On the way, Lin Wanwan said to him: "Thank you for standing up for me just now, but there is no need to do this. Let them say whatever they want. I won't lose a piece of meat anyway."

Fu Junyi turned his head to glance at her, then looked away.

"I'm the one who caused you trouble, and it's only right. You don't have to worry about it."

"This is not a big deal. You don't have to worry about it. This is how it is in the village. You don't have to bother with them. I just want to do a good job in business and farming. I can talk about other things later."

"Well, then I have to hurry up and take care of the situation in the capital so that the sugar can be sold to various states and counties."

"Hehe, thank you for your hard work, Master Fu. In two years, I will open Baiweiju in the capital! I will need your care then!"

"Hahaha! I'm afraid you don't know how popular your stewed pork and roast duck are in the capital? Thirty pairs of stewed pork are not enough to sell every day, and 150 roast ducks are sold every day. They are all sold out as soon as they come out of the oven. Those villages that raise chickens and ducks are almost out of supply, otherwise they would increase the quantity."

"Ah? They're selling so well there? My grandfather's village started raising chickens and ducks last year, and the first batch was sold a few days ago. Because they're raised in the mountains, the meat is tender and not greasy. Baiweiju is in short supply, and we'll be able to supply other shops by autumn this year."

"Oh? How many do they have there?"

Lin Wanwan calculated and said, "There are about 15,000 now. By late autumn, there should be at least 30,000."

"Well, that's not a small scale. We should be able to supply them. I have to say that you have a very good way out. If someone cuts off our supply, we don't have to worry too much."

Lin Wanwan chuckled, "I'm afraid of this too."

Fu Jun also looked down at her with a gentle expression. If he could really get such a person, it would be the greatest blessing.

Sun Zhenzhu was ridiculed by them and went home in a rage. She smashed things and went to the matchmaker the next day to find a rich concubine for Shen Li. Although the matchmaker looked down on her in her heart, she still happily took the money and went to find out.

Two days later, the people who were sent out to keep an eye on them reported that all the spies who were following them had been withdrawn and they were now safe.

Fu Jun also went to Zhuangzi to pick up a batch of sugar and headed straight to Raozhou.

In mid-April, Lin Wanwan unexpectedly became famous because of a painting.

Not long ago, the imperial court sent a scholar named Meng Yang to preside over the college examination in Yongcheng, Yingzhou. After the results were announced, he had time to go to Lushui Academy to visit his teacher.

The headmaster took him around and talked about what had happened in the capital over the years. Before they knew it, they had reached the top of Qingyao Mountain and were looking into the distance.

The rice fields in the water village are connected to the mountains and rivers, and the mountains in the east are full of flowers, just like a fairyland. There are crowds of people at the river, and I don’t know what they are building, bringing this fairyland back to the human world.

Meng Yang couldn't help but admire the beautiful scenery, and turned to ask his mentor where the mountain was.

Old Wei was also very confused. In previous years, the place was either overgrown with weeds or bare yellow soil. When did it become like this?

"This is the ancestral land of Wang Wenyao, the former Imperial Censor. Back then, I served as an official with him. He was talented, generous, honest and loyal. The most valuable thing in his family is this ancestral property.

Emperor Yao was incompetent and confiscated his property and the family of Qi Chong. I and other ministers made a joint petition and knelt for a day and a night, but still failed to save them. Alas! After they were beheaded, I fell seriously ill and retired to my hometown. I returned to Yun'an County and opened a private school. Emperor Hui appointed people based on their merits and worked hard to govern the country. This allowed me to open an academy in Qingyao Mountain to train talented people for Dayuan. "

"Alas, I am getting old! It is inevitable that some of the scenes bring back some sentimental memories. Please don't think I am nagging, Zezhi."

"How dare you, students? Teachers have spent their entire lives caring for the country and setting an example. Students cannot admire them enough."

"Don't flatter me. Let's go down the mountain and take a look!"

The two of them strolled all the way to the farm, where they were stopped by Da Huang and Er Huang, and then a dozen people hurriedly ran over from inside.

"What do you two do?"

Meng Yang had been protecting Wei Lao behind him. He bowed to them and said, "We are teachers from Lushui Academy. We happened to see your flowers blooming all over the mountain and wanted to come up and take a look."

"Then wait a moment, I'll go ask!"

Chen Wenhua was called by his third brother to help keep accounts during this period. After hearing about this, the two of them hurried to find out whether it was true or not.

Chen Wenhua felt that the older man looked familiar. After thinking carefully, he realized that this was the principal of Lushui Academy!

He immediately bowed to Mr. Wei and said, "Greetings to the headmaster and the master."

Mr. Wei breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile, "How do you recognize me?"

"When I was a student, I had the honor to go there and listen to Shanzhang's lectures."

"I see... Is this your Zhuangzi? Can I go and see it?"

Chen Wenlin asked everyone to go back, raised his hand to invite them in, and explained: "This is the farm of my niece. She was fortunate to receive a reward from the emperor. She planted farmland and orchards here and hired some people to look after it."

Meng Yang suddenly remembered that the emperor had indeed rewarded a woman some time ago.

"Is your niece the woman who made the water-penetrating windmill?"

Chen Wenlin immediately became alert and asked, "How did you know?"

Mr. Wei didn't understand why he was so nervous, so he explained, "This is the academic official sent by the court to preside over the college examination. He should have heard about what happened in the capital."

Chen Wenhua pulled his third brother and hurriedly saluted, "Greetings, sir!"

"Hey~ I'm just here to have fun, you don't have to be so polite. At that time, they described the windmill as something magical. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it!"

"Oh? What exactly is it? I have only heard about it, but I have never seen it with my own eyes."
