The medical concubine is blessed with good fortune and her husband's life is prosperous. The mo

However, everything in the house has changed drastically. The furniture is all made of pear wood, the ornaments are all exquisite and high-end, the screens are all inlaid with jade, the tea sets on the table are made of white jade, and the quilts on the bed are all made of silk.

A huge three-legged cloisonné enamel cauldron was placed in the room, and several pots of blooming wintersweet were placed in the room. These things were not available in Yizhou, but only in the palace's warehouse.

What's even more exaggerated is that all the walls have been made into mezzanines, the floors have been burnt, and thick carpets have been laid out, making the room as warm as spring.

It can be said that from the outside, this room looks like a rich farmer's home at best, but any item in this room is worth a fortune if you take it out.

This specification was purchased according to the rules of the palace. It was obvious that Butler Liu had brought people to arrange it in advance.

But the money spent was not from the Shen family. Otherwise, if she went home to celebrate the New Year this time, she would empty out the Jia family just like she did during the Lunar New Year celebrations.

Although the Jia Mansion built a Grand View Garden, and the Shen family only renovated this suite, just one thing in it would be enough for the Shen family to make a year's worth of money. The renovation of this suite was naturally spent by Hualing Prince's Mansion.

Yue Jian was very curious about this kind of suite room. He looked around in a circle and said with a smile:

"Families with a small population can live very comfortably in such a house! If I settle down in the future, I will also build a house like this."

Then he asked Shen Dongsu: "Princess, even a big house can design a suite like this, right? Why didn't you renovate Prince Ling's Mansion?"

Naturally, Shen Dongsu couldn't say it, because she wasn't the real Prince Ling's Mansion yet! The contract hasn't expired yet!

She had never thought about renovating Prince Ling's Mansion, and she didn't even interfere with the decoration of the bedroom. Maybe she felt deep down in her heart that she didn't belong anywhere!

I have seriously thought about how to build a small manor for retirement when I return to Gwangju after my contract expires.

But that was all in the past, and now, she is thinking about how to make that bitter cold place rich and prosperous after arriving in Youzhou.

I slept very soundly and sweetly during this nap. The bed was big and soft, and the quilt smelled of new cotton and sunshine.

The gauze on the window was green and transparent as if it had been soaked in water due to the large temperature difference between indoor and outdoor.

With the earth dragon and the charcoal basin, Shen Dongsu's feet were sweating under the quilt. You must know that she couldn't keep the quilt warm by herself in winter.

When she woke up, she heard rustling on the roof. This sound was very familiar to her. It was snowing.

When I got up and opened the window, I saw that the sky was like tearing cotton wool. The snow was not falling in pieces, but falling in clumps.

Yue Jian hurriedly came over and put a coat on her: "Princess, be careful of the wind."

Shen Dongsu listened intently, "No, that's not right. How could it be so quiet in the countryside during the day?"

In the past, in the Shen family, from the first rooster crow in the morning to the late night when the dogs stopped barking, it was noisy and noisy at all that day.

Why is it so quiet today? Didn't you say that all the relatives will come in the afternoon?

Could it be that this house has good sound insulation? She hurriedly asked: "Is everyone going out?"

Yue Jian chuckled and said: "The princess's family loves the princess very much! Mrs. Shen specially told me to be gentle and let you have a good sleep."

Shen Dongsu hurriedly put on his clothes and went out. As soon as he went out, he realized that the air outside the house was too fresh. Although there was the fragrance of wintersweet in the house, it was too dull because of the charcoal fire.

She asked Yue Jian to open the window for ventilation, and then went to the main room. When she walked to the corridor, she saw Xiaohu running into the house, shouting as he ran: "Master, Sister Dong Su is up."

What's funny is that he ran two steps and then turned around and came back. He greeted her without any hesitation. His face was as red as a red apple, either from cold or from embarrassment, and then he turned around and ran towards the main room.

Shen Dongsu wanted to laugh, but felt heavy in her heart. Now that she was celebrating the New Year at the Shen family, the whole family would treat her like a distinguished guest.

This is completely different from the New Year atmosphere she wants. She doesn’t need to stay at home any longer, so she can go to Youzhou after the New Year!

Rather than enjoying peace and happiness, she was born with a fatigue disease! There is no way. In the past life, I was too juan, and I couldn't change it no matter where I went.

Relatives and friends in the hall were waiting for her, but now the three aunts were surrounding Mo Xiujin. The third aunt was like a child, holding Mo Xiujin's hand and smiling dreamily:

"Xiao Pan is back."

The second aunt smiled heartily and said: "I know, I know, you have recited it eight hundred times this day, I know your little hope is back!"

The second aunt smiled at Mo Xiujin again and said, "You don't know that at the beginning of the year, I also forgot a day when your mother suddenly burst into tears."

"It must be said that Xiao Pan will never come back. I asked her how she knew? She said she dreamed about it!"

"Oh, I was really angry and wanted to be funny, so it took me a long time to coax her."

After the second aunt finished speaking, the three aunts all laughed. The third aunt also knew that she was ugly like that and cried like a lost child. But she was very scared that day because she dreamed that Xiao Pan said that he would not come back. .

