Chapter 349 Hi

Chapter 349 Hi

Seeing that everyone nodded, Su Jin looked at the concubines.

There are not many concubines left in the Marquis's Mansion. Now the only ones left are Aunt Mei, Miss Du and Sun Yuan.

The problem is that Aunt Mei and Xiao Niang Du both have children, so it is difficult for them to remarry. As for Sun Yuan, she has no children.

Su Jin said: "If you want to leave, I will give you your contract. It is up to you whether you want to be single or find a good partner to marry."

Sun Yuan was stunned for a moment and looked up at Su Jin.

Because the old lady said before she died that no concubine in the mansion was allowed to be sent out, but now, Su Jin actually let her leave?

"I……"

Sun Yuan was so excited that she didn't know what to say, but Su Jin had already handed over the contract: "Let's go, you are also a poor man."

At that moment, Sun Yuan finally shed tears. She had suffered so much injustice in the Marquis' Mansion, and at this moment she could no longer hold back and her defense was broken because of Su Jin's words.

Now she finally understood why Su Jin wanted to divorce. After suffering so much injustice, she naturally had to leave and absolutely could not stay.

So she paid great respect to Su Jin, knelt down and kowtowed three times, then left with the things.

Looking this way, there are two people missing, but it doesn't matter. For Su Jin, the fewer people left, the better.

"Okay, Yuhuan, take the person to the back house."

Fortunately, the house she bought is big, otherwise there would be no room for her.

At night, An Mu spoke to the family in the backyard and told them, "You must treat Su Jin as your own mother. Without her, you wouldn't be able to marry a good man like Mr. Zhuzhi, and you wouldn't necessarily be able to find a good family to marry into. So, you must be grateful and repay kindness. Do you understand?"

An Mu is teaching the children to regard Su Jin as a great benefactor.

The children all took note of them one by one. As for these concubines, An Mu also said, "In the Marquis' Mansion, they are concubines. Outside the Marquis' Mansion, they are slaves. Now Su Jin treats us as human beings, but we must recognize what we are. Get up early tomorrow and see what you can do in the mansion. None of you can be idle, understand?"

With An Mu's advice, everyone took it to heart. After all, they were not living here for free.

So the next day, there were more busy figures in Su Jin's house.

In August, the palace's selection of concubines finally officially began, and the emperor took in a queen, a concubine, and two imperial concubines.

By the end of the year, there was still no sign of pregnancy in Prince Rui's mansion, so the Empress Dowager asked all the imperial doctors in the harem to check on her. They came to the same conclusion: the yin and yang were out of balance, and this Xiongnu princess needed to take some supplements.

During the holidays in the first month of the lunar year, Prince Rui would hold a white long-haired lion cat and personally accompany the Xiongnu princess to take supplements and medicine.

The days seemed to have finally calmed down.

Su Jin's daily routine is to go to her own restaurant for a meal, and then go to Ning Ruolan's club to spend a day. An Mu is in charge of the affairs of the mansion, and the family business is managed by a group of concubines. As for the marriage of her children, it is not her turn to worry about it. An Mu will take care of everything.

This year, the emperor ordered Gu Zilu to be the head of the Yunnan-Guizhou Division. Su Jin felt that he had stayed in the capital long enough, so he went out to play with his son.

The Yunnan-Guizhou region is humid and full of poisonous insects and miasma, but in order for his mother to have fun here, Gu Zilu began to vigorously manage water conservancy and rectify agriculture after taking office.

In addition to the newly brought crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, there were also newly brought peppers, which could offset the damp miasma in the area. Therefore, the local people also supported Gu Zilu very much. This also led to Su Jin being very popular whenever he went out, and no matter where he went, people would give him things.

Su Jin was having a very happy time.

Although life in Yunnan and Guizhou is a little hard, it is still a good place to visit as a tourist attraction.

Go see the Huangguoshu Waterfall today, enjoy the songs and dances of the local ethnic minorities tomorrow, and eat some local specialties. Don’t be too happy.

Three years passed in a flash, and a new transfer came down. The emperor promoted Gu Zilu to the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. That was great, Su Jin could hit the road again and go directly to Guangzhou for fun.

Guangzhou at that time was not as prosperous as it would be later, and it was still a sparsely populated place. But it didn’t matter. Since Gu Zilu had already governed and developed Yunnan and Guizhou very well, the Guangdong and Guangxi regions were nothing.

After taking office, the first thing to do is to inspect the local areas. Since he is inspecting the local areas, he will urge the state governments to rectify water conservancy and agriculture. After all, this can also increase tax revenue, right?

Another thing is the extraction of sea salt. Compared with Yunnan and Guizhou, Guangdong and Guangxi have large coastal areas. Although the climate is humid most of the time, salt fields can still be built.

There were also some miscellaneous tasks, all of which were done by Gu Zilu himself, followed by Su Jin's carriage.

Su Jin doesn't get involved in government affairs, but she can wander around looking for delicious food.

For example, the famous local Guiwei lychee, the delicious Longyan, the bright yellow mango, etc.

In this era, even the empress dowager in the palace could only enjoy ten lychees a year, but Su Jin could eat as much as she wanted while lying down.

Ah, this place is really nice except that it is a bit hot and humid. At least it is a fruit paradise~~~

This year, Gu Zilu finally got married, and the bride was none other than Song Zhener, whom he had hated since the first time they met.

Su Jin didn't know how two people who disliked each other could start to like each other, but, whatever.

The couple took office and brought this old woman with them, but Song Zhener still served Su Jin like she was her own mother, and Su Jin was very happy.

As for the capital, Su Jin's children were also living well.

Gu Suiyu, in particular, has become the benchmark for the happiest women in Beijing.

Yin Zhengnan said he didn't want other women, so he really didn't bring anyone back. Gu Suiyu has four children, two sons and two daughters. Her mother-in-law, the eldest princess, also favors her very much. More importantly, Gu Suiyu is rich!

Half of the soap shops in the capital belong to her. In recent years, Gu Suiyu has opened a bank. Merchants in the capital cannot avoid Gu Suiyu's Su's bank when doing business. It can only be said that some women are born to be envied. They are born well, marry well, and have a lot of property that they can't spend all their lives...

Because of his advanced age, Prime Minister Dou retired and returned to his hometown. Before leaving, he personally recommended Gu Zilu.

Soon, another transfer order came down. Gu Zilu worked outside for eight years and returned to Beijing to take over Dou Qin's position. Su Jin also returned to the capital once again, and this time he never left.

The capital city remains prosperous.

Since Zhao Huaiguang ascended the throne, the Great Zhou has achieved the greatest development, with both industry and agriculture making qualitative leaps.

When the first steam engine was invented, Su Jin was already on his deathbed.

Thinking about her life, Su Jin had no regrets. She passed away very peacefully.

Soon, her children and people she had taken care of came to see her off.

As for Gu Zixuan, Gu Suiyu and Gu Zilu, there were two tablets placed in the ancestral hall of their homes.

The two tablets are identical, even the names written on them are the same.

The spirit tablet of my late mother Su Jin.
