After crossing, I want to be with you every day

Chapter 309 Paving the Way for Brother

"Father, you are the master of Juren, and you have just arrived in Gaoyang County. I thought it would be better to hold a banquet in the first month. You are a scholar. Li County Magistrate also likes the scenery of Jingyuan. It happens that the wintersweet blooms in the first month." , If you think it’s okay, I’ll set aside the tenth day of the lunar new year for my father to entertain guests.”

Although Chen Ke felt that his daughter was caring, he still felt that it was unnecessary.

After all, Jingyuan is also an industry for people to make a living, and it is not their own back garden. You can enter it whenever you want.

"No need, if you are entertaining guests, I can just hold a banquet at home."

"Father, the scenery of Jingyuan is good for one thing. The second is that my brother will come back. He is also a Juren, and he may take part in the examination after the new year. It is also a good thing to make more friends with scholars. We Gaoyang Although the county is a little poorer, there have been quite a few talented scholars emerging in the past two years, and several talented scholars from the prefecture city also reserved a guest house in those few days, so I thought it might as well be able to meet together."

Chen Ke understood that her daughter's trouble was not only to make herself more stable in Gaoyang County, but she was also planning for Chen Xinglou.

"Alright. If it wasn't for the great changes this year, your elder brother should have taken the provincial examination. Unfortunately, the weather is not as good as people wish, so we have to wait a few more years. After that, your elder brother will still go to school in the government. If you can get acquainted with Being a talented scholar in Fucheng is also beneficial to him."

"Yes, father, that's the deal. I'll tell Chen Jian if you have any other arrangements at that time, you can also send someone to inform Chen Jian directly."

"it is good."

Chen Xingyan's main purpose for coming here is actually this.

The location of Jingyuan is in Qingshui Town. It seems that it is not in the county seat or in a prosperous area. It will make people feel a little remote, but in fact, those literati love this kind of scenery the most. Noisy place.

Therefore, the location of Jingyuan is just right!

And now they are serving porridge in Qingshui Town, and the people who got the porridge will be requisitioned to do some things, such as cleaning the streets, or helping to remove some debris leading to Jingyuan, etc.

In order to make the whole Qingshui Town unique, Chen Xingyan also had some magnolia trees transplanted on both sides of the main street, which also leads directly to Jingyuan.

Just wait until the first lunar month, the magnolia will bloom, and it will definitely have a special charm at that time.

These plans have been done as early as spring, but many people don't know what this kind of thing is, and it doesn't bloom but only grows leaves, which is still a bit rare.

Because of the different varieties of magnolia, the flowering period is also slightly different.

Most of the magnolias transplanted by Chen Xingyan will bloom in the first month, and then bloom again in July and August, and then they will bear fruit.

It's just because this year is the first time to transplant, so Chen Xingyan didn't dare to use too many abilities, which resulted in the magnolia not blooming for the whole year.

The magnolias planted outside the street will probably not bloom until the end of the first lunar month, while the magnolias in the quiet garden will be able to grow flower buds at the beginning of the first month.

In addition to the different varieties, it is watering with or without special abilities.

Hanju will continue to open during the first lunar month, which is also convenient for Chen's father to entertain guests.

If you want to appreciate chrysanthemums, you can go to the flower viewing hall; if you want to appreciate plums, you can go to the plum garden.

On the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, Chen Xinglou finally arrived in Gaoyang County smoothly.

The father and son hadn't seen each other for two years, so when they met for the first time, it was natural that they had to ask each other.

On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, Chen Xinglou took people to Lujia Village.

Although Chen Xingyan bought a house in the county, he still plans to spend the New Year in Lujia Village. The atmosphere of the New Year here is stronger, and there are more people from the clan, and it is more convenient for the Wang family and others to move around.

"elder brother!"

When Chen Xingyan saw his brother, he couldn't help laughing.

Chen Xinglou brought back a lot of good things this time, and Chen Xingyan didn't show courtesy to him, so he accepted them all.

After drinking and eating, Chen Xinglou was helped down by Ah Zhong to rest, while Lu Xiaoniu was hesitant to speak with a blushing face.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Sister-in-law, can you let third brother stay a few more days?"

Chen Xingyan said with a smile: "But if you have knowledge, do you want to ask him for advice?"

Lu Xiaoniu nodded, and said a little cautiously: "I know the third brother is about to take part in the test. Just delay him for a day."

"Well, anyway, he's back, and it's not too late, let him stay here for two days before returning to the county."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Chen Xingyan thought of the need to entertain guests on the tenth day of the first lunar month, so he told Lu Xiaoniu not to slack off in the next few days, to study hard, and on the tenth day of the first lunar month, he and Lu Daxiong would go to the Chen family's flower viewing party in Jingyuan. .

"Yes, I must study hard, thank you sister-in-law."

Chen Xinglou still likes Lu Xiaoniu, a young man. Although he is not particularly talented, he works very hard. Knowing his shortcomings, he is willing to work hard.

In Lu Xiaoniu's words, the opportunity to study is hard-won, and it is even more important to cherish it.

Chen Xinglou stayed in Lu's Village for two days. Seeing that the village was lively and the villagers began to deliver things to the Lu's one after another, he knew that the atmosphere in this village was still very good.

Knowing that gratitude is not something everyone can do.

There is a barefoot doctor in the village. Everyone calls him Uncle Yao. He is a man with a foreign surname. He fled to Lujia Village in the early years, and later settled here with his skill in seeing a doctor.

After so many years, he also has children and grandchildren, and his life is not bad.

Ever since Lu's wishful workshop came out, this Uncle Yao was hired by the workshop to be responsible for the identification of medicinal materials.

This work is not tiring, but it tests one's ability. Uncle Yao is very happy to do it, mainly because the money is so high!

Chen Youchang had basically reported everything about the Ruyi Workshop, thinking that these two days would be the day to settle the accounts, and it was time to send out the happy noodles for the guys that had been scheduled earlier.

"This year's grain is expensive, even if reward money is given to them, there is no place to buy grain."

Chen Youchang's heart also sank.

The grain shop in the town closed after twenty, and there was really no grain to sell.

"According to the person's hair, each person will be given two catties of white flour, five catties of cornmeal, and a bottle of pear paste candy."

"Miss, is this a bit too much?"

If it was half a year ago, these things would not be too many.

But the problem is that it is not easy to buy food now, and the young lady always sells white flour and cornmeal, which is enough for the whole family to eat for several days.

"Let's do it this way. Most of the people in the workshop are members of the Lu clan. It's okay to take care of them. By the way, I have to prepare some new year gifts. If I don't go to the old house, I have to go to Sanbao's house."
