Fortunately, Li Jiaoyue thought openly. When Shen Qingyu went to say goodbye, she told Li Jiaoyue about this incident. Li Jiaoyue said: "My mother is the happiest about this."
"Huh?" Shen Qingyu was confused.
Li Jiaoyue laughed: "After my mother learned that Guan Xiangfei regarded me as a forbidden wife, she became very worried. She was afraid that when I proposed marriage to someone again in the future, Guan Xiangfei would attack him."
"Master Qi killed Guan Xiangfei. Everyone feels at ease. I just cooperated. Why am I still angry?"
Shen Qingyu smiled awkwardly: "Aren't I worried that you will be wronged?"
Li Jiaoyue laughed at her: "Are you stupid? I miss your husband, but you are worried that I will be wronged?"
Shen Qingyu: "Cough cough cough..."
Such honesty!
What should I do if I like her more for no reason?
So Shen Qingyu chose to change the topic: "Then you still want to be a female crown?"
Li Jiaoyue stopped smiling and lowered her eyes for a moment: "Do it."
Shen Qingyu's eyes widened: "Why?"
"Because... it's cleaner this way." Li Jiaoyue said calmly, and then quickly smiled again.
Shen Qingyu: "..."
It is normal for a lady from a wealthy family in Beijing to discuss marriage when she reaches a certain age.
After what happened with Guan Xiangfei, everyone knew that Li Jiaoyue was fond of Mr. Qi. This reputation had spread throughout the circle of wealthy families, and it was not easy to find someone good.
But as the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion, Li Jiaoyue has her own pride, and it is impossible for her to marry low.
Instead of doing this, it is better to be a female crown and stop thinking about it.
When it comes to personal beliefs, Shen Qingyu couldn't say anything, so she left her address and said goodbye.
When the couple set out on their way home, Daqi asked someone to deliver another batch of gold, which happened to be replaced by grain. The team escorting the gold escorted the grain back the same way.
At this point, the food crisis in Daqi has basically been resolved.
Although we can't make everyone in Daqi eat and drink enough, we can prevent everyone from starving to death.
Furthermore, His Majesty the Emperor adopted Shen Qingyu’s advice and built reservoirs in many places, helping more places with insufficient rain to have water during the sowing season, which can greatly alleviate the crisis of drought and floods in the future.
Shen Qingyu thought, this is not bad.
But Shen Qingyu didn't expect that as soon as she left the Capital of Daxia, a caravan entered the Capital of Daxia from the sea.
In the middle, a middle-aged man riding a carriage is dressed in fine clothes and has a dignified appearance, but he cannot hide the vicissitudes of life he has experienced on his face.
"Master, shall we find a place to stay first?" the guard asked.
"Okay."
The carriage entered an inn. The middle-aged man went into the upper room to tidy up, and then followed the guard to the private room of the teahouse next to him for dinner.
Downstairs, the storyteller is telling the recently popular four-corner love story: the story of the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion secretly falling in love with Qi Yunxiao, the young minister of Honglu Temple in Qi State.
"Speaking of which, Master Qi's wife is originally Princess Qingyu, the legitimate daughter of Duke Wei of Da Qi. How could she be willing for her husband to marry an equal wife..."
The guards and the middle-aged man both looked shocked.
Duke Wei: "He's talking about me?"
Guard: "Maybe?"
As a storyteller, the words in his mouth may be true or false. Who knows whether they are true or false?
But it was not difficult to confirm. The guard went out to inquire about it, spent a little money, and soon got the exact news: "It is indeed true..."
After hearing what the guard said, Duke Wei became excited: "You mean, they just left?"
"Indeed." The guard nodded.
Duke Wei stood up and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's chase!"
The guard nervously tried to hold Wei Guogong back: "Master, your health is not recovered yet! How can you just rush on like this?"
Duke Wei didn't care: "Sitting in a carriage with thick mats on the ground, what's wrong? Chase!"
Guard: "That person may not be real."
Everyone knows what happened back then: Duke Wei’s only daughter died just after she was born.
"But that's not necessarily false! Won't you know if you catch up and take a look?" Duke Wei Guo was talking and he had already left the door.
A waiter in a shop was bringing trays of refreshments and dishes. Watching the guests leave in a hurry, he asked blankly: "Do you still use these dishes?"
The guard was in a hurry: "Bring it to me! Bring more ready-made snacks..."
Qi Yunxiao was injured in the fight, so he took a carriage with Shen Qingyu on the return trip.
In this way, the speed will not be too fast, and we will walk slowly and leisurely towards Zhenjiang Pass.
Qi Yunxiao leaned against Shen Qingyu, and the two of them chatted and ate snacks and fruits, feeling relaxed after solving the problem.
"After this trip, Daqi's disaster is over." Shen Qingyu licked the corners of her mouth and licked off the mulberry juice.
Qi Yunxiao wiped the unseen areas with a wet handkerchief: "But no one can say whether she will come again in the future."
After all, no one can predict such things as natural disasters.
"So the relationship with Daxia cannot be severed." Shen Qingyu helped Qi Yunxiao say the rest.
Qi Yunxiao was very pleased by the tacit understanding: "But Daxia wants a stallion from the north, but he can't give it to him."
Horses and iron tools are strategic materials and cannot be given easily.
It's safer to use jewelry, jade, etc. in exchange for food.
Shen Qingyu also nodded and began to calculate: "Tell me, what else can be sold in exchange for food that will not affect the national economy and people's livelihood?"
Qi Yunxiao smiled and glanced at Shen Qingyu: "I think you have more ideas than me in this regard. Do you think about it?"
Shen Qingyu poked his chest muscles with her fingers, and the good elasticity made her couldn't help but poke him two more times: "Think about it together."
Qi Yunxiao asked her to poke her heart, and he couldn't help but pinch her and whisper a few words in her ear.
Shen Qingyu slapped him on the chest: "What did you say?!"
Qi Yunxiao: "Then you don't count, how many days have it been!"
"Can you blame me? You were injured!"
"I'm already fine. If you don't believe me, check it out."
Shen Qingyu held down his offending hand and gritted her teeth in his ear: "I'm warning you! This is a carriage! There are people driving the carriage!"
The two people chatted and joked, and soon arrived at the inn where they stayed on the first day.
After meeting each other two or three times, Qi Yunxiao and Shen Qingyu are considered acquaintances.
The people at the post house had already packed everything up when they sent people to the front station. When the couple got off the car, they immediately led the people to the best courtyard.
Shen Qingyu and Qi Yunxiao entered the small courtyard and looked at the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, rice, noodles, vegetable oil and firewood stove prepared by the post house. They were very satisfied: they had to cook by themselves. Only in this way could they eat the food in the space that could help their injuries.
Good food for recovery.
After Shen Qingyu arranged everything, Qi Yunxiao still lit the fire and Shen Qingyu cooked.
As soon as the three dishes and one soup were put on the table, I heard a noise in the front yard, which seemed to be a dispute.
