Song Captou and Gu Yunxiao heard that the old housekeeper thought something had happened to them.
Gu Yunxiao hurriedly explained: "Uncle Steward, you misunderstood. It's not that something happened to us, but something happened to us on the way. We originally wanted to go back and tell the county magistrate about this matter. We knew that he and the old Marquis were close relatives, and we wanted to make peace with him." Let’s talk to Mr. Hou.”
"So that's it! I'm going to report to the master right now."
The butler suddenly understood and left in a hurry to see if it was convenient for the old marquis to receive guests.
Soon, he came back.
He said diligently: "Come with me. The Marquis invites you in."
The two walked in and respectfully told the Marquis what happened on the way.
Gu Yunxiao decisively took out a stack of silver notes from his pocket: "Master Hou, for the sake of safety, we exchanged the silver for banknotes. There are also several boxes of gold ingots in the car, all of which have been handed over to Master Hou."
The Marquis was overjoyed and said solemnly: "I read the letter and learned about this. I didn't expect that you would meet someone transporting gold and silver again on the road. You acted decisively and did a very good job. Leave this batch of treasures to me." I'm going to meet with the Emperor tomorrow to report this matter and see how the Emperor handles it? You are very capable and have made great contributions."
Gu Yunxiao continued to explain apologetically: "Yesterday we didn't know about the relationship between the Marquis and the County Magistrate, so we didn't dare to speak out about it. We did this because the County Magistrate usually taught us well."
The old Marquis praised: "You are cautious in your actions, as you should be. I don't want to make my relationship with Han'er public, so please be careful about what you say. Butler, send a few reliable people to the car to carry everything back."
The butler standing outside the door nodded and said, "Okay!"
Song Captou and Gu Yunxiao stood up and said, "Let's go help."
When they brought several boxes of gold ingots to the Marquis and counted the quantities, they suddenly felt relaxed.
One night passed, and under the leadership of the Marquis' servant, they walked around the imperial city and bought some gifts and cakes for their families.
Return to the Hou Mansion in the evening.
When the old Marquis heard that they were back, he immediately invited them over and said with a smile: "You will go back tomorrow. We will gather together during the evening meal. I ask you to do your best to assist Xiaohan in the future."
The three of them expressed their gratitude, "The Marquis is easy to treat, and the county master treats us well. We are so devastated that we can't repay him."
The dishes on the table were sumptuous, the two parties exchanged greetings, and the relationship between them felt more harmonious.
The Marquis raised his glass and said to several people: "You have worked hard all the way. Not only have you made meritorious deeds, but Han'er has also made meritorious deeds again. I have already told the emperor about this. He knows that he will go back tomorrow and asked me to bring you the reward." .”
The words have fallen! The Marquis handed them three bulging purses with beautiful gold lines embroidering the word "Fu" on them.
Did this matter alarm the emperor?
The three of them were shocked.
Gu Yunxiao quickly thought that with the old Marquis here, he not only asked for credit from Brother Murong, but also mentioned them.
Mr. Hou is a good person!
They took the purse and looked at it, and found that it contained golden melon seeds.
Not to mention the contents of the purse, this exquisite purse was obviously made by a professional showgirl in the palace.
Gu Yunxiao's eyes suddenly sparkled. He had only seen so many beautiful golden melon seeds on TV before, but now he owned them.
After returning home, give some to grandma, mother, younger brothers, sisters, and cousins, and keep the rest for yourself.
Song Captou said politely: "Master Hou, this is too much..."
"Take it, it's the emperor's wish."
Several people accepted it in a good mood.
Gu Yunxiao tied the golden melon seeds carefully around his waist, trying to find an opportunity to take them into the space.
These golden melon seeds are a reward from the emperor.
Mr. Hou said meaningfully: "You have performed well. Whatever happens to Xiaohan in the future, I hope you can continue to work by his side."
The three people said one after another: "We will!"
Gu Yunxiao murmured in his heart: According to the Marquis, Brother Murong wants to be promoted? Changing places, the Marquis hopes that they will continue to follow.
She didn't know anything about other people's affairs. As long as Brother Murong needed him, she would follow him wherever he went.
At this time, Mr. Hou handed the written letter to Gu Yunxiao and said: "Little Gu, please bring this letter to Xiaohan."
"OK!"
Gu Yunxiao took the letter and put it away carefully, actually putting it into the space.
On the way back after dinner, the three of them all said: These golden melon seeds should be regarded as family heirlooms.
Gu Yunxiao was thinking in his mind that he would hold Brother Murong's thick legs in place by himself. What to do next, let Brother Murong continue to perform meritorious deeds.
Only when Brother Murong is well can he lean against the big tree to enjoy the shade.
I quickly thought: Food is the most important thing for people.
In this dynasty, the maximum yield per mu of land was only a few hundred kilograms, and most ordinary people did not have enough to eat.
Sweet potatoes are a high-yielding crop, weighing one thousand to four thousand kilograms per acre.
Such high-yielding grain can keep everyone fed, and Brother Murong deserves a lot of credit.
She secretly made up her mind to take action immediately after returning and wait until the autumn to harvest.
Then, the sweet potatoes harvested in autumn can be widely used as seeds and make some money.
Speaking of which, this visit to the Imperial City was uneventful.
Just being clingy to that little girl made her feel unhappy.
The two of them are strangers to each other. Could it be that their faces attract each other?
At night, after finding an opportunity to enter the space, I saw my face in the mirror.
Maybe it's because I ate well after I came here, and my teeth look white and my lips are red.
With her straight nose, autumn-like eyes, bright red lips, and the well-tailored headcatcher costume, she does have a unique temperament.
She suddenly realized that no wonder she was attracted by that brainless little girl, and now she was a proper handsome boy.
