That night, the Hun prince went back to the palace and proposed to the emperor the matter of changing and choosing a relative. When he heard that he didn't even want the daughter of the general's mansion, but insisted on marrying a small daughter of the Qiao family, the emperor thought for a moment I hallucinated myself.
The emperor's unbelievable eyes fell on the second prince, but he said to Eunuch Fu, "Eunuch Fu, did you hear what the second prince said?"
Eunuch Fu smiled wryly and said, "The second prince said that he is going to resign from Miss Doro's marriage and marry Miss Qiao's family instead."
"Ah." The emperor still didn't come back to his senses. He looked at the second prince and the envoys of the Xiongnu with even weirder expressions beside him. After a while, he collected himself and said, "The second prince is very kind to Duo Luoqianjin." What's the dissatisfaction?"
It didn't seem like an ordinary dissatisfaction, but it seemed that something happened suddenly, which made him suddenly interested in Miss Qiao's family.
But the emperor didn't want to puncture the window paper too much for the time being. All the actions of the second prince of the Xiongnu during the Liang Dynasty were free. Even if he really tried to meet the lady of the Qiao family, he had nothing to say.
The expression on the second prince's face has never been more serious: "Your Majesty, you have been cheated. I met you today. Miss Doro, she is really, well, decent."
The emperor was quite happy to hear him speak broken Chinese, and couldn't help laughing.
Eunuch Fu cleared his throat.
The emperor suppressed his smile and said with a serious face, "How did you see her?"
Of course the second prince can't say that King Yin specially asked him to find out the true face of Lushan Mountain, and King Yin stabbed him in both sides. He couldn't betray King Yin. She drinks, a lot of wine, shameless, a woman who drinks, I don't, I like it."
You can't mention your ugly appearance, otherwise you will appear to be too immature.
During the women's double name festival in Daliang Dynasty, even going out is restricted on weekdays, let alone drinking heavily in public, it is simply unseemly, this alone is not eligible to be sent abroad.
The emperor was silent. He knew the three children of Doro's family. The eldest was gentle and sensible, the second was weak and sickly, and the third was savage since childhood, like a little monkey. The reason why he chose her as a marriage partner was because of her identity. It is heavy enough to show the sincerity of Daliang and the Xiongnu's eternal friendship; secondly, it has an extraordinary appearance and looks like a fairy, so I don't worry about not being able to capture the heart of the second prince; thirdly, it is her temperament, a woman who is too gentle and weak I'm afraid that kind of barbarian land can't survive at all. It takes a little monkey like her to bloom a delicate and beautiful flower on the grassland.
But now, the temperament that was playing into his hands accidentally caused trouble.
Sure enough, that sentence has been verified, everything is a double-edged sword.
With a flash of thought, the emperor frowned inadvertently, and looked at the second prince with a gentle smile: "If it's just that she doesn't like drinking, I just tell her to get rid of this problem. This child is usually very well-behaved, maybe Knowing that I was given a marriage, I was so happy that I couldn't help but celebrate."
Eunuch Fu also obeyed the master's ability to turn black and white.
The second prince didn't want to divorce the engagement just because of her drinking, but mainly because of her face that could scare the dead to life. It was too scary. Just thinking about it, he felt like he didn't want to eat dinner today: "Your Majesty, I heard that, You Central Plains, there is an old saying, country is easy to change, nature is hard to change, in front of you, she changed, follow me, go back, she does not change, then, what should I do?"
The second prince, who was not good at expressing Chinese, was able to come up with such a brilliant truth, and the emperor was speechless.
"It's mine, wife. I want it. I choose it." The second prince said without hesitation. It was related to his happiness for the rest of his life. He still had confidence in this insistence.
In all fairness, to the emperor, it doesn't matter whether it is Duo Luo Mingzhu or Qiao Yuxi who is married, anyway, neither of them is his daughter, but it is a matter of the face of a country, he still hopes that the one who will be given away will be a noble daughter who can support her. If you choose a family, otherwise choose a young lady from an infamous family, and the Huns will blame him for being insincere and fooling the Huns casually, he will be speechless.
The envoys also advised their princes one after another not to lose the big because of small things. General Doro is the most feared general of the Huns. They will think twice before acting in the face of their daughter, which is why they would rather have a lot of money than a princess.
But the second prince was already frightened by Duoluo Mingzhu's appearance, and was also deeply attracted by Qiao Yuxi's beauty. He couldn't listen to anything right now, he just wanted to get rid of that ugly monster quickly and marry the little beauty back to his room .
