Chapter 279 Chapter 279 Replenish your body?
Qin Run patted Xu Yunfan's back and said, "You're sweating. Let me get some water to wipe it off for you. This way you'll sleep more comfortably."
The weather in June was already hot, and Xu Yunfan loved cleanliness, so his body was sticky and he was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable.
Xu Yunfan turned sideways with his eyes closed, and with a force he pulled the man down. He buried his head in Qin Run's arms and rubbed it, muttering softly, "Qin Run, you're so nice!"
Until Qin Run finished packing Xu Yunfan, looked at the yellow sky outside the window, pulled the curtains, and hugged Xu Yunfan, feeling completely satisfied.
"Are the two still not awake?" Lord Qin Er asked Qin Feiyu downstairs.
Qin Feiyu coughed awkwardly, "Uncle, it's only noon, how could they get up so quickly?"
It's not even time to wake up yet, so you can tell how late they stayed up last night.
But I can understand that, a night of love is worth a thousand gold.
When Second Lord Qin saw Qin Feiyu's embarrassed look, he felt embarrassed too. "Then don't disturb them. Let them have a good rest."
Xiao Hengzhi smiled and said, "I'll take care of those people outside. Is my father-in-law going back home? I'll prepare the carriage."
"It's time to go back. There are a lot of things to do at home." Lord Qin II couldn't help shaking his head as he listened to the noise outside.
Xu Yunfan's wedding attracted a lot of attention. Many people came today. Some wanted to cooperate with Xu Yunfan, and some wanted to make friends with Xu Yunfan. Even Qin Qian and Qin Kun were called away by Eunuch Fu early in the morning.
Last night, Fu Qingyu was among a group of guests. The betrothal gifts prepared by Xu Yunfan made not only the other families jealous, but even Fu Qingyu was very excited.
Of course, Fu Qingyu would not be so shameless as to seize Xu Yunfan's factory, but he was extremely concerned about the so-called book factory.
There was no way out. Zheng Ke reported every detail of his cooperation with Xu Yunfan to Fu Qingyu without missing a word.
When listening to what Zheng Ke said about the cooperation, Fu Qingyu was skeptical about Xu Yunfan's words. After secretly attending a wedding yesterday, Fu Qingyu believed it.
He was skeptical about what Jing Mingze said before, but now he has to believe it.
He had not only heard about the sweet and sticky corn sold in Yunrun Restaurant and shops, but had also eaten them.
When the deputy eunuch opened the food box and revealed a few handfuls of corn, a sweet aroma filled the air. Fu Qingyu picked up the plump, long and big sweet corn and looked at it for a long time, feeling so excited.
As soon as he took a bite, Fu Qingyu's eyes lit up instantly.
What Jing Mingze said was true.
He said that Xu Yunfan had a way to increase crop yields, and he was not bragging.
If every handful of corn kernels were this plump and neatly grown, why would people worry about not having enough to eat?
It is said that Xu Yunfan made a fortune just by selling the sweet corn grown on the dozen acres of his farm, even if a handful of cooked corn only sold for two cents. Not to mention, this guy also introduced corn and pork ribs soup, corn pancakes, corn jelly, corn juice, corn syrup and other appetizing delicacies in the restaurant. Customers line up to buy them every day from morning to night. No one dared to imagine how much money Xu Yunfan made just by selling sweet corn.
Yesterday, Fu Qingyu went to the farm to see that there were not only fish in the rice fields, but also hundreds of ducks raised in pens. On the hillside, the tenant farmers not only planted corn, but also soybeans and other crops. Xu Yunfan said that this planting method is called intercropping.
Fu Qingyu looked at the lush green countryside on the hillside for a long time, reluctant to leave.
Look, this morning, he was quite perceptive and didn't call Xu Yunfan, but only called Qin Qian and his brother into the palace.
In the end, facing his question, Qin Qian and Qin Kun were even more confused than he was. They even turned back to ask Fu Qingyu, "Your Majesty, have you really seen it clearly? Raising fish in rice fields? Will there still be rice to harvest?"
Fu Qingyu: "..."
Wasn't that the question he asked them? Why was he asking it back in a different way?
If he wants to know the answer, why does he need to ask?
It's not like I'm idle.
"This is absolutely true. Steward Sheng of the Tianzhuang personally took me to see it. I saw it clearly and it was real. How could it be false? The fish inside are estimated to be around three pounds. I can't be wrong."
Since Qin Qian and the other two didn't know, Fu Qingyu knew. I'm afraid that Qin Run and Xu Yunfan had never told their elders about the farm.
