Chapter 38 Invitation to Yingtian Academy
Qian Ming did find her some good fields.
The land is on the outskirts of the city.
Although it is in the suburbs, the capital is well connected and the roads are wide and smooth, so it only takes more than half an hour to get to the suburbs by carriage.
There are also many private villas and manors of the powerful and wealthy in Beijing.
Recently, many dignitaries have come to the villas on the outskirts of the city to escape the summer heat.
Cheng Shuyi bought half of a mountain on the outskirts of the city and 700 acres of land at the foot of the mountain.
In the capital, where wealthy people gather, there are many wealthy families and people who are often rewarded with thousands of acres of fertile land.
Her family property is not worth mentioning at all.
But what she grows must be something that no one else has.
And it seemed like God was helping her.
She was afraid that she couldn't farm without rain, so it started raining on her way back from checking the land.
After returning from the outskirts of Beijing with Qian Ming, Cheng Shuyi got off the carriage on the other side of the moat and stopped by the Lin family.
Ask Lin Yu's family's escort agency to help her transport food.
She had just left the Lin family when heavy rain suddenly began to fall in Shengjing City, where the weather had been abnormal for more than half a month.
The sun hasn't set yet.
On the surface of the moat, bean-sized raindrops fell, splashing water and creating a golden scene.
The people who were busy outside quickened their pace and looked for a place to shelter from the rain.
Cheng Shuyi thought that his home was only a bridge away, so he went home in the rain.
But the rain was too heavy.
She was soaked.
She ran home before it rained. The two little kids who were not wet in the rain saw that she was wet, and they also ran into the rain.
The sun and rain are still hot.
Cheng Shuyi had no time to stop them, so he just started a water fight with them.
In modern times, she often takes her two children to the children's swimming pool.
In ancient times, there was only a moat next to the city.
The moat was deep, so she forbade the two children to play in the water near the shore.
Pei Yanli walked in holding an umbrella.
The sound of rain falling on the oil-paper umbrella was deep and thick. Before he could say anything, the mother and her two children heard the sound of the umbrella and turned around.
"father--"
My sister got up from the grass and rushed towards Pei Yanli, covered in grass debris and rain.
A bear hug left a water stain on Pei Yanli's dry robe.
My brother didn't run because his foot injury hadn't healed yet.
She just held up her little hands to catch the rain, and then sprinkled it over to Pei Yanli when he came over.
"Dad, let's play together..."
My sister rolled on the grass again.
Not girly at all.
Pei Yanli walked on the stone slabs in the yard to the eaves and looked at the mother and her two children having fun in the rain.
There is more doting in the tone of blame.
"Shuyi, how could you allow your child to run wild like this? Be careful not to catch a cold."
Cheng Shuyi dodged the attacks of the two children while speaking for them.
"It's a rare opportunity for children to have fun, so let them have as much fun as they want. I'll make some ginger soup for them later."
"Shuyi, watch this!"
My sister was not satisfied with the small amount of rain, so she scooped a bucket of water from the water tank.
It was poured directly onto Cheng Shuyi.
But because she was too small, most of the water in the bucket splashed onto herself.
My brother was holding his stomach and laughing.
As if the laughter was contagious, my sister covered her head with the water scoop and started giggling too.
The mother and her two children played in the rain until it stopped.
Pei Yanli watched under the eaves for a while, then went to the kitchen to boil water.
By dinner time, the mother and her two children had all cleaned up.
"I'm going to wait and see. The academy will be closed in a couple of days. How about I take you guys to farm outside the city? How long has it been since you had your farmwork class?"
Cheng Shuyi said to the two children.
When they were in kindergarten, the two children had handicraft classes.
Although he didn't expect them to really grow anything, Cheng Shuyi still hoped that they would know some farming skills.
Cheng Shuyi initially planned to grow rice, vegetables, and fruits on the newly purchased land.
There are fruits for sale in the shop now, so the children still have something to eat.
When she is gone, she hopes that her children will still have vegetables and fruits to eat.
This is also an opportunity for the agricultural development of the Great Sheng Dynasty.
"Okay, I want to go!" My sister raised her hand and said, "I want to plant sweet corn, Shuyi, I want to eat corn cakes."
"Okay, I'll do it for you tomorrow morning."
When Pei Yanli heard that his two children were going to farm, he was not happy again.
"My children don't need to do such rough labor. Just ask the tenants to grow whatever they want to eat."
The Prince Regent’s Palace has many farms and countless tenants.
When do you ever need to do it yourself?
"They are just going to the fields to play, Your Highness, you don't have to worry." Cheng Shuyi said.
A five-year-old child is not even as tall as a hoe.
By then, we will still be playing in the mud by the field.
Cheng Shuyi did this just to let the children experience farming and teach them to cherish food.
"Why are you always so frugal in educating your children?" Pei Yanli really didn't understand.
It was the golden abacus last time, and it is the same this time.
Cheng Shuyi opened his eyes innocently and said, "You know it, it's because of diligence and thrift."
Pei Yanli dug his own hole and jumped into it.
Cheng Shuyi didn't refuse him a chance, "Your Highness, I'll leave all the lessons the children will learn in the future, including music, chess, calligraphy, painting, horseback riding, archery, rituals and music, to you."
"They are naughty, and I hope you can be more patient with them."
The two children still have a long way to go in their growth.
Pei Yanli said nonchalantly, "You said that as if you were going to leave the child to me to raise alone."
He said it unintentionally, but Cheng Shuyi lowered his head.
Tears welled up in my eyes.
The rain started to fall again at night.
The rain continued until dawn.
After the rain, Shengjing City enjoyed a rare moment of coolness, but it only lasted for half a day.
After the sun dried the rain water on the ground, the weather became hot again and people were sweating.
Cheng Shuyi still followed Qian Ming to look after the shop today.
Most of the shops they looked at were street-side shops, both on Changsheng Street and on both sides of the moat.
Cheng Shuyi also took a fancy to an inconspicuous house in a deep alley.
"Manager Cheng, why did you buy this house?"
Qian Ming was puzzled.
They already have a house to live in, why should they buy another one?
The more Cheng Shuyi looked at the house, the more satisfied he became. The house was very inconspicuous and difficult to find.
This is the most suitable place for birthday gifts for two children aged six to eighteen.
"Manager Qian, I want this house. Please help me register it with the government as soon as possible." Cheng Shuyi said, "Also, don't tell anyone that I bought this house."
After looking at the shop.
When Cheng Shuyi returned to Darun Vanguard, He Guangzhi handed her an invitation.
"An invitation from Yingtian Academy?"
Cheng Shuyi's face was full of surprise and confusion.
She has no connection with Yingtian Academy, so why would Yingtian Academy send her an invitation?
He Guangzhi boldly guessed, "I'm afraid we should ask the owner to donate some ice to Yingtian Academy."
"Donate ice..."
Cheng Shuyi needs to think about this.
