Chapter 1005 Meaning

Chapter 1005 Meaning (Second update)

Author: Moon Meow

It happened that Shen Jingzhu was going to the countryside to see the harvest in the past few days. The land in Yaozhou was quite suitable for growing a fruit called pineapple. Su Youning imported a lot of seeds from Haishang in the past few years, and some people started to plant this kind of fruit. Fruit. This fruit also has ten ripening times, which means that there are four stages in a year when you can eat pineapples.

Shen Jingzhu is very concerned about this matter. Not only does he check on the harvest, but he also makes several trips in person to help contact the merchants who purchase the goods. Pineapple, a fruit with an extremely sweet and sour taste, is very popular, especially pineapple, which is not only good for It can be eaten and used to cook. Pineapple rice and pineapple meat are both eye-catching and delicious dishes - Shen Jingzhu likes these two dishes especially and asks the kitchen to make them several times a month. Again Unfortunately, if the princess holds a pineapple banquet, she will naturally promote this fruit.

Although the weather was quite hot, Shen Jingzhu was covered in sweat from the sun. Fortunately, she didn't apply makeup, otherwise her makeup would have been stained by sweat. When she saw the fruitful pineapple, she was still in a very happy mood. Okay. In her eyes, these are all money.

The farmers who grow pineapples are also very excited. With Princess Qionghua and Master Shen here, they are not worried about the sales of pineapples, nor are they afraid that someone will deliberately bully them for not understanding and lower the price for them. If all these pineapples can be sold, Maybe we can build a new house for our family.

Some insist on sending pineapples grown by Shen Jingzhu himself.

"My pineapples are sour and sweet, and they are the largest in the village. Look, how good my pineapples grow."

"My one is better, my one is the sweetest. Mr. Shen chooses my one!"

To them, Shen Jingzhu, who leads them to make money and is willing to worry about their livelihood, is a good person.

Shen Jingzhu was made to laugh and cry. Compared with dealing with those officials and women, dealing with these farmers made her feel more relaxed.

She said, "Why don't each of you give me one, and I'll buy them all." A pineapple is not expensive. Fortunately, she was prepared before going out, and exchanged some scraps of silver for a lot of copper coins.

"How can I let you buy this? If I take your money, my father will definitely break my legs later."

"That's right, a pineapple isn't worth much, so pick a few and eat them."

Shen Jingzhu knew they had good intentions, but she really couldn't say this. She explained patiently: "As officials, we cannot accept things from the people, otherwise we will violate the rules set by the princess, and we may be fined money." I can buy all your family’s pineapples.”

After she said this, they gave up. They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, the people in Princess Qionghua's Mansion were just different from other officials. The other officials wanted to scrape off more layers of flesh from their little common people, so Princess Qionghua was worried about them. Being bullied.

Shen Jingzhu bought a pineapple for each house - there were a lot of people in the princess's house anyway, and these pineapples were just for everyone to taste. She saw that the princess seemed a little troubled these days, and she only hoped that the princess would be happy because of these pineapples.

One pineapple per family didn't cost much money, but these pineapples really took up a lot of space. Fortunately, Shen Jingzhu was prepared when she went out this time, and brought several carriages over, but they could barely fit them in.

On her way back, she met Mrs. Guo who had been prepared.

"Master Shen, what a coincidence, I was just about to go to burn incense, and I didn't expect to meet you." Mrs. Guo said with a gentle face. Her eyes fell on Shen Jingzhu's face, and she felt a little pity in her heart - Shen Jingzhu's tenacity was what she admired. appreciated.

Shen Jingzhu knew very well that this was not a coincidence. It was clearly the other party who came to the door on his own initiative.

She nodded slightly and said, "Good day, Mrs. Guo." Because she often dealt with the female relatives of Yaozhou and was diligent in her daily life, she was very knowledgeable about every female official. Shen Jingzhu even knew that the Guo family had a matchmaker come to propose marriage a few days ago. , now I’m afraid I’m just here for that marriage.

Mrs. Guo said: "I have always raised a daughter, but unfortunately my stomach was not good enough. I only gave birth to a few boys, but none of them gave birth to a daughter, so I can only raise my daughter-in-law as a daughter."

"I think Mr. Shen is very good, and his temperament is very similar to mine. I wonder if that bastard in my family has such an honor?" Compared with her own son, Mrs. Guo is still a better person. No matter what she thinks in her heart, her posture is just for show. Out.

However, Shen Jingzhu would not change her mind because of this. The Guo family's respect was only superficial, and they still looked down on her in their hearts.

She said calmly: "Young Master Lingfu is a dragon and a phoenix among men. I am just as beautiful as a willow tree and am not worthy of him."

Mrs. Guo was stunned for a moment. She refused so quickly. Is it because of the existence of her concubine?

She gritted her teeth and said: "My son is stupid. He has a bastard before his wife has married. No matter how many bastards he has in the future, I will let them be raised by my future daughter-in-law."

Mrs. Guo may not be willing to let Shen Jingzhu give birth to a child. Even if the child is a legitimate child, he may be laughed at. But there are many benefits to raising a common child in Shen Jingzhu's name.

Shen Jingzhu simply said more clearly, "I have no plans to get married in this life. I am very satisfied with my current life. The trivial matters in life after getting married will only delay my business. My time is very precious and I don't want to use it to educate my children." "

She knew very well that the Guo family just took a fancy to her position in the princess' heart.

Mrs. Guo was stunned, as if seeing Shen Jingzhu for the first time, "You don't plan to get married? What about your incense?"

Shen Jingzhu said calmly: "You married into the Guo family, gave birth to children for them, and took care of the housework, but can you be included in the Guo family's genealogy? When future generations pay respects, will anyone remember you? Your tombstone is on it. It will only record the Guan family." Even the real name cannot be left.

"But I know that the people will remember everything I have done. When I went to the countryside just now, I even saw them erecting a monument for me." This is much more meaningful than giving birth to children and being a good wife and mother. Already.

Mrs. Guo was as stiff as a stone statue and didn't even notice when Shen Jingzhu left.

"Ma'am." Her confidant looked at her worriedly.

Mrs. Guo woke up as if from a dream and sighed, "Let's go back."

She knew that this marriage was impossible and was just a wishful thinking.

She said to the coachman: "Go and ask if the nearby villages have erected a monument for Shen Jingzhu? Let's go over and have a look."



After Mrs. Guo saw the stone tablet erected by the villagers for Shen Jingzhu, she no longer considered the marriage. She was even a little less interested in her youngest son's marriage.

No matter how much she did, she would not be able to leave many traces in the hearts of future generations. They would remember the male elders in the family, but they would definitely not remember them. She had previously prevented Ashu from being with her nephew for the sake of his own good. In the end, he was regarded as a villain who beats mandarin ducks, which is really boring.

There was no movement from her side, but her son Guo Jianshu took the initiative to inquire about the marriage.
