The next day is the first day of the first lunar month.

When the new emperor ascends the throne, hundreds of officials congratulate him and worship his ancestors and heaven and earth.

On the same day, Lin Xirou was canonized as queen and Li Yu as prince.

Zhou Heihu, Baigu, Ningsong and others also received rewards each.

Zhou Heiniu was left in the palace and became a palace guard.

The two brothers were also given a big house and servants.

Fu Sanniang no longer has to worry about being a noble woman, because she is a noble woman now, and she focuses on pleasing her two sons at home.

Take care of their lives.

In the past, the two brothers felt very alienated from her.

Thinking that she has changed a lot recently, she can cook, do laundry, and decorate the house. She no longer thinks about which man she ran away with all day long, and she has arranged their lives very carefully.

Like a woman living her life.

The two brothers reluctantly accepted her.

Fu Sanniang was so moved that she said, "Oh, Da Ya and the children have to be brought to the capital, so that the whole family can be reunited."

Zhou Heihu also thought of Tian Daya and the children, so he asked for leave from the Yamen and personally took people to the village to pick up Tian Daya, mother and children.

After returning to his hometown, all the prominent people in the township came to Tianfeng Village to welcome Zhou Heihu. The Tian family also treated him with special attention, and it goes without saying that they held a grand banquet.

Fu Sanniang also said that she would make arrangements to find Zhou Heiniu's marriage. She also said that she had a bad vision and had to ask Lin Xirou for help.

"She is the queen, and the queen acts as a matchmaker. Who dares to disobey?"

She is a mess as a person, but she is very accurate in judging people.

He knows that his reputation is not very good. He has been in the capital for a short time and has a shallow foundation, so he is not favored by the people in the capital.

But her son has good character.

He couldn't delay his son because of himself, so he asked Lin Xirou for help.

Lin Xirou also cherished Zhou Heiniu and chose a marriage for him very carefully.

He was worried that the high-ranking family would look down on the Zhou brothers. Moreover, the high-ranking family was too meddlesome and ill-intentioned, and the Zhou family was small, so they would never be able to fight against them.

She avoided the official family and found a businessman's daughter to be Zhou Heiniu's wife.

Although he is a businessman, he is also one of the top families in the capital.

This family also wanted to make friends with powerful people. They found out that the Zhou family had some connections with the new emperor and were very satisfied with the marriage.

Fu Sanniang heard that she was looking for a daughter from a wealthy family, with good looks and good tutoring, and she was quite satisfied.

She knew that she had a bad background, so she was careful in everything she did.

When it was time to move out Lin Xirou to bring glory to himself, he was absolutely unambiguous, but as soon as he was in the wrong, he immediately acted cautiously.

He coaxed the woman's family into not daring to look down upon her, but also got the honor she deserved.

All are happy.
.

After settling down the affairs in the harem, Lin Xirou began to arrange Tian Erya's marriage.

Tian Erya and Ning Song have a good relationship, and she is the maid next to her, so her status is not bad. But Ning'an County Prince's Mansion is not an easy-to-talk family.

I didn’t say I agreed, but I didn’t say I objected either.

Lin Xirou invited Ning'an County Princess into the palace to talk. When Ning'an County Princess met Tian Erya, she would also give gifts, but she would just smile politely and say nothing else.

Too polite and professional.

Because the princess of Ning'an County treats other unmarried women from official families in the same way.

Tian Erya was very disappointed for a time.

Li Shen wanted to decree a marriage, but he was afraid that it would backfire if he made Ning Song's grandmother, Princess Huiwen, unhappy.

He urged Lin Xirou to find a way.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xirou saw everything but was not in a hurry.

"Why are you anxious? Only when a man is anxious will he cherish the marriage and not marry into the house reluctantly. Erya will suffer a bitter fruit in the future, just wait and see."

Li Shen thought about it and felt that what she said was reasonable, so he stopped paying attention to Tian Erya and Ning Song's marriage.

Even though Ning Song was so anxious that his hair fell out, he was not anxious and laughed at him for being too anxious to eat hot tofu.

"What's yours is yours. It's useless to worry if it's not yours. Just wait!" Li Shen sneered coldly.

