Fu Tian remained silent. Chu Xiangtian's words made Fu Tian realize that he was too impatient, just like... it was done specifically for a purpose.

They can't guess the reason now, but they may not be able to guess the drought next year. Everything they do is preparing for the upcoming drought, but how should they explain the drought that they knew in advance?

Fu Tian bit his lip, feeling guilty and dared not speak, and quickly gave himself a suitable reason.

Seeing him like this, Chu Xiangtian sighed deeply again, rubbed his head, and looked helpless and a little indulgent, "Why are there so many little secrets?"

“…”

Fu Tian opened his mouth to refute, but for a moment he could not think of a more appropriate reason, so he could only shut up and agree with his statement.

He opened the door and called the sender waiting outside and handed him the reply. Fu Tian turned to several servants to go to the other villages he selected to deliver the letter.

Each farmer needs to hand in a ditches map first, and then Fu Tian confirms that there is no problem before recruiting people to start digging.

The drawings on each farm were sent five days later. Fu Tian carefully compared each drawing, and Chu Xiangtian secretly took them to the Minister of Works to see them before he told the village to start construction.

The delay was several days, and it was already mid-June, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter. Even wearing thin silk, people were sweating profusely. Things in the village began in an orderly manner. Wen Boli, who was still suppressing the price, was still buying at a lower price as he told him.

Fu Tian became idle instead. His daily work was to study. August was about to be in. If he wanted to get a good fortune, he had to work harder, but the hot weather made him unable to calm down at all.

"It's better to go to the village to get rid of the heat."

The little Bingjian in front of Fu Tian was replaced, and Chu Xiangtian fanned him with a fan. He grew up in the north and had never experienced the dampness and heat in the south. Now he is patient with the perseverance he trained in the army.

The young master did not have this patience, and he was almost the same as the wilted cabbage in the field.

Fu Tian pulled the collar and threw the book in his hand on the table in annoyance. There was nothing he wanted to worry about anyway. The autumn test was about to come, so he had to calm down to prepare for the exam.

So they arranged the matter in the shop, and Fu Tian and Chu Xiangtian picked up a not-so-hot early morning, and drove the carriage to the village.

Zhuangzi is surrounded by mountains and water, and the terrain is wide. Although the sun above his head is as hot as it is, at least there is a hint of breeze and the dark green shade of trees is not so annoying.

This time, I came here without someone to send me a message. Fu Tian walked to the backyard familiarly and saw that his mother, sister and Zhou Chuanqing were sitting together chatting on the octagonal pavilion in the center of the backyard lake.

The lotus flowers bloom in the lake just in time, and the breeze makes the fragrance of lotus smell. The three people in the pavilion were very happy and before they got close, they could hear the vague sound of writing poems.

Chu Xiangtian looked at this scene and his eyebrows were jumping, while Fu Tian was surprised to see the chill coming from the pavilion after approaching.

Fu Shuyue, who was facing him, was the first to see him and smiled and said, "Why did you come here suddenly? Are you finished doing the work on the shop?"

Fu Tian complained: "The house is too hot, I'll come here to avoid the heat. Why don't you tell me if you have such good things?"

Standing in front of Bingjian who was half a man tall, Fu Tian felt a hint of coolness and looked at this big-changing Bingjian curiously.

The Bingjian in front of him said it was an Bingjian, not an Icejian. In front there were five water droplets in the shape of extremely thin fan pieces. Behind the fan pieces was connected a wooden box three feet long and two feet wide. The wooden box was very thick and there was a whole piece of ice inside, only the side facing the fan pieces was open, emitting a visible cold air.

Five fan pieces were connected by a somewhat thick wooden shaft. A maid next to her was holding the handle of the rotation shaft and slowly turned the wind from the fan pieces. The coolness of the ice was brought to the coldness of ice even in this pavilion.

"This is the improved Bingjian, which was made by Chuanqingzi instructed the old carpenter in the village." Fu Youqin said with a smile.

Although the village is not as hot as the town, the hot weather makes people not want to go out. Only then did Zhou Chuanqing instruct the old carpenter to make this new ice cream.

Fortunately, there was still ice hidden in the cellar on the farm. After putting it in, the results were good, several people came out to sit down occasionally.

