Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man

After settling An An down, Qin Ying asked Zhao Hu to go next door to borrow paper and pen to write down her suggestions for revision.

Not long after, Zhao Hu returned with a large roll of paper, an inkstone, two ink sticks, and two new brushes. He said, "This is what Lord Zhou asked me to bring. He said he wanted to give it to you. If you refuse again, he will have to come and deliver it himself."

Qin Ying had no choice but to accept it.

Fortunately, the four treasures of the study sent were not expensive items.

She started writing first, then added water to the inkstone and ground the ink. Aunt Zhao and Zhao Hu gathered around to watch in amazement. Zhao Hu even asked, "Sister, what are you doing?"

Qin Ying explained with a smile: "It's better not to open the pen, otherwise it will be difficult to use in the future. There are also some tricks to grinding ink. If there is too much water, you have to spend more time grinding the ink. Otherwise, the ink will be too thin and will spread easily, making it difficult for the writing to dry.

“If there is too little water, the ink will become thick and the written words will easily become a blob of ink.

"So when adding water, add it slowly, little by little. When grinding, be gentle and use slow circular motions..."

Zhao Hu couldn't help but sigh, "Even grinding ink has so many details?" He showed an eager expression, "Sister, can I give it a try?"

Aunt Zhao immediately slapped him on the hand, "Stop messing around! Your sister is writing for Master Zhou! This is serious business! If you want to try, wait until you learn to write!"

Zhao Hu then obediently withdrew his hand.

Qin Ying ground the ink, spread out the paper, and carefully wrote down her revision suggestions. After the ink dried, she asked Zhao Hu to give it to Zhou Yu.

Zhao Hu wanted to fold the paper, but Qin Ying stopped him, saying, "Just hold it like this. If anyone asks, read it to them."

"Huh?" Zhao Hu was confused. "I was planning to pass it over the wall!"

"You silly boy!" Aunt Zhao slapped him on the back of the head again, but finally reduced her strength. "Do you think Mr. Zhou's side is just an ordinary neighbor?"

Qin Ying raised her eyebrows and gestured outside: "There are so many eyes staring at us in the village! If they want to see, we should let them see openly!"

Zhao Hu was anxious: "They can't read! What can they believe me?"

"That's easy," Qin Ying raised the corner of her lips, but without a trace of smile, "Read it quietly to them first, and then ask Mr. Zhang or Brother Xu to come out and help read it again."

Zhao Hu's eyes suddenly lit up, "Okay! I understand!" He strode out holding the paper.

As Qin Ying expected, there were several villagers hanging around outside the Zhao family's courtyard. When they saw Zhao Hu coming out, they immediately rushed over, their eyes fixed on the paper in his hand, and asked him what was written on it.

Zhao Hu's face turned slightly cold. He glared at him a few times before clearing his throat. "Want to know? I'll read it to you..."

When he finished reading, the villagers' eyes were full of doubts: "Hu Zi, when did you learn so many words?"

"That's right, even if I learn calligraphy from Yingzi in the winter, I can't recite this whole article, right?"

Zhao Hu snorted, "Why are you judging people through the crack in the door? You're too stupid to learn, so you assume everyone else is the same as you?

"I learned to read with my sister at home, and I went out to learn to recognize characters with Brother Xu. Even if I don't know how to write all these characters, what's so difficult about reading them?

"If you don't believe me, I'll call Brother Xu out to read it to you! You're all watching here, so we won't have a chance to string the words together!"

Several villagers looked a little embarrassed. Seeing him so confident, they knew that what he read was true, but they really couldn't believe that he could recognize so many words.

One of them said, "It's not that we don't believe you, we're just curious!"

Zhao Hu shouted at Xu Xia without hesitation. Xu Xia didn't understand what was going on and asked, "What's going on? Why are there so many people?"

Zhao Hu carefully handed the paper in his hand to Xu Xia with both hands: "Brother Xu, please read it for me."

Xu Xia was also a little confused, then he looked down, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips, he cleared his throat, and read aloud.

The villagers looked at each other and saw a bit of panic in each other's eyes. They both said the same thing.

Zhao Hu, with sharp eyes, raised his hand and pointed to the west: "Isn't that Mr. Zhang?"

Zhang Jinzhi had just returned from the fields, carrying a hoe on his shoulder.

Xu Xia fell silent. Although he didn't understand what was going on, he still said, "Yes, Mr. Zhang is addicted to farming. He goes to the fields whenever he has free time."

As he spoke, Zhang Jinzhi had already arrived and asked curiously, "Why are you all standing at the door? Do you have anything to ask Lord Zhou?"

"No, no!" Several villagers showed awkward smiles on their faces.

Zhao Hu took the paper from Xu Xia and handed it to Mr. Zhang with both hands: "Sir, please read it to me."

"You know a lot of characters, don't you? Is there any one you don't know?" Mr. Zhang said as he took it. When he looked down at it, he couldn't help but smile. "So it was written by your sister?"

Zhao Hu repeated, "Please read it to me, sir."

Zhang Jinzhi glanced at the faces of several villagers and understood the general idea. He then read it out again, and it was exactly the same as what Zhao Hu and Xu Xia had read out.

Zhao Hu said with a serious face: "Did you all hear clearly?"

The villagers moved back and began to think of retreating.

"Don't go!" Zhao Hu shouted, "You guys have been idle all day, right? You can't make a living if you don't keep an eye on my Zhao family?

"What's the matter? You saw my sister being called over by Lord Zhou and having a few words with him, and then she started chewing maggots again behind my back?

"All you do all day is gossip about other people's affairs, and do you think others are just like you?

"My sister was always thinking about how to help the villagers live a good life. Now that I think about it, I feel so sorry for her!

"Honestly, if my sister is willing to sell her idea to Mr. Zhou, wouldn't it be better for Mr. Zhou to go somewhere else to try it out?

"Why did you choose Tongshutun? Isn't it because my sister is thinking of the friendship of the fellow villagers?

"How ridiculous! Others are feeding you and putting money in your pockets, and you're still pointing fingers at them and cursing them!

"Time and again, the toad jumps on my feet. It's so disgusting!"

One villager, relying on his age, couldn't help but frown and scolded: "Hu Zi, how can you talk like that?"

"How do you talk?" Zhao Hu straightened his back. "Talk while standing up! Talk openly in the bright sunshine!

"Speaking from a rational perspective! What? You dare to do it but you don't dare let people say it?"

"What are you fussing about?!" Uncle Chen Jiu came over at the speed of light and wanted to swing his crutch when he got close.

A few villagers shrank back in fear, then laughed and said, "No big deal, we'll just go away!"

"Don't go!" Zhao Hu jumped over to block their way. "Talk clearly before you go!"

Amidst the clamor, Zhou Yu also arrived at the door with a slightly frown on his face.

Uncle Chen Jiu pulled Zhao Hu aside and asked him again. The veins on his forehead throbbed. He turned around and stared at those people fiercely, shouting, "Come here!"
