Hot Farmer’s Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm

"Pass the decree, block the city gate. Search Concubine Shu!" Immediately, he gritted his teeth.

Damn, escape?

Emperor Yan turned and looked at the imperial concubine and the others.

"Thorough investigation! Dig three feet into the ground, and find Concubine Shu for me!" said sternly.

"Yes!" The guards immediately took orders.

"Humph!" Emperor Yan flicked his sleeves and left.

When Emperor Yan was far away, the three concubines who were following behind the imperial concubine leaned beside the imperial concubine.

"Niangniang—" One by one, their faces were very frightened.

The imperial concubine smiled softly.

"Let's go." After saying that, he went back to his bedroom.

Huh, what are you mad at her for? ...

Inside the front hall.

The courtiers waited for a long time, but did not wait for Emperor Yan to return.

I just waited for Eunuch Da Hu to announce the call, saying that the emperor was unwell and had returned to the palace.

Everyone just dispersed, and come back in the afternoon.

Lin Xiaoyue and others were also able to return to the National Teacher's Mansion.

On the way back, the sixth princess jumped directly into Lin Xiaoyue's carriage.

Pulling Lin Xiaoyue to chatter, she kept talking.

Lin Xiaoyue was quite patient today and listened to everything from start to finish.

"Sir, wait for tomorrow, let's start compiling books tomorrow!" The sixth princess said excitedly.

"The game in the afternoon hasn't even started yet. Don't worry." Lin Xiaoyue replied.

In the second half of the game, what if Xu Yan and others also answered all the ten questions they asked correctly?

In this way, the next game has to be played.

Of course, she felt that the probability should not be high.

"Oh, with Mr. here, where are the Chu Jin people's opponents?! They are sure to lose!" Sixth Princess immediately said.

Looking at Lin Xiaoyue's eyes, it was all worship.

"By the way, sir. Do you really have a plan for the books provided to the academy?" The sixth princess suddenly asked Lin Xiaoyue.

Lin Xiaoyue glanced at the sixth princess and nodded when she saw that she had no intention of probing.

"Um."

Since she was given such an opportunity, she felt that it was just the right time to set off a reform in the field of arithmetic.

The first is to popularize symbols such as Arabic numerals, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and then use the 21st century elementary school textbooks as a template to deepen and advance step by step.

If this is done well, it will really benefit the country and the people, and have a far-reaching impact.

And her reputation will never be shaken in the future.

The sixth princess' eyes were filled with joy again.

"That's great, then we'll all follow Mr.'s orders. If Mr. has any task, just assign it to us!" He said quickly.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled.

"I won't be polite."

Finally arrived at the National Teacher's House.

After going down, Lin Xiaoyue saw Li Xiao.

A hanging heart fell to the ground.

Immediately, ignoring the sixth princess, Lin Xiaoyue took Li Xiao back to the plum garden.

Back in the house, as soon as the door closed, Lin Xiaoyue rushed over and threw herself into Li Xiao's arms.

Smelling the reassuring smell on the man, Lin Xiaoyue was reluctant to let go.

From the decree from the Duke of Hu, saying that Emperor Yan was unwell and returned to the palace.

She knew that Concubine Shu's departure from the palace had already been exposed.

After that, her heart hung high. I was afraid that Li Xiao would have an accident.

On the way back, in order not to show any clues, she had to deal with the sixth princess, and she was a little tired.

Li Xiao moved, wanting to bow his head to comfort his daughter-in-law.

However, he found himself being held tightly, and his daughter-in-law wouldn't let him move at all.

Helpless, Li Xiao could only maintain his posture.

"I'm fine. Sister is fine too. At this time, people should have already left the city." Li Xiao lowered his voice.

This time, he worried his daughter-in-law again.

"Yeah." Lin Xiaoyue replied dully.

But he still didn't let go of Li Xiao.

Li Xiao didn't move, and let his daughter-in-law hold him.

I don't know how long it took before Lin Xiaoyue finally hugged enough and let go of her man.

It was also at this time that Li Xiaocai noticed that the corners of Lin Xiaoyue's eyes were a little wet.

Feeling pain in his heart, Li Xiao stretched out his hand, trying to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes for his daughter-in-law.

But as soon as he stretched out his hand, Lin Xiaoyue turned his head to avoid it.

Immediately, a smile appeared on Lin Xiaoyue's face.

He took Li Xiao's hand and walked towards the inner room.

The couple then chatted about what they had done in the morning.

"Now that the emperor has ordered the city to be sealed, can you and the prince leave tomorrow?" After learning about the situation, Lin Xiaoyue asked Li Xiao worriedly.

Li Xiao nodded.

"can."

"The Chu Jin messenger is still there, and the emperor will have some scruples. In order to avoid misunderstandings caused by Chu Jin, the city should be released soon."

"Besides, the prince has already mentioned the matter of leaving the capital to the emperor in advance. It's not a big problem to leave tomorrow."

