Yao Yanyu originally thought that her father would reply quickly, but she didn't know what kind of hesitation Yao Yuanzhi had gone through after receiving her letter.

When Yao Gelao's letter was delivered to Jiangning, it was already early February, and after Yao Yanyu read the letter, he called Xu Shiyang and his wife to find him, and after retiring from everyone, he quietly commanded, and Xu Shiyang and his wife took the order.

Although the emperor wants the powerlessness of the common people, the ministers below don't think so. And even if the daughter of the clan has to learn the etiquette rules of the palace before attacking, let alone the daughter of a commoner? Therefore, after Du Yuming submitted his daughter's dish to the Zong government, the Zong government sent two grandmothers from the palace to teach Du Ruoqing to learn the etiquette rules of the palace every day.

Of course, in the 13 provinces of the Great Cloud Dynasty, except for the southwest Yundian area, there were no girls selected, and even the vast northwest prairie sent two beauties with exotic customs. It is said that there were more than 4,000 girls who entered Beijing in March, and the selection of concubines of Emperor Jinglong was about to set off a new climax in the capital of Emperor Dayun.

After learning the rules for a month, in mid-March, Du Ruoqing and other girls from Hangzhou who participated in the selection went north to Beijing on an official boat.

The official ships went out of Jiangsu and Zhejiang and entered Nanzhili, because of the spring drought, the river became shallow, and the boats on the river appeared crowded. The boats prepared by the Jiangsu and Zhejiang governments for these women are large and magnificent, and it is precisely because of the size of the boats that it is even more difficult to walk in the shallower river.

The daughters of those small families began to lose their breath, and when the grandmothers were not around, they all secretly ran to the stern to see the scenery, or they got together boringly and talked about each other's clothes and heads, or squeezed each other, or praised each other, in short, chattering non-stop.

Du Ruoqing is obviously the most unsociable, although she is the daughter of a merchant, her family is very wealthy, and she has been raised in the boudoir since she was a child, which is naturally different from the daughters of those small families. A single piece of clothing on her body is enough for someone else's family to chew for a year, and those girls naturally won't come to her to find themselves unhappy. So it's the quietest in her cabin.

Yao Quehua has been meditating in the nunnery for the past few years, and the impetuousness on her body has been polished away, and the growth of age has made her much calmer.

Unfortunately, this world is full of fame and fortune, and the nunnery is not an absolute quiet place, because after a few years of hard life, she has also been bullied and humiliated, and her pursuit of fame and fortune has become more persistent.

She was silent at this time, just quietly by Du Ruoqing's side, and that was because those people outside were not worth her attention at all.

Compared to Du Ruoqing, they are simply different from cloud and mud, and this time they are just making a green leaf that sets off the red flowers, and she Yao Quehua is naturally a bird on the flower branch, and she will take this opportunity to soar into the sky.

Of course, this is also her plan after knowing that the emperor does not ask about the origin and selection of concubines. She had escaped from the nunnery just to live more comfortably.

Last summer, Miss Du went to Jiangning to customize the clothes for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and because she liked the scenery of Panlong Mountain, she stayed in the nunnery for one night. Not surprisingly, Yao Quehua met Du Ruoqing, the daughter of this big tea merchant.

Looking at Du Ruoqing's gorgeous clothes, Yao Quehua only felt a burst of sadness. Her father is now the head of the court, but she eats fasting and reciting Buddha in the nunnery of this mountain pass, wears coarse linen clothes, and eats chaff vegetables.

At that moment, Yao Quehua vowed to leave this damned Buddhist Pure Land. So she began to chat with Du Ruoqing, talking about her tragic life experience, saying that she was originally a girl from a scholarly family, because she followed her grandmother out of the house and met robbers, and then fled with her family, and then because the horse in the carriage was frightened, the nurse and maid who served her were turned upside down from the carriage, she was taken out of the carriage for a while, and was knocked unconscious directly in the carriage, and woke up in a nunnery, and she was a teacher.

Later, in order to thank the Buddha for saving her life, she decided to stay and follow her teacher to pray for her family.

Last year, two years before the teacher, the teacher took her from the north to this nunnery to practice, last year the teacher passed away, she became an orphan who no one cared for, she also wanted to become a gradient monk, a lifetime of green light ancient Buddha, but the support here said that she was not in the dust.