Ning Song was so anxious that he wanted to kidnap Tian Erya and run away, but Lin Xirou scolded him.

"You just want to be happy, but have you ever thought about Erya's reputation? Do you dare to elope?"

Ning Song was too frightened to think about it anymore.
.

On a warm day, Lin Xirou took Tian Erya incognito and took a carriage ride around the capital.

"What are you taking me to see?" Tian Erya discovered that Lin Xirou didn't buy anything, nor did she get out of the car to go play, she only looked at the pedestrians and shops.

Lin Xirou glanced at her, pointed to a very prosperous area in front of her and said, "I want to buy that shop and open an embroidery shop for you."

Tian Erya blinked, "I open an embroidery shop? Will there be business?"

"Your embroidery skills are superb, better than those of the embroiderers in the palace. Why can't you do it? Just go ahead and do it boldly." Lin Xirou said with a smile.

She ordered the escort driving the carriage to stop the carriage and took Tian Erya into the shop.

The shop is a shop, located at a crossroads, where there are many pedestrians coming and going.

There is also a small pavilion on one side of the shop for pedestrians to rest. Therefore, some resting pedestrians are attracted to the shop to view the goods.

Lin Xirou found a man who looked like a clerk and asked about the whereabouts of the shopkeeper.

Then I found the owner from the shopkeeper.

As soon as she made the sale, the price was naturally not low. She even paid twelve thousand taels for the goods from the cloth shop and the monthly rent paid.

Seeing that the owner was generous and had cash, he sold the shop and goods without saying a word.

The next day, Lin Xirou found Bai Yu and asked him to lead people to repair the shop.

In addition, Lin Xirou assigned two more nuns to Tian Erya and selected eight maids with good embroidery skills to serve as her assistants.

Seven days later, Xiuzhuang officially opened.

Tian Erya has been learning embroidery since she was a child. After following Lin Xirou, she visited many skilled embroiderers to learn embroidery.

After entering the capital, Lin Xirou was busy helping Li Shen handle things, while she was not idle for a moment, studying embroidery.

After entering the palace, he did not miss any opportunity to learn from the embroiderers in the palace.

After the embroidery shop opened, Lin Xirou invited people to secretly support her, and Tian Erya's reputation quickly spread.

Suddenly, wealthy families in the capital had to queue up to get an appointment with her.

In addition to doing it herself, Tian Erya also teaches people around her.

When the business was busy, she only served as a supervisor, and except for a few high-ranking families with whom she had good relationships, her subordinates did the rest.

In less than half a year, the embroidery shop's profit has surpassed that of the original cloth shop.

Another half year later, Tian Erya became the richest female shopkeeper in the capital.

Under Lin Xirou's arrangement, Tian Erya bought a large village and a large field outside the city, and also opened an embroidery branch in the capital.

In the summer of this year, envoys from the Northern Liang Kingdom came to imitate him.

The person who received the envoy and his entourage was none other than the Prince of Ning'an County.

Li Shen followed Lin Xirou's suggestion and sent a batch of Zhao Kingdom's exclusive embroidery to Beiliang Kingdom as a return gift.

According to the decree, the king of Ning'an County ordered the embroidery lady in the palace to make it.

The day before the gift-giving time, there was an accident. A roll of cloth fell from the carriage. When it slipped, it was stabbed deeply by the tip of a broken bearing on the carriage wheel.

There was a hole in a roll of cloth, and when you opened it, the whole roll was full of holes.

This roll of cloth is completely scrapped.

Prince Ning'an was anxious and angry.

I have to hand in a return gift tomorrow, but now I'm missing one volume. How do I hand it in?

He wanted to kill the people accompanying him.

But beating someone to death is enough to vent their anger, so what should I do with the few pieces of cloth?

If he tries to find the embroiderer in the palace to do it, firstly, it will be too late, and secondly, if the news reaches Li Shen’s ears, he will definitely be punished.

No wonder he can't even read a few rolls of cloth.

At this moment, someone said to him, why not ask the embroiderer of Lan Zhenfang for help?

"Orchid needle spinning? Where is that place?" Prince Ning'an, who was not familiar with the embroidery work in the boudoir, had never heard of this place.

