Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

Early in the morning, they returned to the Chai Mansion. Everyone disembarked from the carriage. Ye Heng placed his son on his neck, picked up Guo Guo, and walked inside. Chai Ping'an looked at him and said, "Hey, Fengxing, I'll hold the emperor." Ye Heng said, "Grandpa, it's okay. I always do this." He led everyone in. Chai Ping'an asked everyone to follow him. He led Jia He into the mansion through the side door in a carriage. Seeing this, Butler Ye hurried to arrange for the kitchen to cook, boil water for washing, and clean the house.

Ye Heng carried Guo Guo and gently placed her on the bed. He then took his son down and placed him on the bed, covering them both with a blanket. He said, "Sleep for a while. I'll wake you up when the meal is ready." Guo Guo: "I'm not hungry. Don't wake me." Ye Heng said gently, "Okay." Huang Bao also said, "Daddy, don't call me baby. I want to get enough sleep." Ye Heng smiled and said, "Okay, you two."

He sat by the bed, watching his wife and son fall asleep, then quietly walked out, closed the door, found Qin, and told her to be quiet and keep watch. "Yes, master."

Ye Heng went to the hall, called the fourth son out and asked, "Is there anything going on in the court these days?" The fourth son said, "Nothing serious." The fourth son did not go to court often, and he often went to the military camp outside the city. That was his world, and Sun Quan was there too, each with his own camp. Seeing that he could not get anything out of it, Ye Heng went to find the housekeeper and asked, "Is anyone looking for you?" Housekeeper Ye said, "It's okay, Your Highness. I have dealt with all the small matters. I rejected several invitations and invitations, saying that the master was busy." Ye Heng said, "Okay, go and get busy." Ye Heng turned around and went back to his room. Seeing that his son Guoguo was sleeping, he went to the study to deal with some things. Important matters were sent here by the secret guards. Seeing a note, Ye Heng frowned, "Come on, someone flashed in from outside." Ye Heng said, "Go to the camp outside the capital and tell me to intensify training. I need to go for an inspection recently. Go ahead."

Ye Heng went out and rode to the palace.

In the imperial study, Ye Heng saw the emperor and said, "Uncle is destined to suffer." The emperor: "Uncle, what's wrong?" Ye Heng: "Have you received the memorial? Is there anything wrong?" The emperor: "Not yet. I'm reading today's." Ye Heng: "Read it. We'll talk after you finish." Ye Heng sat aside and drank tea.

Guoguo slept until noon, then woke up to see her son lying motionless with his eyes open. Seeing Guoguo awake, she said, "Mom, you're finally awake! Baby woke up earlier and didn't dare move for fear I wouldn't sleep well." Guoguo: "Silly son, why didn't you wake me up? Get up and pee, and go eat." Huangbao: "I'll get up by myself." Huangbao got up and put on his shoes. Guoguo: "Okay, son, you can put on your shoes now." Huangbao thought to himself, he already knew how to do it. He ran out to pee, and Guoguo followed suit. They held hands and went to the hall—the palace itself, after all, it was the princess's residence. Old Lady Li, Chai Ping'an, and their families were all there. Zhang Baohua hadn't been to the shop today; she was at home directing the cleaning, cooking, and tidying up the house. Chai Zhen had the guards clean the entire mansion, clearing out everything that needed to be cleared. It looked like the end of the year was approaching.

Old Lady Li: "Guoguo, I heard from your grandfather that you are tired. It's been three months, right?" Guoguo: "Yeah." Li Ru: "I am not always sleepy. I just sleep when I am tired." Old Lady Li: "Serve the food, have lunch." Zhang Baohua sent a message to the kitchen to serve the food. The night housekeeper brought people to bring the food. A row of guards carried trays and served the food one after another in an orderly manner. Fu Chaoxia watched carefully. She saw it when she entered the gate. It was written on the gate. I heard that it was the Princess's Mansion. It was so low-key. Guoguo was Princess Xile. She didn't know what kind of family she married into. She heard in the village that there was a prince. She didn't dare to ask too much. Slowly, she found out that it was Guoguo's man.

Chai Zhen: "Let's eat." Everyone started eating. "Why hasn't Fengxing come back yet?" Guo Guo: "He might be busy. Let's not wait for him. Let's eat first." Chai Zhen: "Let's eat."

The palace chef's cooking was quite good. The beef and mutton were both delicious, and the mutton meatball soup had no strong smell. Guoguo drank a large bowl. The family enjoyed the meal happily.

After dinner, Simei led the others to clean the table and the floor. Tea, water, and fruit were served. Guoguo said, "Qin, you can take everyone to eat. No need to wait here. Wash more fruit and eat it all." "Yes, Master."

Chai Zhen had two followers. Everyone had a maid. But the Chai family didn't treat them as slaves.

Guoguo sat on the sofa, drinking tea and eating fruit. She fed her son durian and grapes. He only took a few bites and then stopped eating. Guoguo touched her son's belly, which was full. Old Lady Li picked up Huangbao and said, "Grandma, hold him." Old Lady Li asked Zhang Baohua to go to her room and bring the box. She said, "Chaoxia, Wang Min, you two can look for them yourselves. There are jade earrings, jade bracelets, jade hairpins, and gold-inlaid jade bracelets for each of you. Then find something for your man.