Du Ruoqing, a girl who was raised in the deep boudoir, could hear the truth of her words, and after Yao Quehua had experienced so many things, she made up those things more truthfully, and at the same time burst into tears when she said it. Du Ruoqing burst into tears by what she said, and when she left the nunnery, she said that she would take her with her.

It's just that the nunnery has strict precepts, and Yao Quehua is taken care of, so naturally he can't leave easily.

Yao Quehua knew that she wanted to help herself, and immediately expressed her gratitude, and said that she was blessed by the Buddha and hoped that she could get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible.

On the second day of Du Ruoqing's departure, a group of refugees came to the nunnery, and Yao Quehua took advantage of the chaos to secretly run away from the back mountain, and then mixed in another group of refugees to find Hangzhou and found the door of the Du family.

Du Ruoqing was very surprised to see her, after Yao Quehua raised her hand and took off the blue-gray headscarf on her head, Du Ruoqing gasped in surprise when she saw her black hair pouring down like a waterfall.

Being able to stay by Du Ruoqing's side and live a worry-free life of food and clothing, Yao Quehua is very satisfied.

After all, after so long, what kind of Lingyun ambition has also been wiped out. Now she only hopes to live the life of fine clothes and food in the past.

Du Yuming is a businessman, and he is a big tea merchant with a thousand acres of tea plantations and the name of tribute tea.

He didn't think much of it when he heard that his daughter had taken in a wandering orphan girl, but when he happened to hear that this orphan girl was quite talented, he was moved.

Yao Quehua has known since she was a child that she is a concubine, and her biological mother is a low-status concubine in Yao's mansion, and she is not as good as Yao Fengge in terms of status. Even Yao Yanyu is more noble than her, because Aunt Song is the niece of the old lady's mother's family, and the old lady has always been close to her mother's family, treats the Song family well, and Yao Yanyu's status is higher than herself. So she has been working very hard since she was a child, and she can handle everything.

Of course, in the past few years, she has been meditating in the nunnery, and there is naturally no piano and painting. But chess and books have not fallen, especially calligraphy, which is after several years of devilish training in copying scriptures and books, and Miss Quehua's good handwriting has become a family of its own.

Yao Quehua burned incense with his hands and carefully copied a copy of the Heart Sutra, which was deeply appreciated by Du Yuming, and then accompanied Du Yuming to play a game of chess, and after winning a game quietly, he lost a game quietly.

Du Yuming praised her a lot - because whether she won or lost, it was just a word difference, which was obviously Yao Quehua's intention. A girl's family can do this, this scheming is very commendable.

Originally, Du Yuming wanted to accept this orphan girl named Que Yu as the sixth concubine, and it was really a coincidence, after the emperor's selection of concubines came out, the people from the Anguo Mansion brought the words of the grandfather of the country, saying that they would support his Du Yuming's daughter to enter the palace.

After thinking about it again, Du Yuming felt that with the support of the Anguo Mansion, he would definitely be able to capture the emperor's heart after entering the palace with his daughter's qualifications.

Of course, Du Yuming also knows that his daughter is good in all aspects, and the only deficiency is that she is not scheming, but it doesn't matter now, because there is a ready-made person in front of him who can teach her daughter.

So Du Yuming moved with affection and reason, let Yao Quehua stay with his daughter, accompany her to Beijing in the future, and then find a way for both of them to be elected to the palace. In the future, you and Ruoqing will support each other in the palace like sisters, and leave the outside affairs to me to take care of it, and we will share the glory and wealth in the future, wouldn't it be good?

This is simply unbelievable for Yao Quehua! Imagine which man in the world can compare to the emperor? Besides, if he enters the palace, will he lose to a mere Du Ruoqing with his own ability?

So, Du Yuming, who thought he had a good abacus, and Yao Quehua, who wanted to get rid of the status quo and hold the power in his own hands, reached an agreement so happily.

Then Yao Quehua began to accompany Du Ruoqing to regain the beauty of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and hops, and then followed the grandmother in the palace to learn the etiquette rules of the harem, and then she got on the official ship into Beijing with Du Ruoqing as Du Ruoqing's personal maid.

Until tonight, because the ship ran aground, it stopped next to this small unknown pier.

