Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Guaerjia sat on the ground in a daze, looking at Yixiu as if she had never met her before, "No wonder you can become Prince Yong's wife."

Yi Xiu just smiled back, "You can't always count on a man's conscience to stay alive!"

Guaerjia pondered over these words and found that it was true. It was because she could not see through the true face of the Fourth Prince that she was passive everywhere and made one mistake after another.

But it is obvious that the relationship between my father and mother at home is not like this. Although my father also has a concubine, he respects my mother and has never had any intention of taking advantage of her.

"It is said that the royal family is most particular about etiquette and rules, but why do they even treat the person next to them as an enemy and be on guard against them?" Guarjia couldn't help but ask.

Yixiu was caught off guard by this question. She pondered for a moment and answered softly, "The royal family is the place with the least rules. It's just that the people below don't know what life is like in the upper classes, so they think the rules are strict and there is endless wealth and splendor."

Little do people know that the wealth and splendor of the royal family is poisonous. The more one comes into contact with it, the more poisoned one becomes. As long as one does not climb to the top and get rid of the poison, one will end up dead without a burial place.

Guaerjia nodded, not quite understanding, and began to arrange her own affairs. "I am not going to live any longer, and I don't intend to be insulted by Nian like Qi. If you don't mind, please help me collect my body. I don't need a grand funeral, just a thin coffin and an address for my family to worship.

As for what you are asking for, I don't know much. I can only write a letter to Ama and ask him to help you contact them. Whether it will work or not is still unknown."

Guaerjia counted the things one by one, then took out paper and ink to write a letter to her family. In the letter, she clearly explained her mistakes and Yixiu's conditions, and wanted to end it like this.

But she really couldn't bear to stop writing, so she continued to write. She hoped that her father, mother, brother and sister-in-law would take care of their health and teach her nephews and nieces to be sensible. She heard that her niece was already nine years old, and in a few years she would be old enough to get married. Looking at my cousin Ruowei and me, she knew that the royal family was not a good place to go. She hoped that her family could find a family of equal status.

Having written this, Guaerjia could no longer stop the tears from falling onto the letter paper. With tearful eyes, she trembled as she wrote, "The unfilial daughter Xuantong kowtows three times in this letter." She then wrote the four words "From my father personally" on the envelope before stopping.

Guaerjia choked up as she handed the letter and the jade pendant on her waist to Yixiu, "I have carried this jade pendant with me since I was a child. Send someone to deliver the letter and the jade pendant to the opposite side of the palace. The Shiji sesame cake stall that is open in the morning will naturally be able to get in touch with Father."

Lord Guaerjia never overestimated the Fourth Prince's moral bottom line, so in addition to the people in the mansion that the Fourth Prince knew, Lord Guaerjia also specially set up such an inconspicuous contact point outside, in case Guaerjia had any important matters and had no way to inform his family.

But no one expected that the first time this place for connecting messages was used would be when life and death would come.

Guarjia thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Li Jingui outside the door, after I leave, please urge the people below to remember to deliver meals on time."

Fearing that she could not convince Yixiu, Guaerjia added, "Li Jingui is also a person with a miserable life. We don't know how long she can live. You just give her something to eat. It's better than letting her starve to death." At this point, Guaerjia herself found it funny. Li Jingui, who only had a few years to live, was still alive, but she was going to die.

Yixiu was a little surprised, "I didn't know you were such a kind person." In Yixiu's impression, Guaerjia should be a person who would take a few others with her even if she died. She didn't expect that Guaerjia would actually consider Li Jingui's life or death.

Guaerjia just laughed at herself and said, "I just can't bear to leave." It's not that she can't bear to leave Li Jingui, but she can't bear to leave the pomegranate tree outside the window, and she can't bear to... die.

When Guaerjia first came to Jinxuan, a seed floated in from somewhere. There was no sunlight where it landed, and no one was taking care of it. The branches and trunks of the tree had always been thin, and the leaves were yellow and withered.

Guaerjia would kick any passing dog, let alone a young tree that looked so full of life. She even asked for hot water and poured it on the tree every day. But the next day, when she opened the window, she found that the tree was still alive.

As time went by, Guaerjia lost interest in watering the saplings and just let them grow on their own.

After Li Jingui arrived, she also saw the sapling. She had learned how to tend flowers and plants in the Old Summer Palace, and had nothing to do on weekdays, so she thought about raising this tree. Perhaps her half-baked growing skills worked, or perhaps the sapling worked hard on its own, as it actually bloomed last year, but it was unable to bear fruit due to lack of nutrition.

At that time, Li Jingui was a little surprised and said, "This tree turned out to be a pomegranate tree!" It's not surprising, who in the backyard doesn't want to have a child? Prince Yong's mansion is naturally not short of pomegranate trees. I think the pomegranate tree was eaten by birds when it was bearing fruit, and the seeds fell to Qujinxuan along the trajectory of the birds' flight.

What else did Li Jingui say? She said she had arranged with the eunuch who delivered meals, and that he would send some fertilizer in the spring, so that they could eat pomegranates this year. Guaerjia should have despised Li Jingui for being vulgar, and by the way, how could she open the window if the fertilizer was placed under her window, but in the end, Guaerjia said nothing.

This yard is so desolate, it's not worthy of me to live in. If there is a pomegranate tree with lush branches and leaves, it would not be a bad idea, Guaerjia thought to herself and agreed with Li Jingui's words.

Guaerjia was silent for too long. When she turned around, Yixiu had already left for Jinxuan with the letter and the jade pendant. Li Jingui knocked on the door, "Master, it's time for dinner."

I don’t know if Yixiu had given instructions, but today’s dinner was extra rich. When the dishes were served, Li Jingui was drooling.

Guarjia sneered. Ulanara was still so smooth. After finishing the meal in silence, Guarjia left the table and wanted to say something to Li Jingui. She opened her mouth several times and finally ordered, "I'm going to bed early tonight. Don't disturb me."

After saying this, Guaerjia got up and left.

Guaerjia returned to the house, looked at the pomegranate tree outside the window, and closed the window. She took out a white silk from the box. This was the silk she prepared for herself when she was afraid that Yixiu would come to take advantage of her misfortune. She could die, but she could not be stepped on and insulted. Unexpectedly, it took so many years before she could use it.

The white silk was well preserved, not yellowed, and still soft and smooth. Guarjia stood on a small stool and threw it upwards, and the white silk went around the beam and fell neatly in front of Guarjia.
