When Chu Han went to the palace, Chang's mother brought the anti-fetal medicine that had just been fried out of the pot to the bedroom. Seeing that Helian Bingshuang was still reading there, she couldn't help but step forward and grab the book and said: "Miss, you have been reading all day.
Now, it’s not too tiring for your eyes!”
Chang Ma put the book aside, took the medicine and blew it slowly.
Helian Bingshuang smiled slowly: "My husband won't come back until the evening. I have nothing to do by myself. I can't go out because I am so sick, so I can only read some books to pass the time!"
Chang Ma stopped blowing the medicine, raised her eyes and glanced at Helian Bingshuang, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't.
"Hurry up and wash your clothes while the weather is cool!" From a distance, the voices of the maids could be heard.
Helian Bingshuang got up and stretched, walked to the window, and looked at the afterglow of the setting sun. The sun was about to set, the sweltering heat of the day had passed, and the wind gradually became a little cooler. She couldn't help but hold her hands in front of her chest.
"Hey, have you heard? Miss Chu from the Chu Mansion has put up a notice to recruit brides, on the fifteenth day of next month!"
"Who doesn't know about this? I heard that this notice has been posted in the capital. It seems that Miss Chu is determined to find a father for the child who has no father!"
"I heard that our young master used to be very infatuated with Miss Chu. Sister Ju'er, you are the young master's personal maid. You know this best, right?" A maid said, suddenly stopping Ju'er who was walking in with snacks.
son asked.
"Are you new here? Why do I look at the stranger?" Juer glanced at the little maid who stopped her and asked coldly.
The little maid quickly accompanied her with a smile and said: "My name is Yingsheng, Yinghua's Yinghua is indeed a new arrival!"
"A newbie is so good at talking? Hong'er, go and tell the housekeeper that you can't have this slave and ask him to drive him out of the door!" Juer coldly ordered the maid behind him and walked straight up.
"You..." The little maid named Yingsheng stared at Ju'er's back, stamped her feet, but glanced towards the master bedroom not far away.
Helian Bingshuang stood motionless by the window.
Chang Ma quickly put down the medicine, took off the wooden wedge holding up the window, closed the window with only a small crack left, and said: "Miss, it's cold at night, don't stand by the window, be careful of the wind!"
Helian Bingshuang smiled and said: "Mother Chang, it's okay, I know it well!"
Chang Ma was startled, but now she knew she couldn't hide it, so she whispered: "Recently, there has been a lot of rumors outside, saying that my uncle liked Miss Chu before, and even came to her door to give a betrothal gift! Now that Miss Chu is looking for a bride, I want to
I think that in the whole Chu Han, the only person who can be a good match for Miss Chu is my uncle. Miss, do you think my uncle will... Don't forget that last time Miss Chu wanted to go to sea, my uncle..."
"Chang Ma, don't listen to those people's gossip. If Miss Chu had been willing to marry my husband, my husband and I would not have had this fate! The older ones didn't want to do it, so how could they become the younger ones? Just put your mind at ease.
Just keep it in your stomach!" Helian Bingshuang turned around and sat at the table and said nonchalantly.
"Young lady is so open-minded!" Chang Ma breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "I'm so afraid that young lady will listen to those gossips and be heartbroken, which will hurt her body!"
"If I really hurt my body, wouldn't I have played into someone's heart?" Helian Bingshuang smiled faintly, drank the anti-fetal medicine one spoonful at a time, and suddenly ordered as if he remembered something,
"My husband is almost back. Please ask someone to see if the ginseng chicken soup is ready in the kitchen. My husband wants some when he comes back!"
Chang Ma hurriedly responded, and just as she was about to ask someone to take a look, she saw Shangguan Yu enter the door.
"My uncle is back? My lady has been waiting for you all day!" As soon as Chang's mother saw Shangguan Yu, she hurried forward to say hello, took the broom next to the door and swept away the dust on Shangguan Yu's body.
After she finished sweeping, Shangguan Yu entered the room with a smile, shook Helian Bingshuang's hand and asked, "How are you feeling today? Has the little guy moved again?"