Supplies on board are limited, and dinner is simply two dishes and one soup, with a bowl of rice per person. Du Qingruo's maid Xue Ya quietly took two taels of silver and sent it to the cook on the boat, and the cook added two more dishes to their food boxes.

It's good to have silver! Yao Quehua sighed silently while eating.

After the meal, Yao Quehua accompanied Du Ruoqing to practice the piano in the cabin, Yao Quehua's piano skills have recovered their previous proficiency after this period of practice, and the sound of the piano floated out of the cabin far away, and even the waterfowl in the reeds were fascinated.

Several dark shadows flickered through the reeds, and a moment later, screams came from several ships: "There are robbers—"

Yao Quehua's heart tightened, and the strings on his fingers were broken with a 'hum'.

"Girl, be careful!" Xue Ya stepped forward and pushed Du Qingruo behind him when the black shadow jumped in through the window.

"You ......" Yao Quehua hadn't reacted yet, and had already been slashed unconscious by a hand knife.

……

When she woke up again, Yao Quehua found that she had been tied up and thrown into a pile of firewood and grass, surrounded by a dilapidated temple, which looked like a ruined temple. And around her were a few big men in black, maybe they were tired of the robbery last night, and these people were sleeping soundly with their weapons in their arms.

The first thing Yao Quehua thought of when she woke up was to escape. It's just that she just moved, and before she could stand up, a big man next to her opened his eyes, looked at her coldly, and asked, "Why are you going?" ”

Yao Quehua immediately dispelled the idea of running away, grinned, and said, "My legs are numb, slow down." ”

Several big men woke up one after another, all of them were covered in mud and soil, and they each took out dry food from their arms to eat, but no one paid attention to Yao Quehua. Yao Quehua glanced at those dirty steamed bread cakes and didn't have much appetite, so he just closed his eyes and waited.

After everyone ate, the leader pointed at Yao Quehua and said, "How much silver is it worth to send this kind of goods to the nineteenth floor?" ”

Yao Quehua was startled and immediately opened her eyes - these people are going to buy themselves into that kind of dirty place?!

"It's pretty good-looking, but I'm a little older, I'm afraid it's not worth much." The man who was asked was young, brushed the tiger, squinted his eyes at Yao Quehua obscenely, raised his chin, and asked, "Little girl, are you twenty?" ”

"I ...... I'm in my twenties, I'm twenty-two! Yao Quehua immediately said that she was three years older, and she didn't want to be sold to that kind of place!

The big man at the head snorted unhappily: "It's a little bigger, but fortunately, it looks good." Who told you not to be eye-catching when you robbed people last night? ”

"That can't be helped, those young ones who are good-looking are all alternate concubines for the emperor, and they are all registered. If we rob them, don't say we can't sell them, I'm afraid it will cause death! ”

"Yes." The big man at the head smacked his mouth and said, "Aren't there still little maids?" ”

"The little maids' appearance is really mediocre, and they are 108,000 miles worse than this. Don't be angry, boss, I see that this girl definitely can't buy a good price, but this face looks pretty good, so wait for a hundred and ten taels of silver, right? ”

"One hundred and ten taels of silver is still no problem."

"Then let's sell her quickly, so that we can go to the next business, according to reliable sources, there is a big fish that will arrive at the dock tomorrow night."

"How big is the fish?"

"It is said that he is a rich businessman, and this time we can directly grab the silver."

"The silver is good, and it saves trouble."

……

Yao Quehua listened stupidly directly! She sat weakly on the ground, buried her face in her arms, and cried silently, why was her life so miserable!

Those people said that it was not suitable to act during the day, and they would be discovered by the government, so they hid here for the time being and then left for Jiangning at night, and they wanted to sell people to the nineteenth floor of Jiangning.

Not to mention that Jiang Ning is fine, as soon as he heard the word 'Jiang Ning', Yao Quehua's face was full of tears.

After the thieves ran away, the hijacked official ships checked their belongings and found that some people were missing some silver jewelry or something, but they didn't lose anything important. Only one of the maids of the Du family girl was lost, and the officials who were responsible for sending people into Beijing totaled, just a maid, and if they lost it, they lost it, and seeing that the schedule was tight, it was delayed, so they only reported the matter to the local government and drove away.

