Reborn to be replaced, remarried to the royal palace to raise children and train husband

In Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Upon learning that the perpetrators were beaten up by the people and even sent to the government office, Mother Luo was not too angry.

"What a bunch of rubbish."

"Gu Qinlan is indeed not a simple person."

However, she still refused to give up and wanted to meet Gu Qinlan.

After some thought, she picked up a pen and wrote a letter to Gu Qinlan.

Before it got dark, the letter was safely delivered to Gu Qinlan's hands.

At the beginning of the letter, Luo's mother expressed her sincere apology to Gu Qinlan, admitting that she had come up with a rather bad idea because she was eager to meet her. In order to express her apology and compensate the loss of the restaurant, she also attached a silver note of 500 taels of silver. Then, she used sincere and sincere words to beg Gu Qinlan to take out his precious time to meet her.

Her attitude was humble, full of awe and humility.

After reading the letter, Gu Qinlan simply replied with two words: "No." Along with the letter, he also returned the banknote.

After receiving this short reply, Luo's mother was filled with anger and dissatisfaction.

"This Gu Qinlan is really ungrateful! I have already bowed my head so low, but she is still so arrogant!"

Wei Lin, her confidant, looked gloomy and suggested, "Mom, why don't I send someone to bring her here by force?"

Mother Luo glared at him and said seriously, "Do you know who she is? She is the wife of the Crown Prince! Although she is not the wife of an official in the court, she is also the wife of Zheng Dinglian. If we bring her here by force, do you know what serious consequences will occur? Besides, her house is full of spies from all sides. If there is any movement, the people above will know immediately. Do you think I am not dying fast enough?"

Wei Lin shut up after hearing that.

Mother Luo's face was gloomy, and she gritted her teeth: "No matter what, I have to see her! From tomorrow on, you must keep a close eye on Prince Duan's mansion. Once she steps out of the mansion, you must report to me immediately."

She didn't believe that Gu Qinlan would stay in the mansion forever without taking a step out!

"As ordered!"

However, Gu Qinlan didn't care about Luo's mother's plan. She had many busy matters to deal with every day.

News came from Zhuangzi that the water in the fields had dried up due to consecutive days of sunny weather, and the tenants began the intensive work of replanting.

They planted most of the fields with a variety of legumes and root crops, as well as some leafy vegetables.

It is midsummer now and there are still three months before wheat sowing. If we speed up, we will still have time.

Other farmers are also replanting their fields, but they are choosing millet and rice.

Although the yields of these crops may not be high, they are better than having no harvest at all.

Many people began to laugh at Gu Qinlan's tenants, "Are you really crazy? You don't grow food but grow vegetables and beans. The court won't buy these things."

When they learned that this idea came from Gu Qinlan, their laughter became even louder: "How dare you listen to the words of a government official's wife who has never stepped out of her house? If she doesn't buy these crops, let's see how you will deal with it."

While smiling, the tenants were actually feeling uneasy. They were worried whether the landlord would really accept these vegetables in the future. After all, if no one was interested in these worthless and perishable vegetables, they would probably end up being a waste of money.

Therefore, the tenants found the manager of the farm and insisted that he issue them a written receipt as proof.

Faced with such a situation, the manager felt at a loss as to what to do and had to report the matter to Gu Qinlan.

After hearing the news, Gu Qinlan simply took out some silver and paid half of the deposit to the tenants first. As for the remaining half, he would settle the payment according to the total value when the harvest came.

When the tenants received the money, their doubts were finally resolved. They even couldn't wait to run to show off to those who once laughed at them. Seeing the envious eyes of the tenants, they felt extremely proud.

After Gu Qinlan learned about this, she could only smile bitterly.

At the same time, the reconstruction work for the people affected by the disaster in the city was also in full swing. The several porridge stalls set up by Prince Duan's Mansion never stopped, providing white porridge and pickles for three meals a day, in addition to free boiled water.

Among the people who came to receive porridge and boiled water were people busy with reconstruction and beggars in the city.

Those who have received favors from the Prince Duan's Mansion are all full of gratitude to the Mansion and express their thanks to it one after another.

Some wealthy families were also inspired and followed suit, building porridge stalls and starting to distribute porridge.

Xiaoman and Chushu went out every day on behalf of Gu Qinlan to supervise the porridge distribution work. They saw that other people's porridge stalls attracted a large number of people and also took away some of the honor of Prince Duan's Mansion, so they naturally felt unhappy.

After returning to the mansion, Xiaoman couldn't help but complain to Gu Qinlan: "Those people are really shameless. They are not helping others out of their true feelings. They just want to take advantage of the opportunity to gain fame! We have worked so hard to distribute porridge for so many days, but now they come to interfere and take away most of the good reputation."

Gu Qinlan smiled and comforted him, "A gentleman's behavior is more important than his heart. If we talk about the heart, no one can be perfect. Now that more people are doing good deeds, more people will be helped, and this will reduce our pressure."

"Also, although they are latecomers, they can never compare to us who started first. The people naturally have their own standards."

Chushu also smiled and added: "Madam is right, we just need to do what we want to do, and the right and wrong will be judged by the public."

Gu Qinlan nodded slightly, expressing her agreement: "Indeed."

As time went by, summer was coming to an end, the weather was gradually becoming cooler, and the reconstruction work in the city was finally completed.

At the same time, news about disasters in other places also came one after another.

This sudden natural disaster has caused the number of people affected to exceed one million.

When Gu Qinlan heard the news, her heart felt as if a taut string was suddenly pulled, causing her unbearable pain.

"Hongye, go buy some bricks and rubble tomorrow and make sure to reinforce and raise the wall of the courtyard."

Hongye asked suspiciously, "Miss, are you worried that those displaced refugees will flood into the city?"

Gu Qinlan nodded slightly: "That's right, the number of people affected this time is staggering. Jindu is a transportation hub leading to the capital, so we must make full preparations in advance."

Hongye put forward her own opinion: "Then, it would be best to add a few more guards. The original guards in the mansion..."

The Prince Duan’s Mansion does have guards, but their abilities are really disappointing. Even Hongye can defeat them easily.

Gu Qinlan pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, then buy a few strong servants and train them well. But you must choose them carefully. There are only women and children in the mansion, so we can't be careless."