Only Mo Xiujin, although smiling on his face, was sore in his heart. At the beginning of the year, he was seriously ill due to the plague and almost died among the Lu family rebels.

They say mother and son are connected, but he didn't expect that his mother, who was thousands of miles away, could sense it.

He held his mother's hand tightly and comforted him: "Don't worry, mom, Xiaopan will bring you a message even if he travels far away from home. No matter how far he goes, he will come home!"

The third aunt still smiled innocently, but the second aunt was stunned for a moment. Xiao Pan hated it when people called him Xiao Pan, and insisted on calling him the ugly and deadly "Xiu Jing".

Why do you call yourself Xiaopan today? It seems like this kid has suffered a lot outside!

Only when you endure hardship outside will you realize that the things you care about at home are nothing at all.

Just like some children who are picky eaters and vomit after one bite at home, their family takes care of their taste.

But when we get outside, hey, he’s such a picky eater! Then you are hungry.

Then you realize that you don’t have to choose anything and can eat everything.

Others will say that you have grown up. Only those who love you will feel sorry for you. You are suffering out there!

The reason why my aunt didn't go to the kitchen to help out as usual and also gathered around Mo Xiujin was because she was inquiring about Da Yu's situation.

Everyone went home to celebrate the New Year, except Da Yu who stayed in Yangzhou.

However, when Mo Xiujin sent the news about Da Yu becoming an official to Yuzhuang, he was relieved of the disappointment of Da Yu not being able to go home for the New Year. Not only his aunt and his family were happy, but the whole Yuzhuang was shocked.

Yuzhuang is a poor and small village. There are only about thirty households in the village, all with the surname Yu. The most promising young man in the village works as a yamen servant in Guangzhou County.

The second most promising person is the big fish, which refers to the previous big fish.

In the eyes of the villagers, he could learn carpentry from Father Shen, make money by working on a water tanker, and be responsible for collecting fish fry from Grandpa Shen's fish pond.

He is already a very promising young man!

The third most promising person is Damai, a girl from a family who can open a restaurant in the town and it is prosperous. Everyone in the village would not praise her!

Well, yes, Yuzhuang is much worse than Shenjia Village. There are not even a single child in the village. Therefore, although the aunt's family is poor, the eldest uncle is sick, and the aunt's eyesight is bad, the family is still considered a wealthy family in the village.

But now, with Da Yu becoming an official, there is still a rank, an eighth-rank official higher than the county magistrate!

The entire Yuzhuang was in awe of Yourong. Fortunately, Mo Xiujin ran fast, otherwise he would have been left in Yuzhuang to have a drink and wouldn't have been able to come today.

That's why my uncle didn't come today. He was taken to have a drink by the village chief. The village chief was already planning to revise the family tree and open a page for Big Fish...

My aunt asked Mo Xiujin where Da Yu lived in Yangzhou? How to eat? When he left, he didn't take a few cotton-padded clothes with him. He just became an official and didn't get a salary. I wonder if the money he had was enough to live on?

This is the cognitive limitation of rural people. If you tell a person in Chang'an, no one will worry about whether that so-and-so is the princess's cousin and he will have no money to eat!

But you told your aunt that Da Yu is Princess Ling’s cousin. Are you still worried that he won’t have money to eat?

The eldest aunt would only ask in confusion: "You are said to be Dong Su's cousin, but they will take care of his food? Dong Su has to pay even if he eats out by himself!"

So Mo Xiujin explained to his aunt seriously that Dong Su had a house in Yangzhou and had servants, and Da Yu would have nothing to live in there.

The aunt felt relieved now, and sighed, saying that she should give Da Yu a wife first, and the couple would go to Yangzhou together, and Da Yu would also have someone to take care of her.

The second aunt laughed and said that in the past, Dayu could only marry girls from the countryside, but now that he is an official, he can marry the daughter of an official. It would be better to marry later!

My aunt disagreed, and the reason was: "I heard that the rich lady doesn't know how to cook, make a bed, or weave and farm, so it's better to marry a farmer's girl!"

The second aunt was speechless, and at the same time she envied her eldest aunt. She also wondered if my family, Shanshan, would be destined to be an official in this life.

They all complained that this boy didn't like studying. If he could become a scholar and work for the prince like Xiu Jin, he would still worry about not getting an official position!

If Shanshan becomes an official, my Ayuan will also have a backer.

Now I am making wine for the prince. I wonder if there are any wine-making officials in the court?

I heard that there is an official called Ji Jijiu. I wonder if he is an official who is good at making wine?

The second aunt glanced at Xiao Pan and felt embarrassed to ask! Let Shanshan find out for himself.

After Shen Dongsu came in, she only said hello to her three aunts and exchanged a few words before being called away by Grandpa Shen, saying that Butler Liu was waiting for her in the study.

The study room is Zhongyang and Xiaohu's study room. Father Shen built two desks for the eldest brother, and now placed tall account books and boxes of various sizes.

As soon as Shen Dongsu came in, Butler Liu stood up and saluted, and said with a smile: "I shouldn't have come here to disturb the princess's family reunion. It's just that it's better to give these things to the princess as soon as possible."

