Five years of great efforts in Chaochenhe
Zhenguogong Mansion
The mansion of the Duke of Zhenguo has towering red gates, angry-eyed stone lions, lifelike reliefs of auspicious beasts on the walls, and winding corridors leading to secluded places, displaying glory and dignity everywhere!
Zhiyuanju
The maids and old women began to prepare breakfast in a hurry early in the morning. Jin Linlin in the main room was already sighing on the bed. This was the tenth time!
Back then, she, the daughter of a wealthy family, had worked hard for a full ten years before finally inheriting her family's company. But on her first day in office, she was hit by a car right in front of the company.
She knew it clearly in her heart that this must be the work of her father's illegitimate son!
She fainted from the pain of being hit by a car, and when she opened her eyes again, she found herself transformed into the Second Young Lady of the Zhenguo Mansion. It was already the third day before she finally sorted out her memories.
After integrating the memories of this body, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have traveled into the book she had once listened to! In the modern world, she was busy all day, spinning like a top, but she had a unique hobby, which was listening to books.
She had listened to countless books of this genre, but she had just finished listening to this book yesterday. The author's writing was as smooth and detailed as flowing water, and every character in the book seemed to be given life, full and vivid!
The hero, the third son of the Duke of Zhenguo of the imaginary Dagan Kingdom, marries the legitimate daughter of a second-rank general. The book opens with the heroine, a time traveler from the apocalypse. The hero's second brother has died of poisoning, and his second sister-in-law has also mysteriously passed away. To uncover the truth behind his brother and sister-in-law's murder, the hero navigates numerous perils across the imperial court and the inner court, ultimately uncovering the true culprit and ascending to the rank of Cabinet Minister. During this time, he and the heroine support each other, have many children, and live a life of happiness and contentment!
The unfortunate Jin Linlin is the heroine's second sister-in-law who died in a mysterious way. The book says she died in her sleep, and the body's cheap husband even had an autopsy performed, but they still couldn't find out what happened. It's not known whether she was poisoned or assassinated.
Until the end of the book, this remains an unsolved mystery! The hero has found the murderer of his second brother, but the cause of his sister-in-law's death remains unknown!
Jin Linlin stared at the ceiling, her thoughts already drifting to the small space in her mind! It was a 50-square-meter, white, tiny world, with an electronic screen overhead! It was filled with all kinds of medicines, and there was nothing she couldn't find.
However, this medicine is not free. The electronic screen only accepts gold. Silver bills, copper coins, jewelry, antiques, etc. are not accepted. Moreover, the price is very expensive!
This imaginary dynasty
One tael of gold = twenty taels of silver
One tael of silver = one thousand copper coins
Looking at the medicines on the electronic screen, the most expensive ones are Lingxi Detoxification Pills and Rejuvenation Pills, both of which cost fifty thousand taels of gold?
Even the cheapest itching powder, modern disinfectant, antipyretic medicine, etc. cost one hundred taels of gold!
The original owner's family was a famous wealthy businessman in Jiangnan, and the total amount of her dowry was only 500,000 taels of gold.
Therefore, it’s best not to buy random medicines in this space, otherwise you will become a pauper accidentally!
Jin Linlin strolled around the space and was just about to stretch when a group of maids and servants rushed in.
She was the second young mistress of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. According to the rules, she was to be served by four maids, eight second-class maids, and four maids. However, the original owner's father loved her very much. When she got married, in addition to giving her gold, silver, jewelry, shops and farms, he also gave her the entire family of maids and maids from the Jin family. They were all family-born children!
"Second Young Madam, get up and wash up. Starting today, you need to go and pay your respects to the Madam and the Madam!"
As the maidservant Yinzi dressed her, she murmured softly, "This young lady has been staying in the courtyard for three years. She has come to pay her respects so suddenly. I'm afraid she hasn't had enough sleep."
Nanny Qing, who was setting the table in the restaurant, also reminded her of the rules and personnel information of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion!
The old Duke of Zhenguo Mansion followed the late emperor in conquering the world and pacifying the four directions. After the late emperor ascended the throne, he was granted the title of Duke of Zhenguo, and the title was inherited by his descendants. He was a hero of his time, but he had only one son, the current Duke of Zhenguo, Jiang Wangmo.
He had three wives. His first wife was the niece of the Dowager Lady. They had two sons, the eldest, and the youngest. However, due to her frail health, she died after only three years. The eldest son was 25 years old. His wife was Gu Minghan, the eldest daughter of a century-old family. The eldest daughter was the current emperor's concubine, Concubine Jiang!
His second wife is the eldest princess's second daughter. She gave birth to three sons, but died during childbirth of the youngest! The second and third young masters are twins, aged twenty. The second young master is Jin Linlin's husband, the third young master is the male protagonist, and the husband of the female protagonist Cao Jiao. The fourth young master is three years old and has been raised by the lady since childhood.
The third wife, Mrs. Zhuang, the current wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, was married during the period of mourning for the second wife. They had a son and a daughter, twins, a boy and a girl, who were only one year old!
There are three other concubines. Concubine Yan has a daughter who is only twelve years old. The other concubines have no children! Therefore, the current Zhenguogong has five sons and three daughters! The family is quite large!
Today marks the third anniversary of Grandma Jin Linlin's death, and it is the day of mourning. Three years ago, the second and third young masters followed their late mother's wishes and married Jin Linlin and Cao Jiao on the same day.
On the day of the wedding, the Dongjin Kingdom to the east and the barbarian tribes to the north simultaneously started a war. The Song Emperor acted decisively and issued an imperial decree ordering all military officers, regardless of rank, to go to the battlefield.
The two brothers, who were supposed to observe three years of mourning for their country, resolutely went to the battlefield for the sake of national justice, without even having the chance to see their wives. Now, three years have passed.
During these three years, the Zhenguogong Mansion did not hold any banquets due to the mourning period. Others only mourned for a year, but Jin Linlin and Cao Jiao had to observe the full three years.
During these three years, they had been confined to their own courtyard, neither going out for social events nor attending banquets. The Lady Dowager and the Lady also exempted them from their morning and evening visits, allowing them to rest well in the courtyard.
Today they were in mourning, and as soon as they woke up in the morning, the maids and old women began to feel sorry for her, thinking that she had not gotten enough sleep!
"You are so unruly! It's okay to complain in your own yard, but if you show filial piety, and the masters of the Duke's Mansion want to sell you out or beat you to death because of this, I can't save you! You must not ignore the rules and etiquette taught by Nanny Bai and the others!" Jin Linlin imitated the tone of her original body and scolded them loudly.
"I dare not!" Everyone knelt down with a plop and admitted their mistakes one after another.
"Don't worry, Madam Second Young, I will definitely take good care of you." Nanny Bai stood up and helped her sit down at the dressing table. This Nanny Bai was a retired maid from the palace that her father had specially found for her. She was very experienced in etiquette and manners!
Jin Linlin closed her eyes and let the maid comb her hair into a neat bun. It was originally quite neat, but with the crown, it seemed that she could hardly lift her head. She looked so pitiful.
"Does this have to involve a tiara? It's so tiring!"
"Second Young Madam, after today's greetings are over, Concubine Jiang will be sending out filial gifts and festival gifts. The Dragon Boat Festival is in two days, and I guess the festival gifts will be delivered as well. We must dress appropriately!"
After getting dressed and finishing her breakfast, Jin Linlin walked out of the courtyard, surrounded by her maids and nannies, and happened to run into the heroine. At this point, the heroine should have already traveled through time.
The heroine is the heroine, she is heroic and her eyes are bright and clear, which is really eye-catching!
