No matter how prosperous Baodi is, it cannot compare to Shengjing. The eldest princess is not someone who has been trapped in the deep palace for a long time and has never seen the world, so she seemed to lack interest when she first came to Baodi.
Seeing her uncle lower the curtain, she thought Jiang Nansheng was as disappointed as she was.
"Uncle, have you ever been to mother's manor before? I heard there is a hot spring inside, but it's a pity that it's not winter now, so I can't experience the extreme abnormality."
Thinking of my mother's request, I continued to ask, "Before leaving the palace, my mother mentioned the Zheng family and asked me to bring her some fruit. Do you know the Zheng family?"
Jiang Nansheng heard her asking questions left and right and only answered the last question.
"Coming down the official road, most of the crops you can see belong to the Zheng family. Their family has the largest orchard in Shengjing, and the crops are transported by ship and overland to various places..."
This is just the surface, he briefly gave a general idea.
Zhao Xuan became interested when she heard this, "They are very rich, but why have I never heard of their family's name?"
Then he asked quietly, "Do you know which side it is from?"
Jiang Nansheng made tea gracefully, pushed one cup in front of her, and said in a light voice, "Your mother will miss you if she knows that you care about these things."
Zhao Xuan pinched the edge of the cup, looking at the light green and clear soup inside, her voice a little low:
"Mother, your mind is now on Zhao Kuo, otherwise why would I come out so easily, and to a farm I have never been to before."
The princess came out to relax more than she was curious about the hot springs.
The eldest prince was already twenty-five years old. On the day after his eldest son was born, people from the former court kept submitting memorials proposing the establishment of a crown prince.
The eldest brother is the eldest son of the Emperor and the Empress, so it seems to be the popular wish to make him the crown prince.
The second prince's mother is the Imperial Noble Consort, and her mother's family is in the ascendant, making her the most popular candidate for the crown prince in the court.
The sixth prince Zhao Kuo whom she just mentioned, his biological mother was a palace maid who was only favored once by his father, and she died of complications during childbirth.
After Zhao Kuo was born, he was not blessed by his biological mother and was not loved by his father. He and his mother saw him being bullied in the back garden several times.
Two years ago, he was rescued by his mother after fainting in the snow. Even his father tacitly acknowledged that his mother intended to adopt Zhao Kuo.
Jiang Nansheng brought the teacup to his lips and smiled faintly after hearing what his niece said.
"The Sixth Prince's life story is indeed pitiful..."
"Cousin, Fifth Master, we've arrived at the farm." Jiang Fei's voice came from outside the car.
Gu Jinchu also heard the voice of the maid outside, "Miss Third, you can come down now."
Bai Zhi lifted the car curtain, and Gu Jinchu looked out and saw his grandmother at first sight.
His square and handsome face, which gave people a very stern feeling when he was not smiling, was looking at her with a loving expression at this moment.
She still looked the same as Gu Jinchu remembered, but the last time she saw her in the previous life, her black hair had turned mostly white because she had lost her youngest daughter.
My grandmother lost her mother at a young age and later became an orphan. After marrying my grandfather, she accompanied him in starting a business from scratch. She was a well-known "iron-fisted lady" on both land and sea routes.
She still remembers the scene where her grandmother endured the grief and comforted her when she was pregnant, then turned around and fell to the ground, crying bitterly.
"Chujieer!"
Her grandmother looked at her with a smile on her face and her arms open. Ever since Gu Jinchu could remember when she was a child, her grandmother had always opened her arms to her like this every time she returned to Baodi.
Gu Jinchu held Bai Zhi's hand, jumped off the pedal and ran over, "Grandma!"
"Oh...be careful, my little ancestor...I haven't seen you for half a year and you're almost as tall as my grandmother..."
Zheng Liu held the girl in her arms and teased her, but she noticed that her eyes were red. She smiled and said to her:
"My sister is still a bit fickle, but with grandma here, no one will bully you."
Her mother had said the same thing to her.
Gu Jinchu took a breath and buried herself in her grandmother's arms again, smelling the familiar and nostalgic scent on her body, "I miss you, and grandpa."
In the previous life, my grandfather’s condition worsened upon hearing the news of my mother’s death, and he passed away not long after, without even seeing the revenge.
Hearing someone talking next to him, Gu Jinchu stood up from his grandmother's arms embarrassedly.
While wiping her face, her grandmother tried to make amends for her, "It's a good thing your cousin didn't bring An Ge'er with her, otherwise he would have laughed at you as his aunt."
Gu Jinchu bowed towards the woman next to him and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, cousin." There was a nasal tone in his voice.
A beautiful and gentle woman came over, took Gu Jinchu's hand and said with a smile:
"Grandmother has been waiting since she received the reply, and finally Chu Jie'er has come." She was wearing a light purple gauze skirt with emerald green patterns, looking gentle and delicate.
Gu Jinchu could recognize his eldest cousin's wife at a glance, because she was only ten years old when his eldest cousin got married, and she did many things that were hard to describe.
My eldest cousin’s wife, Ms. Wang, is from southern Anhui. Her father is the principal of Jiuhua Academy, and her ancestors produced several successful candidates in the imperial examinations. They are a true scholarly family.
After my cousin passed the imperial examination, he found that he liked making money more than studying.
He felt that his greatest success so far was marrying the beloved daughter of the president of Jiuhua Academy.
Gu Jinchu took Wang's hand and said, "Why did my eldest cousin come out to pick me up in person? Was it hard to carry this baby? An Ge is going to be a big brother, he must be so happy."
Wang's eldest son is already four years old, and she is pregnant with her and her eldest cousin's second child, which looks to be more than five or six months pregnant.
Wang pursed her lips and smiled as she looked at Zheng Liu behind Gu Jinchu:
"My grandmother said that I should move around more during the later stages of pregnancy. When I was pregnant with An Ge, I listened to her advice. The midwife said that my fetal position and shape were good, so I suffered less."
Her grandmother had also told her these words in her previous life. Her grandmother gave birth to four children, including twins, and what she said was all based on her experience.
Although the Zheng family is a wealthy family, it is nothing compared to the cultural heritage of the Wang family.
My cousin's wife does not have the arrogance of a superior person or the pedantry of a scholar.
She gave birth to the fourth generation eldest son of the Zheng family in the first year after her marriage, and everyone said that she was a blessed person.
Wang smiled gently at Gu Jinchu and said:
"Brother An's classes are about to end. He knows that Aunt Jinchu is coming, so in order to accompany you to play at the farm, he has been asking the teacher to catch up on the lessons these days."
Gu Jinchu was a little dazed when looking at her back. Zheng Liu asked her, "Are you tired from the journey, Sister Chu?"
Gu Jinchu shook his head and said softly, "I think my cousin's wife is having a hard time."
In the previous life, Jiuhua Academy was involved in a fraud case. Because my father died of illness in prison, my cousin’s wife’s baby was not born.
The doctor said that since she had miscarried this time, she would have difficulty having children in the future.
Zheng Liu held her granddaughter's hand. She was very satisfied with her granddaughter-in-law, except that she was a little stubborn in An Ge's studies.
"Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell. It's dangerous."
Gu Jinchu had not yet reached the age of marriage, so her grandmother did not continue talking and pointed to the lotus pond next to the rockery.
"The lotus flowers bloomed early this year. When you were a kid, you would ask for lotus seeds when you saw the flowers blooming."
