The Agricultural Tycoon of the Red House

The trip to Yangzhou took more than a month by boat.

Jia Amnesty had nothing to do, and he regretted that he didn't bring a beautiful concubine with him, and now the boat was full of old women except for the servants, and finally there were two young maids, who were not at all attractive. He lost his appetite.For more than half a month, apart from blowing his beard on the boat, Jia Amnesty just stood on the deck and spat at Jiang.

It turns out that life can be so boring, almost loveless!

This day, Jia Amnesty was still bored, sitting in the cabin in a daze.Suddenly, he saw a graceful woman passing by, with a slender figure, Jia She, who hadn't eaten meat for more than a month, was brightened.Jia Amnesty stood up quickly, and chased after the girl. Seeing that she was about to catch her, the little girl turned and abducted into Jia Lian's room.

Jia Amnesty froze for a moment, then remembered that there was a maid named Feng'er in Jia Lian's room, who was pretty.Unexpectedly, this kid was so thoughtful that he knew how to bring a beauty on board.This kid, with such thoughts, didn't know to remind his father!

Jia She looked at his cheeks angrily, and suddenly realized that he hadn't seen Jia Lian for some time.How long has it been?From the second day after boarding the boat, he has been hiding in the house and never came out.

Jia Amnesty was upset, and knocked on the door in a hurry: "Stinky boy, what are you doing hiding in the house every day?"

No response.

Jia She's face turned black, and he shouted: "Do it every day, do it every day, you are not afraid of kidney failure?"

The door opened, revealing Feng'er's delicate face.Feng'er lowered her head and slightly pursed the corners of her mouth, as if holding back a smile.

Jia She groaned, took a special look at Feng'er, and then walked into the room with his hands behind his back.

Jia Lian was sitting at the table, still holding the book in his hand, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

"Master, Second Master just fell asleep." Feng'er whispered.

"Why sleep? Didn't you get enough sleep at night?" Jia She couldn't save face, so he yelled loudly.

Jia Lian frowned slightly when he heard the noise, and opened his eyes slowly after a long time, with a tired look on his face.Seeing that it was Jia Amnesty, he got up and greeted him.

When Jia Amnesty saw the word 春 in front of the book Jia Lian was holding, he immediately thought of Erotic Pictures, stepped forward and snatched the book away, and reprimanded Jia Lian solemnly with the intention of teasing jealousy: "What are you looking at? You don’t want to make progress when you’re too old, and you spend your days in the house every day. Look at what you look like now, the dark circles under your eyes in broad daylight make you feel sleepy, and you want to squeeze yourself out before you’re reconciled? Restraint, You have to be restrained, do it every day, what kind of spring is there—”

Jia Amnesty raised the book in his hand to take a look, he made a long voice, his expression froze, "—Zhu Jiwen?"

"I took a book by mistake. The author called himself Han Qing, an old farmer, and thought he had written something useful. It turned out to be a record of prophecies, scriptures, Taoism and other folk anecdotes. I was sleepy after seeing it." Jia Lian beat Yawning, seeing Jia She still holding the book and froze there with a strange expression, squinting at Jia She.

"You just read this?" Jia She threw away the book embarrassingly, feeling extremely embarrassed. He flipped through the other books on the table, thinking that he would find something that would allow him to find fault and save face. content.

"Book of Fansheng", "Book of Chen Funong", "Book of Wang Zhennong", "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration"...

Just looking at the name, Jia She's brain was buzzing, and his mouth felt bitter.

"Son, you just watch these things while hiding in the house every day?"

"The crystallization of wisdom, the ancients are really powerful." Jia Lian looked at the books on the table approvingly, and praised them sincerely.

Jia Amnesty: "..."

Jia Amnesty brought her face closer to Jia Lian, "Look at me, do you still know your father?"

Jia Lian leaned back defensively, keeping a safe distance from Jia Amnesty, "According to the calculations, it is true that we haven't seen each other for more than half a month. But I go out for a walk every morning, but you always drink at night. Can't see me."

"It's my fault." Jia She said angrily.

"Drinking too much alcohol will hurt your health." Jia Lian reminded him expressionlessly.

Jia She gave Jia Lian a hard look, and would never accept his 'kind' reminder.

In the evening, father and son seldom got together for dinner.

Jia She looked at Feng'er, the chopsticks holding the chicken leg loosened, and the chicken leg slipped and fell to the ground.

Jia Amnesty threw his chopsticks angrily, slapped the table and scolded: "Since I got on the boat, I have no one around to serve me. I don't feel comfortable eating and living here. It's so annoying!"

Jia Lian didn't say a word, he took a piece of chicken leg and tasted it. He thought it tasted pretty good, so he spit out the bone after eating it in two or three bites.

Seeing that he was eating so deliciously, Jia Amnesty became even angrier, pointed at the tip of Jia Lian's nose and moved his mouth, but at last he didn't know what to say, so he let out a heavy sigh.

Jia Lian took a few more mouthfuls of vegetables and finished the rice in the bowl.

"You, you, you..." Seeing that he was getting more and more arrogant and had no intention of caring about himself, Jia Amnesty hummed angrily.

After a while, Jia She said with a cold face: "Lian'er, I think you are quite dexterous as a maid, you can serve people, and you are very good at serving you."

After Jia Amnesty finished speaking, he deliberately gave Jia Lian a wink, hoping that he would show 'filial piety'.