Du Ruoqing shed tears for two days because of this incident, her eyes were swollen from crying, and she was scolded by the regular grandmother for a long time, so she didn't dare to cry.

But it was said that Yao Quehua was taken on a small boat by those thieves overnight, and finally arrived in Jiangning after two days of shaking, before being taken off the boat, a Chinese character lost a set of women's blue cheesecloth clothes and scolded her to change into it, and the two Chinese characters guarding her took out a sharp steel knife and cut off the rope in her hand and went out.

She was the only one left in the cabin, and Yao Quehua hesitated for a long time between jumping ship to seek death and changing clothes and yielding, until the people outside shouted again, and then began to change clothes with tears in her eyes.

It takes great courage to face death, and she is still greedy for this rolling red dust after all, or rather, she is still unwilling.

When he was twisted and walked in Jiangning City, Yao Quehua couldn't describe the feeling in his heart, despair, and a hint of luck, hoping to meet someone he knew, but afraid of meeting someone he knew.

Sourness and bitterness, as well as grief and humiliation, all the bad emotions in the world are gathered together, pressing on her head like substance, suffocating her, and even regretting that she didn't jump ship just now? Now it's better to die clean.

Therefore, when someone on the other side stopped their group, Yao Quehua was still in this state of wanting to die, and he didn't realize what was going on.

"Look at how the woman is crying and looking reluctant, aren't you buying and selling?!" A clear reprimand shocked Yao Quehua's body and mind.

She quickly raised her head to look at an official in a soap-colored military uniform in front of her, and suddenly had the courage to shout: "They are robbers!" ”

"Shut up!" The man next to him raised his hand to whip her.

"Stop!" Somehow, the official suddenly came closer, grabbed the man's wrist, twisted his arm and pushed the man aside.

Saved! Yao Quehua sat on the ground with weak legs, crying silently.

"This girl, we are the guards of Ninghou Mansion, those gangsters have been caught, please follow us to witness."

"Ninghou Mansion?!" Yao Quehua stared at the person in front of him with two teary eyes, "You are actually from Ninghou Mansion?" ”

"Yes, girl, please come with us, we will send her home when we are done."

"Okay, good." Yao Que nodded indifferently.

……

From the palms of her hands to the soles of her feet, Yao Quehua never thought that she would meet Yao Yanyu again in this way in this life.

She was taken to the Yao family's courtyard by the guards of Ninghou Mansion, and when she entered the door, she met an old family member, who looked at her and then at her, then sighed and muttered: "Why is this girl so similar to Aunt Tian when she was young?" ”

After speaking, the old family shook their heads and left, and Yao Quehua stood there crying again.

Tian's death with a cane in front of her has always been a scar in her heart, and her ability to recite and copy scriptures with her heart in recent years has a great relationship with Tian's death, she wants to redeem her heart in this way, begging her biological mother to forgive her.

Since leaving the nunnery with Du Ruoqing, she has rarely thought of the Tian family. Occasionally, when I can't sleep at night, I think about it, and I also feel that I have eaten fasting and recited Buddha for her in the nunnery, and copied scriptures in the past few years, and no matter how big the sin is, it has been lowered.

However, a recent sentence from the Yao family's old family made her collapse again.

"I want to see your wife." Yao Quehua stood at the door and said stubbornly.

The guard smiled indifferently and said, "I was originally going to take you to see Madame." Let's go, girl. ”

The garden-style courtyard also has a five-room hugging building as the main hall for reception, but Yao Yanyu is not in the main hall, but sits in the small three study rooms next to it.

When Yao Quehua entered, the big men were kneeling on the ground without saying a word.

Yao Yanyu, who was dressed in a moon-white dress, stood behind the bookcase with her face back, her fingers slowly flicked the books on the bookshelf, and she ordered coldly: "Since it is a bandit who lives by robbing and harming the people, send it to the prefect's yamen, and let the prefect Yu watch and judge." ”

A guard next to him answered, and stepped up to kick the man in charge: "Let's go." ”

"Mrs. Xie's grace not to kill." Those few people didn't know what bad things they had done before, but they were actually grateful to Yao Yanyu for such a treatment, and they kowtowed before they retreated one by one like cats and mice.