The emperor tried to persuade the second prince with hypocrisy, and the second prince unswervingly asked Qiao Yuxi to marry him, and all the envoys knelt down for him. This marriage is not a trifling matter, how can you choose a woman from such a weak background
The second prince moved out the rhetoric of the grace of dripping water and the spring of repayment, saying that if it was not for Marquis Yongen, he would have died long ago, so there is no need to talk about getting married this time. His life was given by Marquis Yongen, to repay Marquis Yongen It should be.
The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched, boy, you are not repaying your kindness, you are repaying your kindness with revenge...
After the verbal confrontation, the second prince switched back to the Xiongnu language. The emperor didn't understand a word, and saw the second prince beating his chest and stamping his feet, and several envoys smoked from their seven orifices. Finally, all the envoys shut up, and the second prince's face showed The glory of victory.
The emperor knew that the second prince had won, but he didn't expect that the little idiot whose mother tongue failed to pass the Chinese language was at the tenth level, one person fighting ten people, without any pressure.
The emperor has such a helpless look on his face. Why did I meet a man like you who goes back and forth? I made a marriage for you. You don’t want it. You slap me in the face, but I’m really kind, so I decided to forgive you… with that look, sigh Tone: "Since the second prince is so persistent, then I will make the second prince complete!"
The news that he and his relatives had been replaced reached the General's Mansion and the Enbo Mansion that night.
The female relatives of the general's mansion were weeping with joy, and General Duo Luo heaved a long sigh of relief. When the emperor gave his youngest daughter a marriage, he promised readily, but he was extremely reluctant in his heart, but he had no choice but to sacrifice a Daughter, in exchange for the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers and common people at the border, he thought, he would rather be a cruel father.
He planned to feel guilty for the rest of his life, but who would have thought that the marriage would be canceled? This was a surprise, a surprise!
If it's a coincidence, it's fine, if it's artificial, then he owes that person a huge debt of gratitude by Duo Luojue.
Contrary to the relief of the general's mansion, the Enbo mansion immediately exploded when it learned that Qiao Yuxi was going to be selected to marry the Huns.
Xu accidentally broke his favorite cloisonné enamel vase.
The elder son had just had such a fatal incident, and she was already on the verge of collapse, but now that her daughter had another accident, she was about to go crazy!
"Why did this happen? Why is it Xi'er? Didn't you already decide on the Miss Doro's family? Why did you suddenly change your mind?" With a pale face, she fell down on the chair.
Qiao Yueshan also wondered, what on earth was the emperor thinking? Being with his relatives is a big deal, so how can he casually marry a daughter? It stands to reason that the daughters of the Duoluo Mansion are not qualified enough, and the sincerity of the Liang Dynasty can be shown only when the princess and princess of the royal family go out of the fortress, but the Duoluo family holds the military power, and the value of the Duoluo Qianjin is not lower than that of the princess. I chose her, but... how did she become my daughter
He didn't think that the daughter of the Qiao family was so valuable that she could represent a decent dynasty.
What happened during this period
Xu cried until her heart was broken: "Master, you should think of a way! You can't marry Xi'er to the Huns! In that kind of place, a man would not live long if he went there, let alone such a weak Xi'er? She was born with a weak disease in her mother's womb, and she was cured after several years of recuperation in the Taoist temple... Send her to the place of wind and sand, and she will die... "
Qiao Yueshan frowned: "You think I'm willing to marry Xi'er to that kind of place? But what can I do? This is the emperor's order!"
Xu said abruptly: "Didn't the emperor give back the order to the Duo Luo family? Didn't he also change his mind? What's so difficult about changing his mind again?"
Qiao Yueshan said angrily: "You said it lightly! Can the Qiao family and the Duo Luo family compare?"
The couple seemed to put the account on the general's mansion, thinking that the general's mansion played some tricks in front of the emperor, so that the emperor replaced the marriage candidate.
The general's mansion is definitely guilty of this, but the general's mansion is not wronged. After all, it is the daughter of the general's mansion who benefits. You can't just pick up a big deal without paying any price. How can there be such a thing in the world? good thing
But it's okay even if the General's Mansion takes the blame, what kind of family status is the Qiao family? What kind of family status is the General's Mansion? Does the rabbit dare to choke with the tiger? No matter how angry the Qiao family was, they didn't dare to go to the general's mansion to make trouble.
This second dumb loss, the Qiao family is also determined.
