Dressed as a middle-aged mistress, I want to lie down every day

In this way, the princess's mansion first became Luo's residence. After the sign was hung at the door for a few days, Luo Zizheng found Mr. Qiu San and said that he wanted to sell the house.

Everyone knew what was going on. After going through the process, Mr. Qiu San went to see Ji Chengping again.

Ji Chengping was not pretentious, he just asked for a witness from a prestigious person in the capital. Mr. Qiu asked to see Zhong Hanlin, and Zhong Hanlin invited several other Hanlins, two of whom were the emperor's teachers.

Third Master Qiu shamelessly begged his brother-in-law again. Prince Weixing went to the palace to complain to the emperor about his brother-in-law's mischief. The emperor laughed and said, "Uncle, please give him some face. It's rare for him to do something serious for once."

Only then did Prince Weixing act as a witness.

As for the price, Ji Chengping offered a price 20% higher than the market price. Luo Zizhen then took the banknotes into the palace and said that he would keep them for Princess Qing'an's dowry.

The reason why Princess Hanshan did this was because she listened to Luo Yulan, who said that Luo Zizheng was not qualified to take the imperial examination in this life, but his children were. She wanted to use this house to establish a good relationship, and the descendants of the Luo family could also be taken care of by the Ji family in the future.

Next it was Ji Cheng'an who was busy cleaning up. The plaque on the gate read "Qingjingzhe'e", no doubt it was Ji Chengping's idea.

The house was divided into two parts. All the rooms in the front were converted into study rooms, a reading room was built in the yard, and a door was opened in the back half to connect it with the Ji family.

He Shanluo went to Jingyuan every day to copy books, and his eyes lit up every day. Shang Yuanqing was the same. He said that he would have no regrets in his life if he could finish reading all these books.

What's more, when he gets married, he will have to change his surname to Ji, and his children will be members of the Ji family in the future.

In the blink of an eye, it was August. While other families were busy celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mo Chenxi and his father were at the imperial farm, looking at piles of sweet potatoes with court officials.

Those who had been in the manor were not very excited, but the ministers were excited, and all of them came.

On the last day, after the Queen Mother and the Emperor had weighed everything, they came to the imperial farm. After listening to the numbers reported by Minister Lian, the Emperor was also excited.

He held a piece of sweet potato and looked at it again and again. The yield last time was five times that of wheat, and this time it was seven times, which was also due to the careful care.

The emperor asked, "How are the yields from the other two wastelands?"

"Your Majesty, one plot has three times the amount of wheat, and the other has four times the amount. The soil quality of the plot with three times the amount is the worst and cannot be used to grow crops."

Several ministers took a deep breath. Do they know what this means?

If we plant sweet potatoes on land that cannot be used to grow crops, how many people will be able to survive in the future?

Mo Chenxi brought out the washed sweet potatoes, and several ministers took a piece and ate it directly.

Minister Lian looked at Mo Yuanji and his daughter. No wonder the emperor gave Mo Yuanji a fifth-rank official title. With such achievements, fifth rank was too low.

The emperor also took a piece and took a bite. It was crispy.

"It's all thanks to Aunt Grand Princess. If she hadn't brought them back, who would have known that such humble sweet potatoes could be so productive?"

The Emperor then said to Queen Mother Wang, "Mother, please reward your aunt with a princess's mansion. I, the great Princess of the Great Yan Kingdom, don't even have a princess's mansion. Wouldn't that make me a laughing stock?"

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Your Majesty is right."

The emperor said, "The Minister of Rites."

The Minister of Rites stepped forward, bowed, and said, "I am here."

"I'll leave this to you."

"The minister obeys the order."

When Eunuch Liang saw Queen Mother Wang with her right hand resting on her left hand, he lowered his eyes and looked at the ground beneath his feet.

Queen Mother Wang returned to the palace, and soon the Emperor came over. No one mentioned the matter of granting the eldest princess a mansion. The Queen Mother just asked out of concern whether she had caught a cold after being out of the city.

