Farming and reading family

He came to Chen's house in the evening to see his daughter and left after staying for less than two hours.

"Why do I feel that Brother Boyan has lost weight?" Luo Qing'er looked worried as she sent Xu Boyan away.

"Really?" Gao E also felt that Xu Boyan had lost weight and it seemed that his life was not going well.

"Yes." Luo Qing'er was very sure. "I plan to go to the capital."

"Why are you going to the capital at this time?" Gao E said unhappily.

"I'm going to get some information in the capital to prevent Brother Boyan from being so passive."

"Just keep quiet." Gao E refused directly. "Your relationship is not a secret. Don't let anyone kidnap you and threaten Xu Boyan without getting any information."

Luo Qing'er thought this was possible and immediately dismissed the idea.

In winter, the construction of houses in the Shuyuan Mountain Pass area is in full swing, and farmers and tenants from the surrounding areas come here to work.

Gao E didn't ask about these things. What she was worried about now was the silk.

Nguyen Phuc Seng hasn't come yet this year. I don't know if he was delayed or if something happened. There has been no news about the name he mentioned before.

She couldn't keep the silk from being sold, and keeping it for a long time wouldn't be a problem.

Just when she was considering selling the silk first, Nguyen Phuc Seng and his group of six arrived, one of whom was his mother.

"Our ship encountered a storm at sea. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but some cargo was lost. However, we found this." He said, taking out a piece of sweet potato the size of a carrot.

Gao E was excited: "Did you find it?"

"The leaves look the same as what Boss Gao drew, but the root is a little smaller," Nguyen Phuc Sang said with a smile. "We were docked on a deserted island, and luckily we knew this was edible."

"Only one piece?" Gao E was wondering whether to break it open.

"There are two more baskets on the carriage." Ruan Fusheng took Gao E out to see.

Gao E looked at the two baskets of sweet potatoes and felt that it was worth it for her to save silk for the Ruan family: "That's great, I saved all this year's silk for you."

"Thank you." Ruan Fusheng was really worried that Boss Gao had sold the silk to someone else.

After all, he hasn't been here for so long.

"I brought my family here this time. Regardless of whether our ship is out to sea or not, our family will come here regularly to buy silk from Boss Gao." Nguyen Phuc Seng introduced his family to Gao E.

Gao E led people to the main hall: "This is better, we don't have to worry about either side."

The Ruan family was also full of sincerity. Gao E took them to see the weaving workshop. The Ruan family did not expect that He County could produce such good silk.

Mrs. Ruan immediately decided to create a pseudonym and work closely with Gao E.

After dealing with the Ruan family's affairs, Gao E's weaving workshop also got back on track.

She was not afraid that the Ruan family would go back on their word, as she would have no trouble selling her silk anyway.

A few years ago, Gao E was checking the accounts when she received a letter from Yunshuang.

The letter said that Prince Qing wanted her to go to the Tao family to win over the Tao family, and she could not reveal her identity and had to go to the Tao family. At that time, she would pass by Yingcheng and wanted to meet her in Yingcheng.

Gao E calculated the time and took Lu Qingluo, Lin Sike and Yun Zhou to Yingcheng.

There were not many refugees along the way, and Yingcheng was also very lively. Gao E saw that Yunshuang had not arrived yet, so she bought some things she had never seen before.

Things have really gone up in price.

Gao E waited in Yingcheng for two days before she saw the convoy escorting Yunshuang.

At night, Yunshuang sent the people around her away, and Lu Qingluo took Gao E and sneaked into Yunshuang's room.

"Big sister." Yunshuang saw Gao E holding her hand tightly.

"What's wrong?" Gao E looked at Yunshuang's nervous expression.

Yunshuang also felt that she had gone too far: "Princess Qing wants to adopt my son under her name."

"Why?" Gao E asked suspiciously.

That is the title of legitimate son. How could Princess Qing give it to Yunshuang's son for no reason?

Yunshuang hesitated for a moment. "The princess's son died of illness. Princess Qing was too heartbroken to bear children again. Now I am the only one in the Qing Palace who has a son."

Gao E felt that this might involve a family feud: "You don't want to be adopted?"

Who wants their son to call someone else "mother"?

Although her son always called Princess Qing "mother".

"It's not easy to be the legitimate son of Prince Qing." Yun Shuang sighed.

Whether Princess Qing's son died of illness or Princess Qing was too sad and had an accident and was unable to give birth, there was something strange about it.

Gao E understood: "So what are your plans?"

What could Yunshuang have planned? She was still a member of the Tao family on the surface, but she had no backing at all. "If I can help Prince Qing win over the Tao family this time, perhaps I can save my son."

Gao E felt that the Tao family would not support Prince Qing just because of Yunshuang, and once the Tao family got close to Yunshuang, the prince might take action.

"I guess you won't get any good results if you go to the Tao family." Gao E speculated.

Yunshuang was silent.

She was originally given to the emperor by the Tao family, and the emperor gave her to Prince Qing as a reward. After that, she had no contact with the Tao family.

"How is Prince Qing now?" Gao E suddenly asked.

"I can already compete with the Crown Prince and Prince Huai. It's a pity that I broke up with Lord Xu." Yun Shuang sighed.

Gao E also felt that this matter was a bit troublesome.

She didn't know what Xu Boyan was thinking, and what he would do after reaching this point.

"I want to send the child out of Prince Qing's Mansion. Big sister, can you..." Yunshuang looked at Gao E with a pleading look.

"Are you sure you can avoid all the eyes and ears in the capital?" Gao E looked at Yunshuang.

Yunshuang was silent.

She can't.

She was already cautious enough, but she still couldn't avoid being affected by those fights.

"Go to the Tao family first. I guess the Tao family will ask you to be an insider in Prince Qing's Mansion. Just do it perfunctorily to protect yourself." Gao E advised.

Yunshuang actually wanted to persuade the Tao family, but gave up after hearing what Sister Gao said.

She wanted to see Gao E because she felt uneasy, and when Gao E really came to see her, she felt that Sister Gao was someone she could rely on.

The two didn't talk much. Prince Qing sent someone to escort Yunshuang and also kept an eye on Yunshuang to prevent any accidents from happening on the way.

The next day when Yunshuang went out, Yunzhou disguised himself as Xiaosi and met his sister. The brother and sister had to pretend not to know each other when they met.

Gao E stayed in Yingcheng for another day before returning home. When she got home, she saw Xu Boyan sitting in the side room of her house and eating barbecue.

"I thought I wouldn't be able to see you again." Xu Boyan gestured for Gao E to sit down. "It's almost Chinese New Year, where have you been?"

"I met an old friend." Gao E asked someone to move the things off the carriage and sat opposite Xu Boyan.

"Old friend?" Xu Boyan wanted to say that Gao E had an old friend. "Are you short of money?"

"Ah?" Gao E didn't understand. Xu Boyan spoke a little too fast.

"I heard from Qing'er that you sold the land." Xu Boyan said directly.

In his eyes, Gao E started selling land because she was short of money.

"Oh." Gao E didn't expect this to happen. "I think the land is a bit too much."

Xu Boyan wanted to laugh: "When you had no money, you kept buying land, but now that you have more money, you start selling land instead."

"Duan Yuping forced me to buy those more than 1,000 acres of land. I didn't intend to buy so much. It just so happens that I can sell them now." Gao E said indifferently.
