Farming and reading family

Mo Xun is a very stubborn person. The person who can make him respect him must not only be of noble status but also have good character.

"You don't need to ask about this." Mo Xun couldn't say it.

"Why are we not allowed to inquire? Could he be the emperor or the prince?" Jin Ruyi said unhappily.

Those people are always surrounded by people when they travel, fearing any accidents. How could they possibly travel so far with only two people?

Mo Xun looked at Jin Ruyi's nonchalant expression and said, "If you make friends with him, maybe your Jin family can overturn the verdict."

Jin Ruyi stared at Mo Xun fiercely: "Who is he?"

"I told you not to ask." Mo Xun looked at Jin Ruyi's expression, knowing that she was facing the matter seriously, and turned to leave.

Jin Ruyi didn't chase after him to ask, but sat in the room thinking for a long time.

If Prince Wang can really overturn the verdict for their Jin family, then even becoming a concubine wouldn't matter.

It was hard for the Jin Dynasty because its mother was a concubine.

After thinking all this through, Jin Ruyi went to find Gao E early in the morning. When he entered the yard, he saw Gao E standing by the water tank looking at crabs.

"Why are there so many crabs?" Jin Ruyi looked at the three-foot-high water tank, which was half full of small crabs. "Now is not the time when crabs are the fattest."

"Give them to the children." Gao E asked Tian and the others to pick out the big ones and keep them. "I specially asked someone to catch them."

Children who grow too fast definitely need calcium supplements. In addition to bone soup, these shrimps and crabs with shells are also good sources of calcium.

There are many springs and streams in the mountains behind them, and there are a lot of crabs.

There were also smaller mountain crabs, but their number was relatively small, so Gao E asked them to be left alone.

When Jin Ruyi heard Gao E say this, her eyes dropped.

Gao E always considers her children, but she wants to harm her own children.

Gao E didn't notice Jin Ruyi's abnormality: "Yesterday, Prince Wang came back to Hui County, and today you come to me again. It's too obvious."

"You're still talking." Jin Ruyi looked around the yard and saw no blood. "What happened to Lianxin killing someone in this yard yesterday?"

"What happened is that the man was weak and the lotus heart fell apart after being hit." Gao E said simply.

Jin Ruyi would never believe her. Lian Xin's full strength could smash a person into pulp with a single blow. "Why don't you look worried at all?"

"Lord Xu has been here, so I can rest assured." Gao E spread her hands.

Jin Ruyi looked at Gao E suspiciously: "Do you know something?"

"What do you know?" Gao E looked at Jin Ruyi and thought she might know something.

"Let's go out for a walk." Jin Ruyi gestured.

Gao E asked Tian and the others to pick crabs, and she went out with Jin Ruyi.

There are not many people in the fields at this time, as the crops are ready to be harvested.

"What happened?" Gao E looked at Jin Ruyi with a serious expression.

"What do you think of Young Master Wang's identity?" Jin Ruyi asked directly.

Gao E paused for a moment, probably thinking that Jin Ruyi only guessed that Prince Bin was a high-ranking official, but didn't know he was Prince Bin. "To be able to get Mo Xun to follow him so obediently, he must be extraordinary."

"Mo Xun told me that he could help my family overturn the verdict." Jin Ruyi looked at Gao E with a serious expression.

Even if the Jin family's merchants were to have their cases overturned, they would probably just be restored to good status.

Gao E thought this was a good idea: "Then...what are you going to do?"

Jin Ruyi sighed, "You're right. He must already have a family, and I don't want to live under the same roof with his wife, so the best option is to be his despised concubine."

Gao E looked at Jin Ruyi in surprise: "Have you thought it through?"

Gao E had no objection to Jin Ruyi becoming Prince Bin's concubine.

The society is originally structured around having many wives and concubines, so there is nothing wrong with Jin Ruyi being single now.

"But what about Jin Chao?" Jin Ruyi hadn't thought it through. "He has a mother who is a mistress."

Gao E thought that if Jin Ruyi became someone else's concubine, people would say something, but if she became Prince Bin's concubine, not many people would dare to say anything. "How about... you discuss it with Jin Chao?"

"He is still so young, what can we discuss?" Jin Ruyi immediately refused.

"What you are worried about now is the situation of the Jin Dynasty. Who else can you discuss with if not him?" Gao E spread her hands.

That was true, but Jin Ruyi still didn't know how to negotiate.

"If you were in my situation, what would you do?" Jin Ruyi looked at Gao E.

"That depends on whether I have feelings for Prince Wang." Gao E spread her hands. "There are many ways to overturn the verdict. There's no need to be so self-satisfied as to think you've made a huge sacrifice for others."

Jin Ruyi looked at Gao E. She and Gao E were different after all: "Perhaps... Prince Wang has given up on me too."

"why?"

"I told him yesterday that I have a son." Jin Ruyi said directly.

Gao E laughed and said, "If Prince Wang is still interested in you after knowing that you have a son, then he is really interested."

Jin Ruyi didn't dare to think so: "As a prince, he wouldn't be interested in a woman with a son."

"You're overthinking it." Gao E hesitated for a moment. "Just let it be. It's normal for you to be liked by others."

The two chatted for a while until lunch time. Jin Ruyi and Gao E went back to eat together and saw many large vats at the door.

"Why did you buy so many jars again?" Jin Ruyi thought Gao E wanted to increase the amount of kimchi she made.

I thought that I could make some money from kimchi, but it was just a small job for the villagers and Mrs. Wu.

"Stock up on some food." Gao E watched Lian Xin inspecting the large vats. "With so many celebrities coming to the gathering, we can't wait until then to prepare."

"We don't have any delicacies here, so we eat whatever is available. Crabs, river shrimps, eels, mountain snails... everything needs to be prepared in advance, and anything that needs to be processed needs to be processed in advance." Gao E was not sure how many people would come, but she couldn't prepare less.

These things are available in the mountains and rivers. Gao E had people catch them and then pick out the good ones.

"Should we find a chef?" Jin Ruyi suddenly remembered, "The Chen family's chef is pretty good."

Gao E nodded: "Okay, please ask two of you to come over when the time comes."

Even if Prince Bin is in He County.

Even if Xu Boyan's plan was executed perfectly.

Gao E still has to do what she has prepared in advance. Only when the Chen family is established will others not dare to take advantage of it.

Jin Ruyi did not get a definite answer from Gao E, so she left after dinner.

Gao E didn't want to keep her either, after all, she was too busy at home.

In addition to these ingredients, there are also preserved fruits, snacks and the like.

There are many wild fruits in this season, but they are not easy to store, so they can only be made into preserved fruits.

However, white sugar is a rare commodity nowadays, which reminds Gao E of the honey that the villagers had brought back from the mountains before. She asked Luo Dagang and Lu Qingluo to follow Xiao Chuyun into the mountains to collect some honey.

When I think of honey, I think of beeswax, and then I think of the candles for the gathering that I haven't prepared yet...

Meng Xiangxian and Liang Tian were imprisoned in the cell, but Tao Gaozhi was tied to the rack, looking at Xu Boyan with a look of dissatisfaction.
