Chapter 332

Xiao Xu put down his chopsticks and said seriously, "Master, you are outside."

Yi Xuan was in a hurry, "That's a gift from me to my eldest nephew, how can I put it outside, what if someone takes it away?" As he said that, he was about to get off the chair.

Gu Yao hurriedly stopped him, "Okay, no one will take away the gift, it's right at the door, after dinner, you can give the gift to your eldest nephew."

"Really?" Yi Xuan was puzzled.

Gu Yao nodded, "Really, very true, when did my sister lie to you, eat."

Yi Xuan thought about it, yes, so he sat upright and started eating.

The Chen family has seen the way these two siblings get along with each other, and everyone's affection for Gu Yao has risen to a certain stage.

They knew about Gu Yao's life experience, and the relationship with Yi Jiang was that of adoptive father and daughter. Therefore, there was no blood relationship between Gu Yao and Yi Xuan.

Yi Xuan is Yi Jiang's true blood.

If Yi Jiang passed away, according to the laws of the Blue Moon Kingdom, everything under his name would be given to Yi Xuan, unless it was given to Gu Yao in the form of a dowry when Gu Yao got married.

They have seen too many brothers fighting to the death for money, but they did not expect that the brothers and sisters who are not related by blood are so friendly when they get along.

Gu Yao taught Yi Xuan not to fight him hard, but to teach him with what he can understand now.

This is a very good way.

After lunch, everyone didn't go anywhere, so they stayed in the dining room. After all, it was such a hot day, and if they went to chat in the yard, they might have to take off a layer of skin.

"Nephew, look, I gave these to you." Yi Xuan pulled Chen Guangran to the basket next to Xiao Xu.

Because the back basket was taller than the two little guys, Xiao Xu put the back basket down.

"The fruits in it are delicious, you must eat them, and those snacks are all made by our cook in the morning, they are delicious."

Chen Guangran glanced at Yi Xuan, then looked at the pannier in front of him, listening to Yi Xuan over there with a flat expression on his face.

Gu Yao took a look at Yi Xuan and the others, saw Mo Lingqiu and Xiao Xu looking at the two little guys, so she talked to Chen Jiu on her own.

"Brother Chen, we came here today. Apart from Xuan'er wanting to see Xiao Ranran, we mainly want to ask you what's going on in Fucheng."

Gu Yao sighed, and said, "The price of food in our county has risen countless times. If this continues, I'm afraid not only the west will suffer, but our side will also suffer."

Chen Jiu rubbed his hands on the teacup, and said in a deep voice, "The situation in Fucheng should be similar to that of yours. After all, the heavy rain this year is extensive."

"A lot of caravans began to buy a large amount of grain, which caused the price of grain to rise." He sighed, "We didn't have a good time here, but now it's like this."

Chen Jiu shook his head, his face full of helplessness.

Yi Ranchen said from the side: "Although I also learned some information from the caravan at the beginning, but the information was not complete, and then I simply sent someone there."

"As the news came later, I found out that the local area in the west was more serious than what we knew at the beginning. The crops in the west were not easy to grow, but after a severe drought, there was nothing left."

After a pause, he said, "Actually, people starve to death every year in the west, but the local officials didn't report it."

Gu Yao's fists on the side were clenched tightly, no one would report the dead, so could it be possible to report when everyone is dead?

Such a person actually serves as an official for the parents of the common people, he is simply blind to these three words.

"I sent people there at the beginning, but after the chaos in the west, I withdrew them back." Chen Jiu said, "I've heard what you said."

"The west side is a little far away from us. If they want to hide some things, there is nothing we can do!"

Gu Yao said angrily: "These dog officials simply don't take the lives of ordinary people as their lives. It's really disgusting. Sooner or later they will peel off that layer of skin on their bodies."

Yi Ranchen patted Gu Yao's hand, comfortingly said: "This world is like this, if there is a good side, there will be a bad side, this cannot be changed no matter how long it takes."

"Alas." Chen Jiu shook his head, "Now we can only hope that the west side will rain soon, and it is best to moisten the fields over there like our torrential rain this time."

At least it will be much better for them.

Gu Yao glanced to the west, and asked, "Brother Chen, do you know who the court official is going to the west this time?"

Chen Jiu thought for a while and said, "It seems to be the prince."

"En!" Gu Yao stood up abruptly, looked at Chen Jiu, "Brother Chen, are you sure it's the prince?"

Chen Jiu shook his head, "I don't remember where I heard about it, and I'm not sure." Then he looked at Gu Yao suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?"

How did you get such a big reaction when you heard 'Prince'!

Yi Ranchen looked up at Gu Yao who was shocked. This was not the first time he had heard the word prince. He had heard it before when Master Xuanyuan was talking to Yao'er. He always felt that there was something wrong with it. .

Therefore, there is a hint of inquiry in the eyes looking at Gu Yao at this moment.

