Traveling through books to ancient times, I provoke the love of villains and powerful ministers

The spring planting has passed, and it is time for summer plowing. The fields are full of busy farmers under the scorching sun. Of course, there are also three or five farmers sitting under the trees to rest, drinking tea and chatting.

This is what Qi Qingxi and his wife saw when they went to the suburbs. They even heard Younong singing, and occasionally someone would laugh and say a few words.

After walking a short distance, I arrived at the field where Qi Qingxi grew peppers. This field was originally leased to farmers who planted crops. She borrowed this land and subsidized money to the farmer to help him grow peppers.

It can be seen that this farmer is very dedicated, and the seedlings are growing gratifyingly. Qi Qingxi is really happy when he thinks that he will be able to eat peppers in the near future.

Although Guo Yanping didn't do farm work, the Imperial College set up a farming class to teach them how to distinguish the five grains and know about farming.

In case they become parents and officials at that time, they don't even know a little about farming, which just delays the four seasons of farming, and even affects the food and clothing of the people, causing turmoil.

Guo Yanping's ambition since he was a child was to be a good official with achievements. He knew the importance of farming to the common people, so he took these lessons very seriously. See you for the first time.

Guo Yanping was a little curious, so he asked Qi Qingxi, "Cousin, what kind of crop is this?"

"This is chili pepper, which is used for food. It can cure stomach cold, stagnation of Qi, rheumatism, frostbite, etc. When cooking, add some to double the deliciousness. When it is ripe, I will make some dishes with chili for my cousin to taste. Taste?" Qi Qingxi touched the leaves of the seedlings, smiled and turned to answer.

Guo Yanping thought that he had tasted cousin Qingxi's cooking skills just now at the home of that friend surnamed Wang, and it was really amazing. He couldn't help but look forward to how delicious the dishes cooked by his cousin would be.

It's just that he doesn't know where the cousin found this thing, he seems to have never seen or heard of it.

"The seeds my friend brought back from Fanbang." Thinking of that friend, Qi Qingxi sighed secretly.

Thinking of Guo Yanping calling him cousin in the bamboo forest of Guo Mansion before, that friend is related to Guo Mansion, and it is inevitable that we will meet again in the future.

But she doesn't really believe in the words of goodbye and friends, and it's not enough to be an enemy, just keep nodding as acquaintances.

After looking at these crops, Qi Qingxi felt relieved, it was getting late, and if he didn't go back, he would miss the time to enter the city, so the two immediately got into the carriage and prepared to go back home.

But in summer, the faces of children can change as soon as they say it.One second it was sunny and sunny, and the next second it was covered with dark clouds, dense clouds covering the sky and blocking out the sun.

Afterwards, big raindrops fell from the sky from rare to dense, accompanied by bursts of thunder, and the rain enveloped the world in an instant, and even the road ahead became blurred.

The rain was too heavy and thunder and lightning kept coming, it was really difficult to walk, the driver couldn't help but remind the people in the car: "Young master, it's raining too hard, it's not safe to walk now, let's find a place to take shelter first. Get out of the rain."

Guo Yanping thought for a while, and then made a decision. He got up and lifted the curtain and said to the driver, "There is a Zhuangzi on the left at the intersection not far ahead, let's go there first to shelter from the rain."

"That Zhuangzi belongs to His Royal Highness King Qi." He explained to Qi Qingxi, "In the past, when we went out of the city to play and came back late, we would spend the night here."

His Royal Highness King Qi is a nice person.

His Royal Highness King Qi?

Isn't it the one in the book who competed with the male protagonist for the throne, was framed by the male protagonist and ended up ruining his family?

Good guy, sure enough, when you arrive in the capital, you can meet anyone.

To be honest, if the male lead hadn't had the golden finger of Qi Qingqing's rebirth, knowing the future and planning in advance, and inviting you into the urn, he might not be able to fight against His Royal Highness Qi Wang.

After all, the original book describes that His Royal Highness King Qi is not only the son of a favorite concubine who is favored by the emperor, but also an uncle of a general who holds a heavy army, and seems to have a Yue family who is a minister of the cabinet.

With such a favorable time, place and people, the power is not as powerful as that of Goldfinger.

In the short period of time when Qi Qingxi felt emotional, they had already arrived at the gate of Zhuangzi, the driver got off the carriage and knocked on the door, and a young guy came out to open the door.

"My little brother, there is the son of Guo Jijiu House in the carriage. It's hard to go back to the city under the heavy rain. I want to hide from the rain at the Zhuangzi of His Royal Highness Qi." The coachman stepped forward and reported his family name.

The little brother looked at the coachman a few times, then looked at the carriage: "You guys wait here for a while, I will report to our family steward." After speaking, he closed the door.

After a while, the little brother came back and opened the gate of Zhuangzi to signal the carriage to enter.

When the two of Qi Qingxi got out of the carriage and entered the lobby, an old man who was nearly sixty years old came over to greet them, and he obviously knew Guo Yanping: "Master Guo, this old man is the manager of this village. It's getting late now, you But still stay in Zhuangzi for one night as usual before going back?"

"Qingxi." Guo Yanping called Qi Qingxi for her opinion.

Qi Qingxi glanced at the unstoppable rain outside the door and could only nod helplessly.

Who would have thought that she would be stopped by the heavy rain and unable to go home after she finally went out for a walk, but even if the rain stopped now, they would not be able to keep up with closing the door and going to the city, and now they can only stay here for one night.

Seeing that Qi Qingxi agreed, Guo Yanping cupped his hands at the steward and said, "Then please prepare two rooms for us, and please ask the steward to cook some ginger soup."

He looked at Qi Qingxi and said in a gentle voice: "It's good for you to catch a cold, and it's raining heavily, it's better to drink some ginger soup."

The steward smiled and nodded at the two, then took them to the side hall in the backyard to rest, and invited them to sit down and drink tea.

Qi Qingxi looked around the courtyard, while Guo Yanping introduced to her the relationship between his family and His Highness King Qi.

"His Royal Highness Qi's concubine is the niece of the eldest uncle's family..." Guo Yanping was afraid that Qi Qingxi would find it complicated, so he thought for a while and said, "You should have met my cousin Nian Fei, she is her cousin, the concubine of His Royal Highness Qi .”

Qi Qingxi understood. Hearing Guo Yanping mention this cousin Nianfei, she couldn't help gossiping with Guo Yanping when she thought of the cousin's angry appearance in Guo's mansion that day: "Speaking of which, your cousin Nianfei seems to be the same as Ah Yue. It's a bad relationship."

She originally wanted to ask Ah Yue herself, but she forgot, it happened to be boring at this time, Guo Yanping is the cousin of the two, so she should know.

Guo Yanping took the teapot on the table and poured her a glass of water, and said, "Cousin Nianfei's grandfather is Mr. Xu Qingxu, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Minister of the Cabinet, and the family is also a famous scholarly family. Literati never look up to Wu..." He felt that it was inappropriate to say this, so he changed it to another way of saying, "Civil and martial arts are different from each other. This has been the case since ancient times. The two uncles don't see each other well."

Qi Qingxi said clearly: "So it's because of the parents that the two of them had such an unpleasant fight?"

"Not quite."
