Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man

Aunt Zhao was confused.

Qin Ying simply took the clothes, turned over the sleeves, put a piece of cloth inside, and sewed them based on the original material.

Then he picked out a piece of cloth from the bundle that was slightly darker than the color of the clothes, folded it in half, and cut out two oval pieces of cloth. He took one of the pieces and fixed it at the elbow with thick stitches, pushing the edge of the cloth inward while sewing it, so that the patch would not come untied.

After sewing, another serrated edge is locked along the edge to make the patch stronger and more beautiful. Then the previous thick stitches are removed.

Then he handed it to Aunt Zhao, "Mom, do you understand?"

"Oh, oh, oh," Aunt Zhao nodded repeatedly, "After all, my daughter is smart! Mr. Zhou knows that he cares about his reputation, so he shouldn't make it look good, right?"

Then he asked, "The other sleeve is fine, why do you want to patch it?"

"Look," Qin Ying gestured, "the two sides are different, so it's easy to tell it's a patch. If they were the same, someone who didn't know would think it was some new trick."

In order to make his work more convenient, Zhou Yu always wore a robe with narrow sleeves, which made it easy for people to see these parts.

Aunt Zhao's eyes lit up. "That's what I told you! My daughter is really smart!"

"Mom, please don't praise me like that!" Qin Ying smiled and shook her head. "This isn't my first idea. When I was a kid, I saw many military commanders. Most of their clothes had thicker elbows. They were more wear-resistant and could help reduce injuries."

An An was a little unhappy. Isn't the handsome uncle too bossy? Although sewing and mending are not considered hard work, if they keep their heads down and squinting for a long time, their mother and grandmother will get sore necks and painful eyes!

She looked through the existing functions, but alas, she was helpless!

In desperation, she had to ask her mother and grandmother to hold her so that they could rest for a while.

After dark, the visibility was poor and needlework could not be done, so the family sat together in the dark and rubbed the corn kernels.

On the other side, Zhou Yu suddenly sneezed loudly and couldn't help rubbing his nose.

Xu Xia smiled and asked, "Could it be that the old man is thinking about you?"

"The letter to my grandfather should have arrived, right?" Zhou Yu thought of his elderly grandfather, his heart full of concern.

Life is not easy for the elderly. They lost their wives when they were young, their daughters and their sons when they were middle-aged.

Xu Xia hurriedly said, "The Second Master and the Ninth Prince are taking care of him. The old man is doing well. You don't have to worry too much."

Zhou Yu's brows furrowed even more tightly. "Is my uncle helping the Ninth Prince manage his army?"

"Yes," Xu Xia replied, "The Second Master is now the person the Ninth Prince relies on the most."

Zhou Yu's brows were twisted into a knot, and his worry was evident.

Xu Xia observed his expression and said, "Don't worry too much. From what I've seen, the Ninth Prince is not like the late emperor."

Zhou Yu snorted and said indifferently, "Even though the late emperor has passed away, it's not for you and me to discuss privately."

"Yes, yes, yes," Xu Xia chuckled, "Isn't there anyone else? Young Master, please don't blame me for being nosy. It's not easy for the Ninth Prince either. He barely escaped death. Who else can he trust besides his own uncle?

"He trusts you deeply, otherwise he wouldn't have written to you so many times to invite you to get together."

"I don't have the ability to defend the country," Zhou Yu said indifferently, "A small Qin County has already made me anxious and worried, how can I help you!"

Xu Xia was silent for a moment, then said, "How should we accommodate the Second Young Master and Third Young Miss?"

"Don't worry," Zhou Yu glanced at him, "I've already written everything in the letter to my second uncle, asking them to go live with their maternal family. I can't even afford food here, how can I take care of them?"

Xu Xia breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead. "That's good, that's good."

Zhou Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, "Why? My sister isn't worthy of you?"

"No way!" Xu Xia waved his hands hurriedly, "It's just that I'm not worthy of the Third Miss! You know, the Third Miss is still undecided and does whatever she wants.

"In two years, when I grow up, I will feel that I am still young and absurd. What if I have to wear small shoes again...

"Are you helping your relatives or your superiors? Isn't this embarrassing for the eldest master?"

Zhou Yu burst out laughing.

After laughing, she sighed again: "Let Ding Qi and the others look in another direction. The eldest and second sisters are not stupid people. They will find a way to avoid risks."

Xu Xia quickly agreed.

Zhou Yu is the eldest grandson of the eldest house and was named the crown prince when he was one year old. The eldest and second sisters he mentioned are his two biological sisters, Zhou Qi and Zhou Mian, and the third lady who has been obsessed with Xu Xia is Zhou Wen, the legitimate daughter of the second house.

Zhou Qi and Zhou Mian were originally with Zhou Yu's father, Zhou Shuo, Marquis of Cheng'en. They were ambushed while fleeing. Zhou Shuo died to protect his daughters, and the two Miss Zhous soon disappeared.

Zhou Yu spent a lot of effort to send people to look for them, but there was no news for four years. Old Master Zhou often wrote to him to persuade him to give up, saying that the two girls might have died, but he never believed it.

Xu Xia said a few more words of comfort, then turned the topic back to the new clothes. "Master, Aunt Zhao's craftsmanship is truly remarkable. My new clothes fit me perfectly!"

Zhou Yu snorted softly.

Xu Xia rolled her eyes, came over, and said with a smile, "Don't you have two pieces of material that haven't been cut yet? In my opinion, why not ask Aunt Zhao to help you make some? It will be nice to wear during the New Year!"

"New Year, new beginnings! We must try to have a good start."

Zhou Yu lowered his eyes and said indifferently, "You know, I don't believe that."

"Hey, Master," Xu Xia said with a smile, "Speaking of this, I have something to say!

"You're talking about these outlandish things, and I can't help but believe them. Tell me, since we came to Qin County, have we tried everything we can think of?

"That still means not even a drop of water can be pumped out?

"How come we came to Tongshutun? Thanks to the Zhao family's good luck, we can get water?"

Zhou Yu's heart sank, and he deliberately said, "The first well is overturned, but the next two wells have nothing to do with them, right?"

"That's not the case," Xu Xia raised a finger and shook it, "If it weren't for other people's good luck, I'm afraid there wouldn't be these last two wells.

"Let's put that aside. Ever since we arrived, everything has been going great! I figure, either we're benefiting from someone else's influence, or this place is just advantageous to us!"

Zhou Yu snorted and laughed twice, "Just let your imagination run wild!"

"How can that be just wishful thinking?" Xu Xia widened his eyes slightly and said unconvincedly, "It clearly makes sense!"

Zhou Yu's heart moved slightly. If he asked An An, could he find the whereabouts of his two sisters? Even if there was only a clue, it would be good.

Thinking of this, he took Xu Xia to Zhao's house again the next day.

Aunt Zhao was folding up the mended clothes one by one. Seeing them coming, she hurriedly opened them again and said, "Master Zhou, can you take a look at them?"