Helian Bingshuang smiled and nodded. At this moment, Chang's mother quickly excused herself and went out, leaving the young couple alone in the room.
Seeing that Chang's mother was gone, Helian Bingshuang boldly took Shangguan Yu's big hand and placed it on his bulging belly, saying in a low voice: "You kicked me twice today!"
Shangguan Yu said with a smile: "This boy is so naughty!"
Helian Bingshuang smiled lightly and said: "How did you know he is a boy? Maybe he is a daughter! In fact, I like daughters in my heart, even though your family is a single generation."
"If it's a daughter, she's too naughty. I'm afraid she won't get married!" Shangguan Yu laughed softly.
"How is that possible? Today's women don't necessarily have to embroider and study at home!" Helian Bingshuang smiled, glanced at Shangguan Yu thoughtfully, and whispered: "It would be nice if she was as capable as Miss Chu.
!”
Shangguan Yu shook her hand and said, "What's so good about Miss Chu? She looks beautiful on the surface, but she's suffering in her heart!"
Helian Bingshuang nodded: "Yes, Miss Chu is an abandoned woman. She has been exposed for a long time. Although she is doing it for the livelihood of the people, she has to be gossiped about behind her back. Coupled with the emperor's imperial edict, now... Xianggong
, you should help her more!"
Shangguan Yu nodded: "Thank you very much. There are a lot of rumors outside now, and I was afraid of you..."
Helian Bingshuang gently leaned his head on Shangguan Yu's shoulder, "I don't believe in anyone but you. I am committed to you in this life. Unless you write a letter of divorce and let me go, otherwise, I will die."
Stay by your side!"
Shangguan Yu's heart moved, and he gently touched the woman's shoulder, feeling suddenly uncomfortable.
With a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?
On this day, a carriage suddenly came in front of the Chu Mansion, and an old man got out of the carriage with four young followers, asking to see Chu Yiqing.
"You old man, are you here to join in the fun at your age?" the people watching outside the Chu Mansion couldn't help but joke.
The old man quickly said: "I'm here to ask for advice from the Goddess of Agriculture, please don't misunderstand me!"
"If you want to come and ask for a bride, just say so. Why are you hiding?" Those idle people shouted again.
The old man shook his head, walked up to the door, knocked on the door, and stated his intention.
Chu Yiqing received the old man in the hall.
"Miss Chu, I am a person from Yanjing in the State of Dai. I heard that there is a goddess of agriculture in the State of Li, so I came all the way to ask for advice!" The old man bowed to Chu Yiqing as soon as he saw her, and said respectfully.
Chu Yiqing quickly stretched out his hand to signal the old man to stand up, "Old man, there is no need to give such a big courtesy. I wonder what difficulties the old man has encountered?"
The old man quickly motioned to the boy behind him to come forward. The boy had a bag in his hand. There was some wheat in the bag. It was dark yellow in color and seemed to be infected with disease.
"Miss Chu, look, this is the wheat that was just harvested this year. I don't know why, but most of the wheat seeds in the four cities of Yanjing are this color, and this year's wheat harvest is more than half compared to last year. Big guys
They all suspected that something was wrong, so when it was time to plant corn, they didn't dare to do it, for fear of losing the fertilizer and seeds!" The old man respectfully placed the small bag in front of Chu Yiqing.
Chu Yiqing looked at the wheat and immediately asked: "This wheat turned yellow after turning green? Do you think it was because there was not enough rain and you watered it a few times more?"
The old man quickly replied: "Miss Chu is really a goddess, it is true. We thought it was due to lack of rain, so we watered twice more than in previous years, but it still didn't work. Now that the harvest has been reduced by half, everyone is anxious.
I heard that there is a goddess of agriculture in Li State, so I asked me to come and ask."
Chu Yiqing pointed at the wheat and said: "I'm afraid it's root rot. You guys came too late. If it was still possible to save the wheat when it just turned green in spring, the damage has already been done. All we can do now is to save the corns."
harvest!"