It seems that I will still wear a cloth to partially cover my face when I go out in the future, so as not to cause innocent trouble.
She quickly prepared two long strips of silk in the space to use as cloth towels.
When I took it out from the space, I saw that the silk had not changed much, but the quality was a bit worse and the color turned into an inconspicuous earthy gray.
Okay, just use this!
At night, Gu Yunxiao fell asleep peacefully.
The next day, the three of them returned with a carriage full of things.
She took the initiative and said, "Uncle Song, I want to ride a horse. You can catch the ride first, and then I'll catch the ride when I'm tired."
With this kid Yunxiao by his side, Song Daotou will have a lot of good luck.
He said in a doting tone: "Okay, it's up to you!"
Gu Yunxiao took out the cloth he had prepared and covered most of his face, leaving only a pair of eyes and a smooth forehead. In this way, whether you meet that little girl or another weird girl, you won't cause any trouble.
Then she rode leisurely beside the carriage.
Song Captou asked curiously: "Yunxiao, why did you cover your face?"
Gu Yunxiao said seriously: "Uncle Song, the wind is strong, cover your face!"
Song Captou smiled secretly in his heart. This girl is indeed beautiful. If she puts on women's clothes, she will definitely attract a large number of men.
Even now wearing men's clothing, he has attracted a naughty and willful little girl.
It's better to cover up a little, so that the little girl doesn't see you and cause trouble.
The three of them walked outside the imperial city talking and laughing.
Suddenly, Gu Yunxiao saw a familiar carriage. Isn't this the carriage of the unruly girl?
This is really what I'm afraid of!
Thinking about wearing a cloth towel, I wonder if I can get away with it? She calmly rode aside.
When the two carriages were staggered, she clearly saw that the window of the opposite carriage opened, revealing a familiar, delicate and tight face.
She suddenly became nervous and heard the pounding of the horse's hooves mixed with the pounding of her heart.
The little girl looked out the window, her eyes swept across her covered face, and the carriage continued to move forward.
Gu Yunxiao secretly prayed: Amitabha, finally fooled him.
Seeing the carriage gradually go away, I was glad that I had a cloth tied on my face to cover my face, otherwise the girl would come to pester me.
The nervousness gradually relaxed.
She heard last time that the little girl was discussing marriage, and she didn't know who she would marry.
No matter who she loves, a noble girl like her is a tool for family marriage and has no autonomy at all.
The reason he lied to the other party was to make her cause trouble at home.
I wonder if she will do it? What will be the result?
She didn't know why, but she felt sympathy for the unruly and willful little girl.
She enjoys a life of spending money freely and is not influenced by fate.
It's really not as good as yourself, who can control your destiny.
The more I thought about it, the happier I became. When I saw the sky was high and the clouds were clear, I suddenly felt like the ocean was wide enough for fish to jump, and the sky was high enough for birds to fly.
Looking back, the imperial city gradually fades away.
There is no family affection in that place, only competition for power. Soon, who will be crowned the crown prince?
If King Jin becomes the crown prince, Brother Murong's future will be worrying.
There is no way to change his origin, what will he do in the future?
There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, so I still try my best to help him, which is worthy of a sworn vow.
Thinking of this, she immediately put aside her worries and started running with her whip raised.
It feels really good to ride a horse.
Unknowingly, he ran in front of the carriage.
Suddenly, she saw fighting in front of her.
She reined in the horse and it stopped on the side of the road.
This was the official road, and where she stopped there were carriages and horsemen.
She sat on horseback and looked far away, and found that two groups were fighting.
Someone curiously commented: "Who was fighting with whom earlier?"
Someone whispered: "I heard that they are the subordinates of King Qi and King Jin. I don't know why."
Gu Yunxiao complained in his heart, what else could it be because of, of course, power, everyone wants to be the prince.
Fortunately, there are only two princes fighting for power. If the emperor had more sons, what kind of chaos would the world be?
I wonder who will win among these two groups in a while?
In the palace, the emperor, who looked somewhat like Murong Han, had obvious wrinkles on his face. He was sitting in front of the royal writing desk, reading the memorial of Mr. Guo Laohou.
His eyes fell on the bowl in front of him, which contained half a bowl of pure white crystal salt.
He tasted it carefully, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face. He didn't expect that his confused eldest son would have such an outstanding son.
That child is indeed his eldest grandson.
Yesterday, Mr. Guo Laohou told him, and today he got this trick again.
He didn't care about anything else and would only read this after the next court meeting.
The more I watched, the happier I became. The boy passed the first prize on his own merit and voluntarily left the court to serve as a county magistrate in a remote place.
Not only was the county managed in an orderly manner, but it was also discovered that some people were raking in money and making weapons privately.
You can't rely on the local officials to solve this matter. He has already sent people to investigate.
I believe that it won’t take long to find out. If there is someone behind him, he will never show mercy.
Thinking of this, he slowly said to the eunuch in charge beside him: "Tell me, how can I reward Han'er?"
The eunuch in charge knew the emperor's heart well, and of course he knew who Han'er was talking about.
He said kind words casually: "Your Majesty, that child is thoughtful and knows how to share the Emperor's worries. He does not do so many things for the Emperor's rewards. He will be happy with whatever the Emperor rewards him."
These words touched the heart of the emperor. He pushed the fine salt in front of him and said proudly: "Let the imperial kitchen use this salt to cook for me at noon."
The chief eunuch nodded cheerfully and said, "Okay, Your Majesty!"
I murmured in my heart: It seems that in the battle for the crown prince, King Qi has the upper hand. Who can give me a good son?
It's a pity that King Qi was confused by the woman and still doesn't understand this truth.
Although the King of Jin has two legitimate sons, they are both idiots who cannot stand up to the wall. I heard that there are constant scandals about him, so I guess he is out of luck.