Chang Sui smiled and said, "The prince is not involved in the internal affairs, so of course he doesn't know about it, but the princess must know that it is the most famous embroidery shop in the capital, specializing in embroidery work for wealthy families. I heard that the craftsmanship is not as good as that of the embroiderers in the palace. Difference."

Because it was a woman's embroidery, it was inconvenient for Prince Ning'an to go see the embroidery shopkeeper, so he asked his princess for help.

The princess of Ning'an County thought that if the embroidery matter was not handled well, she would be blamed by the emperor and lose the face of Zhao State. This was a major matter related to the good relations between the two countries.

Even if she was the shopkeeper of a small embroidery shop, the princess of Ning'an County had to go there in person.

Wearing casual clothes, she arrived at Xiuzhuang with her grandma and maid.

Everyone saw their extraordinary bearing and sent a note from Ning'an County Prince's Palace, so they immediately went to the back hall to send a message to Tian Erya.

Tian Erya was stunned when he heard this, Ning'an County Prince's Palace?

The prince's palace has his own embroiderer, but he has never ordered any embroidery work from her embroidery shop. Why did he come to her today?

She also heard that two women dressed as housekeepers and a maid were coming. Without thinking about anything else, she followed the maid to the front hall to meet the guests.

But what surprised Tian Erya was that it was the Princess of Ning'an County who came.

The princess of Ning'an County did not expect that the owner of Lan Zhenwei was actually Tian Erya.

For a moment, the princess of Ning'an County looked embarrassed.

It doesn’t matter if you leave, it doesn’t matter if you don’t leave.

Fortunately, the nanny beside her broke the deadlock and said, "Miss Tian, ​​we came to you to ask you, can you embroider this kind of pattern?"

She took a piece of cloth cut from the tribute cloth from her sleeve and handed it to Tian Erya. The roll of cloth has holes every half a foot, so it can only be made into handkerchiefs or scraps, not ready-made clothes.

Tian Erya nodded, "I'm doing some embroidery on hand. It's almost finished. You guys can see if it's feasible."

Her roll of cloth was given to her by Lin Xirou, who asked her to embroider such a pattern, and it was in the final stages today.

The grandma was overjoyed, "Oh? Can you bring it to us to take a look at?"

"Okay." Tian Erya nodded to the maid beside him, "Tell Mother Qiu and ask her to bring the roll of cloth she is ironing."

The maid turned around and went to the back hall. Not long after, the maid and another embroiderer came over carrying a roll of cloth.

Princess Ning'an's eyes widened when she saw the cloth with the same material and the same pattern.

"Miss Tian, ​​who commissioned you to embroider this roll of cloth?"

Tian Erya thought of Lin Xirou's instructions. If anyone asked, no matter who it was, he could not tell her, only that it was his own.

"I embroidered it for my eldest sister. Her birthday is coming soon and I plan to make a gift for her." Tian Erya made an excuse.

The princess of Ning'an County looked slightly relaxed and said with a slight smile, "Please give me a price for this roll of cloth. I want it."

Tian Erya smiled and said, "If the princess wants it, just take it, and I will give other gifts to my eldest sister."

If Tian Erya offers a high price, Princess Ning'an won't care and will pay according to the price.

But now that Tian Erya is giving it away for free, the Prince of Ning'an County will owe Tian Erya a huge favor.

The princess of Ning'an County was in a dilemma for a while.

She had no choice but to say, "How can that be done? It costs money to open this embroidery shop, so just ask the price."

But Tian Erya refused to offer a price, "The princess insisted on paying, so I had to take it back."

She raised her hand to signal the maids to take away the cloth.

At this time, the princess of Ning'an County panicked.

It's almost evening now, and the cloth must be handed over to the messenger early tomorrow morning.

Where is the time to find other people for help?

"Wait a minute!" Princess Ning'an County hesitated and could only say with a smile, "You are such an honest kid. Well, I'll accept it."

Tian Erya smiled slightly, "The princess gave me a gift last time, how can I accept the princess's money?"

She nodded to the maids and ordered them to wrap the cloth well.

In this way, Princess Ning'an received the same patterned fabric.

