As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

"There are so many names? Auntie, you know so much, much more than my father!"

Xie Changyu followed the sound and saw Xie Huan squatting on the edge of the field, holding an unknown grain in his hand, chatting happily with a woman.

The woman was wearing light blue clothes, and because she was blocked by Xie Huan, she could not see clearly her appearance, but her voice was very gentle.

"I often come to this manor and fields, and over time I naturally understand a little bit, but it doesn't mean I know a lot."

"The farmers in this manor also know many new things that I don't know."

"As for your dad, you are so smart and well-behaved. I believe your dad will be a very capable man. He will also know many things that others do not."

Xie Huan has always been very proud of his father. Hearing the woman speak like this, he smiled proudly and said: "Of course, my father is a general, a very powerful one!"

"He knows a lot of weapons, he can shoot arrows at a hundred steps, and he is also very good at riding horses. He can also train horses."

"The soldiers listened to him, and so did my uncles."

"He is the best!"

The woman smiled softly and said, "Lieutenant generals in the army protect our country and deserve respect from everyone."

Her tone was soft, but her words were filled with admiration from the bottom of her heart.

Not only Xie Huan, but also Xie Changyu and Lei Jun who were standing not far away felt it very clearly.

Xie Changyu's eyebrows twitched: "Her voice sounds a bit familiar."

"is it?"

Lei Jun hesitated a little, but he couldn't quite hear it.

But the prince's ear has always been sharp, so if he said it was familiar, he must have heard it before.

who is it?

At this moment, Xie Huan asked: "Aunt, are you the owner of these fields? I heard them calling you Miss."

"This is the field of my manor." The woman said warmly, "My surname is Qiu."

Then, Xie Huan started chatting with Miss Qiu.

Miss Qiu is a very patient person, and she actually got along very well with Xie Huan.

Under the big tree not far away, Xie Changyu identified the Qiu girl with the familiar voice in his head: "The eldest lady of the Qiu family, Qiu Huixian."

Lei Jun said "Ah".

"Yes, the area around here is indeed the property of the Qiu family. The prince is really sharp. I didn't even react for a long time!"

Xie Changyu and Lei Jun both know the Qiu family very well.

The Qiu family is a wealthy family in Yancheng.

In the early years, both father and son of the Qiu family served as officials in the court.

At that time, King Liang was in charge of Youyun, and he could be described as a local emperor in Youyun area. He was very domineering and arrogant.

The father and son of the Qiu family offended King Liang by writing secrets and going to Beijing to expose his crimes. Afterwards, they were persecuted by King Liang and the whole family was imprisoned.

The King of Liang convicted the Qiu family of collaborating with the enemy and conspiring to rebel.

Qiu's father hanged himself in prison to prove his innocence. Before hanging himself, he wrote a blood letter angrily scolding King Liang for his lack of loyalty and filial etiquette, which angered King Liang.

Just when King Liang was about to attack the Qiu family with swords, Yun Qi's Xuanjia army rushed into Youyun's territory to rob the tax revenue, distracting King Liang.

Later, the King of Liang was recruited into the capital, and the Qiu family was redressed.

But that incident was a fatal blow to the Qiu family.

There is a set of invisible rules in officialdom. The Qiu family had no men who could hold on to the family, and within a short period of time, its status in Yancheng and Youyun was gradually declining.

Lei Jun said in a low voice: "I heard that Miss Qiu broke off her engagement because of that incident, and then because the men in the family suffered heavy casualties in that incident, there was no one in the house to support her."

"She held up the family lintel all by herself, rebuilt the clan school, and raised her younger brothers and sisters well."

"But after all, there are no elders to support them, and the Qiu family father and son were really upright before, and they offended many people in the officialdom. It is still difficult for them to completely gain a foothold."

The previous marriage to the Ma family was not so much because the Ma family's son had to break off the engagement due to repeated misfortunes, but rather because the Ma family did not want to involve the Qiu family, so they took advantage of the situation.

Xie Changyu nodded silently and asked, "How old is she this year?"

Lei Jun felt excited.

Xie Changyu was never a person who asked a woman's age casually. If he could ask such a question, he must have something in mind.

Lei Jun said it casually before, but now he immediately became serious, "Twenty to six."

"It is said that a marriage was arranged in the early years. Before getting married, her father discovered that the husband's father had been derelict in his duties and was corrupt, so he took him to justice. Naturally, the marriage did not take place."

"Later I wanted to get engaged, but most of the clans thought that Mr. Qiu was rigid and stubborn and didn't know how to adapt, so they stayed away from the Qiu family."

"Because of this, Miss Qiu was already too old. Later, she had no choice but to settle in a merchant's house. It was the same marriage that happened when the Qiu family was in trouble."

"Although that family is a businessman, they are righteous merchants, and they are also very kind and righteous to the Qiu family. After the Qiu family's trouble, that family was the one running the show."

"Later, the Qiu family was released from prison, and that family also helped a lot. However, the Qiu family was in a state of devastation at that time. If Miss Qiu got married, the old, weak, and disabled would have no one to take care of them."

"So Miss Qiu asked to break off the engagement."

"After all this time, we are now at the age of twenty-six. The Qiu family is in a bad situation, and she is not young at all. She probably doesn't want to get married easily."

Xie Changyu said calmly: "That's it."

Lei Jun sighed: "I have to say that Miss Qiu is really unlucky. Her father's uprightness has affected the whole family and made her so tired."

"That's not the case." Xie Changyu said calmly: "Master Qiu serves the country and the people, abides by the law, and is upright. He is a good official with character."

"Others thought he was out of place because of his strong character, and they suppressed his children..." Xie Changyu slowly shook his head: "It's shameful and ridiculous."

In the distance, Xie Huan and the woman were chatting happily, and the woman answered all of Xie Huan's questions.

Even if it was some inexplicable joke question, the woman was always very patient.

Xie Changyu's eyes moved slightly, and he could almost imagine her attitude when facing her younger siblings.

After pondering for a moment, Xie Changyu said: "Let's find out about Miss Qiu's character, virtue and talent, as well as the specific situation of the Qiu family."

Lei Jun was overjoyed: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I've made a lot of bad friends since I came to Youyun, and I'll handle it for you soon!"

Xie Changyu said a faint "hmm" and led the horse not far away.

Lei Jun was so excited that he wanted to tell Xie Wei the good news immediately, and then immediately prepare the wedding hall for the prince to get married.

At this moment, he saw Xie Changyu going far away, and he quickly followed him, "Your Majesty, are you going to lead the horse to drink? Let me do it. You go call the young master, and take advantage of the opportunity to take a look at Miss Qiu's appearance. ah!"

Xie Changyu said calmly: "No need."

Lei Jun opened his mouth, "What if Miss Qiu's appearance is not good enough to be noticed?"

"It doesn't matter." Xie Changyu held the horse's mane, "Beauty is just a superficial appearance, a delicate and wise heart is the essence of a person."

Lei Jun had nothing to say.

He suddenly thought that the Miss Qiu Er he met that day, although she was domineering and fierce, her face was pretty and pretty.

Since Miss Qiu and Miss Qiu are sisters, they must not be much different in appearance. (End of chapter)
