Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 302

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, Xiuyao has already asked people to prepare holiday gifts, and give gifts to each other with people who often socialize. In addition, the shopkeepers and guys in the shop must also have etiquette.

On the fifteenth day, the Qin family had to go back to Taoyuan Village.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qin accompanied Old Qintou and Mrs. Zhang to go back to make preparations, while Qin Ye's siblings and others were returning home.

Xiuyao first prepared a generous gift and took Qin Yang to the old Liu's house in Yangliu Village to give gifts, so that Qin Yang, a young scholar, would give his grandparents a face, and then go home for the holiday.

Today is not what it used to be. Now the Qin family has a higher status in Taoyuan than the Zhou family. Once they return home, they are naturally welcomed.

Some families who rented Xiuyao’s land, or worked in her family, and were taken care of, even spontaneously beat gongs and drums to welcome them, and everyone came to give gifts.

Xiuyao's family didn't lack anything, they just gave some symbolic things, and then they could get more things from Qin's family.

They sent some needlework, and the Qin family would return a piece of meat or a few handfuls of eggs, or some grain. Of course, it was a good thing for nothing.

However, the Liu family also knows that they have always had a good relationship with their own family, so the rewards should naturally be generous. If those who only want to get rich halfway through, then they will be able to get by.

If you send a bottle of wine, I will seal the mooncakes back, or if you send a package of mooncakes, I will return a purse bought in the county or something like that.

Qin Sanshun's family had the cheek to come to celebrate the festival. Although they didn't bring anything, they also said nice things.No matter what they say behind their backs, as long as they are like a person in person, Liu doesn't care about it.Although they were not enthusiastic, they were not treated coldly, so they were allowed to stay with Mr. Zhang's old Qintou.

After a few days of excitement, Xiuyao has to arrange for someone to repair the biogas pool at home, and maintain the greenhouse.In addition to the care of a few masters all year round, there is also an annual overhaul. She doesn't want to be lazy about these things, and she has to supervise them herself.

So the three Qinye brothers went back to the county first, but she was not in a hurry.

During the busy day, Xiuli ran over, "Sister, Brother Haoran and Master Ning have come to see you."

Xiuyao froze for a moment, originally Feng Haoran told her that Gu Ning was coming, but he didn't come after a few days, but he didn't expect to come here suddenly.

She hurriedly put down the work she was doing and explained a few words to the masters, then walked home quickly, and saw two handsome young men standing under the crape myrtle tree. , Gu Ning was dressed in a cyan muslin robe, which was simple, but it did not damage his demeanor, instead it gave him a calm and elegant charm.

She hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, and greeted them with a smile, "It's just in time, our pomegranates are very sweet, and many fruits in the orchard are ripe, we even made cherry wine in summer, and now it's good."

Hearing her clear and sweet voice, looking at her hearty smile and clear eyes, Feng Haoran suddenly felt tightness and pain in his chest, but felt that although the world is impermanent and the world is changing, at least this girl is still so pure, kind, warm and bright.

It's like a crabapple flower in the distance, fresh and bright, always so warm and bright, it will not change because of his approach and distance, and will not wither because of the ruthless years.

So, can he only appreciate it from such a distance?
Can't you really fight for it?
Mother said that as long as she was willing, the Feng family would not be unable to accept her.

When meeting her clear eyes, Feng Haoran felt that when she looked at him, there was no difference, no difference from Gu Ning, they were both so happy and kind.

If I confessed to her, would she care?

But I always have to fight for it, but my mother's words echoed in my ears, "She won't like our family. It's one thing to do business with us, but it's another thing to come here for a lifetime. Although Miss Qin is busy making money, She seems to be a girl who likes money, but if you let her marry into a scheming high-end compound, she may not like it. You are my son, so mother will not look at you, okay? How can mother be willing to let herself How about a son who is as beautiful as pearls and jade, to be trampled under his feet?"

Xiuyao had already chatted with Gu Ning there, and what she was most grateful for was his influence to build the canal. Now they go to the county or Yangliu Village by boat, which is faster and more secure than walking.

"I heard that Gu Ning has gone to the capital to be an official. We all think that you are amazing. Even if you are not the number one scholar, you are still in the second place."

Although he was relieved a long time ago, Gu Ning's expression was still gloomy when she heard her talking. He smiled and said in a calm tone: "I didn't take part in the general examination and the palace examination, but I have to see him differently. I failed in the Ministry of Industry. A job vacancy is nothing but a thankless thing.”

Xiuyao felt sorry for him, but even if he didn't say anything, she could guess that there must be too many stories about those rich and noble families, which cannot be controlled by one or two people.

But she didn't understand why the Gu family didn't let him take the subsequent exams. With Gu Ning's literary talents, he would naturally be able to pass high school. Isn't this also a matter of glory?

Perhaps, the Gu family is a noble family, so they don't need their descendants to take the imperial examination. After all, they have nobles. She doesn't know those families well, so naturally she can't make random guesses.

Furthermore, although she knew that Gu Ning was the Duke of Gu Guo in the Jinan Prefecture, after all, Gu Ning hadn't said it himself, so she wouldn't expose it.

The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. When there is a need for help, it is enough to lend a helping hand to each other.

