Madam Mu sighed and said, "Feng Yaoyao and Xue'er have never gotten along. Once she becomes Xue'er's first wife, how can she live a good life?"

"Yes." Dong said, "Plus, Yu Shi disliked Eighth Sister from the beginning, and she often teamed up with Feng Yaoyao to bully her. She also lost her husband's favor, so her life is very difficult now."

Jiang Muyu found it strange: "Didn't she come back to ask for help?"

Lin said, "Of course there is, but when she tried to kill you, we were unwilling to help, so she went to ask Aunt Feng for help. Aunt Feng is a concubine, and besides asking my father for help, she can only rely on my fifth brother. But my fifth brother has no achievements and no skills now, so how can he help her?"

Mu said, "Don't blame us for being cruel. If she had behaved herself in the Zhong Mansion, she wouldn't have caused so many troubles. To put it bluntly, she has brought this upon herself."

Several people nodded in agreement.

Dong said, "Don't mention these unlucky things during the New Year."

Then Lin appropriately changed the subject.

Jiang Muyu didn't ask any more questions. After all, Jiang Muxue's affairs had nothing to do with her now.

After chatting for a while, it was time for dinner. This time, the whole family ate at the same table, except for Jiang Chenan who was at the border, and the second sister and seventh sister who were married and lived away, the only one who had not returned was Jiang Muxue.

A large room of people sat around a long table, with four antique soups and a wide variety of dishes on the table, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

After dinner, Jiang Muyu didn't let them see her off and left with the children.

At night, Jiang Muyu sat by the window looking at the snowflakes flying in the sky, and suddenly worried whether Liang Qingchen would suffer in the battle at the border.

It was so cold that she needed courage to even go out of the house, and they had to endure the severe cold while fighting the enemy.

She thought that she had some savings now, so she might as well use them to bring some warmth to the soldiers on the border.

So she did what she said. The next day, she began to collect large quantities of cotton wool at high prices in Beijing, and placed orders with various garment shops out of her own pocket to make cotton coats. She still used her own drawings, and the style was similar to that of a military coat, which was both cold-proof and dirt-resistant and durable.

When many common people heard about this, women who knew how to make clothes and embroider came forward to offer to help make clothes for free. Jiang Muyu invited these people directly into the palace and provided them with good food and drink.

Everyone got up early and worked late, and finally made more than 8,000 cotton coats before February.

Naturally, this matter also reached the ears of the emperor. He was very pleased. He provided a large number of carriages and horses and ordered people to transport the cotton clothes to the front line as soon as possible.

…

Liang Qingchen at the border had already received the message from his subordinates in advance.

He sat in the tent and read the letter, smiling with eyes crooked: "My Zhao Zhao is indeed not an ordinary woman."

Young General Cao, who had just walked in after drawing aside the curtain, was startled when he suddenly saw this scene. It's not that he had never seen the prince smile before, but he had never seen him smile so gently, as if his eyes were shining.

He walked in and asked, "Why is the prince so happy?"

Liang Qingchen raised his head and said with a smile: "There is a letter from the capital. A batch of supplies will be delivered soon."

"Don't the capital send supplies to us every now and then? I've never seen you smile like this before."

“This time is different.”

"What's the difference?"

"You'll find out soon enough."

He folded the letter neatly, put it back into the envelope, and then put it in a wooden box.

There were already several envelopes stored inside, each of which was written by Jiang Muyu himself. He had arranged them all neatly in the order in which they were delivered.

Seeing this, General Cao did not ask any more questions. He reported the information to him and left.

As soon as he walked out of the tent, he ran into General Mu. Seeing him coming out with a puzzled look on his face, he asked, "What are you thinking about?"

This young General Mu is General Mu’s legitimate son and Mu Feihuai’s biological brother.

Young General Cao came up to him and lowered his voice: "When I just walked in, I saw the prince looking at a letter and laughing like an idiot."

"Oh?" General Mu raised his eyebrows: "Do you know who wrote the letter?"

"I don't know. The prince only said that supplies would be delivered from the capital soon, but he didn't tell me what they were."

"Did he put the letters into a wooden box after he read them?"

"Yes."

"That must be the letter from the princess."

"I don't think so. The princess's handwriting is uglier."

"Uh..." General Mu paused and said, "Even if it wasn't written by the princess, it must be related to her."

Seeing that he spoke so confidently, General Cao became even more eager to find out what the batch of supplies was.

Two days later, the supplies in the capital were delivered to the border. There were more than 8,000 high-quality cotton clothes. Although not enough were distributed to everyone, it had greatly solved the problem of the soldiers catching cold.

When they learned that these were clothes made for them by the people at the expense of Princess Rui, they all thanked Liang Qingchen.

Liang Qingchen smiled in front of everyone, which was rare: "Everyone, you don't have to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank my princess. She brought warmth to everyone."

Everyone shouted, "Thank you, Princess! Long live the Princess!"

He looked at the soldiers whose morale was boosted, and it was as if he saw through the crowd the woman standing among them, smiling gently and calling him "Achen".

He silently said in his heart: "Zhao Zhao, wait for me."

…

The days pass by in a flash.

After the Spring Festival, Jiang Muyu was busy with the affairs of the shop and the farm all day long.

The snack shop was already on the right track. The clay oven that she had the craftsmen improve was beginning to show results. The cakes produced were more modern, and they were very popular as soon as they were launched on the market. There was an endless stream of people placing orders.

She also successfully bought the house behind the clothing shop at a low price, turned it into a small clothing factory, and hired a large number of embroiderers to carry out production.

The improved clothes she promoted were also loved by many people because they were exquisite, convenient and affordable.

Tan Niang was indeed gifted in dyeing cloth. The cloth she made was of novel styles, and even other clothing shops came to place orders for her.

Jiang Muyu re-planned the date farm rationally, specializing in growing various fruits. He also tried grafting technology. Unexpectedly, it was successful and the output increased significantly.

The other estate and the estate she got from Liu Cuifu were all used to grow various kinds of flowers. Greenhouses were also built to provide raw materials for the spice shop and cosmetics shop.

The beauty creams and lotions, as well as the various toners, emulsions, and essences she developed were extremely popular once they were launched on the market, and were deeply loved by the noble ladies in Beijing.

There are also some rouge and powder that are very popular. Although they are not as famous as Peony Flower now, she thinks it is just a matter of time.

She renovated all the shops she took over from Liu Cuifu, using the "Xia Mu Nan Sheng" sign, with one shop specializing in skin care products and the other specializing in beauty products.

Her business was booming, with revenue increasing rapidly every month.

Once people start to get busy, the time passes quickly.

Another year passed in a blink of an eye. This battle lasted for a long time. Their army pushed Xuan Cang's army back a hundred miles, and they thought they could return victorious. But Dongxu intervened at this time, and the battle between the three sides became fierce, and it was difficult to tell who would win.

Tian Qian was originally the weakest country in the Three Kingdoms, but because they had a leader, King Rui, who was used to using military tactics, they often defeated the larger force with the smaller one, which caused a lot of casualties for Xuan Cang and Dong Xu.

Finally, the three countries discussed taking a step back and guarding their respective borders.

But everyone knew that they were all waiting for an opportunity, waiting for one side to slack off and then launching a massive attack to catch the enemy by surprise.

Therefore, Liang Qingchen simply stayed at the border to prevent the other two countries from taking the opportunity to attack.
