Zhou Qiongyue pondered for a while following Gulan's words and had to admit that Gulan was right. It was far from too late.
As soon as Zhou Qiongyue figured it out, she felt sleepy. She closed the notebook in her hand and put it on the side of the bed.
Before going to sleep, he did not forget to praise Gulan and said, "You are right. I will give you the silver bracelet on my dressing table as a reward. Go and get it yourself!"
"Thank you, Miss! Now it's my turn to be so happy that I can't sleep." Gulan thanked Zhou Qiongyue while covering her with a quilt.
Zhou Wencan was still very proactive. Just two days after Jin told her daughter about it, Zhou Wencan mentioned this matter to Marquis Cheng'en.
Marquis Cheng'en agreed without hesitation, so quickly that even Zhou Wencan was suspicious.
Seeing his eldest son's suspicious look, Marquis Cheng'en said bluntly, "I don't want to see her make enemies for the Marquis' Mansion in Yuan'an. It would be good for her to go out and hide for a while."
Marquis Cheng'en felt that if it were in the past, Yue Yatou would have to kneel in the ancestral temple. But now that the marriage was granted, and she was to be the prince's principal wife, her rank would be higher than his grandfather's, so he didn't want to be the bad guy.
Zhou Wencan didn't care whether his father's words were nice or not, as long as his goal was achieved.
Zhou Wencan looked at his father, Marquis Cheng'en, expectantly, "What about mother?"
Seeing his eldest son like this, Marquis Cheng'en Zhou Moyang could only sigh helplessly, thinking that children are all debts.
Marquis Cheng'en thought about how he had invited Old Master Xie to tea yesterday, but Old Master Xie didn't respond, and he felt a headache. "I'll go talk to your mother and ask her to let Yue girl behave herself at the farm."
"Thank you, father!" Zhou Wencan didn't care what the reason was! As long as his father agreed, it would be fine.
So Zhou Qiongyue soon received the notice that she could go to the manor. When her mother first told her that she could live in the hot spring manor, she thought it didn't matter whether she went or not.
Ever since she decided to go to the hot spring village to study vegetable cultivation, she has been looking forward to going there as soon as possible.
The only difference was that the person who sent her off changed from fifth brother to father. Zhou Wencan didn't ride a horse, but took a carriage with his daughter. Of course, the servants were also in the carriage.
Zhou Wencan gave his daughter a lot of advice along the way, but he didn't tell her to stay away from trouble.
His ideas were different from those of Marquis Cheng'en and Jin. The men worked so hard outside, wasn't it just so the women at home could live well? Being too cautious about everything was tiring.
As a father, he hopes his daughter can live a more free life.
Moreover, he felt that his daughter was sensible and not the kind of spoiled young lady who would cause trouble without thinking.
Zhou Wencan is a person who believes that if rights are not used, they will become invalid. If you use the favors, then use them. What's the point of accumulating so much favor?
If something truly serious happens, relatives won't refuse to lend a hand. For those embarrassing situations, just be more conscious and don't burden others.
Zhou Qiongyue also felt her father's love. Although he and Jin had completely different approaches, they both loved her. She felt very content.
"Dad, you and Mom are both so good to me!"
Zhou Wencan felt so soft-hearted when he saw his daughter, who had grown up into a girl, still pulling his sleeves and acting coquettishly like she did when she was a child.
"I've worked so hard to raise you. If you don't live well, your mother and I will be so sad!"
Zhou Wencan has four sons. Apart from his eldest son whom he cares about most, it is only this daughter that he carefully raised.
He had no time for the other three, especially the two bastards, who spent more time with his wife than with him.
For a busy man like Zhou Wencan, time equals love. The more time he devotes to this, the more love he receives. This shows how much this daughter holds in his heart.
"Don't worry, Dad. I will be more cautious in the future and I will live a good life." Zhou Qiongyue did not regret her previous impulsiveness, but not regretting it did not mean that she would do the same thing in the future.
She still agreed with her mother's words. Some things don't have to be done openly. The brain is a good thing.
Zhou Wencan took advantage of his rest period to send his daughter to the manor. After sending her there, he supported her and carefully checked the manor's defenses before hurriedly returning in a carriage.
The main reason was that Zhou Wencan had to go to court the next day, otherwise he would definitely have to stay at the hot spring villa to watch over his daughter for a few days before he could feel at ease.
Even so, Zhou Wencan left a lot of people at the manor, telling his daughter to send someone back to Yuan'an to find him if she had any problems.
Zhou Qiongyue looked at her father nagging and worrying about this and that, but she not only did not feel annoyed, she even felt quite happy.
She secretly set a goal in her heart that she would make sure her parents and aunt could eat green vegetables in winter.
Only after Zhou Wencan's carriage disappeared from sight did Zhou Qiongyue lead her men to clean up the farm.
Luo Yong was also very understanding. Knowing that the young lady wanted to know the specific situation on the farm, he did not put on airs and directly lived with the servants on the farm.
With his skillful dealings with others, it didn't take long for him to become familiar with the affairs of the village.
Zhou Qiongyue also took Gulan and others to check the accounts on the farm. Everything was normal. The original head of the farm was also an honest man named Ji San.
Ji San said he had to be honest! Before this manor came into Miss Zhou's hands, the Empress, the Second Prince, and the Fifth Prince all sent people to criticize him. As a servant, he couldn't bear the wrath of any of them. He could only be honest and manage the hot spring manor.
The results of Luo Yong's undercover investigation were similar to those of Zhou Qiongyue and others' open investigation.
Since Ji San was honest and Zhou Qiongyue also had his indenture, she had no intention of changing the village head. After all, the people under her control were already quite tight.
But Zhou Qiongyue did not let Luo Yong go back, mainly because she wanted to experiment with growing vegetables. Luo Yong was in charge of farming, so she had someone to discuss things with.
There are always more ideas when three people discuss something than when two people discuss something.
With Zhou Qiongyue's anticipation, Luo Yong and Ji San began various experiments. After a month of hard work, they finally found a solution, and a batch of vegetables they planted finally grew into seedlings.
Of course, there were even more seeds that didn't germinate. Fortunately, Zhou Qiongyue was mentally prepared from the beginning. When she left Yuan'an, she even asked Gulan to bring all the profits from her jewelry shop with her, otherwise it wouldn't be enough for them to make ends meet.
Zhou Qiongyue looked at the lush green seedlings and felt extremely happy. Although she didn't know how to grow vegetables, her subordinates knew how to do it!
"Ji Zhuangtou, Luo Zhuangtou, you two have done a great job. Take good care of these vegetables. When they grow up, I will reward you handsomely."
As for why the reward wasn't given now, Zhou Qiongyue silently said in her heart that she didn't have any money. But she looked at the seedlings in front of her and felt that she should have some soon.
