In addition to the real estate in the cities of the four countries, there are also 100,000 taels of silver, 100,000 taels of gold, countless silks and satins, and rare treasures. Box after box, it would take several lifetimes to spend them all!
In addition, the King of Jin prepared a lot of wedding candies, cakes, fruits and money. He gave every household in Taohua Village a basket of wedding candies, cakes, fruits and 100 taels of money. He said that every household in Taohua Village was Shen Ruoxi's mother's family, and they were grateful for their care for Xingnong and her daughter over the years.
Make the villagers of Taohua Village happy!
Soon, the news of this shocking marriage ceremony spread throughout the area.
The nearby villagers were shocked and extremely envious!
Many people regretted their decision. If they had known that Xingnong’s father, whose father was unknown, was so rich, they would have said anything to curry favor with him and taken good care of him. Now, they would be the ones holding the hundred taels of silver!
One hundred taels!
It was an astronomical figure! They had never seen so much silver before. The villagers of Taohua Village took the people back to the village, and then they got it!
It makes people from all over the place envious and jealous.
The third day after the betrothal is the wedding day.
The whole Taohua Village was bustling all day. The King of Jin could drink a lot. He was so happy that he accepted all the drinks. Zhao Yong came to him with a cup in his hand and said to the King of Jin expressionlessly, "If you don't cherish her, I will snatch her away!"
The villagers were silent for a moment, and then Village Chief Gu said loudly: "That's right, if you don't cherish Ruoxi, we in Taohua Village will not agree! Don't think that just because you gave a hundred taels of betrothal gifts, it will be fine!"
The King of Jin smiled and raised his glass to Zhao Yong: "Don't worry, you don't stand a chance!"
Then he raised his glass and said to everyone, "I promise it will be as precious as a pearl! Please supervise and witness it from now on!"
How could he not cherish the mother of his precious princess? If he didn't cherish her, wouldn't he have no daughter
The villagers shouted, "Okay, we remember. Drink! Drink!"
... ..
So a new wave of toasts began.
The night is getting deeper and deeper,
This time the King of Jin really felt his steps were weak, so he took the opportunity to pretend to be drunk and was sent back to his bridal chamber.
The King of Jin had previously asked Shen Hanyu to find someone to buy land and build a house near Taohua Village. The land was from the neighboring Lotus Village, but it was very close to Xingnong's home. In order to speed up, only two courtyards were built. The mansion with these two courtyards has been completed and is just right for a wedding house.
In the new house, Xingnong, Xingqing, Gu Ping, the village chief's wife and several other women from the village accompanied Shen Ruoxi.
Everyone was talking about the workshops that would be sitting in the spring and summer, so it wasn’t boring.
It was not until the King of Jin returned to the house that Gu Ping and the village chief's wife quickly stood up and called Xingnong and the children to leave.
The room suddenly became quiet, with only the two of them left.
Shen Ruoxi felt a little uneasy, and her fingers on her legs unconsciously clenched together.
The King of Jin used his inner strength to dissipate some of the alcohol in order to scare him. Then he picked up the wedding scale on the table and lifted up the exquisite red veil embroidered with auspicious dragons and phoenixes in gold and silver threads, revealing a beautiful face.
The moment the red veil was lifted, Shen Ruoxi subconsciously looked up at him, her eyes clean and bright, hiding a hint of shyness.
Xing Nong helped Shen Ruoxi put on some light makeup. She was originally a beautiful woman with perfect beauty from every angle, and her temperament was cool and unworldly. After putting on the light makeup, the advantages of her facial features were even more prominent. She was simply otherworldly and breathtakingly beautiful!
The King of Jin took a deep breath and felt even more dizzy than before.
Shen Ruoxi took a look and then dared not to look again, and lowered her head.
The King of Jin walked to the table next to him, picked up two cups of wedding wine, then walked back to the bed, sat next to her, and handed her one of the cups: "Let's drink the wedding wine together."
"Yeah." Shen Ruoxi responded softly, then took the wine glass.
The two of them put their hands around each other, intertwined together, and raised their heads to drink the peach blossom wine in the cup.
The King of Jin took the empty cup from her hand, put it aside, and then shouted to the outside, "Someone, serve the meal."
Two maids soon came in with a tray and placed several exquisite dishes with good meanings on the round table.
The King of Jin was worried that she had not eaten yet and was hungry, so he took her hand and helped her up: "Eat something first."
Shen Ruoxi had actually already eaten a bowl of sweet dumplings. Although there were only five of them, she was not hungry. "I'm not hungry. I've eaten."
"Then eat something with me." She was too nervous, she had to relax.
Upon hearing this, Shen Ruoxi sat down and continued eating with him.
