Sturdy Countryside: Lord, Please Blow The Lamp

You can't always let Dongfang Yu send troops to help, can you? Even bringing a few people into the Lord's Courtyard, they all had something to say, if Dongfang Yu sent several soldiers to the Thousand-Layer Realm, what would happen in the palace might not be known.

What's more, if you build a decent farm tool, you don't have to buy many servants, and it's easier to manage it.

"Looking for a blacksmith shop?"

However, upon hearing Xia Beibei's words, Dongfang Yu raised his head from among the pile of food in surprise and looked at her.

"Didn't you tell Shi Qiu and the others about this?"

"Shi Qiu and the others have something to do, I think I can go to such a small matter by myself," Xia Beibei said.

Isn't it just to make some farm tools, she is a big living person, can't she do it?

How could she have imagined that she couldn't find a blacksmith's shop after shopping around the street, and she couldn't help wondering whether there were blacksmith's shops in the suburbs of Tucheng.

"That's no wonder." Dongfang Yu nodded clearly.

"No wonder why?" Xia Beibei asked puzzled.

Could it be that after looking for Shi Qiu and the others, they can find the blacksmith shop? But that's true, Shi Qiu and the others were born and raised in the wilderness, so they might not be familiar with them.

"Bei'er, tell Shisan what kind of farm tools you want to make. It's more convenient to go to Yuancheng. In the wilderness, there are very few blacksmiths, and they are all government-run. The main reason is that they are not allowed to cut down trees at will." Dongfang Yu said.

"You are not allowed to cut down trees, and you can't use coal? It's better to use coal than firewood." Xia Beibei didn't understand anymore.

Where do the iron utensils that ordinary people use come from? Could it be that they all fell from the sky? Wait, Dongfang Yu just said the official camp, that is to say, the iron shops in the wild are all official, that is, the exclusive operation of Prince Xun's Mansion?

Has there been coal in this world for a long time? Isn't the kerosene lamp something that every household can use?

"Bei Er, the coal mine is privately owned, but those who are going to be beheaded, whether it is coal or kerosene, must be owned by the government." Dongfang Yu reminded her.

"Oh, no wonder." No wonder she couldn't find a blacksmith's shop, but there were shops selling iron tools.

"Then I will give the blueprint to Shisan tomorrow, and ask him to go there," she said.

"Yeah." Dongfang Yu nodded.

"By the way, today on the street, I not only met Hua Qiangu and the others, but also Dongfang Yan and a gang of gangsters." Xia Beibei continued.

"Dongfang Yan?" Dongfang Yu raised his head in surprise and raised his eyebrows at her. Dongfang Yan is a prince, how could he hang out with gangsters?

Well, he thinks that the gangsters that Belle is talking about may be the concubines of those aristocratic families, right?

"Did he mess with you?" he asked.

If you don't offend Belle, it's impossible for Belle to call the children of those aristocratic families gangsters.

"It didn't bother me." Xia Beibei replied, raising her hand to add a crispy shrimp to his bowl.

"That's good, he won't dare to provoke you." Dongfang Yu was relieved that he didn't provoke Belle. The few princes and princesses in the mansion are not easy to provoke.

However, his Belle is not a bad thing.

"He didn't offend me, but he seems to have offended you." Xia Beibei said so.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Dongfang Yu looked at Xia Beibei without knowing why, and he didn't forget to pick up some vegetables and stuff them into his mouth.

He hasn't seen his fourth brother today, so why did he offend him?

"I don't think so, anyway... Dongfang, I heard that you have a missing fiancée?" She twitched her eyebrows, muttered, and looked at Dongfang Yu seriously.

Although she doesn't mind, but if she doesn't mind, it doesn't mean that she can pretend she doesn't know anything. At least let Dongfang Yu know what to do, and deal with this matter well, so that she won't be difficult in the future. .

Moreover, Dongfang Yan secretly schemes against him as the big brother, is it really okay? When necessary, you have to fight back, right?

With a sound of 'click', the chopsticks in Dongfang Yu's hand fell on the table in fright, staring at Xia Beibei's black eyes, immediately stained with anxiety.

"Belle, this...you have to listen to my explanation...I...that is not..."

Xia Beibei blinked her beautiful eyes, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, almost laughing.

