Dressed as a top-notch girl, leading the whole village to become rich

To be a substitute for another person, unless there is no way out, no normal person would be willing to do that.

Especially for the heroine Ye An, who is tenacious and determined to move forward. For her, this kind of thing is simply a shame.

"I...I don't know."

Ye An didn’t know whether he had the right to choose.

"hehe."

Xu Changqing's two low laughs almost made her agree.

Her palms were full of sweat and her lips were bright red.

"Well, go on your own then."

Xu Changqing never forces others to do things against their will.

However, after receiving the training, Ye An was kicked out by the national teacher, which made him feel uneasy.

Without even thinking, he knelt down and said, "Please tell me, Imperial Master, what is the reason for my visit to the Imperial City?"

Not bad, a bit courageous.

Xu Changqing placed the jade on the stone table, and the crisp sound of the collision was terrifying.

Finally, he turned around and faced the heroine who was kneeling on the ground and dared not look up.

"You are a smart person, and you are a person with good fortune. Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

"Since you have already refused, then everything has nothing to do with you."

"What you have learned will be put to use soon in the future. Consider it my gift to you for Xiao Guo's sake."

After Xu Changqing finished speaking, he walked away without waiting for her reaction.

As for the heroine, her heart never relaxed until she was sent to the new house by the housekeeper.

Later, she learned that the new house was rented by the Imperial Master for a period of one year. In fact, if she wanted to buy it during this year, the price had been negotiated for her in advance, and it was a very fair price.

She felt even more uneasy, yet still had a hopeful hope.

Xu Changqing was indeed good at fortune-telling. But in one's life, especially for someone like Ye An who couldn't use common sense to predict, fate was always changing.

It was because I saw Ye An's rebirth and knew that she was blessed with good fortune that I wanted to replace her.

But what he didn't expect was that her fiancé was also a man of luck. Adding the two together, it was another situation.

Otherwise, if he wanted to, he wouldn't leave her any room for refusal.

As for replacing Ye Guo, it was just an opportunity for Ye An to refuse.

Ye Guo went to the imperial city not because of anyone's order.

Rather, it was the variables in Daqing's national destiny that he discovered by chance while observing the night sky at the Star-Picking Terrace before he came.

At the same time, he discovered that this variable was a binary star, and it appeared and disappeared from time to time.

So before coming to Yejia Village, he had the idea of having someone replace him.

He asked Ye Guo in person, and Ye Guo refused outright.

People’s beliefs have their own aura.

He always insisted that she should not be put in danger, because this variable person needed to stay by his side.

It's not that leaves and fruits are not acceptable.

"Sir, what should I do next?"

Xu Changqing has nine personal guards around him, and the one kneeling in front of him is the leader, the chief of the personal guards.

Like other guards, he was wearing a tight suit and a weapon on his waist. Under his clothes, he was covered with various injuries, leaving marks and scars.

What was different from the other guards was that he was wearing a mask on his face at this time.

The imperial master's personal guards, regardless of gender, only recognize masks, not people.

As their master, Xu Changqing holds the power of life and death over them, but he is not able to easily see their true faces.

But for a fortune teller, judging a person is not just about the face.

"Let Yan Qi take over." Xu Changqing picked a man from his personal guards.

"Yan Er, Yan San, stay and protect her."

Xu Changqing's previous tolerance made Yan Yi not accept the order immediately, but spoke instead.

"My Lord, do you have any other identities? If you don't give me any specific instructions, please forgive me for my negligence. The Imperial Guard is only responsible for you and your future wife."

Xu Changqing looked over and was silent for a long time before he spoke word by word to this disobedient subordinate.

"If she dies, Daqing's national destiny will be damaged. Do you still think she needs another identity?"

The identity of a personal guard allowed Yan Yi to know everything he should and shouldn’t know.

However, as someone who knew Ye Guo's identity, he remained unmoved after hearing Xu Changqing's words.

"Reporting to the Lord, the Imperial Guard is only responsible for you and your future wife."

A trace of helplessness flashed through Xu Changqing's heart, and more of it was a kind of inexplicable embarrassment.

From the moment he saw Ye Guo again, he knew that he was attracted to her.

With just a frown, she could easily stir up all his emotions.

Every minute he spent with her, he felt free, happy and unrestrained, without having to hide anything.

Her character, her concern for the world, her intelligence and wisdom... every little thing made his feelings for her even deeper.

However, would the identity of the Imperial Master's wife bring her a greater threat?

Besides, she is so young.

"Then just treat her as, yes."

Yan Yi then took the order seriously and went down to make arrangements.

Xu Changqing was left alone, repeatedly considering whether this approach was right or wrong.

However, the good thing is that the guards are only his own guards. They don't need to report to anyone else, not even His Majesty.

Ye Guo didn't know that someone was worried about her, nor did she know that Xu Changqing's personal guards were by her side.

At this time, there was one thing that bothered her greatly.

The village decided to let her handle all the rice harvested this fall.

From the perspective of dealing with next year's famine, this is simply a blessing in disguise.

But the problem is that if all the new grain is left in Yejia Village, it will be too conspicuous. If there is a famine, people who grab grain will not care about the target.

But selling it is not an option either, as most villagers understand that the grain will most likely be used to grow rice seeds.

After thinking it over, Ye Guo discussed it with Ye Lao Er.

"We will exchange grain with Magistrate Lu. We will use the autumn grain to exchange for the old grain in the county's granary."

"In this way, we can hide all the old grain equivalent to the autumn grain quota."

"It's the villagers' food for next year."

Ye Lao Er was very supportive of this idea. "But we need to make it clear with Magistrate Lu in advance. When the time comes to actually make the change, we can only give him one-third at most. I'm worried that he won't be able to keep this grain next year."

It's not that he underestimated Magistrate Lu, but in the face of a natural disaster, if one can only choose between food and life, the result is obvious.

Ye Guo felt that his second brother was right. "Don't worry, I will talk to him personally about this."

"But, we can't store all this food in one place. You and my brother have been searching for half a month. Have you found a suitable place?"
