Xu Jizhong, who was originally stunned, couldn't help but shrink his pupils violently when he heard Liu Hu's voice, and then lowered his head, not daring to look at Liu Hu.

Liu Hu is doing business, and his eyesight has already been exercised.

Seeing Xu Jizhong's appearance, his heart suddenly drummed.

However, he still stepped forward very politely and expressed his condolences to Xu's mother.

When Mother Xu heard Liu Hu's words, she wiped her tears and cried to him.

"My family, how is this good?

I was so sick in the middle of the season that I don't know how much money it would cost. ”

When Liu Hu heard this, his face, which was still smiling, stiffened slightly.

immediately straightened his face, called someone to come, and paid Xu Jizhong's money for medical treatment first.

"Don't worry about my mother-in-law, Ji Zhong is also half my son, and my Liu family will not be indifferent if something happens."

Seeing that Liu Hu paid for her son's medical treatment, Xu's mother was a little settled in her heart.

However, when he thought that his son had no chance to participate in this imperial examination, he couldn't help but feel sad and cried with a whimper.

Xu Jizhong naturally heard Liu Hu's words, and replied with a pale face and a face full of shame.

"Thank you, uncle!"

"Family, why be so polite.

The virtuous nephew first took care of the illness, and after recuperating his body, he waited for three years and then started again. ”

Although Liu Hu said this, he was also a little annoyed in his heart.

After all, it was originally planned to marry his daughter after Xu Jizhong passed the exam.

In this way, it can be regarded as a double happiness.

Now that Xu Jizhong has no chance with this imperial examination, his daughter has married him, and he feels a little disgraced.

After all, when I held an engagement banquet for my daughter, my neighbors, relatives and friends all knew that my hairy son-in-law was the one who wanted to be lifted.

Liu Hu paid the money for the medical treatment, and after comforting Xu's mother and Xu Jizhong, he returned home.

After Mother Xu waited for Liu Hu to leave the door of the hospital, the original crying suddenly stopped, and she woke up with a nose of snot, then pursed her lips and said to Xu Jizhong unhappily.

"Son, the daughter of the Liu family is not a good one.

You're so sick that she doesn't even come to see you.

I see, she doesn't have you in her heart at all. ”

Xu Jizhong listened to his mother's words, bowed his head and was silent, if you look closely, you can see that Xu Jizhong under the quilt clenched the sheets under the quilt fiercely, and the green tendons on the back of his hands burst out.

"Mother, Miss Liu is just afraid of being gossiped, so she will visit in the future.

Moreover, didn't the uncle of the Liu family already come to the hospital to see his son? ”

Hearing her son say good things for Liu Zhen, Xu's mother felt even more depressed.

It's just that thinking that Liu Hu helped his family just pay the cost of the hospital, it's not good to scold his daughter behind his back right now, so he can only turn his head angrily and don't look at his son.

After Liu Hu comforted Xu Jizhong, he didn't rush home, but went to Ningfu.

After all, among the people I know, in addition to my own hairy son-in-law who wants to participate in this township test, there is also Feng Xu, who has known him for several years, who also wants to participate in this township test!

Before he could get close to the gate of Ning Mansion, he saw a carriage just stopped at the gate.

The person who got off the carriage was none other than Feng Xu, who participated in the township test.

"Steward Liu, why are you here today?"

Feng Xu got out of the carriage and was helping his wife Chen Huilan to get out of the carriage, when he happened to see Liu Hu and immediately greeted him with a smile.

In the past few years in Nanyue Mansion, Feng Xu and his wife can be said to have relied on Liu Hu's help.

Therefore, Feng Xu is very close to Liu Hu.

Now that I saw him, I was naturally happy to raise my hand to say hello.

Liu Hu walked a few steps quickly, walked beside Feng Xu, and then entered the Ning Mansion together.

"Brother Feng, can you be sure of the imperial examination this time?"

When he entered, Liu Hu asked with a smile.

Feng Xu nodded and replied confidently.

"It should be fine."

The precipitation of the past few years has made him very confident.

After finishing speaking, he suddenly remembered Liu Hu's son-in-law, who seemed to be also in this scientific expedition, and suddenly asked.

"Your son-in-law, how did you do in the exam?"

Hearing Feng Xu's question, Liu Hu sighed and told Xu Jizhong about his illness.

"Sick? Wouldn't it take another three years to take the township test again?

However, this is also something that cannot be helped, and it is necessary to persuade him well. ”

Feng Xu hissed and said with some pity.

As a candidate, he knows best how sad it is to be unable to take the imperial examination because of illness.

After all, it's not because of my own talent that I didn't win.

More or less, they are all unwilling.

If it's the narrow-minded one who can't figure it out, it's likely that he'll be on the tip of the bull's horns!

After all, how many three years does a person have to start all over again?

The two of them chatted all the way to the living room before they stopped.

stepped forward and bowed to Ning Pengpeng: "Meet the county lord!" ”

Ning Pengpeng nodded at Feng Xu, and then asked him to hurry back to his yard.

It's finally over, so you have to freshen up.

Moreover, his wife Chen Huilan is still waiting in the yard!

What is there to talk about with an old lady with her, it is better to have a good talk with your own lady.

It was Liu Hu who reported to Ning Pengpeng what happened in the pearl farm over there in Yujiawan during these days.

Ning Pengpeng asked him to send the account book, and she would check it carefully if it was empty.

Then he chatted about his daily routine again, and when he learned about Xu Jizhong, he couldn't help but sigh for a while, and forgot about it.

After all, Xu Jizhong hasn't really married Liu Zhen yet, even if he does, it's not her who is anxious and uncomfortable!

It was Liu Hu, who heard the county lord inquire about Xu Jizhong's affairs, and replied very gratefully.

"Thank you for your concern."

Because of Nanyue Mansion, in the past few years, Liu Hu has helped Ning Mansion buy several Zhuangzi.

Therefore, Ning Pengpeng divided half of the cotton seeds that Ning Cheng'er brought to her and handed them to Liu Hu.

Tell him to take this half of the cotton seed to the village and plant it according to his own soaking method.

The soaking method of cotton allows the buds to come out early, and then they are planted intensively and nourished with compost piles.

When the nutrients are enough, branch and plant.

After planting, watch out for aphids.

This kind of aphid, because there was no such thing as an insecticidal potion in ancient times, can only be caught by hand.

After all, researching insecticidal potions doesn't know if it's the Year of the Monkey.

In ancient times, the most important thing was artificial!

There are dozens of subordinates in a Zhuangzi, to say the least.

These dozens of people are catching aphids together, and no matter how many bugs there are, they will be caught for you!

When the aphids are caught, they will be pulled out.

The top that is pulled out must be removed in time, and there are some stiff seeds, which must be removed, otherwise, it will affect the amount of cotton.

It's just that although Liu Hu told Liu Hu about these things, Liu Hu was confused about the small bag of cotton seeds given to him by the county lord.

He didn't see at all what kind of seed this was, which actually made His Royal Highness the County Lord so nervous and important.
