Exiled to Lingnan, the Crown Prince's wife raises children, cultivates the land, and leads the

"Dad, you're really amazing. Even as a prisoner, you can still be on friendly terms with the villagers."

Jin Yanzhi returned with pickled cabbage and sweet and sour radish. Upon seeing this scene, he looked at his own father with admiration.

"Oh."

Marquis Zhongyong glanced at him with a cold smile: "Try it if your father can't hunt? Try it if your sister-in-law can't make money for the sugar mill?"

"..."

Jin Yanzhi touched his nose, straightened up, and said, "Dad, I will definitely earn more money so that others can no longer look down on us!"

Unlike the pampered young masters in Beijing, Jin Yanzhi is now darker and his skin is rougher than before, but he looks more energetic.

Without those brightly colored clothes, he looked more energetic, his eyes even more sparkling. A flash of satisfaction crossed the Marquis of Zhongyong's eyes, and he immediately said, "Listen to your sister-in-law, sell the pickled cabbage well!"

"Dad, I will definitely do my best."

Jin Yanzhi was like he'd been injected with chicken blood. He'd always been the one being disliked since he was a child, but now he was being encouraged by his own father?

This feeling... is actually not bad.

Jin Yanzhi happily went out and ran into Cheng Qiqi who was returning. He smiled broadly and said, "Hello, sister-in-law."

"I'm going to gather firewood."

Jin Yanzhi happily took his wood-chopping knife and went out.

Cheng Qiqi: "..."

Is this guy crazy?

A few days ago, looking at her was like looking at a tigress; my eyes darted around.

You were laughing like an idiot again today?

Cheng Qiqi ignored him and went inside, saying, "Father, I just ran into the village head. He said Chongshan is coming back?"

"Yes, I just received a message by carrier pigeon. Sugar shop, prepare more sugar."

Marquis Zhongyong handed over the note.

Messages delivered by carrier pigeon are few in number but concise in content.

"Okay, I'll have the sugar mill continue making sugar tomorrow."

Cheng Qiqi finally felt relieved.

"Qiqi, the village chief said that the high tide will recede in three days. When that happens, let's see who wants to go and collect as many fish as possible to eat. They can be dried and kept for a long time."

Upon hearing the words of the Marquis of Zhongyong, Cheng Qiqi immediately said, "Let's go too."

As a southerner living in a coastal area, Cheng Qiqi's favorite thing is beachcombing. Every time she watches a video of beachcombing, she looks so envious!

Unfortunately, after transmigrating, I was stuck in the Marquis's mansion in the far capital, unable to go anywhere.

After being exiled to Lingnan, they could see the sea from afar, but they could no longer enjoy playing in the water, let alone go beachcombing.

"Qiqi, when are we going to hand in the screen and the purse?"

During dinner, Liu Suyi said, "I can finish embroidering the purse tomorrow, and we've almost finished embroidering the screen."

"I'm going to the sugar shop tomorrow, so the day after tomorrow will be the day after."

As Cheng Qiqi spoke, she asked, "Mother, have you finished embroidering both the purse and the screen?"

My mother-in-law embroidered an extra purse compared to others!

It's embroidered on both sides.

"I don't have to do any chores at home. I just embroider as soon as I wake up, so naturally I can embroider faster."

Liu Suyi didn't mention that in order to embroider the screen and purse well, she even drank very little water, for fear of having to go to the outhouse too often.

Cheng Qiqi went to take a look, and the purse with a butterfly on one side and a hibiscus flower on the other was really too beautiful.

At first, Cheng Qiqi thought, what's the use of a double-sided embroidered purse with such beautiful embroidery inside if no one can see it?

But now, looking back, she realized she had been too naive.

The purse is hidden from view when it's hanging at your waist, but once you need it, just open the purse and the hibiscus flower inside will be clearly visible!

"it's beautiful."

Cheng Qiqi was overjoyed. Looking at the butterfly and then at the hibiscus, she couldn't help but praise, "The patterns are really different on both sides! Most importantly, the stitches are incredibly fine!"

After traveling to ancient times, Cheng Qiqi learned some needlework, but she was really ugly.

Seeing her delighted expression, Liu Suyi thought to herself, "I'll embroider one for Qiqi too."

The next day, Cheng Qiqi went to the sugar shop again. When Granny Leng saw her, she was overjoyed and kept asking how much merchandise Chongshan had sold.

How could Cheng Qiqi know?

So Cheng Qiqi spoke vaguely, only saying that for future development, they needed to expand the sugar mill, buy more sugarcane before the sugarcane harvest was complete, and make more good sugar.

The people at the sugar mill were full of energy.

Cheng Qiqi felt that everyone at the sugar shop was like they were on steroids.

That evening, Cheng Qiqi prepared to go to the county to deliver the goods the next day. She said, "Mother, would you like to go to the county for a visit?"

After the exile, not many of the women went to the county.

"go."

Liu Suyi wanted to buy Qiqi some better material so she could embroider a beautiful and durable purse for her.

"Qiqi, can we go take a look too?"

Lin Huilan seized the opportunity to speak, her eyes fixed on Cheng Qiqi. The price of the embroidery shop had always been negotiated by Cheng Qiqi. Could she be embezzling their money?

"Okay."

Cheng Qiqi agreed. If they went by themselves, they could choose the embroidery work they were capable of, which would save her trouble.

The Marquis of Zhongyong, who was standing to the side, said, "You're all going? Aren't you going to work tomorrow?"

"Sir, I've been in Lingnan for over three months and haven't been to the county yet."

Lin Huilan looked at Marquis Zhongyong with pleading eyes, her voice filled with grievance, and said, "I'm not afraid of suffering a little, but Yanzhi and Xue'er's clothes have been patched several times already, and I want to buy some new fabric..."

Lin Huilan seemed to have returned to her gentle and understanding self in the manor.

Marquis Zhongyong frowned and said, "If you want to buy fabric, why don't you just have Suyi and Qiqi carry it?"

"I'm not bringing it."

Liu Suying decisively refused, saying, "I'm afraid some people might want to go to the embroidery shop to see if the price is a scam."

Liu Suyi looked at Lin Huilan with a mocking gaze; she knew exactly what Lin Huilan was thinking!

"Sir, I didn't."

A fleeting hint of guilt crossed Lin Huilan's eyes, and her voice was weak and feeble.

"If you don't have it, you don't need to go."

After saying this, the Marquis of Zhongyong stopped looking at Lin Huilan and started thinking about how to get more land as spring planting was about to begin.

"..."

Lin Huilan watched his departing figure, a lump forming in her throat.

The next day, Cheng Qiqi and Liu Suyi went to the county together.

"Mother, Aunt Lin wanted to go to the county yesterday, and you really hit the nail on the head."

Cheng Qiqi whispered to Liu Suyi.

"Don't worry, if she dares to doubt me, I'll make her do the work herself." Liu Suyi sneered. She hadn't settled the score for what happened before!

"Mom, can I have a candied hawthorn?"

Jin Suian held up one finger, then took out three coins from her small purse and said, "I want to buy candied hawthorns!"

"Grandpa gave me money!"

Jin Sui'an sat on the cart, wearing a straw hat, looking exceptionally cute.

"Buy it if An'an wants to eat it."

Liu Suyi looked at the three coins and said, "Your grandfather is so stingy! He only gives his granddaughter three coins?"

"Grandma, Grandpa offered me a lot of money, but I didn't take it."

Jin Sui'an, in her childish voice, earnestly defended her grandfather: "Grandpa works so hard!"