"Yes, is there?" Gu Yao didn't notice Yi Ranchen's abnormality, so she sat down in embarrassment, then laughed dryly, and said, "I just think it's not appropriate for him to go to the west as the prince of a country." .”

"How could it be inappropriate!" Chen Jiu shook his head, "As the future emperor, now is the best time to accumulate reputation."

Then he lowered his voice and said: "I heard people say that the fight in the capital seems to be quite fierce. Although the fourth prince is not the prince, the power in his hands is evenly matched with the prince."

"I've also heard that the current emperor and empress are not in harmony. The crown prince may not succeed, and it is possible that the fourth prince will succeed. But these are still too far away from us."

After Gu Yao listened, she was silent for a while, and then took a sip of tea. When did the emperor and empress disagree, she had never heard of it when she was in the capital.

Or after she left the capital?

But for what?

Is it because of yourself?
is it possible?
Yi Ranchen looked at Gu Yao who was in deep thought, touched her lightly, and asked, "Yao'er, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah." Gu Yao shook her head, then came back to her senses and said to Yi Ranchen, "Oh, it's okay, I'm just thinking about the situation in the west."

"That's it, don't worry, it will pass." Yi Ranchen said while holding Gu Yao's hand.

Chen Jiu stood up and stretched his waist, and then said: "I guess the price of this food will go up. It's better for you to buy some food and save it."

"If there is really no food by then, it will be terrible."

Gu Yao nodded, "I asked people to buy food after the heavy rain before, but now the food at home is enough for the next season's harvest."

"It's good that you know it yourself." Chen Jiu smiled, and then walked towards Yi Xuan and the others, "Let me see what Xuan'er sent to my family."

Gu Yao and Yi Ranchen also followed. At this time, Yi Xuan was introducing to Chen Guangran what the names of these fruits are!

"Nephew, look at this. This is a strawberry. Let me tell you, this strawberry is delicious. Have you ever eaten it? I guess you haven't. You must taste it later."

"If you think it's delicious, come to my house and ask for it. I'll ask someone to prepare it for you. I promise to have it when you want it. And this, I'll tell you."

Gu Yao shook her head, "This Xuan'er is always on the go, and she's quick-spoken, tsk tsk tsk."

"Isn't that good." Yi Ranchen smiled, "It's just that there are a lot more words compared to Ranran."

In fact, from the beginning to the present, Chen Guangran only said one word, that is, "En." The rest of the time, Yi Xuan himself was there talking non-stop.

And full of interest.

"Xuan'er, of course." Chen Jiu squatted opposite Yi Xuan, glanced at the things in the basket, "Tsk tsk, there are quite a lot!"

There is actually a big watermelon inside, as well as many kinds of fruits and all kinds of snacks.

"Brother Chen, I gave these to my eldest nephew." Yi Xuan looked at Chen Jiu vigilantly, fearing that if one of them missed him, this thing would disappear.

Chen Jiu smiled, "I know, Brother Chen doesn't move your things."

"En." Yi Xuan nodded with a smile, then pulled Chen Guangran and said, "Nephew, do you want to eat it? If you want to eat it, tell me which one you want, and I'll get it for you."

Chen Guangran glanced at Yi Xuan, then shook his head, he is not hungry yet.

Yi Xuan was a little disappointed, the light in his eyes dimmed a bit, but he still smiled and said, "Well, then you keep these things, and you can eat them when you want to eat them, and if you don't have them, come to my house and me Say."

"I'll let the cook make it for you. You can eat as much as you want, and there are fruits. My family has an orchard, and there are many fruits in it. You can eat whatever you want."

Then seeing Chen Jiu next to him, he smiled and said, "Brother Chen is coming too, and he will come to eat when the time comes, but he has to pay."

As soon as these words came out, the others burst out laughing.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Chen Jiu touched Yi Xuan's head, and said, "Xuan'er, you are not kind, why don't you give me money when I go, and I will give you money when I go?"

"Then how can it be the same." Yi Xuan raised his face and said, "Of course he is my eldest nephew, a junior, how can I ask him for money?"

"Brother Chen, you are different. You are an elder. How can you not give me money when you come to eat here for the younger generation!"

Chen Jiu was dumbfounded, there is such an operation?
Gu Yao leaned against Yi Ranchen with a smile, and said, "Xuan'er is amazing, he must be a little expert at making money in the future."

"Enn." Yi Ranchen patted Gu Yao's back with a smile, fearing that the other party's smile would be too joyful and make her angry.

Mo Lingqiu looked at Yi Xuan and couldn't laugh or cry, but Chen Guangran's eyes were a little dazed, and he didn't quite understand what these adults were laughing at.

Chen Jiu stood up and said, "It's hot, and there are watermelons hanging in the well. I'll go and get them out, and everyone can try them."