Although she is an independent new human being, her future husband will definitely only marry her as a wife, but as the saying goes, do as the Romans do, she can't affect their present and future because of Dongfang Yu's past, right?

"Come on, take a sip of wine to calm your shock, let's talk slowly, don't worry." She poured a glass of wine for him and said softly.

A few black lines slid across Dongfang Yu's forehead, and she was shocked by Xia Beibei's calm attitude. Why was she able to deal with such things calmly, as if she wasn't even surprised?

Is it because Belle doesn't care enough about herself? Then he has to work harder, and get rid of all those who try to destroy their relationship.

However, he still made up his mind.

"Bei'er, the person Dongfang Yan mentioned does exist. This is the baby kiss that my father and queen made with me when I was six years old. It can be regarded as a marriage with the belly."

"Oh." Xia Beibei responded lightly, and looked at Dongfang Yu puzzled, "The family who can make a baby marriage with Prince Xun's Mansion must not be a small family? But according to Dongfang Yan, that person disappeared gone?"

The daughter of a rich family, how can she disappear so easily? Are you kidding her?

"It's not considered missing. She is the eldest princess of Tianyuan Mansion outside Xuedu, the fifth princess Nangong Beier. Because she was born with snow in June, it was regarded as an ominous omen. Later, King Jing invited Taoist priests to meet the fifth princess. Fortune-telling, the hexagram is the reincarnation of the lonely evil star, it will kill the father and the mother, the brother and the younger brother, and it will kill everyone in the family, which is a bad omen." Dongfang Yu said to Xia Beibei seriously.

"On the day the Taoist divination for the five princesses happened, an old concubine in Prince Jing's mansion, who was originally strong, died for no reason."

"Bullshit!" Xia Beibei curled her lips and cursed.

"So far, King Jing has no doubts about the hexagram, and wants to secretly send someone to take the fifth princess out of the palace to kill. Fortunately, the princess was prepared and ordered people to take the fifth princess out of the palace to raise him. Since then, there has been no news of the person, and the fifth princess, Nangong Beier, is dead or alive."

These, he also heard from his good brother Nangong Liqi, as for whether that Nangong Beier is dead or alive, and what happened to the servant, no one knows.

"It's simply devoid of humanity, even my own daughter!" Xia Beibei cursed angrily, looking at Dongfang Yu.

"That old concubine who died must be a small person who has no status in Prince Jing's mansion, right?"

What kind of concubine, she can conclude, is nothing more than a woman with no status beside the dead old King Jing. Such a person's life can make the eldest princess notorious, which is really a good plan.

"Bei Er, how did you know about this matter? Did you hear about it?" Dongfang Yu looked at her in surprise and asked.

He also had only a half-knowledge about the affairs of Prince Jing's Mansion, all of which he learned from Nangong Liqi, but Belle could tell that the old concubine was an irrelevant person.

"Is it worth hearing?" Xia Beibei rolled her eyes at him, and pursed her red lips, "Needless to say, after this incident, the concubine fell out of favor as if she had been thrown into limbo, right?"

"Yeah, not only the princess, but also the son... the eldest son Nangong Liqi, if not for the empress dowager, his position as the son would have been deprived long ago. Qi has suffered a lot." Dongfang Yu sighed.

He didn't know if Nangong Bei'er was dead or alive, but he knew that his good brother Nangong Liqi was living a miserable life under the fence of others.

"What kind of lonely star of fate, only a goose like you would believe it!" Xia Beibei snorted coldly.

"Bei'er, what do you mean by that?" Dongfang Yu was obviously taken aback, and looked at her puzzled.

"What do you say?" she asked him back.

"You mean... Hiss! No way?" Dongfang Yu's eyes widened all of a sudden, staring at Xia Beibei in disbelief.

"Why not, what is Destiny Gusha? It's just a sharp knife that some people use to deal with their enemies." Xia Beibei said decisively.

This kind of thing is not uncommon, let alone a majestic palace, it is common in the homes of ordinary people, as long as there are three wives and four concubines, it is common.

"But June Feixue is real." Dongfang Yu shook his head.

"Flying snow in June, who said it must be bad luck? Maybe it's a good omen?" Xia Beibei twitched her lips slightly.

