Peng Yuqi looked depressed.

She apologized to Haitang: "I saw that he looked down on you, and I was angry, so I told him about your grandfather's blue eyes of the Tobe Tao Shilang, but I didn't expect him to become so virtuous!" I don't know who he asked for information outside, but I heard that Fang just went to talk to your grandfather, and he wanted to climb the high branches. I knew he would be like this, so I wouldn't have said much. ”

Haitang suddenly realized, and couldn't help laughing: "My grandfather went to Gaotai to instruct the local military and civilians to try to grow new grain, just in time for the peace talks between Chu and Hu there, Tao Shilang called my grandfather over to talk almost every day, and there are more people who know." Coming from Suzhou all the way, as long as we meet a larger health center, no one does not know my grandfather's name, and from time to time someone comes to greet him, hoping that he will plant high-yield new grain as soon as possible, so that the military and civilians in the northwest will no longer have to worry about food. I thought that my grandfather had already made a name for himself outside, but I didn't expect to rely on Tao Shilang's name to save face in front of your uncle. ”

Peng Yuqi blushed and said, "God knows what happened to him?" He had heard the news of the new grain, but he didn't know the reputation of Lord Hai, and he only felt that your grandfather's official position was lower than his, so he was impatient to deal with it. If I hadn't mentioned Tao Shilang, as well as Tao Shilang's family background, and the Zhou family's emphasis on new grain, he wouldn't have listened to it! ”

She was embarrassed to tell her new good friends, so she persuaded her uncle to help the family take care of it, and arranged for her brothers and nephews to learn to grow new grain under the hands of Haixi Cliff, which may also be a way out in the future. Who knew that my uncle didn't look down on this little credit at all, and felt that farming was useless, and his eyes were only staring at the Zhou family of the Zhenguo Mansion behind Haixi Cliff and Tao Shilang, a relative of the emperor. It was rare for her to come up with an idea for a foreigner, but she was fooled as a child, and she was extremely depressed.

Haitang found Huadian from it: "Strange, your uncle seems to be a drill-loving character, why doesn't he seem to be well-informed?" ”

Peng Yuqi was stunned, and quickly reacted: "Yes, because of the promotion of new grains, Tao Shilang plans to try planting in Shaanxi first." Since it is a trial planting, it is natural to set aside different levels of land in various places to test whether the new grain can also be highly productive in the land of different climates and terrains. Ganzhou and Suzhou should be tried to plant, and Lanzhou and Qinzhou that we passed through on the road should also be tried to plant. When your grandfather was staying in those places, someone from the local health center came and asked him to go out and inspect the field, wasn't it just to pick a suitable field? Nowadays, the grain is limited, there are more monks and less porridge, and the health centers in various places are looking forward to being the first batch of trial planting, and Fengxiang Thousand Households seems to be one of them. Wen Jun just mentioned it a few days ago. When her uncle came to pick her up, he specially said something for a long time. ”

Although Zhou Wenjun's uncle is a local civil official rather than a member of the guard, it can also be seen that Baoji and Fengxiang have expectations for new grain. Jin Zhenfu, as the governor of Fengxiang Thousand Households, actually didn't know anything about the identity of Haixi Cliff, and he didn't care about the new grain pilot, and he had to be reminded by his niece, so he went to find Haixi Cliff to set up, and the focus was also on promoting Tao Shilang and the Zhou family who promoted Haixi Cliff. Is he too politically sensitive, or is he simply unaware of the importance of new grain?

As a hereditary military household with a family in Chang'an Mansion, Jin Zhenfu married a high-ranking military official, and he also had great ambitions and was bent on climbing up, but he didn't hear it, and his niece proposed that he let his brothers and nephews participate in the promotion of new grain, was it definitely for the good of his family? He just casually sent people away like children? He only thought about ensuring that the Jin Peng family could marry again, but he didn't plan to rely on his real skills to make meritorious contributions and be promoted?