Prince Ning'an was surprised to find the exact same fabric so quickly and asked why.

The princess of Ning'an County told the truth.

"It's really impressive. I didn't expect that the country girl the Queen brought from Shangzhou Mansion has such abilities."

"Stop it! Those from the countryside are the queen's former sisters!"

The princess of Ning'an County said, "The queen is an official woman and a medical woman in the palace. Can the Tian family daughter compare with the queen?"

Prince Ning'an pointed at the cloth and said, "If she hadn't given you this piece of cloth, our whole family would have been in trouble tomorrow. Are you still talking about a country girl? You are not afraid of people laughing at you for crossing the river and burning the bridge!"

Princess Ning was stunned for a moment and became speechless.

In fact, she also admired Tian Erya in her heart.

In addition to having a bad background, he is good-looking and intelligent, and he is not proud of his favored relationship with the queen.

Within a year or two, he actually opened the largest embroidery shop in the capital, and also bought a farm and farmland outside the city.

He is actually more promising than her son Ning Song.

However, she had looked down on Tian Erya at first and asked her to lower her head now, which made her unable to lose face.
-

The next day, Prince Ning'an put the cloth into the return gift from the Northern Liang envoy.

When the other party saw such exquisite cloth, he was very happy and praised Zhao Guo's valuable gift.

The envoys left satisfied.
-

Three months later, Beiliang State sent a letter of credence to express its appreciation and gratitude to Zhao State for returning the gift.

The credential stated that he wanted to exchange embroidery skills with the State of Zhao.

They were willing to teach Zhao the technique of making tapestries and woolen blankets, and they also hoped that Zhao would teach them embroidery and textile techniques.

Li Shen agreed and drew up a list of embroiderers and craftsmen.

Among them, the embroiderer's name is Tian Erya.

When Ning Song found out, he was shocked and asked Li Shen to plead for mercy to let Tian Erya go.

Li Shen frowned, "Lan Zhenfang was personally named by the wife of the Northern Liang Kingdom's leader, and I can't change it."

Lin Xirou pursed her lips and smiled, then offered her advice, "Ning Song, why are you so anxious? The embroiderer you want to send is an unmarried girl. If Erya gets married, doesn't she need to go?"

Ning Song frowned, "How could she get married in such a short period of time..."

"Idiot! Why does she want me to teach her when she gets married? Get out!" Li Shen kicked Ning Song in disgust.

Li Yu on the side also shook his head, "Idiot, idiot! Idiot cousin!"

"At the beginning, Erya gave your mother a piece of fabric, which saved your family from a disaster. She was kind to your family. Now that she is in trouble, do you think your family wants to die without saving her? The Prince of Ning'an County is so ruthless. Ah!" Lin Xirou shook her head.

Ning Song rubbed his legs and opened his eyes wide, "I understand!"

He suddenly felt enlightened and rushed home.

The prince and his wife of Ning'an County also heard that Tian Erya was selected as the embroiderer to go to Beiliang.

Thinking about it, if Tian Erya hadn't come to the rescue, Beiliang Kingdom would not know the name of Lan Zhenfang.

The couple felt a little sorry for Tian Erya.

At this time, Ning Song came.

"If she hadn't come to the rescue in the first place, how would my father and mother have the leisure to sit here and chat now?" Ning Song said unceremoniously.

Prince Ning'an looked embarrassed, "We feel sorry for her too. We can't help her."

"She's married, why can't she go? The embroiderer who goes there requires that she be an unmarried girl with no family. As long as she's married, how can she go?" Ning Song said coldly.

"Married? Who is she marrying?" Princess Ning'an County didn't react for a moment and asked blankly.

"Marry me, I'll marry you! You won't burn down bridges and don't want to help her, right? And you're not afraid of people in the capital laughing at you!" Ning Song sneered, "Besides, she has as much money as our family now, so your son can still make a living if I marry her. Yeah! If you don’t agree, I’ll be a bachelor and marry her to Boyang Hou’s grandson! People will definitely thank me for giving me such a big gift.”

The Marquis of Boyang and the Prince of Ning'an were bitter rivals. They pursued a girl at the same time, but the girl died early and neither of them married.

