Chapter 545
After the royal reunion dinner, the sky was not yet dark, but Emperor Mingguang couldn't help but waited for something from the royal manor.

Unable to calm down and correct the memorial, Emperor Mingguang found a book and pretended to read it, but actually kept paying attention to the sky outside.

As soon as night fell, a group of sergeants appeared, dragged a batch of things from the royal manor, and sent them to the palace.

When Emperor Mingguang saw the box after box of white sea salt, he couldn't restrain his excitement.If what Li Wenchong said before did not give him much room for imagination, then this box of salt grains as white as snow had already given him a foresaw of a shocking picture.

Suddenly, Emperor Mingguang thought that it would not be a bad thing for his imperial brother to marry such a "cornucopia" woman.

Although he is a little older, he is capable.

Perhaps it is because of his rich reading ability and long-term vision when he was young that he has accumulated these "wealths" today.

Gu Qingling can't wait to "hand over" so many things, probably because she wants to please his imperial brother, hug the royal thigh, and prepare for marrying into the royal family in the future.

Emperor Mingguang narrowed his eyes slightly, and deeply felt that Mrs. Yao was a smart person.

"Aqiu-"

Gu Qingling sneezed, wondering if that guy Li Wenchong was talking about her again.

Really, isn't it just to ask him to help out with salt?
As for talking about it all the time?

After the new year, Gu Qingling took Yao Anxin out to relax.

If you are not happy in the capital, you can relax here in Jinling. You can visit the Zuifeng Bieyuan, the People’s Theater, and the New Market, even the half-renovated South Street.

After not coming back for a year, many changes have taken place in Jinling.

The emergence of glass has led many ordinary people to pack up a room in their own homes and specialize in growing off-season vegetables.In addition, the newly bred fruits and vegetables of the Yao family are more resistant to cold, and they teach everyone how to plant them in the "Jinling Agricultural News". How many ordinary people will miss this opportunity to make money?

So, just after the New Year, many colorful green vegetables appeared on the street.

Gu Qingling specially asked her servants to find two low-key clothes for her and Yao Anxin, and tidy them up like ordinary people, just like this, with a basket on her shoulders, shopping for vegetables in the market with everyone.

"Hey... Big sister, you are taking your daughter out shopping." An old lady greeted her warmly when she saw her.

Yao Anxin looked up at Gu Qingling in astonishment, and suddenly realized that someone regarded her and the old lady as "mother and daughter".

Gu Qingling said with a smile: "Yes, I took my daughter out to go shopping, aunt, the Chinese cabbage in your house looks very fresh, did it just be picked from the field?"

"Yes, I went to pick them early this morning. This kind of cabbage that has been beaten by frost is much more delicious than the kind of warm shed. Take a look..." The aunt quickly picked out a bag of good ones and asked Gu Qingling to check them , "This leaf is so fresh, it grows so fat, this bag can fry half a pot."

"It's really good, just take this bag, aunt, help me weigh it."

"Good Le!"

Taking advantage of the time when the aunt was weighing the dishes, Gu Qingling looked at the clothes on the aunt's body, and asked her: "Auntie, look at the clothes on your body, there is not even a patch, it can't be the cloth just pulled last year, right?"

The aunt showed a smile: "Yes, that's right, it's the new cloth that was pulled during the Chinese New Year last year. Our village is close to Yao's experimental farm, and we planted a lot of new varieties with their experimental farm and made a little money, so we made a lot of money before the Chinese New Year. A few bolts of new cloth made a new suit."

"You sell vegetables and wear new clothes, aren't you afraid of getting dirty and ruined?"

"Hahahaha... Don't be afraid, I'm just here to help, mainly for my daughter-in-law to sell. She's going to the bathroom now, so I'll take her for a while." The aunt pointed to the public toilet not far away, and praised the new toilet. The market is cleaner than it was back then.

It's okay to come out wearing clean clothes, as long as you pay attention, you won't get muddy water on your body at all.

Sure enough, the aunt helped Gu Qingling and the two of them weigh the dishes, when she saw a young daughter-in-law whose clothes were a little pale from washing, but very clean, walked over from the public toilet.

"mother!"

"Hey, this customer bought a bag of cabbage..." The aunt handed the broken copper plate to her daughter-in-law, and asked her to look at the stall before going shopping by herself.

Their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seem to have a very good relationship. If it was before, the aunt would definitely not worry about the young daughter-in-law looking after the stall by herself. What if she encounters a local ruffian?
But it's different now. Now that the market is full of patrolling officials and security personnel, she has nothing to worry about.The daughter-in-law looks at the stalls, and she goes shopping, doing her own work, without delay, and can go home together after the work is done.

After walking around, Gu Qingling asked Yao Anxin, "Did you see anything?"

Yao Anxin was startled: "Are they doing well?"

"There are more smiles on the face, and more women come out for shopping. Before, did you see so many women coming out alone on the street?"

Yao Anxin was astonished, and then she suddenly realized—isn't it true, when she was going out in the past, she was not accompanied by adults, and there were a group of servants?

What is it that is so tightly guarded?
It's not because it's not safe outside. I'm afraid that she, a young girl, will lead fewer people, or that she will be bumped into by others without adult care.

But this time is different, this time the old matriarch brought her out alone, and the servants followed from a distance, only their grandmother and grandson walked in front.

And on the streets, there are single women like them everywhere, which has never happened before.

Jinling, is it really that safe? !

"This is all thanks to you, Madam, if it weren't for you, Jinling wouldn't be where it is today." Yao Anxin sighed.

Even the capital city may not be as prosperous as Jinling.

Gu Qingling smiled: "It's not just about safety, you should take a closer look."

Yao Anxin couldn't understand it for a while, and watched it for a long time: "There are more people, people are better dressed, there are more things on the street, and there are many more things that I haven't seen... People seem to be getting richer. Yes, it’s a generous move.”

The point is, this is the common people at the bottom.

"Not only that, women can also show their faces." Gu Qingling stared into her eyes, "Do you know why?"

Yao Anxin could sense what the old matriarch was telling her, but she couldn't comprehend for a moment: "My granddaughter doesn't know, please ask the old matriarch to call."

"Why did they come out and show their faces?"

"Make money."

"Then why didn't they come out before?"

"It wasn't safe before."

Gu Qingling shook her head: "It's not just unsafe, it's also not allowed...the society doesn't allow it, the public doesn't allow it, the natal family doesn't allow it, the in-laws' family doesn't allow it...everyone doesn't allow women to come out to make money. It's poor.

Troubles come out of poor mountains and rivers, why?The poorer the place, the more people slam their doors, the more they have various vices, and the more they stare at the one acre divided into three lands.

But when people get richer, they have more money in their hands, they see a wider range of worlds, and with education, the common people will grow very fast..."
