It was precisely because of the military value of cotton that the prince went to the field to test its authenticity and reliability, and then asked the Ministry of Industry to vigorously promote this technology.

rewarded Mr. Ning and Tu Manzhen for their skills, and named Mr. Ning as a four-grade respectful person, and Tu Manzhen as a five-grade pleasant. Xu Changzong was also promoted to one level and became the second-in-command of the brocade workshop.

The matter of the cotton workshop is going well, and good news has also come from Yunling.

Xu Wanzhen received a letter from Shi Jingyu that the caravan had caravan. The letter said that she had settled there and purchased a house and land.

She also signed a contract with the Xu family firm, and she was responsible for the long-term purchase of local specialties such as furs and medicinal materials in Yunling, and sold them to the caravan after the caravan came.

In addition, the caravan will also put the goods brought from the capital into her shop to sell and make a profit.

In the laws of the Gaumans, the dowry was the private property of a woman. Since she has a letter of resignation written by Gao Zhiyuan, when Changping Houfu was raided, her marriage and dowry were all safe and sound.

Speaking of which, Shi Jingyu is not short of these coins. But when she arrived in Yunling, she couldn't sit back and eat empty. With the profits from such trading, it is enough to maintain her expenses in Yunling, and she can also often subsidize Kai Ge'er.

The so-called punishment of distribution will be completed as long as the Gao family arrives in Yunling. In addition to regularly reporting to the local government, the Gao family has considerable freedom in Yunling, and is not imprisoned.

For modern people living in the global village of the 21st century, what punishment is this? It's just a different city, but the conditions are more difficult.

However, for the Gaomang Dynasty, which has inconvenient transportation and supremacy of imperial power, the Gao family was sent from the capital and all the female dependents were filled into the Jiaofang Division, which was tantamount to uprooting the family and losing its foundation.

The Gao family was raided again, where did they have any belongings at the time of distribution? When I arrived at Yunling, who was unfamiliar with the place of life, and even the customs and accents were completely different from those in the capital, I was extremely sad.

Shi Jingyu voluntarily came to Yunling to take care of Kai Ge'er's father and son, and he couldn't completely ignore the other Gao family members.

She is a weak woman, and if she wants to gain a firm foothold here, even with the help of the Xu family's firm, the difficulties can be imagined.

But in her letter, she only reported good news and not bad news. But Xu Wanzhen listened to the people in the caravan talk about her and admired her perseverance.

In addition to Shi Jingyu settling down, the Lu family brothers and sisters finally returned to Fanyang from the capital.

With the planning and layout of this small half a year, Lu Kun and Lu Minjun did not give the second room any chance to resist, and won it in one fell swoop. When the two appeared in the Lu family together, those clansmen who didn't know the truth woke up one after another.

After all, they are the grandsons of the eldest house, and the evidence of the murder of their parents in the second room was made public, which caused a lot of shock in the Lu family.

In the end, the head of the Lu family opened the ancestral hall and ruled on the matter with a group of clan elders.

The second room committed the crime of murdering the eldest son, and the ironclad evidence is irrefutable. The mastermind sinks into the pond, and the other accomplices deprive them of all their rights in the family and punish them to guard the ancestral grave.

Those who do not report it will be deprived of all their errands and delegated to various granges.

At this point, the second room of the Lu family disappeared.

Lu Kun no longer travels to study, and immerses himself in the clan to study. Vowed to win the ranking in the next big competition and revive the big house.

In September, Xu Wanzhen received several carts of generous gifts from Fan Yang. At this time of the New Year's Day, Lu's gift can only be to express his gratitude to Xu Wanzhen for helping him.

Along with the gifts, there was also a handwritten letter from Lu Minjun and a well-spoken personal maid.

said in her handwritten letter that she owed Xu Wanzhen a big favor. This favor, when Xu Wan really needs to use it, she only needs to send someone to tell her, and she will go all out.

In addition, the maid brought a unique ancient book, and according to what she mentioned in the letter, Xu Wanzhen found some clues about the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang according to the map.

According to the hints on the letter, among these carts of gifts, I found the ancestral precept in the mouth of Zhiyan at the beginning, but the secret map of the imperial tomb promised before was not among them.

Lu Minjun explained in the letter that according to these clues, she is still further tracking down the whereabouts of the secret map. Hundreds of years have passed, how can this secret map be so easy to find?

It is not easy for her to find these clues in the pile of old papers.

When she made a move, Xu Wanzhen didn't take this reward seriously. After all, it is very old, and whether you can find it or not depends on luck.

She replied to Lu Minjun, greeted the latest situation, and expressed her understanding of the secret map.

In this year, the Xu family also had happy events.

Gao Gao Yang gave birth to a daughter for Xu Changrong, and Zhu also gave birth to the eldest daughter. In the previous generation, the Xu family was all men, and there was no woman. But when it comes to Xu Wanzhen's generation, there are only two men, Xu Wenmin and Xu Wenyu in the big house.

Although Mrs. Xu is looking forward to her grandson, she is also full of affection for this granddaughter. After Gao Gao Yang finished the confinement, he gritted his teeth and brought in a room of good concubines for Xu Changrong, and stopped the other concubines from the whole room.

She gave birth to two daughters in a row, and she had a miscarriage during this period, and she could not conceive any more children in a short time.

But Xu Changrong is now prosperous in official fortune, how can he become childless? Instead of letting him be laughed at by her colleagues, it is better for her to take the initiative, at least to fight for a reputation as a virtuous lady.

Xu Wenmin is not in a hurry, he and Zhu are young couples, and some have time to take their time.

He felt that the Zhu family would not abandon him when he was down, and he had already stated his attitude of not having sex and not accepting concubines. Blooming first and then bearing fruit, what is he in a hurry about?

Xu Wenyu passed the children's test on the field, and the young man showed his glory at the beginning of the year.

There was also a washing banquet in the Zhongguo Mansion, and the Lu family gave birth to a second son, and the Zhongguo Duke named him "Jun". So far, no one can shake the status of the Lu family's concubine. There is less conflict of interest, and the relationship between her and Xu Wanzhen is further.

Wu Chao has reached the age of eight and is qualified enough to inherit the family business. Zhongguo Gong spoke, and Wu Junke has always been by Lu's side and raised by Lu himself, which made Lu overjoyed.

As soon as September passed, the heat began to subside slowly. An autumn rain and a cool, the weather is slowly cooling.

It is said that in the golden autumn of October, the sun is just right on this day, and it is warm and warm on people. Xu Wanzhen sat in the shade of flowers in the courtyard, held the notebook and read it for half an hour, then felt sleepy, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Zhiyan took a thin blanket and put it on for her lightly.

The sunlight poured down from among the tall flowers and trees, and the little spots of light reflected on her body, outlining her graceful and graceful figure.

As she fell asleep, everything around fell silent. The subordinates relaxed their hands and feet, for fear of disturbing her good sleep. The shadows of the trees are swaying, the wind is gentle, and everything in the courtyard is so quiet.

Suddenly, someone hurried in from the courtyard gate and broke the peace.