Lin Xiaoyue's face was slightly calm.

"That's good. Then take care of my sister along the way."

"Um!"

Li Xiao stretched out his hand and let Lin Xiaoyue lean on his shoulder.

afternoon.

Lin Xiaoyue and others set off from the National Teacher's House again to participate in the competition.

Because the second half of the game was already prepared, everyone was much calmer.

When they got there, they didn't wait in the side hall this time, and everyone was directly led by Eunuch Hu into the main hall.

After seeing Emperor Yan, everyone took a seat.

At this time, Emperor Yan did not have the smiling face he had in the morning, but instead had a serious look on his face.

Lin Xiaoyue naturally had guesses in her heart and did not pay too much attention.

Not long after Lin Xiaoyue and others were seated, the envoy from Chu Jin arrived.

Lin Xiaoyue saw that Xu Yan's complexion was much better than when he left in the morning. But no longer the same look when we first met.

It seemed that her blow to this man in the morning was really not small.

Everyone has arrived, and soon the game will start.

Lin Xiaoyue took Liang Chengcai and Mo Fei to show the topic prepared by Dayan to Xu Yan and others.

Compared to the nervousness of the Chu Jin messengers, this time Dayan's ministers looked calm.

Similar to the order in which the questions were presented before Chu and Jin, the order in which Dayan presented the questions also followed the principle from easy to difficult.

Lin Xiaoyue found that Xu Yan's attainments in arithmetic were indeed not low.

Including the three questions selected in the sea of ​​questions, Xu Yan actually broke five of her questions in a row.

Even breaking the five questions brought some hope to the envoys of Chu and Jin.

The two princes of Chu and Jin stared closely at Xu Yan, hoping that he could keep his state and move forward.

On Dayan's side, Emperor Yan and his ministers lost their indifference.

Someone was already frowning.

On the other hand, Lin Xiaoyue even had a smile on her face.

"The last five questions are more difficult. Mr. Xu, please—" Lin Xiaoyue said.

When she had five questions in the first half of the game, she remembered that the other party also reminded her.

Let her jump to the question in time when she finds a question she can't solve.

She originally wanted to remind her, but after thinking about it, she changed her statement.

After all, she has already won ten questions, and there is no room for people to skip questions.

As long as Xu Yan can't answer one of the questions, he doesn't need to answer the rest. Lost anyway.

Xu Yan glanced at Lin Xiaoyue, cupped her hands at Lin Xiaoyue, and said nothing.

Only those who stood close to him could realize that there were beads of sweat on his forehead at this moment.

Only he himself knew that except for the first three questions, the fourth and fifth questions he just answered were extremely dangerous, and he almost failed to solve them.

Next, he had to face five more difficult questions, and he really had no confidence that he could solve them all.

At noon, the two princes of Chu and Jin came to him, but he did not see him.

I just don't want them to affect my game in the second half.

But at the moment...his mentality still hasn't stabilized...

Soon the sixth question came up.

Xu Yan quickly read the question.

After reading it this time, I haven't been able to write.

And Xu Qing and Meng Lin, who were standing behind Xu Yan, were also frowning and grimacing. They couldn't do anything except stare at the question.

Minutes passed by...

Finally, Xu Yan, who was sweating profusely, moved.

But instead of writing to answer the question, he took a step back in despair.

Then, stiffened, he bowed to Lin Xiaoyue.

"This question, old man - has no solution."

"Also ask Mrs. Li to enlighten me."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the two princes of Chu and Jin changed greatly.

One of the princes was so angry that he threw away the wine glass in his hand.

Then, the two glared at Xu Yan.

He got up, left everyone behind like this, and left.

Xu Qing's face was pale, and she wanted to let the two princes stay.

But he didn't dare to speak.

Looking at his master, who was still bowing to his side, and kept salute to Lin Xiaoyue, his heart was full of despair.

Seeing Xu Yan like this, Lin Xiaoyue was a little surprised.

Immediately, he gave the answer and the solution to the problem generously.

After listening to Xu Yan, he suddenly realized.

He salutes Lin Xiaoyue again and is convinced.

At the end of the sixth question, the math competition between Yan Guo and Chu Jin has already been decided.

Coupled with the fact that the two princes of Chu and Jin had already left, Lin Xiaoyue thought that there was no need to continue the following games.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yan asked Lin Xiaoyue to continue with the following topics.

Seeing Xu Yan's attitude, Lin Xiaoyue somewhat appreciated it and cooperated.

As a result, Xu Yan only solved one of the remaining four questions.

As for the problems that he couldn't solve, Xu Yan still asked Lin Xiaoyue humbly for advice.

And after learning the answer, every time I have a sense of enlightenment.

Especially for the last question.

Seeing that Yan Guo's question was also a nine-square question, and it was more difficult than the question left by his teacher, Xu Yan felt his insignificance again.

