Xu Shiqiu's reaction was somewhat interesting in the eyes of Xu Jun and Xu Jie.

They never thought that a young master from a rich family like Xu Shiqiu would actually pay attention to such things.

So when Xu Shiqiu's words fell, the two brothers looked at each other, and took the initiative to speak.

Saying that, Xu Jun looked at Xu Shiqiu and explained in detail: "The harvest from the farm is indeed not only for farming.

Mountain can also grow grain, if you feel that the harvest is not good, fruit can be sold, flowers can also be sold to rouge shop.

As for the lake, they could raise fish and ducks, but they also had their own income.

The actual situation of the manor depended on what was going on. However, for two farms like these, the only thing they had been able to earn over the years was money to grow and sell food. Something was indeed amiss.

After all, in terms of farmland, other than growing grain for a season, there are also other harvests. It is not only the harvest for grain for that season. "

When Xu Jun just finished speaking, Xu Jie immediately answered: "Shiqiu, Third Brother is the person who is good at farming in our family, you handing the matter over to him, is for sure."

Just as Xu Jie finished boasting, Xu Jun, who was sitting beside him, immediately glared at him and looked at Xu Shiqiu, "When I was young, I went to the Academy to read for a few days. Although I did not know much, I still liked to research about farming.

However, although what the book said about farming was useful, it still had to be done according to the local soil and environment. Sometimes, it would also require a lot of old agricultural experience.

Not just what you read in books. "

Xu Jun was not actually being modest about this, but he had indeed only been in the academy for less than half a year, and knew a few words.

Later, when he left the academy, because the teacher at that time liked him, he gave him a tattered agricultural book.

In order to read, he had spent two years studying agricultural books. Thus, he had now become the person in his family that was best at farming.

Xu Shiqiu did not expect Xu Jun to actually still be able to read. After hearing what Xu Jun had to say, he felt that Xu Jun was a pretty good candidate.

Thinking about that, Xu Shiqiu looked at Xu Jun and said: "Since that's the case, Third brother will first learn a few words, accounting and management experience. "Wait until Third Sister-in-Law arrives with her nieces and nephew before asking Third Sister-in-Law if she would like to follow you back to the capital."

Xu Shiqiu did not use an commanding tone to directly arrange for Xu Jun to stay. Because of his attitude, Xu Jun had happily accepted his suggestion.

Since it was possible that Xu Jun would return to the capital, then the person who would stay behind with Xu Shiqiu could only be him for the time being.

Coincidentally, Xu Jie's character was a bit more lively than Xu Jun's, he also really liked the fact that he had to run outside every day.

After settling all of these matters, Xu Shiqiu chatted about some other matters with Xu Jun and his.

The ages of the three were not far apart, and they all liked training, so after chatting and laughing for an hour, Xu Jun finally decided to tell Xu Shiqiu about what he had just thought.

"Shiqiu, there's something I wanted to tell you just now. I was just a little hesitant." When Xu Jun just finished speaking, he did not wait for Xu Shiqiu to speak before continuing, "I want to go back and welcome second brother, and my wife and children. Second brother, a grown man is bringing all of them and their children along on the journey. I am really worried. "

Xu Jun looked at Xu Shiqiu who had just finished speaking, and nodded seriously.

Xu Shiqiu naturally could not refuse this request. Not only did he agree to Xu Jun's request, he even took the initiative to speak: "In a while, I will go to the front courtyard to choose a few servants and have them drive the Mule Cart and Third Brother to fetch Second Brother, Sister-in-Law and a few other nephews and nieces."

After saying this, Xu Shiqiu thought for a while, then looked at Xu Jie: "Fourth Brother, follow me to the county store tomorrow, it just so happens that I can invite a suitable Elementary Scholar to come back."

Speaking of the old Elementary Scholar, Xu Shiqiu immediately thought of the day before, when he had come back to find two Elementary Scholars, he had to look for Cui Hua in the town.

It was unknown if Cui Hua was doing well or if she had found a suitable Elementary Scholar.

Originally, the reason why Xu Shiqiu handed this matter to Cui Hua was also because he knew that Cui Hua was pretty capable, and could understand her own meaning.

But Xu Shiqiu did not expect that Cui Hua would nearly not be able to come back this time when she was out on some errands.

As mentioned before, because Cui Hua had a large appetite since childhood, she was disliked by his family. At a very young age, Cui Hua had been a servant at the Xu Family.

Originally, because of Cui Hua's unrefined appearance, she could only do the rough work that was tired and dirty. Every day, she could only eat her fill.

But ever since she was selected by Xu Shiqiu to serve Dong Shu, not only were she no longer as tired as before, she ate much better.

Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu were not people who would torture servants. When Cui Hua had finished cooking occasionally, she would give her some clothings and even ask the big kitchen to cook some for her.