The old man immediately slapped his thigh in annoyance and said: "We in Yanjing are not so lucky, we don't have the Goddess of Agriculture!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Old man, I don't deserve the title of the Goddess of Agriculture. Now you can do as I say when you go back. You can ensure that the yield of corn is not reduced, but this kind of seed cannot be used. In this way, before planting wheat in autumn, you can
Send someone here and I will select some high-quality seeds for you, and the price will be the same as ordinary wheat!"
"How can it be done? The girl opens the door to do business, so you can get as much as you want!" the old man said quickly.
"No need really, but I do have a gracious favor!" Chu Yiqing said with a smile.
The old man quickly asked: "Miss Chu, just say it, I can do it if I can!"
"I heard that Yanjing is rich in sweet dates, right? And these dates mature about two months later than other dates. The skin is thin and crispy, and it can crack when dropped on the ground. The flesh is tender and juicy, with an extremely sweet taste and a slight sour taste.
, has a strong jujube aroma, I have only heard of it before but never seen it before." Chu Yiqing asked with a smile.
"Indeed, it is said that we have a Date Fairy over there, and she was kind enough to make our dates ripen two months late so that they can be on the market in winter. Many people in Yanjing rely on those dates to support their families!" the old man replied quickly.
"I have longed for a jujube tree like this. If I can find a way to get one, just one, I would be very grateful to Chu Yiqing!"
The old man hesitated for a moment and then said: "This jujube tree will definitely not be accepted by others when asking for truth. Since Miss Chu has spoken, she cannot refuse. In this way, next autumn, when you ask for wheat seeds, I will personally send the jujube tree."
!”
Chu Yiqing nodded and said happily: "Thank you very much, old man!"
After sending the old man away, Chu Yiqing was particularly excited because he got the winter jujube tree in Yanjing. He imagined the winter jujube market next year and couldn't help but feel happy. It finally diluted the irritability in his heart these days.
Seeing that the day of recruiting brides is getting closer and closer, the threshold of the Chu Mansion has been crossed by matchmakers and marriage seekers in the city. Since Chu Yiqing posted the notice again, except for those in Wuming Town such as Mr. Gu and others who are familiar with Chu Yiqing
Those who have good moral character really want to marry a good wife. The other small households in other counties and cities with a slight surplus as well as those large households who have already married, value the financial resources of the Chu family and the title of the wife of the Goddess of Agriculture in Chu Yiqing.
They all came to propose marriage with the idea of trying to give it a try. Although their intentions were not pure, Chu Yiqing asked Yingqian to write down the family background and age of all the people who came to propose marriage. They would not reject anyone who came.
During this time, the rumor that Chu Yiqing hated to marry spread again, and Chu Yiqing became famous again.
Chu Yiqing didn't care at all about what was going on outside. He hung out with A Bao and Hua Lin in the flower shed all day long, serving blue roses, and finally successfully planted blue roses in Chu Han. These delicate blue roses were planted in Chu Han.
Exhibitions in various places immediately aroused rushes from wealthy people from all over the world, and the sales were not much worse than those in Lucheng.
At the same time, the business at sea is getting better and better, because Chu Yiqing only has twelve merchant ships (one merchant ship supplies Haiying Island and claims to be under maintenance). With fewer ships and more cargo, business is extremely good.
With the current uninterrupted two-shift system of taking turns to sail to the sea, the trade between Li State and Luo State has gradually become stable.
Finally, a large amount of money came in, and Chu Yiqing was very calm. However, Mrs. Huangfu became more and more worried. Seeing that the day of marriage was getting closer, Mrs. Huangfu stopped Chu Yiqing's sign language and said seriously.
Said: "Yiqing, let's go home!"
Chu Yiqing was wearing a white lotus silk jacket and a purple silk skirt with emerald patterns. Her black hair was casually pulled into a gold ingot temple, with only a pointed silver hairpin inserted. She was carrying a small hairpin on her shoulders and was planning to have sex with Ah.
Bao went to the flower room.
"Mom, isn't this our home?" Chu Yiqing was stunned and whispered.
Mrs. Huangfu asked her to gather her husband beside her and insisted: "Let's go back to Shangjia Village. Where there are mountains and rivers, you can feel more at ease!"
