After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Chapter 203 Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Join Forces

After leaving Prime Minister Xun's study, Xun Yu did not return to his own courtyard immediately, but went to the residence of the Miao Young Master and Bai Yuwei.

The one who met him was Bai Yuwei.

Bai Yuwei smiled and said, "My brother is out practicing martial arts and can't see you."

"I am sorry for disturbing you." Xun Yu smiled apologetically, "I promised to take you two to see the farm tools I made during the day, so... since it's unfortunate, I'll come again tomorrow."

Bai Yuwei hurriedly said, "If he doesn't watch it, I can watch it!"

The naive girl left home for the first time and was full of curiosity about everything in the Central Plains.

Xun Yu then took her to a special garden in the back mansion.

Looking at the green farmland, Bai Yuwei couldn't help but exclaimed: "You... your family still farms?"

Xun Yu smiled warmly and rolled up his sleeves: "It's not our family, it's me."

"Did you grow it?"

Bai Yuwei was even more surprised.

The most important thing in everything is innovation. It is nothing special for an ordinary farmer to farm the land, but Xun Yu is a prince, has the talent of the top scholar, and his father is the prime minister.

The fact that he condescended to farm was itself a remarkable thing.

Xun Yu wrapped the hem of his clothes around his waist and said, "I originally wanted to serve the court and become an official, but it was not until I went to the border and saw the people there suffering from famine that I realized that for the people, what they need is not someone to become an official, but someone who can fill their stomachs."

He picked up a curved plate made of cast iron and said, "This is the plow mirror I mentioned during the day. I won't use it to plow the land for now."

As he spoke, he plowed the field in an orderly manner.

Bai Yuwei had seen young masters from aristocratic families compete in literature and martial arts, and also seen them fighting with poisonous insects, but she had never seen anyone farming.

She stared at it intently.

After plowing for a short while, Xun Yu was already sweating profusely.

"Next, install the plow mirror."

He hit the bent board against the plowshare, getting his hands covered in mud, but there was no trace of disgust on his face.

With a plow mirror, turning the soil is easy and fast.

Xun Yu quickly finished turning over a small ridge of land, turned around and looked at Bai Yuwei: "Look, isn't it much easier now?"

Bai Yuwei was amazed.

Xun Yu smiled and put away the farm tools: "I planted all the vegetables in the garden myself. My aunt loves to eat the vegetables I plant the most. It would be great if Miss Bai's aunt could also come to the capital."

Bai Yuwei said regretfully: "Aunt can't come."

Xun Yu smiled and said, "Yes, I heard you mention that she was under house arrest by the Miao King. My aunt is so naughty. If it were her, she would have slipped out long ago."

Bai Yuwei said: "My aunt doesn't know how to do that. She is a very dignified and polite woman. In the words of your Central Plains, she is a lady."

Xun Yu thought of his aunt's description of Liu Qingyun, that she was a shrew who pulled her hair in public and pushed her into a water tank. She was not a lady at all.

He became more and more certain that Liu Qingyun could not be Bai Zheng.

But since his father had given the order, he had no choice but to obey.

"Miss Bai, have you heard of the Chu family's twelve guards?"

The next day, all officials had a day off.

Zong Zhengxi thought he could finally sleep in, but he was woken up by Xiao Dezi at dawn.

Zong Zhengxi frowned and said, "Did you forget that you won't be attending court today?"

Xiao Dezi said awkwardly, "The Grand Commander is here."

Zong Zhengxi immediately sat up straight.

After washing up, Zong Zhengxi met Lu Yuan in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Lu Yuan did not wear court robes, but purple brocade clothes for traveling.

Zong Zhengxi didn't want Jun Gang to lose heart, so he decided to reprimand him to show his authority, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he turned into a resentful little coward: "Do you want to do your homework today too?"

Xiao Dezi couldn't bear to watch it anymore, Your Majesty, please show the majesty of an emperor!

Lu Yuan said calmly: "Don't do homework."

Zong Zhengxi's eyes lit up.

