Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

At this time, Wang Yuanyang suddenly found Yao Shu, hoping to help identify the treasure.

Yao Shu went over to check and found that the treasure was actually a gem from the Western Regions. Both the quality and appearance are excellent, and there is nothing wrong with them.

She nodded gently: "This is indeed one of the few good treasures. I don't know where you got it from."

Wang Yuanyang smiled and sighed: "I got this by chance from a businessman in the Western Regions. At first I thought he was cheating me, but after taking a closer look, I found that it was indeed a treasure. Because it was not very OK, so I came to you to confirm again."

"Businessman from the Western Regions? It's a long journey. I don't know where this businessman came from." Yao Shu felt very surprised.

"It's strange to say that this Western Region businessman was originally doing business in the Western Regions, but for some reason, his home was captured by the Huns and he was forced to enter the Central Plains. But because his things were so rare in the Central Plains, no one dared to Purchase. This also caused him to have to sell off his possessions and sell some items that others could accept. As for the remaining treasures, he could only sell them at a cheap price." Wang Yuanyang said with some regret.

Yao Shu nodded slightly, thoughtfully: "I wonder what the situation is like over there with the Xiongnu?"

"I heard that we are about to repel the Huns now. It will definitely be completed before the year at least."

The New Year has just passed now. If we still have to wait until the New Year, it will definitely be another year wasted.

Yao Shu thought of this and sighed softly: "I don't know how long it will take for the Huns to be defeated."

"I think it's almost time. By the way, isn't your son joining the army over there? Why don't you ask him?" Wang Yuanyang looked at Yao Shu strangely and asked softly.

Yao Shu was startled and immediately realized that Shen Qiu also had family leave in the army. During the Chinese New Year, he came back only because the emperor recalled him.

Since Shen Qiu is still on vacation, why not look for him?

Not only can he visit his son, but he can also inquire about the situation nearby.

She nodded with a happy expression: "Why didn't I think of that?"

After saying that, she raised her legs to leave, which left Wang Yuanyang confused.

As soon as she arrived at Shen's house, she saw Ning Yuanhou's carriage parked in front of the door.

When I walked into the home, I saw Ning Yuanhou chatting happily with Shen Nanshan.

"See Mr. Marquis."

Marquis Ningyuan was also very happy to see Yao Shu.

Since the recent incident, he felt more and more that this sister-in-law was very lucky. All kinds of big and small things, as long as she helps to deal with them, there is nothing that cannot be completed.

In the past, he was always plotted by the Minister of Rites, and was forced to have no say in the court.

With the arrival of Yao Shu and Shen Nanshan, they have defeated the plans of the Minister of Rites again and again, and his life is now more and more nourishing.

"I am here to tell you that the court's crimes have been dealt with a few days ago. The son of the Minister of Rites is indeed related to the previous disaster relief officials, and it was found that he was also suspected of corruption and bribery, so Now he has been sent to the frontier." Ning Yuanhou finished speaking and smiled softly.

This is also a great good thing for the Shen family.

After all, the people who have always been against them are now being punished accordingly. How can they not be happy?

Yao Shu smiled softly and breathed a sigh of relief.

I originally thought that the Minister of Rites would protect his son, but I didn't expect that when things endangered him, he would resolutely abandon his son.

"But I really didn't expect that the Minister of Rites would be so cruel and let his son be sent to the frontier without any change in his expression." Ning Yuanhou couldn't help but sigh.

Through his narration, Yao Shu learned that the punishment for Ning Yuan Hou's son was actually proposed by Ning Yuan Hou himself.

It just so happened that the place where they were assigned was also located near the Western Region.

Yao Shu immediately realized that the matter was not that simple. She turned to look at Ning Yuanhou, who was full of joy, and felt that it was better to have one less thing than one more thing. This matter might just be her own guess.

After Marquis Ning Yuan left, Shen Nanshan saw her face full of contemplation and asked curiously: "Facing such a big happy event, why don't you show any expression of joy?"

"The Western Regions are rich in materials, but the climate is colder. Nowadays, because the Xiongnu frequently invades the border, many people from the Western Regions are slowly pouring into the capital. They have brought many rare treasures, which is a great opportunity for the Central Plains people. Something novel." Yao Shu stopped and did not give any further hints in her next words, but Shen Nanshan had already understood what he meant.

"It seems that the Minister of Rites is exterminating relatives for the sake of justice, but in fact he has already found his own way out." Shen Nanshan couldn't help but sneer, and couldn't help feeling that the Minister of Rites was so vicious.

At this point, he had to wonder what the purpose of the Minister of Rites was.

Based on everything he had done for so long, Shen Nanshan was not sure whether he was still loyal to the emperor.

However, this matter is currently only the speculation of the Shen family, or even just a whisper between him and Yao Shu.

Rebellion is a big deal. If the news is accidentally spread by other members of the Shen family, there may be a slanderous charge.

"Old lady, do you still want to continue visiting the Western Regions?" Shen Nanshan asked in a low voice.

Yao Shu was also undecided. She knew that the journey was long and there would be many accidents.

If he brought the Shen family with him and accidentally implicated them, wouldn't it be a heavy blow to the Shen family.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shook her head and denied: "That's not what I meant. I can't make up my mind at the moment. I still want to see what everyone thinks. But I think we can go to the boss's military camp to visit him first." , and take a look at the situation there.”

"Actually, I've been thinking about it carefully for a long time since you mentioned it. I think what you said is actually very reasonable. We can't always be limited to the current situation. During this period, we have experienced a lot and gone through difficulties, and finally we are where we are today. This step. If we couldn't help but flinch no matter what happened, how could we achieve today's success?" Shen Nanshan hugged Yao Shu into his arms and spoke these words softly.

Yao Shu didn't know what words to use to express her mood at the moment. She was very glad that she met Shen Nanshan.

After all, Shen Nanshan can support and encourage him all the time, even if he cannot accept any of his suggestions and ideas at first.
