The Rise of a Farm Girl

Wang Laosan at the Sinong Mansion has been very busy recently. He has finished growing the sweet potato seedlings and is now planting them.

After the planting was completed, he taught his subordinates how to manage it. Wang Laosan left early these days and came back late.

Both his son and his daughter are married, and the situation in the court is changing rapidly and full of intrigue.

It was really not suitable for him, so when Wang Laosan had nothing to do that day, he asked his son to write a memorial to resign from his official position and return to his hometown to farm.

The two sons also wrote memorials to the emperor, requesting that they be assigned to Huaqing County to serve as officials. Wang Laosan also wanted to return to his hometown because the drought in Huaqing County had been alleviated and several heavy rains had fallen.

Many refugees who fled famine have returned to their hometowns. The village chief of Wangjia Village and all the clan members of Wangjia Village have rushed to Wangjia Village in Daqing Town, Huaqing County a few days ago.

They wanted to return to the village where they were born and raised. Wang Jingru and Zhan Wang had no plans to go back, but they wanted to build a boat and sail on the sea to travel and see if there were any inhabited countries on the sea.

The only ones who were reluctant to be separated from their daughter were the old general and his wife, so they decided to move to Wangjia Village with their daughter.

The memorial was submitted to the emperor and he approved it quickly. Since Wang Laosan had limited abilities and this was already the best he could do, Wang Laosan's two sons also planned to return to the county to benefit the people.

Wang Youliang was appointed as the prefect of Shanhuanzhou, and Wang Youjin was appointed as the magistrate of Huaqing County. Although Wang Laosan resigned and returned to his hometown, his two sons served as officials in the local area and were able to protect their parents.

There is also a son-in-law of the war king, who dares to bully him? The old general and his wife heard that the emperor had approved their son-in-law to resign and return home.

The old general and his wife hurriedly packed up their things in the house. He wanted to go back to the countryside with his daughter and son-in-law to live out his retirement.

The general and his wife had already gone to guard the border. Their two sons, Yuwen Sheng and Yuwen Li, were to be taken away by the general's wife. The only ones left in the mansion were Yuwen Qi and Yuwen Guang.

Yuwenqi often left the imperial city, while Yuwenguang was an official in the court. Yuwenguang was not very happy because he was the only one left in the imperial city.

Wang Jingru and Prince Zhan are still in the imperial city, so all the things in Sinong Mansion must be cleared out. Since they have resigned and returned to their hometown, the mansion must be returned to the royal family.

Wang Jingru waved her hand and put all the things that her parents couldn't take away into the space. She gave her parents a lot of banknotes, because they still had to build a house after returning home, and they had to buy some missing things.

Wang Jingru and King Zhan spent some peaceful time in the imperial city. Their parents, grandfather, grandmother, two brothers, and sister-in-law had already left the imperial city, and their two cousins ​​were also taken away.

Wang Jingru gave a lot of silver bills to King Zhan and asked him to send people to build two large ships. The couple planned to go out to sea and travel around.

Although they had already built a large ship by the sea, the emperor did not agree. The King of War is the god of war who defends the country, so how could the emperor easily let the King of War go out to travel?

Prince Zhan has arranged for people to build a large ship on the seashore these days. After the arrangements were completed, he went to the palace every day because the emperor did not agree. As an official of the court, he could not leave the imperial city.

Xuanyuan Lei heard about it, and planned to go with his fiancée. But before leaving, he planned to marry his fiancée and become a real couple.

Xuanyuan Lei's wedding date has been set, and it will be within seven days. During these days, Xuanyuan Lei has not only been busy with the wedding arrangements, but also has to go to the palace every day to ask the emperor to allow them to go to sea.

The emperor refused to agree no matter what and hid away from the two of them for the past few days.

Xuanyuan Lei used his ultimate move, "Uncle Huang, my brother-in-law, the King of War, and I, have a great advantage in going to sea. I heard that there are many countries on the other side of the sea."

Their country has many things that our country doesn't have. I can exchange our country's specialties with them. Our country has cloth and silk.

In exchange, they brought back seeds from other countries and all kinds of strange and exotic things. And we didn't go there and never come back.

Xuanyuan Lei and Zhan Wang took turns to persuade the emperor, and the emperor finally succumbed to the temptation and agreed to their request.

Xuanyuan Lei and Zhan Wang succeeded in persuading them, and while Zhan Wang was busy going to the nearest coast to supervise the progress of shipbuilding, Xuanyuan Lei was busy with the wedding arrangements.

