General Chang no longer has an official position, so it is inconvenient for him to come in and out of the palace, so all the matters of visiting his pregnant daughter are left to Lin Zhu. However, this time she only sat for a while and was about to leave. After all,
Not again and again, but appearing too densely in the palace is not a good thing for Lin Zhu.
Now that Concubine Lan is doting her favors, Lin Zhu has stayed in the harem twice, which is already very eye-catching. If she does it again, some people will probably say that she is too frivolous.
Therefore, Lin Zhu talked with Concubine Lan for a while, reported to her the preparations for Chang Tianlei's marriage, and then left. Since she did not see the emperor this time, she naturally paid less attention to him.
When Lin Zhu came out of the palace, it could be said that he returned with a full load.
"I finally got some money back." Lin Zhu joked with Aunt Chang with a smile. She used to send things to the palace, and she sent everything that was beneficial to Concubine Lan.
In Lin Zhu's view, since he and the General's Mansion have become one, they share weal and woe. Therefore, Lin Zhu always pays attention to Concubine Lan's situation in the palace.
Sincerity for sincerity, Concubine Lan also recognized Lin Zhu's presence in the General's Mansion and paid considerable attention to her. Because of Mu Qiyue's relationship, she also mentioned Lin Zhu's benefits in front of the emperor from time to time. Every gift from Lin Zhu
We did not forget to invite the emperor to taste the special ingredients that came over, or prepare a single portion for Eunuch Wan to arrange for the emperor alone.
But this time, taking advantage of the opportunity of Chang Tianlei's marriage, Concubine Lan not only gave Dong Yuzhen many things, but also gave Lin Zhu a large box of made-in-law clothing and jewelry. This can be bought even if you have money. There are many things on the market.
You can't see them at all. They are all used by the royal family. No bold businessman dares to purchase them and sell them.
That's why Lin Zhu joked like that.
Aunt Chang touched Lin Zhu's hair and said, "It's okay to talk about this kind of thing in private. Don't say it to cause trouble."
In the eyes of others, Lin Zhu's joke might be a way of complaining, but it would be disrespectful if the emperor knew about it.
"Hehe, I know, it's just a joke. I only do this in front of Aunt Chang." Lin Zhu stuck out his tongue and showed off his rare coquettishness to Aunt Chang.
"After Master Tianlei and Miss Yuzhen get married, the girl has to think about her own affairs." Aunt Chang reminded Lin Zhu while helping her pack her things.
"My business?" Lin Zhu didn't react for a moment. She was holding a piece of clothing material to figure out what kind of clothes would look good. When she heard Aunt Chang's words, her movements stopped.
"The girl is already fifteen years old after the New Year, and it will be time to get married in another year. Logically speaking, it is also time to get engaged. After all, she is not as anxious as Master Tianlei, but it is time to prepare some dowry.
"Aunt Chang said with seriousness and sincerity.
How could she not know the rumors from the outside world? In Aunt Chang's eyes, Mu Qiyue's conditions were barely suitable for Lin Zhu. If Lin Zhu hadn't been interested in him, Aunt Chang would have wanted to ask General Chang to match Lin Zhu.
Zhu married Mr. Du’s granddaughter Du Bin.
In Aunt Chang's view, people who can pursue an official career are motivated. People like Mu Qiyue who hang out in shopping malls have no future.
However, Mu Qiyue's unusual relationship with the emperor made up for some shortcomings. Aunt Chang was also satisfied. But she was also worried that things would change over time, and the attitude of Prince Qing's Mansion was really annoying.
You know, those so-called rumors that Lin Zhu was trying to please Princess Qing and wanted to marry into Prince Qing's palace regardless of his ability were all spread by people from Prince Qing's palace. They were so unscrupulous because they thought that the general's palace was now weak, even if Lin Zhu was
If you stand out, they won't even notice it.
Even Aunt Chang could see the problem, how could General Chang not know about it? However, now is a busy period, and the counterattack against these actions of Prince Qing's Mansion is still in the stage of secret arrangement.
Aunt Chang's explanation caused several black lines to cross Lin Zhu's mind. She was not prepared at all for becoming a wife at the age of sixteen. Although she didn't feel that they were much different in age when getting along with Mu Qiyue,
If you think about it carefully, Mu Qi is already twenty-three years old. If Prince Qing's Palace hadn't been so indifferent to him, he would have had two or three children. How could it be Lin Zhu's turn to include this blue-chip stock in Nang?
"Aunt Chang, I'm still young. Isn't it too early to consider this?" Lin Zhu scratched her head a little, and then she remembered that in this era, early marriage was always the rule, especially for women. Once they reach the age of hair extensions, it means they can get married.
Moreover, Lin Zhu's sunflower water had already arrived, which meant that her body was ready to become a woman.
What Lin Zhu didn't know was that if Mu Qiyue hadn't settled the matter at Prince Qing's Mansion, he would have already thought of proposing marriage to the General's Mansion and settled on her.
