In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.

They were all very grateful to Bai Lu: "Thank you, Lady Bai. If it weren't for Lady Bai, we would probably still be suffering in Prince Cheng's mansion."

Zhao Fushang sighed and said, "You don't know how long we have suffered in Chengwang Mansion."

"Although King Cheng promised not to touch us, he didn't give us any good food!"

"And at night, we just have to sleep in the hall."

"There was all sorts of stuff in that hall, including human fingers... and even vomit. Even though it was cleaned up, the smell still lingered."

As they said this, they looked disgusted: "...We are suffering from this. Oh, I can't eat or sleep."

"It made us lose a lot of weight."

A fat businessman with a big belly sighed and said with a very sad face: "If I go home, my wife will definitely worry about me!"

"After all, I have lost a lot of weight, at least 20 pounds!"

"Hey, Mr. Song."

They smiled and said to Mr. Song: "You have lost 20 pounds, your wife might be happier!"

"Otherwise, what are you going to do if you sleep with your wife and press her down?"

"a ha ha ha."

"..."

They all laughed.

Bai Lu smiled when she saw how happy they were.

She said to them, "It was not easy to get this rice before... Now that you are all out, I feel relieved."

"I have to thank Lady White a lot."

They thanked Bai Niangzi again and knelt down before her.

After that, he said to Lady Bai solemnly: "Our entire Liangzhou Prefecture will be your Bai Lu's network in the future."

"Bai Lu, do whatever you like."

"Even if you become the richest man in Liangzhou Prefecture after Bailu, we won't say a word to you."

After all, they can survive, so it doesn’t matter if Bai Lu earns some money from them, and she doesn’t earn much.

After that, Bai Lu made money, probably because she owned a rice shop.

I heard that most of the rice shops in Huai County are open during the Bailu season.

Shen Congyun next door makes even more money. He opened the Shen's Rice Shop and made much more money than Bai Lu's rice shop.

I heard...he is already the richest man in Xiangshan County.

But Bai Lu is not much behind. She has long been the richest person in Huai County.

It is estimated that now, Bai Lu can be ranked as the richest man in the county in the entire Liangzhou Prefecture.

They all looked at Bai Lu with great admiration and said to her, "Mrs. Bai has great foresight. Even though we have suffered some losses at this time, we still admire her."

"After all, having strategy and foresight is also part of strength."

Most of these people are the richest people in the county. They are more far-sighted than the richest people in the town, so even if some of them are not happy in their hearts, they will be a little more polite to Bai Lu.

People like Bai Lu are far-sighted and strategic, and they are not people they can afford to offend.

Who knows what will happen to them in the future.

Bai Lu smiled at them and said, "Thank you for your compliments."

These wealthy businessmen had a meal at Bai Lu's home and left a lot of things there, such as books, calligraphy and paintings, rare collectibles, clothes and fabrics, and then left.

Bai Lu and the others were dazzled by seeing such a large pile of things.

The seven little moons were very excited, they liked the fabric very much.

“We all want those beautiful fabrics.”

“I want to make little skirts.”

"I want to be a shangru!"

"I want to make a skirt."

“I want to make a headband!”

"..."

Bai Lu nodded with a smile, "Okay, okay."

However, after all, the fabrics from Liangzhou Prefecture are not as exquisite and beautiful as the ones Bai Qingze brought back from Kyoto.

But...this is the fabric that was carefully selected by those wealthy businessmen.

They were also very happy to make clothes for the seven little moons. Although the fabrics were not as beautiful as the ones Bai Qingze brought back, and not as particularly precious, they were also unique.

That was a fabric unique to their Liangzhou Prefecture, and it came in all sorts of colors, but there were no particularly novel ones.

They called Mrs. Huang over and asked her to make three sets of clothes for the seven little moons.

I also made a few sets of clothes for Leng Bingnian.

By the way, she also made a few beautiful skirts for herself, embroidering many patterns on them, and some were even decorated with pearls.

I also made a lot of new jewelry.

