Chapter 108: The Matter of Farming
Before Gu Banqin finished speaking, Jia Jinlu couldn't help but interrupt:
"Niangniang, the emperor finally summoned you once, why didn't you tell him anything? Even if you don't say it, it's good that you show a little unhappy, you go happily, it's no different from usual, how can the emperor see that you have suffered for more than a month? The emperor can't see what you're suffering, so how can he interfere? In this way, our Fanghua Palace still has no chance to turn over. ”
Gu Banqin looked at Jia Jinlu, blinked twice with big eyes, and then suddenly said:
"yes...... Oops, I didn't expect this, but then again, for more than a month, we haven't been so sad, there's no need to show anything, Jia Jinlu, you understand a person very well, you should be able to think of it, how can the emperor be embarrassed for our Fanghua Palace and the Queen Mother? Didn't you think that we couldn't pick this matter apart? ”
Jia Jinlu sighed: "Niangniang, the slave said that we couldn't pick it out at that time, but it's been more than a month." We have suffered so many losses, if no one goes to talk to the emperor, the palace will not look at our Fanghua Palace even more. ”
Gu Banqin looked at Jia Jinlu and comforted:
"Okay, okay, don't be too pessimistic. Next time, when I see the emperor again, I'll cry, okay? ”
Jia Jinlu and the others were amused by Gu Banqin, and during these days, everyone gritted their teeth and persevered.
The queen mother wants to make Gu Banqin bow her head and admit her mistakes, and the means and methods she uses are too low, which is not at all like the queen mother of a country, her own mother does not want to give in, and everyone in Fanghua Palace is of the same mind as her own mother.
Jia Jinlu originally thought that as long as they endured it for a few days, the emperor would love Gu Jieyu so much, and he would definitely recruit Gu Jieyu to sleep, or he would come to Fanghua Palace in person, and then everything would be logical.
But Jia Jinlu didn't expect that the emperor didn't set foot in the harem for so many days, nor did he call Gu Jieyu to sleep, and Jia Jinlu realized the seriousness of the matter.
His own mother is not a person who likes to compete for favor, Jia Jinlu knew from the beginning, since he recognized this master, then he had no reason to retreat.
That night, I went to find Wang Shun's father-in-law, Wang Shun's father-in-law had many sons in the palace, Jia Jinlu was just one of them, Jia Jinlu explained his intention to Wang Shun's father-in-law:
“…… That's the way it is, our mother didn't say anything, and the minions didn't dare to say much, the mother is kind-hearted, she doesn't fight with others about anything, and she is only secretly sad when she is bullied, but after such a long time, the minions really feel that the mother is pitiful, godfather, you have eyes and hands, can you go to the emperor for our mother to say two fair words, our mother will definitely remember your kindness. ”
For Jia Jinlu's plea, Wang Shun has actually done it a long time ago, if someone else comes, he may not meet him, but Jia Jinlu, this kid is a person from Fanghua Palace, and he is a big life, after being rescued by Gu Jieyu, he is also loyal, Wang Shun did not hide it from him:
"I understand what you said, we are all looking forward to Gu Jieyu's wellness, I have also told the emperor these words, but the emperor was stunned and did not react, and I can't help it! This kind of thing can only be stopped at the point of view, and it is for the sake of you that I will tell you this, so you don't want to spread it. ”
Jia Jinlu nodded again and again, and asked Wang Shun again: "Godfather is saying, you have told the emperor all those words?" Emperor...... Isn't there anything else that happens? ”
This makes Jia Jinlu feel very strange, it stands to reason that the emperor still loves his own mother very much, there is no reason to hear that his mother has suffered for so long, and he will ignore it, right?
Therefore, Jia Jinlu immediately confirmed.
Wang Shun nodded, indicating confirmation:
"I also feel puzzled, it stands to reason that the emperor shouldn't ignore Gu Jieyu, but what is the purpose of this, I really can't tell for a while."
"Don't ask. I can't remember, but you'll have to wait and see. After you go back, stabilize Gu Jieyu, let her not be anxious, what to do, when the emperor wants to administer justice to Gu Jieyu, he will naturally take action. ”
Jia Jinlu listened to Wang Shun's words, and knew that it was useless for him to say anything more, he could come to Wang Shun to inquire about the situation, but he couldn't influence the emperor's thoughts, and if he asked again, there would be no result, so he sent his filial piety, and then Jia Jinlu retired from Wang Shun and went back.
