The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

   Chapter 438 439 Lotus Pond

Zhou Jia smiled and said to Li Yu: "Yu'er, I was in the yamen, and I heard them talking in private, saying that the Fan family had bribed a lot of gold and silver for decades, do you think he would hide the gold and silver in Zhuangzi? Where are you going?"

   After hearing this, Li Yu remembered that a corrupt official had hidden money in a pond in his previous life. He thought that the Fan family had planted lotus flowers in the pond, and they would have to dig lotus roots in two months. He thought it was impossible. Li Yu looked at the blue bricks under his feet and thought: Do you want to dig it up and take a look?

"There is also a possibility. Take an opportunity to see if there is a wall on the Zhuangzi, or if it is hidden under the floor tiles." Zhou Jia looked at Li Yucai's appearance, sat up with a smile and pinched her nose, "Silly girl, if If you really have gold and silver treasures, it’s not safe for you to live on Zhuangzi. Even if there is gold and silver, I think Your Majesty has sent someone to look for them. Look at these floor tiles underground, don’t they seem to be re-laid.”

Li Yu turned his head to look at it, nodded, and suddenly thought of Yangyang who liked to play with water and fish, maybe he had already gone to the lotus pond, and when he thought that the water in the lotus pond was not shallow, he took Zhou Jia's hand uneasy, " I’m getting up soon, maybe Yang’er and the others have already gone to the lotus pond, let’s go out and have a look.”

   "Okay, look at my son." Zhou Jia smiled and kissed Li Yu, the couple got out of bed, went outside, and saw Mr. Wen wearing a straw hat and walking out.

   Zhou Jia asked with a smile; "Sir, do you want to go out?"

  Mr. Wen looked at the two with a smile, "Aqing, Mr. Qian and Yang'er have all gone to the lotus pond, and I plan to take a look too."

   Li Yu said with a smile: "Sir, we also plan to take a look. Since everyone has gone, let Xinghua and Sister Zhang get some fruits and go there to sit and enjoy the shade."

  Mr. Wen cheerfully waved at the two of them, "Let's go!"

   A few people walked to the front yard. As soon as they walked to the front yard, they saw Zhao Cai entered the courtyard. Zhao Cai reported to the two: "Master, Madam, Han San's mother and daughter-in-law want to come to see you and Madam."

   Zhou Jia nodded, "Okay, you bring them in."

   After a while, Zhao Cai led Han San's family into the courtyard. The two children glanced curiously at the melon rack in the courtyard, and took their parents' hands to the main hall.

   After the family greeted Li Yu, his wife, and Mr. Wen, Li Yu said to Han San's family: "You will be members of the Zhou family from now on, as long as you obey the rules, the Zhou family will not treat you badly.

   There are Mrs. Zhang and the others on the stove, you can take care of the livestock in the backyard, the lotus pond, and the several mu of corn fields at the door, as well as; there is a stove in the downside room, and you can get rice, grain, oil, and salt to cook for yourself.

   Han San just arrived, the monthly money is temporarily the same as Uncle Liu, and Aunt Han and Sister Han are halved on the basis of Han San! In the future, you don’t need to kneel and kowtow at every turn, just keep the rules in your heart. "

   Seeing Li Yu's warm language, the family kowtowed happily: "It's Madam, we remember it, thank you sir! Thank you Madam."

Mr. Wen looked at Mrs. Han's hands on the ground, bent and swollen like chicken feet, frowned, and when the Han family got up, he waved at Mrs. Han and said, "Sister-in-law, I see your hands are rheumatic. You're seriously ill, come here and I'll show you."

   Mrs. Han stood there in a daze, muttering, "Grandpa, the old lady is used to it."

  Han San listened to Mr. Wen's words, and kowtowed to Mr. Wen with great joy, "Thank you, old man, my mother's hand hurts when it gets cold water."

