With this tool, the time for farming was greatly shortened, and Song Ruqing even summoned You Tianming for a special meeting.
When You Tianming heard that Princess Ping wanted to see him, there was no joy on his face, but instead a deep disgust.
If it weren't for the royal nobles of the previous dynasty, their Qu family would not have ended up like this.
If the current emperor's sons had not fought for power, there would not have been only the three of them, grandfather and grandson, left of the more than 300 people in the Qu family. They would not have suffered such a disaster, leaving him alone to live in the world.
If they hadn't met Miss Ji, their Qu family would have been wiped out.
You Tianming suppressed his inner thoughts and followed the Red Sleeves Army to meet Song Ruqing.
But no matter what the other party asked, he pretended to be very dull, and would never use two words if he could answer with one word.
Song Ruqing didn't say more than five sentences to him before losing interest in the conversation and sent someone to send him back to the Ji family.
Zhou was very puzzled watching from the side.
Although this child doesn't talk much, he can still communicate normally, and it's not as difficult as it was today!
But she instinctively knew that she shouldn't say this, so even though she was puzzled, she stood aside silently without saying a word.
Song Ruqing waited until the person left before he took a sip of tea: "It's quite interesting."
With her keen eyesight, she could naturally see the other person's impatience and resistance towards her. No matter how much he pretended, his eyes would not lie.

Ji Changying was looking at the rice seedlings. They were almost grown and could be planted as soon as he had time.
"Bang!"
The door of Ji's house was kicked open.
"Doctor Huang?" Mrs. Hu looked at Mr. Huang who came in hurriedly in surprise.
"Where's that girl?"
As soon as Mr. Huang entered the room, he asked anxiously and ignored Mrs. Hu's greeting.
"Her room." Mrs. Hu pointed, and Mr. Huang hurried to Ji Changying's room.
Just as he was about to kick the door open again, it opened.
"Are you in such a hurry? Why are you so anxious?"
Mr. Huang ignored her joke and looked at her seriously: "Where did you get this thing?"
He held in his hand the piece of gold given by Ji Changying.
"What's wrong?" Seeing him like this, Ji Changying's expression also became serious.
Mrs. Hu was also a little anxious, having no idea what the two were talking about.
"I'm asking you where this thing came from!" Old Huang was a little anxious and raised his voice.
Ji Changying thought about it and said, "I found it on the mountain. If Black Dog hadn't gone over and dug it up from the ground, I wouldn't have known there was such a piece of gold on the ground."
Huang Lao reached out and grabbed her: "Take me over to have a look."
Ji Changying was dragged up the mountain, and along the way, Old Huang looked a little heavy.
"What happened to this gold? I gave it to you after all. You have the right to know the truth, right?"
Huang Lao's face was full of complexities. "This thing belonged to the royal family of the previous dynasty. The gold on it was soaked in a special potion, and then fed to a carefully selected pet with special medicine. This pet cannot be too far away from this gold for the rest of its life, otherwise it will die."
"These animals are usually called treasure keepers, specifically guarding treasures. After the previous dynasty was overthrown, this tradition was lost."
Ji Changying asked curiously, "Animals are called Tibetan guardians? Why don't they just use humans to guard the place?"
Old Master Huang sighed, "Human thoughts are fickle and difficult to control, so the previous dynasty decided to start with animals. Before the fall of their royal family, they did hide some gold and silver treasures, but no one knew where they were. I only heard these secrets from my master, but I didn't expect to actually see that medicine on this piece of gold. Thinking about the black dog's reaction you mentioned, I think it must be correct."
Ji Changying remained calm: "Then your master is quite amazing, he even knows this."
Speaking of his master, Huang Lao's face was filled with pride. "My master, the old man from Shengshan, is an expert in both medicine and poisons, and a master of martial arts. He was highly respected by emperors of two dynasties. Of course, he is amazing!"
Ji Changying responded calmly, then pretended to ask casually, "What kind of animals are those 'Tibet Guardians'?"
"Who knows? I heard there's everything: lions, tigers, leopards, bears, lynxes, monkeys. Basically, anything that can live in these mountains is possible."
At this point, Mr. Huang paused and said, "I don't think your black dog looks like that. It's been jumping around all day and never stayed in one place. I think the smell of the potion has affected it."
No one knows the truth better than Ji Changying. She is basically certain that Hei Gou is the so-called "Tibet Keeper".
It's just that no one thought she could carry so much gold and silver with her, so no one guessed that...
She took Mr. Huang to a random place halfway up the mountain and Mr. Huang wandered around there for a long time but naturally found nothing.
It was hard to tell whether Mr. Huang was relieved or disappointed. "That's good too. This way there will be less conflict."
Before leaving the mountain, he repeatedly warned her, "This matter is only between the two of us, and you must not tell anyone else. There are still some remnants of the previous dynasty that have not been completely eliminated. If any of this information leaks out, you and your family will never live in peace."
Originally, he shouldn't have told Ji Changying these things, but it might be because of Zhou, or it might be because of Ji Changying's face.
Although he did not receive a reply from his junior sister, Mr. Huang could not help but take better care of Ji Changying's family. He even regarded Ji Changying and Zhou as his own descendants.
"I understand!" The matter was of great importance, so Ji Changying agreed without hesitation.
As soon as I returned to Ji's house, I saw two carriages parked at the door, and two teams of servants were standing beside the carriages in high spirits.
One of the cars, Ji Changying, looked very familiar, as if it belonged to Kou Yunyi?
The other carriage was much grander. In addition to the attendants, there were two rows of maids and servants standing there. Some of them stamped their feet in disgust to brush off the mud on their shoes, as if they really didn't want to stand there.
Ji Changying frowned when she saw this.
She strode forward towards the door, but was stopped by a guard with a knife: "There are important people inside, no one is allowed to enter!"
Ji Changying laughed: "This is my home."
The two guards looked at each other and said, "Wait for me to make an announcement."
Ji Changying watched one of them go in expressionlessly and then quickly let her in.
As soon as she entered, she saw Zhang Leyao sitting in the courtyard with an air of arrogance, flanked by maids and old women. She was bossing Hu around, "What kind of tea is this? It's awful! I brought some excellent black tea. Go make me a cup."
