Chapter 15 The Governor's Visit

Listening to what her sister said, Gong Qiongyue always felt that her sister should not have wronged Lu Chensheng.

There are so many coincidences in this world. For example, Lu Chensheng was alone the day before yesterday, but it happened that after his sister gave the other party a few taels of silver, the other party got such a maid.

On the side, this maid is quite pretty, so how can we not make people think too much about it?

"What's wrong, Miss Gong?"

Chuwu looked at the other party cautiously, not knowing if he said something to make the other party unhappy.

Gong Qiongyue came back to her senses, picked up the chopsticks on the table and shook her head.

"I just didn't expect that Mr. Lu would be so kind-hearted and willing to accept you by his side."

This was something she really hadn't thought of. She had really thought that the other party was unkind and unjust.

But she never thought that this was completely different from what she thought. Not to mention that this Lu Chensheng was still an infatuated person with a very good heart.

My sister has already said that he is just a poor scholar, but he is still willing to give alms to others, and now he is doing his best to adopt such a little beggar.

"Yes, the young master is a good person. He is a little different from the others."

Listening to the other party praising his son, Chuwu nodded his head in agreement with the content of his words.

After a while, everyone swept the food on the table clean. Lu Chensheng called out, and Chuwu hurriedly came out to clear the table.

Gong Qiongyue's pretty face was slightly red. The lunch meal was so delicious, but she and the maid had nothing left.

"Oh, by the way, I don't know what Miss Gong is looking for?"

Seeing Gong Qiongyue, Lu Chensheng suddenly realized it and asked quickly.

Hearing this, Gong Qiongyue glanced at Uncle Lin beside her with some embarrassment, thinking that she still needed such a sharp weapon in her village, she did not hesitate.

"I heard from Uncle Lin that the young master has painted a waterwheel, and it is time to plant the land in the spring. The little girl wants to ask for this waterwheel, and build it next to the stockade. She hopes that the young master can agree to it. How much money is needed, please tell me.

"

"That's it?"

Lu Chensheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

I originally thought that the other party was in such a difficult situation because of some big event.

"Please also promise me, Master."

Gong Qiongyue lowered her head slightly and said very sincerely.

"This is not a big deal. If you want to build this waterwheel, just go ahead and build it. There is no need to explain it to me, let alone money."

No need for money?

Gong Qiongyue's pretty face looked at Lu Chensheng, and after confirming that Lu Chensheng really didn't care about this matter, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

With her own assets, she actually couldn't get much money out of it. If she was given less, she would be afraid it wouldn't be enough, and if she was given more, she wouldn't be able to get it.

Seeing that Lu Chensheng had no intention of asking for money at all, he naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you so much Mr. Lu."

"I should thank you more, girl, otherwise I don't know how long I would have to live in such a thatched cottage."

Lu Chensheng waved his hand and responded with a smile.

Hearing this, Gong Qiongyue looked at the thatched cottage beside her and pursed her lips with a smile, "With the talent of the young master, I doubt he would have to live in a place like this."

"Isn't this a nice place? I don't want to leave here. I have a thatched cottage and a few peach trees. When the peach trees are ripe, I can pick them and exchange them for some wine money. Life is enough."

Lu Chensheng said it very freely, but Gong Qiongyue felt that it was not that simple.

"Young Master, don't you want to take the exam to obtain a meritorious position? You already have the title of scholar, and you can become an official in the next step."

The State of Jiang treated scholars extremely favorably. If a scholar was above the rank of Juren, he could already be a county magistrate of about seven grades.

"Why do you want to be an official? I'm used to being lazy, so I feel comfortable being so carefree."

Lu Chensheng never thought about becoming an official in the first place. This dynasty was not familiar to him at all.

There are a lot of people in the imperial court, and each one is more powerful than the next. How can you waste so much effort just to get in and scheming with them?

Without a familiar history, who knows how this dynasty will go, if nothing else.

Jiang Guo is now at the time when Long Zi seizes the throne. If you go in at this time, you will not be pulled into the whirlpool. This is simply fatal.

In an unfamiliar country, you can’t even find anyone if you want to hug me!

Gong Qiongyue was slightly startled when she heard this. She could see very clearly that Lu Chensheng in front of her did not have the slightest intention of becoming an official.

If it looks like this, is the scholar in front of me still a hermit who is indifferent to fame and wealth?

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little admiration in her heart.

"Sir, how many words should be written on the plaque of this house?"

Uncle Lin in the distance was already thinking about the door plaque and walked up to ask.

He needs to know approximately how many words Lu Chensheng needs to write, and then he can determine the length and width.

"This place will be called Taohuawu from now on. Please make it three characters long."

Uncle Lin nodded and went to work. Gong Qiongyue looked carefully and saw that there were many high-quality woods on the side.

I know that Uncle Lin and others probably ate Lu Chensheng's food, and some soft-spoken people got some good wood.

"This way I won't disturb the young master. If the young master has time, he can come to the village as a guest."

"If you have free time, I'll definitely chat about it."

Lu Chensheng cupped his hands and saw Gong Qiongyue leaving.

"Okay, let's go over there with the young master to loosen the soil. Then we can have a vegetable plot."

On the fifth day of the new year, he responded and went to the side with Lu Chensheng to clear out a piece of land. The vegetable seeds had been purchased earlier and they could be sown when the land was cleared.

Lu Chensheng was happily cultivating the land on his side, while Linyu on the other side had finished his appointment and was riding back in a carriage.

Linyu Liu in the carriage frowned.

"What's wrong, Miss? From what I heard from the talented Wang before, it doesn't seem to be a lie. Why does the Miss still have such an expression?"

Just now, Linyu asked the other party some details.

Wang Mohe, who had been prepared for a long time, naturally answered fluently, which made her unable to find any flaws.

But the only thing that was a bit disharmonious was that she always felt that there was a difference between what the other person said and the artistic conception she felt from the poem.

This makes it always difficult for Linyu to let go of his guard.

"Let's stop this matter here first. Don't talk nonsense outside."

Linyu calmed down and gave instructions to the maid.

When the maid heard this, she naturally didn't dare to say anything and quickly said yes.

"Miss, I heard that the Lord of the City has reported what happened here. If I am not mistaken, the governor will come in person at that time, and the governor is my first teacher.

It seems that the young lady hasn’t seen the enlightenment teacher for a while."

Seeing that the young lady looked a little unhappy, the maid immediately changed the subject.

Having said this, Linyu also became a little happy and nodded.
