Chapter 429: Out of the Ranks

Yuan Bao'er took Gu Jiayao's hand guiltily, and saw that she didn't break free, and her face improved.

"A-Niang thought she would come back in a few months, but she didn't expect to be gone for two years," she pursed her lips slightly, "You blame A-Niang, A-Niang can understand that A-Niang is not by your side when you need your relatives the most." ”

"A-Niang, I'm sorry for you."

Yuan Bao'er is really guilty, she envisioned it very well, but the plan did not change quickly, although things were completed according to her vision, but her Yaoyao, without the love of her parents, was like a milk dog in custody, and could only grow up hobbling by her own instinct.

Thinking of this, Yuan Bao'er's eyes turned red.

Gu Jiayao saw that she was about to cry, and couldn't help touching her face.

She couldn't quite understand the strong emotions in Yuan Bao'er's heart, but she could see that Yuan Bao'er was really sad.

She couldn't help but think of listening to the palace people discussing things between her and her parents in ignorance, thinking that they were pitiful and gloating at that time, and occasionally flashed jealous and hateful eyes, and gently hugged her neck.

The sudden warmth made Yuan Baoer stunned, and the next moment she hugged her daughter into her arms.

"A-Niang," Gu Jiayao cried softly, leaning her head on her neck.

The warm heat sprayed on her neck, and Yuan Bao'er trembled from her body to her heart.

This is the first real intimacy between mother and daughter since she came back.

She was about to jump for joy.

She hugged Gu Jiayao tighter and harder, and said softly, "Do you want to go home with A-Niang to see your brother?" ”

Gu Jiayao thought for a while and shook her head, "With my brother." ”

Yuan Bao'er felt even more comforted.

Her daughter is a child who knows gratitude, and she knows that although Brother Yuan is the emperor, he is very lonely around him.

And she wants to stand by his side, accompany him, and give him warmth.

Yuan Bao'er said softly, "A-Niang has prepared food for you." ”

Yuan Bao'er's understanding made Gu Jiayao's smile a little more.

"A-Niang is so nice."

Yuan Bao'er laughed, "A-Niang's Yaoyao is also good." ”

She pinched her daughter's tender little face and took her hand to the front hall.

After Gu Sheng and Brother Yuan finished speaking, they were coming out, and when they saw the mother and daughter coming hand in hand, they stood still and waited.

After this period of training, Gu Jiayao already has feelings for Gu Sheng as a father and a teacher.

She let go of Yuan Bao'er's hand, saluted in a proper manner, and then ran to Yuan Ge'er's side at a trot.

Brother Yuan took her hand, turned his head to look at Cui Jiu who came out, and proposed to go home together.

When Cui Jiu heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "I'll also join in the fun." ”

As early as the third time of washing, she asked people to give gifts.

However, she knew that her current identity was not suitable for moving around, and even the gifts were sent in from the side door.

Although there was a reason for the incident, this still made Cui Jiu a little regretful, she really wanted to go to see her friend's child, but the conditions did not allow it.

Now that there is an emperor as a cover, she naturally wants to add fuel to the fire.

Gu Sheng glanced at Yuan Bao'er and saw that she had no objection, so he took them back to the house.

The emperor's micro-suit went out of the palace, even if it was quiet, it would attract the attention of many people.

However, when he learned that he was going to Gu's house and taking Gu Jiayao with him, he relaxed a little.

The emperor loved this sister with a different surname, and often went to the Gu family, but anyone who was well-informed knew about it.

So I was sure that I really went to the Gu family, and everyone didn't pay too much attention to it.

Peeking at the emperor's traces, even if the emperor is still young, and the authority has not been completely withdrawn, it is not so easy to offend.

Especially Gu Sheng, a good dog watching from the side.

Gu Sheng's fierceness is well-known in Great Xia, and no one wants to provoke it easily.

After seeing the baby, Gu Sheng led Yuan Ge'er and Gu Jiayao to the school field.

After many years, Gu Sheng once again competed with Brother Yuan.

Gu Jiayao can't get started at this time, she can only watch the excitement.

Seeing that her father and brother were fighting, she slapped happily on the side.

After a sweaty competition, the little guy hurriedly stepped forward to serve.

The two changed into dry clothes and went to the flower hall.

Yuan Baoer and Cui Jiu were drinking tea and chatting there, and the two went over and poured two bowls of warm tea before sitting down.

Gu Jiayao excitedly relayed it to Yuan Baoer and Cui Jiu.

This was the first time she had seen a complete competition with her own eyes, and her voice of joy was a few points higher.

Yuan Bao'er was about to break when she heard her words, so she hurriedly asked the maid to make tea to nourish her throat.

For her to drink some, she had to speak.

