She originally chose to join Lin Xuan because she wanted to use the Lin family's status to help Guo Caiyue marry into a good family.
If she wanted Guo Caiyue to be a concubine, given Guo Caiyue's appearance, why should she seek refuge with Lin Xuan.
Except for her family background, Guo Caiyue is no worse than those ladies from wealthy families.
Lin Xuan was a marquis, and with Guo Caiyue's status, she could barely accept being Lin Xuan's concubine.
But Lin Xuan wants to marry the princess, and the princess has the final say whether he can take a concubine.
Guo Caiyue knelt on the ground with a plop and cried: "Grandma, I really know that I was wrong. You have to leave. When I come back from Lingnan to protect Mr. Hou, if grandma wants to leave, I will go with grandma."
"Since you are willing to come with me, why do you have to wait until you come back from Lingnan?" Guo Lanhua said.
Guo Caiyue cried: "The Marquis has offended many people, and those people want to kill the Marquis. Someone will definitely assassinate the Marquis when I go to Lingnan this time. I want to protect him."
Guo Lanhua felt very distressed when she saw Guo Caiyue crying so sadly.
"Okay, we will leave when you come back from Lingnan to protect him this time." Guo Lanhua said.
Guo Caiyue is sinking deeper and deeper. It is not a good thing to continue like this.
She would rather take Guo Caiyue back to her original place and let her marry an ordinary person.

Early the next morning, Lin Xuan came to Zhuangzi with the things prepared by Lin Dongyang.
The servants were distributing things there, and Lin Xuan called Zhou Mancang aside and asked: "Zhou Lizheng, have you found all the people I asked you to find for me?"
"Back to the Marquis, we have found them all. They are not the only children in the family." Zhou Mancang said.
Lin Xuan nodded and said: "You have to make it clear to them that going to sea has certain dangers. If someone is unwilling, they don't have to go."
In some novels, it is said that the most feared person when going to sea is scurvy.
Because you cannot bring too many vegetables and fruits on a long voyage, if you do not eat vegetables and fruits for a long time, you will be deficient in vitamins. Once a person is deficient in vitamins, he will develop scurvy.
In order to prevent this situation, the protagonist also found some high-vitamin fruits and asked the crew to bring them.
In fact, these are all nonsense. Vegetables are not easy to preserve. How long can fruits be stored?
It often takes several months to go to sea, and all the fruits will rot.
In fact, during ancient Chinese voyages, a large amount of pickles and pickles were carried with them. In addition, Chinese people also have the habit of drinking green tea, which also contains vitamins. Our unique eating habits of Orientals avoided the problem of scurvy in the fleet.
For example, the crew of Zheng He's voyages brought beans with them before the voyage, soaked the bean sprouts on the ship and ate them, and promptly supplemented with vitamins and other trace elements. In addition, Zheng He's fleet in the Ming Dynasty had many sailors from Yangzhou and other Jiangnan people, and the locals liked it.
Drink green tea.
Therefore, there was no problem with scurvy in Chinese navigation.
The real danger is the weather and technical backwardness.
Although the ancients relied on some conditions to predict the weather, they were not particularly accurate.
In addition, the ship at this time cannot withstand too much wind and waves, which is the biggest danger in navigation.
Lin Xuan couldn't solve these problems.
Lin Xuan advocates long voyages, and finding wealth is a matter of time.
What's more important is to let some people see the benefits and set their sights on the sea.
"Back to the Marquis, I have told them that they are all voluntary." Zhou Mancang said.
"I will ask someone to send fifty guan to them soon, and you will give one guan to their family so that they can have a good year," Lin Xuan said.
"I would like to thank Mr. Hou on their behalf." Zhou Mancang said.
…
When he got home, Lin Ping told him that Xu Geng was here and waiting for him in the living room.
Lin Xuan was a little strange. Xu Geng came once a few days ago, why did he come again?
The college is on holiday, so there is nothing to do now.
Arriving at the hall, Xu Geng was sitting there drinking tea.
