Traveling through time and space

"My Lords, promoting planting is not something that can be done overnight or in a month. We have to do it slowly. Besides, it takes several months for a crop to mature from planting. Each of your county offices can find people to learn from you. You should find them and learn on your own, instead of waiting at home for people to come to you. If every place has to wait, and thousands of people are helping at the same time, it will take several years."

"Princess, I know I was wrong and will send someone to learn from me."

"Du Heng, all of you please stand up and talk." Gu Yuanyuan motioned Du Heng to stand up. "Do you also want food?" As soon as Gu Yuanyuan asked, everyone came forward and complained. In short, they all wanted food, three months' worth, four months' worth.

"Okay, I'll think about it. You guys go back today and I'll think about the details later." Gu Yuanyuan felt speechless. Why were they all debt collectors? As a master, she was also very cowardly. After being arranged to stay in her own room, Gu Yuanyuan was completely relaxed.

"Master," Ayan and Achen both appeared in front of Gu Yuanyuan.

"Come down and talk," Gu Yuanyuan shouted.

"Du Heng went to ask for an audience with the Princess."

"Don't worry about it. You can go and rest. At midnight, accompany this princess out of the city." After they disappeared, Gu Yuanyuan called Aluan, Ayu, Ayan, and Azhao, and whispered to them to find a quiet and open place outside the city and come back within three hours. Gu Yuanyuan wanted to do things at midnight, so she took a simple bath and changed her clothes. Someone came from the eldest princess's mother and said that the eldest princess invited the legitimate princess to have dinner together.

When Gu Yuanyuan arrived at the Princess's place, she realized there was someone else there. "Brother, you're here."

"Greetings to the legitimate princess." Du Heng, who was sitting, stood up to greet her.

"Master Du, big brother, please take a seat," Gu Yuanyuan sat down and asked them to sit down. Then she looked at her mother's eyes, which showed a bit of worry and a bit of joy. Gu Yuanyuan thought about the purpose of her mother coming here, "Dongmei, take people to wait outside the courtyard. No one is allowed to come in." Dongmei bowed and left. "Mother, Yuanyuan knows the reason for your coming. Let's just talk openly and honestly today."

"Yuanyuan, you."

"Mom, this matter has to be resolved. If we keep dragging it on, we'll waste our best lives. You and Master Du are both over fifty years old, and how many more good days are left? Why don't we just tear off this window paper? Can you bear to watch our eldest brother live like this?"

"Princess, what are you talking about? Mother, what are you talking about?" the eldest brother stood up and asked.

"Brother, they are your biological parents." Gu Yuanyuan looked at her brother calmly, "Mom, Yuanyuan feels a little unwell, I'll go back and rest first." Gu Yuanyuan got up and went back to her yard, "Keep an eye on Young Master Wei, don't let anything happen." Gu Yuanyuan knew that Wei Yuhan might not be able to accept it in a short period of time. After all, he had lived for so many years not knowing who he was and being ridiculed by others. Gu Yuanyuan instructed that since she had taken him in, she should protect him well. She went back to the room, found an excuse, asked Dongmei and the others to go out, and entered the space herself, ate some fruit, and drank some soup. The children were not around, and she wanted to find a chance to have a good sleep and didn't want to do anything.

"Master, they are back." Gu Yuanyuan had some food in the empty space and was taking a comfortable bath in the spiritual water when she heard Bai Ze's voice. In the space, she also heard Bai Ze's voice.

"Princess, your subordinates have found it. It's in a forest ten miles outside the east gate." Alua stepped forward and replied.

"Okay, everyone follow me and be responsible for vigilance." Gu Yuanyuan ordered softly. It doesn't matter if it's open or covert, it's good to have more people to use these followers. "It's the old rules." Seeing that they all took out blindfolds to cover their eyes, they held hands and Gu Yuanyuan silently recited ten miles outside the east gate. They soon arrived at their destination. "You spread out and be on guard, two hundred steps each." Gu Yuanyuan ordered, watching them go to do their duties. Gu Yuanyuan directly bought 20 million kilograms of grain, 3 million of various grains, potatoes, sorghum, millet, which looked like two big mountains. After finishing all this, Gu Yuanyuan was too tired to sit on the ground, panting. He also felt sorry for his money. He spent a lot of it today.

"Princess, what's wrong with you?" A Yan stood beside Gu Yuanyuan.

"It's okay. This princess is a little tired," Gu Yuanyuan stood up with his support, "Aluan, Ayu, Achen, the three of you stay here on guard. If anyone is not honest, just kill them." After Gu Yuanyuan gave the order, she took the rest of the people back to her room in the government office through the space, "Ayan, go knock on Du Heng's door and tell him that the food this princess transported has arrived. Ask him to get up quickly and ask people to take over and distribute it. Then ask someone to find the person in charge of promotion in Luxiaopingzhou and ask him to come as soon as possible." After giving the order, Gu Yuanyuan went to the space to sleep with peace of mind. She slept more comfortably this time. When she woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.

"Princess, you are finally awake. Young Master Wei wants to leave, and the little Russian has been dragging him away." Hearing the voice in the room, Dongmei hurried in and spoke anxiously.

"Did Du Heng go to get the food?"

"Master Du went out in the middle of the night, Princess, I am talking about the eldest master."

"Little girl, are you in love with him? Otherwise, why are you so anxious? He's an adult. If he wants to leave, no one can stop him. He's an adult and will be responsible for his own actions." Gu Yuanyuan looked at Rumei who was cleaning for her. "Dress casually and don't wear any jewelry."

