The whole family travels through time: escape from famine! No cheat codes yet!

Chapter 561 Fortunately, it’s my own pig.

But Shen Zhiqiu resigned, and the court was in chaos.

Putting aside the question of how Lord Mao and Lord Wei would react to his resignation, Prince Yan, who had just finished his court session in the morning, also knew about this.

The old prince was so old that he was so angry that he threw many memorials.

Look, several important officials of the court are sitting in the imperial study with their heads down and keeping silent.

King Yan sat on the upper throne with a gloomy look on his face.

The Prince of Yan sighed and had to break the deadlock: "Have you investigated clearly why Shen Zhiqiu didn't do it?"

Only Lord Wei knows the truth about this matter, so he can only bite the bullet and answer:

"According to the people below, a manager of the warehouse office brought up the matter of Lord Shen refusing marriages for his children, and Lord Shen heard it.

This person in charge had a quarrel with Lord Shen before, and I punished him at that time.

But before leaving the yamen yesterday, Lord Shen suddenly came to me and said that the war in the north had been settled, and it was time for him to go back and study with peace of mind."

Lord Mao also sighed: "Your Highness, this capable person has a stubborn temper and must prove himself with real ability!"

But the Minister of Industry was trying hard to hold back his laughter. He had never managed to rob Mao before, but this time the North was completely pacified.

If the prince recruits Shen Zhiqiu back, their Ministry of Works will have a chance.

Prince Yan was angry, but he was also angry at the lack of tact of his subordinates. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that someone like Shen Zhiqiu would definitely be reused.

Moreover, he had not received any reward for all his previous contributions. We had been planning to give him a promotion after the Northern Expedition Army returned triumphantly, but this incident caught him off guard.

But it has happened, and we have to find a way to solve it.

"Tell me, how do we solve this problem?"

It was Prime Minister Ning who stepped out and said, "Your Highness, it's fine to resign. What we discussed before may be an opportunity."

As for what it was, the King of Yan and the ministers in the court had discussed it before.

Wait for the Northern Expedition Army to return victoriously and take advantage of the victory.

The Prince of Yan gave up his throne and let the Crown Prince of Yan establish his own country. At that time, the Crown Prince of Yan would become the emperor.

Then they would have the right to reopen the imperial examinations and select talented people for the court.

Moreover, the King of Yan chose to abdicate first and let the crown prince establish the country because he wanted to leave some time for the northern border to prepare.

Because as long as he is alive, he is the elder, King Lin, that is, the new emperor of Lin State, and cannot attack the northern border without sufficient reasons.

But if he really died suddenly someday, although they could prepare in advance, the people in the North would inevitably be in turmoil.

At this time, as long as the prince established a country and became the emperor of Dayan, he could legitimately confer a title on Shen Zhiqiu.

Moreover, they also believed that Shen Zhiqiu's contributions were more than enough to make him an earl, even if he could not be made a marquis.

In this way, he will never be able to run away again. After all, if you give him an official position, he can resign, but if you give him a title, he is just a figurehead and has to be available whenever you call.

After hearing what Prime Minister Ning said, several ministers also smiled slightly. It can only be said that they are all old foxes.

Of course, Shen Zhiqiu of Tangjia Village himself had no idea about the psychological activities of the bigwigs in the court.

Because he has never had a happy day since he resigned and returned home.

There were too many matchmakers, and several of them came to the house in one day.

Even Shen Youyou was affected.

It's not that there was no gain, because several unmarried men and women in the family actually found their partners.

The first one is that Tang Xin is going to be Shen Youyou's sister-in-law. The main reason is that Tang Xin's mother has taken a fancy to Li Dahu and comes to Li Jingshu in person to ask him some questions.

Li Jingshu thought that Tang Xin was a pretty girl, kind-hearted, and outgoing, and she could get along well with the other girls in the family.

I called Da Hu to ask him about it alone. He blushed and said, "It's up to my godfather and godmother to decide."

This means you agree. What else is there to say? Li Jingshu thought about it and decided to find someone to mediate.

The main thing is the current rules. There is no one, it is not polite, it is all about parents' orders and matchmaker's words!

Matchmaker Liu is a nice person, so let her earn some money for free and act as a middleman in this matter.

But maybe Dahu has decided, Li Jingshu thought, Erhu is also old enough, so he should call him over and ask him as soon as possible.

Erhu has been thinking about Taohua for a long time, but he never dared to say it.

When asked this question, my face looked a little unnatural.

Li Jingshu looked at that expression, is there something going on?

"Erhu, if you really have a girl you like, just tell me honestly, and don't worry about your status. We have always treated you and Dahu as our sons.

As for whether you regard me and Lao Shen as your parents, that's up to you."

When Erhu heard this, he immediately knelt down and said, "Godmother, my elder brother and I will definitely treat you and godfather as our new parents."

Li Jingshu was amused by his naivety:

"Then what can you not say in front of your own parents? If there is a girl you really like, and you hide it from others, and the girl is engaged to someone else, you will regret it."

To be honest, Erhu's psychological activities are really complicated at this moment. At the same time, he feels that he is not worthy, but at the same time, he feels that this may be the closest he has ever been to romance.

If you miss it, you may just be able to wish it well.

A man knelt there, his mind was too confused, his mind was full of peach blossoms, and finally he gritted his teeth and said: "My... Godmother, I want to marry my cousin."

Li Jingshu was startled: "Who?"

Was she hallucinating or what?

The main reason was that it was so unexpected. The cousin Erhu was talking about was Taohua, right?

Why didn't I notice that this guy had this idea before?

"Tell me again, who did you just say? I didn't hear it clearly."

But Erhu misunderstood, and felt cold in his heart: "Godmother, do you also think that I am wishful thinking? That's right, am I not wishful thinking?"

He was lost in his thoughts and didn't say anything for a while, but Shen Youyou, who was eavesdropping under the window, could no longer hold back.

"Brother Erhu, you are so unkind. You are thinking about my sister Taohua."

Shen Luming also poked his head out from behind his sister: "Mom, my brother Erhu is talking about Sister Taohua."

After saying this, she covered her mouth with her hands and grinned slyly.

This time Li Jingshu really heard it clearly. He rolled his eyes at his two troublesome kids and stood up to help Erhu up.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier, kid? Your aunt has also been looking for a peach blossom these days. If you were any later, you would have just been watching."

"Godmother, don't you think I'm unworthy?"

I didn't expect that someone like Erhu could be so cautious, but he was still taught a lesson by Li Jingshu.

"What do you mean by unworthy? Why are you unworthy? Although close relatives cannot marry, you are my godson and have no real blood relationship with Taohua.

However, I can only say that I'm going to get your aunt's help, but I can't promise you anything! After all, when it comes to marriage, a forced marriage is not a happy one!"

"Thank you godmother!"

The two of them were there, arm in arm with each other, acting out their deep mother-son love, while Shen Youyou sat on the doorstep, feeling conflicted.

Although, if Brother Erhu really married Sister Taohua, Sister Taohua would not have to marry far away and would become his sister-in-law.

They are close relatives.

But I feel like the good cabbages I grew were eaten by my own pigs.

I was unwilling to see my good cabbage being taken away by others, but I was also a little relieved that it was my own pig.