Qiao Yuxi and Duo Luo Mingzhu had a bad time. At the beginning, she distorted the facts and put Qiao Wei, mother and son in prison. In order to vent her anger on her second sister, Duo Luo Mingzhu ran into the prison and fought Qiao Wei. Qiao Wei was repaired, and when Duo Luo Mingzhu found out the truth later, she took all her anger on Qiao Yuxi's head, and was humiliated in front of the prime minister. Qiao Yuxi will remember that feeling for the rest of her life!
This time, Qiao Yuxi heard that the Pearl of Dorothy was given to the prince of the Xiongnu. She felt very happy, and even asked her father to draw a portrait of the prince of the Xiongnu. When she saw the triangular face that was enough to ward off evil spirits, she suddenly laughed Out!
To marry such an ugly monster, Do Luo Mingzhu would cry to death
It's just that Qiao Yuxi didn't laugh for a long time, when she heard the servant girl come into the room to report that the imperial palace came and said that she and her relatives had chosen to become her.
Qiao Yuxi's smile froze on her face...
…
The news of the capital came and spread quickly, almost as soon as the emperor made an order that night, it spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital the next day. Qiao Wei wanted to know whether her "good intentions" had worked, so she woke up early and arrived at Yung Kee inquires about the news.
At noon, a few merchants from the capital city came. Qiao Wei sent a plate of freshly made quail eggs and preserved eggs. While asking the merchants how the new dishes tasted, they inquired about major events in the capital.
The tall and thin merchant said with a smile: "If you want to talk about a major event, there is nothing more important than the marriage between our Liang Dynasty and the Xiongnu!"
Qiao Wei showed a look of surprise: "Oh? Who is going to marry? Is it our princess from Daliang?"
"No." The merchant smiled, "It's a daughter of an aristocratic family. It is said that the Xiongnu prince himself fell in love with it. That daughter's father cured the Xiongnu prince's illness. The Xiongnu prince reciprocated and decided to marry his daughter as the princess."
Isn't this Qiao Yuxi
Qiao Wei pursed the corners of her lips that had accidentally turned up high, and went upstairs happily.
Although she was fooling around seamlessly yesterday, Qiao Wei was still a little worried that the second prince would be sober-minded after leaving the restaurant and put the country's overall interests first. In that case, Qiao Yuxi's status would definitely not be comparable to that of Duoluo Mingzhu.
Didn't expect him to actually do it.
It really is a hero but a beauty.
Well, that's great!
It's worth celebrating!
Qiao Wei went downstairs with a smile, and decided to go to the market to buy some ingredients and cook a table of good dishes at home. As soon as she walked out the door, she was blocked by a tall and burly figure.
There was a faint scent of incense on the man's body, mixed with his masculine breath, which actually smelled very good, but Qiao Wei just frowned, and took a sideways step away from him.
The man also took a step sideways, once again blocking the way.
Qiao Wei took another step to the right, and he did the same.
Qiao Wei sighed: "What's the matter, Your Highness Prince Yin?"
There were so many people at the gate, King Yin grabbed her wrist and dragged her into an alley beside him, then looked at her coldly, with undisguised murderousness in his eyes, overwhelming: "Did you do it?" ?”
"What is it?" Qiao Wei pretended to be stupid.
King Yin clenched his fists tightly, resisting the urge to punch her to death, and said word by word: "Don't pretend to be crazy in front of this king!"
There was no fear in Qiao Wei's eyes, she met his cannibalistic gaze, and said, "Who is the first to pretend to be crazy? When I met the second prince of the Huns, I didn't hide my identity at all. Not only did I tell him that I am Rong Ji I also told her that the Enbo Mansion is my natal family, what? Isn't that obvious enough? The prince is still asking if it's me?"
What King Yin wants to say is not this: "You lied to him that you are my king's woman!"
Qiao Wei raised her eyebrows: "Is this the main point of the prince? The prince seems to have lost a strong ally, shouldn't he think about how to recover the loss? Why did he come to me and ask me if I admit that I am the prince's woman?" ?”
As she said that, Qiao Wei smiled slightly, "My lord, you don't really like me, do you?"
King Yin said angrily: "You have a good idea! Even if you take off your clothes and stand in front of me, I won't have any thoughts about you!"
Qiao Wei twirled the braid hanging on her chest: "According to this, it shouldn't be true that I climbed into the prince's bed five years ago. The prince just said it himself. I can't confuse you even if I take it off."
