Because she had visited all the interesting hills in the capital and nearby, she even pulled a few tufts of tiger hair.
Song Wan wanted to go out for some fun. She was not satisfied with the construction of Xiaoyao City yet. She wanted to build Xiaoyao City as solid as the bases in later generations.
After receiving the reward, Jiang Zhen left, but he did not go to Donglin. Instead, he asked the emperor to let him return to Guizhou.
Although it is a bit desolate there, the family has gotten used to life there over the past few years. Besides, there is no war in Dai Viet now, and as a military general, he is of no use except for training troops. It would be better for him to go back and grow potatoes and sweet potatoes.
A few days ago, Qi Fu also left the capital, planning to return to Jiangnan to take over the Qi family business and help A Yu make money.
Speaking of which, Song Wan had never been to Jiangnan or his fiefdom Shengzhou. He heard that the place was full of gold, very rich, and had countless delicious food and fun things to do.
Song Wan wanted to go and see if it was really the same as the rumors.
And do some justice by the way.
In a city like the capital, where the emperor is standing, there are trash who dare to bully men and women. There must be just as many such people in other places.
Song Wan seemed to have suddenly found a new goal in life.
When the maid brought in the snacks, she saw her princess startled, scratching her head and slamming the table.
Before, the Marquis's Mansion was ransacked and all the original maids and servants were dismissed. This group of them were all newcomers and had only been serving in the mansion for less than three months.
Her name is Apple, and there are three others serving the princess together with her, named Grape, Orange and Blueberry.
The name was chosen by the princess herself. Although it sounds different from the sisters in other courtyards, the princess has a good temper, protects her shortcomings, is cute and interesting, and is completely different from the young ladies from the noble families they had served before.
The four of them all felt that being able to serve the princess was a great blessing they had earned in their previous lives.
"Princess, the Crown Prince's wife's small kitchen has made some new snacks. Sister Xinhe asked me to bring them over for you to try."
"Sister-in-law has made some new snacks!" Song Wan was instantly drawn to the idea of food. "Huh? Why are they so ugly this time?"
Apple was now used to the princess's blunt words and could handle it with ease. "This time it wasn't made by the Crown Prince's wife. I heard from Sister Xinhe that the Crown Prince made it according to the recipe to appease his wife."
"Tsk tsk~" Song Wan opened the lid of the food box, picked out a piece that was barely presentable and put it in her mouth. The taste was unexpectedly good.
"Why, sister-in-law won't let brother sleep in the room?" Song Wan finished her snack, wiped her mouth, and gloated mercilessly, "Well done!"
Apple dare not make irresponsible remarks about its master.
However, when she entered the yard, she did vaguely hear the Crown Prince's wife asking the Crown Prince to quickly go to Yuanxin Temple outside the city to become a monk.
"By the way, Chunxi came to report from the Second Madam's courtyard just now that the Second Madam is pregnant. The doctor came to check her pulse and said that she is already three months pregnant." Pingguo was so busy talking about the prince that she almost forgot about such a serious happy event.
"What?" Song Wan was surprised. "So fast, second brother is really good, always so fast."
Apple was even more hesitant to respond. "Princess, please don't go and take a look."
"Yes! Of course!" Song Wan jumped down from the chair and brushed off the dead leaves on her body. "Let's go, and call my eldest brother to go congratulate my second brother!"
Pingguo followed with her head down. She seriously suspected that the princess was deliberately trying to anger the prince.
The Second Madam is pregnant again, but the Crown Prince has been home for three months and can't even enter his room...
Apple quickly stopped this thought and told herself not to talk about her masters casually.
After Dai Viet unified the world, the original southwest and northwest borders became normal entry and exit checkpoints. As a small border town of the former Daye, Chongcheng instantly became a hot spot in the eyes of wealthy businessmen after the trade between the two cities was opened. It is said that housing prices in the city soared.
As for the capital of Daye, it should now be called Youcheng. The inside and outside of the imperial palace were temporarily blocked, and soldiers were sent to guard it. As for the treasures and gold and silver of the Daye royal family, they were all taken back to fill the treasury of Dai Viet.
Not only that, all the sweet potatoes secretly planted by the Daye royal family were also found. Combined with the planting methods they left behind, when the new year approached, the court finally issued an edict to plant sweet potatoes.
The imperial court will release three-quarters of the sweet potato seeds for purchase by people across the country, and the price is almost the same as that of ordinary grain seeds.
In order to prevent one family from buying too much, the court decided to strictly implement the one-household-one-purchase policy and limit the quantity to ensure that every household could buy it.
As for the amount of potato seeds, there are only hundreds of thousands of kilograms, and it will take another five years before they can be popularized nationwide.
When this decree reached the ears of the people in various cities of the former Daye Dynasty, they could hardly believe it was true. Dai Viet actually allowed ordinary people to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes.
They thought that when Dai Viet discovered the so-called potatoes, he would take them for himself just like Emperor Daye did more than a hundred years ago, and after they were grown, he would make them into food and sell them to the people.
Later, when they had finally filled a granary with sweet potatoes and potatoes, they were so excited that tears filled their eyes.
They all thought, why didn't Dai Viet unify the world earlier.
Winter came in the blink of an eye. Wei was more than four months pregnant. The doctor said that she was very likely pregnant with twins, so her belly was bigger than that of an ordinary pregnant woman.
She came to the yard with Chunxi's support and happened to run into Song Wan packing her luggage.
"Ah Wan, what are you packing for?" Wei was confused. "New Year's Day is coming in a few days. Where are you going?"
