"Then thank you very much for informing me, Young Master Zhou. Cai Dacheng did come to our house before, and even wanted to take over the construction of our new house. I never expected that he would turn around and approach the Fu family instead. Fortunately, we refused, otherwise, this matter would have been so troublesome!" Gu Shouxin said with a smile.
“Young Master Zhou, since they are looking for two children and have acknowledged Cai Dacheng, it’s even less likely that they have anything to do with me. Cai Dacheng said that we are not blood-related siblings. It seems that I am the real daughter of the Cai family!” Cai Xiaolian said.
"That's good!" Lu Zheng nodded, then took out several packets from his pocket. "Second Uncle Gu, Aunt Lian, and my great-uncle gave me a few more packets of seeds. Last time he heard that the ones you planted had already sprouted, and he trusts you quite a bit, so he planned to have me let you plant these seeds and try them out."
"Does Master Zhou know what kind of seeds these are?" Cai Xiaolian asked curiously.
“Uncle doesn’t know either. These are all things he obtained before. Only a few are left. He had the people in the manor try planting them before, but they didn’t succeed, so he asked his nephew to bring them to you to try,” Lu Zheng said.
He wasn't lying about that. Ever since his mother passed away, his maternal grandfather and grandmother had been at odds, and his grandfather, having nowhere to vent his frustrations, went to sea.
It took nearly ten years to travel to many places and collect a lot of seeds.
The seeds obtained from the Zhou family's warehouse have been almost entirely used up, and there aren't many left now, but his maternal grandfather is willing to give them to him.
Having experienced his past life, Lu Zheng knew what was inside these seeds, but he didn't recognize them.
He saw that the three members of the Gu family had changed and were genuinely devoted to Gu Xin. Therefore, he was willing to give them credit, since Gu Ershu was going to take the imperial examination and pursue an official career.
The current emperor values agriculture quite a bit, so it would be good to leave an impression on him.
After saying a few more words, Lu Zheng left.
After everyone left, the couple lit a few more lamps and called Gu Nian and Gu Xin over.
“Niannian, come and see what these seeds are. This one is watermelon seeds, right?” Cai Xiaolian asked.
She couldn't recognize them all.
"Oh my! Mother, where did you find all these seeds?" Gu Nian looked at them and saw that there were seven kinds of seeds in total.
Among them are seeds of loofah, tomato, cowpea, green bean, and also a type that is indeed a watermelon seed.
There were two more, but Gu Nian couldn't recognize them.
She recognized the vegetables in front of her; they had grown them in their lab before. She seemed to remember that these four types were introduced from abroad, but she was unsure about the loofah. Some people said it originated in China, while others said it was introduced from abroad.
However, this is all a fictional world, and who knows where it came from?
"Father, Mother, did Young Master Zhou bring this?" Gu Xin asked.
“Yes, he told us to try planting them. He said he has many other plants at his home that he doesn’t recognize,” Gu Shouxin nodded.
"It feels like Master Zhou's place is a treasure trove of vegetable seeds!" Cai Xiaolian said with a smile.
Gu Nian raised an eyebrow, recalling in her mind that Master Zhou in the book only produced potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, and the original chili peppers, and it seemed that nothing else was mentioned!
"Sister, let's plant them tomorrow! The potatoes that Young Master Zhou brought are so delicious! Maybe we can eat these too!" Gu Xin said happily. Gu Nian's simple potato dishes brought out Gu Xin's hidden foodie nature.