The King of Jin spoke to her as he did every morning before, asking her what she had just talked about with Xingnong and the others and why it was so lively.
Shen Ruoxi then talked about the workshop, and slowly she relaxed and forgot about her nervousness.
They both finished eating quickly, and neither of them ate much to avoid indigestion.
After that, the King of Jin told her that there was a bathroom in the inner room and she could go in to wash, and asked a maid to serve her.
The two maids were palace maids brought from the State of Jin. Shen Ruoxi refused and took the clothes in herself.
When he came out of the bath, the King of Jin had already washed in another room and was sitting by the window reading a book.
Shen Ruoxi was a little at a loss.
Noticing that she had come out, the King of Jin glanced at her and then said nonchalantly, "You go to sleep first. I will finish reading this book before I go to sleep."
Shen Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief for some reason, and quickly climbed onto the bed and lay down on the inside. She looked at the person reading seriously on the windowsill, and felt surprised and a little disappointed.
Just when she was about to fall asleep, the King of Jin came back to the bed and pulled down the big red curtain.
She woke up suddenly and met his deep and charming fox eyes.
He held her hand, pulled her into his arms, and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, it's me."
Then he lowered his head and kissed her smooth forehead.
Shen Ruoxi closed her eyes subconsciously.
... ... ..
The banquet outside was still going on.
Xingnong, Shen Hanyu, Xingqing, Xinghui, Gu Zesen and other younger generations sat together.
Gu Zesen was a little absent-minded, drinking the peach blossom wine sip by sip.
Shen Hanyu raised his glass and said to Xing Nong, "Little sister, are you really not going to move to our new house with grandma and the others? There are enough rooms there! You can decorate the yard as well."
Now the mansion only has two entrances, and it will definitely need expansion in the future. My father has so many sons, and they will come to visit in the future. If we don’t expand, there won’t be enough room for them.
Xing Nong shook his head and refused. "I won't move. It doesn't matter where I live."
Shen Hanyu thought of his brothers in the Jin Palace, so he decided to introduce them to Xing Nong first: "Little sister, let me introduce you to our family. You have an older brother..."
"No need, I already know." She already knew how many sons the King of Jin had. As for personalities, everyone treats everyone differently, so the brothers in Shen Hanyu's eyes may not be the brothers in her eyes. Xingnong doesn't like to listen to what others say about people, but has her own judgment. She will talk about this after meeting him later, so Xingnong interrupted him, then she picked up the wine glass and took a sip of peach blossom wine.
This is the first brew of the year!
Moreover, this was brewed by her own hands, using peach blossoms grown in the formation and the peach blossoms in the creation space.
But a while ago, Xingnong thought that the peach blossoms on the mountain had bloomed, and thinking that it was useless even if they bloomed, Xingnong asked people to go up the mountain to pick all the peach blossoms in the peach forest. Old Tang was so angry that he almost chased her and beat her!
Later, Xingnong said that he would use the wine to make peach blossom wine, and would give him two jars when it was ready. After some bargaining, he would not give up until he got four jars.
Recently, the workshop has been busy brewing peach blossom wine, as well as making various flower crisps, flower candies, and small biscuits in various animal shapes. These flower crisps and small biscuits are quickly sold out as soon as they are put on the shelves because of their good looks.
Because of the issue of freshness, fresh flower crisps are only sold in Futai County, but they are still in short supply every day.
The small cookies can be sold to nearby cities, so the villagers in the workshop made small cookies and limited the supply of fresh flower crisps.
Peach Blossom Wine is packaged in a glass bottle. The pink peach blossom wine is so beautiful that it is sold out as soon as it is put on the shelves. Because peach blossoms are seasonal, some customers later wanted to place an order or add to the order but were unable to do so.
Because only a few thousand jars were brewed, they have all been sold to owners, and of course most of them are supplied to restaurants.
He couldn't bear to sell the rest of the brewed wine by Xingnong, so he kept it for gifts and for friends and relatives to drink.
But then the cherry blossoms bloomed, and there was cherry blossom wine. Cherry blossoms are even rarer than peach blossoms, and when the news got out, some people started to place orders, so the cherry blossoms were also closed for orders.
Then when summer comes, all kinds of fruits will be on the market, and then all kinds of fruit candies, jams, dried fruits and candied fruits can be prepared.
Anyway, the workshops will be very busy in the future, and even busier after autumn, but Xingnong has already used the ingredients in the space to teach the villagers how to make various snacks.
Just now, behind Shen Ruoxi, who was accompanying her in the bridal chamber, we were discussing with everyone where to pick cherry blossoms to make cherry blossom wine.
