"Sister Tao doesn't see any movement?" Zhong Yuxiu said with a frown and looked at Chu Jiu.

"Move? What's the movement?" Chu Jiu said to her with a confused look on his face.

"Our family has two children. We are with us, Bingzhong, Junnan, Wendong and others are all men and half women." Zhong Yuxiu said worriedly, "It's too early for him to get married among these people, but there is no movement at all. I'm worried for both of them."

"But I see that they are not in a hurry at all." Chu Jiu turned around and thought for a while.

"How could it be that there is no hurry!" Zhong Yuxiu put down the needlework in her hand and looked at him, "It's just that it's not shown in front of others. Look how much Sister Tao likes our two children."

"But it's useless to be anxious!" Chu Jiu said as she looked at her in a hurry, and said helplessly, "I just want to send a child to Guanyin, if she doesn't give it to her, there's no way she can do it!"

"Sister Tao can't follow you?" Zhong Yuxiu's starry eyes flowed gently and thought.

"No!" Chu Jiu said simply.

"Isn't it here to come to Jinling this time? Why can't this time be done?" Zhong Yuxiu looked at him dissatisfiedly and said.

"My wife, don't worry, I came to Jinling because of the plague. I went to southern Fujian. Whether it was going to sea or shipyard, I would not let women get involved." Chu Jiu explained the situation in detail.

"What should I do?" Zhong Yuxiu said to him with concern.

"This is unsolvable, and the person who went to sea has set this rule, which cannot be resisted by human power." Chu Jiuyouyou looked at her with deep eyes and said, "Don't be anxious about this matter. Let's hear what Changsheng and his younger brothers and sisters say! Maybe they are prepared!"

"What does it mean to be prepared?" Zhong Yuxiu looked up at him and couldn't help but mutter.

"This is the situation that people may have discussed it a long time ago. Let's not be anxious here. The couple's affairs are not very strong!" Chu Jiu said with his eyes wandering.

Zhong Yuxiu moved her mouth, and she didn't know what to say when she was talking. She couldn't explain it clearly to the man.

"Look at your map!" Zhong Yuxiu picked up the needlework and lowered her head and repaired her clothes.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Chu Jiu arranged a carriage and sent the Tao family and his luggage to the farm outside the city.

The farm is not far from Jinling City. It has arrived after walking for a whole morning. It is convenient to go to the city to buy things. I rode a horse back and forth one morning.

Tao Qini looked outside through the carriage window. There were large areas of farmland on both sides of the official road. "The rice ears felt light and fluttering."

"It's not that the heavy rice ears bent over, it's straight." Shen couldn't help but mutter, "Why do I feel that it's not as deep as our wheat ears!"

"It doesn't feel great!" Zhong Yuxiu frowned slightly and looked at the farm.

He heard the sound and bent down slightly to look at them, "Maybe it was due to the plague last year, so no one dared to go into the water, and the rice fields were not in charge."

Chu Jiu said this, and it seems reasonable.

"I think the rice we cultivated in the land is better than these." Chu Jiu said again when he looked at them.

"You'll know when you get to the place." Zhong Yuxiu thought for a while and said, otherwise the food would be tight.

After leaving Jinling City, the carriage ran quickly on the official road.

"It has reached our farm territory." Chu Jiu pulled the reins and slowed down, and pointed to the rice fields on both sides of the road, "Look at the rice ears are much better than the ones in front."

"Huh!" Chu Zeyuan breathed a sigh of relief nervously, "No need to go hungry now."

"Little fool." Zhong Yuxiu reached out and rubbed his head.

"Mom, mom, house." The second young master pointed to the house in the distance and said.

"Is that my master's home?" Chu Zeyuan looked at the white walls and black tiles hidden in the flowing water of the small bridge.

"Yes, there is the farm ahead and your master's home." Chu Jiu said with a smile.

Tao Qini looked at the house with red bricks and green tiles from a distance, and replaced by white walls and black tiles with characteristic features of Jiangnan water towns, light ink and clear mist, ordinary alleys and roads, green water and light boats.

The cottage with black tiles and white walls breathed gently and whispered quietly, as if floating in the air, as if caged in thin mist. It looked like small islands floating on the water, like a lively fish exposed on the back, and like a bunch of bubbles emerging.

"Is this too close to Jinling?" Tao Qini looked at Chu Jiu with distinct black and white eyes and asked, "The population will recover very quickly."

"No." Chu Jiu was stunned when he heard this, then looked at her and smiled, "The plague last year left the land deserted."

"No, I mean, it's not easy to live in Jinling." Tao Qini reminded with a faint black eyes that some things are not mentioned now but have to be considered, otherwise it would be too troublesome to move to another place.

When Chu Jiu heard this, his pupils shrank slightly, and he looked at each other with Zhong Yuxiu.

Obviously, they all understood the other party's meaning. If Jinling was used as the capital, the farm would be too close to Jinling.

"This..." Chu Jiu really didn't think too much about it. Logically speaking, Jinling is also an ancient capital. After repairs from all dynasties, it was solid and along the Yangtze River.

Water and land transport are both developed and are also an economic center in the south.