Lin Xuan smiled and said: "You came to me just to drink tea, right? Didn't I give you some?"
"The Marquis is joking. I'm here to ask the Marquis. The books are almost no longer piled up anymore. When will the Marquis plan to sell them?" Xu Geng said.
Lin Xuan patted his forehead and said, "I forgot about the books. How many books have been printed now?"
"The first three books sent by the Marquis were each printed in tens of thousands of copies, and the subsequent books were sent in tens of thousands of copies each," Xu Geng said.
"I didn't expect there were so many. I will notify people to collect books." Lin Xuan said.
After sending Xu Geng away, Lin Xuan called Lin Ping and asked him to send someone to notify He Xinmin to arrange for someone to take the book back and arrange the sale as soon as possible.

Xue Yantuo
Yi Nan warmly entertained Hou Junji. After the banquet, Hou Junji was supported by his own soldiers and returned to the arranged camp.
After Hou Junji left, the drunkenness in Yi Nan's eyes faded, and all he drank was water, not wine at all.
Yi Nan looked at the leaders of various ministries and asked, "What do you think of Datang's credential?"
"Great Khan, I think the Tang Dynasty is really bluffing. Tribes have come to the Tang Dynasty to plunder every year for so many years. When did the Tang Dynasty send an envoy?"
"I think so too. When the Tang Dynasty sent envoys, they obviously did not have the ability to send troops, and they wanted to give an explanation to their people, so they sent people here."
"I don't think so. Hou Junji is a confidant and favorite of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he is also a prince. If the Tang Dynasty just wanted to show off, why would he send him here? I think we should be careful and guard against the Tang Dynasty."
"Yes, Great Khan, maybe Hou Jun came here just to confuse us, but in fact he was the general sent by the Tang Dynasty to attack us secretly. The Han people are the most treacherous. The Eastern Turks were attacked by the Tang Dynasty in the first place.
Perished."
As soon as Yi Nan finished speaking, there was a burst of discussion in the big room.
Yi Nan frowned slightly. He began to think that the Tang Dynasty was bluffing. After all, it was not that the Tang Dynasty had never violated the border for so many years, but the Tang Dynasty always directly sent more troops to the border. This was the first time that it sent people like this.
But as some people have said, the Han people often use conspiracy and tricks. Who knows if this is a conspiracy of the Han people?
For a moment, Yi Nan couldn't understand Datang's intention.
Asghar smiled and said: "Great Khan, it is actually very simple to understand the purpose of Datang."
Asghar is Yi Nan's loyal supporter and his military advisor.
Seeing what Asghar said, Yi Nan quickly asked: "Military advisor, do you have any good ideas?"
"Great Khan, we are not the only ones who plundered the Tang Dynasty. Didn't the Western Turks also plunder? The Tang Dynasty did not have the strength to attack us and the Western Turks at the same time. If Hou Junji left Xue Yantuo and went to the Western Turks, then it should be
It's a bluff. If not, then beware of Datang. It's best to gather Hou Jun..." Ashar said it was best to gesture with his hand in front of his neck.
After hearing the previous words, Yi Nan felt that what Asghar said was very reasonable, but when he heard that he was going to attack Hou Junji, he hesitated a little.
If Hou Junji was killed, the Tang Dynasty would definitely retaliate. In this way, he would not only have to be prepared for the Western Turks to attack him, but also be prepared for the Tang Dynasty to attack him secretly.
Seeing Yi Nan's hesitation, Asghar knew what he was worried about and said: "If Hou Junji does not go to the Western Turks, it is very likely that the Tang Dynasty will send the general to the border. If he is not eliminated, he may bring him with him at any time."
The soldiers came to beat us."
After hearing this, Yi Nan's hesitation disappeared and he said: "I will do as you say, but before that, no one can offend him, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
During this time, he felt that the positions of some tribal leaders were very unstable, and he was worried that some people had secretly taken refuge with the Western Turks.
If those people send people to assassinate Hou Junji, no matter whether they succeed or not, they will be blamed on him.