Xuanyuan Lei married the daughter of a wealthy merchant, so as for the betrothal gifts, Xuanyuan Lei used enough betrothal gifts, one hundred and twenty betrothal gifts, and sent them to the wealthy merchant.

This wealthy businessman was the richest man in the imperial city. His name was Fu Caifa. Fu Caifa prepared 120 sets of betrothal gifts for his daughter.

Add to that Xuanyuan Lei's 120, 240 dowry, the numbers are not good, and 40 more, 280 dowry. It was even more glorious than Wang Jingru's wedding at that time.

On the day Xuanyuan Lei got married, he circled the imperial city twice. The dowry was like a long dragon. On one side, the dowry had already entered the mansion, and on the other side, it was still on the street, forming a long dragon that stretched for a long distance.

The parents carried the things to the warehouse and filled it up. When there was not enough space, they put them in the wedding room where Xuanyuan Lei and his family were having their wedding.

Xuanyuan Lei's stepmother's eyes lit up when she saw so much dowry, so she was also particularly enthusiastic about Xuanyuan Lei's daughter-in-law.

I thought that as the mistress of the house, I could take her dowry and help her manage it.

He also heard that Xuanyuan Lei was in a hurry to get married because he and his wife were going on a trip, which gave her the opportunity to manage the dowry.

As soon as they left, he would move all the dowry away, just like what those families said about all the property disappearing overnight, and then all these things would become hers.

The more Princess Gong thought about it, the more excited she became. So she treated Xuanyuan Lei's newly married wife even more enthusiastically. She quickly asked the kitchen to prepare a table of food and bring it to the new house.

Princess Gong pulled over Xuanyuan Leixin Qujing's daughter-in-law Fu Ya and said enthusiastically, "Fu Ya! If you need anything in the mansion in the future, just tell me and I will arrange it for you immediately."

If that brat Xuanyuan Lei dares to bully you, just tell me or tell the prince and let the prince teach him a lesson.

After saying that, she pulled Fu Ya to the table and said, "Sit down quickly. You are the Crown Prince's consort now. Eat this big table of food quickly. You must be starving after being hungry all day!"

Fu Ya knew what was going on in the palace. This princess was sweet-mouthed but had a bitter heart. She was extremely evil and was so enthusiastic towards her that Fu Ya could hardly resist.

But Fu Ya was really hungry after such a long day, so she didn't hesitate to pick up the chopsticks and started to eat voraciously.

Fu Ya was simple-minded, without the intrigues and schemes of the wealthy families. He thought she should eat when she was hungry, but she lowered her head to eat and didn't see the disgust on the princess's face.

Fu Ya didn't see it, but Xuanyuan Lei did. Xuanyuan Lei was standing outside the door, which was open and not closed. The princess wanted to have a good reputation for the servants in the yard to see.

When Xuanyuan Lei heard the princess's voice, he quietly walked to the door and stood there for a while, so he also saw the princess's disdainful look.

Xuanyuan Lei's anger grew, so he walked in quickly, and the princess quickly put away her look of disgust.

Seeing Xuanyuan Lei coming in, the princess greeted him with a smile and asked, "Why isn't the prince toasting in the front yard? I see it's so late and the prince's wife hasn't eaten yet, so I asked the kitchen to prepare a table of food and send it to him personally."

Xuanyuan Lei looked grumpy, glanced at the princess and said, "Just leave after you've sent me off! Don't come to this yard in the future. You are not welcome here."

The princess also stopped smiling. Since the prince is back, I will go back. The princess still maintained her proper demeanor as a princess and left the room.

As soon as he left the room, his face fell. It was no big deal. I would move all your gold, silver and treasures away after you left.

The princess returned to the courtyard, but the prince had not yet returned and was still drinking with guests in the front yard. If the prince was here at this time, the princess would definitely make a complaint with exaggerated details.

The princess returned to the courtyard, and Xuanyuan Lei sat next to his wife. He picked up some food for her and told her that the princess had a very vicious heart and she should stay away from him. She might poison her.

Fu Ya nodded hurriedly. After finishing their meal, they drank the wedding wine, washed up quickly, and started their nightlife. As the saying goes, a night of spring is worth a thousand gold, so there is no need to waste time.

The next day, neither of them got up because Xuanyuan Lei had another conversation with Fu Ya at dawn.

Fu Ya slept until noon, and then they got up together. After getting up, washing up, and eating lunch.