Although she didn't know whether her family would give Gu Ning gifts in the name of Taoyuan Village every festival, whether it would help his situation at home, but she still insisted on doing so.

"Things that don't thank you for your efforts are things that benefit the people. As for this canal, our Taoyuan Village and the people along our canal are very grateful."

While talking, they went to her study, Xiuyao invited them to sit down, and she made tea herself.

Gu Ning looked around and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that there are so many books in your house. Originally, I wanted to thank you for giving me so many gifts. I wondered if I should buy a few books. I didn't expect that you have more books here than I have ever seen. Everything."

He was naturally grateful for the gift from the Qin family. Even though the Qin family was just a nouveau riche, they were not that vulgar family.The gifts given to him are all rare things. Just imagine that during the Chinese New Year, cucumbers are more expensive than gold, and watermelons are even more rare. But Xiuyao gave them several carts, except for cucumbers, muskmelons, watermelons, and even And fresh fruit, grapes.

Thinking of those people at home who thought that the country old hat gave me just some fish and wanted to see his jokes, they saw a car full of precious and uncommon fruits and vegetables, and their jaws dropped. .

Although there are greenhouses in Jinan Prefecture that specialize in growing these, they are not as fresh and delicious as Xiuyao's, the fruits are not as sweet as hers, and the candied fruit is not as delicious.There is also a kind of preserved fruit raised in honey water, which is sweet and delicious, and it is more than enough as a tribute.

In the eyes of the Gu family, he gave away all the things that were so precious, and rewarded his servants. Thinking of the angry faces of those who never liked him, he felt that he would be happy thinking about it for the rest of his life.

Xiuyao smiled modestly and invited them to drink tea.

Gu Ning took out a copy, opened it and looked at a few pages, and said in surprise: "Why, do you have this book? Isn't it a lonely copy? I saw it in the royal study, and I haven't had time to copy it yet."

Xiuyao's heart skipped a beat, and she knew that there would be problems with the agricultural book she compiled from memory, but she only focused on sorting out the matters related to the ecological farm, as well as the crop rotation and intercropping, even if it overlapped with the existing agricultural book , and not too much.

Sure enough, Gu Ning looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "Your book is more complete and detailed, which is very good."

Feng Haoran was originally entangled in the matter of engagement, but at this time he also stepped forward to watch together.

For a moment, Gu Ning said happily: "Yaoyao, I didn't expect you to have unique insights into the river embankment."

Xiuyao was sweating profusely, she quickly waved her hands and said, "No, it's not, that's not the embankment, it's the small canal I designed for our house, it has nothing to do with the embankment."

Gu Ning said: "But I have benefited a lot from reading it, and feel that some ideas can be realized on the river."

He read several books one after another, and thought they were all good. Although he had seen similar ones, the contents were different, and he was immediately fascinated by them.

Feng Haoran was depressed. He never expected that Gu Ning would be so free and easy, so easy to take and let go, and he was also forced into marriage by his family. Why didn't he get entangled at all?
He pushed Gu Ning, gave Gu Ning a wink, and wanted Gu Ning to find a way to test Xiuyao's mind.

Gu Ning smiled at him, telling him to be calm.

Talking about topics of interest, time passed quickly, and an hour passed quickly.

Mrs. Liu came to ask them to eat, "There are fresh crabs, and they brought sea crabs and shrimp clams from the sea. They are very fresh. You should stay for dinner."

Feng Haoran immediately said loudly: "Mother Liu, that's for sure. We're just out to play, so we'll bother you for a few more days."

They want to stay?This was unprecedented, Xiuyao couldn't help but glance at Gu Ning.

Gu Ning explained: "The canal is open here. I haven't visited it yet. I'll take a look at it, and then I have to see how it is used and how it is maintained. If this canal is not properly maintained, it will silt to death within five years. "

Xiuyao smiled and said, "The magistrate of Huang County is a good county magistrate. He organizes people to dig mud to clean up the river. Those who don't participate will have to pay for it."

Gu Ning nodded, "Not bad."

When he was reading, Xiuyao looked at him quietly, not understanding why the Gu family didn't value him, he was so smart, good at reading, good-natured, it was the honor of the family to be favored by the Holy One.why...

Maybe there is a discrepancy in what I inquired about?After all, I haven't visited Gu's house, and I can't be 100% sure. It's hard to tell if outsiders spread rumors.

After lunch, she asked her father to invite Zhou Lizheng, Uncle Zhou, and Mr. Zhou to accompany Gu Ning to the aqueduct.

Zhou Lizheng and the others knew that Gu Ning had come to the Qin family, and they were all envious. Gu Ning was an all-round talent in civil and military affairs praised by the Holy Spirit.

If Gu Ning didn't speak, they would naturally be embarrassed to join in, so as not to annoy him.

They didn't expect the Qin family to invite them, which made them really grateful and brought generous gifts.

Soon, the magistrate of Huang county also brought people in Weifu to visit.

As soon as she got to the edge of the canal, Xiuyao felt that Gu Ning was like a different person. She changed her meek temperament and became energetic and resolute. Even dangerous places had to be seen by herself, and she was not dragging her feet. .

When directing people, he also has a natural courage, which has changed from the usual gentleness and indifference, which makes people have to admire.

If he is a parent official, it will be a blessing to the local people.
