Shen Rong's family of four played in the farm for a day and returned to the Marquis' Mansion before the sun set.

Here, Chen Yuan bought some medicine and went home to sit there for the whole afternoon.

Until, seeing that Gu Zhaoming was about to get off work, Chen Yuan went into the kitchen and steamed a bowl of bird's nest.

The bird's nest was just steamed when Gu Zhaoming got off work and returned home.

Chen Yuan dressed up specially and went inside to wait for Gu Zhaoming.

Ever since Shen Yuan beat Gu Zhaoming last time, the two have been in a cold war.

Gu Zhaoming stayed in Qu Lian's room all day, and because Liu was there, Chen Yuan could not find an opportunity to attack her.

It would be better if I was in Tanhua Village without so many concerns.

Now that Gu Zhaoming is so cold and heartless to her, it is not an exaggeration for Chen Yuan to say that she has given up.

In order to achieve his goal this time, Chen Yuan had to show weakness.

Before Gu Zhaoming entered the room, he stood in the corridor with his head lowered, waiting for someone.

As soon as Gu Zhaoming entered the door, he saw Chen Yuan standing in the corridor waiting for him.

He originally had nothing to say to Chen Yuan, but Chen Yuan was his wife after all, and she had ignored him for dozens of days. It was a rare opportunity for her to be humble, so he didn't want to deny her any face, so he went into the east wing with Chen Yuan with a stern face.

In order to achieve his goal, Chen Yuan was not as tough as before. He was angry and talked back to Gu Zhaoming. He was gentle and considerate.

"Husband, why have you lost weight?" Chen Yuan looked at Gu Zhaoming's face with concern.

Gu Zhaoming touched his face. There were many things going on in the court today and he was busy all day. Also, he was upset because Chen Yuan was quarreling with him and he hadn't had a good rest for several days.

"Well, what's the matter?" His tone was still cold.

Chen Yuan took a deep breath and smiled as he uncovered the bird's nest on the table. "Since you have been so busy these days, I steamed a bird's nest for you as my apology..."

Gu Zhaoming didn't think much about it. He just thought that they were husband and wife after all, and it was not a good idea to remain in this stalemate.

Now that Chen Yuan was willing to give him a way out, he could only take this way out.

Gu Zhaoming nodded, "That's thoughtful."

Chen Yuan's smile deepened immediately. He quickly served a bowl of bird's nest for him and himself, and said softly:

"My dear husband, please have a taste of it. I cooked it myself. Mother also has some. I have asked Luzhu to deliver it."

Gu Zhaoming's expression suddenly eased a lot. He picked up the white porcelain spoon in the bowl and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Chen Yuan smiled slightly, "My husband has worked the hardest. I was ignorant before. Please don't hold it against me..."

As Chen Yuan spoke, she watched Gu Zhaoming eat up the bird's nest in the bowl bite by bite, and the smile on her face became more gentle.

After this day, the couple seemed to have returned to the way things were before.

Gu Zhaoming kept a private kitchen at Chen Yuan's place for three consecutive days, without any suspicion of the intentions of his lover.

Since Chen Yuan fed the medicine to Gu Zhaoming without his knowledge, he no longer cared whether Gu Zhaoming went to his concubine or not, and was busy making money every day.

Baiweizhai in the capital was hers, but Chen Yuan still felt it was not enough and planned to open a rouge shop.

Before this, she asked her family to send people to Yunmeng County to get back a lot of rouge recipes, some of which looked very similar to the rouge and powder she made according to recipes from later generations. It was because of this that she took the risk and designed a plan to steal the recipes.

Of course, some of those prescriptions were developed by Zhang himself.

The people under her studied it for a long time and, according to her method, they managed to make several lotions, creams and ointments.

This gouache shop was finally able to open.

Chen Yuan opened a rouge shop, so naturally he also made a secret visit to those rouge shops in the capital. Naturally, he knew that Shen Rong and the second wife of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion opened a rouge shop together.

Chen Yuan had some doubts about the gels and creams in Shen Rong's shop.

However, Chen Yuan did not dare to underestimate the Shen family.

Grandpa Shen is a skilled doctor, so it's not surprising that he knows some beauty recipes.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan's doubts were dispelled.

Time flies, several months have passed, and in the blink of an eye it is September 9th.

Now that the weather has gotten cooler, Shixianfang no longer sells watermelons and has replaced them with a lot of seasonal fruits.

From the grapes, pomegranates, apples, pears, oranges, and fresh dates that have just arrived in autumn...

These fruits looked ordinary, but they tasted much better than ordinary fruits. People in Beijing who were used to eating the fruits from Shixianfang still sent servants to the shop to buy fruits every day.

Pears sell best in autumn, but business still cannot compare to watermelons in summer.

Shen Rong didn't feel it was a pity.

The watermelons she grew were like a no-cost business. In one summer, the profit from the watermelons alone was more than 60,000 taels of silver.

This is the case when Shen Rong controlled the number of watermelons. If not, I'm afraid she would have earned more money from selling them.

But Shen Rong was already very satisfied.

Although making money is important, your secrets must not be discovered. It is always better to be careful.

Shen Rong was so happy to have earned so much money.

But before she could be happy for long, she heard something unhappy again.

This year's autumn harvest is the worst in recent years.

After the drought, the crops in the fields did not have a good autumn harvest, just as the experienced farmers had predicted.

Although it has not reached the point where there is no harvest, there is still not enough food to eat, not to mention that we have to pay taxes.

Due to a reduced yield in the autumn harvest, the grain prices in the capital, which had slowly dropped in the summer, began to rise again.

The first two farms that Shen Rong took over showed no signs of reduced yield due to the rice planted behind Changsheng, and each bunch of rice ears was bigger and more numerous than before.

On the day of harvesting rice, Changsheng went up to help in shorts.

In the name of taking care of her, Shen Rong also came to live in the manor.

During the day, the two of them watched the farmers harvesting rice and threshing millet.

At night, the two of them quietly came to the place where the rice was stored, took out some of the rice that Changsheng had cut from the space, and mixed it in.

Shen Rong and Changsheng had been preparing since the farm started preparing to harvest the rice.

Changsheng had been planting rice for several days in a row. When the rice was ripe, he harvested it and tied it up, waiting for today's opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Shen Rong didn't put in too much, so she didn't have any doubts.

Anyone with eyes can see that the farmers in the village have a good harvest this year!

When everyone thought of this possibility, they were extremely happy.

At this time, Changsheng stood up and reminded everyone not to tell anyone about the bumper harvest in the village.

After hearing Changsheng's words, the farmers didn't feel like they were being poured cold water.

Nowadays, even the most insignificant ordinary people have their own survival wisdom.

The situation in most areas of the north was bleak, but their farm had a bumper harvest. If you tell others about this, not only will others not be happy with you, but you will also be remembered by others.

Changsheng hit everyone on the first day of harvest while they were eating.

Everyone got more food than before, so naturally they didn't want to be noticed. Those who originally wanted to show off, after being warned by Changsheng and the village head, dared not utter a word.
