Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 69 The Study Room
Just as he was about to say goodbye to Zhang Zhuoyu, Master Wan and Mrs. Wan also came back, so Du Xian took Du Xiaoyu to greet him.Hearing that they brought cold melons, Mr. Wan was very happy, and immediately asked his servants to cut them up and send them over. He asked if the farming was going well this year and other gossip. Mrs. Wan praised Du Huanghua for being smart and capable, and could learn everything Soon, Sister Rong was so angry that her fingers trembled.

"Has that person ever bullied Eldest Sister?" Du Xiaoyu pointed at Sister Rong, and asked Du Wenyuan in a low voice. Anyway, if she asked Du Huanghua, she would definitely not say anything.

"Probably not." Du Wenyuan said, "Eldest sister is highly regarded by Mrs. Wan, so she wouldn't dare to do anything, isn't she afraid that eldest sister will tell Mrs. Wan?"

Du Xiaoyu was speechless. Men and women are different. No wonder the house fights and palace fights in novels are all wars between women. Men are really not careful enough in this regard, or they don't want to put their minds on it, so Even if he is as smart as Du Wenyuan, he doesn't know what Sister Rong will do.

She was a little worried, and frowned slightly. She originally thought that Du Wenyuan could take care of the eldest sister in Wanjia, but it seemed that this idea would not work.

Zhang Zhuoyu came over at this time and said, "Xiaoyu, have you finished reading all your agricultural books? Just now Uncle Du said that you are responsible for all the melon fields, which is amazing!"

She smiled, "My father is exaggerating, but that book is really good and very helpful for farming. I've almost finished reading it."

"Then do you want to borrow something else?" Zhang Zhuoyu glanced at Du Wenyuan, "I heard from your second brother that your family is planning to raise some pigs and sheep."

Du Xiaoyu nodded quickly, "Yes, can I borrow it?" Although it was also mentioned in Qi Min's essential technique, it is the most comprehensive and safest way to combine the strengths of each family.

"Of course." Zhang Zhuoyu smiled, "Otherwise I'll ask you what you're doing."

He told Master Wan and Mrs. Wan and took Du Xiaoyu to the study room. Du Wenyuan was about to follow when he heard Master Wan say, "Come on, Wen Yuan, if your father doesn't believe that you are outstanding in poetry, when I mess around Praise you. Tell me, did you write a poem last time to make even that surnamed Chi docile?"

"Which son is the surname Chi?" Du Xian asked.

"Oh, it's the first one in the back and forth test."

Du Wenyuan had no choice but to step forward to answer.

Over there, Du Xiaoyu has already walked into the study room, which is on the other side of the side hall. There are three huge shelves standing against the wall, separated by more than ten rows from top to bottom, and each row is filled with books. Neatly, she saw that there were probably not thousands of books, but seven or eight hundred, and she couldn't help being speechless, "It seems that Master Wan likes reading books very much."

Zhang Zhuoyu smiled, "My uncle likes collecting books, not necessarily reading them, but he really loves calligraphy and painting."

"Anyway, my second brother and I are completely married." Du Xiaoyu pointed to the bookshelf, "Where is the agricultural book?"

"Here." Zhang Zhuoyu led her to the west wall, took a stool and climbed up, "It's on the top, and there are no people reading it on weekdays." He took two books and handed them to her.

Du Xiaoyu had never heard of "Nongsang Jiyao" and "Simin Yueling", but he picked it up and flipped through it casually, and saw that it was written in great detail, so he said happily, "It looks very suitable, Thank you."

"It's easy to do, and I can get rich. There are melons to eat in summer," he said, "There are also rabbits to play with. My cousin is waiting for you to raise them and give them to her."

Du Xiaoyu didn't know that what he said was polite, if he really wanted a rabbit, the peddler could buy it, and the Wan family wouldn't be able to afford it, so he still smiled on the surface, "Soon, there will be one in a few months." , " asked again, "Didn't Miss Wan say she wanted to come to our village to play, when will you bring her here?"

"It may take a while, my cousin is not feeling well, and she is coughing these days."

No wonder he didn't see her, Du Xiaoyu nodded, "Then you really need to rest more."

She stayed in the study for a while to see if there was anything she needed to borrow in the future, while Zhang Zhuoyu talked about Master Wan's collection of books. Some of them were bought, some were traded for medicinal materials, and some were won by wine competitions with others. In short, it is varied and extremely interesting.

"Then what books do you like to read?" Du Xiaoyu asked midway, "It's not the books in the academy."

Zhang Zhuoyu said, "Those books have already taken up a lot of time. I will read Shanhaijing, Shuijing, Kuodizhi, etc. in my free time." Yes. Once I went to Qidong County with my uncle, and the things I heard casually at the pier were unimaginable."

Unexpectedly, his hobby is geography travel notes. Du Xiaoyu felt the same way, "It is said that traveling thousands of miles is worse than reading thousands of books, and I really want to go outside one day to have a look."

Zhang Zhuoyu was very happy to find a bosom friend, "It's rare that you think the same way, unlike your second brother who always says I'm delusional and that the world outside is dangerous, and if I go out, I'll be tricked into coming back."

Du Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing.

Zhang Zhuoyu looked at her, frowning slightly, "You, you think so too?"