"You..." King Yin choked.
Qiao Wei smiled and said: "I have to clarify with King Yin, I never admitted to Prince Xiongnu that I am your woman, I just said 'I belong to the prince...' and I didn't say anything later, everything was his own guess Yes, in fact, what I want to say is that I am the prince's enemy, but well, the national scandal must not be publicized, so we will not lose face in front of the Huns."
Prince Yin was so angry that he was almost speechless, it was clear that this woman deliberately misled the second prince, and deliberately misrepresented his identity to confuse the public, but in the end, he guessed it himself and pushed it cleanly!
"Mr. Qiao, why do you always fight against the king over and over again?"
"You really want to know the reason? Well, let me tell you." Qiao Wei withdrew her smile and looked at him seriously, "You stabbed me without finding out anything, and almost killed me; you In order to protect myself, you put the responsibility on me alone, which caused me to be kicked out of the house; you ignored me when you knew that I might be pregnant with your child, and I suffered a lot in the past five years, and finally died Guixi, tell me, should I hate you?"
King Yin frowned: "Why did you die, didn't you live a good life?"
Qiao Wei said lightly: "Don't pretend to be crazy, the front is the key point."
King Yin choked again, and after a while, he blushed and said: "You offended me, shouldn't I kill you?"
Qiao Wei said indifferently: "Are you so sure that I am the one who offended you? Why can't someone eat your tofu and use me as a scapegoat?"
King Yin said without thinking: "This is impossible!"
Qiao Wei looked at him: "Is it impossible, or do you not want it to be impossible? I don't believe that there is no doubt about what happened back then. It was you who insisted on deceiving yourself!"
King Yin was furious: "You are not allowed to slander me!"
"Are you guilty?" Qiao Wei sneered.
King Yin clasped Qiao Wei's wrist with such force that he almost broke Qiao Wei's hand bones: "Is this how you misunderstood this king? You don't hesitate to fight against this king again and again! It seems that this king treats you Great, you have forgotten your identity!"
Qiao Weiyun said lightly: "I know my identity very well, but the prince doesn't know about himself, and the prince doesn't think about how the current holy family came here. If the Xiongnu broke with the Daliang Dynasty in the future, the emperor will be the first to vent his anger. Man, I'm afraid it is the prince, if I were the prince, I would have closed the door long ago to prepare for the rainy day, how could I have the heart to care about some petty things with a woman?"
King Yin said with cold eyes: "Do you know what the marriage between the second prince and the Duo Luo family means to this king?"
I know, that's why she messed up!
Qiao Wei looked at him innocently.
King Yin pushed her against the cold wall: "Qiao Wei, don't think that you can do whatever you want to this king just because you gave birth to this king's flesh and blood. This king warned you for the last time, if you dare to go against this king again, this king will kill you!" you!"
Qiao Wei smiled lightly: "Welcome anytime."
Prince Yin shook off her hand coldly, and left the place without looking back.
After confirming that the person had gone far away, Qiao Wei's expression relaxed, she squeezed her painful wrist, and gasped twice: "Bastard! So strong! No woman should like you!"
…
The matter of Qiao Yuxi and the Xiongnu was settled like this. To be honest, the emperor felt very sorry for Qiao Yuanshi. He is just a daughter and a delicate master. If he really went to the Huns, he still doesn't know what will happen. look.
Eunuch Fu comforted: "Didn't you just make him a Marquis? He should be content."
That's right, I made him a marquis, which is a kind of compensation.
The emperor was glad that he was so foresighted!
After confirming the candidates for the marriage, the next step is to discuss the regulations for the marriage. The emperor summoned the Minister of Rites and several humerus ministers to the imperial study.
"Dear dear ministers, do you have any good suggestions for this marriage?" the emperor asked unhurriedly.
An old man surnamed Yang said: "I think that Miss Qiao's status is not valuable enough. The emperor can follow the example of Emperor Cheng and adopt her as a righteous daughter, canonize her as a princess, and marry her in a grand manner on behalf of my Daliang royal family."
Emperor Cheng was the emperor's grandfather, and because of the tense border relationship, he adopted a method of marriage. At that time, Emperor Cheng did not have a daughter of the right age, so he chose a daughter with both ability and political integrity from the family, canonized her as Princess Gaoyang, and married him outside the Great Wall.
The emperor hummed and nodded.
