Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

It's almost Chinese New Year, and Guoguo is busy, as is Yeheng. At home, Zhang Baohua and Jiaxing are both incredibly busy. Qin Binbin is back. Ye Heng met in the study. Qin Binbin took out all the silver notes and said, "These are silver notes for selling coal. The mine has set aside some funds for operation. Eighty percent of the silver notes have been taken back! This is 80 million taels of silver notes." Qin Binbin whispered again, "I heard that some coal was exported. Lord Zuo asked me to ask the prince this time, do you want to sell it?" Ye Heng thought about it, "Don't sell it abroad for the time being, keep it for our country. Let's use it first. Our people can use it first." Qin Binbin: "Okay, I'll tell you when I get back to stop selling it!" Ye Heng nodded, took out a thousand taels of silver notes and gave it to Qin Binbin, saying, "This is a reward for you." Qin Binbin said happily, "My salary is very high, and you are giving it back to me?" "Yes, this is a reward from the prince, extra." Qin Binbin took it, "Okay, I'll take it and buy nice clothes for my wife and parents. Thank you, Your Highness." "Well, do a good job. Go home to see my family first, and we'll talk later if there is anything." Qin Binbin said happily: "Okay, Your Highness, goodbye!" He bowed and took his leave. Guoguo saw it, "Brother Binbin, wait a moment." Guoguo went back to the house and took out two jewelry boxes, saying, "These are for my sister-in-law and Grandma Qin." Qin Binbin accepted them, "I want to thank you, Guoguo, on their behalf." Guoguo said, "Well, let's go home quickly. My family is waiting anxiously." "Okay," he said, and ran off quickly. Guoguo looked at Qin Binbin's back, smiled, and shook his head. Yeheng watched Guoguo and thought to himself, he had known Qin Binbin liked Guoguo all along, and he had gotten her first. Yeheng's heart was filled with joy, but she had never told Guoguo about it.

Ye Heng said to Guo Guo, "This is 80 million taels of silver notes. How much can we keep?" "How much can we keep?" Ye Heng smiled and said, "As much as you want!" "How about 10 million taels?" "Why not?" Ye Heng took out a few silver notes and handed them to Guo Guo. Guo Guo looked at them and said, "It's too much!" Ye Heng said generously, "Take it. It's convenient for you to spend. The family expenses are high." Guo Guo said without hesitation, "Okay." This is 20 million taels of silver notes. Ye Heng gave it to Guo Guo without blinking. Guo Guo put it in her sleeve, which was actually a space. Ye Heng said again, "The rest will be given to the emperor."

Guoguo: "Yeah. Okay."

In the evening, Ye Heng rode to the palace, delivered the silver note, briefly explained the source, and then returned.

The emperor said to Lu Xi, "My royal brother never keeps the money in his hands once he gets it. Here it is. The coal mine makes a lot of money in a year!" Lu Xi: "You didn't worry about it. It was my royal brother who was busy. You deserve a reward." The emperor smiled: "Well, I gave Guoguo 20 million taels of silver notes. It's a lot!" Lu Xi: "Okay, a lot. But Guoguo used it all on the construction of the Great Yan country. This money is not enough to buy a car for that car team." The emperor looked at the queen: "How do you know?" Lu Xi snorted, "Do you think I don't know anything? The Fengxing car team has suffered a lot this year. Most of the money is given to you. Be content. I guess Guoguo may want to do something again, otherwise he wouldn't accept this money." The emperor thought about it and said, "That's right! I will reward Guoguo with 10,000 taels of gold when I come back." Lu Xi said: "That's right. How about we make a bet to see if Guoguo is going to do anything!" The emperor said decisively: "No." Guoguo must be going to do something if he takes so much money! I'll have someone send it to him right away. After saying this, the emperor went out.

