I fought back after reselling my engagement

The mean princess still wants a good ending. Even if she escapes death, she will live a life worse than death in the future.

Once he enters the brothel, he will no longer be able to live a peaceful life even if he meets Zhen Yuan again.

Once you are sent to a brothel in Yangzhou, the madam will use all kinds of methods to teach you a lesson, so how can you keep your innocence?

Su Zhen asked: "Did Zhen Yuan arrive in Fuzhou safely?"

"If he doesn't take action, the Supervisory Guard will definitely take action. Since he did it cleanly and efficiently, let him live."

Later, Zhen Yuan was appointed Tongzhi in Fuzhou and married the daughter of Zhang Fuzhi, a local merchant in Fuzhou. Zhang was rich and had a generous dowry. She was seventeen years old and beautiful. She was the younger sister of the third concubine of the Fuzhou magistrate. The matchmaker was the third concubine of the Fuzhou magistrate.

Zhen Yuan never returned to the capital city in his life. After marrying a wife, he had a son with her. His second concubine gave birth to two daughters. His wife and concubine only wanted to live a stable life.

The mother and son of Zheng in Beijing did not go to Fuzhou, but Zheng's eldest son went to Fuzhou to visit Zhen Yuan after he came of age. Zhen Yuan asked him to stay in Beijing to guard the family business of the eldest son's family. As for Fuzhou, the son of his first wife would start a new branch in the future. After his death, he would be buried in Fuzhou and would not return to Beijing.

Zhen Yuan was forgotten by everyone. While serving in Fuzhou, he was a sixth-rank Tongzhi until the end of his life, and the prefect of Fuzhou changed one after another until several years later, when there was a saying that "the Tongzhi is permanent, but the prefect changes frequently". Thanks to his wife Zhang's family being a wealthy local family, he was able to hold the position of Tongzhi securely.

Everything about his early years in the capital gradually became blurred as the months passed, even when Old Lady Zhen passed away without returning to the capital. Zhen Yuan sent his loyal servant back to the capital to check on the mother and son of Zheng in the capital and leave some money for self-defense.

The Zhen Mansion in the capital was a large house with three courtyards. After Zheng's eldest son got married, the large house was sold and replaced with two two-courtyard houses and one one-courtyard house. The one-courtyard house was given to the youngest daughter as a dowry, and the two sons each had a two-courtyard house.

The eldest of Zheng's two sons had the title of Juren, and the second son had the title of Xiucai. The imperial examination system of the court became more detailed and strict, and the rules of recommendation for official positions were abolished. In addition to the emperor's reward of official positions and bestowal of Jinshi titles, important officials of the third rank and above could also obtain hereditary official positions based on their merits to protect their descendants.

The glass group from Baixianzhuang left, leaving no one behind, and all of them followed the people from the court to the capital.

Su Zhen converted the former glass-making workshop into a paper-making and printing workshop, dividing it into two. He also recruited craftsmen who knew how to make paper and those who were proficient in carving. After watching their paper-making process, he gave them guidance and instruction.

The printing house used movable type and block printing.

Su Zhen said, "I didn't write The Phoenix in the Palace."

People around her: The princess is very humble. Others try every means to become famous, but she is afraid of becoming famous.

Su Zhen couldn't explain it, so he wrote a storybook called "Lu You and Tang Wan". After repeated revisions, it became a poignant and touching love story.

In the 19th year of Dezhi, Su Zhen wanted to celebrate the New Year with his grandparents' family.

They got up early on New Year's Eve, picked green vegetables and leeks from the manor's glass greenhouse, found two red peppers from the mountains, took the seeds to grow pepper seedlings, and now the peppers have produced and there are ripe eggplants. They picked up two large full baskets, loaded them onto the carriage, and returned to Yueyang Prefecture with their men and horses.

Chunjiang learned two days in advance that the county lord would return home to celebrate the New Year, so he dried the quilts and cleaned the house.