Just like that, he gave Huang Niangzi twenty taels of silver just for her labor fee, which made Huang Niangzi very happy.

She said directly that she would make something for their family next time.

These things have not even been used up yet, and there is a pile of them in the warehouse, while they have started to renovate the house again.

Bai Lu knew very well that her current identity was different from before. She was now the richest person ranked high in the entire Liangzhou Prefecture, and would soon be able to reach the position of the richest person in Liangzhou Prefecture...but now she was hiding it.

If she hadn't hidden it, she would probably have been one of the top five richest businessmen in Liangzhou Prefecture.

Since her identity is different, she should change her clothes. She can't always wear the same clothes as before.

If embroidery is necessary, then embroidery should be done; if expensive fabrics are necessary, then wear expensive fabrics, otherwise people will look down on you.

Bailu made several beautiful clothes for herself, such as the twelve-broken fairy skirt embroidered with lotus flowers in Yuhua brocade and silver, the brocade carp skirt embroidered with colorful brocade and gold, the plain skirt with cloud and mist gauze, the twelve-broken fairy skirt embroidered with peony flowers in colorful brocade and gold, the pleated skirt with Titian silk and silver embroidered lilies, the pleated skirt with cloud and mist gauze and gold and silver embroidered peach flowers, the skirt with jade brocade and silver embroidered calla lilies and pomegranates...there are all kinds of styles.

I also bought a lot of gold, silver, jade and crystal hairpins, which look very beautiful when I wear them on my head.

As a modern person, Bai Lu has a good aesthetic sense, which is even a bit unconventional.

Everything she puts on looks good, and she knows how to match it together. She doesn't look like those nouveau riche who suddenly made a fortune. Her face is very fresh and elegant, even fairy-like, like a divine concubine.

This was seen by the women of Lianhua Town, and they all vied with each other to imitate Bai Lu.

In the past few days, the mayor and the county magistrate have both taken office. They both specially visited Bai Lu's home, took back the official seals, and brought a lot of gifts to Bai Lu and the others.

The mayor and the county magistrate obviously respected Bai Lu very much. They all knew that Bai Lu was a capable assistant to His Royal Highness King Cheng, and he also transported so much rice to Liangzhou Prefecture.

King Cheng was very happy and liked Bai Lu very much.

Naturally, they did not dare to look down on Bai Lu in any way.

Plus... they knew that Bai Lu looked weak and delicate, but she managed to carve out a niche for herself among a group of men. She was a completely ruthless person!!!

Oh, how scary!

(′???`)(′???`)(′???`)

What's more, I heard that General Lin Canghai... wanted to marry Bai Lu, but King Cheng rejected him.

The reason was: "You have to make great military achievements before you can marry her."

"Otherwise, how can you be worthy of Lady Bai? After all, Lady Bai is a wealthy businessman ranked among the top in Liangzhou!"

"..."

Hearing this, the mayor and the county magistrate did not neglect Bai Lu when they visited him to take the official seal.

How could they dare to be negligent in the slightest? If they were to be negligent in the slightest, they would not only be beaten up by Lin Canghai but also by King Cheng.

So, no one dared to say a word, and they all smiled like Bai Lu, treating him like a grandson.

"..."

Bai Lu couldn't help but twitching her lips when she saw this scene, and said to the mayor and the county magistrate.

"You don't have to be so afraid of me. I'm just an ordinary citizen."

"?????"

But the dozens of women around you are not ordinary at first glance. Not only are they good-looking, but they also walk so lightly, like ghosts... They don't seem to be ordinary guards.

This damn thing... must be a secret guard!

And there are as many as fifty or sixty of them. If they were ordinary people, how could they have so many secret guards?

Besides, who could be so liked by King Cheng?

......Okay, okay, you are an ordinary citizen.

You are an ordinary citizen!

(??皿?) That’s enough!

They all looked at Bai Lu with sad faces and pouting lips, as if they had suffered a great injustice or heard a huge joke.

It's as if the poor are watching the rich showing off their wealth.

"?"

"..."

Bai Lu was silent.

