Farmers of Shu Han

Chapter 95
After Huang Yueying motioned for the maid to step down, she asked, "Yinping, do you have something on your mind recently?"

"My niece has always been by my aunt's side, why do you say what's on your mind?"

"The swordsmanship of your Guan family is too strong and not suitable for women to learn. Don't forget, most of your martial arts are taught by me. Speaking of which, I can be regarded as your half-mother. Is there something on my daughter's mind, I can't see that?"

Huang Yueying pushed the bowl towards Guan Ji and said, "Drink first."

Seeing Guan Ji obediently holding up the bowl, he continued: "It's because you've been with me all the time, so I'm wondering, where did your thoughts come from? Then Li Dalang has something to do with you. Tell me, is it because of him?"

Guan Ji shook her head, rarely removed her cold disguise, and said plainly, "My niece hasn't seen that Li Dalang for a long time."

Huang Yueying frowned: "How could this be the case? Didn't he return to the capital for a long time? Why hasn't he come to see you? No wonder I haven't seen you go out these days. Could it be that the two of you quarreled?"

Guan Ji always showed a rare smile on her beautiful face with frost, and comforted Huang Yueying: "Where do you want to go? Li Dalang and I have only met a few times, and we are not familiar with each other yet. , why are you arguing?"

"That's not good." Huang Yueying snorted, dissatisfied, "Since you have decided to marry into the Li family, why are you so distant?"

Seeing Guan Ji's silence, Huang Yueying sighed and said, "The chaos in Nanzhong was just beginning to emerge, and the prime minister wanted to win over the Nanzhong clan, so you offered to marry the Li family voluntarily. I don't quite agree. Now, it seems that my original worries have been answered."

Guan Ji looked at Huang Yueying in astonishment, and asked, "Why did my aunt think like this, and why did she never tell her niece to listen?"

"At that time, you were full of people to revive the Guan family's mind, how to persuade them? Besides, the Prime Minister is also in full support of this matter, I'm afraid to say anything. I was thinking of letting you two get along for some time. If your temperament is compatible, then It saved me from worrying, but I still had some luck in my heart."

"My niece still doesn't understand." Guan Ji's eyes widened, her eyes full of confusion.

"You haven't experienced the relationship between a man and a woman, how can you understand?" Huang Yueying took her hand lovingly and explained, "For a husband and wife, it is the right way to complement each other. A gentleman who can tolerate you will have a beautiful life. But that gentleman Li Dalang seems to be elegant, but he has a competitive temperament. Others can't see it, but I can see it."

After speaking, Huang Yueying took a sip from the bowl, and then continued: "A few days ago, the Prime Minister asked about the relationship between you and him, and once mentioned that Li Dalang asked to talk to Feng Lang. You are going to Hanzhong. Do you know why?"

Hearing the word Hanzhong, Guan Ji's eyes moved slightly, and she blurted out, "Why?"

"Naturally, he was dissatisfied with Erlang and Wang Dalang being rewarded by the imperial court. That Li Dalang seems to be kind to others, but he is not a kind person. Yejian, you have made a huge contribution, so many generals went to Zhao's house to visit General Zhao a few days ago, and others don't know about it.

"That credit was not made by Erlang." Guan Ji pursed her lips and smiled.

"Then who told him to have a good life and follow someone with ability?" Huang Yueying also smiled, as if thinking of a certain bastard, "I got a reward later, and a few days ago I got a Hanzhong Dian Agricultural Officer. Don't look at Hanzhong today. Desolate, in the future..." After saying this, he paused, "If you follow that Feng Langjun in the future, and give credit, I'm afraid it will be more promising than his eldest brother."

"Auntie's meaning is that Li Dalang refused to accept that Erlang won the award, so he also asked to go to Hanzhong?"

"If you don't want to be convinced, it doesn't count. It's just that Li Dalang believes that his intelligence is higher than Erlang, and naturally he is not reconciled to Erlang's beauty, so I say that he is a competitive personality. If there is nothing between you and him. Fortunately, whenever there is a disagreement, I am afraid that it may not be easy to reconcile."

After speaking, Huang Yueying sighed again: "What I am most worried about is that you married him with the intention of revitalizing the Guan family. In his eyes, you are looking at him, the direct son of the Li family. Identity, not the person he is. Man, he is always greedy. Before I get you, everything is easy to say. I am afraid that after marrying him, if he doesn't say anything, he may not mind that your heart is not with him. There, just thinking about closing the house."

"Then aunt, what should I do?" Guan Ji lowered her head and asked softly.

"If you can cater to him on weekdays, it's not impossible to let go of the past. It's just your temper..." Huang Yueying shook her head with a wry smile.

Guan Ji didn't look up, her eyes fell on her calloused hands that had been practicing martial arts all the year round.It was originally a pair of very white and tender hands, but because of his self-abuse of martial arts, it has become even uglier than those of the warriors.

"Auntie, I also want to go to Hanzhong."

Guan Ji finally raised her head and said to Huang Yueying.

"Father, the big room is so deceiving, how can you bear it?"

In the Li family ancestral hall next to Fengzhuang, a young man was speaking to the Li family Taigong angrily.

Those who can enter the ancestral hall are all men of direct status, and they can be regarded as the core of a room.

"That's right, that big room suffered a loss, what does it have to do with my sixth room?"

"Liu Lang can't say that, the Li family's several rooms are not all connected by the same spirit? It's just that the big room has gone too far this time..."

The people below are old and young, and their faces are more or less resentful, and they are talking about it.

Sitting at the top was Li Taigong, who had met Feng Yong twice.

An old man with white hair and beard next to him asked Taigong Li, "Patriarch, what is the rule of thumb for this matter? In Hanzhong, could it be true that we can settle the land?"

"The person who said it was from the big room listened to what Liao Gongyuan said, so I'm afraid it's true." Li Taigong nodded and said.

The patriarch opened his mouth, and the people below were quiet.

Li Taigong looked at the crowd and coughed lightly: "In the news from the big room, the court has released a new type of plow, called the eight ox plow. This plow can only be pulled by eight oxen, hence the name. The daily ploughing is better than that of a hundred skilled old farmers, which is really a weapon for cultivating the land.”

There was an uproar from the crowd.

"But eldest father, the court is very wary of me and other aristocratic families, and I'm afraid it won't be easy to get that eight ox plow."

It was the young man who spoke earlier, and this person was Li Taigong's grandson, Li Dalang.

"Naturally it's not easy. The eight ox plows made by the imperial court will only be sold to the ministers in the middle of the dynasty first, so how could they be given to me and other noble families first?" Li Taigong nodded and continued, "So that big house got Liao Gongyuan's promise, but Give it to our Li family."
