After the royal reunion dinner, it was still dark, but Emperor Mingguang could no longer hold back and waited for the things from the royal manor.
Unable to calm down and correct the memorial, Emperor Mingguang found a book and pretended to read it, but in fact he kept paying attention to the sky outside.
As soon as night fell, a team of sergeants appeared, dragged a batch of things from the royal estate and sent them to the palace.
When Emperor Mingguang saw the box after box of white sea salt, he could not suppress his excitement. If what Li Wenchong said before did not give him much room for imagination, then these boxes were like snow.
The white grains of salt had already made him foresee a shocking scene.
Suddenly, Emperor Mingguang thought that it would not be a bad idea for his younger brother to marry such a "cornucopia" of women.
Although she is a little older, she is capable.
Perhaps it is because of his rich experience and long-term vision when he was young that he has accumulated the "wealth" he has today.
Gu Qingling was so impatient to "hand over" so many things, probably because he wanted to please his imperial brother, hug the royal family, and prepare for marrying into the royal family in the future.
Emperor Mingguang narrowed his eyes slightly and felt deeply that Mrs. Yao was a smart person.
"Aqiu——"
Gu Qingling sneezed and wondered if that guy Li Wenchong was talking about her again.
Really, don't you just ask him to help run a salt run?
As for always saying this?
After the New Year, Gu Qingling took Yao Anxin out to relax.
If you are not happy in the capital, then you can take some time to relax in Jinling. You can visit the Zuifeng Courtyard, the People's Theater, the New Market, and even the half-renovated South Street.
After not coming back for a year, many changes have taken place in Jinling.
The emergence of glass has allowed many people to clean up a room in their own homes and specialize in growing off-season vegetables. In addition, the fruits and vegetables newly cultivated by the Yao family have stronger cold resistance, and in the "Jinling Agriculture News"
》Teaching everyone how to plant, how many people will miss this opportunity to make money?
So, just after the New Year, many colorful green vegetables appeared on the streets.
Gu Qingling specially asked her servants to find two low-key clothes for her and Yao Anxin, and packed them up like ordinary people. She just carried a basket and went to the market to buy vegetables with everyone.
"Hey... Sister, you are taking your daughter out for shopping." An old lady saw her and greeted her warmly.
Yao Anxin looked up at Gu Qingling in shock, and suddenly realized that someone thought she and the old lady were "mother and daughter".
Gu Qingling said with a smile: "Yes, I took my daughter out for shopping. Madam, your cabbage looks quite fresh. Is it just picked from the field?"
"Yes, I picked it early this morning. This kind of cabbage that has been beaten by frost is much more delicious than the kind that comes from the greenhouse. Take a look..." The aunt quickly picked a bunch of good ones and asked Gu Qingling to check them.
, "These leaves are so fresh and so fat. This bag can fry half a pot."
"It's really good. Just take this bag. Auntie, please help me weigh it."
"Hello!"
While the aunt was preparing the dishes, Gu Qingling looked at the aunt's clothes and asked her: "Auntie, look at the clothes you are wearing. There is not even a patch on it. Could it be the cloth that was just torn last year?"
The aunt showed a smile: "Yes, it's the new cloth that was just pulled during the New Year last year. Our village is close to the Yao family's experimental village. We planted many new varieties with their experimental village and made some small money, so we pulled it before the New Year."
I got some new pieces of cloth and made a new suit of clothes."
"You sell vegetables and you wear new clothes. Aren't you afraid of getting them dirty and damaged?"
"Hahahaha... don't be afraid, I'm just here to help, mainly for my daughter-in-law. She has to go to the toilet now, so I will take care of her for a while." The aunt pointed to the public toilet not far away and praised the new one.
The market is clean and not as clean as it used to be.
It's okay to wear clean clothes when you go out. As long as you pay attention, you won't get mud or water on your body at all.
Sure enough, just as the aunt was helping Gu Qingling and the others weigh the dishes, she saw a young daughter-in-law, whose clothes were a little white from washing but very clean, walking towards the public toilet.
"mother!"
"Hey, this customer bought a bag of cabbage..." The aunt handed the broken coins to her daughter-in-law, and asked her to take a good look at the stall before going shopping by herself.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seem to have a very good relationship. If it were in the past, the aunt would definitely not trust the young daughter-in-law to look after the stall by herself. What if she met a gangster?
But it's different now. Now the market is full of patrolling government officials and security personnel, so she has nothing to worry about. Her daughter-in-law looks at the stalls, and she goes to do the shopping. Everyone does their own thing, and they don't waste time together.
We can go home together.
After walking around, Gu Qingling asked Yao Anxin: "Did you see anything?"
Yao Anxin was startled: "Are they living well?"
"There are more smiles on the faces, and there are more women out shopping. In the past, have you seen so many women out alone on the street?"
Yao Anxin was shocked, and then she suddenly realized - isn't it? When she had to go out before, when was she not accompanied by adults and surrounded by slaves?
What is it that is so guarded against?
It was not because it was not safe outside, but because she, a young girl, had fewer people to take care of, or she had no adults to look after her, so she would be bumped into by others.
But this time it was different. This time, the old lady took her out alone, and the servants followed her from a distance. Only her grandmother and grandson walked in front.
And the streets are full of single women like them, which has never happened before.
Is Jinling really so safe?!
"This is all due to you, Old Madam. If it weren't for you, Jinling wouldn't be what it is today." Yao Anxin sighed.
Even the capital may not be as prosperous as Jinling.
Gu Qingling smiled: "It's not just about safety, please take a closer look."
Yao Anxin couldn't understand for a while and looked at it for a long time: "There are more people, people are better dressed, there are more things on the street, and there are many more things that I have never seen... People seem to be getting richer
Yes, it’s a generous move.”
The point is, these are the people at the bottom.
"Not only that, women can also show their faces." Gu Qingling stared into her eyes, "Do you know why?"
Yao Anxin could feel what the old lady was telling her, but she couldn't understand it for the moment: "My granddaughter doesn't know, so please ask the old lady to enlighten her."
"Why are they out in public?"
"Making money."
"Then why didn't they come out before?"
"It wasn't safe before."
Gu Qingling shook his head: "It's not just unsafe, it's also not allowed... The society doesn't allow it, the public doesn't allow it, the family doesn't allow it, the husband's family doesn't allow it... Everyone doesn't allow women to come out to make money. After all, it's all
It's poor and noisy.
Poor mountains and rivers breed unruly people, why? The poorer the place, the more people hold on to the door, the more they have all kinds of bad habits, and the more they focus on the three acres of land in front of them.
But when people gradually become richer, have more money in their hands, and see a wider world, and if they are supplemented by education, the people will grow very fast..."
