I went crazy after I became a female villain

Chapter 117 Focus on selling yourself and boasting

After explaining everything in detail, Lan Yao finally set off to return to the palace.

Because Feng Jin has always been elusive, Lan Yao, who had been hiding from him since he disappeared this time, didn't ask him carefully, but asked Chang Kai, who stayed behind, to tell her all the news about her return.

In order to avoid a sneak attack, Lan Yao still chose to divide into two groups. On the surface, Jin Linwei pretended to escort her back to Beijing, but in fact, she disguised herself with Ye Qingli and Chai Yu and took the first step.

Xuezhou is not far from Kyoto, and it was noon when passing through Wanxue Village. Seeing the smoke from the cooking here, Lan Yao couldn't help but stop and said:

"Qingli, since we're all here, why don't we go meet our old friends?"

"Ah, it seems that Yaoyao, you miss this meal very much?" Ye Qingli saw through Lan Yao's thoughts at a glance, and used her real name all the time to visit Lan Yao privately, so Ye Qingli did not avoid it. The meaning of the casual Chai Yu, tilted his head and smiled:

"However, if you do good deeds, it's okay to get some rewards! This Princess dislikes doing business at a loss the most in her life. Sister Xu Hui's craftsmanship is superb, so of course I want to eat this big meal!"

When Ye Qingli destroyed the camp and rescued Xu Shun, although he didn't know her identity as the princess, he still thanked her a thousand times, and said that he would invite them to have another homely meal when he said goodbye, although Ye Qingli didn't directly agree. But he also took this matter to heart.

This time, I just have this opportunity, so I might as well go and have a look.

Seeing that Ye Qingli readily agreed and Chai Yu had no objection, Lan Yao immediately decided to go.

Because this was an official visit, the three of Lan Yao and his party were too embarrassed to go over the wall of the house again, so they took a detour to avoid the villagers and knocked on the wooden door of Xu Shun's house.

"Who is it?" A rough answer came from the courtyard.

"I'm Lan Yao." Lan Yao replied politely, "We're leaving this place, and we're here to say goodbye to you."

"Here we come, we come!" The people in the house obviously recognized Lan Yao's identity when they heard Lan Yao's voice, and immediately opened the door happily. Seeing the three familiar people standing not far away, they greeted warmly: "Three The benefactor is here, hurry up, please come inside!"

Xu Hui, who came out of the back room with the curtain lifted, went to the yard. When she saw Lan Yao and Ye Qingli, she couldn't help but get red-eyed, knelt down in a daze, and directly bowed to the three of them:

"If there are no three benefactors to save each other, our family of three may not escape disaster this time. I don't want to thank you for your great kindness. Please benefactors accept a gift from my husband and wife."

Lan Yao was startled suddenly, and quickly pulled up the young couple who had made such a big gift to them, waved her hands repeatedly and said:
"Don't, I can't bear this great gift. Get up, get up, the credit is not all ours. If there is no wise decision by His Majesty, we may be powerless."

Ye Qingli didn't like these vain etiquette the most. Seeing Lan Yao secretly boasting, she immediately laughed and said:

"I don't need to say much to thank you, Sister Xu, we are here for dinner, Ah Shun kindly invites us, it would be inappropriate if we don't come!"

Having said all this, Xu Hui was both moved and happy, and when Zhang even hurried into the kitchen, she repeatedly said:

"Yeah, I've been preparing these ingredients since Ah Shun came back that day, the three benefactors will be later."

Xu Shun hurriedly welcomed the distinguished guests he had identified in his heart into the main room, served tea, and said awkwardly:

"This is the best tea I can buy. I'm a rough person and I don't know what it's called Biyun tea. I beg your benefactor not to dislike it."

Lan Yao watched the ups and downs of the green tea leaves in the small ceramic bowl, picked it up very naturally, took a sip, and said with a smile:

"Who said that only literati and elegant guests can drink tea? It's not interesting to drink like this. Besides, we don't care about these at all. You have done well enough."

Although Xu Shun didn't know the specific identities of the three people in front of him, he could guess from their clothes and the events that happened these days that they must be born with prominent backgrounds and outstanding talents.

However, although he probably had a clue in his heart, he still didn't ask any more questions. After all, they only wanted to be ordinary people, and they shouldn't set foot in the world of upper class people.

"It's good that the benefactor doesn't dislike it." Xu Shun was not good at such occasions, and was quite at a loss.

Lan Yao was the first to break the embarrassment, and deliberately said in addition to being polite:
"Then how are you and your wife doing recently? I heard that His Majesty visited Selangor in private. He not only punished corrupt officials, but also reduced taxes and canceled one-year corvee and hard labor. If this continues, I believe in your The days should be getting better and better."

Ye Qingli glanced at a certain Empress who was focused on selling herself and boasting, and was quite dumbfounded.

It seems that her good sister wants to see how her grades are!

"The benefactor's words are true. Who would have expected that Her Majesty the Queen would suddenly come to Selangor to clean up corruption! The gold mining case is raging like a turmoil, and I'm a little glad that I can come back alive."

Although Xu Shun was worried, but because of Lan Yao's question, he also took advantage of the situation and said with emotion:
"Perhaps, this world can be better. It is indeed a beneficial move for His Majesty to go to Xuezhou to eliminate thieves. If there is no decision of His Majesty's Sacred Heart, I am afraid that I will be the same as those miners who were silenced before. There is no chance to reunite with my wife!"

Probably because of the notorious reputation of the female tyrant Ning Shu, even though Xu Shun lived in such a remote place, he did not dare to talk too much about Her Majesty the current Empress, and finally said with great anticipation:
"No matter what, the days can be regarded as hopeful, and I hope the future will get better and better!"

Seeing that Xu Shun regained his confidence, Lan Yao felt a little relieved.

It seemed that everything she did was meaningful.

Even though it is impossible to change Ning Shu's notoriety overnight, at least she can break her inherent image in the hearts of the people with practical actions again and again.

This is worth it.

Lan Yao has always been a social cow, even though she and Xu Shun live in two very different worlds, they can still have something to talk about.

"That's good. Since His Majesty has reorganized the administration of officials and lightened the taxation, I think you can also reduce a lot of burdens. Now that sister Xu is pregnant, the family's hope is tied to you. Hunting is too dangerous. Ah Shun, can you help me?" Ever thought about doing something else for a living?"

When asking about Xu Shun's future plans, Lan Yao subtly incorporated the information she wanted to inquire into into the conversation, quietly inquiring for useful information.

After all, if one wanted to be a good emperor, one had to see all directions and listen to all directions. Now if she only worked behind closed doors in the palace, she would become more and more divorced from the common people.

Only on-site research and investigation can she grasp first-hand materials and information.

So, with Ye Qingli's cooperation, Lan Yao grasped the other party's psychology, abruptly turning the awkward opening into a very harmonious conversation.

Of course, she also got the information she wanted in the discussion, and based on this, she made proper analysis and due judgment.
