels, the top was open, the roof was open, and there were a few chairs inside, unlike any chair he had ever seen. Similarly, there was a villain sitting on the main seat in front. The villain was wearing weird clothes and was staring blankly at the front.

Zhou Fengnian picked up the things with a hand copy, and said with interest: "What is this? It's very interesting."

"I did this." Lin Shen hurriedly threw the things on the ground and snatched the car from him.

After he snatched it away, Zhou Fengnian realized that the four wheels were movable.

Zhou Fengnian was only interested just now, Lin Shen's reaction and this peculiar car, he wanted it even more if he couldn't get it.He stood still and asked condescendingly, "How much? I'll buy it from you."

Lin Shen put the toy into his arms, shook his head and said, "This is a little thing I made, and I don't sell it for money."

"I'll pay you a tael of silver." Zhou Fengnian was sure that Lin Shen would sell him the things.

Lin Shen still shook his head.

Zhou Fengnian was a little angry, and blamed Lin Shen for not being interested: "One or two halves, you can't add more. This thing is made of wood, and it's not worth much at all. The price I gave you is already sky-high, even if you It’s impossible to make so much money if you sell it to others.”

The dispute between the two of them reached Zhou Ji's ears.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Ji yelled and walked over.

Zhou Fengnian looked at Lin Shen indifferently, and said to his father, "I like something he makes, and I buy it from him, but he won't sell it. Dad, tell him, as long as I like it There is nothing I can't get."

Zhou Ji looked embarrassed, and looked at Lin Shen gently: "My Fengnian is like this. He is straight-hearted, and he can't hide what's on his mind. He can say whatever he wants. Let the family get spoiled. Don't be as knowledgeable as him. .Can you show me something?"

This is obviously money pressure.

Zhou Ji is Zhou Fengnian's biological father, so naturally he is towards Zhou Fengnian.

No one would be happy to be treated like this.

Lin Shen stood motionless, obviously suppressing his anger.

"I educate him."

The old carpenter called Lin Shen aside.

"You are stupid, that little toy sells for one tael and a half silver, enough to eat several meals of meat, so what if you sell it to him?"

"But, I gave it away." Lin Shen lowered his head, with a very reluctant expression on his face.

"Who is it for?" asked the old carpenter.

"Give it to—" Realizing that the old carpenter was trying to trick him, Lin Shen quickly shut his mouth.

The old carpenter smirked twice and said, "I know, it must not have been given to me."

Just as Lin Shen was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the old carpenter said, "I don't even have to guess who it's for."

Lin Shen couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Finally, the old carpenter asked him to take out the things, moving this and that, and said with a disgusted expression: "Your craftsmanship is too bad, and the little people you made are ugly as hell. There are also wheels, although they can move. , and the workmanship is rough. You can sell it to him, and it will be cheaper by one tael."

Lin Shen blinked: "But—"

"Don't you know how to draw blueprints? You draw the picture, and I will do it myself. I promise to make it several times better than what you are doing now." The old carpenter said, patting his chest.

With this guarantee, Lin Shen's expression softened a lot.

"Sold it to you."

He stuffed the car into Zhou Fengnian's arms and said.

Having achieved his goal, Zhou Fengnian smiled.

When Lin Shen said, "Just one tael of silver is all you need."

Zhou Fengnian insisted on giving him a tael of silver.

Seeing Zhou Fengnian's superior look, Lin Shen couldn't help laughing.Others are rushing to give him money, how can he have no reason not to?

With the extra money earned, Lin Shen has the motivation to work.

In the afternoon, they finished work early, mainly because the weather was bad and it was going to rain, so they carried all the wood into the house in advance.As soon as it was ready, the raindrops fell down with a crackling sound.

After a few days, Lin Shen became acquainted with the servants in the mansion.He borrowed paper and pen from the concierge, and wrote and drew on them for a long time.The old carpenter watched from the side, still whittling a piece of wood.When Lin Shen finished painting, the piece of wood also revealed the prototype of the car.

Lin Shen was dumbfounded: "You are too fast, I can't accept it."

The old carpenter snorted coldly and said, "How about I am the master and you are the apprentice?"