Another Ge old man surnamed Zhou said: "The minister thought it was wrong, and Emperor Cheng accepted her as a righteous daughter because there were no princesses to marry at that time, but now, the royal family has at least three princesses of the right age. Replacing it with a fake phoenix? It might not be too much of a cover-up."
Old Yang Ge sneered: "According to you, shouldn't the princess be referred to the second prince from the very beginning?"
At the beginning, he really thought about appointing a princess, but the emperor felt that he didn't have to wait for the Xiongnu for those pampered daughters, and would die halfway. At that time, he still had to choose a strong daughter from the family.
Zhou Ge snorted and said, "I didn't say that. I just think we can marry whoever we choose. There's no need to make a false identity. It's not disgusting!"
Yang Ge glared: "Who are you calling disgusting?!"
Such quarrels are commonplace, and the emperor was very numb. After the two quarreled until the two blushed and their necks were thick, and their saliva was sprayed all over the room, the emperor finally opened his mouth: "What is the prime minister's opinion?"
The two elders quickly fell silent.
It's okay to quarrel with the emperor, the emperor is a benevolent emperor, and he won't do anything to them, the prime minister can't say for sure.
Moreover, this daughter once had a marriage contract with the prime minister, and it is said that she withdrew it again. I don't know if talking about this kind of thing in front of him, would he be embarrassed
Disappointing everyone, Ji Mingxiu showed no embarrassment at all, as calm as if he didn't know Miss Qiao at all.
Ji Mingxiu looked at the emperor faintly, the room was so quiet that he could hear the sound of the wind blowing the pages of the book, he said slowly: "I think, whether it's a princess or a daughter, it's all on the bright side. It sounds good, but it may not be practical, I really want to show the sincerity of the talks between Liang and Liang, and it is enough to give the Xiongnu what they want, and no matter who they marry, if they get real benefits, this peace talk will be considered perfect."
Everyone nodded, the marriage is just a means, how to make both sides benefit is the key to the repair of the two countries.
Yang Ge said: "The Xiongnu are barren. I heard that their royal court is not as good as the mansion of a second-rank official in Daliang. It is better to give more gold and silver treasures as a dowry."
Zhou Ge said: "The plague broke out in the Xiongnu, just when there is a shortage of medicinal materials, you can also attach some emergency medicinal materials. Also, seeing that autumn is coming, I heard that the winter of the Xiongnu is very sad. There is no pasture, and the cattle and sheep are hungry. If you are dead, it would be great if you can attach supplies for the winter."
On this point, the two Ge elders reached a consensus.
The Minister of Rites kept silent and memorized silently.
Ji Mingxiu suddenly said: "It is better to teach people how to fish than to give them fish. It is better to give them something sustainable when the dead things will eventually be used up."
"For example?" asked the emperor.
Ji Mingxiu said: "For example, farming techniques."
The emperor touched his chin.
Old Zhou Ge said with a chuckle: "Is the prime minister joking? The Xiongnu are either pastures or Gobi, or Gobi or desert. How to farm? I am afraid that the crops will be droughted to death within a few days of planting."
Ji Mingxiu smiled lightly and said, "If Mr. Ge can't do it, he thinks that others can't do it. How is this different from the frog in the well?"
Zhou Ge blushed.
The emperor said thoughtfully: "It's not that the Xiongnu have no people to farm, but most of the soil there is not suitable for crop growth, and they can't grow much."
Ji Mingxiu said calmly: "The minister once heard that a strange person came out of a nearby village and planted all the wasteland in the ten miles and eight towns. The emperor might as well send someone to find out. If this is true, Then, let Ms. Qiao go to the farmer's house to learn farming skills. A daughter who is willing to condescend to the Huns, work tirelessly, and learn farming skills in person will definitely be respected by the Huns royal family and loved by the Huns. This is the blessing of Miss Qiao, the blessing of the Huns, and the blessing of my great Liang."
The words were so impeccable that the emperor was persuaded on the spot, summoned the Minister of the Household Department and Da Sinong overnight, and assigned the tasks.
Hubu Shangshu's actions were extremely fast, and he found out that the pioneers were in Rhinoceros Village in one day, and before dawn on the third day, Hubu Shangshu went to Rhinoceros Village with Da Sinong.
It's been a long time since anyone from the village came to the government office. The last time Jing Yun was selected as a prodigy, an official came to announce the good news in person. The village chief remembered the sensation at that time, and the whole village came to watch.
This time was no exception. From the moment the two adults in black official uniforms stepped out of the carriage, the villagers crowded around curiously as if they were watching a monkey show.
