Chapter Forty-Six: Brewing a ......

When Xu Zhongli and Zheng Yan came out of the restaurant to say goodbye, at this time in Lu Rui's mansion, Lu Xidao, who had just come back from outside, heard the housekeeper say that his father asked him to go to the study, Lu Xidao's heart was obviously excited, and he hurriedly recalled whether he had done anything out of the ordinary in the past few days.

Nervously followed the housekeeper to his father's study, Lu Rui waved his hand, and when the housekeeper left, only their father and son were left in the study.

"Dad, are you looking for me?" Lu Xidao's tone was obviously a little weak.

Lu Rui, who was quite dignified just now, put on a kind smile at this time and said, "You haven't caused anything for your father outside these days, right?" ”

"No, the child hasn't been anywhere during this time, so he stays at home." Lu Xidao opened his eyes and said nonsense.

However, Lu Rui didn't pursue it, just nodded with a smile, and then said: "What happened to you and Xu Zhongli's son in the Jiaofang Division some time ago, don't investigate it for the time being, the splash Li San you said is just a scoundrel in the outer city, and it is not worth the unpleasantness of making trouble with the Xu family for him." ”

Lu Xidao frowned, he vaguely remembered that after meeting Xu Changting in Banlong Village and coming back, his father called him to the study and reprimanded him well, and angrily scolded him for not even being able to fight a stupid boy since childhood.

"Well, I know, anyway, I won't take the initiative to provoke him anymore, but if he dares to provoke me......." Lu Xidao sticks to his bottom line.

Without waiting to finish speaking, he heard Lu Rui snort: "If he takes the initiative to provoke you, then what are you polite to him?" ”

"Daddy...... But Xu Changting was ...... around. Lu Xidao looked overjoyed, and hurriedly said when he saw that there was still hope for revenge.

"I know this, and after some time, I have sent someone to find it. The young man beside Xu Changting is a master, no wonder you will suffer. Lu Rui sighed and said.

Then he walked behind the desk and turned around and sat down, then opened the drawer next to him, took out four ingots of brand-new silver with five taels each, placed them on the table, and said, "Do you remember the scholar who stood with Xu Changting when I went to Banlong Village last time?" ”

Lu Xidao's eyes were on the brand-new silver that was as white as snow, and after hearing Lu Rui's question, he nodded absentmindedly and said: "Remember, it seems to be called He Zhitian, a scholar, but he has always been depressed and has never met his Bole." ”

Lu Rui looked at Lu Xidao only staring at the silver, and wanted to reprimand a few words, but then gave up, took a deep breath, and said: "In a few days, the wheat harvest in Banlong Village should also be over, take the twenty taels of silver, go to Banlong Village in person tomorrow, and hand over the silver to He Chengtian, just say...... Let's just say that I gave him a reward for the people of Banlong Village and the imperial court. Remember, the rest of the words don't need to be said, understand? ”

"Dad, is this little thing worth my trip? Wouldn't it be okay to let Steward Luo send someone to go? Lu Xidao looked inexplicable, when was a depressed nerd able to personally ask him to visit, and he gave so much silver.

Lu Rui's face sank instantly, and after moving his lips, he said, "Steward Luo's portion is not enough, do you want your father to go there in person?" ”

Lu Xidao was stunned for a moment, looked at Lu Rui's serious face, and said after being stunned: "Oh, then I know, then I will go tomorrow and hand over the silver to him." ”

"Let's go early tomorrow morning, remember, after seeing He Chengtian, take away your arrogant temperament, lower your posture, and show more sincerity." Lu Rui admonished.

Lu Xidao nodded, walked to the desk, grabbed the four ingots of white silver, and played with it in his hand while walking out.

Seeing his son's indifferent appearance and not listening to his words, Lu Rui opened his mouth several times, but in the end he didn't call Lu Xidao back to tell him again.

It is indeed as Lu Xidao said, just a depressed scholar, full of knowledge can not find a place to realize his ideals, but he can only rely on a pair of hands to repair farm tools for farmers to survive, such a person, think about himself does not have to take it too seriously.

What's more, since he knew his identity, after the twenty taels of silver were handed over to him...... If he is smart, then he knows what it means.

You should also know what to say and what not to say after receiving your own twenty taels of silver.

If you are still smart, and you know how to be grateful, or if you come to your house to thank you...... Lu Rui thought to himself: Maybe at that time, I can give him a review and set a product for him.

At He Chengtian's house in Banlong Village, Xu Changting first sneezed several times in a row, and then asked with concern in Wu Jiangnan whether he was infected with wind chill or ate something wrong, and when he handed him a cup of hot water, Xu Changting stopped sneezing.

It's just that under the mulberry tree, He Chengtian, who was teaching several other big men to change the plow, seemed to be infected by Xu Changting, and suddenly sneezed several times in a row.

The wheat harvest in Banlong Village has also begun, and the brothers He Chengtian and He Chenghuan (stick mallet) have long since lost their private land, and as for the public land cultivated by others, it has long been eliminated because their family does not have too much labor.