Just when everyone around her was anxious about her, Gu Banqin soaked alone in the small study for two days and wrote down all the planting methods she knew.
The female official in the imperial dining room had come to Fanghua Palace before, and told Gu Banqin about the planting essentials of various seeds, and Gu Banqin generally understood, but there were some modern small methods, which were still very useful.
Now that it has been almost three years since the founding of the Great Qi Kingdom, even if the Helian family had accumulated more wealth in the Western Wilderness, it is estimated that it will be exhausted in three years.
If the economy is not developed at this time, the country is likely to face war again, which does not need to be said by Gu Banqin, Helian Hongyi must also know that it is a question of how to develop.
Gu Banqin looked at some of the summaries she had written on the paper, and thought to herself that if she could go to Helian Hongyi's study to take a look at the geographical distribution map and understand the current geographical distribution map of Daqi, her modern knowledge would be able to have a more accurate summary.
But in this era, it should be considered a secret, will Helian Hongyi show it to her?
In other words, Does Helian Hongyi believe her?
Just when Gu Banqin was entangled with herself, Wang Shun's father-in-law came to pass the decree again, saying that the emperor announced that she would go to the Taihe Palace to meet her, and specially instructed her to wear authentic palace clothes.
Liu Wu didn't understand, why the emperor summoned his own mother to meet him, and asked his mother to wear authentic palace clothes.
However, Gu Banqin understood a little, Helian Hongyi told her to wear genuine palace clothes, it must be because there were foreign ministers in the Taihe Palace, and she was not temporarily summoned like the previous two times.
Even if there is a minister, it is only by chance, but today should not be an accident, Helian Hongyi has the intention to let her meet the minister, so he asked him to do so.
Although he didn't quite understand what Helian Hongyi meant, since he had reminded him of this, Gu Banqin naturally had to be cautious and changed into an airtight palace dress.
After thinking about it, Gu Banqin still went to the small study to take out the manuscript she had written in the past two days, rolled it up and stuffed it into the wide sleeve pocket of the palace dress, in case of emergency.
If she could take advantage of today's opportunity to get Helian Hongyi to approve her to take a look at the geographical distribution map, perhaps her knowledge would be more valuable.
Hurried to the Taihe Palace, and the hall was indeed as Gu Banqin guessed, in addition to Helian Hongyi and Liu Youcheng, there were three other officials who had never seen before.
Gu Banqin did not show any timidity, and entered to salute Helian Hongyi, and then Liu Youcheng, Liu Youcheng hurriedly hugged his fists and saluted back: "There is Lao Niangniang." ”
Helian Hongyi led Gu Banqin to the other three foreign ministers: "This is Gu Jieyu." Lord Shang Shutong of the Ministry of Households, Lord Zhang of the Ministry of Agriculture, and Lord Hu of the Department of Agriculture. ”
Helian Hongyi introduced the three adults to Gu Banqin in turn, and the three of them didn't dare to squint, Lord Hube Shangshutong took the lead in bowing to Gu Banqin, and the other two naturally followed.
This Tong is a fat uncle, with two mustaches, and he can't see his eyes when he laughs, and he looks like he has a very good relationship with Liu Youcheng.
After the introduction, Liu Youcheng glanced at Helian Hongyi, saw Helian Hongyi nodded, and then walked up to Gu Banqin and said to Gu Banqin:
"Gu Jieyu is not strange, today is the minister who asked the emperor to summon Gu Jieyu to see her, but in fact, there is something to ask Gu Jieyu for advice."
Gu Banqin knew in her heart that she must have something to say to her when she came over so seriously, and as for what it was, Gu Banqin could roughly guess it.
The head of the household department and the Ministry of Agriculture must have been obsessed with the watermelon she ate last time, and wanted her to exchange planting experience with the people of the Ministry of Agriculture.
"I'm ashamed to ask for advice, if Lord Liu wants to ask, just ask directly."
Gu Banqin looked at Helian Hongyi, and saw him sitting in the dragon chair while reading the Di newspaper, while leisurely drinking tea, after feeling Gu Banqin's gaze, Helian Hongyi raised his eyes to look at her, and then raised his chin at her, asking her to concentrate on talking to other men.
Helian Hongyi is really a wonder, but with his signal, Gu Banqin dared to let go - she should be able to do a good job if she was accosted by order.
