"Don't you tell me that you didn't know it in ancient times? Look at your appearance now! How can she not see how well you are doing? If you want to laugh at her, she would have laughed secretly at you in her heart." Mrs. Zhou said again. He also mercilessly exposed Yao's deceitful behavior in ancient times.
Gu Shiyao's face was livid when her mother exposed the truth that she wanted to deceive herself. She immediately lowered her head and stopped talking.
When Mrs. Zhou saw her like this, she felt distressed and resentful. She was still sad for her inability to fight and angry about her misfortune, so she said directly to her: "Why don't you just stop bearing it! Anyway, as long as our Duke's residence is here, Tang Buqing will also I don't dare to do anything to you. Even if he climbs to a high position in the future, it must be because of your father's help. He will not dare to treat you badly for the sake of his own future. Moreover, your children will have grown up by then, and you won't need to It's up to him.
Mom really doesn’t understand why you are so tolerant to them. You are the eldest lady of the Duke’s Palace. They just jumped out of the mud, so they should let you and support you, but you were suppressed by them. Why didn't you show off your fearlessness at home? "
Mrs. Zhou hates that iron cannot become steel. Her daughter was so willful and unruly at home before she got married. How come she has no temper at all when she comes to her husband's house? Can you change your personality if you marry someone?
Gu Shi Yao felt extremely bitter in her heart. She whispered to Mrs. Zhou: "Mother, my husband and mother-in-law know that I am in the Marquis Mansion of Qiyang...that happened. They said that I do not follow the rules of women and am not comfortable in the house. I should take care of myself." Discipline, I clearly explained that I was framed, but they didn’t believe it..."
Zhou was shocked and blurted out: "How did they know?"
Gu Shiyao's tears rolled down, and she said sadly and painfully: "Who among the famous people in the capital doesn't know about my scandal? Now when the family entertains guests, if it is not necessary for me to attend, my mother-in-law and husband will not let me attend. When I get out, they think I'm embarrassed..."
"What? How dare they do this to you? You were also a victim in that matter, how could they not believe you?" Mrs. Zhou is truly a loving mother, always looking after her daughter.
But no matter how angry she was about her daughter's experience in the Tang family, it was useless. On the one hand, Gu Shi Yao herself looked forward to becoming the prime minister's wife in the future and did not dare to resist Tang Buqing and Tang's mother; on the other hand, Gu Shi Yao's biggest excuse was The Tang family caught it, and An Guo Gong's government and Gu Shi Yao themselves were in the wrong. An Guo Gong wanted to seek justice for Gu Shi Yao, but he was unreasonable and weak. Although he could use Tang Buqing's future to blackmail him, if he really did this , then Gu Shi Yao and Tang Buqing would have completely lost their friendship.
No matter how Yao and the Zhou family discussed how to deal with the disputes between the Tang family in ancient times, they really lived like a fish in water in the Qiyang Marquis Mansion in the early days of ancient times.
The corn matter was taken over by Qi Yanghou. During the harvest the next year, several masters of Yanghou Mansion had several meals made from corn. However, they could not enjoy the meal as they had to leave seeds to expand production.
By the third year, several acres of corn had been planted, and when it was time to harvest, the Marquis of Qiyang and the emperor, who was visiting privately incognito, went to Zhuangzi where the corn was grown to inspect it in person. Gu Shichu and Ming Xun also followed. After all, they had done it before. Regarding planting corn, especially Ming Xun, he got the corn seeds and planted the first two corn seedlings. The emperor asked carefully.
The emperor was very low-key when he came to inspect the corn planting fields. Apart from a few officials in charge of agricultural planting from the Ministry of Revenue, there was only the Qiyang Hou family.
"Aiqing's family has found new grains for the banquet. It's really a great reward for their hard work. It's a blessing to the people of the banquet!" The emperor looked at the endless sea of yellow-green corn, with corn cobs thicker than an adult's fist, and was excited. De said with red eyes, "For the people of the world, I would like to thank Aiqing and his family..."
The Marquis of Qiyang quickly said with sincerity and fear: "Your Majesty, you have rewarded me! I really don't deserve it. Dogs can find these corn seeds because of your Majesty's wisdom, prowess, and good governance, which brought peace to the world. This attracted businessmen from other areas. Quan Zi got this new food by chance, but ultimately, it is all the credit of His Majesty."
Marquis Qi Yang is indeed an evergreen tree in the imperial court, standing tall and strong. Look at his ability to flatter! Don't you see that His Majesty's face looks better? The look in Qiyang Hou's eyes was particularly gentle.
Gu Shichu sighed in his heart, as expected, ginger is still spicy.
His Majesty the Emperor was very satisfied with the Marquis of Qiyang's move to present new grains, so after he personally had officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs verify the edibility, plantability, and high yield of corn, he informed the world and made the discovery and cultivation of corn public.
At the same time, he also greatly praised the merits of the Marquis of Qiyang and rewarded him generously. The title of Marquis of Qiyang was promoted from Marquis to Duke, and the Marquis of Qiyang became the Duke of Qiyang. At the same time, the three generations of inheritance became hereditary.
In other words, as long as the Duke of Qiyang's Palace does not engage in treason or rebellion, the title will be more stable than a stone. Even if the Dyan Dynasty dies, the Duke of Qiyang's Palace may continue to exist, because of a new The discovery and promotion of grain seeds were indeed a great contribution to the country and benefit the future for a dynasty that was still mainly engaged in agricultural planting. Even the emperor of the new dynasty could not go against the general rule of the world and deal with everything. The wrong hero.
In addition to the promotion of the title, the emperor also rewarded many treasures such as gold and silver jewelry, imperial calligraphy, paintings and antiques. He also awarded Ming Jun a count. After all, Ming Xun would inherit the title of Duke of Qiyang, and he refused. After he became an official and had no children, the emperor could not give him a promotion, so he had to reward his younger brother.
After the corn incident was announced to the world, the Duke's Mansion in Qiyang immediately became the most popular place. The number of invitations surged. I don't know how many people wanted to visit the masters and ask about the corn.
At the same time, Mingxun's reputation suddenly changed from the most dandy kid in the capital to a man of great wisdom and foolishness. Otherwise, why would so many people buy things from foreign merchants? He discovered corn. , and even planted it?
What about "gold always shines", "The Prince of Ming Dynasty just doesn't like official career and economy, and is more uninhibited and free-spirited", "If you don't make a sound, you will be a blockbuster"... These complimentary words are all applied to Ming Xun. He used to love eating and drinking. Having fun does not mean that you are a playboy and cannot make progress, but that you have a wide range of hobbies and are not limited to the secular world.
Gu Shichu learned from the maid that his reputation had suddenly changed from negative to positive. After changing so much, he couldn't stop laughing and said to Ming Xun: "Listen to how those people outside are praising you now? They say you are very discerning, as wise as a fool, haha, don’t these people change their opinions too quickly? They said before that you were too lazy to play with things.”