Peng Yuqi was stupidly cried by her uncle, and gritted her teeth and said: "It can be seen that a person who has no ability, even if he delivers food to his mouth, he doesn't know how to eat it, and he still hates the food!" He only complained all day long about why my father refused to promote him, and he didn't want to think about whether he was worthy or not! ”

Haitang was not angry about this, and Jin Zhenfu's future had nothing to do with her. She was a little worried about Peng Yuqi: "Your grandmother's family is in Chang'an, and she is an official dependent, haven't you heard anything about socializing with people on weekdays?" Is it because your grandmother is sick and the family is closed, so the news is closed, and your uncle doesn't know so much about it? ”

Peng Yuqi said with a calm face: "Uncle Fang just comforted me, saying that my grandmother's condition is fine, so I don't have to rush to the road." When their family sent someone to Ganzhou to deliver the letter, they didn't say that. If they hadn't repeatedly said that my grandmother was seriously ill, my father wouldn't have rushed me on my way. Now it seems that they are all tricking our father and daughter! Baoji is only more than 300 miles away from Chang'an, and it is impossible for me to turn around and go back to Ganzhou, so he told me the truth. This is also so that I don't have to part ways with Wen Jun in order to go to Chang'an to serve the sick, which will cause him to lose the opportunity to get close to the Zhou family. ”

Peng Yuqi felt that she had completely seen her uncle's personality clearly, and she was angry and disappointed in her heart, and she no longer had extravagant hopes. She will never marry her uncle's son, and she will not be easily coaxed by her grandmother. As long as she finds an opportunity, she will definitely leave the Jin family as soon as possible and return to her father!

Haitang was thoughtful: "Chang'an is the base camp of the Zhou family, their family has a large population, and there are many marriages. My grandfather can turn around and get close to his family, let alone a native of Chang'an. If you want to get close to the Zhou family, it is not difficult at all, but your uncle cherishes the opportunity to travel with the Zhou family so much, and he doesn't even care about the old lady's illness and the excuse of coaxing his niece, and the news seems to be quite closed, it seems that his contacts in Chang'an are not wide, and in Fengxiang Qianhu, he may not be very popular. Sister Peng, you'd better be careful, if there is anything wrong with the Jin family and they are ostracized in Chang'an, don't affect you. ”

Peng Yuqi suddenly sat up straight: "Is it possible?" In the Jin family, only the eldest uncle, Wei Zhenfu, has the highest official position, and the others are at most eight or nine grades, what can be wrong? ”

This will not be known until Peng Yuqi arrives at the Jin family. But she has to live in the inner house, and she has to keep filial piety, and it is impossible to come out to socialize freely, in order to prevent the Jin family from blocking the news and fooling her with lies, she had better send another reliable person to inquire outside, so as to ensure that the news she gets is accurate.

After all, Peng Yuqi is the daughter of Jiangmen and the daughter of an official eunuch, and she has been with her parents since she was a child, and her political sensitivity is much stronger than that of her uncle. She immediately thought that Peng and Jin were in-laws, and Jin Zhenfu's official position was recommended by Peng Tongzhi, so he became the one, in case he violated military law, Peng Tongzhi might be implicated.

Thinking about it like this, Peng Yuqi couldn't sit still. She immediately sent someone in, and specially avoided her mother's dowry and the servant woman sent by the Jin family to pick her up, only looking for the loyal servants of the Peng family, and ordered them to send a few people to the vicinity of Fengxiang Qianhu to investigate, and then go to Chang'an to inquire about the news, be sure to find out, whether the Jin family did anything that should not be done in Chang'an, and what kind of evaluation does it have in the eyes of the public?

After the arrangement was completed, Peng Yuqi sat down next to Haitang again, and then took a long breath: "When I go to Chang'an, I will concentrate on serving the sick first, and let my grandmother's illness get better as soon as possible." In this way, my mission will be completed. As for upbringing or something...... If the Jin family itself behaves inappropriately and has a bad family style, how can they be qualified to raise me? The Peng family still has relatives in Chang'an, so I will find a reason to move over at that time, and when the spring flowers bloom next year, I can go back to Ganzhou to reunite with my father! ”
