Starting from a thatched cottage, the farmer embarked on the road to wealth through imperial examina

On the night after the exam, it started snowing lightly.

Housekeeper Dai Xing reported to Ye Changyan and Cai Lao that the construction of new greenhouses had started on the tenth day of the first lunar month in the farm in Sanyuan County. Due to the experience gained from the experimental greenhouses, the construction was completed faster this time and several new greenhouses have been almost completed.

Yang Lin and his son came over again this morning to deliver a batch of fresh vegetables. They said they planned to prepare to transplant the various vegetables that had already been grown and the strawberry seedlings they had bought in the next two days.

"Sir, the results of this exam will not be announced for a few days. If there is not much snow tomorrow, shall we go to the farm and plant strawberries?"

Upon hearing this, Liang Jingcheng and Xing Wang looked at Mr. Cai excitedly. Seeing that Mr. Cai was a little hesitant, Ye Changyan continued.

"Sir, don't worry. We've brought two hot water bottles and a thick blanket to spread on the carriage. I guarantee you won't feel cold when you sit in it."

When Mr. Cai heard Ye Changyan say this, he laughed.

"Once we are at the farm, you don't have to worry, sir. It's as warm as spring in the greenhouse."

"That's fine! If the snow isn't too deep tomorrow, we'll go to the farm."

Seeing that the head of the family and the two young masters were very happy, the butler Dai Xing smiled and bowed to Mr. Cai, Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng, and spoke respectfully.

"Master, gentlemen, my two grandsons have nothing to do at home all day. I want to take them to the farm to help out and learn some farm skills from Manager Yang."

Dai Xing has been following Mr. Cai for more than 30 years, and has been working diligently all these years. A few years ago, Mr. Cai asked Dai Xing to bring his only son to Shengjing and arranged a good place for him. Mr. Cai has also met Dai Xing's two grandsons several times.

"I remember your two grandsons were called Dai Song and Dai Bai. I remember when your wife passed away, these two children came to your house with their father to pay their respects. They were two chubby little kids."

"I didn't expect the master still remembered these two children. Now Dasong is fifteen and Xiaobai is thirteen. They didn't learn any skills from their father. Watching the children grow up day by day, it's not a good idea for them to not have a way to make a living in Shengjing City."

Ye Changyan didn't mind the fact that Butler Dai was trying to find a way out for his grandson in front of the teacher and himself. Butler Dai had been following the teacher diligently for all these years and had made contributions and hard work. He was frank in planning for the future of his children and grandchildren in front of the master and acted in an upright manner, which Ye Changyan admired to some extent.

Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run. Ye Changyan thought that if the two grandsons of Steward Dai were really willing to learn and work hard, arranging some tasks for them would just be a favor. Besides, he was in need of trustworthy people at the moment.

"Uncle Dai, call your two grandsons tomorrow and ask them to prepare some clothes for changing. The farm is short of manpower right now. As you know, I don't trust outsiders much when it comes to the greenhouse. If they do a good job, I can give them other things to do later."

When Dai Xing heard this, he immediately smiled. Dai Xing was well aware of the importance of the Seventh Young Master in front of the master. Moreover, after the beginning of the year, Dahu and Erhu from the Yang Lin family really went to the private school in the town to study. All of this was the work of the Seventh Young Master in front of him.

I have to tell my two grandsons to do their best, and the Seventh Young Master will definitely arrange a good place for them.

The next day, although there were still scattered snowflakes in the sky, the snow on the ground was not thick. Lu Tingfeng took anti-slip measures for the carriage and then took Ye Changyan and his disciples to the farm in Sanyuan County.

After leaving the city and heading towards Sanyuan County, Ye Changyan and his disciples found that the closer they got to the farm, the thicker the snow on the ground. Fortunately, Lu Tingfeng had taken sufficient anti-slip measures so that it did not affect the progress of the carriage.

It seems that Shengjing City, with a population of one million, has already formed a heat island effect. However, compared with Ye Changyan's previous life, it is not very obvious.

When Ye Changyan and his party arrived at the farm, they saw Dai Xing, Yang Lin and others already waiting at the intersection next to the official road. Next to Dai Xing stood two young men, who seemed to be his two grandsons.

The carriage soon stopped at the gate of the manor. After a brief greeting, Master Ye Changyan and his disciples entered the experimental greenhouse.

"It's really as warm as spring in this greenhouse."

Mr. Cai untied the cloak he was wearing and exclaimed in admiration for the warmth in the greenhouse.

"Master, these are some fast-growing leafy greens and leeks, and over there are seedlings of fruits and vegetables."

Yang Lin hurried forward to introduce the situation inside the greenhouse to Teacher Cai and a few other students. Teacher Cai looked around and nodded with satisfaction.

"The leeks are growing really well. The leeks you and your son sent over yesterday were also very fresh. To be able to eat such fresh vegetables in this weather, it seems that the greenhouse experiment is indeed very successful!"

Hearing Mr. Cai's praise, Yang Lin's face was also full of joy. After the new year, Dahu and Erhu went to the town to study. Originally, Butler Dai came over in the morning and said that the master and the two young masters would come to the farm. Yang Lin was planning to let the two children take a day off.

Dai Xing stopped Yang Lin and said that since the master and the young master had arranged for the two children to study, they should naturally sit in the classroom when they should study. The master and the young master would definitely not blame him for coming over and the two children not being with them.

Sure enough, the master and the Seventh Young Master had just asked Yang Lin specifically, and when they learned that Dahu and Erhu had already gone to the private school in the town, they nodded with satisfaction.

Afterwards, Yang Lin took Master and Apprentice Ye Changyan to check out several other newly built greenhouses. Yang Lin's wife and mother were planting strawberries in one of the greenhouses.

Master Ye Changyan and his apprentice stayed in this greenhouse.

"Manager Yang, we are here today to plant strawberries. Please mark out a piece of land for us to plant. When the strawberries grow, we will come to pick them."

"Oh, Seventh Young Master, this ground is dirty. You, Sixth Young Master, and the master are all scholars who hold pens. Don't dare to dirty your hands!"

"Manager Yang, don't worry. We are here to experience life. Besides, it will be more fulfilling to eat the strawberries we grow ourselves!"

Yang Lin seemed a little confused. This kind of land would only become dirty, so how could he feel any sense of accomplishment? However, seeing the master's smiling face, the Sixth Young Master was also eager to try, so Yang Lin had to mark out a piece of land for them.

Ye Changyan briefly explained to Yang Lin the arrangements for Dai Xing's two grandsons, and asked him to lead the others to get busy. He and several of his teachers and students also picked up farm tools and started planting strawberries.