Cui Hua's body was originally of the robust type, and adding to the fact that she had done the work recently, she had easily eaten it. After changing into a set of clothes and walking out of the Xu Family, even her parents had to take a long time to recognize her.

But Cui Hua had never thought that she would meet her mother and her mother's precious son in such a state.

The woman who stopped Cui Hua and the thirteen or fourteen year old teenager were both dressed in patched clothes, a huge contrast to the clothes that Cui Hua was wearing, even though they were not exquisite.

At first, the woman did not believe that the young lady who looked so much like the young mistress of the owner's house was her Cui Hua. However, right at this moment, Cui Hua recognized the woman.

"Mother? What are you doing here? " Cui Hua looked at the woman who had just finished speaking, then looked at the youth who was standing beside the woman and said: "The blockage is big, why doesn't Mother keep him at home to help Father?"

Just as Cui Hua finished speaking, the person who heard her words immediately said unhappily: "I don't need your money losing pipe whether I work or not!"

After saying this, Throat thought for a moment, then said: "Aren't you working on Xu Family? Why did you come out? "

After saying that, he immediately looked towards the lady beside him and said: "Mother, I saw the loser buying food at the teahouse. She definitely has money on her, you get her to give it all to you, and buy me meat buns to eat!"

Right after Sui Zi said that, not only did the woman who heard him not blame him for being disrespectful to Cui Hua, but she also stretched out her hand towards Cui Hua, "Did you hear that? If your brother wants to eat meat buns, hurry up and take out all of your silver coins! "

After saying that, the woman saw that Cui Hua had frozen in place, she immediately extended her hand out and touched Cui Hua's waist, wanting to snatch her money bag.

Only when the woman made her move did Cui Hua regain her senses, and immediately turned around to avoid her mother's hand. Without saying a word, she even retreated two steps in the blink of an eye.

"Mother, this silver was given to me by the Third Young Master. I cannot give it to you." Cui Hua watched her mother as she finished speaking, and didn't wait for her mother's unsatisfied swearing before she continued, "Moreover, the contract I signed with Xu Family back then was very clear, within ten years, I wouldn't even need to give you my monthly fees."

Cui Hua wanted to leave immediately after saying this, but the person who wanted to eat the meat bun immediately lied down on the ground and started crying, "I want to eat the meat bun, I want to pay money for it. Buy meat bun for me quickly, I want to eat the meat bun."

Seeing that she didn't make a move after crying, he hurriedly pulled on his mother's sleeves and said in a spoiled tone, "Mother, I want to eat meat buns. Quickly get the money losers bought them for me, if she doesn't listen, you must marry her to a blind person for money."

When the woman heard her precious son's words, she didn't care that they were on the street anymore. She immediately looked at Cui Hua and scolded viciously, "You silly money loser, didn't you hear that your brother wants to eat meat buns? I gave you a lesson, and you actually dared to disobey me! It just so happens that we don't need to do any more work on Xu Family.

Saying that, the woman wanted to reach out and grab Cui Hua's arm.

Although Cui Hua was foolish, she was not stupid.

So when the woman extended her hand, Cui Hua immediately avoided it, and said loudly: "I am a servant of the Xu Family, and the ten years of contract have not yet come. If you bring me away now, you will have to compensate the Xu Family with silver coins."

Cui Hua still understood his mother, and as expected, when she heard him say this, she was so shocked that she immediately stopped moving.

Seeing that her mother had stopped her actions, Cui Hua hurriedly said: "I'm here to help Third Young Master today, I can see Third Young Master when I return now. If Mother has twenty silver, I'll go report to Third Young Master right now, saying that you want to cancel the contract early and bring me home to get married."

Cui Hua was betting, betting on the twenty silver that the 'blind man' Feng Jian mentioned just now.

She remembered that when her elder sister was married to Cripple at the age of thirteen, she was only worth two taels of silver.

When the woman heard Cui Hua's words, she immediately thought back to when she signed the contract. The person at Xu Family had said that if they wanted to take Cui Hua away ahead of time, they would need to pay twenty silver taels.

Bolt looked at his mother and was stunned. His eyes that were similar to Cui Hua's turned and he quickly reached for Cui Hua's waist.

Just as he was about to pull Cui Hua's purse into her hands, Cui Hua suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.

During this period of time, every time Cui Hua watched him train, he had secretly learnt a lot from him.

Now that Cui Hua was holding onto the plugs' wrists, the plugs immediately released the hands that were holding onto her purse in pain. They even cried out loud: "Mother, the money loser broke my hand!"

The woman was still in a daze, but when she heard the words of Plaits, she immediately regained her senses in panic. Then, she subconsciously raised her hand and slapped Cui Hua's face.

'Bang! '

As the slapping sound was heard, the woman cursed with a stinky spittle, "How could I, your mother, give birth to a loser like you? How dare you break your brother's hand? Let me beat you to death!" After saying that, the woman raised her hand again, and was about to hit Cui Hua in the face.

But this time, the woman did not succeed.
