Chapter 374 Things turn out differently
At noon, Xu Huaiyi wanted to leave Li Yunting to eat. It was a meal for just two people, and the atmosphere was more relaxed and comfortable.

After sending him away, the heartless smile on Xu Huaiyi's face disappeared. He put his hands behind his back, frowned and thought about something, and went to the study.

Gu Huanxi was lying on the soft couch in the study room reading a book. Seeing his drooping eyebrows, she asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Xu Huaiyi sat down on the soft couch, and while squeezing her legs, he said, "I found out that it is really Li Yuan. He wants to bribe Meng Ping and monitor my every move in the academy."

Meng Ping comes from a poor family and is easiest to impress with money and goods.

Gu Huanxi saw that his expression was wrong and asked, "Didn't you expect it earlier? Are you very afraid of him?"

Xu Huaiyi smiled bitterly, "A little bit. If I really want to deal with Li Yuan, there are many ways. Even if it doesn't work, I can get rid of him, but the Changlehou Mansion behind him is not that easy to deal with."

Gu Huanxi muttered, "Years ago, you chose the Changlehou Mansion to attack and brought about thunder and punishment from the sky, forcing the Changlehou Mansion to step up and take the lead. Only then did you have the follow-up fund-raising for disaster relief. From then on, Judging from the response of the Changlehou Mansion, the head of the family must not be a fool. It is really unwise for us to be enemies with them now. What's more, it also involves the eldest prince. One will be prosperous and one will suffer. So, do you really want to fight with Li The wall is facing each other, which means that we are also on the opposite side of the Changlehou Mansion and the eldest prince..."

Xu Huaiyi didn't know that he could ignore Li Yuan and the Changlehou Mansion, but he couldn't fall out with the eldest prince. He was Xiaoyu's biological father. Even if it wasn't family ties, he couldn't do it for the sake of profit.

"That's why I'm confused and worried. I'm afraid that because we have changed too much, even the eldest prince's original throne will be lost. That's fucked up. We can't do that stupid thing of beating a mouse and hurting Yu Ping'er. ”

"According to what you said, it is not appropriate to be an enemy of the Changlehou Mansion for the time being, and nothing can happen to the Changlehou Mansion. They are the greatest help for the eldest prince to ascend to the throne. Even if they are missed, they cannot be just a mere commander."

Xu Huaiyi sighed, "But now, we don't cause trouble, and people don't like us. It's okay if we just find someone to monitor me, but I'm afraid there will be other consequences. I can't just be beaten passively."

Gu Huanxi said without hesitation, "That's definitely not possible. Even if the eldest prince's throne is changed, you can't be bullied."

Xu Huaiyi was immediately moved and rushed over, hugging his wife in all kinds of sticky ways.

In the end, the couple decided to wait and see what happens, and if Li Yuan had any other options, they would think of ways to get rid of him.

The Lantern Festival soon came. On this day, Xu Huaiyi distributed Lantern Festivals to all the workers in the workshops and Zhuangzi as a festival benefit. In the evening, he took his wife, daughter and children to the city to watch the lanterns.

The whole street is brightly lit, which is really spectacular. However, it is crowded with people and is very unsafe. At this time, accidents are most likely to happen, especially for children.

Gu Huanxi held his daughter in his arms and never left her hand for a moment, while Xu Huaiyi held Gu Xiaoyu around his neck. In addition, he brought several nurses including Wei Liang and Baopu Shouzhuo to protect their family of four tightly, without leaking.

The two children were the most excited. Needless to say, A Li, two big eyes were not enough. They looked at this rare thing and liked that one. Less than half of the shopping, Xu Huaiyi, a doting girl, was already buying without any principles. There were several large bags of things, and the poor two half-year-old boys holding Pu Shuzhuo were covered with jingling gadgets and carrying various snacks in their hands. They looked really funny.

After playing until half past midnight, the couple took their children back. Since they couldn't go out of the city, they planned to sleep in the new house for one night. On the way, A Li fell asleep, and Gu Xiaoyu couldn't sit still, and quietly hit him several times. Yawned back.

Xu Huaiyi looked amused and put the person in his arms, "Why are you holding on so hard? Just sleep when you feel sleepy. With dad here, can you ask someone to abduct you?"

"father……"

"Okay, just close your eyes and sleep peacefully. When you get home, dad will carry you into the house."

Gu Xiaoyu closed her eyes this time, leaned in his arms, and fell asleep almost instantly.

The next day, Xu Huaiyi heard that several children were lost last night. As for other reports of pickpockets stealing things, they were all trivial matters in comparison.

Ever since she became a mother, Gu Huanxi couldn't bear to hear this kind of news. "Human traffickers really deserve to be struck by lightning and suffer the pain of Ling Chi."

Xu Huaiyi said, "I heard that some of the abducted children had extraordinary family backgrounds, so the Jingzhao Mansion and the Wucheng Army and Horses Division were under great pressure. Even the imperial guards were sent to look for them. I don’t know when I can get it back, alas..."

