“There are all kinds of people in this world. There are many people who hate the rich. It’s not strange.” Zhou Ying smiled.

“Indeed, but from the sound of it, it should be a drunkard causing trouble. It’s nothing serious.” Gu Chengye echoed.

Mrs. Liu didn’t speak after that.

“Did you tell your family the good news after you passed the imperial examination?” Zhou Ying asked Gu Chengsi.

“On the day the notice was posted, my big brother sent a letter home. I think they should be receiving it as we’re speaking.”

“That’s good. This is a joyous occasion for the entire family. You have to celebrate properly when you return.”

“Are you going back with us this time?” Gu Chengsi nodded and asked.

“Let’s discuss it later. If the hospital can be freed, we’ll go back.”

“Alright, we’ll go together then.”

Very soon, Gu Chengrui walked in and said, “It’s just a few students who failed the exam using alcohol to vent their anger. It’s nothing serious. Let’s hurry up and eat, as it’ll get cold soon.”

“This happens after every examination; it’s not strange.” Gu Chengye said.

He had even seen an old scholar who had hanged himself during the provincial examination last year.

It was said that the person was a student from a mountainous area. When he came out, the money he took out was the silver that the entire village had pooled together for him.

After failing the exams, his heart was filled with guilt, and in the end, he walked down a dead end.

“Indeed, that’s why being a scholar is so precious. Come, let’s toast Chengsi and congratulate him on becoming a scholar.” Gu Chengrui raised his glass for a toast.

Everyone immediately congratulated Gu Chengsi.

After Gu Chengsi downed a glass of wine, he poured a cup of wine and tea for Gu Chengrui and Zhou Ying, respectively. “To be honest, it’s all thanks to you and your wife’s hospitality this time. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to enter the examination hall so easily. Brother Chengye and I thank you here.”

After he finished speaking, he raised his glass and glanced at Gu Chengye.

Gu Chengye immediately stood up and agreed. “Yes, yes. This toast must be made. Not only did you provide us with a good learning environment, but you also provided us with good food and drinks.

“As your brother, I will remember this favor. If you need help in the future, just let me know.”

“I won’t stand on ceremony, so write more letters to us in the future.” Gu Chengrui nodded.

After the three of them put down their glasses, Gu Chengsi poured another glass of wine and raised it. “I also have to thank Brother Chengrui. It was you who made me understand the importance of farming. That’s why I managed to get a few more marks in the court examinations.”

“Oh, there’s something about farming in the court examinations?”

“Yes, it’s on the importance of farming. It sounds like the Emperor wants to separate farming and set up a department that specializes in researching seeds.”

“That’s true. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be a good idea to always rely on Mother God’s bestowment.”

“Indeed, relying on the mountain for food is filled with uncertainty. It’s better to hold it in your own hands.”

After that, they chatted for a while. When Gu Chengrui and the others were drunk, they went home.

Early the next morning, Zhou Ying and Gu Chengrui gave Shizhu a few instructions and drove the carriage out early in the morning.

When they reached the manor at the foot of the mountain, they placed 50 acres worth of grape seedlings and some purple perilla seeds outside the manor.

After that, Gu Chengrui went to the manor to wake up Head Fang and asked them to bring the grape seedlings and seeds into the manor.

“I’ve discussed it with Chengrui. We’ll plant grapes and perillas on this side of the mountain. Then, we’ll plant the rest with soybeans except for the shed.” Zhou Ying said to Head Fang.

“Alright, I’ll find someone to plant the grape seedlings now.” Head Fang nodded and turned around, calling out to all the long-term workers.

Of course, except for a few who stayed behind to feed the livestock, the others all went to the foot of the mountain to plant grapes.

During this time, Gu Chengrui also taught them how to trim the grapevines and plant the extra branches that grew from the grapevines on the mountain into the ground..
