Farming and reading family

Du Weiqing could understand if a large family wanted to build a college, as it could help cultivate the younger generation in the family, make them influential in the literary world, and stabilize the family.

Du Weiqing could understand that if a world-renowned scholar wanted to build a college, with his reputation, students from all over the world would surely flock to him.

It would be even more understandable if the government built an academy, as recruiting talents for the court was what they were supposed to do.

But he found it a little hard to understand why a village woman who was not living a good life wanted to build a college.

"My husband works very hard to study. If there is a college, people who want to study can study there." Gao E said calmly.

She had indeed thought so.

But in this era, if there is a college, it means that the Chen family has a strong backing. When the Chen family becomes rich in the future, others will not be able to touch the Chen family easily.

Du Weiqing found it a little unbelievable. It seemed that this woman really knew nothing.

"Since I've promised you, I will build it, but I have to choose the location. At least I'll build a private school first and then expand it slowly. An academy is not that simple." Du Weiqing didn't explain much to him.

"Okay." Gao E said she would leave the matter to Du Weiqing.

After finishing this work, the bricks and tiles ordered by Hua Jianxing were also burned. Just when the people of Baotou Village were excited about the delivery, they found out that Hua Jianxing was a liar and had already run away.

"What should I do?" Chen Jie paced back and forth in the yard angrily.

Chen Ke breathed a sigh of relief. At least he didn't have to worry about paying compensation for overdue payments.

Chen Qing was silent for a long time and then looked up: "Second brother and sister-in-law, bring the order over and take a closer look. Anyway, we still have these bricks and tiles, and we need them ourselves."

Gao E immediately went to get the order and gave it to her elder brother.

Chen Qing took a careful look and found that the delivery time was indeed written on it, but if the balance was not paid within three months, the order would be invalidated and the deposit would not be refunded.

So we have to wait three months?

"Forget it." Chen Qing quickly let go. "After three months, the bricks and the deposit will all be ours."

"We burned that day and night." Chen Jie was still angry.

During this period, not only him, but also several people in the village lost weight just because they were in a hurry to burn these bricks and tiles. As a result, the person who placed the order ran away. Who wouldn't be angry if this happened?

"Big brother is right." Gao E comforted Chen Jie. "Although it's been hard during this period, it's not a big loss. I'll ask Peng Can to buy two pigs to improve everyone's situation."

"The money is from my family, so don't touch the deposit yet." Chen Qing reminded, "In case that person comes back within three months, you can have an explanation."

"He will be back within three months. We will only give him bricks and tiles. How can we possibly give him money?" Gao E was sure that Hua Jianxing would not come back.

"Yes!" Chen Jie nodded.

Not only did he only give Hua Jianxing bricks and tiles, he even wanted to learn a lesson from him.

Chen Qing thought about it and had to give up. Even if there was no loss, he was still cheated.

The people in the village were also helpless when they heard the result. It was indeed hard work day and night during this period, but fortunately it was not a big deal for them as farmers to contribute a little effort.

Zheng Fengan also figured out the key to this. He guessed that the man surnamed Hua wanted to cheat the Chen family, but he ran away after an accident.

"Dad, that man gave the Chen family a deposit of one thousand taels." Zheng Yicheng whispered to his father.

"Let's just leave it at that." Zheng Fengan gave his son a warning glare. "If the Chen family hadn't been lucky this time, the brick kiln would have been ruined."

Zheng Yicheng thought of the families that were taken away and thought that what his father said might be true.

He Tangchun was in a state of panic, but Tao Meiyu was in a good mood.

The two beautiful concubines at home wanted to act up and show how considerate they were, but they ended up running into trouble and were sent back to their hometown by He Tangchun.

At this time, Gao E asked someone to tell the yamen where the men in black were being held, but she was too lazy to send them there herself.

Yu Zhao and his men were quite honest, they just locked the person up.

But they were imprisoned in such darkness and were not asked any questions. The men in black lost their minds and when they saw the government officials, they acted like they had found their saviors and answered everything they were asked.

Only then did He Tangchun realize that before Hua Jianxing appeared in He County, he had arranged for these people to lurk in He County, and then made secret moves, but ended up being caught off guard when he was trying to trick Gao E.

You Lian'er also explained that she was bought by Hua Jianxing, and Hua Jianxing did not let her know everything. Gui Heng was the only one around him who was his own.

Those outsiders were stunned when they heard the result.

However, the local gentry who were cheated were even more angry, but the anger of some people was no longer meaningful because they had already lost everything.

He Tangchun angrily wrote a letter to his friend to tell him what Hua Jianxing had done and to ask him to be more vigilant.

Gao E was in no mood to deal with He Tangchun's troubles and began to prepare to go to Qinzhou City.

She wondered if Luo Dagang had an accident on the road, as he hadn't come back for so long.

But then I thought about it and it seemed impossible. Luo Dagang was not only an excellent martial artist, but also had a lot of experience in the martial arts world. He would be able to escape unscathed no matter what happened.

There must be something urgent.

So this time we can only take Lu Qingluo and Yu Zhao with us. Yu Zhao is originally from Qinzhou City, so it will be more convenient for him to do anything.

When the time comes, I will go find Mo Xun and ask him to help find Que'er's family. It's not a good thing for Que'er to stay with her all the time. Her family will probably go crazy looking for her.

Just when everything was ready, there was a knock on the Chen family's door in the middle of the night.

It was Chen Qing who went to open the door, and was a little surprised to see Mo Xun standing outside.

Mo Xun and Yan Congfang had been to their house before, and Chen Qing had a very good and deep impression of him.

"Mr. Mo, is there anything urgent?" Chen Qing didn't dare let Mo Xun into the yard for a while.

After all, it felt a bit weird that he suddenly visited so late at night.

"Is Jin ready to rest?" Mo Xun tried to be polite despite being presumptuous.

After all, coming to see a woman in the middle of the night is very presumptuous no matter how you look at it.

Chen Qing was suspicious: "Jin is no longer in my house, and I don't know where she lives now."

Mo Xun was troubled because Jin Ruyi didn't tell him last time that she was no longer at the Chen family.

But she went to Qinzhou City with Gao, and Gao must know it.

"Is Madam Chen here?" Mo Xun's tone was even a little humble.

"What on earth is going on that brings Mr. Mo to my house in the middle of the night?" Chen Qing became alert.

Seeing Chen Qing's vigilance, Mo Xun smiled as kindly as possible. "It's like this. Madam Chen asked me through the Jin family to help her find someone, and now she's found him."

Chen Qing was skeptical, but he still let Mo Xun into the yard first.

Gao E got up when she heard the noise, but she didn't expect that it was Mo Xun who came to find her. When did she ask Mo Xun to help find someone?

But Mo Xun was a trustworthy person, so he might have some unspeakable secrets and admitted that he had asked Mr. Mo to find someone before.
