Chapter 2454: Chapter 2454: Just Rumors?

After washing up, she drew up the plans. By the time everything was ready, breakfast was heated up too.

Pork buns with a bowl of millet porridge, plus a plate of delicate pastries, apparently prepared by Qian Jiyun early in the morning. It truly smelled delightful.

“Ah, it smells so good.”

She inhaled the steaming aroma and remarked.

The next moment, she began having breakfast, feeling quite hungry, which suggested she had overslept.

“An Jiuyue, this is for you to eat.”

Halfway through breakfast, Qian Jiyun appeared. The three children were still under the tree and didn’t follow him upstairs. He came to deliver some wild fruits.

There are still some small fruits that ripen in the mountain during spring. He’d gone early to pick some for An Jiuyue.

He knew she loved these, and she hadn’t tasted them in years.

“You went to pick these wild fruits, didn’t you?”

An Jiuyue raised an eyebrow, looking at the small wild fruits placed on a large leaf.

These wild fruits were only the size of a little pinky finger and hidden in the grass, making them particularly troublesome to pick. Who knew her husband was so patient?

But then again, thinking about it now, there wasn’t much to do, so he had plenty of time to pick them patiently.

“Where did you pick them? I’ll go pick some in the morning too. There’s nothing much to do, and I want to brew some wild fruit wine,” she said, eager to tackle small tasks since there were no major ones now.

“Alright, we’ll go with you in the morning, with the kids and An Jiuyue too.”

“Then I’ll weave a few small baskets.” With a smile on her face, An Jiuyue said this and left.

Over the years, she had eaten quite a few wild fruits from the mountains. They tasted quite good, though she never thought of brewing wine with them before.

“Look, this is the blueprint I drew up. Why don’t you make the swing according to this design?” An Jiuyue handed the drawn-up blueprint to Qian Jiyun and asked him.

“Okay.”

Qian Jiyun took just one glance at the blueprint and immediately agreed.

…

In An Clan Village, due to County Magistrate Shi’s arrangement, An Que soon had classmates coming over to visit him.

Moreover, the classmate deliberately pulled him aside mysteriously to quietly tell him the ‘news’ he had ‘heard’ from the county government, intentionally exaggerating it a bit.

“Really? Brother Ziyu, you’re not just spreading rumors, are you?” An Que listened to his classmate’s words, his expression turning stern, though still somewhat skeptical.

In Daqing Kingdom, anyone who passed the scholar exam wouldn’t fail to register land under their relatives’ names.

If there was really going to be a reform, it would cause quite a stir and chaos. How come he hadn’t received any news about it here?

Could it be that because he lived in a rural village, he was out of touch with the news?

“What rumors? This is the real deal.”

The classmate knew An Que was a sly one, not easy to trick, but he wasn’t a pushover either.

With County Magistrate personally assigning the task, how could he not do his best? Besides, who didn’t know about the tax grain eaten by An Que’s relatives’ family?

He had been annoyed for a long time. They were all relatives. How could he feed on them like that and not fear choking?

“Brother An, to tell you the truth, I have connections in the county government. If it weren’t for our brotherhood, I wouldn’t have come to tell you this specifically.”

“Is it really true?”

An Que began to believe it since he knew this classmate indeed had someone in the county government.
