MTL - Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World-Chapter 597 palace banquet
Gu Jingyun bowed and gave Qin Xinfang a salute, and then walked to his seat and sat cross-legged on his seat.
Because he was named Taifu, this time his seat was placed under Qin Xinfang.
This year's position has changed a lot. Many new faces appeared at the palace banquet. Qin Xinfang looked at the corner of his mouth and raised his mouth slightly. According to the current development speed, after the next spring season, he can go to work and concentrate on taking care of the children at home.
Niuniu seems to have entered the rebellious period early. She has been very disobedient recently. Fortunately, the situation is not very serious, but this rebellious period is unknown for how long. What if she is as rebellious as Qinghe for more than ten years?
Girls don't have such a long growth period, so he has to focus more on his daughters.
In the affairs of state affairs, if you can decentralize the power, you should cultivate more descendants.
Qin Xinfang thought, turned his head and glanced at his nephew, and sighed slightly in his heart, if Qinghe entered the dynasty, it would be easier for him to serve.
Niuniu looked around and saw that the seat beside her cousin was vacant, she broke free from her mother's hand and sat directly beside him, ignoring her parents' staring at her, "Cousin, can I sit here with you?"
Gu Jingyun glanced at her and said, "Take a step back."
Niuniu pouted, but still obediently moved the seat back and knelt down behind Gu Jingyun, "Sister-in-law should come, so I can sit with her."
Gu Jingyun poured himself a cup of tea and said indifferently, "She wants to bring An An."
"An An is so good, she can enter the palace. She entered last year. Now she is older, why can't she enter?" unhappy.
As her eyes wandered, she saw the foreign envoys entering the venue one after another, her eyes widened for a while, she looked at the person opposite her without blinking, her little hand couldn't help tugging at Gu Jingyun's sleeve, and lowered her voice in surprise said: "Cousin, cousin, look, look at the people opposite, their hair is yellow, God, their eyes are blue..."
Gu Jingyun said helplessly: "Didn't you see it before?"
"But there are not so many, and they are all so beautiful, and their clothes are also very special..." Niuniu looked at her with unblinking eyes, curious.
In the past two decades, due to the weakening of the national power of Great Chu and the instability of the border, the Silk Road on the road has long been cut off, and few merchants from the Western Regions have come by land.
Most of the foreign trade of Da Chu is by sea, so there are many imported goods from coastal areas such as Guangzhou, and these foreigners can be seen more often.
The capital is inland, and merchants from the western regions who landed on the coast rarely come here, but there are some. A few years ago, Bai Yitang took Niuniu out to play every day when he was pursuing Qin Wenyin. , but most of them wore the clothes of the Great Chu, unlike the guests who came today, they all wore national clothes, and they didn't look at people, just looking at the clothes, they were full of exotic customs.
Even Gu Jingyun couldn't help but glance at her curiously, not to mention the child Niuniu?
Gu Jingyun put down the teacup and warned in a low voice, "Pay attention to your etiquette."
Niuniu's gaze on the opposite side narrowed a lot, and she only looked at the opposite side quietly.
Many envoys came to the banquet, from the Lei Dynasty and Siam to the south, and from the north to Yilibali and the Tatars, and even Vassar, who was fighting with the Tatars, sent people.
North Korea and Japan to the east also sent envoys, as well as envoys from the small countries in the Western Regions, who directly occupied a part of the hall.
Except for the envoys from the Western Regions, the envoys from other countries came here with political purposes, while commercial and cultural purposes were all behind.
If the emperors and courtiers of Great Chu were not well aware of their country's current national strength, or they would suddenly see so many foreign envoys who came to congratulate them, they would definitely think that they could become the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire like the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Li An faced so many foreign envoys to the DPRK with mixed joy and sorrow. Worrying that their Great Chu is not strong enough now, these envoys are also very confident, and Great Chu's advantage is not great when negotiating.
If they join forces to dig a hole for Da Chu, Da Chu may not be able to jump over without falling.
I am happy that there are opportunities when there are crises. The arrival of these people is a new development opportunity for Da Chu. Now, although the national strength of Da Chu is not as good as before, it can barely be regarded as a family and a career. If the internal contradictions can be transferred to the outside, That domestic development will certainly be more harmonious.
Gu Jingyun is very happy to see it happen, because their Yunlu Academy will start school after the spring, and the academy will train a large number of craftsmen. They need a lot of jobs. It is important to open up the domestic market, but it is also possible to open foreign trade channels. important.
Especially for people from the Western Regions who came with a business attitude, as well as Tatars and Yilibali who bordered the Great Chu and had high spending power. He believes that as long as there are enough economic interests, the official and private resistance to Yunlu Academy will ease, and even turn to support them.
Although the college now recruits all female students, and Baolu is the only one in charge, in fact, the husband and wife are at the helm. Baolu has put forward a lot of ideas, all of which are novel, but the things that need to be prepared when they really want to do it are not. few.
For example, the students who enter the school can't pay for their studies, and they need to work part-time. Which materials can be provided by the academy and which need to be paid by the students themselves? How is the price of the work set, and where to work? After graduation, they have to work for the academy for at least two years. Years to repay the cost of studying in the academy, and how to do it, these have to be determined one by one.