Fu Qingyu left the palace again.
The farm is now Xu Yunfan's farm. Except for the tenant farmers, no outsiders are allowed to enter.
Even the guests who came yesterday could only stroll around the food city. Without Xu Yunfan and Qin Run, they could not enter the manor.
Look, Fu Qingyu found Qin Mu. Qin Mu was Fu Qingyu's nephew and the only little brother in the Fu family. Now that Fu Qingxu had found his son, he naturally had to take Qin Mu to the palace to meet Fu Qingyu.
Qin Mu didn't know who Fu Qingyu was. Without waiting for Fu Qingxu to introduce himself, Fu Qingyu said, "I am your third uncle."
Just yesterday, when he was playing with Qin's children at the farm, Fu Qingyu called him from a distance and asked if he could be taken into the farm to have a look. Qin Mu didn't think much about it and took Fu Qingyu in directly. When Manager Sheng saw the person coming, he knelt down immediately and didn't dare to stop him.
"It's useless for us to go in. We still have to call Yunfan or Runge'er over. Without them, we can't find out the truth." Qin Qian stood in front of the gate of the farm and was not in a hurry to go in.
Qin Kun: "Go ahead, it's already this late." The two of them should wake up no matter how late it is.
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Xu Yunfan woke up slowly, and the warmth of another person was no longer around him.
They really played too much last night. He pestered Qin Run to make trouble in almost every place, and finally went back to bed. No wonder he was so tired.
Xu Yunfan wiped his face, went into the bathroom, turned on the shower, and took a cold shower.
The VIP room in the restaurant is not just for fun. Many things in it are not available in the Dayan Dynasty, such as the faucet, shower head, bathroom, etc. Last night, the people from the Qin, Fang, and Xiao families almost didn't know how to use them. Fortunately, Qi Xiu Ze and others personally taught them how to use them.
Several families took a curious look at each other. Look, they were reluctant to go back this morning and were still staying downstairs.
As soon as Xu Yunfan came downstairs, Lord Qin had someone bring out a large bowl of chicken soup. "You must be starving. Drink it quickly. This is the chicken soup that Grandpa had someone simmer for an hour. It's very nourishing."
You have to make up for it!
Look, Qin Run went downstairs early and followed Qin Kun and the others to the farm. Xu Yunfan had just gotten up and still looked a little weak. No wonder Qin Run asked him to stew the chicken after he went downstairs.
"Grandpa, are you serious?"
Xu Yunfan felt his self-esteem was hurt.
Compared to him, shouldn't Qin Run be the one who deserves the compensation?
He is the top attacker, so seven times a night is no problem for him.
Forget it, I won’t brag anymore. Seven times is indeed a bit too much.
Thinking about how tired he was this morning, and how Qin Run still brought him water so that he could sleep more comfortably, and how he got up earlier than him in the afternoon, Xu Yunfan sat at the table with a constipated look on his face, drinking his soup obediently, "Where is Run brother?"
"Your grandfather said he wanted to go check out the farm and asked Run'er to show them the way. Oh, and some of the people who came to the wedding banquet yesterday came looking for me this morning. I sent them back before you guys got up. Do you want to meet them?"
"No, they came here just for those things. Where are Daddy and the others?"
Lord Qin was happy when he talked about this. "Yunfan, the factory you gave me yesterday... no, it's the one you and Runge own. Your father and his family went to see it this morning. They want to arrange for some workers to go in."
Xu Yunfan nodded and said, "Just follow your lead."
"No matter how you ask us to do it, it is also your property."
"I have already taken it as a betrothal gift..."
Before Xu Yunfan could finish, Lord Qin shook his head and said, "That's another matter. We can't accept anything you give us, whether it's from the book factory or anything else."
Xu Yunfan was a little confused. "Why? What did I do wrong?"
Could it be that he got up later than Qin Run today so grandpa thinks he is good-looking but useless?
"Grandpa, actually I'm not like this usually. I rarely get up so late."
"What are you imagining?" Seeing Xu Yunfan hurriedly explaining, Lord Qin laughed and squinted at the chicken legs and wings sticking out of the big bowl. "Hurry up and eat the meat. Just make do with what you have for now. We'll make dinner when your grandfather and the others come back."
"You don't have to think too much. Our Qin family didn't refuse the things you gave us, but we asked Qin Run to take them all. Over the years, Run'er has been far away in Dali Village. We couldn't help him at all and couldn't give him shelter. Instead, he raised An'er for your father. No matter how we make up for it, it will never be enough."