The Minister of the Household Department brushed off his wide sleeves. He came here in a hurry and did not inform the magistrate. The people below did not know the way, so he asked an honest-looking old man: "Old man, is your village chief here?"
Shuanzi's father was flattered and said: "Yes, yes! Village chief! Village chief! My lord is here to find you!"
When he yelled a few times, the ears of Shangshu and Da Sinong went numb.
The village head was working in the field, when he heard Shuanzi's father calling, he threw away his hoe and ran over: "What sir? Which sir? Is it the county magistrate?"
Hubu Shangshu frowned.
The village chief looked at their attire, they were not like the officials in the county, but they were many times more prestigious than the officials who announced the good news last time, the village chief hurriedly welcomed the two into his house, and said to the villagers who followed up to join in the fun : "What are you looking at? There is no need to do anything in the fields? They are all gone! They are gone!"
Where are the people willing to disperse? Just stand at his door, looking inside.
The village chief's wife brewed two cups of tea nervously and excitedly: "My lords, please take it slowly. This is a new Dragon Well tea produced this year."
The two sneered in their hearts, this year's drought, my family doesn't have a Longjing, you, a small village head, can get such a good thing—
Take a sip.
Stop thinking.
It really is Longjing!
How did the village head of such a small place get Longjing? !
"Hey." The village chief smiled innocently. Xiao Qiao gave him two catties of Longjing, and he only drank a little.
Hubu Shangshu drank half of his glass, then put down the glass reservedly.
The wife of the village head quickly filled it up.
Pour the tea as full as the wine, it can be said to be very simple!
Hubu Shangshu drank half of it out of face, and put it on the table again, and the wife of the village chief filled it up again.
Shangshu Hube was very satisfied, and he had a very good impression of this village in an instant!
"The two adults are..." the village head asked with a smile.
Hubu Shangshu introduced himself and Da Si Nong's identities, and the village head was so frightened that he fell on the chair!
Obediently, high officials in the capital!
Hubu Shangshu said calmly: "I heard that there is a strange person in your village who can grow things out of the wasteland. Is there such a thing?"
The village head suppressed the tension in his heart, swallowed his saliva, and said, "There are some, and they live on the mountain. Is Lord Shang Shu looking for her?"
Hubu Shangshu said: "Don't worry, take me and Da Sinong to see the land he has planted."
"yes!"
The village head led the two adults to the sorghum field in the East Village. After three months, the sorghum was almost ripe. From a distance, it was green and lush, like a small oasis of vitality.
Before Da Si Nong came here, he called up the geography of this area and read it. It is indeed a wasteland that has not been able to grow anything for more than ten or twenty years.
The Secretary of the Household Department didn't know much about farming, so he looked at Da Si Nong.
Da Sinong took a look at the nearby canal and said, "No wonder there is a shortage."
The village chief was surprised: "Ah! Xiao Qiao also said that at the time!"
Da Sinong checked the soil first, nodded, and then checked the sorghum: "Can I try one?"
"Of course!" The village head broke off a piece of sweet sorghum and gave it to Da Sinong.
Sweet sorghum is eaten in the same way as sugarcane, and Minister of the Ministry of Finance watched as the always pure and cold Dasinong roughly bit off the sorghum husk and took a bite of sorghum meat.
"How is it?" Hubu Shangshu asked.
Da Sinong nodded: "Sweet."
To be able to grow such a sweet sorghum from a piece of wasteland, this person is indeed quite capable.
"Is there any other wasteland?" Da Sinong asked.
The village head thought for a while and said, "This is the only area in our village, and there are a few more in the neighboring village."
"He planted it all?" Da Sinong thought it was a man.
The village chief shook his head: "It was planted according to her method, sir, do you want to take a look?"
Naturally.
The village head took the two adults around to the next village. The wasteland there was still in the stage of improvement. Instead of crops, wolfberry, which can improve the soil environment, grew very well.
Da Sinong couldn't help being a little interested in promoting people: "How old is he this year? Did he go to school? How is the situation at home?"
The village chief smiled and said, "I don't know how old she is. Her child is five years old. She has been educated and can read. What about the family situation...that's just...that she is a little widow."
woman? !
Hubu Shangshu and Da Sinong were shocked.
Soon, Da Sinong showed a disappointed look. She was a woman, so she couldn't be an official in the court.
Hubu Shangshu thought it was very good. The other party was a widow, which meant that there was no man in her house. In this way, Miss Qiao could rest assured to study at her home without worrying about her reputation.
