With Lin Yuelan’s ability and her relationship with Jiang Zhennan, it would be absolutely beneficial for him to be on good terms with her. She could very likely help them return to the capital. In that case, there was no need for him to hide it from Lin yuelan.
He believed that Lin Yuelan had her own reasons for asking him about this.
Lin Yuelan nodded and asked seriously, ” do you want to go back to the capital? ”
Zhou Wencai was stunned.
He was shocked by the sudden question.
However, Zhou Wencai immediately reacted and replied in a daze, ” yes, of course, I do!”
They had been in An Ding County for five years. In the process of him becoming a scholar from a small scholar, his father had been sitting in the position of anding County Magistrate.
In the past five years, the father and son had been waiting for the call of the Zhou family in Beijing. Then, they would occupy a place in Beijing.
During this process, they went from anticipation to slight disappointment and finally to despair. They believed that the capital had completely forgotten about them, abandoned them, and given up on them.
Therefore, in their despair, they lived day by day in An Ding County until Lin yuelan produced a high yield of eight stones of grain per mu.
Because this had happened in An Ding County, they suddenly had the hope of returning to the capital.
However, they didn’t expect Lin yuelan to force them to suppress the matter. She only allowed the people of An Ding County to grow grain according to her method.
However, as autumn had passed and winter was coming, all the planting in An Ding County had not been carried out yet. As a result, they could not see any achievements, so they could only patiently wait for the next spring’s harvest.
However, when he suddenly heard Lin yuelan ask them if they wanted to return to the capital, he suddenly felt excited and excited. He didn’t know why he had this feeling.
However, his intuition told him that the girl in front of him could help them.
Hearing his answer, Lin yuelan nodded in satisfaction. “that’s good.”
Then, she said seriously, ” Brother Zhou, I don’t want to let Ji Zhongcai get away with it, so I want to support you. Do you understand what I mean? ”
Zhou Wencai was truly shocked beyond words.
If these words had come from an ordinary child, he would definitely have thought that this child was indulging in a fantasy or had lost his mind. He would have thought that she was talking nonsense and could not take it seriously.
However, these words came from a child who had created one legendary story after another, so he had no choice but to take it seriously. In fact, he took it seriously.
Lin Yuelan’s words were simple, but they contained a deep meaning.
What kind of support could a commoner provide an official?
As for Lin Yuelan, an ordinary farmer’s daughter, other than having some assets now and knowing Jiang Zhennan, the defender-general of the state who appeared out of nowhere in the village, she had almost no money or connections. However, when she said that she would support them, Zhou Wencai believed it in his heart.
This was how strange things felt!
Zhou Wencai still couldn’t believe it. “sister Yuelan, is what you said true? ”
Lin yuelan nodded seriously and said, “It’s all true. I just don’t know if you and your father are willing to make a bet, ”
Relying on a peasant girl like her to help a County Magistrate enter the capital was like a gamble on fate. They had handed everything over to Lin yuelan.
If he won, he would have a boundless future, and if he lost, he would have nothing!
Zhou Wencai felt that this matter was too serious. He didn’t dare agree to it for a while.
He said, ” sister yuelan, this is too serious. I have to go back and discuss it with my father!”
Lin yuelan replied, ” alright. I’ll only give you three days. If you don’t give me an answer in three days, I’ll take it that you’re not willing to make a bet.”
Zhou Wencai replied in a very cautious manner, ” yes, I understand.
After that, he left the Lin family Village in a hurry. Lin yuelan looked at the gray sky and said coldly, ” the sky should be blue!”

At the Yan Family, the new Butler said to Yan Lin, ” master, master, the greenhouse of more than 100 mu has been completed today. We can plant the seeds tomorrow. But, old master, what kind of seeds are you planning to plant?”
