Wealth and glory seek stability

May 28th.

Caiyun got married in a grand manner. Before leaving, she paid a visit to Jian Xi, and she sincerely called Jian Xi "sister".

During the days she stayed in the Shen residence, she accidentally saw Li in the firewood room. When she thought about Jian Xi's life experience, she had some guesses about what Jian Xi had asked her that day.

But she just felt that her life experience and Jian Xi's life experience were swapped.

Both of them are in desperate situations, but Jian Xi can face life with a smile.

It makes no difference to Caiyun whether she recognizes her parents or not. She cannot have any deep longing for them whom she has never met.

Jane Xi's current life is all due to her hard work.

She was also confident that she would be able to live a better life in the future by relying on herself like Jian Xi. Since Jian Xi didn't say anything, she would pretend not to know.

As she sat in the bridal sedan and the gongs and drums sounded, her real life began.

Caiyun held the pomegranate fan given to her by Caixia, smiled, and walked into the gate of the Qi family.

Jian Xi's wedding date is approaching, and after the entire general's mansion finished arranging Caiyun's wedding, they began to prepare for Jian Xi's wedding.

Decorate with lights and prepare invitations to all friends and relatives.

Rarely, Zhang Cen'er also sent someone to send a gift, which was a whole piece of snow crystal ore from the snowy area of ​​the far north.

Jian Xi took it in her hand and looked at it. This snow crystal was just like the diamond in her previous life. It was transparent in color, just like snow, and refracted light inside. It was mostly loved by noble women.

She also learned a lot about the inside story between the major dynasties from Lei Zi.

The Xuanwu Dynasty was located in the northern part of the continent. Most of the people there made a living by nomadism and all the people were soldiers. The Xuanwu Dynasty was not suitable for growing food. Apart from some cold-resistant crops like barley, the only products that were most abundant were medicinal herbs and rare minerals that were suitable for growing in cold environments.

The White Tiger Dynasty, located at the easternmost part of the continent and adjacent to the Xuanyuan Dynasty, is the most suitable place for growing grain crops. The people of the White Tiger Dynasty are all tall and strong and are the most trustworthy.

In previous years, the Xuanwu Dynasty and the White Tiger Dynasty exchanged supplies, with the Xuanwu Dynasty providing rare minerals or real gold and silver in exchange for food from the White Tiger Dynasty.

However, this year the White Tiger Dynasty was in turmoil and local forces were divided. The internal strife alone wasted a lot of money. As a strategic material, the export of grain was naturally restricted.

One thing that everyone on the continent recognizes is that the people of the Xuanwu Dynasty are the richest, and they are hospitable and never care about money.

He is also known as the boy who scatters money.

No wonder Zhang Cen'er paid so readily.

It turns out that the people of the Xuanwu Dynasty were so poor that they only had money left.

When Emperor Xuanyuan decided to lead his troops north, he was also attracted by the rich resources of the Xuanwu Dynasty.

Although the royal court was not completely wiped out, it did bring about the opportunity to do business with the Xuanwu Dynasty in the future.

You must know that the old dynasties have always been arrogant and looked down on the Xuanyuan Dynasty that emerged from nowhere.

Emperor Xuanyuan still has a long way to go if he wants to unify the world.

Although the other four dynasties each had their own problems, they were surprisingly united within their dynasties.

The Qinglong Dynasty is located in the extreme west, where the four seasons are like spring. The people of the dynasty prefer romanticism, and both men and women consider wearing flowers in their hair as beauty. The extreme west is mostly mountainous and forested, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There are many villages in it, and it is said that there are also people who are good at Gu and can communicate with spirits. It is the most mysterious existence in the old dynasty.

The Suzaku Dynasty is located in the extreme south, with a hot climate and abundant fruits. It is said that the people of the Suzaku Dynasty are the most uncontested in the world, in other words, they are like salted fish. They would never stand if they can sit, and would never sit if they can lie down. Even the annual conscription of soldiers by the government is decided by drawing lots.

It’s not that other dynasties didn’t think about occupying the Suzaku Dynasty, but they found that even if they sent troops to fight, the people of the Suzaku Dynasty would not resist. Instead, they welcomed it very much. They just wanted to lean on the big tree for shade.

The people of the Suzaku Dynasty loved to enjoy themselves, and the annual financial expenditure of the court alone was not a small amount.

But one characteristic of the Suzaku Dynasty is that it has a large population!

Don't pay? One person can drown you with just one spit. Anyway, they are not afraid of death. They are complete scoundrels, and everyone in the major dynasties is afraid to avoid them.

It seems that only the people in the Xuanyuan Dynasty are the most belligerent in nature, and they are obsessed with unifying the continent.

Could it be that Xuanyuan Zhaoyi is also a time traveler?

Jian Xi thought about it and shook her head.

The four old dynasties seem to have existed the longest, but if they are separated, they are each a kingdom, and if they are united, they are a mess.

The mystery of the original owner's life experience has not been solved yet, so she still needs to conduct a thorough investigation in the Jiangnan area.

She asked a retired craftsman from the palace's internal manufacturing department to look at the bracelet, and it looked like the bracelet belonged to the founding empress, Empress Xiaoci.

Empress Xiaoci advocated frugality and ordered people to polish the remaining jade pieces from making the imperial seal and inlay them into gold bracelets, which she used exclusively to reward her concubines.

The first-class bracelets are inlaid with white jade, the second-class with emerald jade, and the third-class is a gold bracelet. Jade is the most valuable, followed by emerald jade, and the inner wall is engraved with phoenix patterns to show favor.

The one that Jian Xi owns happens to be of the highest grade. The jade pieces inlaid with it are made of the most precious mutton-fat white jade, which is from the same piece of material as the jade seal.

She still had to make good money. The main reason why she could get the news she wanted so quickly was that money paved the way.

Her farm produces so much grain every year, it would be a pity to leave it all for nothing. If she could find a stable and high-demand sucker now...

Ah!

No.

It would be nice to have a sponsor with a large demand.

Jian Xi stroked her chin, thoughtfully.

She married Gao Yunhuai because she was attracted by the freedom that would come with marriage. Gao Yunhuai's background was not as complicated as that of the aristocratic families, nor was there the intrigue and deception in the royal family.

The Gao family is richer than her, and they will surely not embezzle her dowry after they get married.

Gao Yunhuai's looks are rated 10 out of 10. He is well-educated and gentlemanly. Just looking at such a man is a kind of enjoyment.

He is very good at manipulating official circles. Such a person must value his reputation. If there is a fire in the backyard or something like favoring a concubine over his wife happens, she has plenty of ways to ruin his reputation.

Madam Gao was gentle and amiable, and would surely not make things difficult for her in the future. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was a point that Jian Xi focused on. In the Wu'an Palace, even a kind person like Xia would sometimes find fault with her daughter-in-law, not to mention ordinary families.

She has never believed in superficial love. Only the hard conditions that can be seen with the eyes are what she really values.

She doesn't care what Gao Yunhuai himself thinks. Feelings can be cultivated.

She was already twenty-seven years old before she came into this world, long past the age when girls yearn for love. Adults care most about actual, immediate benefits.

She would also fulfill her duties as a wife. Perhaps it was because she had been deprived of emotions since childhood, but she seemed to find it difficult to feel what others called true love.

Jane Xi’s standard for the people around her is what she can give to others and what others will lose if they lose her.

As long as you grasp the balance in the middle, this should be true love, right?
