Chapter 117 The Fifth Lady in the Story of Zhen Huan's Childbirth 16
As soon as you step out of the palace, you can smell the air of freedom!
The Prince Heng's Mansion was decorated by Nanny Cui and Yuqin, and everything was in line with Jingshu's wishes.
Aunt Cui said, "Finally she's out. Look at the smile on our Fu Jin's face. It's much more genuine now."
Yuqin also agreed: "That's right, although the palace is rich, there are so many rules that it's a headache.
Our Fu Jin can finally relax and unwind this time."
Jingshu walked around the entire Prince's Mansion. This place is much more spacious than the palace!
There is a large garden with a lake and two or three hundred houses. Jingshu has the final say here, which is much more comfortable than the cramped princes in the palace.
It’s a pity that this place is not under Jingshu’s name, otherwise she could take it away after living this life, which would be wonderful.
Now the land of Xiaotangshan has been bought by the royal family and court ministers to build gardens.
Otherwise, Jingshu would have to buy a piece of land and give herself the entire mountain villa. Maybe she could take it away after this time travel.
This time she traveled through time and space and became a royal concubine, but she could not leave the capital without permission.
It would be great if I could move around freely, find a remote place, buy some land, build a big farm, and then live there. When my life is over, I can just pack up and take it away. It’s wonderful just thinking about it.
She had discovered before that she couldn't take away the property that was in her name but she hadn't lived in for a long time.
Jingshu suddenly remembered that corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes were introduced to China in the late Ming Dynasty, but they were not taken seriously at first.
Even now, the officials of the Kangxi Dynasty have not discovered these high-yield things.
It was only after the Kangxi period that it was gradually planted on a large scale.
Jingshu thought that by using the excuse of wanting to grow something, she might be able to live on the farm for a long time, and she could also pretend that she had accidentally discovered that these crops were high-yielding and could solve the problem of food and clothing for the people.
But after thinking about it carefully, it still won't work. The restrictions on women in this era are too heavy. It is impossible to live outside for a long time!
Kangxi would definitely give the crops to others to grow. The Qing Dynasty was not without people, so it was not her turn as a widow to show up in public.
Well, forget it, let's not take any risks. Jingshu is still carrying the Tara clan on her back, so it seems that she can only take away some ordinary things in this life.
There is a big advantage of leaving the palace and setting up your own household, which is that it becomes easier to see your mother's family!
Just the day after Jingshu moved into the new mansion, Mrs. Tara came.
Although we had met several times at palace banquets before, we never talked much each time.
This was the first time Jingshu met her mother without any restraint after she got married.
Just as Madam Tara was about to bow, Jingshu stopped her and said, "Mother, there are no outsiders in the house. Please don't be so formal. Stay here and have lunch before going back."
Madam Hetala said, "You silly child, you are a widow now. How could there not be spies from the Emperor and Concubine Yi in your residence? You must be careful in everything you do."
Jingshu knew that what her mother said made sense.
She couldn't tell her mother that most of the servants in the mansion were hypnotized, and those who were not hypnotized could not enter her yard.
After asking about her parents' situation and showing concern for each other, Mrs. Tara finally did not have lunch at Jingshu's house and planned to go back.
"Jingshu, mother knows you feel sorry for her. Now that Fifth Master is gone, you are still young, and there must be someone watching you from above.
It was okay when you were in the palace before, but now that you have moved out of the palace and built your own residence, if you make the slightest mistake, it will become a handle for others to attack you.
This broken world is unfair to us women.
But we don't have the ability to overthrow these systems, so we can only make our lives as comfortable as possible under the existing circumstances.
Whether your life is good or bad, you have to rely on yourself to find ways to adjust and improve.
Seeing how you look now, I can feel a lot more relieved.
Don't think I'm nagging. These are the experiences I've summed up after living for so many years.
If you can't resist, you have to find ways to have fun without breaking the rules, so that you don't feel so depressed."
Jingshu nodded quickly. Her mother was leaving, and she didn't want her mother to worry about her.
"Don't worry, mother. I understand. Life in the mansion is pretty good now. I have everything I need. I don't have to take care of concubines and children. I am a housekeeper for the Fifth Master and I am living a very happy life.
As long as I live, I will be the legitimate princess of the royal family.
There is no need to worry about no one offering sacrifices in the future. The emperor will definitely not watch his own son lose his incense.
Even if the emperor forgets, Concubine Yi will remind him. My daughter is doing well, mother, please don't worry, my daughter is in a good mood. "
Mrs. Tara's face was filled with satisfaction, "My son is smart!"
Jingshu finally wrote a letter about the three crops: sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn, and handed it to Mrs. Tara.
"Mother, I saw this in a travelogue.
It is said that these crops are very productive and are not picky about the soil. Please take this letter back to Ama.
After you find the seeds, plant a few on the farm to test the waters.
If it's really as prolific as the legend says, offering it as a gift should help our family achieve even greater success."
The memories that Jingshu gave to Jiulong were basically war scenes and major historical events.
It mainly tells the story of how the Qing Dynasty perished in humiliation and how the people of the country bravely saved the country.
For example, high-yield crops were not the focus at the time, so I have no memory of them.
The Qing Dynasty is now going to attack other countries, which is indeed a lot of pressure on the common people.
To fight a war, you need food, and the Qing Dynasty’s food production is really not good now.
The common people are short-sighted and cannot see the century of humiliation. They only know that they can no longer enjoy a good life and war is coming again.
We still have to fill the people’s stomachs first.
These were all caused by Jingshu's lack of consideration before, which led to the trouble. Now the right thing to do is to find a way to deal with the aftermath as soon as possible.
Mrs. Hetala solemnly took the envelope and put it in her arms, "Mother knows the seriousness of the matter. Don't worry, the family will handle the matter well and won't cause any trouble for you."
After seeing Mrs. Tara off, Jingshu sat alone in the room and suddenly felt a little upset.
In this fucked up society, even good people can be driven crazy by them.
The mistresses here are basically all capable.
But men, for their own benefit, do their utmost to suppress women.
Keeping a woman locked up in a yard like this every day, without any entertainment at all, would make even a good person sick.
Jingshu suddenly thought, who said there is no entertainment in this era? People have been locked up in the palace for these years and have become stupid.
"Madam Cui, please go out and invite a troupe of opera singers for me. I want to listen to an opera.
If there are any good storytellers, please find two to come in.
Ma'am, please take charge of the arrangements and then go to the backyard to ask the princesses if they like anything and ask them to listen together.
I just moved into the Prince's Mansion. It's not easy to host a banquet without a male host, but it's always okay to have fun on my own."