"It's just that you lost your hand with a chicken leg, so you lost confidence in yourself?" Jia Lian stared into Jia She's eyes, and made Jia She feel guilty, so that Jia She avoided his gaze and looked elsewhere.

Jia Lian stood up, picked up the chopsticks again, and put the remaining three chicken legs on the table into Jia Amnesty's bowl.

"It doesn't matter if father doesn't like to use chopsticks, I can pick up food for you every meal."

Jia Lian raised his eyebrows and glared at Jia Lian, wanting to show him that he didn't understand what he meant.

Jia Lian picked up the drumstick, shaved off all the meat on it, and brought it to Jia Amnesty again.

Jia Amnesty refused to eat.

Jia Lian looked at Jia She in puzzlement, and explained to Jia She: "Two chicken legs are one chicken... Domestic chickens generally take about fourteen months to grow, and it is especially easy to appear during feeding... Before that, hen Only when chickens incubate eggs will there be chicks. If the conditions are good, the hatching rate is about 21%, and an egg must be safely hatched at a suitable temperature for [-] days before the chicks will break out of their shells and hatch..."

"Stop talking, I'll eat." Jia Amnesty couldn't stand Jia Lian's nagging, finished the chicken in the bowl, put down his chopsticks and went back to his room in displeasure.

Feng'er knelt down to Jia Lian with a plop to thank her.

"Master just wants to eat a few chicken legs, it has nothing to do with you." Jia Lian looked at her calmly, and stated lightly that the words were not emotional, but they were very soothing to Feng'er.

Feng'er nodded with a choked up sob, and looked at Second Master Lian's back with tears in her eyes.

……

The next day, Jia Lian still had dinner with Jia Amnesty.Just as Jia She was about to pick up the chopsticks, Jia Lian yelled "Stop", took a new pair of chopsticks, and picked up vegetables for Jia She himself.

Seeing this, the serving women couldn't help but sigh for the filial piety of Lian Erye.

"You all leave."

After Jia Lian sent everyone away, he frantically picked up the vegetables on the table. The meat and vegetables were mixed together, mashed with a spoon, and a spoonful was brought to Jia Amnesty's mouth.

Jia She was so angry that he glared at Jia Lian, he was not serving him, he was clearly treating him like a child!

Jia Lian turned a blind eye and made another gesture of delivering food.

Jia She was so angry that he pushed Jia Lian's hand.Jia Lian seemed to have anticipated Jia Amnesty's resistance, took a step back, and securely kept his job.

"Brat, what do you think I am, a three-year-old kid?"

Jia She opened his mouth wide and yelled, and just as he finished speaking, his mouth was suddenly stuffed with rice.

"Seeing that you don't like to use chopsticks, I can serve you meals. These are the duties of a son. You don't have to feel sorry for me." Jia Lian took another spoonful and stuffed it into Jia Amnesty's mouth expressionlessly, "Rice Grains are not easy to come by, from sowing in early spring, hoeing, watering... and finally harvesting in autumn, the rice has to be hulled and pounded with a mortar before we can eat the white rice we are eating now."

Jia She was so angry that he spat out the food in his mouth. He was dissatisfied with Jia Lian's behavior in the first place, but this kid was still whispering these things in his ears.Jia Amnesty blushed and rolled up his sleeves.

"Father wants to beat me?" Jia Lian put down the spoon in a gentle manner, looked at Jia She understandingly, and reminded him kindly, "Then you should think of a good name, otherwise the old ancestor will blame you after hearing about it, and it will be mine." guilty."

"What do you mean? Are you threatening me with the old lady?"

"I'm just afraid that you will have a difficult life in the future. A month ago, the old lady heard that you liked to collect fans, so she spent a lot of money. She was very angry. She didn't care about your love for telling her stories. But she said, you If any other troubles arise, she will give you a severe lesson and order the accountant to stop your expenses." Jia Lian relayed.

"Damn it, who told this story!" After Jia She shouted, he looked at Jia Lian suspiciously.

"I'm not the one who is most afraid of your spending money in my family. Think for yourself, I don't want to say more." Jia Lian reminded vaguely, and let Jia Shen make up the rest.

Jia Amnesty immediately thought of his prudish second brother Jia Zheng, so he didn't get angry, and scolded him for so long that he forgot what Jia Lian had provoked him just now.Jia Amnesty vented to the end, and told Jia Lian that their father and son must work together to deal with the second wife.

Jia Lian nodded.

Jia Amnesty was so happy that he went back to his room humming a little tune.

……

Three days later, when the boat arrived at Yangzhou Ferry, Jia Lian saw a group of people standing on the shore from a distance. The leader was a middle-aged man with a handsome demeanor and a refined demeanor. He knew it was Lin Ruhai.

Jia Lian squinted and stood at the bow of the boat, looking at him from a distance, and the distance between him and him became closer and closer as the boat approached the shore.Although he still couldn't see Lin Ruhai's facial features and demeanor clearly, Jia Lian had a vague feeling that this Lin Ruhai should be a very easy-going person.

After docking, Jia Lian and Jia She got off the boat one after another, and Lin Ruhai greeted them excitedly.

After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Jia Lian could still discern the excitement in Lin Ruhai's words and deeds, which showed that he was really happy for him and Jia Amnesty's arrival.
