Farming and reading family

Gao E looked at Zheng Xiaoshun's useless appearance and wondered why he was so generous when he brought the person back and didn't let him be sent to the government.

"What's wrong again?" Gao E looked at Zheng Xiaoshun speechlessly.

"Just..." Zheng Xiaoshun didn't know what to say.

Actually, there is nothing wrong with taking care of the sparrow for a few days.

But Que'er can't just watch him do everything, right?

He is a man.

Moreover, when he brought Que'er home, his uncle came to see him twice, saying that he was not to the point of picking up a fool as his wife, and no matter how he explained, it was useless.

"Sparrow." Gao E called out.

Que'er immediately ran to Gao'e's side affectionately, as if afraid of being abandoned.

Zheng Xiaoshun breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, second sister-in-law."

"What have you been busy with recently?" Gao E rarely saw Zheng Xiaoshun recently.

"I cleaned up the house and made doors, windows, and furniture." Zheng Xiaoshun's house is now in good shape. "I rented the land to the villagers to grow crops. I calculated that it's enough for me to eat."

He had no intention of farming.

I had earned one thousand taels from my second sister-in-law before, and there was still some left after these expenses, so I definitely had no worries about food and clothing in the village.

But he didn't want to stay in the village, and always felt that if he had the chance, he should do something big.

Gao E saw that Zheng Xiaoshun had nothing to worry about. "If you have nothing to do recently, come with me and be a manager. I'm a little too busy over there."

Zheng Xiaoshun was a little surprised: "Isn't it usually done by Third Brother?"

"Your third brother has other things to do now." Gao E planned to let Chen Jie entertain Fan Shiping.

"Okay." Zheng Xiaoshun agreed readily.

Gao E took Que'er home, and finally she had time to calm down and analyze Fan Shiping's words.

People like them really can't get involved in matters at that level, but a glance from them can definitely decide life or death.

According to Chen Ke's attitude, if Xu Boyan's plan succeeded, it would be very likely that Prince Qing would take the throne.

But what happens after Prince Qing comes to power?

Chen Ke was so afraid of Xu Boyan at the beginning, it must be that Xu Boyan did something that made Chen Ke feel afraid.

It seems that I have to find a way to test what will happen after Prince Qing comes to power.

At dusk, the third brother and his family came back and greeted the villagers happily. It seemed that business was good.

Gao E heard the voice and stood at the door to greet Chen Jie: "Third brother, come here, I want to discuss something with you."

"Hey." Chen Jie responded and wanted to move the things home before going over.

"Second sister-in-law is calling you, hurry over." Lei urged.

Chen Jie smiled and went to his second brother's house: "What's the matter, second sister-in-law?"

"Mr. Fan, who bought the crickets from your second brother, is coming to He County for a few days. You should entertain him." Gao E said directly.

Chen Jie was surprised: "What does Mr. Fan want to buy this time?"

"Stones from Ghost Crying Mountain." Gao E didn't hide it. "They say rich people like them."

"People like stones?" Chen Jie was surprised. "Then we have so many stones here, won't we make a fortune?"

"Ghost Crying Mountain has strange rocks." Gao E looked at Chen Jie's money-obsessed look and said, "Ghost Crying Mountain is my property now. When Master Fan asks you, don't say too much."

Chen Jie was shocked. His second sister-in-law was really capable and could handle any business. "Okay."

"I'll take you there tomorrow to introduce you." Gao E confirmed, "Is it okay if you don't go to the snack bar?"

She wasn't targeting Fan Shiping, but it wasn't appropriate for her to just stand there when he came to He County.

"It's okay, my wife told me to go to the kiln." Chen Jie said with a smile.

"Okay, go back and prepare." Gao E instructed.

"Okay." Chen Jie trotted home.

Through the crack in the door, Yang saw the third son go to the second son's house and then run back happily. She thought there must be something good happening. She immediately felt a little unhappy, thinking that the second son's family was thinking about the third son's family if there was any good thing happening.

Chen Ke came back after dinner, firstly to see if he needed to watch over the kids at home that night, and secondly because they were getting ready to leave.

"Mr. Du and the others have calculated that the gathering will take place this fall at the earliest, and next spring at the latest." Chen Ke, organizing this kind of gathering for the first time, was unsure. "Do we have enough money?"

"Don't worry about the silver, sir. We can collect some in the summer and autumn." Gao E comforted him. "It's just that you'll be away for such a long time. I'm a little worried."

"Don't worry, my lady. We will take the official road and stay in the official inn. We are all scholars and no one will make things difficult for us." Chen Ke comforted.

Although Du Weiqing and Hong Sheng had no intention of becoming officials, they both had the status of scholars. However, they were already very famous, so no one cared about their status as scholars.

"Then I feel much more at ease." Gao E nodded, then said, "I don't know if it's peaceful outside right now."

"It's still peaceful now." Chen Ke said subconsciously.

Gao E looked at Chen Ke in confusion: "My husband, do you mean that it was not peaceful before or it will not be peaceful in the future?"

Chen Ke knew that he had let the cat out of the bag, but he didn't really care. If he wasn't afraid that his wife wouldn't be able to accept it, he would have told her about his rebirth.

He sighed slightly and whispered, "The emperor of our dynasty has always wanted to recapture the land of Shuoxi. Once the opportunity arises, he might send troops. Then the people will suffer."

Gao E suddenly realized that it seemed that things would not be peaceful in the future.

Thinking about Fan Shiping's words again, although Prince Qing is the eldest son of the emperor, he is not born of a legitimate wife. If such a person succeeds to the throne, he will certainly try his best to prove himself.

The best way to prove yourself is to do what other emperors have not done.

Gao E also sighed: "Fortunately, our place is far away from the emperor, so there won't be too much unrest."

Chen Ke hesitated to speak.

Gao E didn't say anything more. After seeing Chen Ke off, she sat in the yard and looked at the dark night sky.

A crescent moon hangs in the night sky, and there are countless stars, but the night is not as bright as the day.

Her understanding of the three princes came from Fan Shiping's fragmentary words. It was difficult to make a conclusion, but she felt that none of the three seemed to be the best choice.

But this is the reality and the norm.

The next day, Gao E took Chen Jie to meet Fan Shiping. They had met before, so Gao E didn't need to introduce them further. Chen Jie would host them for the next few days.

After doing all this, Gao E took Lian Xin to find a place and put a wooden board with the words "Recruiting a teacher" written on it.

This matter has been delayed for a few days because of the Li family's affairs, and now it can't be delayed any longer.

Soon they were surrounded by people. They had seen many people recruiting permanent workers, temporary workers, and craftsmen, but this was the first time they had seen someone recruiting a worker on the roadside.

In the eyes of ordinary people, teachers are high and mighty, and they have to go to their homes to invite them. Hiring them on the street is simply an insult to the teacher.

Gao E listened to those people talking and didn't care.

The reason why she recruited teachers in this way was that she wanted to recruit real teachers, rather than people who acted superior just because they knew a little bit of literature. After all, the school in their village was different from others.

Amidst the discussions and laughter, Gao E scribbled a few words on the wooden board: Monthly salary of ten taels.

When they saw this number, they immediately shut up and looked at each other, hating themselves for not knowing how to read and write and missing out on such a good job.