"Second sister-in-law, I plan to go out and have some fun after the New Year!" There were no clothes in Song Wan's bag, but there were two stacks of banknotes. Although she didn't like these light papers, she would not feel heartbroken when spending banknotes when she was out.
When Wei heard this shocking news, she opened her mouth and paused for a long time, "Ah Wan, General Gu is visiting today."
"You said Gu Yan was anxious?" Song Wan paused, then muttered, "It seems like we haven't seen each other for a long time."
She had been busy playing recently and didn't pay much attention to whether Gu Yan was anxious or not.
Wei, who happened to hear this, said: "......"
She suddenly felt a little pity for General Gu. If he had come two days later, he would probably have returned empty-handed.
Wei was just thankful that they were the only two people in the courtyard at the moment. She sighed and said, "General Gu is here to propose marriage to you."
"Propose marriage?" Song Wan hesitated, "With me?"
Wei: "Ah Wan, tell me, do you have any romantic feelings for General Gu, or do you even have a liking for him?"
"I like it." Song Wan blurted out. Her aesthetic taste is normal. Who doesn't like handsome guys?
"Really?" Wei was worried. "If you don't want to, your parents will definitely not let you marry into this family and suffer this injustice."
After spending these years together, Wei gradually came to understand her husband's younger sister. She was carefree, unrestrained, straightforward and simple in character, and she might not have fully understood the matters between men and women.
"I'm not wronged!" Song Wan puffed out her chest, seeming a little proud. "Gu Yan is worried that he can't beat me!"
Wei was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Which couple can compare to this one?
When Song Wan heard her say that Gu Yan came in a hurry to propose marriage, she could no longer sit still. She threw her bag aside and planned to go to the front to take a look.
Wei was pregnant and couldn't catch up even with someone's support.
Looking at the person who disappeared in the distance, Wei said sadly, "With this pace, it seems that General Gu will have a hard time in the future."
Song Wan came to the front hall, and Gu Yanji was being "inspected" by his future father-in-law Song Zhaoyuan. Soon he saw the person hiding behind the screen.
After the unification of the world, there were many things that needed to be discussed. Gu Yan was so busy that he finally got away just as the New Year was approaching.
As soon as he returned home, he brought the betrothal gifts he had prepared long ago to propose marriage to the Marquis's Mansion.
Gu Yan thought anxiously that if she proposed now, the marriage would not be possible until after the New Year.
By then she would have turned 20, and he would be old enough to be married in the world she had lived in.
Song Zhaoyuan had obviously noticed it, and he coughed, blocking Gu Yan's anxious sight with his body, and said sternly, "Who comes to propose marriage with a box filled with gold? Is that vulgar? Do you think my mansion is a den of bandits?"
"Gold!" Song Wan didn't hide anymore and quickly came to several large boxes, and asked excitedly, "Is it all gold?"
Since returning to the capital, she has not done any work to collect gold.
Now seeing these full boxes, I really miss them.
Otherwise, next time a corrupt official’s house is raided, let A Yu leave one for her to satisfy her desire?
At worst, she'll just get a little bit of hard work pay.
"Yes, one hundred thousand taels of gold." Gu Yan curled her lips anxiously.
Since the Gu family regained their title, all the previously confiscated property was returned. After a long time, he finally exchanged his portion for this gold.
"Awan, go back to the backyard first. Your mother and I are here." Song Zhaoyuan saw his daughter's expression, like a person who has been hungry for a long time seeing braised pork, and he always had a bad premonition.
"Dad, Gu Yanji is proposing to me, not you. If anyone wants to go back, it should be you." Song Wan was holding a box full of gold, full of joy. "Gu Yanji, I agree, let's get married quickly!"
Gu Yanji knew that she liked these things, and smiled indulgently, "Okay, how about setting the wedding date after the New Year?"
Song Wan didn't even raise her head. "Anything is fine. The sooner the better."
Song Zhaoyuan: "......"
No one asked for his opinion???
Qi was smiling secretly behind her.
Finally, she stepped forward to comfort him, "Okay, Ah Wan will be twenty after the New Year. How long do you want to keep her? Besides, Yan Ji doesn't think you are a bandit's den. It's obvious that you raised a daughter who is like a bandit."
Song Zhaoyuan: ...
So the wedding date was set in March, after Song Wan’s 20th birthday.
There are less than two months left until the wedding date. Fortunately, the wedding dress has been prepared long ago and only needs to be slightly modified according to the body shape.
The princess was also the only queen of the Dai Viet Dynasty, so her wedding had to be a grand affair.
Outside, there were sounds of gongs and drums. Song Wan was sitting in front of the dressing table, wearing a red wedding dress, with several maids in front and behind helping her adjust her headdress.
But she touched a longan with her left hand and pinched a peanut with her right hand, and her cheeks never became deflated.
The lip balm that had just been applied quickly disappeared.
Chu turned around and saw that the red dates on the plate beside her had become shorter.
Apple, Orange and others were laughing secretly.
Song Wan winked at Chu and said seriously, "If we don't eat them, it would be a waste if we put them here."
Chu: “…”
At this moment, Xin He, who had been watching the time outside, hurried in and urged, "Madam, the bridal sedan is here!"
Chu didn't care about anything else and hurriedly helped her put on lip balm and covered her with a red veil.
During this time, a small hand broke through the layers of obstacles and quickly grabbed a handful of longans and stuffed them into the wedding dress.
The author has something to say:
After working so hard for so long, let Awan sleep with someone first and have some fun!
