Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

Gu Xiling leaned gently into Zhou Jin's ear and whispered, "I'm worried that someone will destroy the corn."

"Ah?" Zhou Jin was startled, his eyes showing astonishment, then turned cold, "Who is so brave?"

Gu Xiling snorted, "You are an ambitious person who doesn't want to see the world at peace and the people living in prosperity and well-being, but only wants the world to be in chaos and the people to suffer!"

Zhou Jin suddenly realized, "The common people live and work in peace and contentment. If someone wants to rebel, the common people are unwilling to respond, and there will be no chaos in the court."

"Yes!" Gu Xiling nodded. "Let's tell the public that it will be two days later. Just treat it as a deception. Don't dawdle. Let's get all the villagers together! I'll help too."

Zhou Jin held Gu Xiling's hand and said, "The corn leaves scratched your face, it was painful and itchy, and there was a red mark. I couldn't bear to let you suffer!"

"If you're really worried, just continue to supervise the threshing floor! That will be considered as doing your part!"

Gu Xiling thought about it, then nodded, "Okay!"

Gu Xiling found the head of the village, Old Man Li, and asked him to notify everyone in the village to pick corn, but not to cut down the corn stalks first.

Old Man Li was slightly stunned. "Madam, didn't you say it would be two days later?"

Gu Xiling whispered, "More and more people know that corn is being harvested, and I'm worried that someone will cause trouble!"

Old man Li was shocked, remembering that someone had destroyed the wheat.

"I'm going to ask people to harvest wheat, not corn! Corn is a better name! It sounds nice and auspicious!"

Gu Xiling smiled and said, "This was renamed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself. It sounds nice and tastes good! Now that it has finally matured, we should harvest it as soon as possible."

"Yes, Madam Crown Prince." As the head of the village, Old Man Li enjoyed a very high prestige in the village. After he said a few words, men, women, old and young all came out of their homes.

Old men, women and older children were picking corn cobs in the fields and putting them into sacks.

The men carried sacks full of corn cobs to the edge of the field, placed them on ox carts, and pulled them to the threshing floor.

There were only ten acres of land in total, and the sun was still shining high in the sky, but we had already harvested all the crops.

Corn grown in different ways should be placed in different locations and marked.

Eunuch Xu and the people he brought followed from beginning to end without any deception.

Eunuch Xu did not think that Zhou Jin, the son of the Marquis of Changning, was making a fuss out of nothing. This was something that His Majesty valued, how could anyone dare to destroy it?

At this time, Eunuch Xu glanced at Wang Shiwen who was not far from the threshing ground.

The last time this prince came here, he destroyed a corn plant that had not yet fully grown, and was beaten up by him.

The prince donated a lot of farm tools and the matter was resolved.

Although it is very deliberate, as long as Wang Shiwen is willing to do it, it is better than some officials who are numb and just sit there doing nothing.

Gu Xiling saw Wang Shiwen busying around, "Master Wang, sit down, drink some water, and take a rest!"

Wang Shiwen actually didn't want to do this a long time ago, but he had to do it in order to perform well.

Now that Gu Xiling brought the water, Wang Shiwen was very happy. "Thank you, sister-in-law!"

To be honest, today is full of tears.

After coming out of Chunfeng Tower, he took the generous gifts prepared by Dachun and left the city.

Who knew that the carriage broke down not long after they had gone.

By the time the guards and their men repaired the carriage, it was already past noon.

As luck would have it, I took the wrong road again and did not meet the prince's carriage returning to the city.

But he had already arrived at the farm, so it was not easy for him to just walk away.

I’ve given you a generous gift this time, I can’t give it away for nothing!

So Wang Shiwen turned his eyes and saw that they were harvesting corn, so he shamelessly stayed to help.

"You're welcome!" Gu Xiling smiled and winked at Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin waved his fan and said, "Brother Wang, the sun is setting, you should go back early!"

When Wang Shiwen heard this, he shook his head like a rattle. He had gone to great lengths to come here and had worked for an entire afternoon. Was it just to leave a good impression on Eunuch Xu?

of course not!

Just now he had roughly estimated that this wheat, no, now it is called corn, is indeed very productive.

He didn't see the prince when he came today, but he was sure that His Majesty attached great importance to corn and would definitely come.

Wang Shiwen would certainly not easily miss such a good opportunity to show up in front of His Majesty.

"Brother Zhou, I wasted a corn cob last time because of my rashness! Later, my sister-in-law reminded me to donate farm tools to make up for my mistake."

"Although your majesty has not pursued the matter, I still feel very guilty. Now it is the time to harvest corn, and I will feel uneasy if you don't let me help out!"

"Even if you don't have room to entertain me on your farm, I can sleep on the threshing floor. I want to witness the arrival of auspicious signs. This is a blessing for the Kang Dynasty and the people."

When Zhou Jin heard this, he was stunned. Why didn’t he think Wang Shiwen was so shameless before?

The calculations could be heard by everyone in the capital.

Gu Xiling took a round fan, gently covered half of her face and smiled.

This Wang Shiwen is quite good at scheming, no wonder he rose to high positions in his previous life.

Although she didn't know whether he had stepped on Zhou Jin to rise to the top in his previous life, Gu Xiling was certain that only by being tactful and able to save face could one be at ease in officialdom.

Gu Xiling will not change Zhou Jin now, because she knows very well that it is difficult to change a person's character.

Even if she talked her mouth off and said all the right principles, at most it could make Zhou Jin become restrained and lose his free and easy style, but it would not change Zhou Jin's temperament.

Therefore, Gu Xiling thought it would be better to go with the flow and ask Zhou Jin to be a little more careful in writing less sour poems and fewer poems criticizing the imperial court.

If you are dissatisfied, don't express it with words, but take action to change it, which is more effective.

Expressing dissatisfaction with your mouth will not only alert the enemy, but also make you a target of attack, which is not worth the loss.

By playing to one's strengths and seeking truth from facts, no one can harm Zhou Jin in the slightest, nor can anyone undermine the foundation of the Changning Marquis' Mansion.

"My husband, since the prince is unwilling to go back, I will have someone clean up the yard and prepare a place for the prince and his servants to live."

Gu Xiling doesn’t dislike being smooth, nor does she dislike people trying to climb up the social ladder, but it depends on what means are used.

If Wang Shiwen wasn't such a wicked villain and hadn't stepped on Zhou Jin to get to the top, Gu Xiling wouldn't bother to deal with Wang Shiwen.

On the contrary, Gu Xiling will not show mercy.

Zhou Jin was startled, watching Wang Shiwen drink the water and go back to work, blinking his eyes, "Madam, don't you dislike Wang Shiwen? You say he is good at calculating and jealous of me!"

Gu Xiling shook her head and chuckled, "You just chased him away, but he refused to leave. Did you use a broom to chase him away?"

"This..." Zhou Jin was stunned. His relationship with Wang Shiwen was not that bad. After all, they once fought together to "fight against the traitor" Li Guojiu.

Gu Xiling smiled, "At this stage, he only cares about your talent. As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. You have been suppressed by others since childhood, and anyone with a bit of blood will not accept it."

"Let's not talk about anything else. Take Li Mu who came today. He seems to be respectful to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but he may not admire His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from the bottom of his heart. Except that the Crown Prince can be reincarnated, Li Mu may think that the Crown Prince is inferior to him in every way."

Zhou Jin was shocked. His wife was so bold!
