Space peasant girl: madly criticizing Xianggong for being weak and bullying

Chapter 312 Toad wants to eat swan meat
Gu Changan has already rolled up his sleeves: "Okay, let's go together."

Xiao Ran suppressed her heartache, this girl is indeed her father's daughter, no matter how hard life is, she can still find fun.

The Xiao family and the Ning family were busy in the milk tea shop, and they didn't notice the passage of time. All the exams passed before they knew it. During this period, everyone didn't delay anything, and they also exchanged feelings by the way, and became more and more acquainted.

During the days waiting for the announcement of the rankings, Xiaoxiao took her parents to see the mountains and rivers she built—walking through the mountains she bought, seeing the fruit trees she planted, passing the ponds she dug and others dug, she couldn't help but I can't help feeling: "Are you busy?"

Xiaoxiao scratched her head embarrassingly: "It's okay."

She told her parents about her business experience, from fresh fruit and preserved fruit wine to lotus seeds and lotus root powder, Xiao Ran raised her hands and applauded: "Your father and I don't have the talent to do business, so it seems that you are better than me." We are strong."

What she thought in her heart was that if she could live up to her expectations and not talk about anything else, at least the brothers in the frontier would be able to live better.

At this time, Xiaoxiao asked with a smile: "Ahem, since I am so strong, are parents interested in cooperating with me?"

Cooperation?

Gu Changan wiped off the flour from his face, and looked at his daughter with his wife: "I would like to hear more about it."

Xiaoxiao ran into the house again, brought a plain cloth bag and pushed it in front of them: "This is it."

The two unwrapped the bag, not surprised to see a whole bag of dehydrated vegetables lying inside.

Xiaoxiao said: "I made this before I came to Beijing, and it's been more than a month now. Now it's midsummer, and the food is most likely to go bad, but they seem to be fine."

To prove this, they prepared boiling water and soaked the vegetables in it.

The crispy dried vegetables quickly spread out after being soaked in boiling water, and the green color did not fade at all, but seemed to be more vivid. Even though they had seen it before, Gu Changan and Xiao Ran were still amazed: "Are you going to do this? Door business?"

Xiaoxiao nodded: "Actually, it's not mainly for business."

"I heard that the climate at the frontier is weird. It's extremely hot in summer and extremely cold in winter. The land there can't grow food and vegetables, so both the soldiers and the common people have a very difficult life. If we can send them there, it will surely make everyone's life easier. a little better."

"But I haven't thought about how to let the people at the border get benefits, and not be used to make money for their own selfish desires. What are you doing looking at me like that?"

Xiao Ran and Gu Chang'an looked at each other and smiled: "It's nothing, you continue to talk." They were just happy, happy to have such a daughter.

They can see the value of dehydrated vegetables, let alone those who value profits.

Xiaoxiao didn't take out the dehydrated vegetables too quickly at the beginning, because she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to keep them.

At that time, losing the formula is a small thing, and if it hurts the family, the loss outweighs the gain. After all, in order to protect their own interests, the person who gets the formula may get rid of all other people who know it.

"It's different now, with the dignified name of General Xiao, who would dare to covet this formula?"

"Father, let's start doing it today."

The sooner they are produced in large quantities, the earlier they can be sent to the border.

Based on Xiaoxiao's accumulated understanding of Gu Chang'an in the past few days, she thought that her father would immediately get into the kitchen as eagerly as she did, but when she turned her head, she saw his complex expression: "Xiaoxiao, you don't seem to know much about father. .”

"Have you heard of the Gu family in Beijing?"

Xiaoxiao shook her head honestly. As a girl who grew up in a farm, the original owner naturally didn't know anything, and she, um... the capital dungeon hasn't been updated yet.

Gu Changan sighed, and pulled his daughter over to sit down: "If you let your grandfather know that you only know Dean Lu, but not him, I'm afraid you will be kicked out of Bowen Academy."

Everyone knows that Dean Lu, who was proclaimed the number one scholar decades ago at the age of a weak crown, also knows that there were actually two people who were the number one scholar in the late emperor's favor that year. It was difficult to make a choice with the officials who were responsible for grading the papers at that time, and almost wanted to make a unique move of "double champion".

Among the two people who were equally favored, one was Dean Lu Chenlu, who was later conferred by the late Emperor as the dean of the Hanlin Academy, and who is now indifferent to fame and wealth, and came to this Academy in Xijiang County to be the dean.

The other person is the current prime minister, Gu Yuzhi, the head of the Gu family, Gu Changan's father and Xiaoxiao's grandfather.

Xiaoxiao asked curiously: "Then how did the name of the No. [-] Scholar come to be decided? Is it a lottery?"

Gu Changan tapped his daughter's head lightly: "How could it be such a joke." But after he finished speaking, he also laughed: "It's because of the face."

He coughed lightly: "Actually, to be able to get to the imperial court, the knowledge of the top three in the scientific examination is not too far behind. According to tradition, the title of number one scholar is awarded to those who are talented, but Tanhua is for good-looking people. Cough Cough, at that time your grandfather was a well-known handsome man in the capital, so..."

Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing loudly: "No wonder Dad and I are so good-looking, so we look like grandfather."

In the past, Gu Changan didn't like others to say that he was good-looking, so he made up nonsense about being "five big and three rough" when he was a child, but it seemed so cute when these words came out of his daughter's mouth.

Gu Chang'an looked at his daughter's big dark eyes, and couldn't help but slipped his mouth when there was a "secret": "Actually, it was your grandfather who offered to retire to visit the flowers at that time, because there were envoys from other countries visiting at that time, and the number one scholar asked for a visit." To entertain guests, he is too lazy to quarrel with those foreign bastards."

Xiaoxiao really wanted to applaud, did her grandfather have such a personality?
"The No. [-] scholar must be the most knowledgeable, and the Tanhua must be good-looking. Then, wouldn't the second place back then be very unremarkable?" It sounds a bit miserable.

That's not true, the faint brilliance of the second place back then was completely suppressed by the champion and Tanhua, and the common people did not hesitate to mention it after dinner.

Xiaoxiao asked curiously: "What happened to the second place?"

Gu Chang'an looked into the distance: "He is the right minister today, Yan Li said."

Oh, from the Yan family, Xiaoxiao asked: "Is the relationship between our family and the Yan family not very good?"

Gu Changan was surprised: "How do you know?"

Xiaoxiao acted inscrutable: "Guess."

Xiao Ran had heard Rong Yan mention many times that Xiao Xiao was very smart, and she also knew that Xiao Xiao was destined to be involved in court battles in the future, so she said to Xiao Xiao with a straight expression: "My dear daughter, when you meet Yan's family in the future, be more careful. As you said, the Yan family not only has the same relationship with your father's Gu family, but also has some gaps with our Xiao family."

After pondering for a moment, she said directly: "When your grandfathers were still alive, the Yan family tried to win them over, but your grandfather was upright and hated those power struggles the most, so he didn't accept the olive branch from the Yan family. "

At this time, Gu Changan, who was always good-tempered, snorted coldly: "They toads want to eat swan meat, so they propose marriage to the Xiao family."