"Everything has two sides. Who can say that the snow in June is not good, and it is not good to have a heavy snow in the hot summer?"

Dongfang Yu: "..."

For the first time, he knew that June Feixue could understand it this way? Sure enough, after getting acquainted with Belle, his knowledge became wider and wider.

"No." Suddenly, Dongfang Yu's face changed, and it seemed that it was not about what they were going to say, "Bei Er, you have to believe me, the concubine mother has made an agreement with Princess Jing and the concubine, as long as Nangong Beier is full If Fifteen hasn't found her, then break off the engagement with me."

"Yes." Xia Beibei nodded.

"Bei'er, whether I can find her or not, I will never marry her. Only you can take the position of concubine, you must trust me, don't be angry, okay?" Dongfang Yu saw that she was calm enough, I thought she was actually a little angry in her heart.

"Angry? Which eye of yours saw me angry?" Hearing this, Xia Beibei looked herself up and down.

She wasn't angry, okay, not at all, if she was angry, she was also angry with Dongfang Yan who was trying to sow discord, okay?

"Aren't you angry?" Dongfang Yu's expression became weird. This time, it's his turn to be angry, right?

"Bell, don't you get angry when you hear that I have a fiancée, and don't want to beat me up?" Isn't this normal? It seems that I have been completely ignored by Belle?

Xia Beibei: "..."

Is this masochistic delusion? He has to make her angry and break his body so that he can feel comfortable in his heart, doesn't he?

"Dongfang, it's not that I'm not angry, it's just that I think I should trust you. If you don't tell me, you think you can handle the marriage with your fingertips. Your mother and concubine have given me the heirloom bracelet. Don't you think , should I doubt your intentions for me?" She said softly to him.

Putting yourself in his position, maybe his lover has other women besides himself, but he doesn't respond at all, so he will be angry, right?

So, she explained.

Hearing this, Dongfang Yu's tense body finally relaxed. He pulled Xia Beibei up from the seat, put her on his lap, and hugged her tightly.

"Thank you, Belle."

"Thank you for what? You should thank Dongfang Yan, that's the most important thing." Xia Beibei reminded him.

You can't let those people who don't know how to advance or retreat step on their own heads and think that they are very smart. This is not something they will do.

"Dongfang Yan!" Hearing this name, Dongfang Yu's voice became extremely gloomy.

Belle had just arrived in Tucheng, and he was right next to Belle's ear, saying such a thing, if he thought it was not intentional, it was impossible, it was simply hateful.

Are you in such a hurry? However, this also shows that Dongfang Yan is just a person who can't achieve great things, but the more he can't achieve great things, the more he will jump over the wall in a hurry, so we still have to pay attention.

"There is only one Dongfang Yan, whoever is picked out by this mansion is a character full of tricks."

...

In a quiet courtyard, suddenly, there was a sound of broken porcelain from the study, followed by a man's angry curse.

"Bastard, I asked you to inquire, and you inquired about this? What is the use of my prince raising you trash?"

Dongfang Yan stood angrily behind the desk, looking at the guards in front of him who lowered their heads and didn't dare to say a word.

These are the people he raised, one or two are useless, even a woman under Dongfang Yu's hands can't deal with it.

Originally, I wanted to find out who that Xia Jiuniang belonged to, and why when I met him on the street in the morning, he clearly said that Dongfang Yu had a fiancee, but she didn't care at all.

Isn't it the woman Dongfang Yu likes, but has other uses?

But what use can a little girl be? He thought about it, and there was only one possibility, and that was that it had something to do with the three thousand acres of land that Dongfang Yu bought in Thousand Layers Realm.

But what can a little girl do? If it's an expert in farming, it's not her turn to be a little girl, right? Just pulling someone out from the countryside will be a hundred times stronger than her!

But Dongfang Yu brought her back.

Ask the guards to check Xia Beibei's whereabouts, but these people are really useless and can't find anything.

"Fourth prince, those people are too tight-lipped. I tried my best, but I couldn't get anything useful out of them. But my subordinates learned that the prince severely reprimanded Aunt Lian Ji today. Because Xia Jiuniang put three strange men in the Lord's Courtyard." The guards are also innocent.

They are their masters on weekdays, and they are against each other, and they don't have a deep friendship. How could they ask something from the guards of the Lord's Courtyard?
