The Lin family's ox cart was parked aside, waiting to take Lu Yanzhou to town.
Lin's mother pointed at the things placed aside and asked Lin Changting to move them all to the ox cart, in case something was missed and could not be bought outside.
Lu Yanzhou listened to Lin's mother nagging at him with a worried look on her face, but he kept smiling and didn't show any impatience at all.
When he heard that there was dried meat inside and that Lin Yunchu had made it specially for him, his eyes couldn't help but flash, and the smile on his lips deepened.
"Brother Yanzhou, my sister said that you are so talented in writing that you will definitely be admitted to the university. You just need to take good care of your body and maintain good physical strength."
Lin Changan was not to be outdone, and he pulled Lu Yanzhou and spoke with a childish look on his face.
When Lu Yanzhou heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, touched Lin Changan's little head and said yes repeatedly, and did not forget to tell him to listen to his sister at home.
He has to study hard when he returns to the academy, because I have to check his homework when he comes back.
While everyone was checking the things on the ox cart, Lin Yunchu pulled Lu Yanzhou aside and whispered:
"Brother Yanzhou, I asked my mother to sew some banknotes into the corner of your new cotton-padded jacket for your emergency use."
The journey to Kyoto was long, and Lin Yunchu was afraid that Lu Yanzhou might encounter an accident on the way, so he asked his mother to secretly slip two silver bills into his clothes while he was sewing them.
It is mainly for emergency use. The journey is long, and there must be a response if there are any unexpected situations. Lin Yunchu thought of all the methods he knew, and still felt that this one was the most reliable.
Hearing Lin Yunchu's words, Lu Yanzhou felt warm in his heart. He raised his hand and looked at Lin Yunchu's smiling eyes. Her eyes were clear, without any thoughts of him.
Lu Yanzhou couldn't help but put down his hand awkwardly. Forget it, now is not the time to explain things. When he comes back from high school one day, he will definitely tell you everything in his heart.
"And this. When I went to town a few days ago, I asked Manager Zhao from Jishitang to prepare it for me. It contains some medicinal herbs that can help calm the mind. Hanging it by the bed when you rest can help you fall asleep."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yunchu handed a purse to Lu Yanzhou. The purse was embroidered by Lin's mother. It was embroidered with egrets, lotus flowers and reeds, which meant success in the imperial examinations.
Lin's mother didn't know about this, and she secretly asked Lin Yunchu before embroidering the pattern, thinking it must be a good omen.
Although the purse was not made of any precious material, the medicinal herbs inside were calming herbs that Lin Yunchu had specially asked Manager Zhao to prepare at the pharmacy in town.
After all, it's not like home outside. If you don't get enough rest, it will affect your condition. Lin Yunchu prepared everything he could think of.
Lu Yanzhou held the purse in his hand, using a little force, and only felt a trace of lingering warmth on the purse.
Lu Yanzhou only felt that a corner of his heart was slowly melting, as if soaking in warm water, and the trace of nostalgia in his heart slowly spread out bit by bit.
"Scientific research... I will do my best. Wait for my good news!"
After saying that, he got on the ox cart. Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Changting waved the whip in his hand and rushed towards the town. Lu Yanzhou sat on the ox cart and waved to everyone in the Lin family.
But a pair of eyes kept looking at Lin Yunchu, with a hint of reluctance in their eyes.
Only after the ox cart drove away and disappeared did the Lin family reluctantly turn around and go into the yard.
Lin Yunchu was still dazed at this moment. What did Lu Yanzhou's last words mean? Why did it sound like a husband's advice to his wife before he went on a long journey?
Lu Yanzhou is the only one in the entire Qingxi Village who passed the imperial examination. Today he is going to Beijing to take the exam, and most of the people in the village have come to see him off.
But he told me to wait for his good news.
What does this mean?
Lin Yunchu suddenly remembered last time...
It seemed as if he understood something, and his face became slightly hot.
"Sister, mother wants you to come in. It's cold outside."
Lin Changan stood under the eaves and shouted loudly to Lin Yunchu who was in a daze outside, which made Lin Yunchu come back to his senses immediately.
He curled the corners of his lips and shook his head, looking in the direction where the ox cart had disappeared at the village entrance for a while, then turned and walked into his own yard.
Lin Changting sent Lu Yanzhou all the way to the town, and according to Lin Yunchu's instructions, he went to the livestock market to find the distant relative of Manager Zhou.
After sending Lu Yanzhou onto the carriage and watching him leave the city, Lin Changting hurried to his shop.
When he gets home in the evening, everyone will definitely ask him about Yanzhou. He and Lu Yanzhou are as close as brothers, and he will not feel at ease unless he sees him get on the carriage.
Since Lu Yanzhou left, Qingxi Village has gradually returned to its former appearance.
When spring comes, green buds appear on the treetops, and after a light drizzle, it is time for farmers to start the most important spring plowing work of the year.
Unlike previous years, the county magistrate of Taihe Town has arrived.
However, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble this time, County Magistrate Cao came in plain clothes and informed the Lin family in advance not to tell too many people his identity.
So this time, only the Lin family, the head of the village, and several elders of the village accompanied him. County Magistrate Cao came this time because of the potato matter.
Last time, it was agreed with Lin Yunchu that County Magistrate Cao would come with a few of his men to learn from the Lin family about growing potatoes.
Xue Jingran also came with County Magistrate Cao.
At this time, Xue Jingran still looked like his usual elegant gentleman. He tilted his head slightly and whispered to Lin Yunchu, "Brother-in-law has put in a lot of effort this time. He wants to promote these potatoes and plant them all over Taihe Town."
During the last autumn harvest, he had accompanied his brother-in-law to the Lin family in Qingxi Village. Naturally, he knew about this matter. Now, seeing this situation, he couldn't help but tease Lin Yunchu.
"If this is successful, my brother-in-law said he would write a letter to commend you. This is a great thing that will benefit the country and the people."
Who would have thought that this inconspicuous thing would now be so precious, and it could potentially provide food for everyone in Taihe Town.
To put it in a broader sense, if this thing really succeeds and is promoted throughout the Great Xia Dynasty, it will not only be the achievement of Lin Yunchu alone.
When County Magistrate Cao heard him talk about potatoes, he was already able to foresee that the future of the Great Xia Dynasty would be completely different.
One is his partner and the other is his brother-in-law, so Xue Jingran is naturally happy to make this happen. It’s almost time for spring plowing.
He accompanied his brother-in-law to Qingxi Village. Xue Jingyao had been pestering him for a long time in the Xue Mansion, so he came along this time.
But after being persuaded by Lin Yunchu for a few words, he stayed at Lin's house with Lin's mother, not knowing what delicious food to eat.
