Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

In July, the sun was scorching. Gu Huanxi hid in the RV to watch a movie and did not want to go out at all. However, today was her daughter A Li's coming-of-age ceremony, and she could not have a quiet time. She started preparing several days in advance. Not many posts were sent out, but who would have thought that many people came uninvited.

In the past three years, A Li's kind heart has spread throughout Dayong and his reputation has spread far and wide.

Her Ji Ji ceremony aroused people's curiosity, so it was normal for people to come and watch the ceremony.

Gu Huanxi was in a miserable situation. The prepared seats were not enough, so they had to add several more tables. They were almost overwhelmed. After a whole day of socializing outside under the scorching sun, their smiling faces were stiff. Now that they were in the RV, they could finally take a break.

Xu Huaiyi was there too. He was only wearing shorts and biting a watermelon. He flipped through a booklet casually and muttered from time to time, "The gift Su Zhe gave me is too expensive. How can I return it? This is not about the money. Gold and silver have a price, but jade is priceless. This is a full set of jade face with five-color gemstones inlaid. It's really a big deal..."

Gu Huanxi heard this and responded casually, "Not only is the jade of that headpiece perfect, it was also carved by a master. It must cost tens of thousands of taels, so it is indeed valuable.

If there is another opportunity for business cooperation, you should give up a little more profit. It is a bit uneasy to take such a big advantage in personal relationships. He may think that it is because of you who have protected the Su family's business over the years that the Su family can return to the glory of the richest merchant in the imperial business. He should return the favor! It is right to give you benefits, but we have also been involved in a lot of those businesses. We can't take advantage of you and still act like a good boy..."

"Okay, you can trust me to do the job, how can I let him suffer any loss?" Xu Huaiyi nodded, turned to the next page, and smiled, "Yun Ting is good at giving gifts, all of which are rare medicinal herbs, catering to his preferences, and Ah Li will definitely like them, but how can anyone give medicinal herbs as well as Ji Li?

Fortunately, I know him well and know that he has no ill intentions. If it were someone else, wouldn't they think he was cursing his precious daughter? "

Hearing this, Gu Huanxi asked curiously, "Is Li Yunting planning to leave again after coming back this time?"

Three years ago, Emperor Yongping was harmed by the father and daughter of the Xiao family, and was unable to speak. He could only lie in bed and became a disabled person. Since then, the crown prince has been regulating the country and the cabinet has been assisting him. There has not been any disturbance in the court, and the transfer of power has been carried out so peacefully.

Because of his contribution in suppressing the rebellion, Xu Huaiyi was granted the title of Duke of Zhenguo and was again appointed as the commander of the Imperial Guard, while Han Cheng became his deputy. No one could have imagined that when it came time to ask for rewards, Li Yunting gave up his high position as the co-director of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and took the initiative to request to go to the northern border.

The prince fulfilled his wish.

He was away for three years, and Li Yunting made an indispensable contribution to the stability of the border during those three years.

Xu Huaiyi sighed, "When he requested to go to the border, everyone thought he was jealous of my rapid promotion, so he also wanted to make achievements and be awarded a title. But in fact, he just wanted to avoid the troubles in Dingyuan Marquis's mansion. He usually looks quite calm and capable, but when it comes to his mother, he becomes indecisive and is restricted everywhere...

In order to control him, Marquis Dingyuan also spent a lot of money to turn his mother from a concubine to a concubine, and later promoted her to a noble concubine, just one step away from being a wife. He also tempted him with the position of the crown prince. He didn't want it, but his mother couldn't let it go and regarded it as an obsession. "

"So? Is he willing to come back this time, or is he compromising?"

"Not really. First, he is attending our Ah Li's wedding ceremony. Second, I heard his mother is ill and she is not pretending. He is filial after all. How can I feel at ease if he doesn't come back to see her?"

Gu Huanxi understood, "Isn't he afraid that Marquis Dingyuan will use the position of Crown Prince to cause trouble again?"

Xu Huaiyi smiled and said, "Yun Ting is also ruthless. He has already figured out a way to deal with it."

"What trick?"

"Just let his son be the crown prince and skip him to take over the title."

"Is this okay?"

"As long as the Crown Prince and the cabinet agree, what's wrong with that? If he exchanges it for merit, it shouldn't be a problem. Besides, don't I have to help? For those rare medicinal materials, how can I not say a good word for them?"

Gu Huanxi was speechless for a moment.

Xu Huaiyi was still flipping through the books, occasionally making surprised noises, "The gift given by the master is quite valuable, and Mr. Jiang is really generous. Fortunately, it is for his own daughter, otherwise I would definitely be jealous...

Huh? Those guys also gave themselves up, Changzhi, Jiang Yi, Yongyan, all gave themselves up openly, it's hard to teach them a lesson, humph, they are all wolf cubs, they have no good intentions..."

Gu Huanxi was amused but also annoyed, "Don't be so sentimental, okay? They grew up together with A Li, and they are childhood sweethearts, so isn't it normal to give them a gift?

You are the only one who thinks too much. Changzhi is already engaged. After the imperial examination, he will discuss the wedding date. He has no other thoughts about our daughter. As for Yongyan, there is a generation gap between them. Yongyan is a law-abiding person, so it is even more impossible for him to have any thoughts..."

"Why don't you talk about Jiang Yi?"

"Jiang Yi and A Li have a brother-sister relationship. You have repeatedly mentioned that you want to marry A Li off. Even if he had any idea at the beginning, it would have been shattered."

How could Jiang Yong’s eldest grandson become their son-in-law?

Xu Huaiyi said proudly, "I am doing this for his own good, so that he won't become enlightened in the future and not be able to achieve what he wants. Wouldn't that be even more painful?

Brothers and sisters are better, they don’t hurt your heart or your lungs, and they can last a long time without worrying about the relationship going bad…”

Gu Huanxi took over the conversation in a gloomy tone, "Then why are you still guarding against Xiaoyu like a thief? Aren't they brother and sister?"

Xu Huaiyi felt a toothache when he heard this, "They are fake siblings. Xiaoyu has evil intentions towards our daughter. How can he act like a brother? He is always thinking about tricking Ah Li into going to the palace to accompany him. Humph, if I hadn't been on guard, Ah Li would have become his dish a long time ago..."

Gu Huanxi rolled his eyes, "Do you think Ah Li is stupid?"

If Ah Li doesn't want to, who can coax her?

Xu Huaiyi refused to accept this fact. "That boy is cunning and crafty, with bad intentions. In the court, he was cold and frugal with words. All the civil and military officials in the court were very cautious when facing him. But when he turned around, he was flattering and saying all kinds of sweet words to our Ah Li. He has two faces, hypocritical, too hypocritical..."

Gu Huanxi was too lazy to argue with him about this, and asked instead, "Xiaoyu is already eighteen years old. Has no one in the court submitted a memorial to urge the prince to get married?"

"Yes? Why not? But Xiaoyu just kept it in the middle and ignored it. Speaking of which, at his age, it's really not good to delay it any longer..." Xu Huaiyi looked up at her and asked tentatively, "What do you think?"

Gu Huanxi said calmly, "What can I think? The opinions of the civil and military officials in the court don't count, so how can I interfere in the marriage of a crown prince?

Emperor Yongping couldn't speak, the Empress Dowager was devoted to Buddhism, and the other concubines in the harem were not qualified to arrange a marriage for him. But didn't Han Jun still exist? Your uncle can do it. If you have any ideas, go and discuss it with Han Jun."

Xu Huaiyi closed his mouth and dared not speak anymore.