Yao Quehua stood there looking at Yao Yanyu's clear back, and the tide of thought was rolling like a monstrous wave. Zhilu said that she has been proud of the spring breeze in the past few years, the husband and wife are harmonious, and the children are both beautiful, but she never thought that she could be so graceful and elegant!

No wonder people outside call her a god. Just this one back is enough to dump all beings in the world! What's more, she also has heavenly medical skills and monstrous power.

Yao Yanyu found the book she wanted on the shelf, took it down and opened two pages at random, and asked without raising her head: "What else is going on?" ”

The guard standing beside Yao Quehua arched his hand and said, "Mrs. Hui, the girl who was kidnapped also brought." ”

Yao Yanyu slowly raised her head, and then turned to look at Yao Quehua.

At that moment, Yao Quehua couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into. She once again regretted that she didn't jump into the water on the boat, and it was better to die than to return to Yao Yanyu to humiliate herself.

Yao Yanyu looked at a cyan coarse cloth dress, her face was washed with tears and mud, and she said after a while: "You go down, I won't call anyone, and no one is allowed to come in." ”

"Yes." The guard replied, turned and exited the room, closing the door.

Yao Yanyu pinched the book, slowly walked in front of Yao Quehua, and sighed softly: "Quehua, I really didn't expect it!" This is how our sorority meets. ”

Yao Quehua was originally waiting for Yao Yanyu to sneer at herself, but she didn't expect that what she was waiting for was just a sigh.

She always thought that Yao Yanyu was not a good person, when the family sent her to become a monk, she stayed out of the matter, and refused to say a word, no, she must have fallen behind her back, she and Song Yanqing designed her, she must have a grudge and want to die by herself. So in the past few years, the people Yao Quehua hated the most in her heart, in addition to her mother-in-law Mrs. Wang, were Yao Fengge and Yao Yanyu.

Falling into Yao Yanyu's hands in this way today, she felt that it was no different from jumping into a fire pit, thinking that she would rely on her current power and use her status as a sister, I don't know what kind of things she would do.

She wanted to take out some ambition to smack her face, and then scold a few words to relieve her hatred, but when her mouth opened, her taste changed: "Second sister! Second sister! Whining...... It's great to meet you...... I...... I, why is my life so miserable! ”

The bitterness of life is true, so when Yao Quehua shouted this sentence, tears really flowed down.

Yao Yanyu looked at Yao Quehua, who was crying, and suddenly wanted to laugh.

According to her father's instructions, she first sent someone to keep an eye on her whereabouts, and then asked someone to disguise herself as a robber to rob her from the official ship, and then asked someone to scare and beat her, and then brought her here to meet, of course, the words of the old man when she entered the door were completely accidental, but Yao Quehua's ups and downs in the past two years are indeed seven points similar to Tian's.

The same shrewdness on the outside, the same strength in the eyes.

Obviously he was full of hatred when he started to look at himself, but he was still able to cry like this pitiful way to win sympathy for himself in exchange for benefits.

Where does this Yao Quehua look like the Yao family? Even if she inherited one-third of Yao Yuanzhi's bloodline, she shouldn't be like this! Yao Yanyu complained silently in her heart.

After she cried for a while and rested, Yao Yanyu smiled faintly and asked, "Did you escape from the nunnery to find Feng Gongzi?" ”

"Feng Gongzi?" Yao Quehua blinked, stunned for a moment before remembering who Feng Gongzi was.

Yao Yanyu was disappointed again, she originally admired Yao Quehua's spirit of daring to find true love and sacrifice for love, but now it seems that everything can't resist the temptation of glory and wealth, she really wants to follow Du Ruoqing into the palace to be a mother.

"Sister is talking about Feng Shaochen? He...... Are you alright? Yao Quehua asked in a trance.

"I don't know if he's good or not, and he's not my sweetheart." Yao Yanyu smiled mockingly, turned around and sat down in front of the teahouse in front of the carved window, and added charcoal fire to the small red clay stove and put silver cho to boil water.

Yao Quehua took this opportunity to clean up her thoughts, organize her thoughts, and then walked closer with light steps, knelt down at Yao Yanyu's feet, held her legs, and begged: "Second sister, you save me!" Can you help me talk to my father and don't send me back to the nunnery? I'll be obedient in the future, I'm no longer good at making claims, I've changed! Second sister, help me! Your great kindness......"