"It's getting late. Do you think any of the girls from this family didn't get married early?" Aunt Chang said with a smile. In her eyes, Lin Zhu's behavior was that of shyness. "Miss Manyun also got married early.
I guess the day is coming soon.”
"Really? How come I don't know and haven't heard Sister Manyun mention it?" Lin Zhu was very surprised.
"Haha, how could Miss Manyun mention this matter by herself?" Only then did Aunt Chang feel that her girl was still at an age where she didn't know anything.
"Oh, that's right." Lin Zhu then remembered that girls are very conservative nowadays, let alone mentioning their own marriage, even thinking about it would make her feel shy.
"Fortunately, I have prepared Sister Manyun's gift. Otherwise, if I had known about it at the last minute, it would have been too late." Lin Zhu said with a smile.
"Girls are always so considerate in everything they do." Aunt Chang admired Lin Zhu very much for thinking very thoughtfully at such a young age. She never thought that under Loli's appearance, there was actually an old core inside.
"Aunt Chang, if you say that, then Sister Yan should have been engaged long ago. She seems to be older than Sister Manyun." Lin Zhu's few close friends, including Wang Qingyan of the palace, have recently become
Lin Qinglan of the Lin Mansion who is close to her.
"Miss Wang's matter is a little complicated. A few years ago, she was rumored to have ruined her appearance, so naturally no one was willing to get engaged to her. Although she is better now, some people were too hurtful before. No matter how good her family background was,
I guess the people in the palace will consider it carefully." What Aunt Chang said is human nature.
"However, the spring exams are about to start. I heard that the Wang family is interested in finding a talented son-in-law. I guess they have the idea of taking these students." After a pause, Aunt Chang added.
These gossips were actually found out by Chang Shi and others, and he later mentioned them to Aunt Chang. He felt that Lin Zhu should know some of these things, so he told her through Aunt Chang's mouth.
"So that's it." Lin Zhu nodded. There is nothing wrong with the Wang family doing this. Those students are all potentials. If there is someone suitable for Wang Qingyan, it would be good to recruit her as a son-in-law.
With the status and power of the Wang family, they must be able to find a good future for Wang Qingyan's husband.
Speaking of the spring examination, Lin Zhu suddenly thought of Dong Yuzhen's brother Dong Wenbo who failed the last imperial examination. After such a long period of preparation, he was full of confidence in this spring examination. Lin Zhu sincerely hoped that he could achieve a good result.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhu also thought of Aunt Li's family in Linjia Village. Her second son should also take the imperial examination this year, but he didn't know which level of examination he would take. Lin Zhu still had feelings for Aunt Li's family.
Yes, after all, her family was the first to express goodwill to her when they were in Linjia Village.
In the past few years since Lin Zhu came to the capital, he has often corresponded with Aunt Li's family. He only sent a letter a year ago, and it is estimated that the letter from Aunt Li's family will arrive soon. Lin Zhu sincerely hopes that Aunt Li's family will do well in the new year.
Continuously.
"Aunt Chang, the letter from Mrs. Li's family will arrive soon." There are always people coming and going from the capital to Song County, so it is convenient to send letters, especially the hot spring vegetables from Zhuyuan are constantly being sent to the capital. These things are all done by
Chang Shi is making arrangements, so Aunt Chang understands it relatively clearly.
"Well, it's time for the food delivery person from Zhuyuan to come over. It's almost time." Aunt Chang nodded.
Lin Zhu's unique hot spring vegetables are only available for this moment. It's not that she doesn't want to keep this unique technology in her own hands, but the situation cannot be controlled by others.
Lin Zhu couldn't deal with the emperor alone. And for the emperor, nothing should be hidden from him, especially this technology can benefit many people. For the emperor who is eager to improve his national power, this technology is very important.
Urgently needed.
Not only that, although the special white rice is still in the confidentiality stage, the high-grade rice seeds derived from the special rice have been secretly planted by Mu Qiyue in areas suitable for rice cultivation.
After all, no matter which emperor is on the throne, he hopes that his country will be stable, but war is inevitable. Therefore, food and grass are necessary for war.
Lin Zhu not only provided excellent seeds, but her new planting method was not only put into practice in Linjia Village, but had also been promoted to his secret planting base by the shrewd Mu Qiyue.
When the emperor learned that the yield per acre was six to seven hundred kilograms, he suddenly lost his composure. In the past, the yield per mu was only more than five hundred kilograms. This was under good weather conditions. If God doesn't open his eyes, the yield will be
It will be even lower.
Now the output of three acres is equal to the previous output of four acres. How can the emperor not be happy? And he is also lucky that Mu Qiyue got this opportunity first. Moreover, the taste of high-grade white rice is better than that of ordinary white rice. It has been produced for two or three years.
Over time, Mu Qiyue has provided no less than a million kilograms of food to the army.
Although one million kilograms of grain is not too much for the consumption of a huge army, especially the total amount for three years. However, it really provides a very good supplement to the army at the border. (To be continued. If you like
