Chapter 129: No Slack
What Zhao Fangyu was thinking about was Yunnan in the 21st century, where flowers were produced all year round.
The farms in the south of the Yangtze River were flooded and it would take time to grow flowers again, so Zhao Fangyu wanted to send Qiaohui to Nanzhao.
She had read the book and knew that Nanshao recorded in the Records of the Wonders of Daliang was the known place closest to modern Yunnan.
But it's too far away, so it has to be put on hold.
He then ordered Qiaohui to go to Quanzhou. Quanzhou was named after its springs, and the weather was like spring all year round, so growing flowers was also a good idea.
"News came from the palace that your cousin gave birth to a prince."
The lady had a smile on her face when she said this. With a son, she felt she had someone to rely on in the harem.
Zhao Fangyu also smiled, but that night, a letter appeared on her windowsill.
The letter said that if she was unhappy with her marriage, there was a way to help her.
Zhao Fangyu just glanced at the letter and then placed it on the candle flame and lit it.
Chun Shao looked at Zhao Fangyu's actions in confusion, and after Zhao Fangyu was burned, she immediately destroyed the body.
Chunshao was serving Zhao Fangyu, massaging his shoulders and legs. He leaned against a large, soft pillow and closed his eyes to rest.
"The girl burned the letter, but what's wrong with that?"
Zhao Fangyu didn't even open his eyes: "No, a letter sent without a name at this time is like the person who wrote it, and cannot be seen in the light."
The person who sent the letter wanted to mislead her. He must have known her relationship with Pei Yan, so he wanted to use such a specious method to impersonate Pei Yan to contact her.
She hasn't offended many people, and not many people are involved. The biggest commotion recently is the dowry that the lady prepared for her.
In all likelihood, it was the bait thrown by the Third Prince.
The Third Prince wanted her dowry, so naturally he just wanted to get her, whether she was a concubine or a side concubine. As long as he could get her into the mansion, the more dishonorable the means, the more generous the dowry would be.
The emperor has made a promise that even if a new emperor ascends the throne in the future and wants to eliminate future troubles, he may not necessarily kill her, the princess.
She even disliked the Second Prince's boat, so how could she like the Third Prince's boat? If the Third Prince failed in the future, none of his concubines would be able to escape.
At least the Second Prince's house doesn't even have a concubine, it's a rare quiet place.
With the emperor's imperial edict of awarding her the title, her clan members would at least protect her on the surface.
Zhao Fangyu was open-minded and even had the leisure to comfort himself, thinking that it was okay and the second prince didn't seem like he would live long.
You will be a widow sooner or later, so don't be afraid.
The days passed slowly like this, and after a year, Li Ge'er's health finally recovered.
He looked like an ordinary child and spoke slowly, but the words he spoke occasionally were full of wisdom. The eldest lady loved him very much and Zhao Fangjin was jealous. Zhao Fangyu also made a customized medicinal diet recipe for her child.
"How can my sister be missing? They are all children of the family, and every one of them should be healthy."
Now that I have left the palace, I live at home with everything provided for me. I sleep until noon and wake up to have a bowl of delicious and nutritious breakfast. I play with Li Ge'er in the morning, read a book, or embroider small things. If I feel sleepy, I sit on the rocking chair, find a banana leaf, sit underneath it and listen to the wind while sleeping.
Soon, there will be a little baby in my arms who smells like milk and calls me "Auntie".
Before the age of three, babies are the cutest. After three, they can run and make noise, but they are no longer fun.
Zhao Minshan's leg took half a year to heal, and he had been lame for half a year. After he had finally recovered, he made an appointment with an old friend to go out for a drink. Halfway through the journey, he was startled by a horse and almost fell down.
The eldest lady said that he was in conflict with the lucky year, but Zhao Fangyu just smiled and pursed his lips.
The old lady was in the Buddhist temple, and Zhao Fangyu had only seen her when she paid her respects. Now that she had calmed down like this, she actually caught the old lady's eye.
"Be neither arrogant nor impatient, be gentle and peaceful."
These eight words were used by the old lady to describe Zhao Fangyu. The eldest lady also felt that they were appropriate. It was just a pity that Zhao Fangyu entered the palace too early and suffered grievances there. Now she did not show any feminine vitality.
"I called my sister to go to the farm to ride horses. I hope mother won't think I am too wild and have no home."
The lady hadn't ridden a horse for a long time, and when she heard that Zhao Fangyu was willing to ride, she was happy for her.
"Exercise more. Other girls can play polo and cuju. It's my fault that I pushed you too hard. Now one or two of you can't even play."
Zhao Fangjin came in from outside and just happened to hear this. He immediately laughed and said, "I didn't know my mother knew these things. Yu'er..." Then, Zhao Fangjin chuckled twice, "Yu'er just wants to find a place to have a good sleep when she's free. She's just like those cat slaves I raise. She doesn't like to go out."
Regardless of whether Zhao Fangyu really didn't like to go out or just didn't dare to go out, the eldest lady took advantage of the fact that the weather was not too hot and she harnessed the carriage early and asked someone to pack up a cart of things and send them to the farm.
The farm was near the farm where the dowry was originally placed. It was not big and was bought by the eldest lady later. It was also surrounded by more than ten acres of fertile land and was registered under the name of Zhao Fangmo.
The farms and fields on the outskirts of the city are difficult to sell, and now the three sisters each have a farm, which is complete.
"My mother said that in the future this farm should be used to grow flowers, and the flowers grown will be sold to the Fourteen States to be used as incense burners. The annual income will probably be more than growing crops."
Zhao Fangyu was naturally happy as well. She was now developing facial medicine. There were many perfumes, and not everyone could afford to buy them. However, facial medicine and other skin care products would always be the mainstream.
There is no woman who doesn't want to keep her youthful appearance.
Zhao Fangyu would read medical books on weekdays and made some flour medicine for the girls in the yard. Even Mei Xunyin had used two bottles and found it effective.
In fact, the best is still pure dew.
Some were given away as gifts on a small scale in the Fourteen States, and some old customers came to buy them, so many people wanted them.
It’s a pity that there are not enough raw materials now, otherwise we could make a lot of money.
Zhao Fangyu's mind was full of business, and Zhao Fangjin felt dizzy just listening to him.
"Speaking of which, someone is proposing marriage to Fang Yun."
Zhao Fangyu also knew about this, but he thought it was ridiculous. Zhao Fangyun was only thirteen years old, so why did he need to get engaged so early?
With Zhao Minshan's ability, he would have been able to climb up to the imperial court. Wouldn't it be better to arrange a marriage then than now?
Zhao Fangyu held up a fan and approached stealthily: "Guess who is the one proposing marriage?"
This Zhao Fangyu had never heard of him, and he couldn't help but slightly nod his head and guess that it was Zhao Fangjin.
"The one who came to propose marriage is the son of a wealthy family in Concubine Song's family!"
Zhao Fangyu was shocked. He never expected that the person who came to propose marriage to Zhao Fangyun was not even an official!
At first, there was a widower of the sixth rank who came to her to propose marriage, but was kicked out by the eldest lady. Now, Concubine Song has found a rich man to marry her daughter? !
"Did father agree?"
Zhao Fangjin sneered, "Of course they agreed. Aunt Song begged Dad to agree, saying that they were a good family and from her family, so they would not treat Xiaowu badly."