Yao Yanyu slapped Yao Quehua's hand with a handkerchief, pushed her away, sighed faintly, and said, "Since you disappeared, the eldest sister has written a letter to my father, and my father is very troubled about your affairs. He feels sorry for you and hates you for being her daughter. You know how many times you would have died if it weren't for his daughter. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! It's all my fault! I used to be young, ignorant, and caused a lot of trouble to the family, I changed, I have been worshiping Buddha in the nunnery for the past two years, and it has long been changed! Second sister, you persuade my father to let me come back. I'll listen to my family from now on, I'm ......"

"In the past two years, my family has released news to relatives and friends, saying that you have a strange illness and have been recuperating in the nunnery for two years, and you have returned to serve the Buddha of the Western Heavens. Come back now, what do you want your father to say? Yao Yanyu sneered faintly.

"I ...... I don't want a name, my sister will take me as a maid, and I will serve my sister for the rest of my life to make the bed and fold the quilt ......" Yao Quehua hugged Yao Yanyu's knee again, begging bitterly.

"I'm not that blessed." The coldness in Yao Yanyu's eyes deepened, I still don't know what you do? You help me make the bed and fold the quilt, and it won't be long before it rolls into my man's arms.

"Sister......" Yao Quehua was pushed to the ground by Yao Yanyu, and looked at Yao Yanyu with great sadness. If you don't know her too well, you will feel that you are a ruthless person, and you will be hard in the face of your sister's bitter pleading.

Yao Yanyu looked away and said lightly: "My father has already put down his words, saying that if he finds you, he will give you two choices: first, lose your hair, and then go back to the nunnery, this time I will find a big temple to send you to Qing Xiu, so that you can cultivate well in the next life." ”

"Nope! I don't want to go back! I'd rather not be a human being in the next life, and I don't want to live like that again! Yao Quehua shook his head resolutely.

"Then the second is to find a suitable person for you to marry, send your couple to live in Nanyang, and you are not allowed to come back in this life."

"......" Yao Quehua suddenly fell to the ground with a gray face like a withered leaf.

Yao Yanyu didn't care what kind of mood she felt, she just said to herself: "Your heart is too strong, and if you stay, you will harm others and yourself after all, and you will not die well." In my opinion, it is also a good choice for you to marry a reliable man and go to Nanyang to get a piece of land as a plantation, live an ordinary and simple life, have children, and enjoy the joy of family. ”

"I don't want it! Why?! Yao Quehua seemed to have resurged, and with the last bit of strength, he got up from the ground, and roared angrily: "Why can you all live a prosperous and rich life, but you want me to go to the end of the earth and the barbarian land?!" I am my father's biological daughter, and I am no worse than you Yao Yanyu! Why can you bully me like this! I'm not going! I'm not going to die! ”

Yao Yanyu asked with a cold smile: "If you really want to die, you will die a long time ago." You have many chances to die, what have you not done for the sake of you? ”

"I ...... You! Yao Que was speechless, his face was full of resentment, and he finally held back a sentence: "I must get ahead!" We will trample you all under our feet in the future! I'll crush you! Crush you guys! I want you to die a good death! Don't die well......"

She screamed, her whole body trembled, and when she shouted, her whole body convulsed and gradually lost her voice.

Yao Yanyu let out a long sigh and raised her voice, "Someone is coming." ”

Xiang Zhi entered, followed by two stout mothers-in-law.

"Send her to the back, take care of her, and don't make any mistakes, or you will all die with her." A trace of coldness flashed in Yao Yanyu's eyes, and Xiangzhi, who had been serving on the side, was startled, and hurriedly agreed, letting the two mothers-in-law carry Yao Quehua out of the coma.

Yao Quehua fell into a coma because she was too excited, and woke up at night.

When she woke up, she didn't move, still lying on the bed with her eyes closed, thinking about her situation. She wants to leave here, wants to go to the capital, wants to find Du Ruoqing to accompany her into the palace to participate in the selection, wants to be selected on the emperor's side, and wants to favor the harem......

It's just that it's useless for her to think about it, with Yao Yanyu's current strength, if she wants to lock her up, she really can't escape.

Yao Yanyu locked Yao Quehua for more than two months.

