Farming and reading lady

"Grandpa, it's still early, let's take a walk around the town, who knows what we might find." Gu Xixian said coquettishly to the old man.

"My dear grandson, next time, next time, grandpa will definitely take you for a good walk. Forget about this time. Look at this. We can't be careless. There are many thieves in the town." What did he find? The old man didn't ask much. No matter how Gu Xixian played tricks, he didn't agree. It was a joke. With three hundred taels of silver in his pocket, he didn't dare to wander around outside. If he ran into a thief, wouldn't he be heartbroken?

Gu Xixian had no choice but to nod and agree. After all, the amount was too large. You know, ten taels was enough for a farmer's family to eat for a year. It was understandable that the old man was cautious. Gu Xixian hung his head, looking a little depressed.

"Xian, do you think our rare thing can really succeed?" The old man tactfully changed the subject.

"Grandpa, don't worry, it will definitely work." Speaking of this, Gu Xixian was revived with full blood. This was her hobby in her previous life. She didn't know how many times she had done it. She had done it in its original form and with good ingredients. Now, it was just a piece of cake. As for sales, there was no need to worry at all. She had already thought of a way to promote it.

"That's good, that's good." Seeing his granddaughter's solemn promise, the old man finally put his worries to rest. Although this little girl is young, she has never boasted about Haikou, so her credibility is still very high.

What secrets were the grandfather and grandson hiding? The driver, Gu Laoda, felt like a cat scratching his heart, which made him feel uncomfortable, but he certainly couldn't ask the truth. Later, he also carefully observed everyone in the family, including his mother, but it was obvious that they were all kept in the dark like him, which comforted him a little. Gradually, he let the matter go. This is a later story.

When the three of them got home, it was already afternoon. The old man asked Gu Xichen to go to the third room to call the third son and his wife to the old house. The whole family closed the outer door and gathered in the hall. The old man first took out four fifty-liang silver notes, which he had thought of earlier and asked Manager Guo to change: "This is two hundred liang for selling fish. Let's not talk about whether others know it or not. Our family should know everything. Whether it is the seedling cultivation method or rice seedlings and fish farming, it was our Xian's idea. Logically, the third son's family should get more of this money, but our Xian said that we are all family and can't divide it so clearly, so I made the decision. The two hundred liang will be divided into four parts. I and your mother will get one share, and the eldest, second, and third sons will each get one share. Is that okay?"

Gu Liqi and his wife saw their daughter winking at them and were the first to speak: "We have no objection. Although Xian'er came up with the idea, it was everyone who did the hard work. Let's divide it this way."

Gu Lao Da and Gu Lao Er were even more speechless. They were lucky to have benefited from this. Everyone knew that the method was the most important thing. How much was the labor worth? The fifty taels of silver for their family were like free money. What else could they say?

Seeing that no one had any objections, the old man gave one to each family. Then, he took out a silver note of 100 taels and said, "I was not going to mention this 100 taels to you, but the eldest brother saw it at the time, so in order to avoid any dirty tricks in the future, I will mention it."

Everyone looked at Gu Lao Da, who was at a loss: "Dad, this has nothing to do with me."

The old man nodded: "This has nothing to do with you. This hundred taels is from Mingyue Pavilion to thank us for the recipe for Yuxing. You don't have the nerve to ask for a share of this money, right?"

Although it was just an inquiry, the tone was: whoever dared to say a point, he would break his legs.

"Father, what are you talking about? We have already taken most of the fifty taels, how dare you say anything else?" Mrs. Mo was a straightforward person, she said whatever she thought, this was what was in her heart, she loved this little girl from her third brother's family as if she were her own daughter.

"Yes, Father, what my second brother's wife said is exactly what we want to say. We don't have the nerve to bully kids. We have already taken advantage of this great opportunity, so how can we not be satisfied?" Liu also quickly expressed her opinion. She was a thoughtful person, but she was grateful.

Seeing his two sons nodding their heads, the old man was very pleased. Seeing the disbelief in the third son and his wife, he said, "Although you two are our Xian's parents, you don't get a share of this. This is all our Xian's dowry. Don't think about it."

Before Gu Lieqi and his wife could say anything, Gu Xixian stamped his feet and shouted, "Grandpa, I'm still young."

Gu Xixian was shocked by the old man's words. She was only three years old, okay? How could he be talking about dowry?

The old man patted her hands, signaling her not to speak: "Xian is still young, so you, as parents, will keep the money. But I need to write a note for the money, and you two need to sign it."

Gu Liqi and his wife were left in tears and laughter by this. How could they be so greedy for their daughter's dowry money?

"Dad, let's do as you say." The old man has always been the one who has the final say, but the two of them didn't object too much. After all, this also showed that the old man really cared about his daughter.

"Oh, our Xian has become a wealthy woman." After the matter was settled, Mrs. Mo joked.

Gu Xixian chuckled: "Next time I go to town, I will buy flowers for all the women in our family. One for grandma, one for auntie, one for second auntie, one for mother, one for elder sister, second sister, third sister, everyone will get one."

"Sister, what about us? Why do only women have it?" Gu Xihao was not happy.

"Hehe, who made me a woman?" Gu Xixian teased him deliberately. Anyway, she would definitely give everyone a gift next time.

Gu Xihao ignored her angrily, and everyone laughed.

After dividing the money, the whole family gathered together for a rare meal.

During this time, the old man looked at the two boys from the eldest family and asked, "Third brother, how are Yang and Chen doing recently? Are you sure they will be fine by February next year?"

Gu Lieqi nodded: "My two nephews have a good foundation and are serious. They should have no problem passing the Tongsheng exam."

"That's good. After the New Year, according to our saying, we have to prepare for the first season of rice. It will be very busy then. You two boys must not waste the present time and must not slack off." The success of the three-season rice gave the old man great confidence, and he decided to listen to his granddaughter's advice and conduct a trial of three seasons a year.

Gu Xiyang and Gu Xichen nodded quickly. Life at home had improved and they were now full of confidence.

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms.