Liu Da'an also had to help his parents harvest wheat, so although the plough in Banlong Village had been changed, like the plough in the homes of farmers in several surrounding villages, after tasting the sweetness of the new plough in Banlong Village, they all carried the plough to He Chengtian to change it.

Especially in some villages where the wheat harvest was earlier, it was the time to use the plough after the wheat harvest, so since Xu Changting came to Banlong Village in the past few days, He Chengtian has not stopped helping people change the plough.

Xu Changting didn't care how many people learned this simple thing, and He Chengtian didn't care, after all, this was Xu Changting's idea, and the master didn't care, what did he care about.

Therefore, at home, not only do I help other farmers change the plow, but also teach some skilled farmers who know how to change the plow.

The cup of water given by Wu Jiangnan soon left half a cup, put the cup on the windowsill, and watched the more than a dozen farmers in the yard busy under He Chengtian's supervision and reprimand, and Xu Gongzi, who had lost his freshness, took Wu Jiangnan to the foot of the mountain to find Huo Nuer.

Wu Jiangnan is obviously not very willing to coexist with so many people in the courtyard, not to mention that he has no common topic with them at all, so it is better to follow Xu Changting.

After Wu Jiangnan followed him to Banlong Village, he always felt that Xu Changting seemed to have become smarter than before, and he would always knock on her side from time to time to knock on some things about Miss.

Fortunately, Wu Jiangnan is not afraid of Xu Changting at all, nor is it as difficult as dealing with the three women of the Xu family, so Xu Changting has not come up with more useful information about "children and mothers" from Wu Jiangnan so far.

Walking out of He Chengtian's house, the streets and alleys of Banlong Village seem quite lively, there are many ears of wheat left on the road, and from time to time there will be children squatting down to pick them up one by one, and then bundled them into handfuls to take home.

Walking towards the foot of Shengfeng Mountain, Xu Changting said lightly: "Your young lady has sent a letter." ”

Wu Jiangnan also changed his brightly colored clothes on weekdays, and wore a relatively simple shirt and skirt that was not very noticeable, but because of his delicate appearance, walking in Banlong Village would still attract many people to secretly watch.

"Oh." Wu Jiang Nanxian's interest was not high.

"You don't want to know what your young lady said in the letter?" Xu Changting asked.

"I don't want to hear it, I'm afraid you'll lie to me." Wu Jiangnan pouted, and then said: "Miss Ming didn't mention it in the letter to you, you just said that you mentioned it, and then came to me to testify, hmph, I won't be fooled by you." ”

"Your young lady said that she will think about the pre-sale, and let me treat you well and not bully you." Xu Changting took the initiative to say.

Wu Jiangnan also listened carefully, but he didn't expect it to be like this, so he asked in surprise: "It's gone?" ”

"Yes, but the rest is what your young lady told me, why should I tell you?" Xu Changting asked rhetorically.

"Humph!" Wu Jiangnan couldn't get angry, turned his head and didn't look at Xu Changting, then bent down and picked up an ear of wheat, and tried to take that Mai Mangzha his hand, and after feeling that there was no reaction, he asked Xu Changting to stretch out the back of his hand and let her tie it to see if it hurt.

"You're stupid to me?" Xu Changting said angrily, but he still stretched out his hand to cooperate with the curious Wu Jiangnan.

Whether Wu Jiangnan asked him whether it hurt or not, itchy or not, Xu Changting shook his head and said nothing.

Immediately, after not walking a few steps, Wu Jiangnan, who lost interest, gave the ears of wheat in his hand to a child who happened to pass by to pick up the ears of wheat.

"Miss said that some of the lone books in the attic can't be given to you. Otherwise, the master will be unhappy, but you can wait for a batch to be printed, and you can send the printed ones to you. Wu Jiangnan followed behind Xu Changting and said.

"I still have some conscience, whether it's new or old, as long as it's a book, I want it." Xu Changting said.

"But Miss said, that will have to wait until your academy begins to take shape, for now...... It's still a barren grass, not even a piece of rubble, and there is no academy. Wu Jiangnan frowned and said worriedly.

Occasionally, I would hear Xu Changting and He Chengtian discussing the academy, and every time I listened to it, I felt that my blood was boiling and it was very exciting, and I couldn't wait to wake up and see the academy at the foot of the mountain.

But every time he walked to the barren place at the foot of this mountain, Wu Jiangnan was a little worried about Xu Changting, and he didn't know when the academy and the winery he said would be built.

"When are you going to start the brewery? Did you give the formula that Miss wanted? Wu Jiangnan continued to ask.

"The winery can start tomorrow, Li Chengxin has already found a craftsman in the city, and he will come over tomorrow. As for the recipe, where I have it now, I don't have to wait until I try it to find out. Xu Changting said justifiably.

Wu Jiangnan behind him was stunned, and after being stunned for a while, he hurriedly ran two steps to keep up with Xu Changting: "You don't know how to make wine?" There is no recipe at all? ”

"Ah, what's wrong?" Xu Changting looked inexplicable, is this something unclear?

"Then you make a ...... Hmph, are you lying to Miss? Wu Jiangnan asked, his fair and delicate little face was a little dissatisfied, and even the long upturned eyelashes were a little dissatisfied, blinking back and forth very smart and full of vitality.
