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

"Gu Xiling, stop right there." Zhou Jin looked at Gu Xiling, who was running away happily like a deer in the woods, holding up her skirt, and quickly chased after her.

Gu Xiling laughed loudly, a clear laughter that was distant and pleasant to the ear.

Lai Fu looked at his own prince's insincere expression and shook his head and laughed.

The corners of her mouth were clearly curled up, and she was secretly happy, but she still pretended to be angry.

He could obviously catch up with him in just a few steps, but he chose to slow down and pretend to chase behind.

Xiulan smiled secretly, "Brother Laifu, there are some kids over there catching small fish and shrimps, can you go with me to buy some? For lunch, we can make fried fish and fried shrimps, okay?"

Lai Fu's eyes lit up, "Great, fried fish is my favorite, thank you, Xiulan."

Lai Fu smiled like the God of Wealth in the New Year pictures. He followed Xiulan to the creek and bought some small fish and shrimps.

As for the Crown Prince and his wife, they are flirting with each other and don't need their service!

By the time Zhou Jin caught up, Gu Xiling had already walked into the field where seedlings had just sprouted.

Zhou Jin couldn't continue chasing because he was afraid of stepping on the newly grown seedlings.

At this time, Old Man Li from the farm was also at the farm, wanting to know what good things the owner had planted.

In their minds, the master's family came from a marquis's mansion, which meant they were nobles in the capital.

If noble people think something is good, it can't be bad.

They care more about it than Gu Xiling and Zhou Jin.

Not only did he come to check on her often during the day, he also sent people to guard her at night.

Gu Xiling said to the guards, "Your Highness is good at painting. Today is the ninth day since these corns were planted. Please paint their growth."

Seeing that Gu Xiling was talking about serious matters, Zhou Jin had to give up the idea of ​​teasing Gu Xiling.

"Business is more important, I'll spare you today." Zhou Jin was determined to win the battle, and glanced at Gu Xiling with a rather arrogant look.

Zhou Jin not only drew it, but also recorded the growth conditions on the side, classifying the five planting methods into different categories.

Although Old Man Li is illiterate, they know how to farm and can judge which method of growing will produce good crops based on the conditions of different experimental fields.

Zhou Jin wrote these down one by one.

In fact, Gu Xiling guided Zhou Jin to do all these things, so that Zhou Jin could be down-to-earth.

Even if you write poetry, there is no need to write some meaningless sarcastic verses.

He enjoyed his mouth but lost his official position!

However, Zhou Jin no longer likes to write poetry and started writing field notes.

No matter how late or tired I am every day, I will record the interesting things that happened that day.

Gu Xiling read it and found it very interesting.

For example, he saw a rabbit hit a tree and got knocked unconscious. The rabbit in the story of waiting for the rabbit by the tree was really so stupid.

For example, he saw an old man fishing all day without catching any fish. The old man was so angry that he broke his fishing rod and vowed not to fish again.

Unexpectedly, the next day, I changed to a new fishing rod and went fishing before dawn.

……

Gu Xiling liked to read the interesting farm stories written by Zhou Jin the most. He even recorded the children catching birds and drew them.

A child was defecating in the grass by the river and was caught on the butt by the long beak of a goose. His pants were half pulled up and he was also depicted crying for his parents.

Gu Xiling saw it and laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.

"The prince's painting skills have improved ever more." Gu Xiling came over to praise him. Her little mouth was so sweet and her words seemed to be coated with sugar.

Zhou Jin raised his eyebrows. He was proud of Gu Xiling's praise, but said modestly, "Not bad."

After Zhou Jin finished painting, Gu Xiling carefully cleaned it up.

The sun is getting higher and it’s a bit hot, so let’s go home together.

I happened to meet Lai Fu and Xiu Lan who bought half bucket of small fish and half bucket of small shrimps.

Zhou Jin was secretly envious when he saw Lai Fu smiling so hard that his teeth were showing.

Lai Fu, you’ll soon get the beauty!

What about him?

Forever!

Zhou Jin was in a very depressed mood, but when he ate the crispy fried fish and shrimps at noon, he felt better!

