Chapter 203: Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law join forces
After leaving Xun Xiangguo's study, Xun Yu did not return to his yard immediately, but went to the residence of Young Master Miao Jiang and Bai Yuwei.
The person who saw him was Bai Yuwei.
Bai Yuwei smiled and said, "My brother went to practice martial arts and can't see you."
"It's me who's disturbing you." Xun Yu smiled apologetically, "I promised to take you two to see the farm tools I made during the day, so...since it's an unfortunate coincidence, I'll come back tomorrow."
Bai Yuwei said hurriedly: "He doesn't want to see it, but I can see it!"
The innocent girl left home for the first time and was full of curiosity about everything in the Central Plains.
Xun Yu then led her to a special garden in the Houfu.
Looking at the green farmland, Bai Yuwei couldn't help but exclaimed: "You...your family still farms?"
Xun Yu smiled warmly and rolled up his sleeves: "It's not our family, it's me."
"Did you grow it?"
Bai Yuwei was even more surprised.
The most important thing in everything is to introduce the old and bring forth the new. Ordinary farmers are nothing special about farming, but Xun Yu is the heir apparent. He has the talent of number one scholar and his father is the prime minister.
The fact that he condescended to farm the land was a very remarkable thing in itself.
Xun Yu wrapped the hem of his clothes around his waist: "I originally wanted to serve the court and become an official, but it wasn't until I went to the border and saw the people there suffering from famine that I realized that for the people, they need The important thing is not who becomes an official again, but who can fill their stomachs.”
He picked up a bent plate made of cast iron, "This is the plow mirror I mentioned during the day. I won't use it to plow the ground for now."
As he spoke, he plowed the ground in a decent manner.
Bai Yuwei had seen young men from aristocratic families competing in arts and martial arts, and she had also seen them fight Gu, but she had never seen anyone farming.
She watched intently.
After plowing for a while, Xun Yu was sweating profusely.
"Next put the plow mirror on."
He installed the bent plate on the plowshare, and his hands were covered with mud, but there was no trace of disgust on his face.
With the plow mirror, turning the soil is light and fast.
Xun Yu quickly finished plowing a small ridge of land, turned around and looked at Bai Yuwei: "Look, does it feel much easier?"
Bai Yuwei's eyes were opened.
Xun Yu smiled and put away the farm tools: "I grew all the vegetables in the garden myself. My aunt loves the vegetables I grow most. It would be great if Miss Bai's aunt could come to the capital."
Bai Yuwei said regretfully: "Auntie can't come."
Xun Yu smiled and said: "Yes, I heard you mentioned that she was banned by King Miao. My aunt is so naughty. If it were her, she would have slipped out long ago."
Bai Yuwei said: "My aunt doesn't know how. She is an extremely dignified and polite woman. In your Central Plains terms, she is a lady."
Xun Yu thought of her aunt's description of Liu Qingyun, who was a shrew who pulled out her hair in public and pushed her into a water tank. She was nothing like a lady.
He became more and more certain that Liu Qingyun could not be Baizheng.
But since his father had a destiny, he could only obey it.
"Miss Bai, have you heard of the Twelve Guards of the Chu family?"

The next day, all the officials took a rest.
Zong Zhengxi thought he could finally sleep in, but he never thought that he would be woken up by Xiao Dezi at dawn.
Zong Zhengxi frowned and said, "Did you forget that you are not going to court today?"
Xiao Dezi said sarcastically: "The Governor is here."
Zong Zhengxi immediately sat up straight.
After washing, Zong Zhengxi met Lu Yuan in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Lu Yuan was not wearing court clothes, but was wearing purple brocade clothes for traveling.
Zong Zhengxi didn't want Jun Gang to be weak, so he decided to scold him a few words to show his power, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he became Youyuan's little coward: "Do you have to do homework today?"
Xiao Dezi didn't look at it, Your Majesty, show the majesty of the emperor!
Lu Yuan said calmly: "Don't do your homework."
Zong Zhengxi's eyes lit up.
Lu Yuan continued: "Understanding the sentiments of the people." Zong Zhengxi asked in a low voice: "Understanding the sentiments of the people means..."
Lu Yuan: "Work in the fields."
Zong Zhengxi: "...!"
Who is a good minister who doesn't want to drag the emperor to farm on holidays?
Is there any heavenly justice?

