Chapter 723 Helping the Grandson is Helping Yourself
The news that Xiaolong was the crown prince Zhao Yi exploded from Qinghe Bay like a landmine.
The bombing continued all the way to the provincial capital.
The country roads of Qinghe Bay were crowded with horse-drawn carriages. County magistrates from all over the country, officials from the prefecture, and patriarchs of local prominent families...all came to pay their respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is welcomed by the Emperor, has a promising future, and everyone wants to make a political investment.
Except for County Magistrate Liu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not see anyone. He did accept the gifts they sent and ordered Su Chengmin to register them and let Tong Huaqiong, Su Fuzi and others choose them first. The rest would be distributed to the villagers of Qinghe Bay.
Every villager in Qinghewan was eager to kowtow to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
The emperor was grateful to the villagers of Qinghewan for taking care of his grandson, so he gave each household in Qinghewan one hundred taels of silver as a reward.
Together with the rewards given by the Crown Prince, every family became well-off.
The village chief Liu Tielian laughed so hard that his teeth were exposed.
In his heart, he worshipped all the gods and Buddhas, praying for their blessing to help the crown prince ascend the throne.
In the future, Qinghe Bay will be prominently mentioned in history books, and as the village chief, wouldn't he also be able to gain a good reputation?
The head of the Gu family and Old Man Gu regretted so much that their teeth were aching.
Who would have thought that the so-called illegitimate child was actually a dragon.
If I had known this earlier, I would have allowed Zhao Yi to join the Gu family ancestral hall.
He is obviously the adopted son of the Gu family, but now it seems that he has little relationship with the Gu family.
The rewards they received were similar to those received by other families in the village.
The Crown Prince did not give them any preferential treatment just because their surname was Gu.
Zhao Yi didn't seem to be very friendly to the Gu family. After his identity was revealed, the prince spoke to Grandpa Gu and Gu Youtian, and he asked them not to interfere in Aunt Xiaoxue's marriage in the future.
Grandpa Gu and Gu Youtian could only listen with trepidation.
After Zhao Yi met County Magistrate Liu, Tong Huaqiong realized that County Magistrate Liu had already known the identity of the Crown Prince.
When County Magistrate Liu was young and studying and traveling, he met the prince, who was disguised as a student to experience the suffering of the people. The two became close friends.
Drink together, climb together, and talk about ideals together.
After the former crown prince was executed, County Magistrate Liu felt that all his ideals were shattered, until he learned of the existence of the crown prince's bloodline, his ideals were rekindled.
County Magistrate Liu came out of the house with tears in his eyes and told Tong Huaqiong that he would be transferred back to Shengjing next year, and then his mother and Tong Huaqiong would be able to see each other often again.
Some things are better seen than spoken.
County Magistrate Liu was the late crown prince's man, so he was naturally loyal to the crown prince.
As Gu Jingzhe is Zhao Yi's third uncle among the common people, he will be classified as a member of the Crown Prince's party even if he does not stand on the Crown Prince's side, so he can only firmly support the Crown Prince.
From now on, we are all in the same boat, and we will prosper together and suffer together.
"Little dragon."
"Xiaolong, we are here to see you."
"What little dragon? Call him His Royal Highness the Grandson."
The classmates of Qinghewan Private School rushed to Tong Huaqiong's house to look for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Everyone is still used to calling him Xiaolong.
They brought wild fruits picked from the mountains, eggs laid by chickens, ducks and geese at home, and various country toys, all of which were farewell gifts for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
They didn't care whether Zhao Yi was the crown prince or not. In their hearts, Zhao Yi was just a playmate and classmate.
Before he could get close, he was stopped by a group of guards.
Zhao Yi ordered the guards to leave and smiled at the group of furry kids.
The children did not feel any sense of oppression in front of the Crown Prince. They all came up to ask him if he would come back after he left.
Tong Huaqiong looked at the innocent smiles of these children and felt deeply moved.
Life in Qinghe Bay will be a beautiful memory in Taisun's life, and these classmates will be a beautiful existence in his memory.
From now on, the days will be full of hardships.
"Even if Xiaolong doesn't come back, we can go to Shengjing to find him." Yao Jia said.