He first took the account book of the perfume workshop, which was the most profitable. The ones with red seals were for sales in Daxia, and the ones with blue seals were for sales overseas.

The Jiang family's seagoing ship has only made a few trips to sea, but its profits are several times higher than those at home.

Then there are fine wines, cotton textile workshops, Liansuo hot pot restaurant, as well as the land for her dowry and the manor for the betrothal gift.

These are all her industries in Guangzhou. Although she only holds the dry shares in the perfume workshops, King Ling holds the majority.

But for Butler Liu, whether it is Prince Ling’s property or the princess’s property, it belongs to the princess!

The prince is going to Youzhou and will not be able to come back for several years. Can he hide it secretly and not give it to the princess?

Shen Dongsu adhered to the principle of employing people without trust and not using people who were suspicious. He trusted Butler Liu very much and did not send anyone to check the accounts at all. He only casually looked at the annual summary table.

Well, the income is very good. If her contract with King Ling still counts, then her agreement to help King Ling earn ten thousand yuan has been reached.

Unfortunately, Ling Moxiao went back on his word and had to change the contract again. Admittedly, she herself was moved...

The large and small boxes contained dividend gold and silver ingots, as well as the good things that the prince specially told him to have in the merchant house, and he selected the best ones for the princess to keep.

It can be regarded as...a gift chosen for her since Ling Mo Xiao was not around this year.

There are Dongzhu from Hainan Island, jade from the Western Regions, gems from Lingnan, agate from Tubo, coral from Minzhou...

Her first reaction when she saw these treasures was that if she could build the kind of tree the Jiang family gave her, she would be able to make dozens of them.

The prince also said that the princess didn't like jewelry. If these things were turned into jewelry, the princess would hand them over to the auction house for auction, so all the stones were left in the rough.

Let the princess save it by herself, and let the craftsmen make whatever jewelry she wants in the future.

I have to say that Ling Moxiao was really considerate in giving such a gift.

She took a box of silver and gave it to Butler Liu: "I have built big medical clinics in Chang'an and Yangzhou, but they haven't been built yet in my hometown of Guangzhou, so let's use this money to build a big medical clinic!"

Butler Liu was a little excited. Who said that the princess was greedy for money before?

He said hurriedly: "You don't need these! The prince owns the land in the city for free, and the workers are his own, so they don't need money either. Every brick, tile, and wood is available in the house."

Shen Dongsu smiled, we also have such a rich day!

He said: "The rest is to build a primary school. I don't think there are many decent primary schools in the county. Save the extra money to hire a wife."

Butler Liu was very happy. If Prince Ling did these things, there would be no guarantee that the censor would accuse Prince Ling of trying to attract people's hearts and have evil intentions.

But it is up to Princess Ling to do it. Based on what Princess Ling has done in Chang'an and Yangzhou for more than a year, no matter how many things she does, no censor will dare to interfere with her.

Butler Liu happily took over this important task and reported to her about the experimental field planting rice using the planting method she taught.

That's right, it was the seedling-transplanting method that Shen Dongsu taught Zhongyang in a letter he left earlier.

The traditional sowing method is to sow the grain directly into the field after plowing the field, and then rely on the sky for food. No, we still have to prevent birds from pecking us, and we also have to weed.

In addition to the Shen family who used Shen Dong's method of sowing seeds, there was also the manor of Prince Ling's Mansion, where Butler Liu selected a number of test plots.

There was no need to wait for the autumn harvest. After planting the rice seedlings, everyone discovered the power of this method.

Not a single seedling was lost, and the seedlings that had been nurtured grew very strong, unlike those that were sown directly.

At that time, Butler Liu and Grandpa Shen ran to the fields every day, and the seedlings simply grew in the wind, changing every day.

When the autumn harvest came, the two of them were even more delighted. The yield from one acre of field was twice as much as the ordinary planting method!

Especially for fields that were fertilized in advance, the yield per mu broke the historical record!

Logically speaking, such a high-yielding seed value method should be reported to the court and promoted vigorously, but I thought of the princelings' hatred of Prince Ling.

Ling Moxiao said that even if he reported it to the court, he would not take it seriously. He would test it in Guangzhou for a few years and then report it to the court after it was popularized in Guangzhou and the people accepted this new planting method.

Butler Liu said excitedly: "The princess is a great talent! This new planting method was reported to the court, and the princess should be the first to do so!"

Shen Dongsu laughed: "I don't teach my family just for merit. I just don't want grandpa and the others to work so hard and end up with so little harvest."

"It's okay if we don't report it to the court first. The court collects grain taxes based on the yield per mu. If it can't be promoted for a while, it will be uniformly collected based on high-yielding fields. The people will suffer the most."

Butler Liu was convinced again, because this was what King Ling was worried about. It seems that Princess Ling has learned a lot about political affairs during her more than a year in Chang'an.

Butler Liu once again thought of Master Huikong's words, the prince's vitality lies in the fiefdom. It really came true!

The prince is in the fiefdom, and the little princess he is looking for is simply a blessing to his husband!