Cui, along with her maids and servants, stood at the side door, looking at the approaching carriage, unable to hide the smile on her face.

Su Zhen got off the carriage.

Chunxiao and Xiaoluo arranged for the officers and soldiers to carry down two baskets of vegetables, which were covered with old quilts.

"These are vegetables grown in the glass greenhouse at Baixian Manor. They will enrich your dishes during the Chinese New Year."

Cui's mother lifted the quilt and found a basket full of fresh vegetables. They were surprisingly green, just like spring vegetables. "Oh, it's not easy to eat vegetables in winter, especially such fresh and tender leeks."

There were also a few handfuls of sweet potato leaves, also emerald green, but they couldn't recognize them.

The other basket contains green peppers and eggplants.

Su Zhen said: "Chunxiao and Xiaoluo have found some new dishes. When you want to make green peppers and sweet potato leaves, just call them over."

In winter, we can eat green leafy vegetables and even dishes we have never seen before. This brings great honor to the Grand Marshal's Office. During the New Year, officials such as the Yueyang prefect will inevitably visit, and even if we prepare a banquet, it will be quite honorable.

Cui said, "Aunt Cui, send the dishes to the kitchen and tell them not to touch them. Prepare the New Year's Eve dinner in the afternoon. Let Xiao Luo go to the kitchen to help and teach the cook to make new dishes."

"Here——"

Cui held Su Zhen's hand and said, "It's so cold, why didn't you bring a hot water bottle with you when you came out?"

There were no hot water bottles before. It was Su Zhen who brought the blacksmith to make several copper hot water bottles. Cui and Su Jingzhai both received new gifts, and the emperor in the palace also got several hot water bottles of different styles, which were very interesting.

Some are flat, some are apple-shaped, some are rabbit-shaped, some are smiley-face-shaped, and some are gourd-shaped. They are filled with hot water and stay hot all the time, and feel very warm when you hold them in your hands.

After winter came, Su Jingzhai held a hot water bottle in his hands all day long. He was old and afraid of the cold.

The same was true for Cui. She had two hot water bottles that she used in rotation. She filled them with hot water at night and placed them at the foot to warm her feet.

In early winter this year, Su Zhen invented a velvet quilt, which is made of a mixture of silk and duck down. It is light and warm. If there is a cotton quilt next year, it will be even warmer.

Because there were large chicken and duck farmers in Baixianzhuang, Su Zhen opened a braised food shop in Yueyang Tower, specializing in braised chicken and duck. The term "braised food" did not exist in the Da Qi Dynasty yet, so he used Chinese medicinal materials in the braised dishes, which were full of fresh and fragrant flavors. The shop was named "Wuwei Braised Food Shop", and the business was booming as soon as it opened.

This shop belongs to Su Zhen. The earlier Yunyifang and Yunrongfang have all become Su's shops. Cui only looks at the account books every month, and there are managers in the shop to take care of everything.

Cui held Su Zhen's hand tightly and walked towards the backyard. Not far away, she saw a beautiful woman in bright clothes standing at the intersection: she wore a pearl and gold hairpin on her head, and a coral hairpin...

The pearl rings on her head were very dazzling, like a walking jewelry shop. She wore a red coral necklace around her neck. The bright red coral was as big as a pigeon egg and was embedded in a palm-sized necklace plate, which was not too heavy.

Cui was a little annoyed.

The beautiful woman bowed and saluted, "Jin Miner greets the Third Madam and the Princess!"

Su Zhen's face suddenly understood.

Cui said, "I am your eldest brother's gift of a concubine. Your eldest brother will be in Tanzhou as a county magistrate before the first day of February. He was afraid that he would miss the trip after the New Year, so he arrived in Yueyang Prefecture a few days ago."

"The surname is Jin, could it be someone from my aunt's family?"

"That's right. Your sister-in-law's niece was taken in at the beginning of winter. We want to keep your sister-in-law by her side to show respect to her. The two little princes are too young to travel far, so they will stay in the capital."