Lu Yuan continued: "Understand the people's sentiments."

Zong Zhengxi asked in a low voice: "What does it mean to understand the people's sentiments..."

Lu Yuan: "Go to the fields and work."

Zong Zhengxi: “……!!”

Who is a good minister who would ask the emperor to farm on his day off?

Is there any heavenly justice?

-

Governor's Mansion.

Meng Qianqian got up early as usual, but Lu Yuan was no longer at home.

She was not surprised. Since the resumption of court sessions, Lu Yuan had indeed become busy.

As usual, she practiced martial arts for an hour, went to have breakfast with the old lady and Baoshu, and then prepared to go out.

Today is the day she and Princess Wanping will fulfill their bet, and she has to go to Fengshui Hutong to pick up Ji Li and Si She.

But just as she was about to leave, an invitation arrived from the princess's mansion.

It was for Liu Qingyun, inviting her to be a witness.

"She wants me to lose Lu Yuan to her in front of my mother-in-law. Which mother-in-law would be happy about this? Regardless of whether I win or not, I have already lost my mother-in-law's favor."

"This army is well led."

"Who gave her the idea?"

Meng Qianqian didn't believe that there was no one behind the scenes.

Meng Qianqian couldn't help but think of Xun Yu, whom she accidentally saw on the street yesterday.

"Could it be him? What's his plan?"

She had two choices: one, intercept the post and hide it from Liu Qingyun; two, take Liu Qingyun with her.

"Truth will come to light sooner or later. Once you tell a lie, you have to lie countless times to cover it up. Sometimes, trying to be clever can backfire."

Meng Qianqian decided to take Liu Qingyun with her.

At this time, Liu Qingyun was lying on the chaise longue, with her legs crossed in a domineering manner, a handkerchief twirling on her toes, and eating fried fruits leisurely.

Ever since she took her gold bracelet, Madam Du has even made flowers out of fried fruit. Fried fruit is colorful. Does anyone dare to believe it?

"Mother."

Meng Qianqian called out softly at the door, "I'm coming in."

Liu Qingyun's face changed, and she sat up in panic, threw the handkerchief over her head, and stuffed the fried fruit under her pillow.

When Meng Qianqian entered the room, she saw a fairy-like beauty sitting upright, with her hair combed and her manners graceful.

Meng Qianqian automatically ignored the fried fruits scattered all over the floor, hung the handkerchief on the treasure chest, and said with a smile: "Mother, I have something to tell you."

After hearing the ins and outs of the bet, Liu Qingyun was indeed very angry.

Meng Qianqian sincerely apologized: "Mother, my daughter-in-law was wrong!"

Considering the bed full of gold jewellery, she won't say a word no matter how her mother-in-law punishes her!

Liu Qingyun scolded him fiercely: "You are not only wrong, I think you are crazy! You used my son as a bet, and in the end you only wanted one of the Twelve Guards? Since she wanted my son so much, you took the opportunity to raise the price, you are asking for too much! You want her princess's mansion to come over! You are asking for too much!"

After she finished scolding him, she made a gesture of rejection with great sorrow, "Don't call you a merchant girl in the future, you don't deserve it!"

Meng Qianqian was completely stunned.

Uh...I'm too narrow-minded.

Tan'er also wants to go today.

Liu Qingyun had been in the Governor's Mansion for a few days and had already realized that Tan'er was different from the other maids. She was not an ordinary servant, so she took her with her.

The three of them first went to Fengshui Hutong to pick up Ji Li and Si She.

Ji Li was still wearing black clothes and had white hair, holding a folding fan in his hand. He had a flamboyant temperament and his face was full of the expression "I am the most handsome guard of this dynasty."

The Snake was able to resist the urge to hit him, and can be said to be a very emotionally stable snake.

"My mother-in-law, Lu Yuan's mother."

Meng Qianqian introduced Liu Qingyun in the carriage to the two of them, and then said to Liu Qingyun, "Rooster, Snake."

Si Snake looked at Liu Qingyun.
