Chapter 59: Xiaoyuewan Village, Mingyue Town, Yin County

The two groups of people traveled together like this. The Yan family caravan seemed to deliberately slow down its journey. The Gu family brothers and sisters were unaware of this. During this period,

They also knew a lot of things that the other party wanted them to know, such as the middle-aged man leading the team was named Yan Zhijin, but the one who was really at the helm was their young master Yan Ming. During the stop-and-go journey, Yan Ming also showed up, but most of the time he was sitting in the carriage.

The moment she saw Yan Ming, Gu Xixian was stunned. She had met this man twice before. The letter that the soldiers guarding the city handed to them a few days ago was also written by this man. Gu Xixian couldn't help but look at him curiously. His eyebrows were clear and bright, and his eyes reflected a bright light, as dazzling as gems. He was wearing a crescent-white brocade robe. Although it was inconspicuous at first glance, if you look closely, you will find that there are silver-lined auspicious cloud patterns on it. It is low-key and luxurious. The tailored robe makes his figure look handsome. He is really a handsome man who is as beautiful as jade.

While Gu Xixian was looking at him, Yan Ming was also looking at her. This was the closest contact. The little girl, who had not yet reached the age of 16, was wearing a light yellow flowing gauze skirt with bees and butterflies flying around the skirt. She had a pure white silk ribbon around her waist, and she had two symmetrical buns on her head with two hanging silk beads. Her eyes were as bright as autumn water and flashed as if they could speak. She looked very smart and cute.

The brother and sister were standing side by side and chatting with Yan Zhijin. Gu Xihao did not notice the way his sister was looking at others, but he faced the way the other person was looking at his sister. Although there was no blasphemy in that look, he felt uncomfortable just looking at it, so he slightly turned his body to block his sister behind him and asked Yan Zhijin: "Uncle Yan, I wonder who is..."

Yan Zhijin turned around and replied with a smile: "This is my young master. You are of similar age, so you may be more able to talk to him."

After the two of them exchanged greetings, Yan Ming quickly returned to the carriage as if their auras did not match. The two of them were not as easy to communicate as Yan Zhijin said, and Gu Xihao and his sister did not comment on this. People from big families are inevitably arrogant, and he did not want to curry favor with them. They did not need to know each other when they were traveling together.

On this day, Yan Zhijin came up to them during the break and chatted with them about the customs and habits of different places.

"I wonder if my nephew Xihao knows about Xiaoyuewan Village in Mingyue Town, Yin County?" Yan Zhijin asked casually.

Gu Xihao glanced at him, but replied without hesitation: "Uncle Yan, you have asked the right person. I am from Xiaoyuewan Village, Mingyue Town, Yin County. If Uncle Yan is interested, I can introduce him to someone."

Yan Zhijin had a look of surprise and joy, and smiled as he squinted his eyes and said, "That's great, please tell me about the local customs and practices there, this is the first time for your uncle Yan to go there."

Gu Xihao did not refuse, but explained it to him in detail.

Yan Zhijin listened with great interest and sometimes asked a few questions in between.

Gu Xixian listened attentively. Although she had seen a lot in the capital, she didn't know much about her birthplace. The main reason was that she had never asked. The people around her were all born and raised in the countryside. Some of them had never left the village in their entire lives. Therefore, the world in the village would not be very broad. The most talked about thing was the market in the town, but she had never heard anyone mention the name of the town. It was the first time that Gu Xixian knew that the county they were in was called Yin County, and the town where they went to the market was called Mingyue Town.

I thought about these words in my mind, and then a different flavor came out. In ancient times, the sun and the moon corresponded to yin and yang, with yang being the sun and yin being the moon. Yin, Mingyue, and Xiaoyuewan, to put it bluntly, these counties, towns, and villages are all named the same. I don't know what the reason is, but there must be some story behind it.

"My dear nephew, I heard that the yield-increasing seeds in Xiaoyuewan Village are very famous. I wonder who invented them? Could you give me a detailed introduction?" Yan Zhijin asked with a harmless smile.

Gu Xihao did not pause, but smiled and narrowed his eyes, and said with satisfaction: "Uncle Yan, you don't know that this method of increasing rice production was invented by my grandfather, father and brothers."

The proud look on his face made Yan Zhijin's eyes flicker. This was slightly different from the information they had found, but it was not a lie. He immediately showed a look of surprise and said, "It seems that our luck is very good. We have found the real owner right away. I hope my nephew will talk to the elders at home and exchange some of the best quality rice seeds for us."

"Leave it to me, kid." Gu Xihao had the expression of a stupid son of a landlord.

"Then I would like to thank you, nephew." One of them likes to show off, and the other likes to flatter, and the atmosphere is unprecedentedly harmonious.

After they set off without much difficulty, Gu Xihao returned to the carriage, took a deep breath, and sighed with his head down: "What an old fox, so difficult to deal with."

Gu Xixian quickly poured a glass of water for his brother and praised him, "Hey, my brother is really smart. No one can find any fault with this mixture of truth and falsehood. My brother is really great."

Gu Xihao rubbed her head helplessly: "Don't praise me anymore, or your brother will fly to the sky. Don't worry, your brother will protect you."

"Thank you, brother!" Gu Xixian took the opportunity to climb onto her brother's lap. The ancient roads were really hard to describe. Even though she was sitting in the most luxurious means of transportation at the time - a horse-drawn carriage, she still felt that her little butt had become eight pieces. She couldn't adapt, she couldn't adapt.

"Hold on a little longer, we'll be home in a couple of days." Gu Xihao carefully protected his sister and sat on his lap. When it came to riding in a car, his sister's little butt seemed to be particularly sensitive. She could always be seen frowning. Most of the time, she chose to sit on her knees, and she even laid a thick cushion, or she lay down, and she rarely sat upright. Even that time when she was with the master's wife, she also chose to sit on her knees. Even so, she would complain for a few days about her broken butt.

"Yeah, I'll think more about my father and mother, and time will pass faster." This is her way of comforting herself.

Gu Xihao shook his head helplessly. He really had no way to deal with this.

Yan Zhijin, who had separated from the brother and sister, returned to his own team and got into Yan Ming's carriage as soon as possible. In the carriage, Yan Ming was playing chess with himself with his left and right hands. When he saw him open the curtain, he did not say anything, but continued to play chess.

After the game was decided, he asked Yan Zhijin, who was sitting next to him and drinking water, "Uncle Jin, are you talking too much? It seems that those two guys are quite difficult to deal with."

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhijin complained: "They are really difficult to deal with. They are really little foxes. They are so slippery in their words. I can't tell that they are from such a remote countryside."

"Uncle Jin, you are obsessed. A hero should not be judged by his background, and their backgrounds are not bad either." Yan Ming talked to him while packing up the chessboard.

Yan Zhijin glanced at him and said, "You're protecting me now? I don't even know anything yet."
