Chapter 263: Testing

A hint of coldness flashed in Ye Mingzhu's eyes. She was somewhat dissatisfied with Wu Yue, who wanted Erya to go to the dim sum shop.

"Mother, we can talk about choosing someone from the manor later. What needs to be resolved now is the issue between Mo Xing and Mo Wan. Aunt Mo has set her sights on Wu Tie and wants him to be her son-in-law and adopt a child into the Mo family in the future."

Ye Mingzhu told Aunt Mo about her plan.

Aunt Jiang was very calm: "Xia Zhi cares about children and must hope to have descendants to live with her in the future. I saw that Wu Tie today. He is very filial to Xia Zhi, which is very good."

"You don't have to worry too much about this. Xia Zhi's family is now in a good position. The Wu family has two sons, and Xia Zhi only wants a grandson. This request is not excessive."

Ye Mingzhu didn't expect Aunt Jiang to be so open-minded.

Aunt Jiang smiled and said, "Actually, this is very simple. You are the host. If you go and talk to Wu Jiang, they will definitely agree."

Ye Mingzhu was speechless for a moment. She had forgotten that Aunt Jiang was a typical noble lady in ancient times. In her opinion, the people on the farm were just like her servants. Marriage between servants was not that complicated. But after living in modern times for a long time, she felt that matters like marriage should be discussed beforehand.

"I'll ask Wu Jiang something later."

Ye Mingzhu still wanted to ask the man's opinion first.

Aunt Jiang smiled and said okay.

Ye Mingzhu walked out of Aunt Jiang's room and went straight to find Uncle Yan, asking him to take Wu Jiang with him, and the three of them should go together to check out the wasteland nearby.

The official ship will set sail in five days, and she needs to resolve these matters before departure.

Wu Jiang came quickly, with a smile on his face: "Boss, are we going out?"

When Uncle Yan went to call him just now, he just said that he had to go out for something, but didn't say what it was.

Ye Mingzhu nodded and said, "I see there's a lot of wasteland nearby. I want to see if there's any place suitable for growing sweet potatoes and yams."

Wu Jiang smiled and nodded, feeling emotional. A few months ago, he felt that he could no longer stay on this farm, but he didn't expect that the owner had changed. The owner not only planted sweet poplars but also sweet potatoes on the farm, and the owner wanted to buy new land.

Moreover, his boss took him to buy new land. Could he also become the head of the new land?

The smile on Wu Jiang's face brightened noticeably, and he turned around to hitch the ox cart.

Uncle Yan called him: "Let's take a carriage, it's faster."

He had already fed the horse and let it drink water when he came back just now, so now he just had to lead it over.

The three of them got into the carriage, opened the curtains and windows in front, and looked out from inside, they could directly see the situation in the fields outside.

Wu Jiang told Ye Mingzhu everything he knew about the wasteland. Ye Mingzhu also got off the carriage and walked around in the wasteland to feel the temperature there herself.

Fortunately, they really found a place with relatively high temperature and inconspicuous puddles. Fortunately, the area was large enough, about seven or eight acres.

"Boss, we've searched all the wasteland around here. If you want to grow sweet potatoes now, this is the most suitable place."

Wu Jiang already understood Ye Mingzhu's idea of ​​growing sweet potatoes near the hot springs. He most recommended the land west of the village. Not only was it close, but there were also hot springs there. The weeds there were obviously greener than the grass elsewhere. If the sweet potatoes were planted now, they would probably be ripe in March or April.

Ye Mingzhu is not very good at farming, but she can feel the temperature. After running around all afternoon, she found that only the land that Wu Jiang mentioned just now had a higher temperature.

"Let's go back first and go to the last piece of wasteland tomorrow." Ye Mingzhu thought about the wastelands she had just visited and knew that there was still one last piece of wasteland that she had not seen, but it was getting late and it was not convenient to go and see it.

On the way back, Ye Mingzhu casually asked about Wu Jiang's family situation.

Wu Jiang naturally told Ye Mingzhu about the situation of his children, and then thanked her, saying that without her, Wu Yue and Wu Tie would not have had the opportunity to work in the county shop.

"It's all their own fault." Ye Mingzhu said this sincerely. Wu Yue and Wu Tie have achieved what they have today through their own efforts.

Wu Jiang laughed loudly. Although he was proud in his heart, his words were full of gratitude towards Ye Mingzhu.

Ye Mingzhu asked about the marriages of several children again. Wu Jiang thought she was going to find someone to marry Wu Yue. He was a little worried and a little surprised. He knew that there were no ordinary people around Ye Mingzhu. Just because she knew the county magistrate, the family she found for Wu Yue would not be bad.

However, after Ye Mingzhu said a few words and asked about Wu Tie's situation, Wu Jiang just shook his head: "Xiao Tie has always been a worry-free child. When his mother is busy, he just follows Xiao Yue and plays by himself."

Doesn't this mean that they care less?

"Wu Tie is now learning how to make pastries from Aunt Mo. Do you have any other ideas?" Ye Mingzhu had no experience in matchmaking, and what she said was likely misunderstood.

Wu Jiang's face changed color a little: "Boss, did Wu Tie make any mistakes? He is still young. Boss, give him a chance. We just hope that he can work well for you. We don't have any other ideas."

Ye Mingzhu then realized that her words were ambiguous, so she simply said, "Wu Tie is doing very well in the shop, and Aunt Mo is even planning to pass on the Mo family's ancestral pastry recipe to him."

Wu Jiang was not reassured by this. Instead, he frowned. "Boss, we really don't have any ideas about the shop. Since Xiao Tie has become Aunt Mo's master, he will listen to her from now on."

Ye Mingzhu waved her hand: "Let me finish what I'm saying."

Wu Jiang swallowed and listened to Ye Mingzhu continue.

"You know, the Mo family has no sons, only two daughters. It was Mo Wan who spoke well of Wu Tie, so that he could learn how to make snacks from Aunt Mo." She paused, and Wu Jiang nodded continuously, meaning that she was right.

"Mo Wan is three years older than Wu Tie, but they get along well. A few days ago, Wu Tie created a snack with Mo Wan's help."

After hearing this, Wu Jiang understood Ye Mingzhu's intention. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Does the boss mean that the Mo family wants Wu Tie to marry Mo Wan?"

Seeing that he had guessed it, Ye Mingzhu simply told Aunt Mo what she was thinking: "Aunt Mo will treat Wu Tie as her own son in the future and pass on all the Mo family's pastry recipes to him. She has only one request, which is that one of Wu Tie's future sons be named Mo. If Wu Tie only has one son, then the youngest daughter can also be named Mo."

Wu Jiang was really stunned. He just wanted his son to learn some skills and didn't think about selling his son.

His face flushed red, and after a while he uttered, "Boss, I only have two sons. If Xiaotie marries into your family..."

He couldn't continue speaking, and Ye Mingzhu waved her hand.

"Auntie Mo didn't ask Wu Tie to marry into the family. She only asked that one of Wu Tie's future children have the surname Mo. He will still be a descendant of your Wu family."