"Not really, but there are a lot of scammers. I heard that there are all kinds of tricks. If you want to travel around, you have to keep fit, or be careful in order to be safe." Du Xiaoyu then talked about a trick, which is selling money. The story of the horseman taking the poor horse as collateral to the person who intends to buy the horse and defrauding the cloth shop of some valuable cloth.

After hearing this, Zhang Zhuoyu sighed, "If you're really cunning, how would a horse buyer think of guarding against such things!"

"So the second brother is right, but as long as you are careful enough, it's no big deal." Du Xiaoyu encouraged him.

Zhang Zhuoyu just laughed, "Xiaoyu, you know a lot, I really want to ask for advice."

"Where is it? It's all from the books." She said a few words modestly.

The two walked out of the study room talking and laughing, Du Xian also said goodbye to Master Wan, gave Du Huanghua a few words of advice, and took Du Xiaoyu home.

Naturally, I didn't tell Mrs. Zhao about the cold melon that was smashed in the market, so as not to worry her. She only said that he earned two taels of silver. To make up for the shortage, Du Xiaoyu had to pay for it himself. , the purse is much more deflated than hers.

"I'll replenish it to you at that time." Du Xian whispered, "Your mother always gives me dozens of copper coins to spend every month."

Du Xiaoyu laughed, "Father, let's forget about your private money, I want to sell herbal medicine anyway."

Du Xian was very embarrassed and sad for her. He patted her head and sighed, "Hey, it's a pity that those melons are gone. Dad will go to you Uncle Lin to learn art now, so as not to be smashed when selling melons next year."

"Farewell, how long has your back injury lasted? What if you sprain it again." Du Xiaoyu hurriedly stopped him, "Go and learn martial arts, mother is already unhappy with second brother, adding another one, won't it bother you again? Want to learn?" Why not learn from me, and besides, if you go to sell it next year, you have to be prepared no matter what, and you must never encounter this kind of thing again."

Du Xian didn't insist. At this time, Lin Song came over, holding a hare in his hand, and said with a smile, "My sister is a good crafter. This rabbit was burned tonight. I'll go buy some wine."

Du Xian said, "Brother Lin has gone to the mountains?"

"Yeah, I was in a panic when I had nothing to do. I wanted to shoot a wild boar or something, but there are really no big ones in this mountain. There are only rabbits and roe deer. I almost hit a fox just now. Who would have expected that beast to be so cunning and pretend to be dead?" I ran away." Lin Song patted his thigh, "What a pity!"

When Du Xiaoyu heard that he had gone to the mountains, she suddenly thought of something, "Uncle Lin, have you passed by the apricot forest?" She was busy with cold melons during this time, so she completely forgot about Xingzi.

"Apricots?" Lin Song said casually, "they are ripe too early, and they fall all over the ground."

No!Du Xiaoyu said anxiously, "Why didn't you tell me!"

Du Xian glared at her when he heard this, "Girl, why does Uncle Lin care about these things, so he came here to tell you?"

The father of the grass on the wall, Du Xiaoyu said angrily, "I went to the mountains with Uncle Lin to look at the apricots, and I thought I would pick them and sell them after a while, and Uncle Lin knew about it."

Lin Song didn't care about the child, although he heard that he was blaming him, but he didn't react at all, he just said, "It's okay to pick it up now, anyway, no one will grab it from you."

Mrs. Zhao came out to take the wild rabbit, and said, "These apricots are too ripe to be placed, and they are almost six months old, so they must be rotten and can't be eaten."

Ah, her money, Du Xiaoyu regretted it so much, she only hated herself for forgetting about it, she had planned how to use Mrs Hong to grab apricots from others, but the appearance of the tiger disrupted the plan, otherwise how could she go to the mountains often will not remember.

Seeing her like that, Mrs. Zhao shook her head, "I'm afraid this child will go crazy, and he thinks about money all day long."

Not wanting to get the money, Du Xiaoyu pouted, ran to Lin Song and said, "Uncle Lin, you are also responsible for this matter, accompany me to the mountains tomorrow, and I will bring back all the apricots."

"Why does Rotten Xingzi come here?" Du Xian asked strangely.

Du Xiaoyu didn't answer, just stared at Lin Song. If he didn't go with him, Mrs. Zhao and Du Xian wouldn't agree to let her go alone. Besides, they couldn't get so many apricots back.

Lin Song looked at her, and thought that in this family, the girl was the one with the most eyes and lots of things to do.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Du Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows and said, "Uncle Lin, where are you from? Who else is there in the family, why don't you take them all over..."

Lin Song immediately said, "Go tomorrow morning." Then he got up and left.

Du Xiaoyu was secretly funny, this Lin Song lives at Aunt Wu's house, and he has to come to their house for dinner every day, and the martial arts gym is so close, they have to meet often, Lin Song is afraid that she will be long-winded ?It seems that this trick is quite effective, as long as he comes to their house, she will continue to use it every day.

"Look, I've annoyed you, Uncle Lin." Du Xian shook his head, "It's better to go less in the mountains. What can you do with those rotten apricots? You can't even sell them for a lot of money."

Du Xiaoyu had her own thoughts, stuck out her tongue at Du Xian and went into the room.

Thank you xiaojiu for the reward, stacey for the pink ticket, I wish you all a happy reunion, have a happy New Year's Eve dinner, there will be two updates tomorrow~~
