Chapter 259 Mr. Chen, who loves farming!
With the donations, the road construction on Qin Qingyuan's side is proceeding in full swing.
Qin Zhizhi's farm is also bustling with activity every day. Mr. Chen is very diligent and studious. After arriving at the farm, he follows Old Man Qin to learn how to farm seriously every day.
Especially when he saw the watermelons, strawberries and corn on the farm, Master Chen was very excited.
He asked Qin Shan to arrange a place for him to live, and he lived on the farm, picking fruits with everyone every day.
He usually returned home once every few days. The first time he returned, Old Man Qin picked some watermelons, strawberries and corn for him.
The second son of the Chen family initially refused to take it, but Old Man Qin smiled and persuaded him, "Take it home and feed it to the children. It's all grown on our farm and isn't worth much."
"Uncle Qin, this corn is for the emperor to save for seed. If I eat it, will it affect the estimated yield?"
Young Master Chen was very surprised when he saw the corn, and was afraid that picking the corn now would affect the yield per mu in the future.
"Hahaha, Second Young Master, just take it back without worry. See, the two acres over there are reserved for seeds, and you can taste the ones over here."
The second master pointed to the two acres of land inside and explained to Master Chen with a smile.
"We've already given instructions for the two acres of corn. Zhizhi wants to keep them for seed. Don't worry, no one on the farm will touch them."
The second master's words made Mr. Chen feel relieved. As long as there was no impact, he would not be able to take the corn.
"But please be careful when you take it back, Second Young Master. We only grew so little, and if we eat it ourselves, there won't be much left after giving it away. I'm afraid everyone will want it, and there won't be enough."
"Yes, we'll be able to eat it when it's planted on a large scale next year."
The three cute old men explained to Mr. Chen Er that they really liked Mr. Chen Er, who was down-to-earth, loved farming, and humbly asked for advice every day.
"Don't worry, I know the seriousness of the matter."
Young Master Chen felt that these people were so kind to him that they were willing to give him such precious things.
Young Master Chen was afraid that others would see it, so he pulled some grass and put it on the quilt basket containing the corn to cover it, which made a few people laugh.
After returning to the Chen Mansion, the second young master had the watermelons, strawberries and corn carefully moved in.
I changed into clean clothes and brought strawberries and watermelon to pay my respects to my mother.
Mrs. Chen was very happy to see her son come back with fresh strawberries and watermelons.
Seeing that her son was a little tanned, but in good spirits, Mrs. Chen finally felt relieved.
The whole family ate the corn that night and they all praised it highly.
Mr. Chen Er asked his family to keep a low profile, and everyone smiled and nodded in agreement.
Lord Chen was happy that his son, who had never been flexible, had actually learned to be flexible after just a few days at the farm. He even brought things home and asked them to keep a low profile.
Lord Chen knew that he must be living happily at the manor, and that the people there treated him sincerely.
After finishing his shift the next day, Lord Chen went to thank Gu Jinghuai and the Qin brothers.
The few of them had been very busy recently, and today's things had just been almost arranged. Lord Chen invited them sincerely, so the few of them agreed to go for a drink together.
Gu Jinghuai felt that they were all too young, so he asked his uncle if he wanted to join them, and Gu Ting readily agreed.
Lord Chen was extremely puzzled. When did the prince consort become so easy to talk to? He was actually able to invite the prince consort to drink. It was really a blessing in disguise.
The reason why Gu Jinghuai and others accepted Lord Chen's invitation was not only because they were free today, but also for another reason.
Qin Zhizhi likes to grow things, and there may be more opportunities for her to cooperate with the Grand Minister of Agriculture in the future, so she should establish a good relationship with the Grand Minister of Agriculture early on.
As for Gu Ting, he just went there to join in the fun, so that his nephew wouldn't come back and his mother would say that he didn't work hard at dinner.
Gu Ting has been free for so many years. Ever since his nephew passed the imperial examination and entered the Hanlin Academy, he has become the yardstick for his mother to measure whether he is doing a good job.
If the mother finds that her eldest grandson is busy but her son is not, she will think that he is not working hard.
The most common thing Gu Ting said to Gu Jinghuai now was, "Jinghuai, our family is doing well. You don't have to work so hard. Zhizhi is still pregnant. You should come back early every day to accompany her. Pregnant women are prone to emotional instability."
When Gu Jinghuai heard that pregnant women are prone to emotional instability, he became even more worried. Except for being on duty every day, he would basically go home to accompany Qin Zhizhi after finishing his shift.
The old lady felt that her eldest grandson was a truly qualified and good husband and was extremely satisfied.
Several people went back after having dinner at the restaurant. Except for Gu Jinghuai, everyone else had a few drinks.
Especially Qin Qingyuan, his head was already hurting.
On the way back, Gu Jinghuai refused to ride in the same carriage with the three of them, saying that his wife could not stand the smell of alcohol.
Gu Ting knew that his niece-in-law was delicate and might really not be able to stand the smell of alcohol. He originally wanted to ride in the same carriage with Gu Jinghuai, but now he took Qin Qingyuan directly to his own carriage.
Qin Qingyun thought that Gu Ting was worried about his elder brother who had drunk a little too much, so he took him to the Gu family's carriage, so Qin Qingyun got on the Qin family's carriage and went back.
Gu Jinghuai went back directly in a carriage. He told the driver to go faster, fearing that Qin Zhizhi would be anxiously waiting at home.
It turned out that he was overthinking it. When he returned, Qin Zhizhi had already gone to bed early.
After hearing the report from the servant, Gu Jinghuai smiled and went to take a shower. After making sure that there was no smell of alcohol on his body, he returned to the bedroom and hugged his wife to sleep.
Gu Ting was also slightly drunk today, but Qin Qingyuan was better than him.
When the carriage arrived at the gate of the Princess's Mansion, Gu Ting politely asked if he wanted to go in for a cup of sobering soup. As a result, Qin Qingyuan, who was a little confused, followed him in.
The doorman saw that they were his master and future son-in-law, so he let them in without asking any questions.
Qin Qingyuan sent Gu Ting to the gate of his and the princess's courtyard and then went back. It was not appropriate to go in and pay a visit to the princess at this time.
Gu Ting's Xiao Si supported his master, but was worried about his son-in-law.
"Sir, I'll find someone to guide you!"
"No need. I'm familiar with the house and won't get lost. Just send my father-in-law in quickly and I'll go back by myself."
Qin Qingyuan refused Xiao Si's offer to lead the way and prepared to go back alone.
But as he walked, he arrived at the gate of Gu Yunfei's yard.
When the gatekeeper saw that it was Qin Qingyuan, she bowed in surprise and greeted him, "Master Junma, why are you here to see the princess at this time? What happened?"
Qin Qingyuan instantly became much more sober, but now it has come, how could he leave?
"Madam, please go in and report that I have something to ask the princess!"
The nanny smiled and said, "Master, please come in with me. The prince is here with the princess!"
The nanny personally led the way and took Qin Qingyuan to meet her own princess.
"Thank you, Ma'am!" Qin Qingyuan followed the ma'am into the yard somewhat embarrassedly.
He felt that the way Mammy looked at him was different from usual, full of teasing.