At the same time, they also had to find a good business partner. Baolu couldn't do the complicated things alone. She wanted to do it herself, but Gu Jingyun was afraid that she would die of exhaustion, so she helped out.
So he knows the future development path of Yunlu Academy best, and the people sitting opposite are all possible future partners.
For his partner, Gu Jingyun considered himself to be polite and generous, so the person on the opposite side raised his glass to him, and he saluted it after a little thought.
This made many courtiers in the hall widen their eyes. Is this still the cold and arrogant Gu Zhuangyuan?
Wen Dun put down the wine glass, lowered his eyes with a smile on his lips, and said inaudibly, "Gu Qinghe is a little more popular."
Qimuge sat beside him, looked up at the opposite side after hearing this, and replied in a low voice, "He has a daughter who will be two years old in February."
If you have a wife and a daughter, the fireworks on your body will naturally be heavier.
Wen Dun nodded slightly, "You still insist on staying in Da Chu?"
Qi Mu Ge straightened his body, raised his eyes slightly to look at him, "Cousin, Mr. Gu and Mr. Li founded an academy to teach women all kinds of crafts, including planting, breeding, weaving and woodworking, all of which are It is what is most lacking on the grasslands."
"Can you learn?"
"No, but I can ask Mr. Li to let us Tatars also enroll."
Wen Dun finally sat up straight, he solemnly turned his head to look at Qi Mu Ge, and asked softly, "How sure are you?"
"Sixty percent," Qi Muge said confidently: "Cousin, Mr. Li is a very generous person. I believe that as long as I continue to work hard, the possibility will increase."
Winton thoughtfully, "What if we included this request as part of the conversation between the two countries?"
"The courtiers of Great Chu would not agree. Instead, Yunlu Academy attracted attention and hindered its development."
"But the development of Yunlu Academy will play a greater role in the Great Chu, and our Tartars will fall further behind."
"Cousin, our purpose is not war," Qi Muge said sternly: "Our purpose is to develop, to make the subjects on the grasslands better, no longer suffer from poverty, and reduce their dependence on the Great Chu, isn't it? ?"
Wen Dun looked down at her and said softly, "It seems that Da Chu's education is still very useful..."
Qimu Ge lowered his head meekly.
Wen Dun slid the wrench on his thumb, and nodded after a while: "I will tell the Khan, there are many princesses in the royal court, and you can marry one less, but I am willing to give you time, but the royal court does not. It's going to be a long wait, so you have to get your grades out as soon as possible."
"Also," Wen Dun paused, glanced at Na Ren who was sitting and chatting with the noble lady of Chu, "Na Ren has to go back to the grassland with me. She is not young and should be married."
"Cousin can talk to Naren himself."
Wen Dun nodded, as long as Qi Mu Ge did not block her, taking Na Ren would be much smoother.
His eyes swept over the envoy next to him, and the corner of his mouth raised slightly: "Are you still so loving with your Mr. Li?"
Qiguge raised his head suspiciously, "Only more or less."
The smile on the corner of Wen Dun's mouth became wider, "Then there will be a good show tonight."
Qimuge was a little uneasy, but when she saw the cold person across from her, she felt at ease again. Mr. Gu was extremely elegant, and it was not that no one had ever moved his mind, but he only had Mr. Li in his heart.
In the palace, who can design Gu Jingyun?
If he is consistent, it will be in vain for others to have the means and thoughts. This kind of thing mainly depends on the man.
Qimuge calmed down and planned to go to Gu's house to pay New Year's greetings to Li Baolu in the third year of junior high, and then mentioned her going to Yunlu College to teach.
A wave of singing and dancing passed, and the people in the field began to toast each other, and some people who knew each other sat directly together.
Peng Dan held up the wine glass and toasted Qin Xinfang from a distance. Qin Xinfang raised the wine glass and was about to return the toast glass. Gu Jingyun cut it off, "Peng Shoufu, my uncle is pulling a needle recently, so I don't drink alcohol. This cup is drank by Qinghe, so don't blame me."
Peng Dan smiled, "Jun De has such a filial nephew, I'm too happy to be happy, how can I blame him?"
He raised his head to drink a cup, looked at Qin Xinfang and asked with concern, "But I'm not feeling well, why do I need to pull out the needle?"
Qin Xinfang said with a smile, "It's an old problem. It's been raining and snowing a lot recently, so my body is a little heavy. My family is worried, so I asked Imperial Doctor Liu to come to the house for acupuncture. Recently, I have to avoid alcohol."
Peng Dan nodded and sighed: "I still have to pay attention, I will be quite young when I am old."
Qin Xinfang nodded with a smile and glanced at Niuniu next to Gu Jingyun, "Isn't it true, you are okay, there are many children and grandchildren, but my daughter is still young."
Niu Niu was nibbling on some snacks, she raised her head in confusion when she heard the words, just as she was about to speak, a shadow covered her, and then a voice that bit her tongue exploded in her ear, "This is Mrs. Gu? ."
Fuso?
Niuniu's eyes lit up and she looked up at the visitor.