After a while, he finished the car, with a small figure sitting in it, much more delicate than the one Bishen had made before. On the four hand-grinded wheels, according to Lin Shen's intention, he engraved Lifelike patterns.

"Why are there patterns? When the car is driving on the road, all the beautiful patterns will be smoothed out, and it is useless to look at them." The old carpenter didn't understand.

Lin Shen said: "This is to increase the friction between the ground and the wheels, so that the car runs faster and more stably."

After speaking, he was stunned for a while.

"This can also be used on bicycles, so that the wheels will not slip." Lin Shen said.

The old carpenter nodded: "I'll give it a try when I get back, and if it works, tell the Jiang family immediately."

The two of them were talking, and the time passed without knowing it.

The rain didn't stop until it was dark, and the person who delivered the food was long overdue.

"I'm sorry, both of you. It's just raining heavily. We have already prepared the meals, but we just can't make it through."

The person who made rice apologized again and again.

The old carpenter expressed his understanding.

"Heh, today's meal is rich enough."

At the bottom is a dish of braised pork with preserved vegetables. The chef cooks it very authentically. It smells so fragrant that it makes people move their index fingers.

After a delicious meal, the two of them went to bed early.

At night, Lin Shen woke up suddenly, and faintly heard movement in the yard.He has not fallen asleep, listening with his ears sideways.After an unknown amount of time, there was no movement in the yard, and he fell asleep again in a daze.

Waking up in the morning, Lin Shen and the old carpenter worked together to move the wood to the yard.He has been so busy that he has almost forgotten what happened last night.

"Go here and look for it!"

"You look over there!"

The butler stood in the yard with a straight face and directed.Almost all the servants were dispatched by him.

Lin Shen stood at the door and looked outside, attracting the attention of a servant.

"Lin Sanlang, you must not come out." The servants are engaged in cleaning and often appear in the backyard.Lin Shen said a few words to him, and the relationship between the two is very good.

Lin Shen hid behind, poked out only one head, and whispered, "What happened?"

The servant came over, looked around like a thief and said, "Our brother's treasure is lost."

"What baby?" Lin Shen asked curiously.

"A cat, a cat covered in white, looks like something precious to my brother. I have to hug it every night when I go to bed, and there is a special cat slave who hugs it all day long. I am envious of the treatment. Just last night, the cat slave fell asleep, and when he woke up, he found that Jingui's cat was gone." The servant murmured and told the story.

"Where did the cat go?" Lin Shen asked.

The servant said: "Where do I know? If I knew, I would go and catch it quickly, and the master will reward you a lot!"

Lin Shen went back and wandered around without work.

The old carpenter said strangely: "What are you looking for?"

Lin Shen didn't say a word, he just pushed aside a pile of ruins without making a sound, and sure enough, he saw that a piece of soil on the ground had been moved.He found a branch and dug it on the ground, and the movement attracted the old carpenter on the side.

"I've been watching you for a long time, what are you looking for?"

After digging a few times, Lin Shen saw the dead cat buried in the ground.

"Why is it a dead cat?" The old carpenter said puzzled.

Lin Shen's eyes were straightened, he just became suspicious.Last night, someone entered the backyard and seemed to be burying something.The man was afraid of disturbing them, so he deliberately lowered his voice when he spoke, and he didn't hear what they said clearly.

The servant said that the cat was lost, and the housekeeper looked like he was facing an enemy. He suddenly remembered what happened last night.

"This cat is Zhou Fengnian's favorite cat. It was lost last night and was looking for it everywhere. Now it died here and was buried in the soil in the backyard, and there are only two of us living in the backyard." Lin Shen whispered.

The old carpenter encountered such a thing for the first time.

He is just a dutiful little commoner, diligently earning money by handicrafts.He is not like Lin Shen, who has read many novels in his spare time, including Zhaidou novels.What Lin Shen could think of, the old carpenter couldn't think of.

But one thing, the old carpenter did a good job, he listened to Lin Shen very much.He believed that Lin Shen would not harm him, and believed in Lin Shen's words.

After hiding the place well, Lin Shen and the old carpenter continued to work as if nothing had happened.

