Chapter 451, peeling off the cocoon

Yan Yan didn't know the result until three days later, when she was about to go to Meng's house to add makeup to Meng Jing, but was stopped by Gonggong Liu, who came to the door.

Gonggong Liu conveyed a sentence from the emperor, saying that her guess was right again, but the specific details and how the emperor was going to deal with this matter Gonggong Liu did not reveal a word.

However, Gonggong Liu asked Yan Yan for the lyrics and music of "A Laugh in the Sea", although Yan Yan guessed that this move might be related to Zhou Lu, but the emperor spoke, and she couldn't agree if she wanted to.

It turned out that the emperor was suspicious of Zhou Lu because of the fact that he was the prince, and it didn't make sense that his secret guards didn't find out the news, but Yan Yan guessed it out of thin air.

Thinking of Zhou Lu's previous abnormalities to Yan Yan and the later attack on Yan Yan and the Liu Yu who came to the door, the sensitive Li Cong noticed that there seemed to be some kind of involvement or connection between Zhou Lu and Yan Yan, so he asked someone to investigate Zhou Lu's situation in the capital.

This investigation, he found out that after Zhou Lu entered Beijing, he was first moved by a song played and sung by Lu You, and then befriended Lu You and Lu Ming and others, and after learning that the lyrics and songs were composed by Yan Yan, he inquired about Yan Yan's industry, and then walked around Yan Yan's shops, and then asked for the eldest princess of Jinyang.

Immediately afterwards, Jinyang took Yan Yan into the princess's mansion, and Yan Yan and Zhou Lu reached a transfer agreement, but within two days, Zhou Lu hurriedly went back, saying that someone in his hometown was sick.

After that, it was Li Cong who received an 800-mile express mail from Li Ji and Lu Duan who were captured by the Khitan.

After figuring out the whole incident, Li Cong began to peel back the cocoon.

First, Zhou Lu's visit to Beijing this time was obviously from the prince, and it is very likely that he heard a little news about the prince at Zhou's house in Bingzhou, so he came to the capital to confirm, and by the way, he inquired about the military situation on the side of Da Zhou.

In this way, it is a good explanation why he approached Lu Ming with a song, because almost all of the dozen or so sons gathered that day were from the top civil and military officials in the capital.

Second, Zhou Lu was indeed moved by Yan Yan's lyrics, this should be an exception, but his later behavior is a little unexplainable, it makes no sense that he, a Khitan prince, would be interested in a woman who is already married and pregnant, right?

But in fact, Zhou Lu is indeed interested in Yan Yan, and those business words are just the reason why he wants to get close to Yan Yan.

Third, Zhou Lu opened his mouth to ask Jinyang to see Yan Yan Li Cong could understand, but he couldn't understand Yan Yan's approach, because Yan Yan not only agreed to sell the recipe to him, but also promised to give him the seeds of the two new crops.

But it's not right to say this, Yan Yan explained this, saying that it was for Jinyang's sake, and another reason was that Yan Yan wanted to promote these two seeds as soon as possible, saying that it was good to benefit the people as soon as possible, after all, Yan Yan of that meeting did not know Zhou Lu's true identity.

Therefore, Yan Yan's behavior can be explained as his worry, rather than any special care for Zhou Lu.

Fourth, Yan Yan's later attacks were mostly related to this Liu Yu, and Liu Yu's identity was not simple, the first thing she did when she found Yan Yan was to hear Yan Yan play this piece for her, saying that Zhou Lu was fascinated by this piece.

Li Cong was not worried that Zhou Lu was fascinated by this song, he was worried that Zhou Lu was fascinated by Yan Yan, so there was Yan Yan's attack.

If it weren't for the two maids beside Yan Yan who knew martial arts that day, if it wasn't for the other party who underestimated the two maids, I was afraid that Yan Yan would really be kidnapped by them.

I'm afraid that this consequence is too heavy for him Li Cong to bear.

Thinking about it like this, Li Cong ordered Liu Gonggong to ask Yan Yan to compose the lyrics and songs, and he was really curious about what kind of music could impress a Khitan prince, so that this Khitan prince would actually move his mind to take this woman away.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there is another possibility, that is, Zhou Lu knew that it was the maid next to Yan Yan who rescued Li Ji and Lu Duan and took Yeluda away, so he wanted to take revenge on Yan Yan.

There is also a possibility that Zhou Luben is Yan Yan's talent, and this talent not only refers to lyrics and songs, but also Yan Yan's knowledge and learning of agriculture, water conservancy, business, war and other aspects.

For this reason, Li Cong arranged four secret guards to guard the four exits of the Ming Garden, and Yan Yan followed from a distance when he went out.

Yan Yan didn't know this, in fact, as soon as the weather was hot, she simply went out lazily, except for going to Meng's house to attend Meng Jing's wedding, and the other was to go to Jinyang Mansion to add makeup to Chen Chen, and most of the rest of the time she nested in Mingyuan.

Chen Chen still got on the sedan chair in a proper manner, as for her married life after the Xu family, it is not within Yan Yan's ability, if she is a smart person, she should know how to choose.

It may be that Yan Yan and Mrs. Chen's conversation was heard by the secret guard, or it may be that the conversation between Yan Yan and Chen Chen was heard by the secret guard, in short, Li Cong knew that Chen Chen had moved his heart to Zhou Lu, and also knew that the relationship between Jinyang Mansion and the Zhou family in Bingzhou was relatively close, thinking of Chen Chen's father who had been an official in Bingzhou and Jinyang for many years, Li Cong moved his mind to investigate the relationship between Jinyang Mansion and the Zhou family in Bingzhou.

Of course, Yan Yan is not clear about this matter.

After returning from Jinyang Mansion, she lived a life without leaving home, and in addition to paying attention to the vegetables in the back garden every day, the rest of the time was to read books or play with her daughter.

Lu Jin is already nine months old, and she can make simple musical notes, a bit similar to the "parents" of later generations, so Yan Yan began to consciously teach her to speak, read stories to her, draw her various animals to teach her to know, and occasionally take her to the back garden to teach her to identify various vegetables, fish and shrimp.

After the summer harvest began, Yan Yan went to the farm twice, once during the wheat harvest, she wanted to know if the yield of wheat had improved, because last year she taught everyone to try to choose those wheat ears with long and full ears when keeping seeds, don't be afraid of trouble, pick the seeds first and then harvest the same.

Because Yan Yan used this method to increase the yield of wheat in the back garden by 10 percent, she wondered if the people in the village listened to her.

Not only wheat, but also rice, but the red rice planted by Yan Yan has not yet reached the time of harvest, so she wants to know what the yield of ordinary rice is.

Fortunately, the output of these two things in her Zhuangzi has increased by about five points, although there may be other factors in it, but for Yan Yan, this is good news.

There is also good news that the grass seeds that Qingyu Qingyun bought from the Jurchens were scattered on the hillside in the spring, and now they have basically grown half a foot high, and some are even more than a foot high.

In short, the transformation of these two barren mountains has begun to bear fruit.