The betrothal gift given by Xu Yunfan was too expensive, how could they feel comfortable taking it? So they simply let Qin Run take all the money Xu Yunfan gave back to Xiao Qin's house, which could be considered as another supplement to their dowry. No matter how high Xu Yunfan rose in the future, Qin Run would feel more confident with Xu Yunfan by her side.
Lord Qin sighed as he spoke, "Married boys and girls have more dowries and are more valued by their husband's families."
Since Qin Run's identity was exposed, many people have wanted to take advantage of him. Some of them, seeing that Qin Run was unmoved, came to find their elders.
Since ancient times, most marriages were arranged by parents' orders and matchmakers' words. Some newlyweds had never met each other before getting married, and blind marriages were common.
Many people would think that the Qin family is a general's family after all, so why would they let their son marry a man from overseas? Throughout history, when wealthy families marry their daughters off, who wouldn't pay attention to a match between the two families?
In addition, what kind of education did the children of aristocratic families receive since childhood?
Among these young masters from aristocratic families, only a very small number can be compatible with others just because of their appearance.
So everyone couldn't help but speculate.
"Didn't Xu Yunfan say he was a young man? How could such a person be interested in a boy from the village?"
Wasn’t Qin Run just an ordinary village boy before?
"Yes, since ancient times, scholars have been the most heartless. My son is a military commander, so he is a perfect match for Master Qin."
Some people deliberately reminded the Qin family in a tactful way to let them be careful against Xu Yunfan. This person might be someone sent by the country. It was because he knew Qin Run's true identity that he approached Qin Run and infiltrated the Qin family.
In short, each of them transformed themselves into officials from the Ministry of Justice, and their reasoning was well-founded. Lord Qin and his companions almost believed it just by listening.
They said so much, but they never thought that even if Xu Yunfan was a young master from a noble family, what did it matter? Now he came to Dayan Dynasty alone. Without his family, the title of a child from a noble family no longer existed. Sometimes, identity is not given by oneself, but by the family, outsiders, and society.
As the old saying goes, a phoenix in distress is no better than a chicken.
Xu Yunfan appeared in Dali Village alone, penniless, with nothing but a pretty face, no place to stay, and with an injured foot. The gap between him and Qin Run was actually just that.
Both Lord Qin and Qin Feiyu knew that they had no right to interfere in Qin Run's marriage, and no outsider could make a decision for Qin Run without going through his parents.
It would be great if the two of them were a good match, but if not, as long as Qin Run insisted and decided on Xu Yunfan, all they could do was support him.
Some people have big hearts and fall in love with everyone they meet. On the contrary, some people have small hearts and once they have one person living with them, there is no room for anyone else.
And Qin Run is the latter.
With Xu Yunfan in his mind, there was naturally no room for anyone else. How could Lord Qin and the others not agree?
Xu Yunfan almost choked while grabbing a chicken leg. So, Lord Qin was worried that he would take a concubine in the future?
"Grandpa, are you afraid that I'll have three wives and four concubines in the future?"
"Can you?" Lord Qin asked with a smile.
Xu Yunfan swallowed the meat in his mouth, blinked his eyes, and was very puzzled. "Grandpa, am I not married into the family? Here, a man who marries into the family can have three wives and four concubines?"
Lord Qin exclaimed in shock, "What? Marrying into the wife's family?"
Qin Run had mentioned it before, but Qin Run said that he was getting married, so they let Xu Yunfan prepare for the wedding.
"Yes, I'm marrying into the family. Didn't Brother Run tell you about this?" Xu Yunfan thought Qin Run had explained this matter clearly to several elders.
Lord Qin was stunned. He stared at Xu Yunfan blankly and shook his head. "He mentioned it, but... since you're marrying into my family, why are you still giving me a betrothal gift? Don't you know that marrying into my family doesn't require a betrothal gift?"
"I know! Although I am marrying into the family, I am not a man or a woman. I can't just not prepare anything because I am marrying into the family. I still need Run Ge to give me a betrothal gift. Besides, I have the ability, so why shouldn't I give it?"
Xu Yunfan thought to himself, whether he married into the family or got married, wouldn't they still have to live together in the future?
Besides, Qin Run’s identity is there. If he doesn’t have a betrothal gift, people will laugh at him, right?
A good young man from the general's mansion doesn't want a young master who is of equal status, but instead wants a man who lives off him.
Although face is worthless, but he is capable, why should he let his husband be looked down upon?
Lord Qin wiped his face and said, "Brother Run never told us about this."
Xu Yunfan: "Where's Daddy? Daddy doesn't know? Wasn't he the one who helped us move our household registration to the capital?"