She is really just an ordinary person, don't think of her as something fierce, okay? !

After the mayor and the county magistrate left, Bai Lu touched his chin and spoke to Bai Chuyao, Bai Liezhao and Bai Qingze with a serious mind.

"...The world seems a little upside down..."

"I always feel like something is not right, but if you ask me what it is, I can't tell you..."

If you can't tell what's wrong with you, does that mean you're crazy too? !

Bai Lu touched her chin, her face darkening: No, no, no, I absolutely cannot fall.

But when she went to bed at night, she had a terrible dream.

After having this dream, she felt... as if the world was upside down.

Damn, it’s crazy.

She dreamed of a woman who looked somewhat similar to herself, looking at her with a loving expression.

Moreover, he brought the three brothers of the Bai family to his side and said to Bai Lu: "Hey, my dear daughter... This is your eldest brother, Bai Chuyao."

"This is your second brother, Bai Liezhao."

"This is your third brother, Bai Qingze."

"It's been so long, and you still haven't recognized each other. Your mother is so anxious watching you!"

"???"

Bai Lu was confused.

She looked at the woman.

I only saw that woman...I couldn't actually see her face clearly, but my subconscious told me in the dream that that was my mother.

Moreover, her face looked three points similar to mine, and the capable temperament she exuded was also very similar to mine.

But, be more gentle than yourself.

And after that, the woman showed Bai Lu the phoenix hairpin on her head, as if half showing off.

"This was a gift from the Queen to me. She gave me a pair."

"In fact, not only do you have half, the other woman also has half."

"...My dear daughter, sometimes...don't let yourself be too wronged."

"If you encounter any difficulties, just ask the Bai family for money. Half of the Bai family's money is still yours."

After saying that, she woke up.

Bai Lu scratched her head and when she woke up, she saw that it was already midnight.

Candlelight flickered all around.

Ever since staying in the cellar for a while, the seven little moons seemed to be a little afraid of the dark, so recently Bai Lu lit candles at home.

Even at night, she would not put out the candle.

If children suffer great shocks, traumas, etc. when they are very young, it is very likely that they will suffer from mental health problems in the end.

Her children were still young. They had seen so many people rushing in with knives and swords and tying them up... How could seven little moons not be scared?

So Bai Lu has been trying hard to tutor them recently, staying with the children all the time and telling them that they will be safe as long as they are here.

Moreover, he and Leng Bingnian came up with a plan. Leng Bingnian pretended to rush in and tie the rope for fun...

Of course, it’s not about tying up the seven little moons, but about letting the seven little moons tie up Leng Bingnian.

Leng Bingnian let them tie him up with a happy look on his face, which made them think that this was actually nothing.

Hasn't Leng Bingnian been kidnapped many times?!

That's their older brother.

If their older brother actually let them tie themselves up, it means that being tied up is nothing.

The seven little moons gradually got better.

After September, it is the beginning of winter in December, and the Chinese New Year is approaching.

The Bailu shop's business is booming.

And from the front... there was also bad news, that is, the war had broken out.

Dawu and Liangzhou Prefecture officially went to war.

Although Dawu had sent soldiers here before, for some unknown reason, they were only stationed outside for a few months.

But there was no war.

The war will not start until the New Year.

Later, Bai Lu heard Bai Chuyao, Bai Liezhao, and Bai Qingze say, "The reason why the war didn't start is because... this is not something that can be fought casually."

"If we go to war, we will need enough food and fodder, soldiers and horses. Liangzhou Prefecture has plenty of food and fodder."

"Dawu naturally got the news, saying that Liangzhou Prefecture had obtained a lot of food and grass, and Liangzhou Prefecture had enough soldiers...more than 100,000 soldiers, plus enough food to last for a long time."

"Wouldn't it be stupid to take action at this time?"

"When winter comes in Liangzhou Prefecture, they will take action again."

"In this case, some of the food and grass will be consumed, and Liangzhou Prefecture does not grow food in winter."

"But you have to know...the Jiangnan area is a time when grain is plentiful."