Zhou Fengnian turned the Zhou mansion upside down and couldn't find his beloved cat. Zhou Fengnian was very unhappy, lost his temper and beat up the cat slave.

Zhou Xiang strolled over, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why are you so angry?"

"Don't worry about it." Zhou Fengnian said angrily.

"I know, that naughty cat is gone." Zhou Xiang said quietly.

Zhou Fengnian loved that cat so much, he raised that cat to become fat and chubby, and he was so arrogant and coquettish that he would scratch people whenever he disagreed with him.Zhou Xiang was also scratched, and the side of Bai Nen's face was scratched, and it was almost disfigured at that time.

"Did you hide my cat?" Zhou Fengnian turned his beautiful eyes and stared at him firmly.

"Me? Why did I hide your cat? That fat cat is lazy and fat, and doesn't give me a good face every time." Zhou Xiang said with his eyes flickering a few times.

"You hate him, so you have to get him away." Zhou Fengnian said.

"It's really none of my business. There are so many beauties. I don't want to see them. I'm so full that I can't live with that cat of yours?" Zhou Xiang said gruffly.

Zhou Fengnian could only sit there and sulk.

Zhou Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to face the servants: "Are you sure you've searched all the places?"

"I'm looking for a kitchen..."

"I'm looking for the backyard stables..."

Zhou Xiang listened casually, and suddenly asked, "Did you find that courtyard?"

"I also looked for it in the backyard, I was the one to look for it..." A servant just opened his mouth when Zhou Xiang interrupted him impatiently.

"I'm talking about the place where the two outsiders lived."

Listening, Zhou Fengnian raised his head suddenly: "You mean Lin Sanlang?"

Zhou Xiang said cunningly: "You guessed it yourself, and it has nothing to do with me."

"Impossible, my cat has been active in the front yard and rarely goes to the backyard. And there are cat slaves watching, how could it be possible to go to the backyard?" Zhou Fengnian said as he stood up and walked out.

"Then maybe, that fat cat jumped on the roof, and several cat slaves couldn't catch up. The whole Zhou Mansion is his territory. Besides, the cat slave is asleep, and cats are active at night. It is also possible to run while he is asleep." Zhou Xiang's words were well-founded, and Zhou Fengnian was moved by what he said.

Before, he just held a little hope, but now he really suspects that Lin San has caught his cat.

Zhou Fengnian came in swaggeringly with his people.

The old carpenter's eyelids twitched, and he subconsciously glanced at Lin Shen.I thought: Shen'er really hit the spot, these people came fast enough.

Lin Shen's expression was as usual, and he didn't lift his head.

The old carpenter put down the tools in his hand and said, "Brother, your feet are so cheap, why are you here?"

Zhou Fengnian glanced at Lin Shen like a nail, and said arrogantly: "My cat is lost, I'll send someone to look for it."

"Oh, I haven't seen any cats." The old carpenter said it as if it was true, and he didn't even bat an eyelid when he told a lie.

Zhou Xiang said with a smile: "If there is any, just look for it."

"Find it for me when it's scattered, search all the places that can't be found. That cat is my brother's favorite thing, and I have to find it by scraping the ground."

As he spoke, Zhou Xiang winked at a servant.

Some of the servants went into the house to rummage through their luggage, while others picked it up and down in the yard.

Lin Shen stood up, frowned and said, "The cat is alive. If it was really here, you would have ran out if you made such a big commotion. He hasn't done anything now, maybe he isn't here at all."

"Maybe he's dead?" Zhou Xiang smirked at him, raised his chin and said to the servants beside him, "Dig! Dig up the ground, especially the corners. You must search carefully."

Under Zhou Xiang's secret signal, a servant picked away the sundries in the corner, pointed to a piece of ground and said, "This place has been dug up, maybe the cat was buried here."

Before Lin Shen could talk to the old carpenter, Zhou Xiang said impatiently, "Then what are you waiting for? Dig it up."

The servant was waiting for this sentence, so he threw off his arms and started working.

"How do you know the cat is down there?" Lin Shen leaned over and looked at Zhou Xiang with a blank expression.

...
