Farming and reading family

He suddenly felt a little confused, a feeling that was difficult to understand.

Gao E asked Jin Ruyi to look after the house while she followed Xu Boyan out.

"When did Chen Ke come back?" Xu Boyan asked suddenly.

"Two days ago."

"Why didn't I hear you say that?"

"I haven't met Lord Xu since my husband came back." Gao E felt puzzled. What was there to talk about with Xu Boyan about her family's affairs?

Xu Boyan was silent for a moment: "The princess is urging me, what's Que'er's situation now?"

"There have been a lot of people coming to our house recently, and she has started to be afraid of seeing people again." Gao E said directly.

Xu Boyan didn't know why Gao E would defend Que'er: "That snake tamer appeared again today, but he escaped. I'm not sure where he'll go."

Gao E nodded: "Are you worried that he will find Que'er?"

"I'm afraid of an accidental encounter." Xu Boyan worried.

"I understand." Gao E also had this concern. "I'm busy with the Yaji event right now and really don't have the energy to take care of Que'er. If it's really not possible, can you take her away?"

Xu Boyan would definitely not let her be taken away: "Why don't you arrange for Prince Bin to meet Que'er, and he will naturally bring Que'er to the Princess."

"If we had brought Que'er directly to the princess at the beginning, wouldn't there have been so many problems?" Gao E looked at Xu Boyan.

Xu Boyan looked aside.

If you don't have any other thoughts, of course it can be that simple.

But he was able to survive to this point by calculating every step, and he was used to it.

"I'll go back first." After he said that, he jumped on his horse and left quickly.

Gao E stood there listening to the sound of horse hooves fading away.

Luo Qing'er came over with a food box: "Is that Brother Boyan?"

"Yeah." Gao E turned around and stood side by side with Luo Qing'er.

"What's the matter, Brother Boyan?" Luo Qing'er asked suspiciously.

"It's just a small matter." Gao E said, looking at the food box in Luo Qing'er's hand. "So fast, didn't you wait for Prince Wang to finish eating?"

Luo Qing'er felt a little frustrated when she heard Sister Gao ask this: "Xue Hanyan is very hostile to me."

"She is hostile to everyone." Gao E laughed.

Xu Boyan has traveled back and forth from He County to Baotou Village many times recently, so often that it has become a habit.

Suddenly one day I realized that no matter how many times I walked this road, I was just passing by it.

Why did he think Gao E was just Gao E, not Chen Ke’s wife, not the mother of five children?

They calculated each other harmlessly and then cooperated wholeheartedly. Even if they saw through each other's thoughts, they would just smile.

This feeling made him think for a moment that he had a partner, a partner he could trust.

However, just when I saw Chen Ke, this feeling came to an abrupt end, and everything became stiff and cold...

After dinner, Gao E and the others began to discuss the Qingtan Yaji. If those people outside He County really came for the Qingtan Yaji, they would indeed need to help guide them.

"Although the place where we hold the gathering is spacious, the entrance is extremely small and is not suitable for those observers to enter." Liang Jiange expressed his opinion.

Others think so too.

"Is it necessary to accommodate those observers?" Gao E didn't expect this to happen.

"No." Yao Shengzhi shook his head. "It's just that a famous gathering will definitely attract a lot of people to watch, and some will even become a regular market."

"So our Qingtan Yaji has become so famous before it even started?" Ji Qiuniang said with a smile.

Chen Ke looked at Gao E.

Gao E thought for a moment: "How do you usually solve this kind of situation?"

Yao Shengzhi and the others looked at each other.

"This situation doesn't need to be resolved. They came here on their own initiative and can handle everything on their own." Yun Ya had never encountered this problem.

Yuan Sitong nodded and said, "I've also been to other gatherings. Although there were quite a few literati, most of them were merchants and gentry who wanted to make friends with those literati. They were all wealthy people."

When Gao E heard the word "rich people", she immediately thought of making money: "Then let's go to He County tomorrow to see, after all, those people came here because of the Qingtan Yaji."

"I won't go." Yun Ya refused. "I want to read more books in the school."

Yao Shengzhi and Yuan Sitong nodded, indicating that they would not go either.

"I'll go with you." Ji Qiuniang looked at Gao E.

"Okay." Gao E nodded.

Xu Boyan has been sitting at the table without saying a word since he came back from Baotou Village. Bai Hao looked at Zhu Mo, who shrugged and spread his hands to indicate that he knew nothing.

Bai Hao thought his grandfather was such an open-minded person, so why did he suddenly become depressed?

The two people tiptoed away and stopped only after they were a little further away.

"Did something happen when you and grandpa went to Baotou Village?" Bai Hao asked in a low voice.

"No." Zhu Mo was sure.

"Then what's going on?" Bai Hao was puzzled. "Tell me in detail how I went to Baotou Village."

"This isn't a good idea." Zhu Mo was embarrassed.

"What's wrong with that? We are doing this for my own good." Bai Hao urged.

At this time, Xu Boyan strode out and the two men stood up immediately.

"Get ready and go to Yueyuan." Xu Boyan ordered.

The two people felt puzzled. Their grandfather obviously didn't like going to Yueyuan, so why did he suddenly take the initiative to go to Yueyuan?

Gao E only brought Lianxin with her to He County. When she left, she privately told Lu Qingluo to take good care of Que'er. Lu Qingluo didn't want to deal with others, so he went directly to Zheng Xiaoshun's house.

There were only Gao E and Ji Qiuniang in the carriage. Ji Qiuniang was leaning against the carriage, even more relaxed than Gao E.

"I don't think you and Mr. Chen look like a couple." Ji Qiuniang said suddenly.

Gao E didn't expect Ji Qiuniang to start with this sentence: "What does it look like?"

"Like the shopkeeper and the clerk." Ji Qiuniang would look at Gao E whenever she thought of Chen Ke.

Gao E laughed and said, "There are many ways for couples to get along. Shopkeeper and clerk is one of them. What's the problem?"

Ji Qiuniang sat up straight after hearing Gao E say this: "That's what I said, but I feel like you have no feelings for each other."

"Who stipulated that couples must have feelings for each other?" Gao E looked at Ji Qiuniang calmly.

Ji Qiuniang was smart since childhood and was favored by her father and brothers. When she was a child, her family originally wanted to hire a female teacher to teach her, but she insisted on dressing up as a man to go to school and even beat the boys in the school until they cried.

Later, her father had no choice but to set up a private school. She was the most knowledgeable student in the school, which made the teacher who taught them feel very frustrated.

Later, the Ji family declined in size and the family school was no longer run. Ji Qiuniang was also older and often mingled with various literary gatherings and had gained some fame.

When she reached the age to get married, her family was very strict, so she simply ran away from home. Along the way, she made friends with many literati, and her poems became famous as they were circulated.

She was stunned for a moment when she heard Gao E's answer, then she laughed: "Indeed, there is no such rule. You are the first person I have ever met who doesn't care whether a couple has feelings for each other or not."

"So, Mr. Ji also cares about whether the couple has feelings for each other." Gao E took the opportunity to ask.