The two adults proposed to meet Qiao Wei, and the village chief went to the mountain to invite her. Unfortunately, Qiao Wei went to the town to discuss business with Boss Rong. The two waited until the afternoon when Qiao Wei did not come back, so they packed up their things (a large bundle of sorghum) and went back. up.
At night, the village chief went to the villa and told Qiao Wei that the imperial court would send people to her home to learn farming skills, and he gave Qiao Wei the sorghum money by the way.
The next morning, Qiao Wei met the so-called person who learned the art of farming, but she didn't expect it to be a woman, a woman who had offended her from head to toe.
Ahh, this is interesting!
Qiao Wei folded her arms around her belly, and looked at her with a half-smile: "So it's Miss Qiao, long time no see, Miss Qiao is fine."
Qiao Yuxi was stunned: "It's you? Why are you here?"
Qiao Wei said with a smile: "This is my home, I'm not here, where do I want to be?"
"Your family? You... you... you..." Qiao Yuxi pointed at her, her body trembling slightly, "you are that... pioneer?"
Qiao Wei smiled and nodded: "Yes, I am, then Miss Qiao, you are the one who came to learn farming skills... um... what?"
Qiao Yuxi's breath was frozen, she didn't want to learn any farming skills at first, she is the daughter of the Enbo Mansion, she has golden branches and jade leaves, how can she do such dirty and tiring things like a wild girl in the countryside? Now that she finds out that the other party is actually a little widow who has revenge against her husband, even if she dies...don't stay here!
She glared at Qiao Wei viciously, turned around and left!
Two fierce nuns blocked her way mercilessly.
Nanny Fang elongated her voice and said, "The emperor ordered that Ms. Qiao must learn farming skills here until she has mastered it."
Qiao Yuxi said aggrievedly: "I don't want to learn from her, she has a grudge against me, she will harm me!"
Qiao Wei looked innocent: "What did Miss Qiao say? I have no grievances with you, how could I harm you? You are the person sent by the emperor to learn farming skills. If I harm you, wouldn't the emperor Will you blame me? Besides, don’t you have two nuns who look after you? With them watching, you won’t be bullied.”
"Nurse Fang...Nurse Sun..." Qiao Yuxi looked at the two pleadingly.
It's a pity that both of them were sent directly by the emperor from the palace, and they would not obey her orders.
Mother Fang said solemnly: "Miss Qiao should go in honestly. From now on, humbly learn farming skills from this lady. When I arrive in the Xiongnu, I will benefit the people of one side and bring honor to my great Liang dynasty."
Who came up with this "bad" idea? To actually send a delicate young lady to this poor place to learn from a widow she has always looked down upon, isn't that slapping Qiao Yuxi in the face
The corners of Qiao Wei's lips curled up, pressed down by herself, and then curled up again.
Mother Fang looked at Qiao Wei: "The emperor has some words for the old slave to bring to Madam."
Qiao Wei smiled slightly and said, "Nurse Fang, please tell me." Qiao Yuxi called the two of them just now, and Qiao Wei already remembered who was Nanny Fang and who was Nanny Sun.
"The emperor asked his wife to teach Miss Qiao that everything is for the benefit of the people of the Xiongnu, and it must not be perfunctory." Fang Momo said, walked to Qiao Wei's side, and said in a volume that only two people could hear: "My lord Let the maidservant tell Madam a word, how to clean it up, as Madam pleases."
Of course Qiao Wei could tell who the adult she was talking about, she blinked her eyes: "Is this your adult's idea?"
Nanny Fang smiled calmly: "I hope Madam likes this gift."
I like it, I like it very much.
Qiao Wei smiled slowly: "Don't worry, Mammy, I will definitely keep the emperor's instructions in mind, and teach Miss Qiao without any secrets. Please follow me into the house, Mammy, and I will arrange a place for Mammy."
Nanny Fang and Nanny Sun entered the house with their bundles.
Qiao Yuxi also came over.
Qiao Wei looked back at her: "Wait, you don't live here."
Qiao Yuxi glared at her: "Then where do I live?"
"Bill!"
"Ma'am? You called me?" Bi'er came out of the workshop.
Seeing her, Qiao Yuxi paused, "Bi'er?"
Bi'er was stunned: "Miss, miss?"
"Why are you here?" Qiao Yuxi didn't know that Xu had arranged for Bi'er to work as an undercover agent next to Qiao Wei. In fact, she not only didn't know the details of Bi'er, but even that Qiao Wei was her big wife who was kicked out of the house. My sister didn't know either.
