Farming and reading family

She knew that Chen Ke was afraid of Xu Boyan, but this kind of thing should be done by Chen Ke.

He can do better. If he can't shirk it, he can do it naturally. No matter what anyone says, Chen Ke will back him up.

Chen Ke was slightly flustered when he heard Gao E say this: "Well... I have to be busy entertaining the guests with Mr. Du and the others, so I have to trouble you to go there."

"When my husband was not at home, something happened to the property in my dowry. I have troubled Lord Xu many times. Now that my husband is back, I have to trouble Lord Xu again. I am afraid that others will gossip about me." Gao E was worried.

Chen Ke was stunned and asked worriedly, "What happened to my wife's property? Has it been resolved?"

"It's almost been resolved." Gao E didn't elaborate. "The rest can only wait."

Chen Ke was relieved when he heard his wife say this: "It's okay, Lord Xu is the magistrate of He County, no one will dare to say anything."

"Then I'll listen to you, my husband." Gao E nodded. "There's one more thing I want to ask you about."

"Ma'am, please tell me."

"If this gathering is a success, we will have to discuss the matter of building an academy. My husband, have you discussed with Mr. Du and others who will be the principal?" Gao E wanted to discuss it with Chen Ke first.

Chen Ke never thought that one day their Chen family would have an academy.

If an academy produced a few high-ranking scholars or celebrities, it would have a very high reputation in the local area, and local officials would come to visit.

Gao E suddenly asked him this and he was a little at a loss.

Gao E knew that Chen Ke would be like this, so she asked him alone first to prevent him from being unable to speak clearly.

"In fact, no matter who becomes the principal, Qingtan Academy is the property of our Chen family." Gao E reminded.

To be precise, it is Gao E's industry.

"This matter... I haven't thought about it yet." Chen Ke didn't dare to think about it at all before.

"Then take your time to think about it, my dear." Gao E didn't rush her. "It will take several years to build the academy anyway."

Chen Ke nodded.

"But my husband, you don't have to think too much. The academy is just a larger school." Gao E comforted him, "Besides, it was built by our Chen family."

In fact, Chen Ke didn’t feel that he built it himself.

Since he was reborn, he had hoped that his family could survive the flood and live a better life. He never thought that it would be so good that they could even build an academy.

"Okay." Chen Ke nodded in agreement.

"Then please go over quickly, my husband. Only Mr. Du and his friends are here today, so you can discuss it first." Gao E suggested.

Chen Ke nodded.

Over there, Du Weiqing and Hong Sheng returned to the academy together. Du Weiqing kept sighing and laughing, over and over again.

"What's wrong with you?" Hong Sheng couldn't help but ask directly.

"Ah, although I trust Gao, I was unsure when I went out to invite people. A good cook cannot cook without rice. Gao has never seen an elegant gathering, let alone the cost of one. I didn't expect her to do so well." Du Weiqing couldn't help but praise.

Hong Sheng nodded. "I'm even less sure than you are. Today, I saw the layout of Qingtan Gorge, the flowing water in the gorge, and the natural artistic conception. It's hard to imagine that this is the first time the Gao family is planning an elegant gathering."

"That's not all." Du Weiqing sighed, "And those servants, they could be first-class servants in a wealthy family. They're really well-educated."

Hong Sheng nodded: "So, even if we face the Danyang Society at this gathering, we must win spectacularly."

Hearing Hong Sheng say this, Du Weiqing was a little uncertain: "How do you think the cheating happened this time?"

Hong Sheng shook his head: "Absolutely impossible."

Du Weiqing didn't think so. Gao E never boasted.

Chen Ke hesitated for a moment after leaving the house. He was so busy since he came back this time that he hadn't been to his eldest brother's house yet. He wondered if it would be too presumptuous to go there at this time.

As he was thinking this, his elder brother suddenly stood up from the doorpost, which scared Chen Ke.

"Brother, why are you here?" Chen Ke walked over quickly.

It was dark, and he didn't even notice his elder brother sitting there.

"Nothing, just sitting here to cool down." Chen Qing said with a smile.

He was just waiting for Chen Ke, but Chen Ke was with a group of people, so he didn't want to go over and say hello. Now that Chen Ke was alone, he stood up and greeted him.

Chen Ke knew his elder brother was lying: "I'm really too busy. I don't have time to visit my parents, elder brother, and elder sister-in-law."

"I know." Chen Qing nodded. "You are doing something big. Our Chen family has never done anything big like this."

Chen Qing knew that they were going to hold an elegant gathering and that the people who would come were all very powerful people.

He didn't know why the second brother did this, and he didn't discuss it with them before doing it, but it was very impressive to be able to invite so many people.

Chen Ke didn't know how to tell his elder brother. In fact, he was quite confused about this and didn't know how it happened.

"Don't worry about Mom and Dad. I told Dad that the people coming this time are all important people, and you can't get away." Chen Qing comforted him, "Dad can understand. If you want to be an official in the future, you need the help of important people."

Chen Ke got a little nervous when he heard about the exam: "Thank you, big brother."

"What you said is true. If it weren't for your wife, your sister-in-law would have lost her life this time." Chen Qing sighed.

After Yang became paralyzed, her temper calmed down a lot except that she hated the youngest son.

"What's wrong with sister-in-law?" Chen Ke still didn't know what was going on.

The two brothers did not go into the yard, but sat on the steps at the door and talked about this.

It would be a lie to say that Chen Qing didn't feel sad. His two younger brothers were better than him now, and he was happy for them.

Fortunately, his two younger brothers are quite respectful to him as the eldest brother, so it is impossible for him to do anything else.

Chen Ke didn't expect that so many things happened at home during the time he was away, but Gao E didn't complain at all.

"You and the third brother are getting better and better. I'm happy for you, but don't get too carried away." Chen Qing reminded.

"No." Chen Ke said hurriedly.

After his rebirth, he deeply realized the difficulties of life. Even if others would become complacent, he would never become complacent.

"That's good." Chen Qing nodded. "Rest early. There are so many things to do in a day, I really can't handle it. Don't forget your big brother."

"Okay." Chen Ke nodded.

It was late at night, and Chen Ke was walking alone on the way to school. He felt like a stone sinking into the deep sea. It was obviously very heavy, but it felt light as it sank.

Thinking back, I realized how I have come to this point without realizing it, and have done things that I would never have dared to imagine in my previous life.

But no matter what, he dared not take it lightly. Even with the memories of his past life, he was still cautious and worried that he would lose everything he had if he was not careful.

When he arrived at the academy, Du Weiqing and Hong Sheng had already packed up and were ready for bed. He thought for a moment and didn't discuss the matter of the academy's principal with them.

The next day, Gao E had not yet gone to find Xu Boyan, but Xu Boyan came to Baotou Village, but not to find her, but to find Chen Ke and others.

"Invite us to Yueyuan for a banquet?" Du Weiqing looked at Xu Boyan in surprise.