If there were no navy, it would be a good choice, but now the Yangtze River is just a sieve. Chu Jiu personally verified it and never considered it here.

"Jinling was a severely affected area at the time. If this land was not planted, it would be even more abandoned." Chu Jiu looked at them with dark eyes and said bluntly. The simple meaning was to consider the present first.

It makes sense to say this, it is not easy to recover from this. Tao Qini stopped talking too much.

However, my brother and sister reminded me that I really need to think about where to settle down in the future.

As he spoke, he got closer and closer to the farm, "This house is better than in Luzhou." Tao Qini discovered in surprise.

"This time, the preparations were sufficient, so the overall arrangements were made." Chu Jiu said with a smile on his face, "To be honest, everyone else was jealous."

"Of course I have to settle my brothers. If nothing unexpected happens, I will settle here for a lifetime." Zhong Yuxiu's starry eyes filled with bright light and said naturally. This is related to the food for more than 200,000 soldiers.

The carriage stopped, and Tao Qini and the others jumped out of the carriage.

"Go in and have a look!" Zhong Yuxiu stood beside Tao Qini and said.

Tao Qini and the others pushed open the black door, "Wow... Looking at the familiar screen wall, this will not be exactly the same as before!"

"Exactly the same!" Zhong Yuxiu looked at her with a smile on her starry eyes, "There is nothing else in the house except the vegetable garden, and the rest is brought to you."

"The vegetable field is planted because of rapeseed, so it is planted else." Chu Jiu looked at the green vegetable tree.

"It's okay, I'll plant it next year." Tao Qini smiled.

"Master, Madam, Miss, Uncle Tao, Aunt Tao..." Mu Qing and Jing Hong came in with their arms, fish and wooden barrels, and looked at them excitedly and said.

"Are you going to catch fish?" Tao Qini said, looking at the spoils in their hands.

"There are also loaches." Jing Hong put down the wooden barrel in her hand and said, "So many, so many." He quickly clasped his fists and saluted, "Master..."

Mu Qing was holding a fish in his hand. This gift was not true, nor was it true that he did not.

"No gifts, no gifts, don't give them a gift." Chu Jiu looked at the two of them and said hurriedly, "Hurry up and take them to the kitchen! Let's eat fish today?" His eyes turned to Tao Qini and the others and asked, "How?"

"Listen to the Lord." Tao Qini responded hurriedly, "I think this fish is so big, so make fish balls! There are no thorns, so don't worry about eating it. Fish balls and rice noodle soup, okay!"

"Okay!" Zhong Yuxiu nodded gently, "As for loaches? How about stir-frying with chili peppers?"

"Okay!" Tao Qini nodded with a smile, "Let's go in and talk."

"You guys go in first, Sister Tao and I will go to the backyard to take a look." Zhong Yuxiu stepped forward and held her arm and said.

"I'm going too." Chu Zeyuan said, looking at them with great enthusiasm.

"What are you doing? Stay in the front yard with your father." Zhong Yuxiu looked at him with a stern face and said, "Be good, we will come here later. This back yard is like the back yard of the Luzhou family, and there is nothing good to look at." He winked at Chu Zeyuan.

"Okay then!" Chu Zeyuan said obediently.

"Let's go! Let's go in the house, the sun is burning outside." Chu Jiu said, holding his youngest son who wanted to make trouble, and everyone entered the house together.

Mu Qing quickly brought the tea, melon seeds and peanuts.

The second young master peeled off all the peanuts and melon seeds, chopped them up, and scooped them with a small wooden spoon to eat.

The second young master watched his brother eat melon seeds and peel peanuts. His big black eyes stared at the melon seeds and peanuts. His chubby little hands secretly wanted to touch them.

How could that be possible! Chu Jiu and Chu Zeyuan stared at him without blinking, how could he succeed in sneaking!

"Be good, eat this, the taste is the same and it won't get stuck." Chu Jiu said patiently to coax him.

"Eat this, otherwise don't eat it." Chu Zeyuan looked at the second young master with a stern face and said.

The second young master looked at the plate in Chu Jiu's hand with big black grape-like eyes, and looked at the melon seeds and peanuts on the round table.

After hesitating for a moment, he picked up the wooden spoon and decisively threw it into Chu Jiu's arms.

Seeing this, Chu Jiu looked at Chu Zeyuan with a funny look and said, "Did you all let him choose this way?"

"The second brother is so naughty." Chu Zeyuan complained and started to criticize Xiao Douding for his "good" work. Although he is not a big deal, he is really a destructive maniac.

Chu Jiu laughed loudly, making up for the regret of not being by their side.

"Dad, you can look at the paintings drawn by your mother and you will know your second brother's great achievements." Chu Zeyuan said with a smile.

"Okay!" Chu Jiu nodded with a smile.

Zhong Yuxiu led Tao Qini to look inside and out of the backyard, exactly like her previous home.

"Thank you!" Tao Qini looked at Zhong Yuxiu with a moving expression and said gratefully, she could feel it with no intention.

The window frames are inlaid with glass and solid-colored pink curtains are hung.

I really understand her preferences!