"Today, the old man has been taught!" After receiving the answer to the last question, Xu Yan sighed and bowed to Lin Xiaoyue again.

"Xu Lao's words are serious."

"Xu Lao's bearing is admired by the younger generation." Lin Xiaoyue also politely said.

This person is really good at and obsessed with arithmetic.

Otherwise, in the case of knowing that you have lost, there is no need to continue to answer the question.

The more you answer, the more you can't answer.

It will only embarrass him and lose more of his reputation.

Xu Yan glanced at Lin Xiaoyue, and finally a smile appeared on her face.

Immediately, he glanced at Liu Wuji again.

Then he bowed to Emperor Yan.

"Your Majesty has this talent. The blessing of Dayan." He said.

Before waiting for Emperor Yan to reply, Xu Yan said again: "This time, the old man is convinced that he has lost."

"Since Dayan wins, Chu Jin will reduce the terms of the previous peace by 30% as agreed."

As soon as these words came out, the hall immediately filled with joy.

Even Emperor Yan, who hadn't laughed much in the afternoon, finally raised a smile.

"Mr. Xu has worked hard, please take a seat and speak." Emperor Yan said.

Xu Yan refused.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, you don't need to take a seat."

"The old man is unwell, so I will retire. Tomorrow, I will re-enter the palace and sign a new letter of credentials with your country's envoys."

Emperor Yan did not hold back, and ordered someone to send Xu Yan and others.

Lin Xiaoyue saw the old man stand upright and walk out of the palace step by step.

After Xu Yan left, there was an uproar in the hall.

It was the congratulatory voice of the courtiers of Dayan.

As in the morning, many people congratulated Lin Xiaoyue and toasted her.

Lin Xiaoyue responded with a smile, but for some reason, the back of Xu Yan who left just now kept echoing in her mind.

In the evening, Lin Xiaoyue, as the biggest contributor to the Three Kingdoms peace talks, was left behind and attended the banquet in the palace.

Moreover, under the persuasion of the sixth princess, he accidentally drank too much.

Back at the National Teacher's Mansion, Zhao Shanshan helped him back to Meiyuan.

As soon as she lay in bed, Lin Xiaoyue woke up.

Li Xiao went to King Anyang's place, and she had to sleep alone tonight.

Moreover, it will be a long time before I can see him.

the next day.

When Lin Xiaoyue woke up, it was already three poles in the sun.

When she woke up and found that the time was wrong, Lin Xiaoyue hurriedly called someone out.

Zhao Shanshan hurriedly ran into the inner room.

"Here, miss!" She hurriedly went to Fu Lin Xiaoyue.

Seeing Zhao Shanshan, Lin Xiaoyue regained her senses.

After checking the time in his space ring, he let himself go and leaned on Zhao Shanshan's shoulder.

"The city gate, is it open?" Then, he asked.

At this hour, if everything goes well, Li Xiao has already left the city with King Anyang.

"Open." Zhao Shanshan replied.

I know why my lady is abnormal.

"Well. That's good..." Lin Xiaoyue replied. Heart at ease.

She had some bad dreams last night, and she was worried that something would happen.

Make sure they're all right now, that's all.

After a while, Lin Xiaoyue got up from Zhao Shanshan's shoulder.

"I'm hungry..." Then, she looked at Zhao Shanshan with a pitiful expression.

"Pfft—" With a sound, Zhao Shanshan was amused.

"I know you're up for something to eat, and the food is warm on the kitchen stove."

"You get up first, and I'll ask Fan Teng to fetch the food."

Before the uncle leaves, you can tell me again and again to take good care of the young lady.

She and Fan Teng are paying attention now.

"Well." Lin Xiaoyue just got out of bed.

Zhao Shanshan goes out to find Fan Teng.

After a while, he gave the order to Fan Teng in the yard and came back.

Help Lin Xiaoyue wash up.

After a while, Lin Xiaoyue was groomed and had a hot meal.

With something in the stomach, people feel a lot more comfortable.

Only then did Lin Xiaoyue ask about the situation of the others.

"Last night, except for the National Teacher, you were all very drunk."

"This morning, it's the normal breakfast at Zhuyuan." Zhao Shanshan smiled.

A smile appeared on Lin Xiaoyue's face.

It's not like she's in bed alone.

"Master Guo Shi said that you all worked hard yesterday, young lady. Today is a holiday, and let the people not disturb you."

"Yeah. Master Guo Shi is right." Lin Xiaoyue nodded as if he had something to do with it.

Seeing that Zhao Shanshan was even happier.

Lin Xiaoyue glanced at Zhao Shanshan, didn't care about being laughed at, and muttered, "What are you doing on vacation?"

Zhao Shanshan just wanted to answer, but unexpectedly, there was a knock at the door.

"Sir—" Immediately, the voice of the sixth princess also sounded at the door.
