After Retiring from Marriage, I became the Favorite of a Powerful Minister

Shi Qingluo, an expert in agriculture, opened her eyes after her death and transmigrated into an ancient peasant girl.

In the beginning, she was sold by her family and forcibly taken away to ...

Chapter 349: Advice

After talking about Xiao Yuanshi, Ge Chunru and her sister started to scold Tao Liu angrily.

At the same time, they also talked about Tao Liu's pregnancy.

Ge Chunyi was very upset when she heard this. Tao Liu was already five months pregnant and her sister just found out about it. This was so stupid that she was hopeless.

My sister used to be quite scheming!

So they tried to persuade Ge Chunru not to touch Taoliu.

After all, Xiao Yuanshi is watching him closely now, and it would be troublesome if he were discovered if he moved.

It would be better to wait until the birth to do something, and then save the mother and the baby.

Once the child is in her hands, it will be up to her sister to decide how to take care of the child.

"Sister, just treat it as a toy and raise it until it becomes useless."

She suggested, "You can just spoil the child as much as you can. If the child wants stars, give him stars. If he wants the moon, give him the moon."

"No one will say anything bad about you then, and your brother-in-law will think you are a kind mother."

"If that kid fails in the future, it's because of his own incompetence. It has nothing to do with you, his loving mother."

"If it's a girl, it'll be even easier."

"Raise him up, find a useful family to marry him off to."

My sister is so stupid. Why doesn’t she raise the baby born by Taoliu?

Isn't this obviously an attempt to push my brother-in-law further away?

If it were her, she would not only raise him, but also raise him very well, praise him to death and make him useless, and make people grateful for her kindness.

It would be even better if it was a girl, so she could be used for marriage proposals in the future.

Originally, Ge Chunru wanted to wait until Tao Liu's child was one or two years old before infecting him with the disease.

Now after listening to what my sister said, I suddenly feel that this is indeed better.

Tao Liu is now annoying her and trying to sow discord between her and Xiao Yuanshi. In the future, she will treat Tao Liu's son or daughter "well". Humph! "Okay, I'll listen to you."

The two talked for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, Ge Chunru got up and took the box that had been placed on the table when he entered the room.

"Chun Yi, these are some jewelry. Take them for yourself. If you want to eat something, take them to the kitchen to give them as a gift."

"Don't let yourself down."

This was most of her jewelry, gold and silver ornaments. She brought them here because she was worried that her sister would suffer as the Second Prince's wife.

Now it seems that it was true, my sister was bullied.

Xiao Yuanshi watched her closely and didn't allow her to sell anything, otherwise she would have pawned it to raise money last time.

It would be nice to use it to compensate my sister now.

Seeing a box of jewelry, gold and silver ornaments, it must be worth at least seven or eight thousand taels of silver.

Ge Chunyi hugged Ge Chunru, looking so moved that she was about to cry, "Sister, you are so kind. I will treat you well in the future. Your Highness and I will be your backers."

Ge Chunru patted Ge Chunyi's head, smiled happily and said, "Okay, I'll rely on you."

The two talked for a few more words before Ge Chunru reluctantly left.

She didn't know and just walked out of the yard.

Ge Chunyi asked someone to fetch water for her to take a bath because she had held her hand and hugged her before.

Regardless of whether she was tricked into having an affair or not, Ge Chunyi actually felt somewhat disgusted with her own sister.

After returning to the general's mansion, Ge Chunru began to prepare the things to be moved to the northern border.

She didn't notice that one of the maids who followed her to the Second Prince's Palace had secretly slipped away.

At this time, he was in Xiao Yuanshi's study.

Xiao Yuanshi asked, "Did Madam bring anything when she went to see Concubine Ge?"

The maid said truthfully: "Madam gave most of her jewels, gold and silver ornaments to Concubine Ge."

Although she did not see the send-off in person, she saw the lady packing and personally carrying the things into the Second Prince's residence.

But when he came out, he didn't bring the wooden box with him.

Xiao Yuanshi's face darkened. He never expected that his wife would actually give so many things to subsidize Ge Chunyi.

The maid replied respectfully, "When Madam was talking to Concubine Ge, she drove the servants out, so I didn't hear it."

Xiao Yuanshi got the news he wanted to know and waved his hand, "Keep watching the madam."

"If she takes anything from the public, or sells anything, tell me immediately."

The maid replied respectfully: "Yes!"

Then he walked out.

Xiao Yuanshi took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.

It seems that if we want to go to the Northern Frontier, we still need Liu Rulai as the housekeeper.

Ge Chunru managed it very efficiently, and in just three days he had compiled a list of people and things to be taken.

Then he was unusually humble to Xiao Yuanshi and begged him to leave early.

Xiao Yuanshi was annoyed by being pestered and had no choice but to agree.

The emperor did not take back the general's mansion. Xiao Yuanshi left someone to look after the house and left the capital with his wife, concubine and most of the servants, heading for the northern border.

He also bought a pair of tires from Duke Qi's Mansion at a high price and replaced them on a carriage.

This was the carriage tire that Shi Qingluo asked craftsmen to make after he made the bicycle.

They also developed a shock-absorbing spring that, combined with rubber tires, made the carriage much more stable than an ordinary horse-drawn carriage, and it would not be so bumpy even on long journeys.

Xiao Yuanshi was worried about the baby in Liu Ru's belly, so he offered a high price for the tires.

Because there were too many people making reservations, if Xiao Yuanshi hadn't gone to find the eldest son of Duke Qi with a stern face and cut in line, he wouldn't have been able to buy the pair of tires.

At this moment, Tao Liu was feeling comfortable, lying in the carriage, drinking hot tea and eating snacks.

When Xiao Yuanshi got tired of riding, he would get into her carriage to rest.

At first Ge Chunru didn't know about this, but after she found that her carriage was different from Tao Liu's, she couldn't help but pull people aside to ask.

After asking, I found out that this was a kind of tire that was not available in the capital. After using it, the carriage was not so bumpy.

She sat in her carriage, and after several days of traveling she felt as if her whole body was about to fall apart.

Why can Tao Liu, a concubine, use such a carriage?

So he couldn't help but ask Xiao Yuanshi, but was dismissed with a sentence "Because Liu Ru is pregnant".

Ge Chunru was so angry that he became even more determined to kill Tao Liu and keep her son.

On the other hand, Shi Qing made another large sum of money by selling his son.

Yes, the recipe for carriage tires and shock-absorbing springs was the one she sold to the Qi family and several other families.

After all, these companies all have rubber, and you can't use it all to make rubber-soled leather shoes and bicycles.

Shi Qingluo thought of replacing the wooden wheels of the carriage with rubber tires to reduce shock.

When they accompany their young husband to the northern border to take up his post, they will find it much more comfortable to sit.

As soon as the carriage tires came out, they caused another wave of buying frenzy.

A horse-drawn carriage is a necessary means of transportation for people with some money. It is more comfortable to sit in, and people who are not short of money are happy to make the change.

It’s a pity that although several Xi families opened workshops specializing in the production of carriage tires, they were still in short supply.

I don’t know where the orders will end up each day, and there are many colleagues who want to cut in line.

Moreover, even though rubber is being delivered from its place of origin in waves, it still cannot meet the demand for rubber.

This temporarily put Shi Qingluo's original intention of getting a tricycle at rest.

If that doesn’t work, go to northern Xinjiang.

That day, the emperor called Xiao Hanzheng into the palace.

The emperor has not summoned him since the last talk in the palace, so it is obvious that there is something going on this time.

Xiao Hanzheng also roughly guessed what it was about.