  Mr. Wen smiled and waved, "I'm a doctor, so I don't need to do such a big ceremony."

"Yes, old man." Han San got up with a smile and pushed the dumbfounded old lady to sit opposite Mr. Wen. After looking at Mr. Wen, Mr. Wen said, "Try not to use cold water in the future. You and Zhaocai go back to the capital, and let the master prescribe medicine for you."

   "Thank you, old man." The family happily saluted Mr. Wen and withdrew.

  Xinghua and Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Chen brought melons and fruits, cakes, and roasted seeds to the front yard. Seeing Li Yu and the others were still in the yard, Xinghua smiled and asked, "Madam, are you still going to the lotus pond?"

   "Go, send your things over first!" Li Yu said with a smile.

The group walked towards the lotus pond, and when they arrived at the lotus pond, Zhou Jia stood outside the wooden gate of the fence, looked at the lotus leaves in the pond and said with a smile: "The Fan family's lotus pond garden really took a lot of effort, there are flowers in almost all seasons. Look."

  Li Yu pointed at the clumps of roses of various colors, and said with a smile: "Look at those roses, don't you think the colors are good? Oh! Look at those children who ran to the pavilion and lay down."

   When a few people walked to the pavilion, they saw a few children lying on their backs on the wooden chairs on the pavilion, sleeping soundly, and Xiaobai was lying there guarding.

  Li Yu walked over and touched Yangyang's hand, Yangyang opened his eyes and saw Li Yu, "Mother, it's so cool to sleep here."

   Li Yu kissed his forehead and said with a smile, "Yeah! Then you can sleep for a while, and I will sit in the pavilion over there with my father and master."

   Walking to the pavilion at the end of the lotus pond, Zhou Jia looked at the circle of hooks left on the pavilion and said with a smile, "These hooks are used to hang the curtains to prevent everyone from being peeped."

  Mr. Qian's voice rang out, "The Fan family may have never imagined that one day, his pampered daughter would be sent to the Jiaosifang to become a singing prostitute!"

   "Yeah! The glory and wealth that I have enjoyed, I will use the rest of my life to make up for it. People like the Fan family are just too dissatisfied."

Mr. Wen looked at Zhou Jia and Li Qing, "Jiahe, Ah Qing, Mr. knows that you are good children, but I also want to ask you to take precautions about the Fan family, and don't be greedy for immediate interests and harm future generations. "

   The two bowed and responded, "Yes sir, we remembered it."

  Mr. Wen nodded gratified, "Okay, you guys talk, I'll go for a walk."

  Mr. Qian smiled and stepped forward to support Mr. Wen, "I also go shopping with the old man."

   Zhou Jia looked at Mr. Qian and said with a smile: "Okay, you walk with the old man."

  After Mr. Wen and Mr. Qian left, Li Qing said with a smile: "We strolled around the lotus pond for a few times and looked around. We plan to come back to Zhuangzi to play when the fragrance of osmanthus is fragrant."

   Hearing Li Qing talking about the fragrance of osmanthus, Li Yu remembered that it was already the tenth day of the seventh lunar month, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was just around the corner.

   "Aqing, there are still a few days until the Mid-Autumn Festival. When you go back to Kyoto, remember to buy things for the sacrifice. While your brother-in-law is here, go to the town tomorrow to prepare ingot paper money for the sacrifice."

   "Sister, my uncle reminded me yesterday, and asked if you will go back to Kyoto during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Li Yu didn't want to go back to socialize with people, and felt tired and flustered, "No, I plan to wait for you to go back before you get married, you and I don't understand, then you can ask Mammy Yang to give you some advice, so that you won't lose your courtesy. "

"Sister, if Madam Yang wants to help in the mansion, you don't have to go to my house," Li Qing smiled, "If your mother-in-law says there is something she doesn't understand, just ask her, if not, send a woman over to help, and my aunt also says you She is inconvenient, and she will go to my place to help when the time comes."