Lord Qin looked at Xu Yunfan quietly for a few seconds. "Your father didn't say that Run'er and An'er are not registered with us. Your father..."
As for the matter of letting Qin Run return to his ancestral home, Qin Feiyu had discussed it with several of their elders.
It is true that Qin Run's surname is Qin, but he has Xiao Hengzhi's blood flowing in his body. Qin Feiyu does not want to register Qin Run in the Qin family's household registration before discussing it with Xiao Hengzhi. Therefore, even though Qin Run's household registration was moved to the capital, they are still on the same household registration, not on the Qin family's household registration.
In fact, Qin Run didn't care about these things. He didn't take Xu Yunfan's suggestion of marrying into his wife's family to heart, and he didn't even think that if they had a child in the future, the child would have to take his surname.
It doesn’t matter whether the couple marries into the wife’s family or not. What matters is that they are both on the same household registration.
Xu Yunfan understood what Qin Feiyu meant and said with a smile: "Forget it, I am already married into the family anyway. If you want to have three wives and four concubines in the future, you will have to leave the house empty-handed. I don't want that. I want to live off the man."
Lord Qin: “…”
In my entire life, this is the first time I have seen a man eager to become a son-in-law and talk about living off his wife so confidently, as if it were a great thing to be able to do so.
It is true that there are all kinds of birds in the forest and all kinds of people in the world.
For Xu Yunfan, being able to live off a woman is indeed a great thing, but not all men have the capital to do so.
Being able to eat soft rice means he is good-looking! He is to Qin Run's taste!
That alone is enough to make him beautiful.
Xu Yunfan drank a large bowl of soup, ate two chicken legs and two chicken wings, and was very satisfied. "Grandpa, is everything cleaned up outside?"
Lord Qin: "Well, the Qin family's people, their clan leader came to me this morning and said they want to go back tomorrow because there's too much work to do in the village. You should go over and talk to them."
The rice and corn in the village are about to be harvested, and the work in the factory has to be done. Old Qin and his friends have been in Beijing for a few days. They have seen all the sights and watched Xu Yunfan's wedding. It is time to go back.
In response, Xu Yunfan did not keep anyone, but only arranged for someone to escort them back tomorrow. After that, he chatted with Qin Lao and others for a long time, and agreed to have dinner together tonight.
Some time ago, Jing Mingze received a letter saying that the corn on the more than ten acres of land owned by the Qin family in Dali Village, as well as the corn field that Xu Yunfan had expropriated from the Qin family for experiments, grew well and had large corn cobs. Xu Yunfan wrote back to Jing Mingze and told him to send a few corn cobs with him when the time comes. In this way, the people who came to buy corn seeds would know whether they were bragging or not when they saw the corn cobs.
Yes, Xu Yunfan and Jing Mingze have agreed on this batch of corn to keep it all for corn seeds. Jing Mingze will be responsible for promoting it in that time, going from county to county, and strive to get more people to switch to their corn seeds during the autumn planting season.
When Li Liu was escorting Xu Yunfan out of the staff dormitory building, he hesitated and couldn't say a single word. Xu Yunfan pretended not to understand at first, but seeing that Li Liu was getting a little anxious, he teased, "Sixth Brother, if you have something to say, why don't you just say it directly? Is it fun to beat around the bush with me? If you want to go back with Old Qin and the others, just tell me. But we agreed that you will come back after the autumn planting. I know Lord Jing is there. Some people, even if they are here, their hearts have already flown away. I can keep you, but I can't keep your heart. If you want to go back, just go back. Do you think I can tie you up? I am a considerate and gentle man, your young master."
Li Liu lowered his head in embarrassment, his face flushed. "Master, you're the best. Don't worry, I'll be back after the autumn planting is done."
The experimental field is about to be harvested in autumn, and how can Jing Mingze be missing? Jing Mingze lives in Xiao Qin's house in Dali Village. Li Liu naturally wants to go back. After all, as lovers, who doesn't want to be together all the time?
Xu Yunfan explained, "Many villagers nearby should be planting crops like sweet potatoes and soybeans this year. Go back and tell Lord Jing to let them plant them. However, if other counties want to plant a large amount of sweet potatoes, it depends on the situation and my husband's ability to get things done. Some counties may not necessarily set up factories."
Li Liu: "Don't worry, I will definitely convey your words, Master. By the way, Master, the pine leaf wine and other wines you asked me to brew are ready to be shipped out of the warehouse. Do you want to sell them in the store?"
Xu Yunfan glanced at the music hall in the food city and asked, "We brewed so much wine before, how much is left in stock?"
