Chapter 306 Experience
Although I was asked to do it very hard, I went to bed early and woke up the next day feeling not only energetic but also with exceptionally hydrated skin.
Shanhu praised, "The Crown Princess's skin has improved a lot since she became pregnant."
Shen Wan's ears flushed, but he didn't say anything.
But a certain gentleman came back from morning exercise and heard this. He put his arm around Chen Wan's waist and asked, "Has my son taken away my credit?"
Squeak.
My waist hurts.
Shen Wan pinched it mercilessly.
Xie Jingyu's forehead trembled in pain, and he held Shen Wan's hand, "You are so cruel."
"That's not as cruel as you."
Shen Wan cursed and cursed, and was afraid that the maids would hear her. Fortunately, the two maids were tactful and retreated.
But the poor maid who was serving breakfast in the small kitchen was standing outside the bead curtain, not knowing whether to go in or not.
Chen Wan pushed Xie Jingyu aside and went to admire the flowers. The little maid brought in the food with a red face. After the breakfast was served, the two sat down to eat together.
After breakfast and a short rest, Shen Wan prepared to go to the Yun family.
Xie Jingyu went out with her. Seeing Xie Jingyu riding a horse, the gatekeepers were a little uncomfortable. Ever since the Crown Prince married the Crown Princess, whenever he accompanied the Crown Princess out, they would ride in a carriage together.
Xie Jingyu went to the palace to look for the emperor. They walked together for two blocks before parting ways. "I'll pick you up at the Yun family when the time comes."
Shen Wan wanted to say no, but Xie Jingyu didn't give her a chance to refuse and rode away.
Chen Wan took a carriage to the Yun family. It had been a long time since she had been to the Yun family. When the Yun family servant saw her, he smiled and said, "Just now, the old lady sent someone to ask if the Crown Prince's Consort has arrived..."
When Shen Wan came to the Yun family, she usually didn’t say hello in advance. She liked to give her grandmother surprises.
But she came today not to pay her respects to her grandparents, but mainly to find her eldest cousin. Her cousin was very busy, and if she didn't say hello in advance, there was a high probability that she wouldn't be able to see him.
But it's good to say hello. Look, before Shen Wanren got out of the carriage, he saw his cousin.
Yun Yan came out and said with a smile, "My cousin is here."
Shen Wan got off the carriage and said, “I’m sorry for delaying my cousin’s business.”
Yun Yan laughed, "There's always more business to do. Of course, my cousin's business is more important."
After entering the Yun family, Yun Yan asked, "What does my cousin want to see you about?"
Shen Wan said, "It's about the flood in Jizhou. I'm worried, so I came to ask my cousin."
Yun Yan guessed it was because of this. After all, Chen Wan was marrying the Prince of Jingbei. If she could find the Prince of Jingbei, her cousin would not come to the Yun family to find him.
Yun Yan smiled and said, "How could I not take my cousin's instructions seriously? These days, the Yun family has opened five rice shops and three medicine shops in Jizhou. The food transferred from various states is enough to feed the people of Jizhou for half a month. I promise that no one in Jizhou will starve to death."
If someone else said this, they would definitely be bragging, but the Yun family is different.
The Yun family was able to help the imperial court overcome difficulties with food and fodder twenty years ago, let alone the Jizhou flood.
When Yun Yan said this, Shen Wan felt relieved, “I’ll ask my husband to ask for credit for my cousin when the time comes.”
Yun Yan originally wanted to send Shen Wan to see Old Madam Yun, but the shop had something for him to deal with, so Shen Wan went by herself.
Seeing Shen Wan, Madam Yun smiled even more, "If you have anything to ask your cousin, just ask your cousin to go to the Jingbei Palace. He is pregnant and has come to the Yun family."
Shen Wan sat next to Old Madam Yun, “Isn’t this because we are at the Yun family, where we can see our grandmother and grandfather?”
"Grandfather is not at home?"
Madam Yun smiled and said, "Your grandfather and Old Master Lin went fishing."
Chen Wan's eyes widened, and his surprised look made Old Madam Yun laugh. "Old Taifu Lin has invited your grandfather to go fishing more than once, but he didn't take it seriously. This time, your eldest brother married Princess Jiangling, and your father didn't care and arranged for your grandfather and uncle to sit with the emperor. The emperor had a few words with your grandfather, and the status of the Yun family has risen."
"Old Taifu Lin invited your grandfather to go fishing in front of the Emperor. He didn't dare refuse, so he went. He regretted it for a long time when he came back. Your grandfather and Old Taifu Lin had a great conversation, and they felt that they had met too late. They had endless things to talk about. And your cousins, too, have been invited by many ladies from prominent families to drink tea and appreciate the flowers these days."
