Generals take care of their children: The master mother leads the system to farm

Heian Kyoto.

The Royal Study Room of the Imperial Palace.

The Great Yan Emperor Ouyang Qin was discussing the marriage between the Gu and Sun families with the Crown Prince's tutor Sun Li.

Sun Li presented Gu Jingyan's letter directly to Ouyang Qin.

After Ouyang Qin finished reading it, his face was full of smiles.

"Your grandson is quite capable, but it's not appropriate for you to just let your wife be so willful, right?"

Look at what Gu Jingyan said?

"... Changle just doesn't want to be in charge of Gu's family affairs..."

"…my stepbrother is a man of good character…"

"…Grandfather can still consider it, Xiuduan's wishes are the main consideration."

Good man, I almost told you directly that my wife doesn't want to manage the group of idlers in the Gu family house, but the ancestral business cannot be abandoned, and we have to find a capable manager to suppress it, so as not to ruin the family business. Grandfather, please help your grandson find a good candidate. My stepbrother is honest and easy to bully, so you can still consider him.

Finally, I would like to say that it would be great if my cousin is willing.

Sun Li felt a slight headache and bowed his hands. "Your Majesty, Jing Yan's behavior is indeed inappropriate. The patriarchal system of the Great Yan Dynasty respects the eldest son as the most important. According to the rules, the mistress of the Gu family should be Jing Yan's wife. But..."

"He has never cared about status or title, and now he is still so unconcerned about marrying a wife..."

He wanted to say that it was also so disrespectful...

But the emperor raised his hand to stop him from speaking, "Lord Sun, don't you know your granddaughter-in-law's... great skills?"

Sun Li couldn't tell whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, as his grandson didn't mention much about his wife and children in the letter.

Sun Li only knew that his granddaughter-in-law had discovered new food species in Li County.

Ouyang Qin saw that his unpredictable expression did not seem fake, and he sighed inwardly that Gu Jingyan was a thoughtful child who did not want to involve his outside family.

But now that the emperor knows it himself, there is no harm in telling him.

Ouyang Qin asked the general manager Chen He to give the prince's letter to Sun Li.

Sun Li took the envelope and looked at the emperor in surprise. "This, your old minister..."

"I told you to look, so go ahead and take a good look at what your grandson's wife has done."

You old man will be scared to death after reading this!

Sun Li nervously opened the envelope. The emperor's words really made him feel under great pressure...

He hadn't had much contact with his granddaughter-in-law, but he had heard that she was an extremely well-behaved person and wouldn't do anything out of line.

Although this time running away from home was not a small matter, I almost lost my life...

There were several sheets of letter paper inside, and it didn't look like they were signed on the same day.

The emperor was also moved. He had just received a letter the day before, and woke up to another one the next day. If you didn't know, you would think there was such harmony and love between the father and son.

This unfilial son didn't even take care of his old father who had caught a cold, and he couldn't wait to run out and have fun.

If it weren't for the Queen's plea, he would have been dragged back.

He winked at Chen He, who nodded, bowed and walked out.

After reading the prince's letter, Sun Li was so shocked that his whole body was shaking like a sieve and he almost fell to his knees.

"This old minister... I am terrified... I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!!"

An innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. He knows very well what this golden finger means.

"What crime can I forgive? What crime have you committed? Get up quickly! Didn't you see? A hundred acres... within a few days, almost a million kilograms of grain will be produced."

"...People in the northern border areas can have a more peaceful New Year this winter."

The more Sun Li listened, the more frightened he became. His duty as a subject prompted him to say tremblingly:

"Before Jing Yan got married, because the marriage was too hasty, this old minister was worried and asked someone to check the family background of this girl from the Li family. In fact, General Gu was indeed right about her. When Li was a girl at home, she was a chaste and virtuous woman.

This, this suddenly said..."

"Don't panic, my dear. Jing Yan is a very smart kid. He will protect Li Shi."

Ouyang Qin snorted and laughed, and threw another envelope in front of Sun Li, "Look, he has set his sights on me. Apart from my father and my good nephew, he is the only one who dares to do this. Ouyang Siyuan, that rebellious son, should have his legs broken."

Sun Li saw another letter in front of him. The handwriting on the cover was still from his grandson Gu Jingyan, so he had to open it and read it.

"...In order to prevent the Great Yan Granary from falling into the hands of others, I hope that His Majesty will reward my wife with some expert guards."

Sun Li: "..."

Don’t you have your own secret guard?

Do you have to be so conscious as to ask the emperor to arrange a few spies around you?

This is such a complete coward, it's really unbearable to watch.

Was this the grandson's idea or that Li's?

"Jing Yan is overthinking. I also have concerns when I first heard the news. It is said that when strange phenomena fall from the sky, there will be tragedy in the world, but it is also said that when strange phenomena fall from the sky, there will be auspicious signs. No matter how I look at it, this looks like an auspicious sign. You can reassure him."

"Master Lai En said that wherever the Li family goes, there will be blessings everywhere."

"..." Sun Li had nothing to say. He was a scholar and had read the books of sages all his life.

The son does not talk strangely and forcefully.

If you believe the "master's words" now, you will be slapping yourself in the face...

Ouyang Qin saw that it was almost done, and stood up from behind the desk, "The rebellious son sent someone to rush back a few baskets of things from eight hundred miles away, saying that they were from Li Shi's filial piety. My dear minister, please stay and have lunch with me. Oh, and take the portion that Li Shi gave to you two back after lunch."

Sun Li knelt down to thank the emperor for his grace, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generosity and for your keen insight! Having such a wise ruler is the greatest blessing for our Great Yan!"

Wear it a thousand times, but flattery never wears it.

Ouyang Qin really felt that he was about to become a wise ruler...

When the dishes were placed on the table, they looked lush and green.

"Your Majesty, this is Chrysanthemum Pearl Meatball Soup"

“This is stir-fried red root vegetables.”

"This is lamb chops stewed with radish."

"..."

Finally, two fruit plates were served, one of purple grapes and one of apples.

"These were all shipped back from Li County. They are the work of the Li family. Come and have a taste."

Sun Li had an extremely difficult meal.

After returning to Sun Mansion, Sun Li almost collapsed when Chen He, who had gone with him to the mansion to announce the imperial edict, left.

Fortunately, two servants supported him, and after a flurry of activity, they finally helped the man lie down on the couch.

"Everyone go out and leave me alone..."

Many things have happened recently that have caught the old tutor off guard.

Today, I have obtained the decree from the Gu and Sun families to grant the marriage, but I also brought back a bolt of thunder.

In the inner courtyard, Sun Li's old wife, who had just brought her family to the front courtyard to receive an imperial edict, was staring at a few bunches of grapes that had gone rotten.

"What kind of fruit is this? I've never seen such a beautiful fruit."

"Oh, this Pinellia fruit is really pleasing to the eye."

“I don’t know how it tastes…”

"That's not easy, grandma, just give it a try."

The girl who was sitting nearby and making tea over a small red clay stove answered gently.