Mrs. Xu protected her daughter very well, and she didn't want her to know anything dirty.
But sometimes, too much protection can become a burden.
Bi'er gathered herself together, she is no longer from the Enbo Mansion, there is no need to be afraid of her, Bi'er regained a bit of confidence, straightened her body and said: "I am Madam's maid now."
Qiao Yuxi frowned slightly: "Ma'am? You can speak so smoothly! Recite the Lord's things!"
Bi'er ignored her, and turned to look at Qiao Wei: "Ma'am, do you have any orders?"
Qiao Wei was very satisfied with Bi'er's attitude, and smiled slightly: "Arrange a room for Miss Qiao, she may live on the mountain for a long time, remember to arrange a better room for her."
Qiao Wei hit the good word, Bi'er understood: "Yes, Ma'am, please don't worry, I will arrange it right away, Miss Qiao, please come with me."
A pug wagging its tail and begging for mercy in front of him suddenly straightened up and called himself me, which is really unaccustomed!
Qiao Yuxi glanced at Bi'er coldly: "Where are you taking me?"
"Go to the house where you live." Bi'er led Qiao Yuxi to the courtyard.
Qiao Yuxi looked at the magnificent villa: "Did you go wrong? I should live there."
Bi'er said: "There are only four rooms there, one for the wife and the child, one for the master, and one for the two nuns. There is no extra room for Miss Qiao. Miss Qiao should rest in the courtyard."
"Small, small courtyard?" Qiao Yuxi came to the legendary small courtyard. In all fairness, this courtyard is more exquisite than any servant's courtyard in Embo Mansion, but it is not enough for Miss Qianjin, who is used to living in pavilions and pavilions. I saw it, "What the hell is this place?!"
Bi'er led her to the end: "This one is Qiniang and Agui's room, and this one is mine. We are in the workshop during the day and will come back at night. If Miss Qiao needs anything, you can come over Find us."
Qiao Yuxi's eyes widened in disbelief: "You let me live where the next person lives?"
Bi'er said neither humble nor overbearing: "There are no superiors or subordinates with Madam."
Qiao Yuxi hugged the baggage tightly: "I don't want to live here! I want to live in a villa!"
Bi'er laughed: "Miss Qiao should follow the arrangement. Miss Qiao is here to study, not to be a young lady. Does it matter where you live?"
While talking, Bier pushed open the door. This is definitely a very, very good room. It is small and has a west sun. It was originally used as a tool room. Agui built a small shed outside the workshop to display After putting away the tools, the place became vacant, "Miss Qiao, please."
Looking at the dark room, Qiao Yuxi covered her nose with disgust: "What's the smell? It stinks!"
Bi'er entered the room and opened the window: "There is no smell."
Indeed, it's just that Qiao Yuxi is used to incense, and the house is full of expensive spices, which are very fragrant. At first glance, the house smells not so good.
It's enough to be wronged to come to such a shabby place to learn farming techniques, but to live in such a shabby place is simply intolerable!
Qiao Yuxi ran to the villa angrily, and Qiao Wei happened to be watering the roses in the outer courtyard: "Is everything packed?"
Qiao Yuxi ordered: "I don't live there! Make room for me!"
Qiao Wei watered the flowers gracefully: "How can I make room for you, miss? Didn't Bi'er tell you that I only have four rooms here? They are all fully occupied. If you really want to move here, it's okay Yes, you can go and persuade the two nuns to let them squeeze together and live in one room, and leave the other room for you."
Qiao Yuxi didn't have the guts to go to Nanny's face, so she squeezed her fist and ordered again: "You move out, or your father moves out!"
"Why?" Qiao Wei asked amusedly.
Qiao Yuxi paused and said: "I am the eldest lady of the Enbo Mansion! My father is the Lord Marquis personally appointed by the emperor!"
Qiao Wei chuckled: "Miss, since your father is so powerful, why are you still forced to come here? If you have the ability to yell at me, why don't you have the ability to let your father take you back?" ?”
Qiao Yuxi was so angry that she raised her palm and slapped Qiao Wei!
Qiao Wei easily clasped her wrist: "The emperor ordered you to come to me to learn farming skills. In other words, I am your master now, and even dare to beat the master. I think you are I want to go to heaven. Hoe up the weeds in the yard, and you are not allowed to eat until the weeds are finished!"