Xuanyuan Lei led his own wife to the prince's courtyard. Go, go. Although his mother had passed away, he still had a father. He had to offer tea to his father.

Today, the princess was furious. She got up early in the morning and finished her meal early. She sat in the hall waiting for the prince to bring his wife to serve her tea. The prince went to the morning court and came back to sit there waiting.

After waiting for an hour, they still didn't show up. I asked my men to find out, and they found out that they hadn't gotten up yet.

The prince was so angry that he just walked away to the study, and the princess was so angry that she even smashed the teacup at hand.

The princess just wanted to act like a mother-in-law, and then she just wanted to suppress the arrogance of the prince's wife and the prince.

As her arrogance was not suppressed and she did not see the person, the princess had to return to her own courtyard.

At noon, the prince was in the study, and the couple offered him tea. After drinking the tea, the prince felt better and gave his daughter-in-law a big red envelope.

Before leaving, the prince said, "Let's go to the princess's yard and give her a cup of tea!"

The prince didn't even bother to pay attention to his father, and the prince couldn't control this son, who was even more arrogant than him! The key point was that there were people backing him up, and the emperor treated this nephew better than his own son.

When the princess heard that the couple had already served tea to the prince, but did not serve tea to her, she got angry again and smashed a set of exquisite tea sets.

The princess came to the prince crying and complaining. Prince, are you going to do anything about it? How can a newly married daughter-in-law not offer tea to the mistress?

I am the princess you married in a formal ceremony, not a concubine in the mansion. How can the prince treat me like this? After all, I am his legal mother!

Although he is not my biological son, I am not bad to him! The princess cried and threw a tantrum, and she refused to give up, insisting that the prince give an explanation.

After hearing this, the prince became very annoyed. He slapped the table hard and said, "That's enough. Stop crying all day long."

Don't you know whether you treated him well or not? I think back then how many people you sent to hunt him down. If it weren't for my son's good fortune, the grass on his grave would be so high.

You have lived in the palace together. You should be thankful that he didn't kill you with his sword. Be thankful that he still has me, his father, in his eyes. Otherwise, you would have died long ago. Get down!

After the prince shouted like that, the princess stopped making a fuss and left the study dejectedly and returned to her own room.

Since she refused to offer him tea, he could only find a way to get all the dowry. Just thinking about the dowry made him gnashing with hatred.

This mansion offered a betrothal gift of 120 sets because Xuanyuan Lei's mother's dowry was 120 sets, and there was also a dowry list.

Over the years, the princess had already regarded the former princess's dowry as her own, thinking that when her daughter got married, she would give all of this to her daughter and take it to her husband's home.

But unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Lei asked the prince for the dowry list, threatening to go to the palace if he didn't give it.

She was not in the right at first, so she did not dare to bring the case to the palace. She had spent some of it over the years, and later she picked out some jewelry of equal value from her dowry to pay for it.

The matter was just over. Thinking about it, the princess was so angry that her teeth were itching, and she was thinking about how to get these things.

Before he could think of a solution, hundreds of people came in from outside, scaring him so much that he sent servants and guards to intercept them, but they were angrily scolded by the prince.

After a while, two of these people carried a dowry, and like a long dragon, they carried all the dowry of the Crown Prince's wife out of the mansion.

This time the princess was really angry, angry about the dowry she didn't get.

He really fell ill because of the anger. His face turned pale and he kept groaning while lying in bed.

Whether he was sick or not had nothing to do with Xuanyuan Lei. Xuanyuan Lei took out 5 taels of silver notes and gave them to Wang Jingru, which was also the rent for Wang Jingru to put these gold, silver and jewelry into the space.

Xuanyuan Lei knew that Wang Jingru had a treasure that could hold everything, but his wife didn't let him know, saying that she hid these things and put them in a place where no one could find them.

When they come back with gifts, we can carry these things back to the mansion. Otherwise, when they come back, these things will be lost.

Fu Ya was also very smart. Although she was simple, she was not stupid. The princess stared at the dowry in her hand with a covetous eye every day. How could she leave so many things when she left?

She could feel more at ease if she had a place to put her things. Without her things, the princess stopped staring at the prince's yard.

Fu Ya went to the Zhan Wang Mansion every day. She got along very well with Wang Jingru. Xuanyuan Lei and Zhan Wang went to the seaside closest to the imperial city and watched the workers build boats every day.

The boat builders had very high profits, and with the design drawings provided by Wang Jingru, they were even more powerful. The boats were built very quickly.