The Yun family has Chen Ji as a son-in-law, so no one dares to bully the Yun family, but to say how much they respect the Yun family, that is really not the case.
After all, Chen Ji was forced to marry the Yun family because of the Yun family's offer of food and Shen Ji's loyalty to the court. Besides, not many men in the world care about their father-in-law's family, and Chen Ji is so busy that he can only help the Yun family to a limited extent. Of course, Chen Ji would not agree to anyone who dared to bully the Yun family without reason.
But it was surprising enough that Shen Ji arranged for the emperor to dine with Old Master Yun and Grand Master Yun, and it was even more jaw-dropping that the emperor took the initiative to chat with Old Master Yun.
Let’s put it this way, before the first and second masters Yun left the Duke Dingguo’s Mansion, those officials who were previously out of their reach came over to say hello.
Are you kidding? The emperor took the initiative to talk to Old Master Yun. What reason do they have to look down on the Yun family?
Among the four classes of people, scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants are the last, but can anyone become as rich as a country? Can that be an ordinary person?
Can ordinary people have a son-in-law like Duke Dingguo and a grandson-in-law like the Prince of Jingbei?
Of the two sisters Yun Miao and Yun Qing, only Yun Miao was at home. A few days ago, she didn't know that Chen Wan was coming to the Yun family. She accepted the invitation of other ladies from wealthy families. It was not easy for her to not go, but she also couldn't not accompany Chen Wan. So Yun Qing went to the appointment, and Yun Miao stayed at the Yun family to accompany Chen Wan.
Shen Wan smiled and said, "When I come in the future, you don't have to stay in the mansion to accompany me. I will talk to my grandmother. If you want to see me, just go to the Jingbei Palace to find me."
Yun Miao and Yun Qing also wanted to go to the Jingbei Palace, but the Jingbei Palace was not the Dingguo Mansion after all. They were afraid that the presence of a maternal family like the Yun family would cause Chen Wan to be looked down upon by those in the Jingbei Palace, so they suppressed the idea of looking for Chen Wan.
Except when there is a good reason like visiting Chen Wan, it is better not to go if possible.
Shanhu said, "If my cousin can go and talk to the Crown Prince's wife more often, the Crown Prince and the Princess will only be happy."
Chen Wan said that Madam Yun and the others would not believe it, but Shanhu said that Yun Miao said, "Then we will go to see you later."
Shen Wan nodded repeatedly.
The Yun family knew that Shen Wan liked Yunzhou’s pastries, so they made several of them, all of which were Shen Wan’s favorites.
Here, Chen Wan feels favored in the Yun family, and there, a certain gentleman goes to the palace to see the emperor and feels the emperor's disdain.
The first thing the emperor asked when he saw him was, "Where is Wan'er? Why didn't you bring her into the palace?"
Xie Jingyu, “…”
I feel tired.
Not to mention that Chen Wan has not yet recognized her ancestral roots, even if she really did, he couldn't take her with him every time he entered the palace, right?
Xie Jingyu said, "Wan'er will go to the Yun family to share the emperor's worries..."
The emperor asked, "Sharing my worries? What is it?"
Xie Jingyu replied, "Wan'er dreamed that Jizhou would have torrential rains and floods, and many people would starve to death. I'm afraid this dream will come true, so I asked the Yun family to send more food to Jizhou so that the victims can buy food."
The emperor asked, "You didn't tell her about the granary in Jizhou?"
"She dreamed that the granary was burning."
emperor,"……"
This dream is quite detailed.
The emperor was about to speak when a young eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, there is something from Jizhou that has been urgently sent here, which has traveled four hundred miles..."
Four hundred miles expedited...
Urgent, but not that urgent.
"Show it up."
The one who came in was the Left Prime Minister, who presented the sealed urgent memorial to the Emperor.
After the emperor saw it, his brows were twisted into knots.
He looked at Xie Jingyu, "What did you just say?"
Xie Jingyu said, "Outside the Huguo Temple, Taoist Master Qingyuan observed the celestial phenomena at night and predicted that Jizhou would suffer a flood, starving countless people to death. I feel that this should not happen, but I am afraid of the worst. I implore the emperor to send people to Jizhou to prepare for it. Also, you should send people to inspect the granaries in various places..."
The emperor's expression was grim. "It's time to send people to inspect the granaries in various places."
Xie Jingyu frowned, "Something happened to the Jizhou granary?"
The emperor threw the memorial in his hand onto the dragon table and said, "The granary in Jizhou has been flooded."
