One day, Su Luo transmigrated and became the mother of two children. Not only was she mentally deficient, but she was also a widow. The family was destitute, living in an abandoned tile kiln by the...
Yi Huan has a good memory; how could she forget what her brother just said?
Grandma wanted to hear it, so she read it to her again word for word. After she finished reading, she handed the letter to Su Luo.
If this letter is in Grandma's hands, she might show it to someone else, which would be bad.
"Mother-in-law, even if you don't believe me, you should at least believe Yanchuan and Yihuan, right?"
Zhao Ruyun instantly burst into tears. Ever since she learned that Huai Xu had gone to war again, she had been worried about him every day. She had been suppressing her emotions for too long.
"Luo Luo, Huai Xu said that it snowed heavily in Beichuan City. Are they very cold? Is he dressed warmly enough?"
"The imperial court has charcoal and cotton clothing, they will be fine."
Suddenly, Zhao Ruyun threw off the covers and prepared to get out of bed.
"Mother-in-law, if you need anything, just let Chunhua get it. You should rest in bed now."
Chunhua also walked to the bedside and bowed to Zhao Ruyun, saying, "Madam, I'm here. Please tell me if you need anything."
Zhao Ruyun was very anxious. Pointing to the cabinet in the room, she said, "Chunhua, Xiaodong, go and bring over the fabric from my cabinet, and that big bag of cotton, quick..."
"Yes, Madam..."
The two quickly rummaged through the cabinet and found fabric and cotton, placing them all by the bed where Zhao Ruyun could reach them.
Zhao Ruyun touched the pile of fabric and the bag of cotton, and said to Su Luo.
"Luo Luo, you said I'm sewing cotton-padded clothes for Huai Xu here, can you find a way to send them to Beichuan City?"
Hearing Zhao Ruyun's words, it seemed that she had resolved her inner conflict. Su Luo smiled gently and said, "Of course."
Zhao Ruyun was relieved, and her energy seemed to surge. She couldn't wait to start making clothes.
"Okay, okay... I don't want to lie down anymore, Luo Luo, help me up."
Moving around helps her recover her mindset faster. Giving her something to do is better than her being anxious and overthinking all day. Otherwise, if this continues, it will damage her central nervous system and drive her crazy.
"Your Highness, the old lady is still in poor health."
Aunt Dong was afraid that Zhao Ruyun wouldn't be able to hold on and that it would worsen her condition.
"It's alright, let Grandma get up. Go to the pharmacy later and get three ginseng roots to stew with lamb kidneys. Bring them to Grandma when they're done."
She was a doctor herself, and she knew Zhao Ruyun's physical condition better than anyone else at a glance.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Seeing that Zhao Ruyun had something to do, her mood was no longer heavy, so she could eat even when she was tired, and her health would improve.
Su Luo and her two children talked with Zhao Ruyun for a while before they came out.
As soon as she stepped out the door, she saw Butler Shi. With Butler Shi here, there must be many things she needed to tell him.
"Your Highness, is the old lady feeling better?" Butler Shi asked.
"Hmm! Much better."
Butler Shi said with relief, "That's good. I've taken care of everything regarding the estate and business. Please take a look, Your Highness."
"Alright! Let's go to the study in the front yard."
"yes!"
Yan Chuan and Yi Huan were still following behind Su Luo. As soon as they left the west courtyard, the two children dared not move.
Su Luo looked up in the direction that had stunned them, where a thin old man stood, dressed in a gray-black robe.
His small eyes were slightly narrowed, his gray beard trembled, and his overall face was dark.
Sun Feizhang sternly addressed Yan Chuan and Yi Huan: "After you finish visiting your relatives, hurry up and study. The county exam is in a few days. If you fail, don't blame me for being strict."
"Yes, student will go right away."
Today, Su Luo returned, and Yan Chuan did not go to the academy. However, he had been away for so long that even if he came to see Su Luo, he should go back now.
Sun Feizhang placed all his hopes on Yanchuan, and he was even more worried about the county examination for children than Yanchuan was.
Yan Chuan pulled Yi Huan back to study, and Sun Feizhang walked up to Su Luo and bowed.
"Sun Feizhang greets the Princess."
Su Luo raised her hand to let Sun Feizhang stand up: "Master Sun, you may rise. Yan Chuan and Yi Huan are unruly, so we will trouble you to discipline them."
On the surface, Sun Feizhang always had a dark face, but in his heart he was very satisfied with Yanchuan and Yihuan. Although Yihuan was a woman, it was even more precious than finding a treasure to have such an intelligent disciple.
"Your Highness is too kind. This is what I should do. Your Highness has other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."
"good!"
Su Luo and Butler Shi looked at the business matters and decided to put the non-urgent matters aside. She had just arrived home and there was no need to rush things.
Butler Shi had prepared most of the work, and she only needed to glance at it before going to rest.
She went to see the village chief the next day.
A few months later, the village chief's family had also built a new house, which was still half-finished and twice the size of the previous house.
When Su Luo returned, she heard that the village chief had arranged another marriage for Li Chang'an with his deceased wife's younger sister. They would get married as soon as their house was built.
"Princess Yu, why didn't you tell me you were coming? This house is such a mess, it's unbearable to look at."
Chen Yan and Su Luo were quite familiar with each other, but now that Su Luo was the Princess Consort of Yu and Nangong Chiyu had gone to war, they no longer addressed her by her name, but as Princess Consort or Princess Consort of Yu.
It would seem very abrupt to call them that in a village, but since they were willing, Su Luo couldn't do anything about it.
“Aunt Chen, my house used to be even more messy when it was built. What’s there to be ashamed of? This is a good thing.”
Chen Yan was overjoyed. Now they had a house, their son had returned, their grandson had grown up, and they had money. This was all that people could strive for in their lives.
"Hehehe, Your Highness, you're here to see my husband, Mr. Li, right? Please have a seat, I'll go and call him for you."
Chen Yan knew that whenever Su Luo came over, it was definitely to see Lao Li, not just to chat with them. Su Luo was a very busy person.
"good!"
Chen Yan invited Su Luo to sit in their half-built courtyard, poured her some tea, and brought out two different plates of pastries.
This shows that the quality of life for everyone in Changping Village has improved.
Soon the village chief arrived, covered in mud. Hearing that Su Luo had come to see him, he was afraid that Su Luo had something important to say, so he rushed over.
When he came, he also invited Li Chang'an along, since he was getting old and Chang'an could help if anything happened.
"Princess Su... has something happened? Could it be the soy sauce factory...?"
The village chief was used to calling Su Luo by her name, but the Su Luo of today was not the Su Luo of yesterday, so he could not call her that way anymore.
"No, village chief, Brother Li, please sit down. I came to talk to you about something else."
Upon hearing that it wasn't the soy sauce factory that was in trouble, the two men breathed a sigh of relief. The soy sauce factory was now the lifeblood of the entire Changping Village.
"Does the princess have something else to discuss?"
Su Luo didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Village chief, you've seen the current climate; it's very dry, which is seriously affecting our second rice crop."
But you don't need to worry about that. In a few days, there will be a heavy rain in Changping Village, and this year's second crop of rice will be fine, but as for next year..."
