It just so happened that Shen Jingzhu was going to the countryside to see the harvest in the past few days.The land in Yaozhou is quite suitable for growing a kind of fruit called pineapple. A few years ago, Su Youning bought a lot of seeds from the sea merchants, and some people started to grow this fruit.This fruit has ten ripening times, which means that pineapple can be eaten in four stages a year.

Shen Jingzhu was very concerned about this matter, not only to check the harvest, but also made several trips to help contact the merchants who purchased the goods.And pineapple, a fruit with a strong sweet and sour taste, is very popular, especially pineapple, which can not only be eaten, but also used for cooking.Pineapple rice and pineapple meat are delicious delicacies that make people's eyes shine. Shen Jingzhu likes these two dishes very much, and asks the kitchen to cook them several times a month.No matter how bad it is, the princess will hold a pineapple feast at that time, which will naturally spread this fruit.

Although the weather was quite hot, Shen Jingzhu was covered in sweat from the sun. Fortunately, she didn't apply makeup, otherwise her makeup would be ruined by sweat.When she saw the fruitful pineapples, she was still in a good mood.In her eyes, these are all money.

The pineapple farmers were also very excited. With Princess Qionghua and Lord Shen around, they didn't worry about the sales of the pineapple, nor were they afraid that someone would intentionally bully them and lower the price.If all these pineapples can be sold, maybe they can build a new house for the family.

Some insisted on sending Shen Jingzhu's own pineapples.

"My pineapples are sour and sweet. They are the biggest ones in the village. Look at how well my pineapples grow."

"My family's is better, my family's is the sweetest. Master Shen chooses my family's!"

For them, Shen Jingzhu who leads them to make money and is willing to worry about their livelihood is a good person.

Shen Jingzhu was dumbfounded. Compared with dealing with those officials and women, dealing with these peasants made her feel more relaxed.

She said: "Otherwise, each of you will give me one, and I will buy them all." A pineapple is not expensive.Fortunately, she was prepared before going out and exchanged a lot of broken silver for a lot of copper coins.

"How can you buy this? If I take your money, my father will definitely break my leg later."

"That's right, a pineapple is not worth much, you pick a few and go back to eat."

Shen Jingzhu knew that they had good intentions, but she really couldn't say this.She patiently explained: "As officials, we cannot accept things from the common people, otherwise we will violate the rules set by the princess, and the fined money might be able to buy all the pineapples in your family."

When she said that, they gave up.I can't help but feel that the people in Princess Qionghua's mansion are different from other officials.The other officials wished they could scrape off a layer of flesh from their ordinary people, so Princess Qionghua was worried that they would be bullied.

Each of Shen Jingzhu's family bought a pineapple - anyway, there are quite a few people in the Princess Mansion, and these pineapples are just for everyone to taste.She saw that the princess seemed to be a little troubled these days, and she only hoped that the princess would be happy because of these pineapples.

Each family has one pineapple, and the money spent is not much, but these pineapples really take up a lot of space.Fortunately, Shen Jingzhu was prepared to go out this time, and brought several carriages, which could barely fit them.

On her way back, she met Mrs. Guo who had been prepared for a long time.

"Master Shen, what a coincidence, I was going to offer incense, but I didn't expect to meet you." Mrs. Guo said with a gentle face, her eyes fell on Shen Jingzhu's face, and she felt a little pity in her heart——Shen Jingzhu's tenacity is what she owes appreciated.

Shen Jingzhu knew very well that this was no coincidence, it was clearly the other party who came to the door on his own initiative.

She nodded slightly, "Good day, Mrs. Guo." Because of her frequent dealings with Yaozhou women's family members and her daily care, she is like a treasure to every official and official family member.Shen Jingzhu knew even more that the Guo family even asked a matchmaker to propose a marriage a few days ago, and now they are probably here for that marriage.

Mrs. Guo said: "I have always raised a daughter, but unfortunately my stomach is not up to par. I only gave birth to a few bastards, but none of them gave birth to a daughter, so I can only raise my daughter-in-law as a daughter."

"I think Mr. Shen is very nice, and his temper is very congenial with mine. I don't know if my bastard is so honored?" Compared with her own son, Mrs. Guo is still better at being a human being.No matter what you think in your heart, the posture is put out.

Shen Jingzhu will not change her mind because of this, the Guo family's respect is only superficial, and she still looks down on her in her heart.

She said lightly: "Master Lingfu is a dragon and a phoenix among men, I am just a willow, and I am not worthy of Mr. Ling."

Mrs. Guo was stunned for a moment, she refused so quickly.Is it because of the existence of her concubine?

As soon as she gritted her teeth, she said, "My son is foolish. He had concubine sons before his first wife got married. No matter how many concubine sons and daughters he has in the future, I will let them be raised by his future daughter-in-law."

Mrs. Guo may not be willing to let Shen Jingzhu give birth to a child, even if the child is a natural child, it may be laughed at.But raising concubine children under Shen Jingzhu's name has many benefits.

Shen Jingzhu simply put it more clearly, "I have never planned to get married in my life, and I am very satisfied with my current life. The trivial matters of life after marriage will only delay my business. My time is very precious, and I don't want to use it to raise my children. "

She knew very well that the Guo family had taken a fancy to her position in the princess' heart.

Mrs. Guo was stunned, as if seeing Shen Jingzhu for the first time, "You don't plan to get married? What about your incense?"

Shen Jingzhu said lightly: "You married into the Guo family, raised children for them, and took care of housework, but can you enter the family tree of the Guo family? When future generations worship, will anyone remember you? Your tombstone, above It will only record Guan Shi." Even his real name could not be left behind.

"But I know that the people will remember what I have done. When I went to the countryside just now, I even saw them erect a monument for me." This is more meaningful than her raising children and being a good wife and mother up.

Mrs. Guo froze like a stone statue, she didn't even notice when Shen Jingzhu left.

"Ma'am." Her confidant looked at her worriedly.

Mrs. Guo sighed as if waking up from a dream, "Let's go back."

She knew that this marriage was impossible, it was her wishful thinking before.

She said to the driver: "Go and ask, if there is a monument for Shen Jingzhu in the nearby village? Let's go and have a look."

……

Mrs. Guo stopped thinking about marriage after seeing the stone tablet erected by the villagers for Shen Jingzhu.Even the marriage of the youngest son is somewhat disinterested.

No matter how much she has done, she will not leave much trace in the hearts of future generations.They will remember the male elders in the family, certainly not them.She prevented him from being with her nephew for the sake of Ah Shu, but in the end she was treated as a villain who beat up mandarin ducks, which is really boring.

There was no movement on her side, but her son Guo Jianshu took the initiative to inquire about the marriage.
