Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man

Chapter 212 Arrival at the Marquis' Mansion

They did not have to rest only in the carriage along the way. They had to ask for shelter in villages or towns, and would stop from time to time to replenish dry food.

An An would ask from time to time: "Mom, why don't they eat as well as we do?"

"Because we not only raise rabbits and grow mushrooms, the grain yield in our fields is also high," Qin Ying explained, touching her head, "but you also reminded me that we can transport rabbits, mushrooms and grain here to sell.

"No, that's not right. It's not cost-effective to ship it here. The damage and expenses on the way are not cheap.

"Why don't we find someone to come here and raise rabbits and grow mushrooms, and then sell high-quality grain seeds...

"Well, word of mouth is very important. The first step is to open a grocery store and let the people here see that it is profitable..."

Zhou Yu couldn't help but laugh and said, "You two have become business savvy."

"Who would complain about having too much money?" Qin Ying also laughed, "Although I'm not obsessed with money, I also know that having money in hand will increase your freedom.

“It is easier to want and do whatever you want.

"Besides, while I'm making money, I'm also helping others. That's enough."

Zhao Hu popped up and announced loudly: "My sister is right!"

An An also followed suit and flattered: "My mother is the smartest!"

"You two little brats," Zhou Yu said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Didn't I praise my wife for being smart and capable?"

The uncle and nephew both shook their heads: "I didn't hear it!"

Qin Ying couldn't help laughing.

In this way, although he was on the road, Qin Ying found ways to make money, including but not limited to growing cotton, setting up rabbit farms, mushroom cultivation sites, etc., and he would buy suitable fields and shops if he found them.

Zhou Yu was originally worried that she didn't have enough money, but Qin Ying said, "Your help is not necessary. The income from Qin County is already sufficient."

Zhou Yu was shocked: "Qin County's income is so high?"

"Maybe it wouldn't work for someone else," Qin Ying said meaningfully, "but when it comes to me, I really make a lot of money. I can't say I'm making a fortune every day, but it's something others wouldn't even dare to envy."

Zhou Yu glanced at An An who was sleeping soundly with her little belly bulging, and smiled. With such a lucky little star at home, it was impossible for things to go wrong.

However, although Qin Ying had many ideas, she had no available people, so Zhou Yu sent someone to pass on the message for her. With the help of Mrs. Zhou Er, Aunt Zhao was able to quickly select the right people to carry out Qin Ying's plan.

The current residents of Tongshutun, except for the former village heads who moved back, are all reliable.

If you give them the opportunity to make money, they will rush to come, even if it means leaving their hometown.

Later on, you can recruit more assistants and always be able to select those who are available and loyal.

These things can't be rushed, just take your time.

In this way, after stopping and walking many times, the group finally arrived in the capital in the middle of the twelfth lunar month.

Outside the city gate, we met people from Cheng'en Marquis Mansion who came to greet us.

The chief steward came forward, greeted the prince, and said with a smile: "Because we don't know which city gate the prince will return from, the old men from the four cities have sent people."

Zhou Yu said a few polite words and then said, "Let's meet the young lady and the eldest lady first."

The manager was stunned at first, but when he saw Zhou Yu personally helping Qin Ying get out of the car and carrying An An out, he stepped forward and saluted politely.

Zhao Hu was instructed in advance and stuffed a purse into the manager's pocket.

Zhou Yu introduced: "This is my brother-in-law."

The steward hurriedly called him "Uncle" and bowed to Zhao Hu.

Zhao Hu smiled innocently and stuffed another purse into his pocket. "Thank you for your hard work, go back and buy some tea."

The manager thanked for the reward, invited Qin Ying and An An to get in the car, and escorted everyone into the city.

As soon as they entered the city gate, Liu Song came to the carriage and said goodbye: "Sir, I have to go to the palace to report, so I will excuse myself first."

Zhou Yu lifted the carriage curtain, bowed slightly, and said with a smile, "I dare not disturb you while you are on business. Please do as you please."

When the group arrived at the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion, Old Master Zhou was already waiting at the gate.

Zhou Yu hurriedly got out of the car, lifted his robe and knelt down: "I am an unfilial grandson, how could I trouble my grandfather to come and greet you in person!"

"Hey, hey, hey," the old man hurriedly ordered someone to help him up, and said with a smile, "Grandpa didn't come just for you. I heard that my granddaughter-in-law and great-granddaughter are here too? I'm anxious to see them!"

Qin Ying got out of the car holding An An and was about to kneel down and kowtow. Zhou Yu hurriedly ordered someone to bring a cushion.

Old Master Zhou waved his hand and said, "Hey! It's freezing cold, why do you have to make such a fuss here? Let's go inside and talk about it first, let's go inside and talk about it first!"

The whole family entered the house in a grand procession.

An An exclaimed: "Wow, it's so big!"

The carved beams and painted buildings, the flying eaves and brackets give off a touch of elegance amidst the ancient simplicity.

Occasionally you can see one or two red plum trees in full bloom, adding a bit of liveliness and festivity.

Grandpa Zhou came over happily to hold An An's hand, "It's big, right? I think it's big too. I'm the only old man going in and out every day, and even one room seems eerily empty."

An An blinked, looked at the crowd of servants, raised his chubby little hands, and swept them back and forth: "So, these... they are not human? Wow, Great Grandpa, you are so brave! You dare to live with so many ghosts!"

"Ah?" Mr. Zhou was stunned at first, then he burst into laughter, laughing so hard that tears came out.

Qin Ying raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows. What a talkative little fellow!

Zhou Yu also laughed, bent down and picked up An An, and said, "No, they are not ghosts, they are people who serve great grandfather.

"Grandpa was the master, and they were the servants. Grandpa wouldn't tell them what was on his mind, and they didn't dare to talk to him casually, so Grandpa felt lonely.

“When a person feels lonely, he will feel that the place where he is is empty.”

"Oh," An An nodded, "So that's how it is. Then, Great Grandpa, why don't you make friends with them?"

Mr. Zhou blinked, smiled and shook his head.

"Even if Great Grandpa doesn't want to be friends with them, he can still go out and make friends," An An counted on his fingers, "If riding a horse is not convenient, then go fishing. It doesn't matter if you can't catch any fish. It's also nice to feel the breeze and appreciate the scenery by the water!

"For example, if the weather is not suitable for fishing, why not go play chess with someone? Even if your opponent is a terrible chess player, it's still fun to argue with him.

"For example, you could write a memoir, writing down all the people and events you can't forget. If you're not good at writing, you could find someone to write for you. After the memoir is finished, have them read it to you, and cross out and rewrite any parts that aren't good.

"For example, if you have nothing to do, you can grow flowers and vegetables. If you don't grow them well, they won't go bad. It's just for fun, to pass the time!"

Old Master Zhou started laughing again, snatched An An from Zhou Yu's arms, and tossed her up, "You are such a treasure!"

He turned around and said to Zhou Yu, "Isn't he only three years old?"

"I'll be four soon!" An An corrected earnestly, "My birthday is on the seventh day of the sixth lunar month! My mom says it's the best birthday ever!"

Emperor Taizu of our dynasty had his birthday on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month. He was known as the luckiest person in the world. Since then, no one dared to say that their birthday was on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month. Even if they were really born on this day, they would change it to a day earlier or later.