At the Chai Mansion, not long after Ye Heng returned, the eunuch arrived. The eunuch said, "Princess Xile has received an imperial decree, granting Guoguo a reward of ten thousand taels of gold. May Guoguo be successful in her career!" Guoguo! Ye Heng said, "Take the decree first!" Guoguo took the decree and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward. Thank you, eunuch, for delivering it." Butler Ye was very discerning and gave the eunuch a large red envelope. The eunuch felt it and saw at least a hundred taels of silver. He happily led his men back to the palace to report.

Guoguo opened the box and exclaimed, "Wow." Minmin and Yangyang also came to the front yard. Seeing so much gold, Yangyang's eyes were full of stars. "Wow, it's blinding!" Yeheng looked at his daughter with amazement, but not greed in his eyes. He said, "Carry it into the house."

A guard carried the boxes to Guoguo's room and then went out to do his own thing. Old Lady Li took the others to work. People dispersed. Guoguo's family returned to the room to look. The four little ones all picked up the boxes and looked at them together. "So shiny!" "Dazzling!" Minmin said, "I've worked for so many years and haven't bought a gram of gold. Mom is so rich!" Guoguo listened to her daughter and said, "If you want to pack it yourself, take as much as you can. It's all yours, take as much as you want." Minmin sighed, "Don't you have a big box?" Ye Heng said: "I'll go get it for you two." After a while, Ye Heng brought two big boxes and helped fill them up. "Is it enough? If not, go get more." Minmin waved her hand, "No, no, don't take so many that I can't carry it." Ye Heng thought of modern suitcases that can be towed. He said, "Wait until you bring your suitcases and pack them up and drag them along." Yang Yang shouted, "Okay." Guo Guo continued, "Each of you take one to play with." Ye Heng: "How about this, I'll make gold flowers out of them and make gold bracelets and necklaces." Guo Guo said, "Okay, just for the two of them." Ye Heng was fine with that. Yue Er refused to do it: "Mom, Yue Yue wants one too." Ye Heng looked at his precious little daughter and said, "Make a gold necklace for the little one." Guo Guo sighed, "You're still young." "Go ahead and make them. You can help keep them when you're done." "Okay, I'll make them." Guo Guo said that if Guo Guo didn't allow him to do that, Ye Heng wouldn't do it.

Ye Heng called the housekeeper, took a small box of gold ingots, and went to make gold jewelry.

That night, in her space, Guoguo found two large suitcases, both filled with gold, ready for her two daughters. Min looked at them and said, "Mom, don't want it, I just said that." "Mom is preparing it as a dowry for you." Minmin was shocked. "Ah! Mom! I don't even have a boyfriend yet, so there's no need. I just want to play with one." She picked up a piece and played with it. Yangyang also picked up a piece and looked at it. "When we were poor, we had no food to eat. Now seeing all this gold, it's a world of difference!" Guoguo didn't stop and filled the two large suitcases. "Take it with you when you leave. Keep it in reserve!" Yangyang sighed, "It's better to be low-key, it's safer!" Minmin also said, low-key!

Guoguo laughed at the two sisters. She said, "Go outside and take a look at your clothes." Minmin and Yangyang were taken out. Min said, "Everything wasn't so good in ancient times, but I felt it was pretty good." Yangyang said, "It's not tiring, and I don't have to worry about anything." Guoguo took them to the clothing processing area. Chai Tao greeted them, "Master." Guoguo: "Are all the clothes ready?" Chai Tao: "They're all ready, just waiting to be tried on." Guoguo picked up a set of clothes first, "Min, try them on." Yangyang also went to try them on. When Yangyang came out, Guoguo and Minmin were laughing their asses off. "You're tall, hahahahaha." Guoguo looked at her and felt awkward: "Let me help you comb your hair." Min: "I'll do it." After the two of them dressed Yangyang up, she looked better. Minmin laughed so hard that it made her laugh to death! Guoguo couldn't bear to say anything bad about her daughter, so she changed her words to say something nice: "She's tall, but she doesn't look like a beautiful girl from a small family. Well, my daughter should be a gentle lady from a noble family!" Yangyang struck a pose and said, "Look! How about it!" Guoguo praised: "Good, good, learn to behave like a classical beauty and a lady from a noble family these days. Go to the school to learn etiquette tomorrow!" Yangyang had no choice but to say, "Okay." Now, if she wanted to look good in ancient times, she had to learn the etiquette here. Min said she would learn too.

