Farming and reading family

Moreover, when there is business in raw silk and pearls in the future, if it is appropriate, we can cooperate with Fan Shiping, which can save a lot of trouble.

These are all things that happened later. Who knows if there will be any changes?

When Hong Sheng came to Baotou Village to see Du Weiqing, he actually felt that he was so happy here that he didn't want to leave. The two of them drank and talked happily like young people full of high spirits. On the other hand, Chen Ke could only support them from the side. No matter what he was asked, he could only smile as an answer.

After this happened so many times, Chen Ke became very discouraged and even made excuses to go home and hide.

In fact, he wanted to be with them. In his previous life, he couldn't even see such people, but now that they were in his home, they were not as rare as in his previous life.

Gao E was chatting with three masters. When she saw Chen Ke coming back dejected, she apologized and went to find Chen Ke.

"What's wrong with my husband?" Gao E looked at Chen Ke's depressed look.

Chen Ke couldn't admit that he couldn't fit in with Du Weiqing and Hong Sheng's conversation: "It's okay, I'll come back... to see Xiaowu."

Gao E didn't believe it: "Is there something wrong with the school?"

Chen Ke hesitated again and again: "Madam, am I really that poor in talent?"

When Gao E heard Chen Ke say this, she knew he was hurt by being with Du Weiqing and the others: "My husband is the only scholar in our village."

Chen Ke felt ashamed when he heard such words, but he couldn't say to Gao E: "Our village..."

"I don't know the difference between a good student and a bad student, but if my husband thinks I'm bad, it means there's still a lot of room for improvement." Gao E said seriously.

Chen Ke felt a little better when he saw that Gao E was serious and did not laugh at him.

"Talent and knowledge are one thing, being able to use them is another, and moral character is another..." Gao E said, looking confused. "In the end, it all comes down to whether you can live according to your own wishes."

Chen Ke thought about it and realized that he no longer had the idea of ​​pursuing a career in politics after his rebirth, but he didn't want to disappoint his family.

"My husband was always with Mr. Du before because Mr. Du was a guest. Now that Mr. Hong is here, it's a good time for my husband to take a break." Gao E wanted Chen Ke to be alone for a while.

Chen Ke thought for a moment and said, "Guests are welcome. I'd better go and keep them company. I can't let them feel neglected."

"Okay." Gao E nodded.

Chen Ke was not as depressed when he left the Chen family as when he returned.

"Second brother is out." Lei greeted her second brother at the door and went in.

Gao E saw Lei coming in with Qiu Yi in her arms: "It's so cold, why don't you wrap her up tightly?"

"Very tough." Lei said indifferently.

When Lei came over, Gao E chatted with her in the main room.

"My eldest sister-in-law is trying to get Hanyue married off," Lei suddenly said. "She wants to marry her off in He County and has already met with several matchmakers."

Gao E, who rarely went out, really didn't know about this: "I haven't heard Han Yue say anything either."

Chen Hanyue came to her house for a visit when she had nothing to do, but she never mentioned this matter.

"That girl is so heartless. Every day she pushes our mother out into the sun and goes to school to attend classes." Lei wondered when Chen Hanyue became so studious.

"Are you sure she is going to attend the class?" Gao E said, thinking that she should be attending the class, it just depends on whose class she is attending.

"Yes." Lei was very sure. "Not to mention Hanyue, the third child has also started reading recently. He reads the books that the second sister-in-law bought for him by light of the lamp."

Gao E smiled when she heard what Lei said: "Reading is a good thing after all."

"Should I read some books too? What if he reads too much and feels that I am not worthy of him?" Lei was worried.

"Then he has read too much into the book." Gao E said with a smile.

Lei also laughed.

The school was closed that day, so Du Weiqing and Hong Sheng asked Chen Ke to bring them to see Gao E.

"What do you two gentlemen need?" Gao E asked politely.

Du Weiqing and Hong Sheng looked at each other without saying anything. They had already checked the accounts. This Gao family was not simple, and Chen Ke was probably still kept in the dark.

"Hong Sheng knows about your papermaking business and wants to talk to you." Du Weiqing said directly.

Gao E led them into the main hall and sat them down around the charcoal brazier. "Didn't the master say that the paper was too rough to be used for writing?"

"Although it can't be used for writing, it's still paper after all. Brother Hong has read a lot of books and has his own ways to improve it. As long as he tries it over and over again, making good paper won't be a problem," Du Weiqing analyzed.

Hong Sheng nodded. "Ordinary people would be overwhelmed by paper and ink when studying. If paper could really be made, at least the students in the school could save a lot of money."

"That's great." Gao E was pleasantly surprised. "But the papermaking cycle is long. We also need to build a paper mill, and we have to make repeated attempts. Mr. Hong may have to stay in our village for a long time. So, Mr. Hong's study tour..."

"That's fine." Hong Sheng waved his hand nonchalantly. "As long as I can learn something, I can learn anywhere."

"That's good." Gao E nodded, "It's just that it's so cold today, the paper mill can't be built in a short time."

"That's no problem. Brother Du and I are going back to Qinzhou City to celebrate the New Year. Let's bring my books over and study them in detail after the New Year." Hong Sheng suggested.

"It just so happens that I have a lot of books at home, so let's bring them over here," Du Weiqing suggested.

Gao E thought the two might be planning to put down roots here: "That would be great. What the children in the village lack most is books. There's no place to copy them."

The two sides had a very pleasant conversation and the matter was finalized. Chen Ke was no longer as lonely as before. No matter what, this place was his.

At this time, someone knocked on the door. He ran over to open the door and saw Chen Xiangyue and his son standing outside.

"Master Chen." Gao E came out to greet him and saw that Chen Xiangyue had brought a lot of things.

"Mrs. Chen hasn't given any news about my son, so I had no choice but to come and bother her." Chen Xiangyue apologized.

"I'm so sorry." Gao E led them to the main hall. "There are too many things going on at home. I just came back from Qinzhou City a few days ago. I have already discussed this with Mr. Du."

When Chen Xiangyue arrived at the main hall and saw Du Weiqing sitting there, he hurriedly asked his son to pay his respects, but Chen Tao completely ignored him.

"Master Chen, please sit down." Gao E added a bamboo chair for Chen Xiangyue.

"Where's mine?" Chen Tao looked away and saw that his chair was missing.

"You stand there." Gao E said unhappily.

Chen Tao glared at Gao E. This woman was definitely targeting him.

"Look at the seniority here, do you have the right to sit here?" Gao E saw Chen Tao's unconvinced look.

Seeing Gao E like this, Chen Xiangyue wanted to stand up and smooth things over.

"Master Chen, please sit down." Gao E's face was full of smiles again. "Mr. Du and I have already discussed it. As long as I can teach your son to respect his teachers, he will accept your son."

Chen Xiangyue stood for a while and then slowly sat down: "My son's temper..."

"It's just a habit." Gao E said directly.

Chen Xiangyue nodded speechlessly.

"Changing your personality will definitely bring some suffering, so it depends on what Mr. Chen thinks. If you can make up your mind, you can keep the person today. If you feel it is inappropriate, there is nothing I can do." Gao E apologized.
