Chapter 250 The Princess’s Favor!
When Gu Jinghuai returned to the mansion after finishing his shift, he heard from the servants that the young lady had returned to the Qin Mansion, so Gu Jinghuai went straight to the Qin family.
Qin Zhizhi and Gu Jinghuai had dinner with the eldest and second uncles at the Qin family's house.
The eldest and second uncles are very satisfied with their grandson-in-law. They were good to their granddaughter before, and now they still treat her the same way even after she passed the imperial examination.
Whether in Qinjia Village or after they returned to their ancestral home, they were treated the same as before.
While eating and chatting, the eldest uncle and the second uncle said that the road was a bit bumpy, and Qin Zhizhi kept it in mind.
When she returned to Qinjia Village before, she also felt that the road was a bit bumpy.
At that time, she couldn't help but think that if the road could be made smoother, it would not only shorten the distance but also reduce the suffering along the way.
If this thing can be done, it will be a good thing that benefits everyone. Qin Zhizhi kept this matter in mind.
After returning from Qin's house, Qin Zhizhi and Gu Jinghuai discussed this matter before going to bed at night.
"Husband, I have something I want to ask you."
"Oh, what kind of big thing can make my smart wife use the word 'ask for advice'?" Gu Jinghuai teased Qin Zhizhi.
"Husband, if I could find a way to make the road smoother, smoother than the current official road, and shorten the journey, do you think we should report it to the Emperor first?"
Qin Zhizhi didn’t understand much about what was happening in the court, she only knew that this was a good thing.
Gu Jinghuai was surprised when he heard this and asked, "Madam, are you sure?"
Qin Zhizhi nodded. Gu Jinghuai thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we try it with our uncle and the princess first? If it works, it won't be too late to report it to the emperor."
"I thought so too. The road from the farm to the official road is a bit bumpy. Dad mentioned this several times when we were transporting watermelons last year. Why don't we try that road first?"
Last year, Qin He did complain a few times when transporting watermelons every day, and they had originally planned to repair the road this year.
Since we have to experiment with road construction now, we might as well build that section first.
"My lady, this is a good idea. You can mention it to the princess tomorrow. I think there will be no problem."
"I think so too. Let's give it a try. By the way, my husband, there's one more thing. I want to get the people from the first and second masters' families to participate in the road construction. Do you think it's feasible?"
Qin Zhizhi and her family have now established themselves in Beijing, so she naturally won't forget the families of the eldest and second masters.
The eldest uncle, the second uncle and the great uncle have a good relationship with each other, and the relationship between several families is also good. They are included in Qin Zhizhi's plan.
Because there were too many uncertainties before, Qin Zhizhi has now started to make plans.
"Of course you can, my lady, do whatever you want. Your husband and the entire Gu and Qin families will protect you."
Gu Jinghuai will always stand on Qin Zhizhi's side.
"Then I will discuss this matter with the princess tomorrow. Once it is confirmed, I will discuss it with the eldest and second masters."
"Okay, my lady, you can do whatever you want. But you are still pregnant, so you need to be careful about everything. Besides, we are all here. Just tell us what you need to do, and your husband will do it."
"I understand, my dear. Let's get some rest early. You still have to go to court tomorrow."
Qin Zhizhi was in a good mood. She liked her husband's unconditional support for her.
Gu Jinghuai hugged Qin Zhizhi, and his heart was calmer than ever before.
The next day, Qin Zhizhi slept until she woke up naturally.
When she woke up, Gu Jinghuai had already gone to court. Qin Zhizhi had some breakfast and went to the Princess's Mansion accompanied by her maid.
After she became pregnant, her family members were worried about her going in and out alone, so she brought a maid with her. She didn't like having a maid with her before.
She knows that her family cares about her, and to reassure her family, she now brings a maid with her whenever she goes out.
This maidservant knows some martial arts and was specially chosen for her by the eldest princess.
When the servant reported that Qin Zhizhi had arrived, the princess was surprised.
"Mother, I'm going to pick up my sister-in-law."
When Gu Yunfei heard that her sister-in-law was coming, she was very happy. She said goodbye to the eldest princess and went to the door happily to greet Qin Zhizhi.
"Go ahead, kid!"
The eldest princess's face was full of doting. Every time her daughter saw her niece-in-law, it was as if she was meeting a god. Her son's treatment was even more exaggerated. Even their uncle, the emperor, didn't receive such treatment.
When Gu Yunfei helped Qin Zhizhi in, the eldest princess greeted Qin Zhizhi with a smile.
"Zhizhi is here, come and sit down!"
"Aunt, Zhizhi is disturbing you!"
When Qin Zhizhi saw Gu Yunfei at the eldest princess's place, she knew that the mother and daughter were chatting and that she had disturbed their time together.
"We are so happy that you can come, but you are too busy every day."
"That's right, it's not a disturbance at all. Mother and I were just chatting, and sister-in-law came just in time."
Gu Yunfei helped Qin Zhizhi sit down, her heart filled with joy. She had been bored to death staying in the mansion all day preparing for her wedding.
The servants quickly brought tea and snacks suitable for pregnant women, which the princess had just ordered to be prepared.
"Zhizhi, try this snack. I love it. I just asked the kitchen to make it today. I told them to send it to you soon."
The eldest princess's face was full of kindness. These snacks were originally made for Qin Zhizhi, but before she could deliver them to her, Qin Zhizhi came over.
"Thank you, Auntie. These snacks look delicious."
"Try it first. If it suits your taste, I'll have someone make some for you every day."
Qin Zhizhi picked up a piece of cake and tasted it. It was sweet but not greasy, and very refreshing. She liked it very much.
Seeing that she liked it, the eldest princess was very happy. She asked the nanny to go to the kitchen to inform her and make a portion for Qin Zhizhi every day.
They drank tea, ate snacks and chatted about family matters, from Gu Yunfei's marriage to the baby in Qin Zhizhi's belly.
Finally, Qin Zhizhi told the eldest princess about her idea of building a road to Zhuangzi.
"Zhizhi, this is a good thing. If you want to do it, just do it. Just build it in the name of the Princess Mansion. I'll also tell your uncle later so that if anyone talks about this, your uncle will know what's going on."
The eldest princess was very supportive. If the road was repaired, it would be a great thing for the royal family and benefit the country and the people.
"Thank you, Auntie!"
"Why thank me? This is a good thing. Auntie thanks you. You are a good child. If you need manpower or material resources, just ask."
"Aunt, I have a little selfish desire. I want my uncle and second uncle's families to participate."
Qin Zhizhi expressed her thoughts directly. She and the eldest princess never had any defenses against each other.
"Let Zhizhi make the decision!" said the eldest princess with a smile.
"Mom, my sister-in-law is pregnant. I'm going to help her." Gu Yunfei acted coquettishly to the eldest princess.
"Go if you want to. Your uncle, the Emperor, had the foresight to have the Ministry of Rites arrange your marriage. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to embroider your wedding dress on the wedding day."
The eldest princess couldn't help teasing her daughter, saying that it was a good thing she was marrying into the Qin family, otherwise she would have been really worried.
"Mom, you are teasing your daughter again!" Gu Yunfei felt a little shy when she heard about embroidering a wedding dress.
