The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 260 Did Little Ayu miss herself?

“We’ve both seen what Ruan Ruan looked like as a child, why would I lie to you?” Ye Yuncang pounded his leg, completely disregarding his previous image as a high monk. “Stop making a scene here. Go back to the capital; he’ll probably be happy to hear the news.”

Ouyang Pei remained unmoved: "You actually saw that child, but did you see Ruan Ruan?"

"That child was abandoned and then raised by another family," Ye Yuncang said. "Her fate is one of initial misfortune followed by good fortune, that's for sure. However, the capital is not a good place to raise a child, so let her grow up there for now. You can investigate the rest later."

At this point, Ye Yun smiled slightly: "However, if you start a war against the Great Chang Kingdom today, you may never see that child again, and the Great Chang Kingdom will never let you come and go freely like it does today."

At this time of friendly relations between the two countries, their deployment of troops abroad poses a great threat to the Great Chang Kingdom. If a war breaks out, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The friendship between the two countries, which has lasted for decades, may soon fall apart.

In war-torn countries, where do you find children?
Ouyang Pei: "Then I'll leave? I'm a general who came here on orders to garrison this place. What can I do?!"

Ye Yuncang: "Don't rush. Send a message by carrier pigeon or eagle first. Hurry up and wait for a reply from the capital."

Following Ye Yuncang's advice, Ouyang Pei, adhering to the principle of "better safe than sorry," first withdrew his troops 30 li back, and then sent a message to the capital via a flying eagle.

The capital of Xifeng Kingdom is 3000 li away from the border, which is closer than that of Dachang Kingdom.

As a result, the soldiers of Dachang Kingdom saw that the garrison of Xifeng Kingdom had inexplicably retreated 30 li.

Moreover, there were no more frequent training activities; it looked like they were on vacation.

Most importantly, within a few days, they started chanting Buddhist scriptures there.

It's like a ritual for the deceased is being performed at night.

This made the soldiers of the Great Chang Kingdom tremble with fear, afraid that they had seen something they shouldn't have.

But ultimately, they still dared not let their guard down.

So much so that later, the Western Wind Kingdom suddenly ordered a withdrawal of its troops. Then, a monk and a general came to the Great Chang Kingdom and went to drink with their general.

The group chatted and laughed, and even swore brotherhood.

They didn't know what had happened until the West Wind Kingdom had completely withdrawn.

For a moment, the soldiers of both countries were completely bewildered.

Did they get nervous for nothing?

However, that’s a story for later.

At this very moment, Qin Huai, who was in Wanning City, sat down in front of the Duke of Yong.

There was a bunch of rice on the table, covered with ears of rice.

In addition, there was a basket next to it containing cooked rice.

Upon seeing two items, the Duke of Yongguo asked with a hint of doubt, "Is this what you call the product of high-quality grain cultivation?"

Qin Huai nodded: "Yes, this is the one I saw in Hujia Village. The other one came from the Duke of Anguo's mansion. The difference between the two is quite obvious."

Duke Yong: "So you mean I should recommend products from Hu Family Village to His Majesty?"

"No, quite the opposite," Qin Huai said. "The terrain in Hujia Village is narrow and the valley area is more suitable for growing rice. However, it may not be suitable for other areas. If we use rice seeds produced in Hujia Village, they will not grow in other places and will not be as good."

Duke Yongguo looked at Qin Huai with a half-smile: "You brat, just say what you want to say directly. There's no need to beat around the bush. Do you want me to step in and suppress the rice seeds in Hujia Village so that no one else knows?"

Qin Huai pursed his lips, and finally nodded with a blush on his face.

Originally, Qin Huai did not want others to know about the seeds of Hujia Village.

Not only do the rice varieties in Hujia Village look different, but other grains also differ from other varieties.

Although Qin Huai had never worked in the fields before, he knew the approximate yield.

Chi Ding and the others had told him about the output of Hu Family Village. Everyone understands the principle that "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."

However, someone suddenly started selling rice seeds from Hujia Village outside.

It was transported from a relatively distant place, and it took a long time to trace its origin back to Hujia Village.

The buyer even wanted to offer it as tribute to the emperor.

By sheer coincidence, they were discovered and intercepted by Qin Huai midway.

After investigating, Qin Huai learned that the villagers of Hujia Village had grown too much grain and wanted to sell it to make some money.

Later, some unscrupulous businessmen found out about this and made a big fuss about it.

Qin Huai realized then that he had to deal with this matter.

Compared to the entire Great Chang Kingdom, Hu Family Village was far too weak. If this rice seed were discovered by other powerful families or clans, Hu Family Village would face an absolute catastrophe.

Unlike the two women from the Duke of Anguo's mansion, who had a large mansion backing them up, making it easy for them to rise to prominence through the Duke of Anguo's mansion.

Whether they used the name of the Duke of Anguo's mansion or directly bestowed this good name upon the Duke of Anguo's mansion, the threat they faced was less.

So their approach was clever, but at the same time, they were also controlled by the Duke of Anguo's mansion.

Qin Huai would never want Xiao Ayu to be controlled; she should be a carefree little girl.

"You've probably been bribed by those people from Hu Family Village, haven't you?" Duke Yongguo glanced at Qin Huai.

But when he thought about how Qin Huai had been cured there, and how even the divine doctor had claimed that he would live to be a hundred years old, he was still moved to the thought that Qin Huai had been cured there.

The Duke of Yong thought that it was just seeds of grain, and his family was not short of grain or money to buy it.

What good is the favor of selling a child?

Duke Yongguo: "I understand. I will handle this matter. You should focus on your studies and martial arts training, and then bring back the top scholar in the imperial examination for our Duke's mansion. That would be a great honor for our ancestors."

Qin Huai originally didn't want to agree, but considering that his maternal grandfather had already agreed, it would seem ungrateful of him to hesitate any longer.

So he nodded: "I understand, I will try my best."

He not only had to work hard for the Duke of Yongguo's mansion, but also for Xiao Ayu.

He had already planned that he would marry Xiao Ayu after he grew up and became the top scholar in the imperial examination.

In this way, Ayu can become the wife of the top scholar, and others will envy her.

Qin Huai couldn't help but smile when he thought of Xiao Ayu's smug little eyes after she became the top scholar's wife.

Perhaps they won't be able to meet for the next few years, and Qin Huai can only rely on this imagination to console his somewhat dull academic life.

"I wonder if she misses me now. Maybe she's even crying because she hasn't seen me for so long?" Qin Huai thought to himself.

However, Xiao Ayu, whom Qin Huai was thinking about, was having a great time.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiao Ayu received many gifts, and now she parades around the streets every day with these gifts, receiving compliments from other people.

When night fell, Xiao Ayu obediently lay on the bed and then disappeared into the space again.

She's almost used to life without the elves and can handle things in the space on her own now.

Just then, Xiao Ayu suddenly felt a warm light shining on her face.

【precious!】

Then, with a look of surprise, she looked ahead and spotted the figure she had been longing for.
