A retired aunt traveled through time and space, and her daughter became rich!

It was because of what he saw with his own eyes that he pondered over it, tossed and turned, and finally made up his mind. He got on the carriage and drove as fast as he could. The journey that originally took more than ten days was shortened to eight days.

It turned out that Mr. Dong had been born into a poor family. His mother died early and his father remarried. His stepmother not only brought a son and a daughter, but also gave birth to two more sons and a daughter when she married.

A poor family, many children, the cold stare of his stepmother, and the beatings and scoldings from his biological father forced Mr. Dong to find a way to make a living early and marry into the Dong family... Yes, Mr. Dong's original surname was not Dong.

He changed his surname to Dong after he became a son-in-law.

After getting married, Mr. Dong finally had enough food to eat. When he got married, he was only fourteen years old, and his wife was the same age as him. The two of them could be considered childhood sweethearts.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. When his wife was 20 years old and had just given birth to their eldest son, the area was hit by a locust plague.

Even though the Dong family was considered well-off in the village, they were almost unable to make ends meet.

Mr. Dong carried a torn sack on his back and went into the city to find a job. If he couldn't make any money, at least he could earn some food and drink.

But in years of great disasters, even wealthy families cannot afford to keep servants and have to sell people. So where can they find odd jobs?

On the street, there are rows of people who are more miserable than Mr. Dong or more eloquent, waiting to earn a few bites of food. They are beggars, but the territory has already been divided up. Where is the place for them?

Then he heard that a steward from the Imperial City's Internal Affairs Department came to their city and wanted to select some people of clean background to enter the palace to do odd jobs.

Although I'm going to the palace to serve, it's better than waiting to die here!

The difficulty lies in the fact that once you enter the palace, you have to be castrated, and your body will be incomplete!

Some people would rather starve to death than not save their bodies.

But Mr. Dong thought, he already had a son anyway.

If we can't get through this hurdle, maybe the whole family will die, and we won't even have a son left.

So he gritted his teeth, went to the eunuch to register, and received a bag of rice and twenty taels of silver.

He personally delivered the money and food to his home, and Master Dong followed the eunuchs into the capital and the palace.

After passing the castration, Mr. Dong became a eunuch in the imperial palace.

After more than forty years of ups and downs, a lowly servant climbed to the position of chief steward of the princess's mansion.

It was three years ago that, due to some reasons that are difficult to explain, and also because he was indeed old and homesick, Mr. Dong returned to his long-lost hometown at the age of seventy.

During his years in the deep palace, Master Dong was accustomed to seeing eunuchs who were still high and mighty today and were sought after by everyone in the palace, but in the blink of an eye they were reduced to hard labor in the alleys and could only do the most menial tasks, or even be beaten to a pulp, with their skin torn and their breath gone, and then swept away on a torn mat and sent to a mass grave outside the capital.

Therefore, he has always been cautious and has never tried to buy a house in the capital and bring his wife and children to enjoy wealth and glory.

After all, many of our predecessors who died in vain did so because they brought their families with them, which made it easy for others to exploit their weaknesses, and they were forced to work for people with ulterior motives, and ultimately they did not end up with a good ending.

Therefore, eight years after entering the palace, Mr. Dong had gained some reputation and private property, and he would only ask people to send money back to his hometown.

Fortunately, the money and food they received that year helped the Dong family get through the difficult times.

My son was also raised carefully by my wife and parents-in-law.

With the money sent back by Mr. Dong, the Dong family bought houses and land, and gradually became a wealthy family.

I also have the financial resources to send my son to school.

And his son also worked hard and actually passed the exam and became a scholar!

Even though there has been no further progress since then, that was still a puff of smoke coming out of the ancestral tomb of his Dong family!

By the time of his grandson, he was better than his father and grandfather, and he even passed the imperial examination!

An ordinary juren can theoretically become an official.

But every year there are so many serious Jinshi and idle officials who return to Beijing after completing their term of office waiting. Even if you want to be a county magistrate, you need connections and strength to get the position!

In short, if he had not followed the right master and gained the trust of the Fifth Princess, how could he, the grandson of a slave, have such good fortune?

And the reason why he left the princess's mansion... maybe even though he is nearly 70 years old, he still has a trace of unwillingness in his heart?

So now, he stood in front of the fifth princess again.

Fortunately, he had not been away for too long and the Fifth Princess had not forgotten him, so it was not difficult for him to meet the princess.

"The immortal fruit that Dong Banban sent to us a few days ago came from the farm of that old lady Su?"

Although the fairy fruit was just a fruit, it was valuable because it was rare. It suddenly became popular in the capital city in the past two months.

If any of the top families did not have the immortal fruit and did not serve a few slices at the banquet, they would be secretly laughed at.

She was in a bad mood at that time and naturally had no interest in this magical fruit.

I thought it was some unscrupulous businessman who deliberately created this gimmick in order to sell it at a good price.

Instead, there were a few greedy people in the Fifth Princess's Mansion who were clamoring to taste the fairy fruit.

They just keep yelling, aren't they trying to rely on her power?

They are truly locusts. They are the ones who eat and drink all the good things.

Naturally, she pretended not to know, hoping to give those careless people a cold shoulder.

However, she didn't expect that Dong Banban, who had retired and returned to his hometown, would eagerly send her a cart of fairy fruits from Tongcheng!

Of course, although it is called a truckload, it is actually hundreds of boxes of fairy fruits, with only two in each box.

It was hot and the journey was long, so by the time it arrived at the princess's mansion, most of the food was already spoiled.

Even so, it was enough to move and interest her, a princess who had been taken care of by Dong Banban since she was a child.

This fairy fruit is very expensive, and Dong Banban is a decent person. When he was the general manager of the mansion, he would definitely not be greedy. When he returned home, he gave two thousand taels of gift and some other property.

You can't let Dong Banban spend half of your family's fortune just to deliver the immortal fruit this time, right?

Therefore, she naturally rewarded the servants who came to deliver the gifts, and also gave Dong Banban a generous reward.

And she finally tasted the famous fairy fruit!

This fairy fruit is not called this name for nothing. She likes both its appearance and taste.

As for those guys who had annoyed her before, she just waved her hand and gave two to each of them.

And Prince Consort Xia naturally got more.

Prince Consort Xia even held two banquets for this!

Although she didn't like her husband's ostentation, it was a small pleasure that Prince Consort Xia accidentally angered her shallow and vain sister, the Third Princess.

"Princess, you are wise. This is exactly what happened on the farm of this old lady Su."

"It is said that the seeds of this fairy fruit were given to Old Madam Su by a fairy, and she planted them on her own farm the first year."