The flower hall is not small, and a few people are a little lonely sitting there, but with Gu Jiayao there, they don't feel deserted.

Gu Sheng and Brother Yuan listened with a smile all the time, and Yuan Bao'er noticed that the two were in a good mood, so she couldn't help but look over.

Originally, she thought that Gu Jiayao's praise of Brother Yuan'er was a bit watery, but now it seems to be true.

The crowd talked for a while, and the sky became dark.

Yuan Bao'er had the intention to keep them for dinner, but Gu Sheng insisted on sending them back.

Yuan Baoer had to regretfully let them bring the hurriedly made snacks and send a few people out of the house.

For a few more days, Yuan Bao'er had nothing to do, and went to the academy with the articles sent by Cui Xin.

The mountain chief happened to be there, and when he saw Yuan Bao'er coming, he came over with a smile.

"What kind of wind is blowing to blow you?"

Yuan Bao'er was a little embarrassed, she had hardly been here since she got married, even if she came back from the border pass, she had never come.

She saluted the mountain chief respectfully, "The student is bothered. ”

The mountain chief laughed, and when he saw that there were still people carrying gifts behind him, he waved his hand and motioned for the child to get busy.

He took Yuan Bao'er to the ear room on the edge of the main house, "Show you something good." ”

He looked mysterious.

Yuan Bao'er was a little surprised, and when she followed, she saw the seeds placed on the kang.

She grabbed it and put it in her hand to look at it carefully.

Each grain is very full, and the germ is even more bulging, which means that the nutrition of the seed is very good, and the seed will fall in the future, as long as there is no accident, it will be able to rise well.

"You planted this?"

Yuan Bao'er was a little surprised.

The mountain chief stroked his beard and smiled triumphantly.

Yuan Baoer took a bite and checked the inside, the inside was glutinous, whether it was ground into powder or fried, it was very suitable.

The chief of the mountain took her out and told the boy to bring the leftover cakes from the morning.

The food here has always been very casual, even if it is a cake with a strange appearance, even the color is not black.

Yuan Bao'er got used to his style early on, pinched the cold cake, and ate it with warm water.

The entrance is a little rough, not as delicious as it seems, but it is very full, only half of it is eaten, and Yuan Bao'er is very strong.

You know, in order to be slimmer recently, she only drinks two mouthfuls of soup in the morning, and she used to solve at least two cakes in one meal.

"What is this?"

She looked at the pie with some novelty.

The mountain chief smiled, "That's what you can see." ”

Yuan Bao'er was a little surprised, "Can you report it to the above?" ”

The mountain chief is very communicative, whether it is the four departments or the family, he can speak.

The mountain chief shook his head, meaning-->>

Look at her with a deep taste.

Yuan Baoer was a little puzzled.

The mountain chief said: "Do you know that Tuman came to vote, what conditions did His Majesty give?" ”

This Yuan Baoer really didn't ask.

She shook her head honestly.

"Your Majesty promises not to let their people starve to death."

Yuan Bao'er subconsciously heard the mystery inside, and looked at the mountain chief seriously.

Sure enough, in the next moment, the mountain chief said, "I persuaded Your Majesty to agree." ”

"And we advocate sending refined grains and rice."

"The land there is not suitable for cultivation and there are no good tools, so I propose to process all the rice and grain and send it over."

Yuan Bao'er understood it at once.

This is domestication.

The reason why Tuman has been able to compete with Great Xia for so many years is because of their toughness.

When their lives are threatened by lack of food and clothing, they can risk their lives just to grab a little coarse grain and a pinch of fine salt.

Over the years, their ferocity will naturally be perpetuated.

But human nature is laziness, if they don't worry about eating and drinking, or even eat better than the people of Great Xia, then they will naturally not waste their efforts to grab those unpalatable coarse grains.

Over time, they have become accustomed to comfort, and naturally they are not willing to fight to the death with others for a little food.

At that time, if Great Xia wanted to do something, even if those in the upper echelons still wanted to fight for it, those people below would not agree.

"Mr. Gaoji," Yuan Bao'er bowed.

She has been at the border for two years, and has been planning how to let Great Xia take Tuman at the least cost.

Although the end result is pleasant, it is because the right king wants to do it, not has to.

The difference is as big as heaven and earth.

Now, Mr. can do it with just this bit of rice, and in terms of ability, he can be countless times taller than himself.

The mountain chief smiled slightly, "If it weren't for your efforts, Tuman would still regard us as fat sheep, and it was you who let Tuman enter this circle." ”

"There are specializations in the art industry, and the rest should naturally be left to those who are proficient."

"As long as Mr. thinks, how long will it take to completely take it down?"

The mountain chief pondered for a moment, "About ten years." ”

That long time is enough for the people at the bottom to get used to it.