"Shenyang is so far away, how can we get there?" asked Liu Tielian's grandson.
Yao Jia puffed out his chest and said, "Learn from Uncle Jingzhe, study hard and go to Beijing to take the imperial examination, then you can see Xiaolong."
Zhao Yi smiled and whispered to the Yao family, "Okay then, I'll wait for you in Shengjing."
He had meant to say that he would be waiting for them in the throne room.
In the end, I didn't say it.
Tong Huaqiong calculated in her mind that Yao's family was currently second only to Gu Jingzhe as the child who was most familiar with New Year customs in the Gu family. He was hundreds of times better than Yao Zu.
Maybe when the Yao family goes to Beijing to take the exam, it will be Zhao Yi who will be standing in the Golden Palace and setting the test questions.
The children chattered and laughed, imagining the scene of going to Beijing to take the exam and meet Xiaolong in the future.
"I want to meet Master Su." Zhao Yi said.
"Master Su is in a private school." Yao Jia said.
So the children surrounded Zhao Yi and went to the private school.
It is said that Master Su met Zhao Yi alone and the two talked for a long time. It is not known what Zhao Yi and Master Su said. When they came out again, Master Su was willing to follow Zhao Yi to Beijing.
Tong Pandi was caught off guard by Master Su's decision, and he quickly ran to discuss it with Tong Huaqiong.
Tong Huaqiong asked, "Apart from Master Su's decision, do you want to go to Shengjing?"
Tong Pandi smiled and said, "It's a lie to say I don't want to go. Who doesn't want to go to Shengjing to see the world? What's the point of staying in Yanguan Town all my life? I'm just afraid that if I go to Shengjing, what will happen to the pig farm?"
Tong Huaqiong said: "The pig farm at home will be handed over to the village chief. You can also do breeding when you arrive in Shengjing."
Tong Pandi's eyes lit up and he said, "In that case, I'll make some arrangements. I'll go to Shengjing with my aunt."
Tong Pandi said this and went to call the village chief to discuss the matter.
After marrying Master Su, the more Tong Pandi got to know him, the more he felt it was a pity for Master Su to be a teacher in a rural private school.
Since Master Su was invited by the Crown Prince to be a teacher in Shengjing, she would fully support Master Su.
As for herself, she would not stand behind Master Su. She could still do business and develop the breeding industry.
She didn't believe that people in Shengjing didn't eat delicious pork.
She has found a way out in Qinghe Bay, but Huaer Duoer is afraid that when she grows up she will be criticized for having a mother who divorced and remarried, so it is better for her to take this opportunity to go to Shengjing together.
Once they arrived in Shengjing, the sky was high and the land was vast, and their two daughters would no longer be criticized or troubled.
The village chief was entrusted by Tong Huaqiong to manage the pig farm, and he was so happy that he almost kowtowed to Tong Huaqiong.
Tong Huaqiong's pig farm employs a lot of labor in the village. This pig farm alone has brought many ways to make money to the village.
Now Tong Huaqiong has handed over the pig farm to him, which shows that she values him and is paving the way for him to become the village chief.
"Don't worry, I can definitely manage the pig farm well." said Village Chief Liu.
Tong Huaqiong has so many industries in Ningcheng. Every year, the shopkeepers will go to Shengjing to report to Tong Huaqiong and reconcile accounts. As the manager of the rural pig farm, he will naturally go as well.
At that time, he can go to Shengjing at public expense. It’s a wonderful thought.
If Master Su goes to Shengjing, Qinghe Bay will be short of a master.
Through the introduction of Master Su, a teacher who once taught at Wanliu Academy was brought to Qinghe Bay.
This teacher was known for his knowledge and good temper. Now that he was old, he wanted to find a village to teach the village students.
For the people of Qinghewan, it doesn’t matter if the teacher has a bad temper, as long as he is knowledgeable.
Tong Huaqiong expanded the free funding for talented children in the clan to include outstanding students attending the Qinghewan rural private school, regardless of whether their surname was Gu or not, and whether they were from Qinghewan or not.
The purpose is to pave the way for the future crown prince.
Zhao Yi will sit on the throne in the future, so he should start training the talents under him from now on.
After all, the Crown Prince and she are tied together, and helping the Crown Prince is also helping herself.
