Chapter 1051 The lazy and evil sister-in-law of a blessed girl from a rural family (47)
I don’t know whether it’s because papaya is really powerful, or because the emperor said “this thing can whiten skin”, which gave the queen and other concubines a preconceived idea.
In addition, it was a reward from His Majesty, so I stewed it every day and ate it every meal for three days in a row. I touched my face in the mirror and it seemed that it was indeed a bit whiter and smoother.
One of the concubines was diagnosed with a dragon fetus after eating papaya. Seeing that papaya seeds were numerous and dense, she was so happy that she regarded papaya as an auspicious fruit with many children, good fortune, and endless melon seeds.
As a result, papaya became famous in the palace.
Xu Yin's family of three visited the capital for two days and were about to leave the capital to return home when they were summoned to the palace again.
After learning the reason, Xu Yin almost emo: "..."
Does this count as shooting oneself in the foot?
It’s not a good idea to bring a gift, but you brought a papaya instead?
You said it has bad effects, but why did you choose it for its whitening and beauty-enhancing effects?
Now it's good, today the queen, tomorrow the concubine... the concubines in the harem invited her to be their guest one after another.
Ask her how papayas are grown, what the trees look like, and the most important thing is whether there are other ways to eat them...

Also, if you eat steamed papaya every few days in a row, it will be good if you don’t vomit after eating it.
The first few questions are easy to answer, which is how to eat papaya... Xu Yin has no idea - she can't offend any of these people, so she has to rack her brains to help them think of delicacies with papaya as an ingredient:
Try breaking the pulp into pieces and stewing it with fresh milk and rock sugar, or steaming it and mashing it into a puree, then mix it with honey and almond milk and eat it... Anyway, you can't go wrong making it into a dessert.
As a result, the queen, the concubine and others were even more reluctant to let her go. Just like Jia Mu liked Grandma Liu, they also liked Xu Yin.
A rural married woman with children who has no background, is dressed in a tacky style, and speaks upright and funny, does not pose a threat to them at all. On the contrary, it can add some fun to their boring harem life.
Therefore, the queen and others repeatedly persuaded her to settle down in the capital. For this reason, the queen also rewarded her with a village not far from the imperial village. Although it was not big, it had a hot spring.
"Ajin, if you don't go home, I feel like I will be corrupted by the prosperity and luxury of the capital."
That night, the passion faded, and Xu Yin lay on the man's body with a slight breath and feeling.
Hot spring resort, this is indeed very tempting to her.
Why haven’t natural hot springs been discovered in Okubo Village?
Cui Mengjin laughed softly, played with her long silky hair and asked, "Does the lady want to go back or stay?"
"It's better to go back!" Xu Yin said after thinking carefully, "I prefer a free life to prosperity and wealth."
Thinking about the past few days, she was summoned by different people every day, saluting and kowtowing all the way. She was tired and her heart was even more tired.
"Then go back." Cui Mengjin hugged her up and gently pecked the corners of her lips, "I'll ask your Majesty to see you tomorrow and ask his permission for us to return home. No need to find any additional reasons, just say that winter leisure is coming.
Base fertilizer needs to be applied to the ground, otherwise it will affect next year's yield. His Majesty attaches great importance to farming, and he will not embarrass us."
The emperor did not make things difficult for them, although he also hoped that they would stay. Their simplicity, optimism, kindness and unique insights into farming deeply touched him. Every time he chatted with the couple, his mood would change.
It's so good, I feel so happy from the bottom of my heart.
But he also knew that Dawa Village was their home, where their parents, elders, neighbors and villagers lived. Forcing them to stay here was not the beauty of adulthood but the deprivation of others' goodness.
The emperor opened his mouth, and the concubines in the harem had no choice but to let him go.
Xu Yin's family hurriedly evacuated before the emperor changed his tune.
The house and land awarded by the emperor were kept intact. If Cui Jikang or their children passed the imperial examination and came to the capital to develop in the future, they would have a place to stay here, right?
Cui Qiaoqiao has been hesitating these days whether to go to her elder brother.
I learned from the Sixth Prince that Mrs. Xu was not only favored by His Majesty, but also very popular with the ladies in the harem. Although I don’t know where she got those seeds from the Western Regions, and she succeeded in growing them like a blind cat stumbled upon a dead mouse. Not only
He was awarded the title of Eighth Grade Sinong and received a lot of rewards. It would be great if it was the eldest brother who was awarded the title, but it happened to be that vicious woman.
Cui Qiaoqiao didn't want to have anything to do with her eldest brother's family before, so she didn't tell the Sixth Prince that it was her sister-in-law who was awarded the title of Eighth Grade Sinong by His Majesty. Now...
She hesitated again and again and decided to go to her elder brother.
Even though she has been protected and doted on by the Sixth Prince these years, she seems to have infinite glory, but secretly they look down on her. There are many people who say that she is not worthy of the Sixth Prince, and that the concubine that the Sixth Prince will marry in the future must come from a famous family. She
No matter how lucky she is, she is just a concubine in the Sixth Prince's mansion who cannot be promoted to the public. Maybe she won't even be a concubine. Either she will follow the Sixth Prince as a confidant without any name or status, or she will be dismissed.
He was kept outside as an outhouse.
In the past, Cui Qiaoqiao would have tolerated it, but now that the eldest brother and his wife have gained His Majesty's respect, if he could keep them in the capital, wouldn't he have an extra backer?
Thinking of this, she no longer hesitated and decided to find her eldest brother to win over the relationship between the siblings.
Unexpectedly, she was greeted by a closed door. When she inquired about it, she found that her eldest brother's family had said goodbye to His Majesty and returned to Dawa Village.
"..."
Cui Qiaoqiao was puzzled: Why are there still people who would rather go back to live in thatched huts or adobe houses than live in a big house?
The farther Xu Yin got from the capital, the more at ease she felt.
It's better to stay away from the whirlpool of power in the capital city. You don't have to worry about being summoned by this one and that one all day long.
The more she experienced, the more she liked the quiet rural life, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, working at sunrise and resting at sundown. Although the days were not so luxurious and exquisite, this peaceful place was my hometown.
"When we go back, we will build a beautiful courtyard house with green bricks and tiles!" She clasped her hands and raised her arms.
"Puff..."
The little boy spat a bunch of bubbles at her.
"Do you understand? Silly boy!" Xu Yin smiled and wiped her son's hung mouth.
"How about Mommy arranges a practice room for you? When you can walk and run, Mommy will teach you how to walk."
"Puff..."
Cui Mengjin pinched the tip of her son's pen and said with a smile: "I thought the lady would want to decorate a study room to enlighten him when he starts babbling."
"The study room must be decorated, and the practice room must also be decorated. If you can cultivate yourself in the literary world, and strengthen your body in the martial arts, you are a good man! We must be both civil and military, and we must be strong with both hands! Right Brother Chen?"
"Puff..."
The corners of Cui Mengjin's lips raised slightly, and she watched the interaction between the two of them with a warm smile.
Silly boy, he didn't even know he was betrayed by his mother.
The carriage gradually moved away, and the occasional chatter and laughter floating in the carriage also gradually faded away with the clatter of horse hooves.
The golden crow sets in the west.
In the cool late autumn, the clouds are as red as drunkenness.