However, the Prince of Ning'an always believed that Marquis Boyang harassed the girl and made her sick, which was why she lingered on the bed and died early.

Decades later, Prince Ning'an and Marquis Boyang still refused to deal with him.

Hearing that his youngest son Ning Song said that Tian Erya would be given to the grandson of Boyang Hou, Prince Mao of Ning'an County was furious.

"No! You can't give it to anyone as a gift to Miss Tian! It's too cheap for that old thief Boyang Hou! His bastard grandson is as fat as a pig and younger than Miss Tian. How can he be worthy of Miss Tian?"

"Then she is worthy of me, right?" Ning Song flicked his sleeves, "Watch me or Marquis Boyang's grandson, choose one, dad, it's up to you."

The Prince of Ning'an County looked at the Princess, "Princess, tell me, the Marquis of Boyang is our sworn enemy. He always dislikes you and me, and always wants to step down on us. Do you want to give such a rich and capable Embroidery Village shopkeeper to us?" His family? If his family becomes more developed, why would they step on you and me even more? Are you happy that Boyang Hou’s fat wife dresses up wealthier than you?"

Princess Ning'an County's eyes widened and she didn't want to die!

The princess of Ning'an County, who wanted to save face most and wanted to die more honorably than others, said without hesitation, "Boyang Marquis is just a clan leader, why dare he step on our family? Miss Tian can't marry into his family! We can't take advantage of them. Home!"

"Mom, I think not only his family is not worthy of marrying, but other families are also unworthy. Miss Tian's dowry is too much. Whoever she marries will be honored and will step down on you. I think it's better for me to marry you, Feishui. Don't let outsiders live. If you want glory, you can only give glory to your mother, and you must not take advantage of the wife of Beifu!" Ning Song saw his parents' expressions changing slightly and took the opportunity to say.

Thinking that Tian Erya's dowry might benefit her rivals in the capital, Princess Ning'an had no choice but to say, "So be it, our family will reluctantly marry Miss Tian. Who told her to be kind to our family? Song'er said. Yes, we cannot be ungrateful.”

Ning Song knew that his mother said this just to save face, but he had already agreed in his heart.

He chuckled and said, "I understand, my son will arrange it right away."
.

Ning Song asked to marry Tian Erya, and Tian Erya's famous name, Tian Lanyu, was successfully removed from the list of embroiderers going to Beiliang.

Li Shen and Lin Xirou looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Three months later, Ning Song and Tian Erya got married.

In order to show off, the prince of Ning'an County asked Li Shen to grant a marriage and asked Boyang Hou to be the officiant.

Yang Bohou was jealous, but because it was Li Shen who granted the marriage, he had to make careful arrangements and have to accompany Smiley Face throughout the process.

But Ning'an County Prince and his wife were very proud.

I think this marriage is really worth it.
.

Year again.

Lin Xirou is pregnant again.

When she was about to give birth, Lin Xirou reminded those around Li Shen not to let Li Shen stand under the peach tree, poplar tree, osmanthus tree, or persimmon tree.

The palace people were puzzled and asked her why.

Why?

Lin Xirou's face turned dark because Li Shen chose the name too casually.

She didn't want her daughter to be named Li Tao, Li Yang, Li Gui or Li Shi.

Later, when Lin Xirou was giving birth, she did not forget to ask the people around her which trees Li Shen had passed under today.

The palace official reported, "The emperor is looking at a tree species called Horsetail sent by Zhen'an Mansion."

Lin Xirou was extremely frustrated. Damn it, the child she gave birth to would not be named Li Ma or Li Wei, right?

If it's a boy, it can still be used, but if it's a girl...

Li Shen dared to use these two names, and she dared to kill the king and let her son ascend the throne early!

Amidst the anxiety, Lin Shenrou gave birth to a daughter.

Li Shen named her Li Lan.

The name is good or bad, acceptable.

Lin Xirou asked Li Shen why he got this name.

"When I walked to the gate of your palace, I saw the magnolia tree in bloom. I thought, if I get a daughter, I'll call it orchid, and if I get a son, I'll call it a tree."

Lin Xirou looked at the top of the tent speechlessly, thanking God for giving her a daughter. She didn't like the name Li Shu.
