Chapter 553: Don ‘t Take the Danger

“Crash!”
Ji Hong was so angry that he swept the things on the table onto the ground.
The eunuch beside him was so frightened that he fell to his knees.
“If Gu Ying goes to the border, what about Ming Yue? Does he not care about Ming Yue anymore?
“How dare General Song make such a decision!”
General is doing this for you, the Emperor’s son-in-law.
MO Yu only dared to say this in his heart for General Song.
The only thing to blame was that the Liu family was too despicable. They had
to collude with the foreign bandits at this time. If it was a day later, wouldn’t Gu Ying have married Princess Ming Yue and caused him to suffer an undeserved disaster here.
“This subordinate is willing to help General Xue!”
MO Yu had no choice but to come up with this move, hoping to appease the emperor.
“Men!”
Two more men in black appeared in the room. They were also Dragon Shadow Guards.
“My Lord!”
“I order the three of you to go to the border to assist Gu Ying. You must secretly ensure that his life is not in danger.”
He was not concerned about Gu Ying. He was afraid that his sister would become a widow again and he would have to take the blame. He would not take the blame!
“Yes, sir!”
MO Yu and the other two said in unison.
MO Yu was touched. The Emperor always said how much he hated Gu Ying, but in the end, he couldn’t bear to see anything happen to him. Even the three of them were sent to protect him. Their Emperor was really the best brother-in-law in the world.
Nine months later
Another year of spring and autumn
Chun Hua took the account book from Wang Tiezhu and returned to the second courtyard of the princess’ manor.
At this moment, MO Ruyue, Granny Rong, Granny Yan, and Aunt Zhou were sitting under a grape rack, studying something.
“Princess, Village Chief Wang said that the county magistrate had sorted out this. Please have a look at the cotton harvest of Lianshan County this year.”
MO Ruyue took the account book from Chun Hua’s hands and flipped through it.
The geographical distribution of the entire county was different, so the cotton production income varied. The lowest was about 300 catties, and the highest was about 500 catties. It was considered a high yield.
Seventy percent of these people were taken in by her, and the remaining thirty percent were freely sold or kept by the farmers.
“Have the furthest ones in the entire county be delivered by tomorrow night. Have the people in the cotton clothing workshop be on their toes from tomorrow onwards.”
“They could recruit more workers from outside and divide them into two batches to work day and night. They had to finish it within half a month.”
“Yes. ”
Chun Hua followed MO Ruyue’s instructions and ran out again.
“Princess, please try it on.”
In Granny Rong’s hands was a dark green, soft) and thin modified version of the cheongsam. There was also a pair of cotton pants and a single-material dress.
They had spent two days researching this.
“It’s really beautiful.”
MO Ruyue took it and went into the room to change. When she came out, everyone was stunned!
“This is really too beautiful!”
“It fits so well!”
“So this is what simple luxury looks like!”
The medium-long cotton coat reached up to the knees and the thighs were split open. This style of clothing would not be a hindrance even if he was riding a horse. The lower body was matched with the same style of cotton pants, and the outer cover was a dress of the same color. It was a perfect match!
“Princess, you’re so beautiful!”
MO Ruyue also felt that her outfit was very beautiful. She had designed it herself with the wisdom of her ancestors. How could it not look good? “Wow, Sister-in-law, what are you wearing? It’s so beautiful!”
Xue Qing came over with a chubby baby who was six or seven months old.
Then, Qin Qingfei came with a baby that was still one or two months old.
Xue Qing was carrying her son while Qin Qingfei was carrying her daughter.
“Aiya, Sister-in-law looks so good in this dress. It’s a cotton-padded jacket, right?”
MO Ruyue twirled in front of them.
“Isn’t it nice?
“It’s winter, so you should wear warm clothes.”
“Alright, I’ll go change first. It’s really hot.”
MO Ruyue came out after changing into thin clothes. Granny Rong folded the clothes neatly.
“Sister-in-law, are you really planning to go to the border?”
“What if you go to the border and come back?”
Today, Xue Qing and Qin Qingfei came together mainly because MO Ruyue was going to the border.
They wanted to persuade MO Ruyue not to take the risk. After all, she was a woman and it was inconvenient for her to travel.
“Isn’t that even better? It means that I’m a lucky star.”
“Alright, I’ve made up my mind. You don’t have to say anything else. I’m definitely going.”
“I’ve been preparing those things for nine months. I didn’t want to use them, but it seems that they really can be used.”
Xue Qing and Qin Qingfei could not persuade her anymore.
In these nine months, she had been in close contact with Gu Ying through letters.
MO Ruyue didn’t remember Gu Ying’s usual sweet nothings very clearly. She only knew that the border was cold and bitter. Half of the year was winter.
This was also the reason why MO Ruyue ordered the entire Lianshan County to grow cotton this year.
There were even many people who planted cotton in their grain fields.
Of course, even if all the land in Lianshan County was planted with cotton, it might not be enough for the soldiers at the border. It was still possible to temporarily respond to an emergency. In addition to the duck down collected in the past year, it was enough to make cotton down jackets for the soldiers at the border.
Even if these soldiers could not be used this time, they could still be used in the future. There were many soldiers at the border. They could not protect the country and had to suffer from hunger and cold.
Who knew that this battle would take so long? According to the current situation, it would take at least one or two months to end.
Two months ago, she had asked someone to start making the outer cover of the cotton down jacket. Now that the cotton was down, she could just fill it with cotton and duck down according to the ratio.
Granny Rong and the others couldn’t control MO Ruyue. All they could do was help her prepare more things that she could use.
With so many of them, only Chun Hua, who had some fighting skills, would be able to go with them. The others would have to stay at home.
MO Ruyue was as busy as a spinning top in September.
She was busy helping the villagers open their shops, her own shop, the women who studied medicine, the village’s inn, and the herbal medicine shop.
What MO Ruyue did not expect was that the medicinal cuisine shop, which she did not have much hope for, had suddenly become popular. Most of the customers were outsiders.
He would visit Gu Ying’s Civil and Martial Arts School from time to time because the two girls at home, especially Tang Tang, would always go to the Civil and Martial Arts School to eavesdrop on his lessons. No matter what he said, he could not stop them.
According to Tang Tang’s thoughts, why should her uncle, brother, and the other students be allowed to study while she and her aunt could only wait at home to grow up and take care of their husbands and children when they got married?
MO Ruyue agreed with what he said. So, she teamed up with Xue Qing, Qin Qingfei, and Qin Rouwan to build a school for girls in the village.
This made Tang Tang and Qin Qingshuang very happy.
She had thought that in the first two years of school, there would definitely not be many people willing to send their girls to school. However, she did not expect that as long as there were girls in West River Village, they would all send them. Gradually, many girls from other villages also sent them.
Fortunately, MO Ruyue did not have to do these things personally. She only needed to go and inspect occasionally. Now, the reputation of the Women’s College was completely handed over to Granny Rong and Granny Yan.
Even Doctor Luo Quan from the hospital could assist the two nannies in supervising them.
Qin Qingfei was in charge of the inn and the herbal medicine shop in the village. If things didn’t go well, Xue Qing would help.
Gu Ying’s Civil and Martial Arts Institute would not have any major problems tor the time being, but he did not have the intention ot sending people out. Anyway, Gu Ying was on the battlefield, so it was not considered a breach of contract with the Emperor. As for the rest, he would wait for him to come back and reorganize himself..