Gu Xiling was like a little hamster, with bulging cheeks, eating fried fish and shrimp one after another.

Paired with fresh vegetable soup, the meal is simple and delicious.

Compared with Gu Xiling's ordinary and interesting life in the countryside, Gu Xirong's life in the harem is full of chaos and intrigue.

In just three days, Mrs. Xie consulted the doctor five times.

Sometimes I have a headache, sometimes I have stomachache, and sometimes my eyes are foggy and I can't see clearly...

At first, Xie Jin was worried about his mother. After all, she was his biological mother, how could he not care about her?

Even though Xie Jin was a filial son, he could tell that his mother was faking illness and became so angry that his face turned blue.

"Mother, every time you see a doctor, it costs at least twenty taels of silver, regardless of whether he prescribes medicine or not. With my salary and the only one hundred acres of land in our Xie family, can we afford to support you like this?"

"You've been tormenting Xirong, tormenting me, and tormenting the entire Xie family. When my career is hopeless and I can't make any progress, will you be satisfied? If so, I will resign now. It's better than you pretending to be sick and tormenting others all day long."

"Twenty taels of silver?" Madam Xie was stunned, and then she blurted out, "He is not an imperial physician in the palace, how can he charge such a high fee? Jin'er, don't be fooled by Gu."

Xie Jin's eyes were filled with disappointment. He was full of ambition, but was held back by his own mother.

"There is only one hundred taels of silver in the account now. I have a great use for Xirong's dowry. If you don't want us to starve and have no new clothes for the changing seasons, please stay put."

After saying this, Xie Jin turned and left with a gloomy expression.

This is indeed the case. There is indeed no money in the account.

Gu Xirong took out all the dowry that could be converted into cash, prepared five thousand taels of silver, and borrowed another five thousand taels of silver from a money house.

He has asked people to go out and purchase medicinal herbs that are commonly used to eliminate wind-heat and wind-cold and treat diarrhea.

In less than two months, you can earn several times more.

Compared to my wife, my mother is so ignorant!

Mrs. Xie thought Xie Jin was trying to scare her and didn't believe it, so she called the accountant.

Upon learning that Xie Jin had sold Gu Xirong's dowry and taken away all the money, leaving only one hundred taels of silver in the account, Mrs. Xie's body went limp and she fainted.

After waking up, Mrs. Xie was filled with anger and picked up the cup to smash it.

Suddenly I thought of smashing this set of cups. I don’t have money in the account to buy new ones, so I had to give up!

The pretense of illness was exposed.

I want to spend money but I don’t have any.

You can't punish Gu Xirong by making her kneel down.

For a moment, Mrs. Xie didn't know how to make things difficult for Gu Xirong without spending any money.

At this time, the old nanny beside Madam Xie offered a suggestion, "Madam, the reason why the young lady is so fearless is because she is favored by the young general?"

"The Major General is fascinated by the Young Madam because the Young Madam is the only one in the Major General's room."

Madam Xie's eyes lit up when she heard this. "Is there anyone in the mansion prettier than Gu? If not, then...then go out and buy her!"

Although she felt sorry for the money, Mrs. Xie was willing to use her private money to buy a beautiful woman to distract her son from his exclusive love for Gu Xirong and make things difficult for her.

The old nanny was quite capable. Her younger sister became a human trafficker and got a skinny horse from Yangzhou.

In fact, the money given by Mrs. Xie was not enough, but this was the money that was confiscated and sold from the home of an official who had committed a crime. It was unlucky and also a sign of illness.

The old nanny took thirty taels of silver from Madam Xie, and in the end only spent ten taels of silver to redeem herself, and another five taels of silver on medical treatment.

She made a net profit of fifteen taels of silver.

Half a month later, the old nanny brought the girl named Xiaodie in from the corner gate of Xie's house.

According to Mrs. Xie's previous style, she would have directly drugged her son and sent Xiaodie to Xie Jin's bed, but she didn't dare to do that now.

So there was a maid who sang music and opera in Mrs. Xie's yard. She had a beautiful voice and a graceful figure. Even when Xie Jin came to pay his respects to his mother, he couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.