The chief motioned for the boy to withdraw his food and serve refreshments.

Yuan Bao'er didn't really want to eat anything at this time, so she showed the article brought over by the mountain chief.

The mountain chief swept his eyes and put it down, "It's very immature, and it's a bit talented." ”

"That's it," Yuan Bao'er asked.

"That's not enough?"

The mountain chief asked rhetorically.

Yuan Bao'er knew that the mountain chief did not take a fancy to this child.

She immediately changed the subject and asked about the seeds.

The mountain chief was more interested in her and asked her what her plans were for the future.

"Take care of the children for the time being," Yuan Bao'er gave a decent answer.

The mountain chief laughed, "Don't tell me, you have to be like those ladies, bring enlightenment before letting go." ”

The mountain chief provoked her.

"Otherwise," Yuan Bao'er's original idea was to bring it to weaning, more than the current limelight.

At this time, it was the time when the Great Law was revised, and in the entire Great Xia, there was not a single department that was clean under its hands.

Yuan Baoer understood that she was two pounds and didn't want to get involved.

Seeing her calm face, the mountain chief was a little surprised, "You really think so?" ”

Yuan Bao'er smiled, "You tell me this, should someone invite you to be a lobbyist?" ”

The mountain chief coughed, "Yes, your old boss." ”

He didn't need Yuan Bao'er to say, he recruited himself.

Yuan Bao'er frowned slightly, and the mountain chief said: "Don't blame him, you really caused a lot of trouble at that time, he was just a winter official, and he said that it was quite big, and the Ministry of Industry looked at it, and he really wanted to make a real fuss, he had no background, and it was not enough to see it at all." ”

"In the past two years, he has come over from time to time, and he always tells me about you."

"He was sick a few years ago, and he had the heart to tell him to grow old, but he didn't have anything to entrust him, so he came to beg me."

"You were inconvenient earlier, so I suppressed it."

Yuan Bao'er pursed the corners of her mouth and didn't say anything.

Long before Gu Sheng made trouble, she was the next secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

She herself thinks so, and even wants to show off her strength and do a good job.

But after so many things, her competitive spirit has long been gone.

Now she prefers quiet days.

And as she said, the current situation is not peaceful, even if there is no oil and water, the Ministry of Industry is not clean.

That person shook his hand at this time, I'm afraid that he is not afraid of getting into trouble, so let's find a scapegoat.

"The child is small, and he can't do without my hands," Yuan Baoer said: "I'll think about it." ”

Yuan Baoer has something in her heart and is willing to do it for her ideals, but she is not stupid, so she doesn't want to be someone else's scapegoat.

The mountain chief didn't persuade, but nodded with a smile, "It's okay." ”

Yuan Bao'er smiled, talked for a while, and left.

When she got home, she passed the news to Cui Xin.

Cuixin was a little disappointed, but she could only settle for the next best.

But it's okay to formally apprentice, just recognize him as a gentleman.

Yuan Bao'er waited until Gu Sheng went home and asked him about the situation in the court.

"Why do you suddenly ask this?"

Gu Sheng has recently been cooperating with Brother Yuan Wen Shuai to put pressure on the courtiers, and he is extremely sensitive to the six departments.

Yuan Bao'er told him the mountain chief's proposal, "Do you think I want to go?" ”

"Do you want to go?"

Yuan Bao'er nodded.

She has always liked to farm, and she also likes to fiddle with strange and strange things, and there are people in the Ministry of Industry who have the resources to let her fiddle.

But the current situation is obviously not good, Yuan Baoer doesn't want people to be gunslingers.

"If you want to go, then go," Gu Sheng replied happily.

"Doesn't affect you?"

Gu Heng shook his head with a smile, "It's okay." ”

"The Ministry of Industry is a clear water yamen, even if it is stained with something, it is also the person before you, I have already laid out manpower, just waiting for the right opportunity, a nest of ends."

"But it's still a little cold at this time, so it's better to wait until it's hotter and you can go again."

It's already spring, and it's time to plow.

Yuan Baoer was afraid that it would be too late, and the harvest of the year would be delayed.

It's the end of the year, but it's her performance.

Gu Sheng pinched her plump face, which had not yet retreated, and strode to the study.

In the evening, Gu Sheng came back a little late, but he also gave her a good word.

"Give me three days, and then you will return to him."

"Really?"

Yuan Bao'er turned over and stopped him, looking happy.

Gu Sheng pinched her again, but was dodged, "So happy? ”

Yuan Bao'er nodded, "I'm very happy." ”

She has been at home for more than a year, and even if she wants to cultivate herself, she can't stay anymore.

Gu Sheng smiled and rubbed her, "I like it so much, why didn't you say it earlier." ”
