Divorce at the beginning, the rough general is very clingy

Master, let me do something for you." Xuanyuan Hou felt a little guilty.

"You can repay me by being a good emperor. Remember what you promised me." Mi Yao looked at Xuanyuan Hou.

"The Hou will definitely not forget it." Hou Xuanyuan stood up and bowed deeply to Mi Yao.

"That's good. If you have any difficulties, you can send me a message and I will do my best to help you." Mi Yao looked at Xuanyuan Hou, her eyes full of expectation.

"Thank you, my lord. My lord, can't you just live in the capital?" Xuanyuan Hou made a final attempt to persuade her to stay.

"You know my personality. I'm used to being free. There are too many dignitaries in the capital, and there are too many restrictions. I don't like it very much. Compared with the capital, I prefer the small mountain village. It's quiet, peaceful, and simple. I can plant some flowers and crops, raise some chickens and ducks, and go up the mountain to pick some wild vegetables and hunt some game. That's the kind of life I want." Mi Yao smiled when she mentioned the retirement life that was about to begin.

"Will you come back in the future?" Xuanyuan Hou looked at Mi Yao, with indescribable emotions in his eyes, like the reluctance to part with old friends, like the worry about his elders leaving, like his backbone was gone, he was a little hesitant, and like his most precious thing was about to go away.

"Several children at home are studying, they will definitely come back." Mi Yao smiled and took out a very thick booklet.

"I'll give it to you before you leave."

Xuanyuan Hou took it with both hands. "Thank you, Master!"

He knew that everything his master gave him were good strategies for governing the country.

Xuanyuan Hou and his wife stayed to have lunch together and were reluctant to leave.

Here the emperor and his subjects were like one family, eating and drinking happily, but the scene at the Marquis of Anqing's mansion was deserted.

"Hui'er, you got married without asking for mother's opinion, and you didn't inform me when you had a child. Now you have returned to Beijing, and it has been five days. If I hadn't sent someone to notify you, you still wouldn't have said you were coming to see me. Are you doing me justice? I have been thinking about you all these years in vain..." Old Madam Xun started crying.

In fact, it was not that Xun did not want to come to see her. She took a day off the next day after returning to Beijing, and then went to see Xiao Yaqian. Then little Han Ting had a stomachache, so the couple had no mood to go out to visit. Without waiting for the child to get better, they prepared to visit old Xun, and old Xun's maid was sent over.

"Mother, it's not that I don't want to come to see you, it's just that the child has a stomachache. This is good, so I was delayed. Don't be angry." Xun held old Xun's hand.

"It's understandable that you didn't come when the child was sick, but your daughter didn't even come to see me when she returned to Beijing. I heard that she has a close relationship with the emperor and the empress. Is this because she wants to climb up the social ladder and look down on our mansion?" Old Madam Xun said in a bad tone.

"Mother, you are overthinking it. The youngest one has a lot of things to do, and the other two children can't live without her..." Xun was a little unhappy when she heard her mother blame her daughter, but she didn't dare to say anything more.

"Don't offend her. Let her come tomorrow and I will ask her what's going on." Old Mrs. Xun seemed to be throwing a tantrum and making a fuss.

Xun looked at Han Zhen helplessly. Han Zhen held his son in his arms, pretending to be mute. He had known the old lady for decades, and he knew her better than Hui'er. Without the coat of the Marquis's Mansion, she was no better than a street shrew.

After a simple meal, the couple went to Prince Gong's residence and repeated what Old Lady Xun had said.

"Haha, Mom, we're going back tomorrow. You and Dad go back and pack up." Mi Yao hugged little Han Ting and kissed his soft little belly a few times. This is her own brother, and the little guy giggled.

"Then about your grandmother..." Xun looked at her daughter.

"She just knows that the emperor and the empress are familiar with me, and she wants me to value family ties or something." Mi Mo would never simply think that she missed herself.

"Ah?" Xun obviously didn't expect that her mother wanted to see her daughter in order to seek benefits for the Xiao family.

"Listen to my youngest son, go back and pack up and go home." Han Zhen said.

"Ah."

Between the mother and the daughter, Xun naturally chose the daughter.

While Madam Xun was eagerly waiting, she received the news that the convoy from Prince Gong's mansion had left the city in the morning.

Old Xun, who was still thinking of using his status to put pressure on Mi Yao, was so angry that he smashed several cups.

Xiao Yunce felt extremely disgusted when he saw his grandmother like this.

He is getting married next month, which was arranged by his family elders. He wants to discuss it with his fiancée and go to Jingzhou together after the wedding to see if she agrees. He doesn't want to stay in this family anymore.

The carriage traveled through the mountains and rivers along the way, and the scenery on the way back was much more beautiful than when we went there.

It took more than twenty days to return to Wan'an Town.

Spring wheat and rice have been planted, and villagers from several nearby villages who did not go to work in the workshop have started raising chickens, ducks and pigs, because Mi Yao has a rule that no matter what agricultural and sideline products they are, as long as they are of good quality, she will buy them all.

That is why the people can engage in breeding without any worries, reclaim land to grow herbs and vegetables, and plant fruit trees on hillsides.

The fruit trees of Mi Yao's family are bearing fruit, and the yield is not low. The economic benefits are obviously higher than other agricultural and sideline industries, so many people go to the village chief to ask if they can buy some fruit tree seedlings.

Mi Yao naturally supported it, so he contacted Yun He, the owner of Xianguo Villa.

After Yun He recovered from his illness, he stayed on the farm. He believed that nothing was more important than life. When he saw Mi Yao's letter, he expressed his strong support and personally delivered more than 20 carts of fruit saplings to Liujia Village.

More than a dozen villages around have taken some saplings back home. Although Yun He said that fruit trees are difficult to care for and the yield and taste are unknown, there are still brave villagers willing to give it a try.

Prince Yong also followed Prince Gong's example and traveled everywhere. Now they came to Wan'an Town. The two old brothers had grown old and no longer had the sharp edges they had in the past. They were no longer threatened by the throne and imperial power. Every day, they played chess, drank tea, and went fishing. Mi Yao found a set of mahjong in the villa and taught the two old men. Now, the two men were like children with a new toy and couldn't put it down every day.

Seeing that the two were addicted to playing mahjong, Mi Yao thought it was not good, and sitting for a long time was not good for the body. So, she had someone lay a lawn, taught the two to play golf, and built a gymnasium and swimming pool for them to practice swimming, golf, tennis, and bowling when they had nothing to do. This made Prince Gong and Prince Yong very happy. Later, the two brothers and several sons of Prince Yong all came to play. Later, they also built a gymnasium of the same size in their own fiefdom.

With Mi Yao's various initiatives, various industries have expanded further and further outward. Other provincial capitals have learned that Jingzhou has become so prosperous now. Many businessmen have seen business opportunities and come here to investigate, thus boosting the tourism industry.

In addition, Xuanyuan Hou also specially sent officials from several major departments to study and take postgraduate entrance examinations in Liujia Village for two months, and returned to Beijing with fruitful results.
