Farming and reading family

Since he came as a yamen runner, Chen Ke has only said one sentence when Huo Ji asked him.

At other times, when others were indignant for him, he would look embarrassed and not complain.

"Husband, since he wants to know so much, just show him, so that he can lose completely." Gao E said.

Everyone wanted to mock Lu Yong by using provocation, but after hearing what Madam Chen said, it made sense, as it prevented Lu Yong from thinking he could struggle a bit.

Chen Ke hesitated for a moment when he heard Gao E say this, then said, "I want to prepare chicken and rice, and invite my friends to my farm. Green trees cluster around the village, and green mountains slope down outside the city walls. I'll open the window facing the fields, drink wine, and talk about mulberry and hemp. On the Double Ninth Festival, I'll come back to enjoy the chrysanthemums."

"Excellent!" Huo Ji was the first to exclaim, "This poem is the perfect ending to this gathering."

Everyone nodded.

"Impossible." Lu Yong was a little overwhelmed. How could Chen Ke possibly write such amazing poems in succession? "Huo Ji, you are also a scholar. Do you think you can write poems like this in succession?"

"Just because I can't does not mean others can't." Huo Ji also said directly.

Lu Yong's expression became even uglier.

"Okay, Mr. Chen has finished the poem, it's time to go." Xu Boyan gestured.

Two yamen runners escorted Lu Yong away, and Lu Yong staggered a little.

Xu Boyan glanced at Gao E and left. This gathering really surprised him.

"Everyone, everyone, everyone." Du Weiqing saw that everyone was discussing heatedly and raised his voice to signal everyone to be quiet.

Everyone slowly and quietly looked at Du Weiqing.

Du Weiqing looked around at everyone and said happily, "Mr. Chen, Mr. Hong and I plan to build a Qingtan Academy here and hold an annual gathering."

Everyone was shocked.

Building a college is not an easy task, and they don't think Du Weiqing and others have the ability to do so.

"Then when the academy is built, can I come to teach?" Liang Jiange asked excitedly.

"We'll see when the time comes." Du Weiqing did not refuse.

Gao E smiled and left when she heard Du Weiqing announce this. From that moment on, Qingtan Academy was no longer unknown, and her hard work in planning was worthwhile.

Now she has to deal with another matter.

Prince Bin was feeling very uneasy beside the eldest princess. Since he came back in the morning till now, he had tried to go out and send a message to Gao E several times, but was stopped by the imperial sister every time.

Not only him, but Ning Zhiyuan and Xue Hanyan were also trapped here.

The eldest princess never let go of the letter after receiving it. She was also sure that her daughter was still alive. If so, the prince must give her an explanation.

"Imperial sister, I really..." Prince Bin looked distressed.

"Hold it back." The eldest princess said sternly.

Prince Bin had no choice but to sit there anxiously, thinking that it would be best if Gao E had nothing to do with this matter.

As soon as Xu Boyan arrived at the county government office, he ordered Lu Yong and Zou Xi to be thrown into jail.

Bai Hao watched Lu Yong enter the cell and said, "Let me tell you, Tao Gaozhi lived in this cell before and died here."

Lu Yong glanced at Bai Hao and turned to sit down.

Bai Hao smiled, and at this moment he began to show some dignity.

"Sir, are those two people being locked up like this?" Bai Hao went to the back court to find his master.

"Lock him up first." Xu Boyan felt that the probability of convicting Lu Yong was a little small, and now he could only think about how to maximize the benefits.

"Sir, Mrs. Chen is here." Zhu Mo brought Gao E in.

Xu Boyan looked up: "What's the matter?"

"Help me determine the current location of Prince Wang." Gao E said directly.

Xu Boyan looked at Zhu Mo.

"In Yueyuan." Zhu Mo is in charge of this matter.

"What do you want to do?" Xu Boyan felt that it was related to the eldest princess' sudden departure today.

"Nothing." Gao E didn't explain. "Is Lord Xu satisfied with today's performance?"

"Why did you let the eldest princess leave?" Xu Boyan was puzzled.

"It depends on luck." Gao E was also frightened at the time.

"There's no such thing as luck. It's just about paying attention to everything and understanding everyone and everything." Xu Boyan has never believed in luck.

Gao E thought she could say, "Thank you, Master Xu. I'll take my leave."

Xu Boyan wanted to say that Gao E and the Tao family would be at war from now on, but seeing her calm look, he probably had already thought of it.

Knowing that Prince Bin was in Yueyuan, Gao'e quickly returned to Baotou Village. She knew that Prince Bin would not be able to hold on for long, and the real problem today would be when he faced the eldest princess head-on.

Back at Batou Village, Que'er was playing with Xiaowu and the others in the yard. Zheng Xiaoshun heard about the grand gathering and sighed that he had missed it.

Gao E looked at Que'er's innocent look and thought that she must like it this way, otherwise she wouldn't have been deceived for so long.

"Sister-in-law, why didn't my second brother come back with you?" Zheng Xiaoshun asked curiously.

It is indeed late now. Chen Ke and the others had already returned at this time two days ago.

"The gathering is about to end today because they have a lot of things to do," Gao E said directly.

Zheng Xiaoshun thought about it and agreed.

At this time, Chen Jie and Lei came over together.

"Second brother hasn't come back?" Chen Jie thought that his second brother and second sister-in-law had come back together.

"Not yet." Gao E felt that everyone was beginning to be interested in Chen Ke. "Have you sold all your stuff?"

"They're all sold out long ago, even after noon." Lei came to Gao E's side with a smile and said, "Second sister-in-law, guess how much money we've made these past few days?"

Gao E looked at Lei's excitement and asked, "Six taels?"

Mrs. Lei thought her second sister-in-law was too conservative: "Almost nine taels. This is still not enough to prepare every day. If we can prepare more, we can earn more."

Gao E was surprised that the snacks, which usually cost a few cents each, could be sold for almost nine taels.

"This is just a small amount. A few people liked our chili oil and ordered a whole jar." Lei gestured, "I guess it will be more than ten taels later."

Gao E thought about Tang Mingde's idea. This was indeed a business opportunity. She suddenly thought of the hot pot base business. She might be able to make a lot of money from the annual gathering.

But butter was a problem. The imperial court did not allow the casual slaughter of cows, and she did not have that much butter.

Other oils are not easy to transport.

"This is a good thing." Gao E was happy for them. "We can buy the shop in He County later."

"I do want to buy it, but I don't know if the Wu family is willing to sell it. The shops in He County are raising prices every day now." Lei said embarrassedly.

"If you're not in a hurry, I'll ask for you later." Gao E took the initiative to bring up this matter.

The shop originally belonged to her. If she gave it directly to the Lei family, it would be a bit unreasonable for her eldest brother.

"Thank you so much, second sister-in-law." Mrs. Lei smiled happily.

Chen Jie sat aside and whispered, "I don't want to go on that job at the Chen family anymore."

"What's wrong?" Gao E thought something had happened.

"Well!" Lei said with a smile, "I didn't want him to go. I can't handle it alone now, and I have to deal with all those outsiders. So I want him to quit the Chen Tao family. These things are enough for my wife and I to be busy with."

"Did you see that we made a lot of money these days?" Gao E came to her senses.