"A jade pendant and a ring. Everyone else has divided it up, so it's yours." Li Ru stepped forward to help them find it. Fu Zhaoxia: "This jade is top-quality, with a fine texture. It's hard to find in the world." She put on the bracelet, "And it's warm jade!" She was shocked. "This set is priceless!" Old Lady Li: "Just to make it look good, for fun." Guoguo: "Yes, Third Aunt, for fun. If it breaks, tell me and we'll make another one. There are too many stones here. If you like, I'll give you a stone to make your own." Fu Zhaoxia: "I don't want it. I'm content with this set. Such good things are hard to come by." Guoguo: "How good is it! I just think it looks okay. If you like it, I'll get you a few more pieces."

Guoguo finished speaking, then turned to the virtual space and said, "Xiao Shunzi, go cut a few more jade stones." "Yes, master." After a few seconds, "Master, it's ready." Guoguo walked her to her room and said, "Second uncle, go to my room and bring the stones." Jiaxing: "Okay." Jiaxing returned a moment later, followed by a group of people, each with a large stone. When they placed it on the ground, they were all the same lustrous green. Fu Zhaoxia's eyes widened. Achen: "Mother." Fu Zhaoxia came back to her senses. "This! This!" Guoguo smiled, "It's for my third aunt. Butler Ye knows where there's jade processing. Ask him what you want to make and then have him take you there." Fu Zhaoxia shook her head, "I don't want it." Old Lady Li, "Jiaxing, have someone pack it up in a box and carry it to your third sister-in-law's room." Fu Zhaoxia, "Mom, I don't want it. It's too precious." Old Lady Li, "Just take it." Chai Zhen, "Give it to each of the four daughters-in-law. It's just a pretty piece of stone, nothing special. Whoever doesn't want it can put it on the rockery in the yard." Guoguo, "I know gold has a price but jade is priceless. If you say it's precious, then it's precious. If you say it's a stone, then it's indeed a stone. Have fun with it."

Guoguo asked Chai Tao to take everyone's measurements and make clothes for the New Year. "Grandpa, is your coat ready?" Chai Zhen: "It's ready, a woolen coat." Guoguo: "Okay, wear it when it's cold outside. Don't leave it lying around and freeze." Chai Zhen: "Grandpa knows." Guoguo said, "In Beijing, if you don't dress well, everyone will talk about it. Our family lives just as well as others. Even if you keep a low profile, you still have to be worthy of yourself. You can't bring anything with you when you die, so you should enjoy it." "Okay, Guoguo, you're right. Our family should be well-dressed and well-fed. We can't just think about working. Just enough is enough," said Old Lady Li. Chai Zhen laughed heartily. "Achen, come to Grandpa." Fu Zhaoxia: "Go, son. Grandpa is calling you." "Achen, your full name should be Chai Li," said Chai Zhen. Achen: "Yes, great-grandfather." "You've grown taller. Have you started learning?" Achen: "Not yet. Daddy said I can play for two more years." Chai Zhen smiled and said, "That won't do. Ask Sister Guoguo. She started learning when she was one year old." Achen looked at Guoguo. Guoguo smiled: "Yes." Guoguo looked at Achen and said, "Where's your jade pendant?" Achen: "I don't have it." Achen lowered her head. Guoguo: "No way!" She went to look in the box. "Some have your name on them! Chai Li." Guoguo personally put it on his belt. Achen picked it up and saw his name on it. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Guoguo." Guoguo took out a silver necklace and put it around Achen's neck. She said, "All children have them." Guoguo sat back down. The family was having a great time. Old Lady Li said, "When things were distributed, everyone wasn't together, and I sometimes forget. I also made cotton-padded clothes for you all. Baohua, go get them all, or you'll need some clothes." Zhang Baohua said, "I'll go right away." She came back a moment later and said, "I've delivered them to your respective rooms. I'll make whatever else you need later."

Guoguo: "Tomorrow, go to the shop and choose what you want. If you need something, just take it yourself."

Chai Zhen took a look and saw that nothing serious was happening, so he said, "Let's all take a rest. You'll feel sleepy at noon." Guoguo took his son and left first.

Chai Ping'an and Old Lady Li returned to their own room, led by someone. He Wangmin left, accompanied by Fu Zhaoxia and her son. The fourth child and Li Ru, the fourth child said, "Let's go back to the room," dragging Li Ru along and leaving. More people means more things to do. Li Ru: "They just arrived and we need to make arrangements. We'll take our time."

Qin: "Third Madam, the clothes are all on the bed. Take a look and I'll send anything over." Fu Zhaoxia thought about what Guoguo had said when they were home. She looked at the large bundle on the bed and untied it. There were so many clothes, but she was missing a hat. "Do you have any hats for children?" Qin said, "Master, Fu Zhaoxia has some. I'll get them." Soon, she brought several: a bright red wool hat, a satin watermelon hat, a beret, and a black mink hat. Fu Zhaoxia asked her son to try them on. "They all look good." Qin: "Keep them all. From now on, I'll take care of you and protect you. My name is Qin, as in piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Call me if you need anything outside." Qin turned and left. Tea, fruit, plates, and cakes were served, setting the table. Fu Zhaoxia bowed and left. Fu Zhaoxia and her son went to bed to rest. She touched the sheets, "It's really good, better than at home. Son, I know your father is rich and we have a lot of money at home. When your mother married your father, she gave me all of his money. The betrothal gift was the largest in the whole city! I didn't expect the Chai family to be so rich." She looked at the box on the ground that contained a large piece of jade. It's so lucky to be able to make so many jade pieces! Achen: "Mom, that's also because of Dad's ability. Sister Guoguo is so good to me." Fu Zhaoxia: "The Chai family is good. It's just that we just arrived here and we are not familiar with each other. We will get along slowly. Mom married into the small village because of the Chai family's character. Your father is handsome, free and easy, handsome, and charming!" Achen looked at his mother, "It's unbearable to look at, go to sleep."