By mid-May, news came from the imperial capital that the selection of the harem had been decided, and the emperor had selected nine women, including Du Yuming's daughter Du Ruoqing. It is said that the emperor likes Du Ruoqing very much, and the other women were selected to be named Baolin, only Du Ruoqing was praised by the emperor and said that this woman was as gentle as jade, very lovely, so he gave the title of 'Wan Guiren'.

After getting Yao Yanyi's letter, Yao Yanyu came to see Yao Quehua and told her that Du Ruoqing was now a noble person, and asked her if she had thought about how to choose, whether to go back to the temple to continue to accompany the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha, or go to Nanyang to marry a man and live a peaceful life.

In the face of the cruel reality, Yao Quehua had to lower his stubborn head. After she was silent for a moment, she said cowardly, "Whatever you arrange, I'll just listen." ”

Yao Yanyu nodded and said, "Very good, since you have decided to be obedient, then I will choose for you." In my opinion, Nanyang is picturesque and simple, and more than half of the residents there are Dayun people who fled during the war a hundred years ago. It is better for you to go there to work and weave than to go to the monastery to eat fast and recite sutras. I have already arranged for you, and in three days someone will go to Nanyang with you as a companion, and in these two days you have thought about what else you have to say and do, and tell me that I have the most regrettable wish for you. ”

Yao Quehua looked up at Yao Yanyu, and finally sighed in frustration after a while, and said, "I don't have anything to worry about, and I don't have anything to worry about." ”

"Well, then you can wait with peace of mind." After Yao Yanyu finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Three days later, sure enough, a group of people went on the road with Yao Quehua, they set off from Jiangning, first by boat, then by horse-drawn carriage, all the way south to the southernmost part of Guangzhou, and then changed into fishing boats to go to the sea, and went to a small island called Haojiang to live temporarily.

Yao Yanyu said before that she was looking for a reliable man not in Jiangning, but asked the entourage to find a strong fishing expert for her on Haojiang Island, and then I don't know what method the escort captain who accompanied Lu Dao used to persuade this person to continue south with them.

Yao Quehua scolded the captain of the guard from the bottom of his heart, he must have done himself a favor, and it should be a very good deal to give a beautiful woman in exchange for a navigator.

It's just that she didn't know that this person named Shao Yuan was the Fierce Eagle Guard secretly sent by Wei Zhang.

Since Yao Yanyu and Wei Zhang discussed the strategic policy of dealing with pirates before, a big plan has gradually taken shape in Wei Zhang's heart. The pirates have been at sea for at least a hundred years, they have rich seafaring experience, and they are well-equipped for water warfare, and it is impossible to exterminate them, at most drive them back and return them. When the court here withdraws its troops, they will pounce back.

So fundamentally speaking, it is a long-term strategy to recruit for your own use.

But if you can't win, negotiating peace can only boost the arrogance of the other party, so if you want to recruit peace, you must first fight a beautiful victory. For this reason, Wei Zhang did not hesitate to select the top elites from the Fierce Eagle Guard to go to Nanyang to fight the front station.

Then Yao Yanyu took advantage of this opportunity to let Yao Quehua take her with her, and before she went, she personally told the captain of the guard to find a way to let this woman take root in Nanyang, so that she would never want to come back for the rest of her life.

And it just so happened that Zheng Yuan made up his mind not to come back for the rest of his life when he went to Nanyang this time, because Wei Zhang promised him that in the future, the pirates would be recruited, and Nanyang would be the key to the imperial court's domination of them, and he would be the future commander of the South China Sea.

It's just that all this is very far away, and I don't know if it will take ten or twenty years.

If Yao Quehua can follow Zheng Yuan to stay in Nanyang for ten years, then the position of the wife of the commander of the South China Sea Navy will naturally be done.

Let it all be left to fate.

Yao Yanyu looked at a flock of birds flying in the blue sky and sighed silently.

------Off topic------

Oh mom, I finally finished explaining Quehua's uneasy explanation.

This time she really can't come back, thinking that there is a top master sleeping next to her, and she can't make any small moves.

So, go ahead and pick up shells on the island.

Who is the next supporting role to be solved, please dear drops to actively guess, guess correctly or have a substantial reward for me! There is no limit to the number of people!

The ambiguous answer, of course, is not to drop.
