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

Huo Yunchao thought about it and thought it made sense.

As a human being, you have to take care of yourself first, and only then can you benefit others if you have the energy to do so.

Master and Huo Yunchao were chatting about matters related to the Zhou landlord's house, when Liu Yamen came over on horseback and said in a hurry: "Master, Yun Chao, your Majesty's envoy from the capital has been repairing at the county government office!"

"A messenger sent by His Majesty?"

Huo Yunchao was a little confused. He had never heard of any envoy coming. At most, the prefect would send people to collect information about sweet potato planting from time to time.

"I'm really old and my brain is useless!"

The master was ashamed. Seeing Huo Yunchao looking at him curiously, he quickly explained: "Yunchao, I should have told you three days ago. The Holy Emperor attaches great importance to new grain seeds and specially sent envoys from the capital to preside over the sweet potato harvest. To do the work, there are also historians who specialize in recording the major events of this dynasty! Yun Dynasty, you need to prepare a few sets of clean clothes, but they cannot be brand new, preferably 60 to 70% new, and be ready when you meet with the envoys and historians The rough draft of what I want to say..."

Huo Yunchao is not as worried as his master. He is not worried that he will be written down as a bad guy by historians. He paid such a high price for the discovery and promotion of sweet potatoes, and with the full support of the Chen family, his historical achievements will not be buried.

Of course, the necessary face-saving projects must be done well.

A person needs face and a tree needs bark. When relatives come to the house, they must at least sweep the floor and put away the debris, let alone such a big thing.

After Huo Yunchao said goodbye to his master, he returned home and ordered Deadpool, Zhou Changxing and others to start cleaning up. The inside and outside of the house must be tidy and tidy, and he must leave a good impression on the envoys and historians.

good start

is half the battle.

First impression is very important.

Huo Yunchao continued to instill this concept in Qiu Yun and others. After cleaning up the Xu family, he took Zhou Changxing back to the Huo family to give instructions and sent people to clean up the items inside and outside the house.

Mrs. Chen was both happy and worried. She pulled Huo Yunchao and asked, "Chao'er, are the envoys and historians coming from the capital very powerful? How should we entertain them? Do we have to be particular about salutes and so on?"

Huo Yunchao patiently answered one by one: "Stepmother, the envoys and historians from the capital are not particularly big officials, but they represent His Majesty the Emperor, so we must pay attention to it, but don't worry too much. They are here to witness and The purpose of recording the discovery of new grain varieties is not to find fault with us.”

Mrs. Chen asked many more questions. She was afraid that one of them might offend these high-ranking officials, which would cause Huo Yunchao to lose his achievements and implicate her two sons.

Huo Yunchao was very patient with Chen. He remembered Chen's kindness in coming home every now and then to accompany Xu Ning, and made many clothes and shoes for his unborn child. He would never forget this feeling.

After coming out of Huo's house, Zhou Changxing exhaled a long breath unconsciously. His head was dizzy from Chen's endless chatter. Looking at the boss who was walking in front, he was so calm and indifferent from beginning to end, without any impatience at all. He was truly a filial son.

After spending half a day preparing to welcome the envoys and historians from the capital, Huo Yunchao went to bed at midnight as usual. Xu Ning was infected by his emotions and fell asleep.

Xu Ning slept until daylight, and there was a faint sound outside the window. She shouted towards the door: "Qiu"

cloud. "

"Hey! Madam, are you awake? The master is not at home. I will go in and help you get dressed and change your shoes." Qiu Yun followed Huo Yunchao's orders and came to the door early to guard him.

Huo Yunchao was worried that Xu Ning was too heavy and would be inconvenient to do something, so he specially arranged for Qiu Yun to guard him.

With Qiu Yun's help, Xu Ning sat on the edge of the bed with difficulty, and let Qiu Yun put on her shoes: "Qiu Yun, the master went out so early? Did the master say when the envoy and the historian will arrive?"

Qiuyun is used to serving people. She moves lightly and has an excellent sense of proportion: "Madam, the master said that the messenger will arrive in an hour at the earliest. Let the servant convey the message to the madam. Don't panic. The master also said that the madam is safe at home. Wait, there is no need to see the messenger. No matter how great the messenger is, he still has one pair of eyes and one nose, so there is nothing strange about it."

Huo Yunchao meant that Xu Ning was too heavy and there was no need to go to the envoys in the capital. The envoys in the capital and the historians were officials after all, and ordinary people had to salute and greet them.

Xu Ning had a big belly and it was difficult to bend down and put on shoes. Huo Yunchao simply couldn't bear to let Xu Ning suffer this.

"Okay, then I won't go see the messenger."

Xu Ning knew that Huo Yunchao didn't want her to go, so she obeyed his wishes and waited at home.

"Ning Niang, please take a look at my clothes. How do I feel about my clothes? Are they too shabby?" Butcher Xu felt uncomfortable wearing clothes that were not new.

Xu Ning took a closer look and smiled: "Dad, your clothes are on inside out."

Butcher Xu looked down and laughed too: "Hey, I'm just telling you, my clothes are so tight that my neck hurts. I'm sorry I'm wearing them backwards!"

"

Xu Ning looked at her father's makeup carefully and gave her advice: "Dad, my husband said that you don't need to wear too new clothes. What you are wearing is quite good, but you still need to change to a pair of straw sandals."

Butcher Xu looked at the cloth shoes on his feet and said happily: "Yes, yes! Before you married Chao'er and came into the house, our family wore straw sandals for most of the year. Chao'er was fastidious and filial, so she had to give it to me and him. Dad bought cloth shoes to wear."

Xu Ning smiled and said nothing. She no longer needs to constantly point out Huo Yunchao's contribution to the family. Her father has already opened his heart to accept Huo Yunchao and treats him as his dearest and dearest son.

Butcher Xu changed his clothes and put a bag of broken silver in his pocket: "Ning Niang, do you think I have enough? Do you want to go back and get a banknote?"

"Dad, give me two more bank notes to my husband."

Xu Ning knew that Huo Yunchao didn't care about other people's opinions, but she didn't want the messenger from the capital to mistakenly think that Huo Yunchao's son-in-law had a very miserable life and didn't even have any private money.

"Ning Niang, you are underestimating your father's wisdom! My pocket of money and banknotes are all for Chao'er." Butcher Xu said with a proud look on his face: "I can't let Chao'er lose his status outside. "

Xu Ning gave a thumbs up and praised: "Dad, you are so thoughtful!"

"Haha~"

Butcher Xu happily took the money and went to meet Huo Yunchao.

The doctor woman came out with a bowl of soup: "Madam, it's time to drink soup."

Huo Yunchao discussed with Xu Lizheng at the entrance of the village about meeting the envoy and went over the regulations in detail.

He looked up at the sky and said to Li Zheng, "It's almost time for us to set off. The county magistrate said that the envoys and historians will go directly to the sweet potato fields and will not take a special detour to the village."

"Chao'er,

What do you think of me? "

Butcher Xu's loud voice dispelled the nervousness lingering in Huo Yunchao's heart, and he strode forward: "Dad Xu, you look good in this outfit!"