After trying on two sets of clothes, both looked good, so the two sisters took them away. Guoguo instructed, "Take the rest to the main hall." "Yes, Master."

All the Chai family members were in the main hall. Chai Tao brought people to deliver the clothes and asked everyone to try them on. Fu Chaoxia looked at the workmanship and said, "It's much better than those made in the city." Chai Tao said, "Madam San, our clothes are made by the embroiderers in the palace." Fu Chaoxia: "Ah! No wonder they are so well made." Old Lady Li handed the clothes to everyone separately. She knew whose clothes they were. "Go back to your own rooms to try them on. If they don't need any modifications, you don't have to take them back." Chai Tao: "It's just that we made a little few. Each person only has two sets of clothes and two pairs of boots." Old Lady Li: "It's okay. It's a good time to celebrate the New Year. One set is enough." "Chai Tao thanks the master for being so tolerant. We made too many custom clothes this year." There was no time to make more. Old Lady Li: "It's okay. I can't blame you. Go and do your work. I'll call you if there's anything." "Okay." Chai Tao bowed and took his leave.

Old Lady Li said to Guoguo, "You must be making a lot of money!" Guoguo smiled and said, "Yes," and whispered in Old Lady Li's ear, "Grandma, tens of millions of taels of silver!" Old Lady Li whispered, "So much!" Guoguo nodded, "Yes. Guoguo's designs are great." She thought to herself, Huangbao has a lot of money nowadays, more than she does. Guoguo spends most of her money on the people. Huangbao is different; he just makes money.

Guoguo doesn’t even know how many bank cards Huangbao has.

A large hall of people put away their clothes and came back and said, "No need to alter them, they are well made and fit you well!"

Ye Heng went to the modern times again and brought back four fur coats, all of which were black men's coats! Guo Guo looked at them and said, "Okay, do you have a brooch?" Ye Heng said, "It's from last year." "Okay, then I won't ask." Ye Heng and Guo Guo discussed the time to send New Year gifts. "I'll prepare it right away." Ye Heng looked at Guo Guo and said, "The housekeeper has prepared it. We can just take some things out and add them. You don't have to worry about it." "Okay. Mine is fruit." Ye Heng said, "I'll add some wine."

It was quickly prepared and brought to the house. Ye Heng asked the butler to take the gifts away and instructed the butler to personally deliver them to each family. Butler Ye: "Yes, Master. I will personally take people to deliver them."

When Duke Lu saw the Chai Mansion's gift, he knew it was a double portion, with an additional portion for the prince. He went to look for some wine first, saw the Maotai, and counted it. "This time there's more! Good, good! My wife, the Chai Mansion, sent a bigger gift. This bottle of wine is probably worth quite a bit!"

Duke Huo's family also looked for wine first. Seeing Moutai, they couldn't hide their smiles, and so did several other families. Then came the fruit, which was so fresh it looked like it had just been picked. And indeed, it had just been picked from the tree.

They all knew that the Chai family had a greenhouse where they grew all kinds of vegetables and fruits, so they could eat fresh fruits even in the winter.

The Chai family's shop was packed, people huddled together, especially in the fruit and vegetable section, where a long line of people waited outside. One day, Minmin and Yangyang went out to check. Guoguo said, "We're too busy to entertain you guys if you're having fun." Yangyang: "Yeah." Minmin: "I didn't expect business to be so good." Guoguo, with a sense of urgency, said, "If you have nothing to do, go to the backyard and stock the shelves." Minmin: "Sure, I'll go." Yangyang said, "Me too." Guoguo led them both in through the back door. They were delivering things to the front, while Guoguo was putting the fruit grown in the space into the warehouse. "Xiao Shunzi, pick some watermelons and strawberries." The strawberries were in exquisite baskets, and they were sold by the basket for a certain price. The watermelons were finally sold for five taels of silver each! All the melons in the space were gone.

