If so, why did she run away? Does she not even trust me? This is the most painful place for Qi Muyuan.

He grew up with Du Jinning, and for Du Jinning, he would rather live up to his grandfather, be ridiculed by his colleagues, and even be willing to break his sleeves. Du Jinning is more important in his heart than his own life.

He believed that Du Jinning was well aware of this.

Rao is like this, Du Jinning still doesn't want to believe him, and still wants to run away from him, which makes him incomprehensible.

Qi Bokun knew that his grandson had gotten into the horns.

He sighed: "It's for the truth!" If she doesn't run away, but stays with Thirteen, under the protection of your wings, will you still be like this, frantically looking for her, and disagreeing for days and nights? If you don't, will the emperor suspect that we are hiding Du Jinning, and the thief shouts to catch the thief? Once the emperor becomes suspicious, how will we gain a foothold in the court in the future? Will the emperor reuse us? ”

He rubbed his eyebrows tiredly: "I don't care, I'm old, and it's time for Zhishi to enjoy the blessings at home." But your career has just begun. And you are not an ordinary official, you are in this position, once you lose the trust of the emperor, it is a luxury to want to retire safely. ”

He looked at his grandson and let out a long breath: "So Du Jinning escaped for your true good." She'd rather risk being found out and actually taken captive than do it, all for you. ”

Qi Muyuan was stunned.

He muttered, "Is that really the case? ”

Qi Bokun nodded vigorously: "These truths, even if I don't say them, you can understand them." You just don't want to believe it, you always think about the worst. ”

Qi Muyuan did not speak.

Qi Bokun reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "So, don't go out tonight, get a good night's sleep." If you continue like this, Du Jinning will know, and she will not be able to help but run out by herself. But now is not a good time for her to show up. ”

Tired, miserable, worried...... Qi Muyuan has no energy to think.

He didn't think about it at all, turned his head to look at Qi Bokun, and asked, "Why?" ”

However, after asking, he still added: "Now the people's voice is very high. ”

Qi Bokun shook his head: "The voice of the people is just for "Farming", what they need is a male Lord Du." ”

Qi Muyuan was still puzzled.

"Once Du Jinning, who has resumed women's clothing, comes back, everyone will keep their mouths shut, no matter how much the people want to watch "Farming", and then they need Du Jinning to guide them on how to grow high-yield rice, as long as they think that Du Jinning is a woman, they will suppress their desire. Whoever wants to shout that they want to watch "Farming" and wants Du Jinning to guide them to plant rice will be ridiculed by others. ”

Qi Muyuan listened, and was silent for a while.

Although the Tang and Song dynasties did not prohibit women's freedom, Wu Zetian even ascended the throne in the Tang Dynasty. But in a male society, men still look down on women in their bones. The Tang Dynasty was ruled by Wu Zetian, which was simply a shame in the eyes of men. They absolutely did not admit that Wu Zetian was capable, and they would only think that she used her beauty to tempt Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, and then used despicable means to seize the imperial power.

Now there is a Du Jinning in the Great Song Dynasty, who dressed as a man and was admitted to the top prize, trampling all the male lifters under his feet; The study of the mind she established was admired by many scholars; Her "Farming Notes" was sought after by landlords and farmers; She was better than all the male officials, and spent two years researching high-yielding rice that no other male official could have done for generations.

All of this, like a slap in the face, was slapped in the face of the men, which the men could not tolerate.

If Zhao Yu spoke, in view of Du Jinning's great contribution to the Great Song Dynasty, she married Qi Muyuan again, and if she was not held accountable for the crime of bullying the king, everyone could still reluctantly accept it; But if she wants to continue to be an official in the court, it is absolutely impossible.

The people did not agree, and the courtiers did not agree.

Qi Bokun continued: ""The Story of Farming, in the final analysis, is just a script, dispensable. High-yielding rice varieties have been researched again, and now they are piled up in the granaries of Runzhou, firmly guarded by the army. The power of the family was destroyed, and the imperial power was highly centralized. So it doesn't matter whether Da Song has Du Jinning or not. ”

"And when is the time right?" Qi Muyuan asked.

"When the high-yielding rice is planted, there will be problems." Qi Bokun's tone was very determined, "I believe that at that time, without you looking for it, Du Jinning himself will appear." ”

"How can there be problems with high-yielding rice?" Qi Muyuan shook his head, "She has already planted successfully." Rice seeds are readily available; How to take care of these high-yield rice, those croppers on the Zhuangzi know it. Where is she needed? ”

Qi Bokun looked at him strangely: "Why don't you know Du Jinning yet?" She is a little fox who doesn't keep her own hands, do you believe it? ”

Qi Muyuan was dumbfounded.

Qi Bokun patted him on the shoulder again: "So what we have to do now is to wait." and other problems arise, and when the time is ripe. Otherwise, she really wants to hide, and you won't be able to find it even if you dig three feet into the ground. ”

At this time, there was a call to watch chess outside the door: "Old lady, young master." ”

"Come in." Qi Bokun shouted outside.

Waiting for Guanqi to come in, Qi Bokun stretched out his hand to pick up the ginseng soup and put it in front of Qi Muyuan in person: "Drink it, and then go back to the room to sleep well." Rest assured, everything will be fine. You have to believe in your grandfather, and you have to believe in Du Jinning. ”

Qi Muyuan also knew that something would happen if he continued like this.

He was no longer stubborn, and drank the ginseng soup in one gulp.

Qi Bokun motioned to Guanqi to take the empty bowl out, and said to Qi Muyuan: "You sleep, and then continue to look for Du Jinning tomorrow." Even if all your men are withdrawn, you still have to go out early and return late to find it, and don't damage your body like you do now. Wait for the emperor to order to stop it, and then you will stop looking. ”

"Yes, grandfather." Qi Muyuan looked very obedient.

"Alright, let's go to sleep." Qi Bokun stood up and gestured to leave.

Qi Muyuan hurriedly got up to send him off.

Qi Bokun didn't say anything to let him stay, but was sent to the gate of the courtyard by him.

When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he explained to watch the chess and was silent: "Firmly watch your young master, don't let him run out again tonight, let him sleep well." ”

Qi Muyuan's body shook suddenly, and he was dizzy.

He smiled bitterly: "Grandfather, I just listen to what you say, there is no need to drug me." Before he could finish speaking, the man fell.

Watching the chess and silently prepared for it, he quickly held him up.

"Help him into his room and rest. If he doesn't fit his eyes again for the next two days, he will do the same. Qi Bokun said.

"Yes." Guanqi and Buyu hurriedly carried Qi Muyuan into the courtyard, sent him to the bedroom, and waited for him to lie down.

took off his coat and covered him with a quilt, and the two were about to close the door and exit, when they heard Qi Muyuan on the bed whispering: "Jinning ......"

The two of them looked at each other, and both sighed.
