Rouge Pastoral: One Piece for Your Husband

Chapter 23
With the help of my uncle, Ning Qiu has almost mastered the essentials of harvesting wheat. Although her speed is not as fast as those of her elders, she is almost as fast as her elder sister and second sister.

In order to let her catch up earlier, my uncle stayed by Ning Qiu's side first, and worked with her to solve the land that belonged to her.

Ning Qiu took a look at his handsome side face, and thought that it would be a pity that such an outstanding man as his uncle was buried in this remote town, so he asked, "Uncle, I remember that you took part in the township examination this spring. Right? Is it a Juren now?"

Ning Huaiguang's subordinates continued to move, nodded, and glanced at Ning Qiu: "Yes, you can take the imperial examination in the spring tomorrow."

Ning Qiu smiled happily: "Uncle, you are really amazing, I wish you success!"

But my uncle didn't look very happy, he just smiled lightly.

Ning Qiu was a little confused. Although she didn't have much memory of Da Chu in her body, she also knew that Da Chu had been in constant war for the past few years, but in recent years it seemed that a very powerful general had emerged. After many wars have been quelled, it should be time for Da Chu to recuperate.

Moreover, it is the 36th year of Qingyang. The reigning emperor has been working hard for so many years, especially in the imperial examinations, without giving the slightest chance to cheat, and has selected many outstanding talents.

So there is no reason for gold like my uncle not to shine.Why is he still sad?
"Uncle, are you worried that you won't be named on the gold list?" Ning Qiu couldn't help asking.

Ning Huaiguang glanced at Ning Qiu in surprise, and finally just showed a wry smile: "Well... there is also some reason for this."

Ning Qiu saw that his uncle didn't seem to want to talk to him in detail, so he didn't force the question any further, but changed to other topics.

"Uncle, you have read a lot of books, tell Ning Qiu about the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in Great Chu? There are so many legendary figures, and Ning Qiu admires them very much!" Ning Qiu looked like a little girl, Chatting while working, life is not so difficult.

The uncle glanced at Ning Qiu, seeing the child's eyes so similar to his own, he couldn't help smiling.In fact, Ning Qiu was five years younger than herself, but she felt that this child's mind was more transparent than her own.

"This big Chu, it has risen and fallen for more than 300 years." The uncle opened his mouth slowly.

Ning Qiu was surprised, for more than 300 years, it is really a powerful dynasty.The descendants of the Chu family still have a way of governing the country.

"But in fact, strictly speaking, more than 100 years ago, the surname of this great Chu should be Ling. There used to be a king of Dongli in the main city of our Yingzhou. He was a genius who used soldiers like a god, and his subordinates were talented Many, especially his princess, is as outstanding as him. The first princess who was famous in the world at the time was not their opponent. With two swords combined, they defeated Da Chu in less than two years. The capital of the capital, Dongli King successfully ascended the throne."

Ning Qiu listened carefully, and couldn't help but outline the majestic figure of King Dongli, and beside him, followed by a charming woman in red, the two of them traveled across the world, pointing the country.

As for the matter of seizing the throne, my uncle just brought it up in a few words.

However, Ning Qiu expressed his doubts: "Is the surname of King Dongli Ling? Why is the surname of Jiangshan still Chu?"

The uncle smiled: "Ning Qiu, don't worry, let me tell you slowly."

Ning Qiu nodded, indicating that he would listen carefully, and motioned for the uncle to continue.

The uncle worked for a while, then stood up and moved his shoulders, then bent down and continued to work, but his words did not stop.