Governor's Mansion.
Meng Qianqian got up early as usual, and Lu Yuan was no longer at home.
She was not surprised. Lu Yuan had indeed become busy since he resumed his duties in court.
She practiced martial arts for an hour as usual, went to have breakfast with the old lady and Baoshu, and then prepared to go out.
Today was the day she fulfilled her bet with Princess Wanping. She had to go to Feng Shui Alley to pick up Ji Li and Si She.
But just as she was about to set off, an invitation was sent from the Princess Mansion.
It was for Liu Qingyun, inviting her to be a witness.

"You want me to lose to Lu Yuan in front of my mother-in-law. Who's mother-in-law would be happy if something like this happens? Regardless of whether I win or not, I have lost my mother-in-law's favor."
"This army is capable of generals."
"Who gave her the idea?"
Meng Qianqian didn't believe it if there was no one behind the scenes.
Meng Qianqian couldn't help but think of Xun Yu, whom she accidentally saw on the street yesterday.
"Is it him? What kind of medicine is he selling in his gourd?"
There were two choices before her: first, cut off the post and hide it from Liu Qingyun; second, take Liu Qingyun with her.
"Paper can't contain fire. Once you tell a lie, you have to lie with countless lies. Sometimes trying to be smart can be self-defeating."
Meng Qianqian decided to take Liu Qingyun there.
At this time, Liu Qingyun was lying on the imperial concubine's couch, with her legs crossed domineeringly, her handkerchief twirled on her toes, and she was eating fried fruit leisurely.
Since taking her gold bracelet, Mrs. Du has even made flowers out of fried fruits. Can anyone dare to believe colorful fried fruits?
"Mother."
Meng Qianqian called softly at the door, "I'm coming in."
Liu Qingyun's expression changed, she sat up in panic, threw the handkerchief on top of her head, and stuffed the fried fruits under the pillow.
When Meng Qianqian entered the house, what she saw was a fairy beauty sitting upright, combing the clouds and skimming the moon, with countless manners.
Meng Qianqian automatically ignored the fried fruits scattered on the floor and the handkerchief hanging on the Duobao grid, and said with a smile: "Mother, I have something to tell you."
After hearing the ins and outs of the bet, Liu Qingyun was indeed very angry.
Meng Qianqian apologized sincerely: "Mother, my daughter-in-law was wrong!"
For the sake of the bed full of gold jewelry, she wouldn't say a word no matter how her mother-in-law punished her!
Liu Qingyun scolded her head and face: "You are not only wrong, I think you are crazy! You used my son as a bet, and in the end you only want a twelve-guard? Since she wants my son so much, you took the opportunity to raise the price. You’re asking for money from the ground up! You want her to be a princess!”
After she finished scolding, she made a gesture of rejection sadly, "Don't say you are a businesswoman from now on, you are not worthy!"
Meng Qianqian was stunned.
Uh...it's because I'm too small.
Tan'er also wants to go today.
Liu Qingyun stayed in the Governor's Mansion for a few days and already knew that Tan'er was different from other maids. She was not an ordinary servant, so he took her with him.
The three of them first went to Feng Shui Alley to pick up Ji Li and Si She.
Ji Li is still wearing black clothes and white hair, holding a folding fan in his hand. He has a flamboyant temperament, and his face says that I am the most handsome guard in this dynasty.
Si Snake was able to resist beating him, so he could be said to be a very emotionally stable snake.
"My mother-in-law, Lu Yuan's mother."
Meng Qianqian introduced Liu Qingyun on the carriage to the two of them, and then said to Liu Qingyun, "You chicken, there is a snake."
Sishe looked at Liu Qingyun. (End of chapter)
