This is really not the reaction of a good villager.
Therefore, Jiang Qingqing deliberately chose difficult conditions for them.
She looked at the teenager in front of her, and her impression of him was not necessarily good.
Yanluo had some impression of this young man. He was the eldest son of the poorest family in the village.
It seems his name is Lin Lang.
"I left Ba Village because of some...well, my mother remarried, and I followed her to my stepfather's house."
Lin Lang seemed to recognize Yan Luo as Miss A Jing. But facing Gan Yuan and Gan Lin, the people around the Third Prince, he didn't want to miss this opportunity.
It is indeed hard to speak up when one exposes one's own family shame.
Jiang Qingqing frowned, "If your mother remarries, then logically speaking, you should be able to live a good life."
She said this on purpose.
The young man in front of him looked good and was really good at carrying bricks. But Jiang Qingqing didn't want to make him feel confused, so she deliberately picked embarrassing words to test him.
As expected, Lin Lang's expression became even uglier.
"My stepfather didn't like me, and I didn't want to live under someone else's roof and depend on others for my life, so I ran away. I wanted to go back to Ba Village and start a new life."
This statement was brief and clear.
Jiang Qingqing nodded and turned to look at Gan Lin.
Gan Lin received Jiang Qingqing's eye signal and quickly said, "What's your name?"
"Lin Lang." He answered seriously.
"Although we understand your experience, the rules are the rules and there is no way to change them."
Gan Yuan spoke tactfully, first politely declining his offer to join Ba Village easily, but suddenly, she changed the subject.
"This is a letter of recommendation. You can take this letter to the military camp outside Beijing to join the army. If you do well, our Highness will know about it and we will transfer you back from the military camp. Of course, we will also ask for your opinion at that time."
This sentence was quite humane and even respected Lin Lang's choice.
Lin Lang took the recommendation letter in his hand in a daze, and then he could see the emotion on his face gradually change from shock to excitement.
After thanking Gan Yuan and Gan Lin profusely, he clenched the letter of recommendation in his hand, turned around and left the government office.
At this moment, there were no outsiders in the hall of the old government office.
Yan Luo quickly said, "I didn't expect Her Royal Highness the Princess would come in person this time."
Jiang Qingqing simply said that she came to check on the situation and follow up on the progress.
She briefly expressed her views on Ba Village and her ideas for its renovation, and asked locals like Yanluo for their opinions.
Yan Luo's view of Jiang Qingqing is that she is a real savior.
Whatever her savior said was right in her eyes.
"Your Highness, even if you leave Ba Village vacant and do nothing here, we all agree." Yan Luo's eyes lit up when he heard the name of the merchant.
Jiang Qingqing smiled and said, "You can't say that. You still have to retain your rights and interests. You have to think about yourself from your own perspective. If you have any benefits or needs, tell me as soon as possible. If my plan is almost finalized, it will be difficult to change it by then."
What she said was very serious, which made Yan Luo silent for a moment, and then she began to seriously discuss the improvement of Ba Village with Jiang Qingqing.
After the two of them discussed each other's needs, they made the final decision when the sun was about to set.
"Then I will have people come over to start clearing the ruins and build the gathering yard first. Then I will come in person to ask the old man to move and apologize. When the move is almost done, I will make large-scale changes to the regional planning of Ba Village."
Jiang Qingqing's words were very official and cold.
Yan Luo nodded carefully. After the two reached an agreement, Jiang Qingqing returned to the palace contentedly.
Everything was developing as planned, which allowed Jiang Qingqing to have a rare good night's sleep.
The next day, just as the sky was getting light, Jiang Qingqing woke up from her bed and heard the arrangements for today.
The envoy of Li State will hold a banquet in the evening to give instructions, and at that time Li State will announce how to deal with Han Qingyi.
As for Han Qiming...
Jiang Qingqing frowned.
In her heart, she hoped that Li State could take these two evils away to Tianqi. She would rather take five or six cities of Li State than leave two hostages in the Tianqi Palace to cause trouble.
It was not until night fell that Jiang Qingqing reluctantly allowed Xin Juan and the others to change her into formal clothes and walked towards the palace to receive the envoys from the State of Li.
This was not a family dinner, but a nighttime banquet for which ministers were invited.
Jiang Qingqing could completely understand that Emperor Qing was taking advantage of the opportunity presented by the envoy from the State of Li to give all the ministers in the court a chance to build a team.
She sat down in the main seat and turned to look at the group of ministers below. None of them looked familiar to her.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qingqing came up with the idea of finding an opportunity to cultivate a scholar in order to make a living.
When almost everyone in the hall had arrived, the emperor and empress took the main seats surrounded by a group of palace maids.
Tonight's dinner to welcome the envoys from the State of Li has finally begun.
The envoy from the State of Li sat in the first seat at the bottom, and he looked at Emperor Qing who was sitting in the main seat in a flattering manner.
He rubbed his hands together uneasily as if he was feeling anxious, as Emperor Qing finished his opening remarks and after the countless preparations that had gone before.
He then spoke cautiously: "Emperor Tianqi, we are willing to give you gold, silver, jewelry and the most beautiful woman in our Li country."
This is the most classic example of apology.
Jiang Qingqing found what she heard boring. She looked at her uncle beside her who seemed to be thinking about something.
She moved her little butt to the side of the emperor's uncle.
The little hand rested on the back of the uncle's hand, and whispered, "Uncle, are you free now?"
Xiao Linting collected his thoughts and turned his head to look at the little babe who was looking up at him with a palm-sized face.
He couldn't help but soften his gaze.
"Your Highness, please speak."
Jiang Qingqing pointed at the fruit in front of the table, then pointed at her stomach, without saying anything, but her actions were obvious.
Xiao Linting understood what she meant and reached out to take the fruit.
The familiar voice of the little milk ball appeared in my mind
[The nonsense these Li people say is really getting more and more speechless every year. I can still remember the nonsense they said on my birthday.]
She seemed to have always had a bad attitude towards Li Guo.
[Who cares about gold, silver, jewelry and women? ! Tianqi’s territory is so big, who wants your little stuff. ]
Jiang Qingqing stared at the envoy from the State of Li, criticizing him wildly in her mind.
[If you ask me, it would be better to ask for the city and send those two troublemakers back to Li State, and let them have a civil war in Li State. Han Qiming, that bastard, keeps messing with me and my brother every day. It's so annoying! ]
Xiao Linting's movement of peeling the fruit paused slightly.
