A time-travelling peasant girl becomes a wealthy woman

Chapter 186 Shen Jiamao is here

She left two jars for the servants in the workshop to eat, and asked Fang Zheng to take two jars to He Mingliang, two jars to Jiang Dayou, and one jar to Huang Dachuan. She reserved two jars for the Tang family.

The rest were all moved to the kitchen of the new house and placed on the spice rack together with the chili sauce.

In order to rush to make furniture for the new house, He Yian hired a lot of long-term workers who were able to do some basic carpentry work, so the progress of making furniture was quite fast.

He Yian led the farmhands to make furniture for the second courtyard first.

Painting is more troublesome, mainly involving primer, topcoat, sanding, and at least five applications of raw lacquer, and finally varnishing. It also takes twenty to twenty-five days of repeated drying in the shade to complete the whole painting process.

After finishing the work, the doors and windows need to be opened to let the smell out. It is expected that everything will be completed in another month.

As for Yang Lijun's house, it is estimated that it will not be completed before the New Year.

If Yang Hui and his friends plan to move into Xiushan Village before the New Year, they can first live in the Huang family's wing.

This is more convenient, as there are servants and maids to take care of daily life, and the meals cooked by the cook are also good.

In the next few years, Huang Mulin plans to devote all his energy to transforming the back mountain and studying.

Shen Junkun drank a lot of precious medicinal herbs and received treatment from Yan Bufan. After recuperating for a long time, he felt much better.

However, he had many broken bones all over his body. If he wanted to recover properly, it would take at least half a year. He temporarily suspended his studies at the college, but it did not affect his studies at home.

His teacher came to visit him several times and explained to him a lot of things he didn't understand. The teacher was very satisfied with Shen Junkun's hard work.

"That's all for today. You need to rest more. Your health is important." The teacher said, "With your qualifications, you don't have to worry about taking the exam two years later. It's not impossible for you to catch up later."

"Yes, Master."

The teacher left, leaving Shen Junkun still flipping through the books.

"Junkun."

Xia Ruxuan walked in with medicine.

"mother."

He closed the book, his ruddy face full of energy.

Xia Ruxuan's eyes flickered, as if years had passed.

It was only a few months, and after going through many ups and downs, their family finally got better.

"Drink the medicine first."

She handed the medicine to Shen Junkun and watched him drink it obediently.

At this time, Shen Jiamao also came in.

He had just returned from the breeding shed and his clothes were still a little dusty.

"How are you feeling today?"

He asked Shen Junkun.

"Dad, I'm much better now." Shen Junkun replied, "The teacher was here just now."

"Well, I'll go thank him some other day."

During dinner, Shen Jiamao said, "I plan to go to Linhai Town in a few days to ask my wife and the eldest lady about the arrangements for the future. The New Year is coming soon, so I need to make plans."

Shen's mother and Xia Ruxuan looked at each other and did not object.

How could their family not have repaid the great kindness? They should have taken the initiative to go over and ask.

Seeing that his mother and wife had no objection, Shen Jiamao continued, "When I'm not at home, Ruxuan, help me take care of the cattle."

"it is good."

"Mother, don't worry too much. Junkun is much better now. He will definitely get better if he takes care of himself. The teacher also said that it won't be a problem for him to continue the imperial examination two years later."

"I understand. I want to stay alive and healthy to see Junkun get married and have children."

Mother Shen smiled.

The expressions of Shen Jiamao and his wife became relaxed.

Three days later, Shen Jiamao arranged his household affairs, rented a carriage and a driver, and headed for Linhai Town.

Coincidentally, the driver had been to Linhai Town in Qiling County several times, the most recent time being half a month ago, so he started a conversation with Shen Jiamao.

"Is Boss Shen going to Linhai Town to visit his relatives?"

The driver was a talkative man.

"Well, I'm going to look for someone."

Shen Jiamao replied.

"Which place exactly? Maybe I can take you directly to the location."

Because Shen Jiamao was not sure when he would leave Linhai Town, he only rented the car and the driver for one day, but the fee was for the round-trip fare, otherwise no one would be willing to take the job.

If the driver happens to meet a passenger returning to Bofeng County, he can earn more.

"Huang's canteen."

"Oh, I really know this."

The driver chattered excitedly.

"Their food is so delicious! I've never eaten anything like it before. I also bought two jars of fermented bean curd with different flavors. The elderly and children in my family love it. When it's hot in the summer, I rely on the fermented bean curd to coax the children to eat porridge. Otherwise, I don't know how they would make a fuss."

"Oh? So delicious?"

"Hey~ Boss Shen, don't disbelieve me. Once you have tasted it, you will never forget it."

Seeing the driver speak so confidently, Shen Jiamao was very curious.

"However, what people yearn for most is not the food, but the Lord of Qiling County. The Huang Family Canteen is the Lord's shop. Many people go to the Huang Family Canteen just to run into the Lord, hoping to get to know him so they can get a good job in the future."

"Lord of Qiling County?"

"Correct."

Shen Jiamao had heard about this matter vaguely, but he didn't delve into it too deeply and didn't know the details.

But, isn’t the Huang Family Canteen owned by the eldest daughter Huang Mulin?

As Shen Jiamao thought about it, he sorted out some information.

Shouldn't it be...

"...What's the name of that county lord?"

"The county lady's name is Huang Mulin." The driver sighed, "A six-year-old girl."

Shen Jiamao felt as if the world was spinning around him.

Fortunately, he was sitting in the carriage, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground.

"The county lady has also acknowledged the Duke of Zhenguo as her adoptive father. It is said that the Duke of Zhenguo's wife stayed in Linhai Town to accompany her every day."

The Duke of Zhenguo... The Duke of Zhenguo's wife...

Is that lady?

The driver said a lot of things, but Shen Jiamao didn't listen.

After a while, the driver heard no sound in the carriage and thought Shen Jiamao was bored and fell asleep, so he stopped talking and drove at ease.

At the end of the afternoon, the carriage stopped in front of the Huang family canteen.

There were still quite a few customers in the store at this time, and Huang Hua and Huang Han were greeting them.

Shen Jiamao paid the driver and waited until he had gone far away before walking into the Huang family canteen.

"The waiter."

Shen Jiamao called out to Huang Hua and the others, "Excuse me, is the head of the family here?"

Because Huang Mulin became a county lady, no one except the familiar ones was allowed to go to the backyard, and she would not meet strangers casually, so when Shen Jiamao asked, Huang Hua and Huang Han were a little wary.

"You're looking for my family's head?"

Huang Hua took over the conversation, "Excuse me, who are you? Do you have an appointment?"

Perhaps noticing Huang Hua's alertness, Shen Jiamao hurriedly explained, "I am Shen Jiamao from Bofeng County, raising buffaloes. I'm here to look for the young lady. Could you please ask for me?"

Bofeng County? Raising buffaloes?

Huang Hua and Huang Han looked at each other.

"Really, I just came from Bofeng County this morning and wanted to come over and say hello first."

"Okay, just wait a moment."

Huang Hua went to the backyard, and came out after a while and brought Shen Jiamao in.

"Uncle Shen."

Huang Mulin greeted with a smile.

If he didn't know Huang Mulin's identity, he wouldn't have thought it was a big deal, but now he was so scared that his legs went weak.