Gu Huanxi felt very heavy after hearing this. There was not much chance of getting this kind of thing back.

Who would have thought that in the afternoon, things would take a turn for the better. All the abducted children were recovered. Fortunately, apart from being a little frightened, they were not abused.

This was supposed to be a good thing, but Xu Huaiyi went out for a walk, and when he returned to the new house, his face didn't look good.

Seeing this, Gu Huanxi asked Gu Xiaoyu to take A Li to play in the garden. There were only two people left in the house. She asked, "What's wrong? What happened again?"

Xu Huaiyi said, "All the abducted children were found. Not only were they successfully rescued, but they were all unscathed, and the group of traffickers were also wiped out..."

Gu Huanxi said excitedly, "Really? That's great, God bless you!"

Xu Huaiyi smiled bitterly, "It's not God's fault, it's the Anping County Lord's divination ability that has shown its power again."

After hearing this, Gu Huanxi calmed down, frowned and said, "It seems that it happened in the previous life, and Meng Yao knew where the traffickers were. So, this matter caused quite a stir in the previous life, otherwise, she would have been in the house after a while. Woman, how can I know about the traffickers?”

Xu Huaiyi said, "Among those children, there are the grandson of the elder, the youngest son of the minister of the Ministry of War, and the young daughter of the imperial family. None of these people are ordinary people. If they lose their children, they will definitely make a big fuss. It’s normal to go looking for them and make a fuss. I even suspect that in the previous life, those lost children might have had a bad ending..."

Gu Huanxi understood immediately, "So, Meng Yao did a great good deed and changed the fate of those children, even though he had ulterior motives."

Xu Huaiyi said in a complicated tone, "Yes, it is indeed a good deed. But in this way, it adds a lot of chips to her. Both the emperor and the people trust her abilities more, and those who benefited also I will owe her a favor, and I will have to do something for her in the future. It would be better if she always does good, but it would be terrible if she uses this ability to do evil. "

Gu Huanxi thought for a while and suddenly asked, "Who did she give the credit for saving the child?"

Xu Huaiyi was startled for a moment, "I heard that Yin Qiaohong of Jingzhao Mansion personally led the people there."

"Isn't Qiao Hong's daughter getting married today?"

"Yes, marrying Yao Yuanyuan... Good guy, the character Qiao Hong has set for himself is really dedicated. In the future, his position as the governor of Jingzhao will be more secure."

"Whose person is he?"

"King Chu..."

Gu Huan was happy to see that he had reacted, and stopped reminding him. He picked up the cup and slowly tasted the tea.

After a moment, Xu Huaiyi sighed, "It seems that the eldest prince's throne will not last for a few years. From this point of view, King Chu will rebel later, and Meng Yao is hedging his bets. No matter who becomes the emperor, the Meng family will If we can benefit, even if we save the eldest prince in the future and prevent the King of Chu from succeeding, the Meng family is also a relative, and even if Concubine Meng gives birth to a son, there will still be a chance to aspire to the throne in the future. No matter what, the Meng family will not suffer. ah."

Gu Huan said happily, "She has double insurance."

As everyone knows, Meng Yao actually laid out triple insurance, but at the moment, the couple doesn't know it yet.

In the evening, the Yao family entertained guests at a banquet. Since it was a filial piety wedding, the ceremony was hasty and low-key. Only those with whom they were relatively close were invited. There were only seven or eight tables, which inevitably looked shabby and deserted. And because he married a man with poor appearance, many people secretly poked at Yao Changyuan and laughed at her behind his back.

But with an imperial edict, these no longer exist.

Yao Changyuan was selected into the Imperial Guard, and he was still the most prestigious of the Yulin Guards. Those who could join the Yulin Guards were mostly the children of powerful officials, with a clean and reliable family background, and good martial arts skills. They often walked in front of the imperial guard and showed their faces. There are many opportunities, and correspondingly there are many opportunities to get ahead. It is one of the departments that students from the martial arts academy most want to go to.

Who wouldn't like leisure, face, and a future?
Moreover, Yao Changyuan no longer has to go through all the trouble of participating in martial arts examinations, and can directly become an official. Who wouldn't envy him?

Especially the students from the martial arts academy. They are still studying hard to practice martial arts. After several years of hard work, they may not be able to pass the martial arts exam. But as for Yao Changyuan, he has a good future without having to pay anything.

Just because I have a good father-in-law.

Yes, everyone can see it clearly. Because Qiao Hong handled the kidnapping case neatly and swiftly, the emperor could not promote him to another official position, so he gave this benefit to his son-in-law.

The next day, when the new semester began, Xu Huaiyi arrived at the college. The most common voices he heard were those about Yao Changyuan. Those who were envious, made sarcastic remarks, and were angry. He ignored them and just focused on doing his own business.

The business partnership with the Su family slowly spread. Su Jian's work efficiency was faster than that of Su Zhe. After all, he was the head of the family and had many people at his disposal. After learning how to renovate bathrooms and toilets from Xu Huaiyi's people, , and mass-produce corresponding accessories.

