Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

The master was worried that Huo Yunchao and Zheng Shaoxuan would be tricked by people from Yahang, so he specially arranged for someone to accompany them, who could not only lead the way but also negotiate the price, and most importantly, act as a strong deterrent.

Huo Yunchao and Zheng Shaoxuan are people who know good and bad. They took note of their master's kindness and carefully selected them at the dental shop. Huo Yunchao bought an unlucky couple who had to pay off their debts due to family changes at a reasonable price.

Zheng Shaoxuan also bought two slaves, a male and a female. The female was thirty-five years old and had many years of experience in serving people;

He spent five taels more than Huo Yunchao to buy an unlucky young man whose parents had died, his family had deprived him of his family, and he was knocked unconscious by his uncle and sold to a tooth shop.

The extra five taels of silver spent was because the boy, who was only fifteen years old, was literate, and Zheng Shaoxuan wanted to help the boy to make up for his unfortunate childhood.

At this time, Zheng Shaoxuan had never thought of this aspect. What he said to Huo Yunchao was: "Wu Song is reading and literacy, and he happens to be responsible for teaching the new batch of students the Three Character Classic and Hundred Family Surnames."

Due to differences in age, understanding and effort level, the students selected by Patriarch Huo are not at the same level of learning progress. It is best to divide the children into two groups according to their learning progress for targeted teaching, otherwise it will be easy to attack them. Young students who are behind in their studies.

Huo Yunchao naturally agreed with Zheng Shaoxuan's decision. He carefully observed that Wu Song and Zheng Shaoxuan had similar temperaments. With his dignified and upright appearance and his eyes that were still as clear as water after experiencing betrayal, this young man's character was not bad.

Secondly, Huo Yunchao could vaguely guess that Zheng Shaoxuan saw Wu Song, who had a similar experience to him when he was a boy, and subconsciously took action to make up for his misfortune.

childhood.

After coming out of Yahang, Huo Yunchao and Zheng Shaoxuan went straight to Jinlou. They wanted to buy "souvenirs" for their wives and unborn children at home.

Huo Yunchao bought two silver hairpins and a Wushi card engraved with the four words "Peace and Joy". He said happily: "The carved silver hairpin is for Ning Niang, the plainer one is for the stepmother, and the Wushi card is for Ning Niang." For my little baby.”

Zheng Shaoxuan followed suit and also bought silver hairpins and Wushi cards.

Huo Yunchao said with regret: "Brother-in-law, that silver bracelet is really nice. It's a pity that our family is too thin. When we come back next time, I will definitely buy silver bracelets for Ning Niang and Sister Xiaocao."

Zheng Shaoxuan, holding the silver hairpin and the "Nothing" card stuffed into his chest, said matter-of-factly: "You, Sister Xiaocao, are determined to tell you that you spend money recklessly."

Huo Yun smiled broadly and said, "The city is so far away from our home. Sister Xiaocao can't retreat even if she wants to."

Zheng Shaoxuan's frown relaxed, he patted Huo Yunchao on the shoulder and said, "Brother Huo, you have such a good excuse to lend me a favor?"

Huo Yunchao teased: "Brother-in-law, no one can see that you are so afraid of your wife, right?"

After hanging out with Huo Yunchao for a long time, a serious person like Zheng Shaoxuan has learned to joke: "Afraid of my wife? Yes, I'm afraid that my wife will be unhappy."

Huo Yunchao laughed loudly; "Hahaha~ Brother-in-law, you have been led astray by me."

Zheng Shaoxuan shook his head and laughed. How could he be led astray by Huo Yunchao? It obviously led him to the right direction in life!

Wu Song followed Huo Yunchao and Zheng Shaoxuan like a little tail. He carefully observed the temperaments of the two masters, hoping to please them and make his life better as a slave.

Huo Yunchao returned with a full load, and he seriously took the money given by County Magistrate Chen.

All the money was spent, most of it was spent on slaves and silver jewelry, and the rest was spent on borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha, and specially selected two gifts for Magistrate Chen and Master Chen.

However, Huo Yunchao didn't plan to send it out so quickly. He planned to return to the county government office and give the thank you gift away.

Huo Yunchao knocked on Magistrate Chen's door and asked respectfully: "Sir, Master, we have finished our work. Are you returning today?"

Magistrate Chen smiled and said: "The agricultural officer is waiting for your instructions in the field not far from here. You first go to teach the agricultural officer how to grow sweet potatoes. After you have learned the lesson, you can go back to the inn and stay for one night. If you come back early, I I plan to show you both how lively the evening market in Fucheng is. There are many gadgets in the market that can be used to entertain wives and children."

Huo Yunchao's eyes lit up. He wished he could spread his wings and fly back to Xu Ning. It was already high in the sky, so he might as well stay in an inn for one night to recuperate before heading back.

In private situations, County Magistrate Chen has no official airs at all. When chatting with Huo Yunchao, he likes to use "I" and "we" to refer to himself. Compared with the "parents officer" and "Master Qingtian" in the mouth of the people, County Magistrate Chen at this time is more Like a kind elder who loves and respects the younger members of the family.

Huo Yunchao was not surprised by Magistrate Chen's request. He knew that the three stones of sweet potatoes would definitely be kept by the prefect, so he asked in a low voice: "Sir, will all the three stones of sweet potatoes be given to the prefect?"

It's okay not to mention it. As soon as this matter was mentioned, County Magistrate Chen became angry and cursed: "How could I give all the precious sweet potato seeds to the uncle? I originally planned to give the uncle only one stone, but the uncle showed up. His identity as a prefect was revealed. Well, I had to bear the pain and cut off two of them.

Give him the stone. The first level of officialdom crushes people to death! Let’s take a look at the songbook while riding a donkey and we’ll see! Sooner or later, I will let my uncle know how uncomfortable it feels to be pressured by someone based on his identity! "

Huo Yunzhao heard all these complaints in one ear and out the other.

No matter what the outcome of the fight between two adults is, it has nothing to do with him being promoted to a commoner. All he needs to do is pretend to be deaf and dumb, which is the best response strategy.

Huo Yunchao was eager to return home. He suppressed his longing for Xu Ning and conscientiously taught the agricultural officer assigned by the prefect to grow sweet potatoes, explaining all the precautions such as weeding, insecticide, fertilization, and watering.

Originally, the agricultural officer had to obey Huo Yunchao due to the orders of the prefect. The more he listened, the more he felt that Huo Yunchao was a man of real talent and learning.

As expected, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.

The agricultural officer was a quick and conscientious person. He wrote down the precautions Huo Yunchao said without any compromise. After writing them down, he asked Huo Yunchao for confirmation and checked for any omissions.

When Huo Yunchao saw that the agricultural officer took his work so seriously, he immediately felt relieved. It seemed that he would no longer have to delay his return home.

The sky was illuminated extremely beautifully by the brilliant fire clouds. Huo Yunchao returned to the inn under the glow of sunset.

Magistrate Chen and his master had not returned from visiting relatives and friends. Huo Yunchao washed up and had something to eat with Zheng Shaoxuan to fill his stomach.

After Huo Yunchao had eaten and drank enough, he put down his chopsticks and asked Zheng Shaoxuan: "Brother-in-law, have you bought all the books?"

"Well, I bought everything."

Zheng Shaoxuan took out several yellowed and old newspapers from his pocket and asked, "Brother Huo, why do you collect these newspapers?"

Huo Yunchao did not answer immediately, but looked as if he had found a treasure and couldn't wait to

By the dim light, I was reading the newspaper.

Seeing this, Zheng Shaoxuan stopped asking any more questions and followed Huo Yunchao to read the newspaper.
