Chapter 389 The hero's stumbling block on the road to escape from the famine 40
Even if he knew Zhang Xiaotao's true identity, Xiao Yun would not look at her differently. No matter what her previous identity was, at least she was his employee now, and he just needed to do his job well. She was not a mean boss, so he just needed to treat her normally.
But I don't know if it's because the princess has better bloodline, or if it's because her parents from the two countries' marriage have good genes, or because they are far apart that she is smart, and she really understands many things at a glance.
In addition to teaching Mingyue and the other two embroidery skills, Zhang Xiaotao would also serve them. She did not position herself as an embroidery master, but rather a servant with a signed working contract.
Of course, there was also an element of repaying Xiao Yun's protection. Xiao Yun had told her several times but she still insisted on doing her own thing, so she just let her be. Anyway, there were other maids serving her, and she didn't have much work to do.
And because she often followed Mingyue and the others, she learned a lot.
When Xiao Yun was teaching Mingyue and the other two how to behave and deal with people, she watched from the side and even learned faster than Mingyue and the other two.
Xiao Yun discovered this but did not stop her. Instead, he deliberately taught her more, treating it as fate. How much she could learn depended on her luck.
As her daughters, Mingyue and Mingxing will definitely marry well in the future.
Not to mention that the father and son of the Gu family now hold some official positions, although not high. This is also because they have no chance to make meritorious contributions. It is not easy for A Yuan to promote him too obviously. He will be promoted slowly in the future.
Now they are more or less daughters of official families, and they will definitely not marry a commoner in the future, not to mention that they have a step-brother who wants to unify the world and become the emperor first.
As the daughter of the Invisible Queen Mother, she is an invisible princess. Even if she is invisible, she is still a princess. He has to choose carefully among them.
Therefore, in addition to teaching them how to be a good mistress of the house, Xiao Yun will also teach them some ways of doing things and the overall situation of a large family, not limited to the little love affairs in the backyard and some trivial matters of life, but to broaden their horizons.
They were even taught how to recognize people, from some habitual small movements and expressions to how to read people's faces.
It’s just that Mingyue and the other two didn’t have much talent in this area, and they failed several times after trying. On the contrary, Zhang Xiaotao got it right at once. If there wasn’t a lack of spiritual energy in this world now, Xiao Yun would have wanted to accept her as his disciple.
However, Xiao Yun also had a solution. He found a book about physiognomy and palmistry in his space. The book had both pictures and texts. If he couldn't read it and couldn't compare it, he would be able to do it if he read it more.
She just threw it to the three of them to study. Believe it or not, the results were much more significant. The three of them counted all the people in the mansion and came back excitedly to tell her that it was so accurate!
……
After all, she was not the legitimate hostess of the Duwei Mansion, so even if someone invited her to attend some banquets from time to time during this period, Xiao Yun would politely refuse.
Of course, there were also occasions that she really couldn't refuse, such as the visit to the County Magistrate's Mansion. She would go there alone and would not bring her two daughters with her.
She didn't want others to mistakenly think that she wanted to introduce her two daughters to other places and find rich husbands for her daughters here.
She really looked down upon this place. Not only was it remote, it was also not rich, and there were strong winds and sand. It was a bitter and cold place.
Of course, if the two sisters find someone themselves, she will not object. She will only test the other party's character. It will be fine as long as their family background is similar, as long as they are not deceived. She is not the kind of feudal patriarch who insists on being well-matched.
But the two daughters were very obedient and not the type to rebel and go against their parents, so she felt that in the end it might still depend on their parents' orders and the matchmaker's words.
She also knew that those people invited her to the banquet not to make friends with her, the captain's cousin, but purely to introduce a wife to Yuan through her.
Although A Yuan looked quite old, after all, he transformed into the appearance of a middle-aged man, but he held an official position and had no parents-in-law above him. He was the mistress of the house as soon as he entered the house. Even if he had a few concubines, that was normal. He was still very popular in the marriage market.
But A Yuan himself didn't want to look for it and didn't want to waste other people's time, so Xiao Yun could only make an excuse.
Because of this, she offended several wives of officials. Every time they met, they were sarcastic to her, which made her too lazy to deal with them afterwards.
Just as the days passed slowly and Xiao Yun thought he would have to stay in Fanyang County for a few more years, A Yuan's transfer order came again a year later.
This time the order was given by the Emperor of Qi, who ordered him to take over the post of Governor of Yuzhou. This was skipping several levels. Could it be that the emperor was also controlled by the system?
Xiao Yun thought so and asked the same question. A Yuan's mouth twitched and he dropped a bombshell on her, "The current emperor of Qi is Yaoyao."
"what?"
Xiao Yun was confused. He had never heard of any rebellion. When did the dynasty change?
Isn't Yaoyao still messing around in Yanshui County? She said before that she was busy integrating the army and was going to follow the male protagonist's path. The first country the male protagonist attacked was the State of Chen.
Seeing that she couldn't believe it, Yuan directly handed the letter to her.
Xiao Yun took the letter and read it carefully. The expression on his face changed from shock to disbelief to speechlessness and numbness. He didn't know what to say.
This system is really awesome. It actually controls a prince who holds military power and is the uncle of the current emperor.
Originally, this imperial uncle had only three daughters and no sons. Later, he was injured on the battlefield and was unable to have children anymore.
It was also because of this that he withdrew from the fight for the throne, and his military power was never taken back after his brother and nephew ascended the throne, because they believed that since he had no sons, he would definitely serve them wholeheartedly.
The system did not tamper with the prince's memory, but it made him have no doubts and believe that Yaoyao was born from his sexual intercourse with a peasant girl during the war.
Now that he has a son and holds military power, and the current emperor is cowardly and incompetent and can't do anything, what else is he waiting for but to usurp the throne?
They didn't make any big noise, nor did they need to raise any troops. They simply joined forces with court officials to force the emperor to abdicate during the morning court session.
The main reason was that the court officials couldn't stand the current emperor, including the previous emperor, who often took princesses for marriage, ceded land and paid compensation, and did not allow anything except his own enjoyment.
Add to that the talents displayed by Yaoyao, and with Shen Qingchen and his system plug-in, is there anything to say about the result?
That's right, Shen Qingchen was controlled by the system, and the skills he learned through the system came in handy and could help Yaoyao a lot.
It can be said that in the eyes of outsiders, Shen Qingchen is Yaoyao's strongest aide.
Yaoyao has no grudge against the male protagonist, and he is not going to abandon him. After all, once he learns those abilities, they will directly become the male protagonist's. Besides, he still has some halo around him, so he plans to continue to use the male protagonist and put him in the most suitable position.
A Yuan had mentioned before that Xiao Yun was with him, so Yaoyao also mentioned her in the letter.
Tell her not to worry, he will slowly promote her current husband, his cheap stepfather, and her brothers and sisters.
Of course Xiao Yun was not in a hurry. Her son had already become the emperor, so why should she be in a hurry? Good days were still to come.
I don’t know if it was Yaoyao who controlled the system, and the Heavenly Dao took back some of the origin. In the second year, the disaster in Yuzhou was alleviated, and it started to rain in Yanshui County in spring.
It is not just a saying that spring rain is as precious as oil. Without winter snow, the harvest will be stable with spring rain.
Yaoyao left some people behind in Yanshui County, and A Yuan also left some people behind in Fanyang County. They were none other than Deputy General Hu and Yu Haisheng.
Yu Haisheng handed over the escort agency to his son, and he was promoted to A Yuan's side. After he left, Lieutenant General Hu would take over the position of captain, and Yu Haisheng would be the deputy general.
