Farmhouse vicious stepmother, she is super fierce

Zhuangtou only had time to kowtow, but before he could speak, he was stopped by the nurse next to Mrs. Xu, motioning him to step aside.

Helped Mrs. Xu into the yard.

Shen Jiayan saw Xu's voice from the main room, and rushed out to greet her.

Although the two hadn't seen each other for about half a year, they were not unfamiliar at all, and they greeted each other with courtesy.

Shen Jiayan showed Mrs. Xu a little tired, and simply took her away to the backyard.

Mammy Dong told Zhuangtou's daughter to fetch hot water and come to serve Mrs. Xu to wash and wash up. She changed her clothes before returning to her seat.

After tea and snacks were served, Mammy Dong guarded the gate of the courtyard very wisely, not allowing anyone to approach.

When Mrs. Xu came to see Shen Jiayan, she naturally wanted to talk about business.

Xun Jinyuan entrusted the sugar making recipe and the white sugar like snowflakes, and presented them in time for the Longevity Festival.

It is said that not only His Majesty the Emperor Longyan was overjoyed, but also those dignitaries in the imperial court were also very happy.

Hearing that this snowflake-like white sugar immediately became the favorite of the nobles in the harem.

The high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital are all proud of getting a little plum blossom snow sugar, and all the major merchants are also asking for plum blossom snow sugar, and even many scholars have written many popular poems for this plum blossom snow sugar .

For a while, it was really expensive in the capital.

I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at this plum blossom snow candy.

Only then did Xun Jinyuan realize that he was a little rash in presenting the gift this time.

It's just that the matter has come to this point, and there is no turning back. For those who are tempted by all parties, who are tempted, overtly lured, and secretly threatened, he gritted his teeth and struggled to support him.

Finally, the day when the clouds are cleared and the sun can be seen.

At the end of February, the imperial decree finally came down, and Xun Jinyuan was promoted from the county magistrate of the seventh rank to the magistrate of Anlu Prefecture from the fourth rank.

Logically speaking, the leapfrog promotion of officials from other places is basically a promotion in another place, but because of the sugar workshop, Xun Jinyuan was rarely promoted in the same place.

But at the same time, another personnel order arranged for a governor to take office in the near future. It is said that the specific job duties of this governor are to assist Xun Jinyuan to firmly control the sugar workshop.

To put it bluntly, the governor doesn't know whether it is His Majesty the Emperor or some other force that puts Xun Jinyuan's eyes on him.

But this was already a surprise for Xun Jinyuan.

That's why Xu was anxious to let Shen Jiayan come to the county seat quickly, so that he could discuss future matters in advance.

At first, they all thought that if Xun Jinyuan was promoted because of this matter, he would either return to the capital or move to another place.

It would be best if he could stay in Anlu mansion now.

Xun Jinyuan was in charge of the size of the sugar production. According to the intention of the court, the production of plum blossom snow sugar in about one year should not be less than [-] catties.

The demand is so high that now Xun Jinyuan is having a headache about the raw material beet, and he is afraid that the output will not meet the requirements of the court.

Therefore, the sugar workshop that Shen Jiayan and Xu are going to build in private can just help Xun Jinyuan relieve the pressure.

And with Xun Jinyuan covering his head, there is no problem.

What Xu is worried about now is that if Xun Jinyuan can't meet the production requirements, so if he wants to see Shen Jiayan, he also wants to ask her if there is any other way?

When Shen Jiayan heard it, he didn't expect that Xun Jinyuan didn't need to go to another place to save money, that would be great.

Now that she is separated from Mu Pojun, she is naturally on the same boat as Xu Shi and Xun Jinyuan. Xun Jinyuan, the new magistrate, is good, and she is a good person to handle things.

So after thinking about it for a while, I probably had some rules in my mind, and whispered a few words in Xu's ear.

Xu was a little surprised at first, but immediately overjoyed.

With a solution to the most worrying thing in her heart, she finally let go of what she had been worrying about.

After finishing their business, both of them relaxed.

Mrs. Xu took a sip of hot tea and let out a long sigh of relief. The two of them didn't see each other. They lazily leaned against the window and watched the spring outside, lost their minds for a while.

Mrs. Xu said, "You really divorced your ex-husband-in-law? Why bother? Since he survived a catastrophe, he knew that you were watching over him and raised three children. Based on this, let him No matter how many women there are, they can't destroy your order! And those children in front, everyone knows that you treat them more than a loving mother. You have taken your name and righteousness, and these children will dare not be filial to you in the future! When you have your own children in the future, no matter whether it is for the word of filial piety or for their own reputation, you should treat your children well."

"You have suffered so much before, and you have finally paid off your hardships. There will be no accidents in the future, and the good days are yet to come. Why let it go? You know, once you let go, all the hardships and sins you suffered before are all in vain. ate!"

"The man in front of you, I heard that he is still a military officer, and he may not be able to earn a royal order for you in the future! At that time, you will also be a court wife, call your slaves, and live your life in glory and wealth."

"But you gave up these things. If you remarry in the future, I'm afraid it's not as good as this one! I'm afraid that the person who remarries will probably be a widower, and there will be children left behind. Is it possible that you have to suffer again? Why bother? ?”

Shen Jiayan knew that Mrs. Xu regarded her as someone close to her, so she said these words.

It's just that she accepted her heart, but she couldn't agree with her words.

After thinking about it, I decided to reveal some of my thoughts to Xu Shi. After all, she is the person I want to cooperate with in the future. Let her know a little bit about her own thoughts and bottom line.

Smiling now, looking out the window, at the blue sky, a bird chirped and flew by, the willow branches were soft, fluttering with the breeze, it was really spring, it made people feel a little softer.

Shen Jiayan's voice was also soft, with the warmth of a spring breeze: "I understand what Ma'am said! If I want to live a better life for the rest of my life, I just need to pretend to be infatuated and unrepentant after I come back. As long as he has a little bit of conscience, he will feel guilty and won't treat me badly!"

"What's more, the three children in front of me, I think I have done my best, and I have never treated them badly! There is also a plaque given by an adult. If those three children want to have a good reputation, they can go to official careers, or military officers. No matter what, you must serve me carefully.”

"No matter how careful and gentle I am, I will use a few tricks to grab the man's heart and give birth to my own flesh and blood. In this life, as long as I don't make the mistake of killing someone, I will be safe and sound in Mu's family! It is the simplest and easiest path! It is the path that almost all women in this world will choose!"

"But what should I do? Such a road is smooth and stable, and the end can be seen at a glance! But I just don't want to go! Because I am unwilling! Because I can deceive the world, but I can't deceive my own heart! I don't like it! I don't like it! like!"

Speaking of this, Shen Jiayan's voice also had a hint of gold.

"At the beginning, my natal family sold me to the Mu family for the sake of my elder brother! After the accident, I went back to my natal family for help, but my natal family turned me away!"

"I married into Mu's family, and my husband went to the battlefield on the wedding night. He only left me in Mu's house with three children, a tricky mother-in-law, a rascal uncle, and a greedy and calculating sister-in-law. I did it." A newly married woman can do everything, I am filial to my mother-in-law, I love my brother-in-law and younger siblings, and treat all children equally. To the Mu family, I offer the greatest sincerity!"

"How did Kemu's family treat me?" Shen Jiayan's voice became sharper.