"Princess, please stop teasing me. I'm just worried that it's unsafe for the eldest young master to go out like this. You didn't see how he looked at the time. I heard he couldn't sleep all night, and he'll leave as soon as the day breaks."

"Does the Princess know that he's leaving?"

"I don't know. Seeing his condition, I was afraid something might happen, so I asked the little guy to drag him away. Princess, do you mean for us to let him go?"

"Alright, I'm getting up now. I want to quietly go out to the street to have breakfast today. I'd like to ask the eldest young master if he would like to accompany me?"

"What do you mean, Princess?"

"Don't talk nonsense. You like him. In fact, this princess has already seen it."

"Princess, stop teasing me. In fact, Gu Yuanyuan really saw it a long time ago. Dongmei really has some feelings for this Brother Wei. Every time she comes, Dongmei personally serves tea and snacks to Brother Wei. Gu Yuanyuan has seen some signs of the girl's thoughts. It's just that their status is not suitable for each other. How could the princess agree? Thinking of this, Gu Yuanyuan shook her head helplessly.

"Don't follow me, Ah Yan, Ah Zhao, just follow me," Gu Yuanyuan ordered. She shouted into the air. The two stayed in the dark. She went out and said, "Brother, let's go to the street and see if there's anything delicious. Yuanyuan will treat you." Xiao Maozi wanted to follow, but Gu Yuanyuan raised her head, signaling him not to follow. The two of them left the house through the back door and walked down the street. "Brother, where do you want to go?"

"I..."

"Brother, just say what you want to say. Yuanyuan can understand how you feel." Looking at the street, it seems quite normal. The people coming and going are very comfortable. There are small vendors doing business and shops next to each other. This society is still normal.

"I'm very confused. Although I've lived in the Princess's Mansion these years, I know my identity. I'm an adopted son, a child adopted by the Princess. I never dare to move forward for fear of being laughed at." As he spoke, Gu Yuanyuan saw a few beggars looking at a bun shop opposite from a distance. When they were close, Gu Yuanyuan saw two of the children swallowing their saliva. The look in their eyes showed that they really wanted to eat. "Princess," Wei Yuhan kept talking, and soon saw Gu Yuanyuan who was a little dazed.

"Second brother, I have lived a life worse than theirs for thirteen years. Thinking about it now, I can describe it as a life worse than death. But now, good times have come, and I am living a normal life. Big brother, you are happier than Yuanyuan. Although mother did not recognize your identity before, you both lived by each other's side. Now think about it, mother is your mother. She watched helplessly as you suffered grievances, but could not bear them for you, and could not recognize you. How painful her heart must be. Big brother, now that you know all the truth, you should move on. The past is the past. Accompany them well. If you really leave, how sad mother and Lord Du will be."

"Yuanyuan, it's me."

"Brother, you're a man, don't be so fussy. Listen to Yuanyuan's advice, move on, live a good life, reunite with your family, and make them feel at ease. Otherwise, they will feel guilty about you. How can they live a comfortable life with such guilt?" Gu Yuanyuan tried her best to comfort him. They sat in the bun shop and each of them ordered two buns. After thinking about it, Gu Yuanyuan ordered twenty more and put them aside. Gu Yuanyuan said many words to comfort him, "Brother, do you have a woman you like?"

Wei Yuhan shook his head, "Maybe it's my destiny to be alone."

"Brother, don't underestimate yourself. From now on, you and the second brother of the Cai family will help Yuanyuan with things. With you as Yuanyuan's right-hand men, Yuanyuan will have an easier time."

"Can I really help the princess? Princess, please don't do it for your mother's sake all these years."

"Brother, these years, you have not been confident enough and have not believed in yourself enough." Gu Yuanyuan said very confidently. After eating the buns, Gu Yuanyuan stood up. The eldest brother picked up the oil paper bag that wrapped the buns. Gu Yuanyuan took him to the beggars. Gu Yuanyuan squatted down and said, "Kids, I will ask you a few questions. If you answer them correctly, these buns will be yours." Gu Yuanyuan found the youngest child.

"Miss, I'm his brother, my name is Guier. What do you want to ask?" The older child next to them came over.

"Guier, my brother and I have just come to Luxiaopingzhou from other places and are not very familiar with this place. Could you please introduce the situation of Luxiaopingzhou? Which jewelry store and which rouge and powder store are the best? Which restaurant has the best food? Which pharmacy is the most honest? Which academy's teacher is the most knowledgeable?" Gu Yuanyuan sat down casually and asked.

"Miss, are you interested in these?"

"Yes, we brothers and sisters have just arrived. If we want to buy something, it would be easier, right?" Gui'er said a lot, but Gu Yuanyuan felt that they were staring at the paper bag in the eldest brother's hand. After hearing that they had said almost everything, Gu Yuanyuan nodded, stood up, and was about to nod and leave.

"Do you want them to stop getting used to getting something for nothing?" Brother Wei asked, and Gu Yuanyuan nodded.

"Yes, people, you have to work hard for everything you do. Nothing comes easy."

"Yuanyuan, big brother is not as good as you."

"Brother, let's put the past behind us. Life moves forward, and we must also look forward."

"Don't worry, I will. In fact, it has not been easy for mother these years. Princess, please don't tell mother about what happened today."

"Don't worry, Yuanyuan also wants mother to be happy. Big brother remembers what you said. Yuanyuan can see that there is affection between mother and Du Heng. Let's bless them." Gu Yuanyuan saw that big brother Wei nodded. Seeing that he let it go, Gu Yuanyuan was naturally happy. The two had just returned to the government office and saw their mother sitting in her room with a sad face. "Mom, what's wrong?"
