The Queen Mother nodded approvingly, then reached out and picked up another letter that encapsulated Lin Ruan's life experience and read it.

The more I read, the more solemn the expression on my face became, and in the end, it was already a little low pressure.

Mama Hong hesitated: "Queen Mother, what's wrong?" But what's wrong with what is written in this letter? ”

The Queen Mother waved away the palace maid in the room, and then handed the letter to Mama Hong: "Look for yourself." ”

Mama Hong took it and read it quickly, with a suspicious and solemn look on her face: "This Lin Xiangjun actually has such a background?!" ”

Unknown origin, child daughter-in-law, divorce......

No matter which one of these, you can't marry into King Xiao's mansion.

The Queen Mother frowned and said: "If she is just a low-ranking person, it is easy to say, she is now a fourth-grade townshipman, and when the time comes, she can still raise the grade of sweet potatoes, and it is reluctant to match Chen'er." But this life experience is so complicated, if the child daughter-in-law who quit the marriage, if Chen'er is allowed to marry her, then Chen'er is afraid that she will be ridiculed for a lifetime. This family business, the mourning family will never agree! ”

Mama Hong was a little worried: "Prince Kechen is a person with a good idea, looking at his affection for Lin Xiangjun, I am afraid that he is using his true feelings, he ......"

What she wants to say is that Prince Chen's temperament is too much like the eldest princess, and if she identifies that person, she will definitely live and die. If the Queen Mother resolutely opposes this family business, if something happens again, how can she get it!

The Queen Mother obviously thought of this, and her heart couldn't help but feel even heavier.

Her only grandson, how could she see such a notorious woman!

Mama Hong cautiously persuaded: "The Queen Mother should not be too anxious, the old slave sees that Lin Xiangjun is a decisive person, and that family has a beastly heart, it is really not easy for her to ......get rid of it."

The Queen Mother waved her hand with a calm face: "Don't say these words again." I know she's not easy, but what's the use. ”

Mama Hong was afraid that she would be angry and didn't dare to say anything more.

The Queen Mother looked at the letter, and her head hurt, how good is this!

It's been more than a month.

In the past few days, thanks to Lin Nguyen's method of exchanging work for food, the victims of the disaster in Huzhou have been properly resettled in various places, so they will not continue to travel north, and the pressure on Kyoto and along the way has been suddenly relieved, and various places have also benefited from this.

For example, this autumn sowing, in previous years, farmers from all over the country needed to contribute their own efforts and be busy for nearly a month to get it all right.

Now, at the cost of a single meal, every family can ask refugees to help with their work, and the work can be done quickly and well, but the cost is negligible.

Many projects that were originally shelved for various reasons have progressed rapidly in the past half month, and the local parents and officials have all smiled.

And Lin Ruan, who came up with this method, naturally benefited from it.

The 100 acres of wasteland she bought also sowed the first crop. In addition, she also bought a batch of manpower.

Although the method of exchanging work for food is very good, there are still many refugees who choose to sell their bodies or sell their children. After all, human life is not just as simple as filling your stomach.

As a wife of the imperial court, it was naturally inappropriate for Lin Ruan to come forward to buy people, so he entrusted this matter to Uncle Zhou and them, and helped buy a batch of girls in the name of his family.

People in troubled times are cheaper than grass, and a girl boy only needs two or three taels of silver.

Lin Ruan didn't take advantage of the fire to rob, and the price he gave was still the usual price, one person, ten taels of silver. Therefore, many refugees cried and shouted and begged Uncle Zhou to buy their own children, which also made Uncle Zhou feel uncomfortable for a lot of time.

If it weren't for the fact that life couldn't go on, who would want to sell their children?

Uncle Zhou discussed it with the family, and also spent money to buy a few people who had to use it, and distributed it to the Qin family and Zhou Lian'er.

The Qin family saw that it was about to give birth, and it was not okay to have no one around to serve them, but it was cold soon, and the business of Xunwei Ji had to be started, and there were no people in the slaughtering workshop, so he bought two little girls and a mother-in-law for the Qin family.

Zhou Lian'er is also about to get married, and Lin Tiezhu's current identity and net worth are not as good as ordinary villagers, so he prepared two little girls for Zhou Lian'er.

These two little girls were picked by Aunt Zhou, they look average and are honest, but they are quick with their hands and feet, and they do housework very well.

Lin Ruan bought nearly two hundred people.

These people ranged in age, some were a few years old, some were in their twenties, and the older ones were all sent to various branches, and the younger ones were first placed in the mansions of the county seat and Qingzhou City, and invited two Xiucai to teach them to read.

These people will be her reserve talents in the future.

Lin Ruan only explained these things, and Lin Tiezhu and Lin Fu ran errands to do it.

And she herself sent a letter to Xiao Jingchen, informing him that it was time to harvest the sweet potatoes.

In the past month or so, they have only exchanged two letters.

Neither of them is a person who likes to talk about their thoughts, especially Lin Ruan considering that he must be very busy in Huzhou, and he doesn't want to be distracted, so the content of the letter is almost a bit businesslike.

I thought that Xiao Jingchen should not be able to spare time to come over, but I didn't expect that early in the morning on the day of the agreed harvest, Xiao Jingchen rode a horse and hurried over with a group of people.

Among these people, half are Jinyiwei, and the other half are officials from Qingzhou, and Chen Zhizhou and Qin Zhixian are also among them.

When Lin Ruan rushed to the gate to greet her, he saw him sitting on horseback, looking at her with longing in his eyes.

I haven't seen him for more than a month, Xiao Jingchen has lost a lot of weight, and it must be very hard to come to Huzhou.

Suddenly, Lin Ruan's heart ached a little.

However, in front of so many people, she was embarrassed to show anything, and saluted Xiao Jingchen very formulaically: "I've seen the prince." ”

Xiao Jingchen turned over and got off the horse, and helped her up in front of everyone: "How are these days?" Were you scared? ”

The officials who came with him were all taken aback, this is still the cold-hearted and cold-faced Xiao Wangye, who has never been disdainful of women?

Lin Ruan couldn't help but feel a little hot, but he tried his best to calm himself down, not to embarrass Xiao Jingchen in front of these people.

So he got up with Xiao Jingchen's strength and said with a faint smile: "Everything is fine." ”

Then he turned around, looked at the officials and said, "Your Excellency, you have worked hard all the way. ”

The official hurriedly saluted her: "I've seen the countryman." ”

Xiao Jingchen didn't make too intimate moves, and after helping Lin Ruan up, he asked her to lead the way to the backyard.

The officials followed Lin Ruan to the backyard, and saw that the sweet potato vines with still lush and dense leaves covered the vegetable field tightly like a green carpet.

It was the first time for these officials to see sweet potatoes, and they all looked strange.

After Lin Ruan pointed to the sweet potato vine and explained it to them, it was only then that Zhong Bo and the others began to cut the sweet potato vine.
