After the wedding was over, Mrs. Wang also started to pack her things and prepare to go home. In the past few days, Uncle Ma had been thinking about the crops at home, so he couldn't wait to go back.

When he learned that Xichun and Fu Changfeng wanted to keep Xiaofeng to study here, Ma Dawei was reluctant at first, but after Wang's persuasion, he finally agreed.

Being able to follow a powerful brother-in-law will make life much easier in the future. Xiaofeng will always be a child of their Ma family. If he succeeds in the future, it will be an honor for their Ma family. Others cannot ask for such an opportunity.

So after thinking it over, I still kept Xiaofeng.

Xiaofeng remembered his parents' instructions that he must not be as lazy at his sister's house as he was at home. He should also be discerning, diligent, and take care of his nephews, so even though Xichun had told him to let his servants take care of him, Xiaofeng also refused.

On weekdays, when I see Mr. Fu and Mrs. Fu, they are very polite and courteous. They actively come forward to help in any situation, but it makes Mrs. Fu feel embarrassed.

"Xiao Feng, you are at my sister's house. You don't need to be so polite. You are already very tired from completing the homework taught by your brother-in-law every day. You don't need to do this anymore. If the servants dare to bully you, just tell us, you He is the uncle of the family."

"Thank you Auntie, I will remember it." Although Xiaofeng said this, he still did not change his diligent nature.

On weekdays, the two children were throwing toys around, and Xiaofeng followed them to pick them up without complaint. At first, Xichun didn't notice this, but one day after seeing it, he severely criticized Azhao and Azheng, and then called Xiaofeng. inside the house.

"Xiao Feng, you are at my sister's house. There is no reason for you to work. It's not like there is no one to do it. They have to take care of their own things. You have to show your role as an uncle. You can't do it arbitrarily. Because they are so willful."

Xichun taught him carefully, hoping that he would be more cheerful and lively. In her memory, Xiaofeng had always been a lively boy, but over the years, his personality had changed a lot.

"Sister, I'm worried that if I don't work harder when I live here, people will gossip about you. Anyway, there's not much to do, so I just did it."

"How can that be done? You can just study with peace of mind. If you feel that you are not working, then you can do your own thing from now on. I have no objection. But don't worry about people like A Zhao and A Zheng. Let them do it by themselves. Do.

You are studying at my sister's place, not doing hard work. I don't want to see you like you are depending on someone else. You don't need to do that here, do you understand? "

Seeing that Xiaofeng kept his head down, Xichun thought he was unwilling, so she pulled him to her side and found that he was crying silently.

"Xiao Feng, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?" Xichun asked anxiously.

"Sister, no one has ever told me this. I was at home, and my mother was busy all the time. I couldn't see it, so I had to help. Grandma said that no one is free of charge, and you can't just be a freebie just because you read a book. The deputy young master has a bad temper, I thought you thought so too.

Today I realized that my sister is different from others and has never asked me to do this. I was very touched. "

"Okay, okay, people say that men don't shed tears easily. Why have you developed the temperament of a little girl? Remember, you have to be tougher in the future. Studying hard is already the best reward. , if you don’t study seriously, then I will spank you.”

"Sister, can you beat me somewhere else? People say there are differences between men and women. It's okay if I don't let my brother-in-law beat me." Xiaofeng looked at her in horror. "Haha, I am your sister. If you study hard, there will be no punishment." Xichun touched his head, but he still avoided it silently.

In the following days, Xiaofeng also changed. Fu Changfeng found a private school with a good reputation for him and sent him and Azhao there. The two of them also lived a life of carrying book boxes to school every day.

When Mrs. Fu and Mrs. Fu saw that the weather was getting colder, they thought it had been almost a year since they had been here. They both felt homesick, so they packed their things and headed home.

Fu Changfeng and Xichun tried to persuade them for several days, but still could not change their minds, so they had no choice but to find an escort to send them home safely.

On this day, Fu Changfeng was reading files in the county government office, and Li Cheng suddenly walked in.

"Sir, there is a letter here. It seems to be specially for you. Please take a look." Li Cheng did not open it and read the contents, but directly held it in front of Fu Changfeng.

He originally thought it was another ordinary newspaper, but he never thought that it actually contained a personal letter from the prefect. He thought in his heart that the water tanker that he had previously submitted to him had finally received a response.

It turned out that Lord Pay had reported this water tanker to Fu Changfeng at the beginning, but in the past few months there had been no news. The prefect also hoped that this water tanker would become a political achievement for his subordinates, so he invited a familiar official from the capital to go there. Understand this.

Only then did I know that someone had secretly left this memorial and the method of making the waterwheel above to make a lot of money for himself.

The prefect was also very helpless. After all, he was a local magistrate, and it was impossible for him to go to the emperor to complain about this matter, so he had to suffer the disadvantage of being dumb.

But just last month, the emperor secretly paid a private visit incognito. When he arrived in Jiangnan Road, he saw that many villages were using this farm tool and it improved the efficiency of watering the fields. After being shocked, he learned that this tool was from Shaoming County. Made and promoted.

After the emperor was overjoyed, he thought that they did not report such farm tools to the court, but sold them privately, so he was about to get angry when someone mentioned that the prefect of Juzhou had reported about the waterwheel a few months ago.

Later, the emperor found out the whole story after investigating, and asked someone to draw up an imperial edict to commend the prefect of Juzhou and the magistrate of Shaoming. The prefect was naturally very happy after getting the news, and quickly told Fu Changfeng about it, but in the letter At the end, he still vaguely mentioned that he might be hated by others because of this matter, and asked him to keep a low profile.

"Sir, this is really great. No matter what, our water tanker can be considered in front of the Holy Land. This is also your political achievement." After analysis by Li Cheng and Zhao Yuping, this matter is always a good thing.

"Yes, it's thanks to the publicity of several families in the county, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to come forward. Don't tell anyone about this yet. We'll wait until the imperial edict arrives, okay?" Fu Changfeng was also excited, but at this moment He did not forget the prefect's advice.

Xichun was very excited when he learned about this, but the two of them discussed it and still wanted to find out whose interests this incident had hindered, so that they could take precautions in the future.

"When the imperial edict arrives, we will write to my parents about it and make them happy. By the way, I received a letter from home today, saying that my eldest brother has passed the exam."

This was truly a double happiness. Fu Changfeng invited Tao Zi and Zhao Yuping, and the three of them had a drink to celebrate in private. (End of chapter)
