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

Zhou Jin's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

Farming book?

He had read so many books about farming in his life that he could count them on one hand.

The reason for watching it was not to understand the people's sentiments, but to prepare for the imperial examination.

The old lady pondered for a moment, then looked at Gu Xiling with great satisfaction, "Xiling, you are such a wonderful woman."

Gu Xiling shook her head and said she was not worthy of it. "Grandma, how can I be called a remarkable woman? I just grew up among the common people and look at things from the bottom. I don't just keep my eyes on the top and think about climbing up."

When Zhou Jin heard Gu Xiling's words, his face felt hot.

He is the one who studies what His Majesty likes and tries his best to show it, hoping to be noticed and get promoted by doing some big things.

As for the saying in the book "the people are more important than the king", he understood the meaning. When the people suffered disasters, he was cynical but could do nothing.

He was a smart man and was well aware of the intrigues, flattery and bullying in official circles.

It's just that he is aloof and disdainful.

This resulted in his style of acting, appearing aloof on the surface but cynical on the inside.

Gu Xiling's words just now were like enlightenment, opening a whole new door for Zhou Jin.

"Grandma, can I edit a farming book?"

The old lady was startled, then smiled, "My grandson has been extremely smart since he was young, and has a very high level of understanding. Whether it is literary and military strategy, poetry, or songs, they are all excellent."

"Even if I compile an agricultural book, my grandson can compile an agricultural book that benefits the country and the people and will be passed down through the ages."

Zhou Jin was encouraged by his grandmother, and his handsome face became more lively.

He turned his eyes and looked at Gu Xiling again, "Gu, what do you think?"

Gu Xiling smiled and said, "Ten days later, if the prince still has this idea, I will comment on it. Now that you have eaten and drunk enough, it's time to get to work."

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren continued to work.

The old lady was tired, so she was helped back by the maids.

A handsome and lovely newlywed couple were sweating profusely under the scorching sun in the field.

Zhou Jin's waist became more bent because of working, but his heart was more steadfast and his steps were more steady.

The weather suddenly changed and dark clouds gathered.

Deep in the dark clouds, thunder could be heard faintly.

Spring rain is as precious as oil, and farmers are very happy.

At noon, the raindrops became bigger and bigger, and hailstones as big as dates fell to the ground along with the rain.

Gu Xirong looked at the hail mixed with the rain outside the window and laughed out loud. She had made the right bet!

At this time, Xie Jin was busy with his colleagues in the Ministry of War until a "crackling" sound was heard outside.

Xie Jin put down the book in his hand, walked quickly to the window, and saw crystal clear hail rolling on the ground.

"Five days later, there will be hail at noon."

Dreams come true.

Xie Jin kept repeating in his heart, "A gentleman does not speak of strange things, supernatural powers, or gods"...

After one stick of incense, the hail ended.

Xie Jin also watched the hail for a whole incense stick of time.

The original suspicion and uneasiness were gradually replaced by joy.

If Gu Xirong's dream could come true, wouldn't he be able to predict the future from Gu Xirong?

Take advantage of it, deploy in advance, and seize the initiative.

Why should Xie Jin worry about not being able to rise to prominence, hold a high position and receive a high salary, and be promoted to a higher position?

If he wants a woman to be devoted to him, he must completely win her heart.

After getting off work at night, Xie Jin passed by the famous Baiwei Pavilion in the capital and bought some lotus cakes that Gu Xirong liked the most.

Gu Xirong was wearing a white crescent-shaped skirt, a blue cape, and a graceful bun. "Go and pay your respects to my mother-in-law."

Xiuzhen was stunned, "Miss, don't go, it's still raining outside!"

Gu Xirong spoke sincerely and her voice gradually became louder.

"I have been feeling unwell these past few days and I shouldn't have gone to pay my respects to my mother-in-law. Even if it was raining, I should have paid my respects to my mother-in-law as a daughter-in-law."

The old woman guarding the door lowered her head with contempt in her eyes.

In the Xie Mansion, it seems that the Madam is still in charge.

Xiuzhen had no choice but to hold an umbrella for Gu Xirong and go to the main courtyard of the Xie family together to pay their respects to Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie was delighted when she learned that Gu Xirong came to pay her respects.

The anger that had been accumulating over the past few days reached its peak at this moment, as if it had found an outlet.

"Gu, don't think that you are arrogant just because Jin'er didn't let you come to pay respects. I haven't seen you in the past few days, which shows that you don't care about me, your mother-in-law."

"If I let you go, you will definitely become even worse in the future, disrespecting your mother-in-law and bringing shame to the noble reputation of the Xie family. Kneel outside and stand up when you realize your mistake."

"Mother taught me that everything is Xirong's fault." Gu Xirong was scolded so much by Mrs. Xie that she couldn't even raise her head. She slowly knelt outside the door and let herself be wet by the spring rain.

As the sky darkened, the rain became colder.

Gu Xirong was so cold that her face turned pale, her lips turned blue, and her body was shaking.

When Xie Jin returned home, he went straight to Gu Xirong's courtyard, but did not see Gu Xirong.

Upon learning that he had come to pay his respects to his mother, Xie Jin's expression changed slightly. He had always known that his mother treated Gu Xirong badly.

But that was his mother, so Xie Jin could only mediate between the two sides, and most of the time, Gu Xirong was wronged.

But now, whether it is Gu Xirong's identity or her "dream come true", it is a shortcut for him to rise to the top in the future.

Nothing can happen to Gu Xirong.

In addition, he couldn't let Gu Xirong feel resentful and become alienated from him.

In this case, my old mother will have to bear the brunt of the consequences.

Xie Jin was tall and strong, and also skilled in martial arts, so he ran quickly to the main courtyard.

When Gu Xirong heard Xie Jin's steady footsteps behind her, she seemed to be unable to hold on any longer and fell to the ground, shaking.

"Xirong!" Seeing this, Xie Jin's tone was full of concern and worry.

He ran to Gu Xirong, picked her up, and his eyes fell on her pale face. He also felt that his mother was going too far.

"Mother, Xirong has been respectful to you since she married into the Xie family, but why can't you tolerate a virtuous daughter-in-law?"

"Do you still remember who you picked out for me before? No matter their family background, talent, or appearance, none of them can compare to Xirong?"

"You were anxious when I didn't get married; you bullied me when I got married. Without Xirong, where can mother find a good marriage for me? Is there any other girl who is loyal to me, Xie Jin?"

Mrs. Xie originally wanted to complain to her son, but before she could open her mouth, she was retorted by her son, her face turned red and she was dumbfounded.

"Jin'er, you are such an unfilial daughter-in-law..."

"Mother, don't talk nonsense. There is no daughter-in-law in the world who is more filial than Xirong. Xirong has been patient for my sake, but mother is relentless and keeps asking for more."

"All of you, don't think I don't know that you helped Madam bully the Young Madam. I thought that Xirong was weak and I could let her rest so that Mother would restrain herself, but I didn't expect her to get even worse."

"Come here, all the maids and servants in the yard will be beaten with 20 sticks as a warning to others. If they do it again, they will be beaten to death!"

The people behind them caught the maids and servants in Madam Xie's yard, gagged them, and beat them with sticks.

"Stop, don't hit them." Mrs. Xie tried to stop them, but no one listened to her.

Seeing that her son's heart and eyes were filled with Gu Xirong, Mrs. Xie was furious.

After being a widow for many years, her heart was twisted, as if her man had been taken away from her.

There was only one thought in her mind, that she and Gu Xirong were irreconcilable and would fight to the death!