Chu Xiangtian stared at Bingjian and twitched. This thing was developed by the people of the Ministry of Works to please the Queen. Because the Queen of Works was afraid of heat, there were many skilled craftsmen in the Ministry of Works, so he made this thing called "ice fan" and offered it. The ice fan offered was one person high, not by hand, but was stepped on with his feet like a water wheel. After using it, the Queen of Works was very satisfied and ordered the Ministry of Works to make more and give it to the wives of several important officials as a reward.

If I remember correctly, Mrs. Zhou was rewarded with one.

Zhou Chuanqing would use flowers to offer Buddha. Chu Xiangtian raised his eyebrows lightly and glanced at the smiling Zhou Chuanqing.

Zhou Chuanqing felt the sword-like gaze on his body, and the smile on his face stopped, changing the topic and talking about the main things.

"The autumn test is coming soon, how are you preparing these days?"

Fu Tian wanted to stick to the ice arc and muttered: "It's so hot that I don't have the time to read books, so I came to the village to avoid the summer and calm down."

Zhou Chuanqing pondered for a while and said, "I'll check your progress after lunch. There are less than two months left, so you have to focus on your studies."

Fu Tian nodded, knowing the truth that time is tight.

The four of them sipped in the pavilion for a while, and it was lunch time. After lunch, Fu Tian and Zhou Chuanqing went to the study together.

The same ice clerk was already placed in the study. Fu Tian looked surprised. Zhou Chuanqing smiled and said, "It was done by the craftsman. My aunt was going to send it to you, but I didn't expect you to come here first."

With the cool wind dispelling the heat, Fu Tian calmed down and told Zhou Chuanqing all the time.

There was no lag much. Zhou Chuanqing nodded with satisfaction, drew a few books from the bookshelf, circled the key points one by one, and asked him to focus on these parts.

"The questions in the exam over the years have been quite similar. If you remember all of these, the problem will not be too big."

Fu Tian nodded honestly. He was a little blindly superstitious about Zhou Chuanqing's identity as a Tanhua, so he believed whatever Zhou Chuanqing said and calmly read the book.

Chu Xiangtian did not come in to disturb them. He found the old carpenter and asked the other party to teach him the key points of making ice arcs, so he found the right wood to do it himself.

He always felt that Zhou Chuanqing had been compared. At that time, he thought that he would go to the palace to give the young master a ice fan, but he never thought that he could do it himself. After all, the ready-made minister of the Ministry of Works was there.

Chu Xiangtian, who consciously lost, decided to make an ice cream with his own hands to make the young master happy.

After Zhou Chuanqing assigned Fu Tian's homework, he waved his fan and walked out to find Chu Xiangtian. He saw Chu Xiangtian's face just now. He had never seen the other party's cripple expression several times since he was a child. Now he can't help but come and see him aftertaste.

Chu Xiangtian was holding a saw and saw wood. Although he had never done woodworking, his hands that were used to holding swords were very stable and not clumsy. Therefore, he was very good at doing it. All the required parts were done in a short while and assembled.

Zhou Chuanqing squatted in front of him and fanned him leisurely, "Why don't you let the craftsmen do it?"

Chu Xiangtian glanced at him and said dissatisfiedly: "What do you want to do?"

Zhou Chuanqing continued to shake the fan and said slowly: "I want to be your brother-in-law."

“…”

After a moment of silence, Chu Xiangtian frowned and asked, "Are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious. When did you see me joking about it?"

This is indeed not true. Zhou Chuanqing is a very picky person. There are many ladies at home who have arranged to meet, but none of them look down on him. No matter how Mrs. Zhou cried and urged him to put pressure on him, he never compromised. He is indeed not a person who would joke about marriage matters.

Chu Xiangtian snorted coldly and stopped talking. Although he was not satisfied with Zhou Chuanqing's decision, he was a child who had been through life and death. If Zhou Chuanqing really fell in love with Miss Fu, he would not obstruct it. However, when he thought that the future would be true, he had to call the other brother-in-law reversely, and his expression would be very ugly.

"You are waiting."

"If others know about it, they will probably be able to make this joke for you for a year."

Zhou Chuanqing continued with a smile, no one of the children who grew up together had been trapped by Chu Xiangtian. Everyone had a lot of resentment and had to vent it.

Chu Xiangtian sneered coldly. If he could coax the young master back to the capital, would those unmarried kids have any face to laugh at him? He glanced at Zhou Chuanqing, who was full of confidence and mocked him: "When will you let me call my brother-in-law and show off again."