These are all wines, and are packaged in expensive glass bottles. The whole bottle of wine looks very beautiful, and is most popular among noble ladies and literati who like to pretend to be elegant, so it is sold at a very high price. A small bottle of peach blossom wine costs twenty taels of silver, and the profit from each bottle is more than nineteen taels. Everyone attaches great importance to it and hopes to pick more cherry blossoms.
Seeing Xingnong drinking, Shen Hanyu quickly snatched her cup and said, "Girls can't drink."
Then Shen Hanyu took away the wine glass in front of Xing Qing!
Xing Nong: "..."
Xing Qing also thought that the peach blossom wine was delicious. She hadn't had enough, so she couldn't help but ask, "Why can't we drink it? Are you guys the only ones allowed to drink it? Then go drink away!"
Shen Hanyu felt that he must not lead his sister astray, but he hadn’t drunk enough!
So he pulled Xinghui and Gu Zesen away from the table, and found Zhao Yong who was drinking alone in the corner, and drank together!
By the way, I took away the only bottle of Sakura wine on the table!
There is only one bottle per table, because there is not enough stock and we cannot provide enough.
Xing Qing: “… ”
She suspected that Shen Hanyu was just drinking too much, so he didn't let them drink.
~
The next day, Shen Ruoxi and the King of Jin did not get up until almost lunch time.
Shen Ruoxi was so tired that she couldn't even lift her hands. If the King of Jin hadn't been worried that she was hungry and coaxed her to get up and go back to her parents' home to have dinner with Xingnong and Gu, she would not have wanted to get up at all.
After Shen Ruoxi had finally washed and dressed, the King of Jin supported her and went directly to Taohua Village to have dinner with Xingnong, Gu and others.
Anyway, there are no elders in this family, and the two of them have the final say, so naturally they can do whatever they want.
During the meal, as long as Shen Ruoxi's eyes fell on the dish, the King of Jin would immediately put it into her bowl. When Gu saw her daughter's shy and smiling face, her heart was at ease.
Finally! Finally! My daughter finally got her happy ending after all the hardship she suffered!
Shen Hanyu was also surprised. He had never seen his father pick up food for that concubine, and he had never seen his father be so gentle!
It’s not like they had never eaten at the same table before, and most of the time, the emperor would pick up food for his younger sister. But today, he was only concerned with taking care of his wife.
Also, before, every morning and evening, the emperor would come over to fill the water tank and feed the pigs in the pigsty. But when he came today, he found that it was all done by the emperor's sister alone!
Shen Hanyu was worried that his father would forget about his daughter after marrying a wife, and that Xing Nong would feel neglected, so he reminded her, "Father, why did you come so late today? When I came here, I only saw my sister at home."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Ruoxi's face instantly turned red. She lowered her head a little. Just as she was about to say something, the King of Jin had already glared at Shen Hanyu, picked up a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth, blocking Shen Hanyu's mouth: "Why are you talking so much while eating?"
Shen Hanyu: “… ”
He was just kindly reminding him not to forget his imperial sister, so why did this tyrant get angry again
Isn’t he afraid of scaring the imperial sister so much that she won’t recognize him
Don’t think you can sit back and relax just because you married the emperor’s younger sister’s mother!
The truth is that the King of Jin was notorious for not caring about sex in the harem, among all the civil and military officials in the court. He often didn't go to the harem for several months, and every time he went to the harem, he wanted to have a princess again! So Shen Hanyu couldn't think of the real reason.
As someone who has experienced it, Gu understands it.
She originally thought that the King of Jin married Shen Ruoxi because she was Xingnong's biological mother.
She could see that the King of Jin liked Xingnong very much and wanted a daughter.
It seems that this is not the only reason.
In this way, she felt more at ease. Her granddaughter was important, but her daughter's happiness was more important!
Xing Nong wanted to avoid embarrassing Shen Ruoxi, so she changed the subject: "Grandma, when are you going to go to Beijing to get your leg treated?"
The King of Jin heard this and said, "I have prepared the boats and carriages."
Gu asked Xing Nong: "Have you arranged everything for the workshop? If you have, let's go to the capital after tomorrow!"
Gu wanted to get his foot healed as soon as possible.
Xing Nong: "I have arranged the workshop, so let's go to Beijing the day after tomorrow morning!"
Gu said to the King of Jin and Shen Ruoxi: "Xing Nong and I will go to the capital together. You don't have to go! Just take care of the family."
She felt that Shen Ruoxi's illness had recovered and there was no need to rush to Beijing. They had just gotten married, so it was more important for them to stay in the village and cultivate their relationship!
Shen Ruoxi said: "I want to go and take a look."
She was worried about Gu's legs.