The Second Prince's Mansion was the first to use it, and he deeply realized the various conveniences and benefits of this transformation. It spread the word to ten, and the dignitaries in the capital were all interested, and they went to place deposits one after another, for fear of delaying others. step.

Xu Huaiyi personally led people to renovate the Sun family. It took three days to clear out the courtyard where Sun Shangshu and Sun Yu lived.

Sun Yu was very happy and turned around and gave his apprentice a good sword. It was said that it was used by a famous general in the previous dynasty.

Sun Shangshu sent two people to help Xu Huaiyi organize the Chamber of Commerce. He read the plan written by Xu Huaiyi and left it to him without any modifications.

Xu Huaiyi's main occupation is still studying martial arts, doing business, and running business associations. He takes advantage of his spare time to deal with it. He is so busy that neither the Yao family nor Li Yuan can take care of it for the time being.

It wasn't until the first month came when things gradually got back on track that he took a breath. At this time, the large troops who went to Dengzhou to relieve the disaster and quell the rebellion finally returned to Beijing.

Previously, due to several heavy snowfalls in the north, the roads were difficult to travel and we were all trapped there.

When the large army came back, many people came to watch. Xu Huaiyi also had a rest that day, but he did not join in the fun. Instead, he stayed in the village to help Dr. Jiao.

All the prominent people in the village came, and Gu Huanxi arranged three tables before he could sit down.

At the banquet, everyone gathered around Dr. Jiao and asked questions. They were curious about Dengzhou and concerned about the post-disaster reconstruction situation in Qingzhou. They couldn't help but blush after hearing the tragic situation of ten houses and nine empty houses there. Eye sockets.

Many people still dream of falling leaves returning to their roots, but now, their dreams have been shattered.

There is also good news, because the epidemic can be controlled quickly, all because of the prescription given by Gu Huanxi. Now that the people from the Imperial Hospital have returned to Beijing to report on their work, the emperor will definitely ask for rewards based on their merits. Gu Huanxi’s contribution is not insignificant, so the rewards will naturally be given. It won't be easy, and it is very likely that he will be banned.

After hearing this, the villagers were shocked. They thought it was Dr. Jiao who cured the victims in the epidemic area, but it turned out that it was Gu Huanxi who gave the prescription?

This is really...

Why is Xu Huaiyi so lucky? Being a son-in-law is a shameless thing, but if his daughter-in-law is like Gu Huanxi, they are willing to do it. They already have their royalties, so how can they lose face?

Village Chief Xu was very excited. He held Xu Huaiyi's hand and drank several glasses of wine.

Xu Maoshan was also happy, but this happiness was also mixed with some unspeakable regret and depression.

Village Chief Hu was the most excited. He looked at Xu Huaiyi as if he were looking at a treasure. The higher the couple stood, the better their life would be, and the more his Hu family would benefit from it. Therefore, he wholeheartedly looked forward to their success and was not jealous at all. .

After the banquet, many people were drunk. Xu Huaiyi also drank a lot of wine and could not walk steadily. After sending everyone away, he went back to the house and lay down.

I slept until dark and had two bowls of porridge for dinner. I wanted to go out for a walk, but Doctor Jiao came again.

Xu Huaiyi welcomed him into the study, handed him some tea, and asked curiously, "Is there anything else that I can't talk about beforehand?"

Dr. Jiao nodded, "There is something that happened. There are many people at the table. I am afraid that I will embarrass you if I tell you."

"What's going on?"

"On my way back to Beijing, I met your third uncle and his family."

Xu Huaiyi asked in surprise, "My third uncle? Where did we meet? Didn't they leave at the beginning?"

Doctor Jiao said, "In Changjin County, they really didn't plan to leave originally, but then they saw that the situation was getting worse and worse, so they set out on the road. If not for some accidents, they should have arrived in the capital around the same time as your father and the others."

"What happened?"

"They were robbed by bandits. Your cousin was seriously injured and didn't make it through. Your third aunt couldn't bear the pain of losing her son, so she followed him there soon after. Your third uncle became seriously ill because of this, so the family stayed here temporarily. Rest in Changjin County.”

Xu Huaiyi sighed, "What about now?"

Doctor Jiao said, "Your third uncle has recovered somewhat, but his energy and energy are still a little weak. Your little nephew has injured his body and bones and is a little weak. I happened to meet them and helped prescribe some medicine..."

"Then why didn't they come to the capital with you?"

"They are old, young, and sick. They really can't keep up, so they are left behind, but..."

Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Xu Huaiyi smiled and said, "Is there anything else you don't want to say to me? Just say it."

Doctor Jiao cleared his throat and said, "I told you that we live in Hutian Village. They will defect to us soon."

Hearing this, Xu Huaiyi said, "It should be."

"Aren't you afraid of another trouble?"

"It's useless to be afraid. Besides, my third uncle is much smarter and more knowledgeable than my biological father."