The strawberry family wanted a lot, sending people to buy them every day. Guoguo only sold a limited number of strawberries each day, never overselling! They sold strawberries for two months straight. By the end of the twelfth lunar month and the first lunar month, the money piled up in the space, too much to count. Jiaxing couldn't pay attention to this, as he was busy checking the shops, calculating accounts, checking the ledgers, and collecting money.

Minmin whispered, "Mom, go buy some more underwear, especially sanitary napkins. They're all sold out!" Guoguo: "Okay, I'll go back to the house and get some." Guoguo went inside and immediately went to the space mall. She cleared the shelves of sanitary napkins—no, to be more precise, she left one pack of each. She brought the rest out, and Guoguo carried two large bags upstairs. Minmin helped put them on the shelves. Yangyang was also busy helping with the checkout. The second floor was the checkout for daily necessities, unlike the first floor. There were bags available, but they cost money.

Min said: "Mom, it seems that the shop is doing well!" Guoguo: "There are not so many people usually. Isn't it the New Year?"

We worked until dark, exhausted, but everyone was smiling. Guoguo decided to go to Hot Pot City for dinner. We went home and stopped working, just washed up and rested.

"Okay. Zhang Baohua took back all the money and taught it to Guoguo during this period. She doesn't want to count money anymore because it's tiring." In the space, Xiao Shunzi helped count the money.

After the employees left, Zhang Baohua cleaned up the shop and secured the door. Guoguo watched over the money and put it into the space. They took a carriage to the hot pot restaurant, and Zhang Baohua was the last to lock the door. Secret guards watched the shop at night.

Guoguo had someone tell Yeheng to come over for dinner. When Yeheng arrived, Guoguo watched with wide eyes. Five children followed him in a row. "They're all here," Yeheng smiled. "Yeah, they're all here. Let's eat or not, just join in the fun." There were more to come. Guoguo saw the entire Chai family had arrived. Guoguo had several rooms on the third floor opened up, and they were all filled with family members.

The waiter had someone bring the hot pot ingredients and placed them one by one. Guo Guo said, "Start eating by yourselves, don't be restrained and enjoy yourself."

……

Everyone went back after they had eaten their fill.

Ye Heng drove the carriage and asked all the members of the Chai family to sit on it, but they ran around in areas where there was no room.

Min: "It's more lively than our Chinese New Year."

Guoguo: "Since ancient times, it has always been the common people who are lively."

The car had arrived home and everyone went back to their rooms to wash up and go to bed.

The horses were being fed. Yeheng Guoguo, Yangyang Minmin, and the five children all went to Guoguo's room. Guoguo said to the servants, "Go back and rest." "Yes, master."

Guoguo locked the door, and the family went into the space. As soon as Minmin entered, she saw the empty space filled with silver. Guoguo asked, "Xiao Shunzi, have you counted the money?" Xiao Shunzi: "Yes... a total of more than 90 million taels of silver." Ye Heng looked at the scattered silver on the ground and said, "I'll have someone exchange it for gold tomorrow." Guoguo: "Okay." Ye Heng found a sack, and Yang Yang helped to fill it. Guoguo: "This is all the money I earned in the past few days. Excluding the original cost, it's not bad."

The money was packed. Everyone went to bathe, and the children swam and played. Guoguo asked her daughter, "What did you learn today?" Little Yangyang replied in a soft, baby voice, "I learned a poem. 'The sun sets behind the mountains, the Yellow River flows into the sea. To see a thousand miles, climb higher."

Guoguo: "Yueyue, recite it, Mommy listens." Yueyue: "Okay." ... Yue'er recited it too. Let's play. ...
