Chapter 261 I Miss Her So Much

Strange Stories?

Yu Kangle had been an official in the Ministry of Revenue for so many years and was considered to be well-educated, but he had never seen any book that recorded such strange stories.

"Does Madam Lin still have this strange story book? Could you lend it to me?"

Lin Ting nodded to Yu Kangle and said, "I'm sorry, Master Yu. When I was a child, my family suffered a great disaster and had to flee the famine. I have lost all my old belongings."

Yu Kangle forgot that the imperial court had conducted some investigations on Lin Ting, and she had indeed fled to Wenzhu County to escape famine.

“That’s a shame, but I came here this time because I was ordered to ask Madam Lin how to grow corn.

His Majesty means that if you succeed in planting this year, you will be a great contributor to the Dongxia Kingdom, and His Majesty will reward you handsomely."

The development of corn across the country was an inevitable trend, and she knew it the moment she planted the corn.

"Lord Yu has dedicated himself to the country and the people. I admire you from the bottom of my heart. However, when it comes to growing corn, it's actually very simple. The only problem is pest control."

Pests are a pain point for all farmers. If a major insect plague occurs, all the crops that have been carefully grown for a year will be destroyed.

Lin Ting gave Yu Kangle a brief summary of corn cultivation, and combined with the pesticides she made herself last year, she was able to finally get corn to flow into Wenzhu County.

"Master Yu, this is roughly the process of corn planting. If you want it to grow well and plumply, artificial pollination is essential.

But you don't have to worry too much, as long as the weather isn't too bad, it will grow."

Yu Kangle half understood that corn cultivation was similar to that of other crops, but there were still many details involved that he could only rely on his imagination, such as pollination.

He had never heard of any plant that needed human pollination during its growth process.

"Madam Lin, it seems I will need to stay in your manor for a long time. Is this convenient for you?"

Lin Ting was stunned. This Lord Yu was a powerful man, and he wanted to live on her farm just to learn how to grow corn.

Just based on this requirement, Lin Ting could tell that this short and thin official was a good official who truly loved his country and served the people.

"Since my lord is willing to humble himself, I will naturally do my best to help you."

Yu Kangle wanted to live here for a long time and observe the entire growth process of corn, and record it in a book so that he could teach local officials in the future and pass on the planting techniques.

After talking with Lin Ting, Qu Yuanxun sent Yu Kangle to rest first, and arranged for someone to protect Yu Kangle closely.

In addition, he was going to live in Lin Ting's Ningjiang Manor, so there had to be people from the county government living there, and his food, clothing, housing and transportation could not be too bad.

After everything was arranged, when Qu Yuanxun was free, he asked Meng Zhubu to send the local information to Yu Kangle's subordinates for his review.

"Brother-in-law, is Lord Yu settled?"

Qu Yuanxun nodded and extended his hand for Lin Ting to sit down and talk.

"Lin Ting, you came here so early in the morning. You haven't had breakfast yet, right? My mother made some cakes. I'll have someone bring them to you."

Qu Yuanxun and Yu Kangle had already eaten, but Lin Ting was just like Lin Lin. Whenever he did something, he always put the work first and the eating second.

"No need, brother-in-law. Didn't you say that there was some clue about Zhuangzi? Which Zhuangzi is it?"

Lin Ting's mind is full of farms now. She wants to buy two more farms now so that she can catch up with the busy farming season.

Seeing Lin Ting's anxious look, Qu Yuanxun took out a map of Wenzhu County from his sleeve and opened it.

He pointed to two places in the suburbs and said, "This is Shanbao Manor, and there is a Jiang Manor over here. One of these two manors has 500 acres, and the other has 200 acres.

The land is good, but its only drawback is that it is far away from your Wushan Village, and it was sold by the owner himself, not by the owner who was confiscated and handed over to the county government.

If you really want it, there's no such offer, so think carefully."

The busy farming season is approaching, and land is so precious. If the two landlords did not want to relocate their families, they would not have sold the two farms.

For Lin Ting, it was not a problem at all. She could find someone to manage it. It was just that she had picked up a leak in Ningjiang Village, and it was impossible for God to give her leaks to pick up every day.

"I understand. I'll buy it!"

The two farms were seven hundred mu, and at ten taels per mu, I spent seven thousand taels to buy them.

Lin Ting bought them first and planted peppers and corn. She could make her investment back in just one year, and the rest was her profit.

"If you've made up your mind, I'll help you negotiate and handle the matters and formalities for these two manors."

"Okay! Thank you, brother-in-law."

In the afternoon, when Lin Ting was answering Hua Yan, he received a message from Shen Qingzhou. The letter said that he had applied to the college and would go home every day in the future. He asked Lin Ting to go to the school to pick him up when he returned home.

The back of the letter was filled with his love words for Lin Ting. After reading it, Lin Ting blushed and smiled foolishly.

Shen Qingzhou lived in the college before because of his leg problem. In fact, Lin Ting missed him very much.

Hua Yan's new factory has been put into operation, and Lin Ting and Lin Lin's workload has increased a lot. Fortunately, they have Wen Wen, a capable assistant.

At 3 p.m., Lin Ting was waiting outside Yangtai Academy as promised. As soon as Shen Qingzhou saw her, he ran towards her, smiling like a child.

"Lin Ting, you're here!"

Lin Ting frowned, seeing that he was holding a lot of things, big and small, which meant that he was planning not to live in the academy anymore.

"You carry so many things?"

Shen Qingzhou put the things on Lin Ting's carriage. He even brought out the bedding.

"Not only that, I have more."

Shen Qingzhou pointed back, and Lin Ting saw Hu Yuanqing coming out with a lot of things. The quilt in his hand covered him completely.

"Shen Qingzhou, why are you running so fast? Come and help me, I can't carry it anymore."

Shen Qingzhou smiled at Lin Ting, then turned around and shared the heavy load on Hu Yuanqing's back.

"Oh, I'm so tired. Do you have to be so anxious? It's not like you can't see your sister-in-law if you go slower."

Of course Shen Qingzhou was anxious. He felt that every minute with Lin Ting was extremely precious.

"I'm home now. From now on, the whole dormitory is yours. Why are you still not happy?"

Hu Yuanqing rolled his eyes at him, appearing disgusted, but in his heart he was reluctant to leave Shen Qingzhou. After all, they had lived together for several months.

After moving the things to the side of the carriage, Hu Yuanqing saw Lin Ting and smiled at him.

"Hello, sister-in-law!"

"Xiao Hu, thank you for always being so gentle."

"No, no, sister-in-law, you're too polite."

After moving the things, Shen Qingzhou directly pulled Lin Ting onto the carriage. He also stuck his head out and asked Hu Yuanqing to go back.

Hu Yuanqing was helpless. He really forgot his good friend after getting a wife.

Shen Qingzhou got on the carriage, sat down next to Lin Ting, hugged her tightly in his arms, and had a silly smile on his face.

"My dear, I miss you so much. I wish I could stick to you forever."
