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

As early as two months ago, Gu Qinlan ordered the servants in the mansion to uproot the flowers in the garden and transform it into a vegetable garden. Now it is the harvest season for the fresh vegetables in the garden.

As for meat, Gu Qinlan also made sufficient preparations. Although fresh meat was hard to find, there were piles of various preserved meats and dried meats.

The Prince Duan's Mansion closed its doors and lived a self-sufficient life. Although the living standard was not as good as before, it was more comfortable than most other families.

Due to the huge amount of dried vegetables collected, Gu Qinlan asked the servants in the mansion to set up a stall in front of Prince Duan's Mansion to sell dried vegetables.

Even though it's extremely expensive, some people are still willing to buy it in order to make ends meet during these difficult times.

In the days of food and clothing shortage, the general public, especially the wealthy families, were in a dilemma of not being able to enjoy vegetables. Rumors spread that the Prince Duan's mansion had an adequate supply of dried vegetables, so these wealthy families sent their servants to purchase them in order to alleviate the embarrassment of having no vegetables to eat.

This situation quickly attracted the attention of ordinary people. They were afraid of missing the opportunity to buy, and then they would have nowhere to buy even if they had money, so they joined the rush to buy.

The mountains of dried vegetables that were once a cause for concern suddenly became hot and became a popular commodity in the market.

Zheng Huiyi witnessed the long queues of people anxiously waiting outside the mansion, and expressed her sincere admiration for Gu Qinlan's wisdom and foresight.

"At first I was worried that these dried vegetables would rot in the house, but I didn't expect that they would be exchanged for silver now. My sister's foresight is really amazing."

Zheng Huaiyu also nodded and praised: "Mother is really too smart. I could never have thought of these things."

Zheng Huiyi strongly agrees with this.

At the same time, the life of Prince Duan's Mansion was quite smooth, but the situation of the Ji family seemed a little bleak.

The Ji family had a small territory, and they were not alert to the crisis. Apart from hoarding some rice when the news of refugees crossing the border first came out, they had no other preparations. In just half a month, the vegetables at home were consumed. The whole family could only eat rice and steamed buns all day long, which made their throats dry and unbearable.

The discomfort was bearable for adults, but it was hard for children to accept. There was no food to eat, and several children cried and refused to eat.

Mrs. Ji saw it and felt heartbroken, so she urged her sons to come up with a solution as soon as possible.

Although Mrs. Ji asked everyone to discuss a solution together on the surface, in fact, the entire Ji family placed their hopes on Gu Qinlian.

After all, at present, only Prince Duan’s Mansion has vegetable supply, and it is selling it to the outside world.

Although they could also use silver to buy vegetables in the market, who would be willing to pay when they can eat vegetables for free?

Besides, the dried vegetables in Prince Duan's Mansion were not cheap, more than ten times more expensive than usual. The Ji family had limited money, so they had to spend it where it mattered most, not on such trivial matters.

Gu Qinlian and Gu Qinlan are sisters. If she asks for some vegetables, will Gu Qinlan refuse?

"This is absolutely shameless! Isn't it just some dried vegetables? It can be solved by spending a few silver coins, but you are greedy for such a small advantage!"

Gu Qinlian was so angry that her face turned blue. She couldn't understand why the Ji family, who had always maintained their dignity and respect in their previous lives, had become so worldly and unbearable in this life, and had even lost their face.

She even felt that even if she was asked to pay for the vegetables herself, she wouldn't have the face to do so, let alone ask Gu Qinlan for money.

Seeing that she had not moved for a long time, the people of the Ji family kept urging her to come back.

Gu Qinlian was so annoyed that she simply took her personal maid back to her parents' home, leaving the Ji family stunned.

"Mother-in-law, my third brother's wife has gone back to her parents' home. What should we do? Perhaps we can take out some silver from the public treasury and go to Prince Duan's mansion to buy some vegetables? It's ok for the adults not to eat vegetables, but how can the children bear it? Recently, the eldest young master has had problems with excretion. I'm really worried that he will get sick because of this."

The eldest daughter-in-law used her child as an excuse. Mrs. Ji was heartbroken when she heard it, but she couldn't afford a penny.

The family was already short of funds, and the previous flood had destroyed the house. The reconstruction cost a large amount of money, which almost bankrupted her.

She would never dare to use the remaining silver easily, as it was the money she had prepared for her own funeral expenses and the capital to support her third son in the imperial examination.

However, faced with the dietary needs of a large family, she had to find a way to solve it.

So, Mrs. Ji came to Ji Yinli's study.

Ji Yinli was writing an article in the room, while his concubine Fuling was grinding ink carefully. Usually, Gu Qinlian was very cautious about Fuling, and Fuling did not dare to approach Ji Yinli easily. But now that Gu Qinlian returned to her parents' home, Fuling finally found an opportunity to come and add some charm to Ji Yinli.

Ji Yinli was not a reserved person, and with Fuling's deliberate teasing, the two of them soon fell into passion.

Mrs. Ji pushed the door open and happened to witness this scene. She was so angry that she almost fainted.

"What are you doing? In broad daylight, do you still have any sense of shame?"

Mrs. Ji shouted angrily, scaring the two people so much that they separated immediately.

She stepped forward quickly, waved her hand and slapped Fuling in the face with a loud slap. "Bitch, who allowed you to come here to stir up trouble? How dare you delay my son's studies? Are you tired of living? Believe it or not, I will sell you thousands of miles away immediately!"

Fuling covered her slapped cheek, knelt on the ground without saying a word, and cried: "Madam, I know I was wrong, and I will never do this again."

Ji Yinli hurriedly dissuaded her: "Mother, why are you doing this? It's not her fault, it's my own fault. Fuling, why don't you leave now!"

Fuling quickly crawled out of the study.

Madam Ji was furious, "Old Third, you must not do anything stupid! This Fuling must go away!"

She cannot accept anyone who may hinder her son from getting a good score in the college entrance examination!

Speaking of this, Mrs. Ji actually felt that Gu Qinlian was quite desirable.

Although Gu Qinlian was born in a merchant family, she had a profound understanding of the importance of the imperial examination. She spared no effort to urge Ji Yinli to study hard every day, even more than she, as a mother. However, since Gu Qinlian entered the family, she no longer asked about Ji Yinli's studies.

Unexpectedly, less than half a day after the third daughter-in-law returned to her parents' home, the young woman named Fuling dared to boldly induce Ji Yinli to do something absurd in broad daylight!

How could Ji Yinli bear to part with Fuling, a woman of knowledge and taste? He immediately said, "If mother really wants to sell Fuling, then I would rather give up studying. I am also a person of flesh and blood. I will get tired and feel pressure. You force me to study every day, and Qin Lian is also pressing me step by step. I can only get a moment of respite with Fuling's company. If it weren't for Fuling's persuasion in my ear, I would have given up long ago!"
