Chapter 169 [He Lin Arrives in Beijing]
The sixth macaque understood Yin Zhen's meaning and became happy. He found a corner and squatted there quietly to eat peaches.
Jiang Lili warned: "Sister Yin, if you have anything to ask of it, just tell it. If it understands, it will do it. If it doesn't, tell me about it."
Master Liao said angrily, "It's okay. It's more lively with this guy here. If any thief dares to climb over the wall and get in, I'll give him a taste of this monkey's slaps!"
Jiang Lili: "Okay!"
After the work was done, she and Xin Che returned to the Tao family. After sharing the final steps of the coconut oil that had been fermented for two days with the villagers, they washed up and went to bed.

The next day, an explosive news spread in the village.
The aunties at the entrance of the village stood under a tree and gossiped enthusiastically:
"I heard that some bad guys broke into our village last night. After learning that Lady Yin and Dabao, an orphan and a widow, were living in the village ancestral hall, they had evil intentions and tried to climb over the wall and sneak into the side room of the village ancestral hall."
"There was a loud bang, and the villain fell from the wall with a bloody hole on his body."
"I heard from Granny Zheng that it was the guardian deity enshrined in the village ancestral hall that appeared to protect Yin Zhen and her son!"
"Haha, evil will be punished. Who let that shameless guy set his sights on a lonely and widowed woman?"
"I heard that guy was from the village next door, and he was taken back in a sack by the yamen runners sent by the county governor. I've always said that the village next door is a village of robbers and swindlers, there's nothing good about them. They even stole our land!"
After what happened last night spread in the village, people from both villages showed more respect to Yin Zhen and her son.
Those who had evil intentions in mind because Yin Zhen was young, beautiful and a good cook also gave up their thoughts.
After hearing about this, the village chief took people to reinforce the doors and windows of Yin Zhen's room and asked a blacksmith to relock it.
Half a month passed like this, and the new villagers in the village gradually adapted to the environment of Yeli Village. The indigenous people of Yeli Village did not break their promise. The skills of the old craftsmen in the village finally had successors, and they passed them on to the new villagers without reservation.
Jiang Lili would occasionally "discover" new varieties of things from the back mountain: sweet potato vines, potatoes, high-yield silkworms, coffee beans...
She brought her new discoveries on the back mountain to Yeli Village, and Liao Dabao and the new villagers were responsible for promoting Jiang Lili's new discoveries.
Master Liao collected a lot of soil samples while strolling in the mountains. After asking Jiang Lili to hand them over to Xiaopang for testing, he already had a clear idea of the soil properties in various places on the mountain. He knew which place was suitable for growing which crops and which land was more productive. Liao Ji, who majored in horticulture and landscaping, had a thorough understanding of it.
The civil servants in the exile team were responsible for sericulture, weaving, dyeing, planting and other businesses that suited them, while the military officers followed the village craftsmen to learn smelting and carpentry... Everyone was slowly becoming a member of Yeli Village.
The mobile home that Zhang Xiaopang customized for Jiang Lili has also arrived. In the past half month, with the help of the Xin family's father and son, who are very good at hands-on work, their new home in the cave has been gradually completed.
Zhang Xiaopang was very thoughtful. The customized mobile house also included a mobile bathroom. Nowadays, many people choose to install this integrated mobile bathroom in order to improve the bathroom conditions in their rural homes.
For this kind of mobile toilet, you still have to dig trenches and install drainage pipes yourself.
Jiang Lili was still not very good at this, so she gave the design drawings to Xin Cheng to study, and also gave him a set of modern children's introductory science picture books on physics and chemistry.
After Jiang Lili and Liao Dabao's explanation, the quick-witted Xin Cheng quickly understood the principles of the drainage system and started the work with full confidence.
Just when Jinli was enjoying a prosperous life, the deputy squad leader from the deep palace sent a message: [Li Li, the news that Baizhen Kingdom's tribute was robbed by pirates has reached Concubine Rou's ears.]
Jiang Lili, who was decorating her new house, received the news from the deputy monitor and her heart moved. Here came the opportunity to make a fortune. She was just short of cash to buy furniture for the new house!
[@Jiang Lili: Is Concubine Rou extremely anxious right now?]
@Zhou Jushan: Yes, Concubine Rou asked her father and brother to search the public for the finest shelled Amomum villosum, but the common ones were ordinary Amomum villosum, which, after being diagnosed by the imperial physician, was found to be ineffective in preserving the fetus.
@Jiang Lili: Then...Is it inappropriate for me to send you a red envelope of premium Amomum villosum from the pirate ship?
Zhou Jushan was also troubled by this problem. He was a eunuch who always served the emperor and only wandered around the capital when he left the palace. He could not explain the source of this batch of top-quality shelled Amomum villosum. At most, he could only be a middleman.
Hou Xiaoxiao, study committee member Xue Wei, class monitor Qi Yun... who is the most suitable person to be the timely rain for Concubine Rou?
Jiang Lili and Zhou Jushan thought of a name at the same time: [He Lin! ]
He Lin has the background of the Lingnan He family, and needs to establish a relationship with Concubine Rou and gain her support more than other members of the Beijing team.
Tomorrow is the day when He Lin will make his first appearance in front of the people of Beijing - the Yuelin Flower Shop Early Winter Flower Appreciation Conference!
After the two discussed with He Lin, a plan was formed to help He Lin gain a foothold in the capital.
A huge weight was lifted off Zhou Jushan's heart.
After a while, Concubine Rou got the shelled Amomum villosum from He Lin, and he no longer had to rack his brains to make Concubine Rou happy every day.
The emperor was concerned about the prince in Concubine Rou's belly and sent him to deliver things from time to time. He had to face the whiny Concubine Rou every day and had to try his best to coax her, making it seem as if the child in Concubine Rou's belly was his.
It’s so good to be an emperor.
Fule Zhai was specially built for the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department to live in.
Zhou Jushan sat upright on the armchair, his eyes lowered and his long eyelashes drooping. He turned the emerald Qilin-patterned ring on his thumb and thought so in his heart.
Looking at the furnishings in his house, all of them are of top quality, with ivory and agate products and golden nanmu furniture, all of which are magnificent.
Being the chief eunuch was already a good salary, not to mention that he had been a psychological counselor for two years and a sea king for many years.
The largest number of people in the harem are women.
Within just three months of traveling through time, he had already received numerous rewards from various palaces. Even the Empress Dowager was quite fond of him and repeatedly praised him in front of the Emperor.
As a result, sometimes the emperor had to discuss things with the empress dowager and he had to look to him for decision and guess what the empress dowager was thinking.
Inside the room, the eunuch who was diligently preparing tea respectfully handed over the brewed Longjing tea: "Master, please have some tea."
Zhou Jushan took the gilded teacup and squinted at the young eunuch with his reserved peach blossom eyes. "Please help me deliver a message to Concubine Rou."
The young eunuch didn't dare to look him in the eye and quickly said, "Yes, Master."
The young eunuch came forward.
After Zhou Jushan whispered a few words into the eunuch's ear, the eunuch retreated and went to Concubine Rou's palace.