The Emperor said, "It's all very well. It's a rare opportunity to leave the palace, and seeing the people living and working in peace and contentment, I'm very pleased. It's all thanks to your benevolence and kindness that the people enjoy peace."

The Queen Mother smiled faintly upon hearing this, twisting her Buddhist beads and saying, "Your Majesty, at such a young age, is so considerate of the people. Peace in the world is a blessing for the country."

This string of Buddhist beads was given to her by the Emperor himself on her birthday this year. He said it had been blessed and wished his mother a long and blessed life.

The Queen Mother sneered in her heart. She was only in her thirties, and the Emperor had hinted that she should concentrate on worshipping Buddha and let go of state affairs.

The Emperor smiled as innocently as before, "Mother, you toil day and night, I only wish you a peaceful and happy life."

An autumn breeze blew, the treetops in the courtyard rustled, and in the hall, the mother was loving and the son was filial.

"The weather is getting colder, and it's time for you, Your Majesty, to buy some more clothes. Yesterday, I personally selected some fabric for you. It just so happens that two of my study partners have fallen ill, so I sent a few bolts of fabric. They caught a cold while studying with me, and I feel truly guilty about it. I told them to come back after they've recovered."

"I want to find three other study companions. One is Ji Lifu, who has just returned to the clan. He is also my cousin. I heard that his father is a good teacher. Since the Ji family does not want to enter the government, I want to give the Ji family a respectable position and let Ji Lifu accompany me as a study companion."

The Queen Mother's heart tightened, but she remained calm and listened to the Emperor with a smile.

"There's also Madam Xiaojie's second son. After all, Lord Mo and Madam Mo have made such great contributions, so this can be considered as compensation to the Mo family. The remaining one is Shen Hanlin's second son, and he's also my son's brother-in-law. They're both well-educated and well-behaved. What do you think, Mother?"

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "The candidate is a good one, but Ji Lifu has just come to the capital. The Ji family has always been humble and will not agree."

The Emperor said with displeasure, "Ji Chengping has already made such a big fuss about building a reading tower. Does it disgrace the Ji family for his son to be a companion? I am not allowing a daughter of the Ji family to enter the palace as a concubine. Does that mean the royal family has to obey the Ji family's wishes?"

The Queen Mother gradually put away her smile and said calmly, "The Ji family is not the only one that can read. The Li family of the Grand Secretary's Mansion also has a suitable candidate. You also said that Ji Lifu is your cousin. Your Majesty has never been partial to anyone in all these years, so we must avoid it."

The emperor smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. It's okay. I am not a fool. The candidate of the Shen family is my future brother-in-law. Who would say anything?"

Seeing that the emperor was determined to do so, the Queen Mother no longer objected.

Mo Chenxi received a notice from the eunuch from the palace that her son Shankun had entered the palace to be the emperor's companion, so she hurried to see her father.

Mo Yuanji was also surprised. Seeing his daughter's nervous face, he comforted her, "Maybe it's because we planted sweet potatoes. It's not easy to give her any more titles. Let's find another way to reward her."

Mo Chenxi whispered, "I would rather the reward be silver. Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Who knows what the emperor's temper is like? I heard that the tutor always takes the beatings for the emperor. Shan Kun's small body can't withstand it."

Mo Yuanji laughed, "Who told you that? It's not true. To be a tutor, you need to be smart. As long as you can pass the imperial examination, you will become an important official in the future."

Mo Chenxi knew this. Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk. She did not want this kind of fortune and wealth. The fortune and wealth earned from farming was more stable.

She was unwilling and unable to change it, so she could only accept it.

"Dad, quickly arrange a marriage for Shan Kun. Who knows what those who want to marry into our family will do in the future? I think there's a good girl in Xinrong's father-in-law's family. Xinrong's daughter-in-law is calm and responsible, and can handle problems. This shows that the Li family has good family education."

Mo Yuanji thought about it and nodded.

The reason he chose the Li family for his second son was because the daughter of the Li family had been studying since childhood. She did not just memorize the "Legal Admonitions for Women" by rote, but read widely.
