Chapter 214 Sister (Part [-])
Jiang Zhiluo didn't know why but she was a little curious. She was curious about what kind of person the prince was.

Even Cui Hejin's grandfather and father could persuade him to save him, but it was of no use.

And when the prince was mentioned, Cui Hejin's expression was also peaceful.

So even when the emperor was liquidating many years later, his grandfather and father were killed, the Cui family was exiled, and he and his mother suffered so much, he didn't have any resentment towards the prince in his heart.

It can only be said that this prince is a person worthy of support and allegiance.

Cui Hejin looked down at Jiang Zhiluo. Under the illumination of the oil lamp, the tiny light in her eyes became more and more obvious.

Such curiosity.

Cui Hejin said elegantly: "The prince is virtuous, kind, intelligent, knowledgeable in both civil and military affairs, and knows people well."

"Not only the prince, but also the great grandson, although he was young, he was extremely talented. He was as virtuous, kind and intelligent as the prince."

Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said, "It's a pity that the prince is dead and the grandson is also dead."

"Our current emperor is really ruthless."

Jiang Zhiluo only felt that it was a pity that such a virtuous prince died, as well as his grandson.

If the prince and grandson were both alive, Yunguo would be a different scene.

After the death of the deposed prince, the previous emperor passed away, and the current emperor ascended the throne, many things happened in the Yun Kingdom in the past few years.

There are famines, wars, and exorbitant taxes.

Officials protect each other and harm the people.

The sky is high in their northern state and the emperor is far away. In addition, they have a county magistrate who cares about the people, so it is relatively good.

But if the crown prince and grandson had succeeded to the throne, the country of Yun would have been much better off.

But now is not the time for them to think about this.

Just talking like this, Cui Hejin and Jiang Zhiluo returned home.

Mrs. Cui was relieved when she saw Jiang Zhiluo coming back.

"I'm back. Dinner is ready. Wash your hands and eat first."

"it is good."

Cui Hejin and Jiang Zhiluo put down their things, washed their hands and ate.

While eating, Jiang Zhiluo mentioned that she now had more than 30 taels of silver.

After seeing Jiang Zhiluo's medical skills, Mrs. Cui became much calmer.

Mrs. Cui said: "Zhiluo, with this money, you can rest at home. You don't have to go to the town to sell things every day. If you are worried, mother will go to the town to set up a stall."

With so much money in hand, their family can feel much more relaxed.

Besides, they also planted a lot of grain in their fields. After harvesting the grain, they would have enough to eat, so they wouldn’t need much grain at that time.

Jiang Zhiluo said: "Mom, it's okay. If I go to the town to set up a stall, I can also hear some useful news."

"It's good for us."

If you leave her alone, she won't be able to stay idle.

"If I weren't afraid of war, I would rent a store."

And the weather is getting warmer, and it’s too hot to set up a stall outside in the summer.

She even wants to rent a store to sell pastries and bread.

But now that there will be a war at any time, I still don’t want to rent a store.

Mrs. Cui said attentively: "Indeed, once there is a war, no one will buy or rent shops. They will sell houses and shops."

Hearing these words, Jiang Zhiluo's expression changed. If someone went to a takeout store and the price was cheap, she would want to buy it.

Because when the war subsides, we can open a store.

So she still has to go to the town to set up a stall, so she can keep an eye on the news in the town.

"By the way, mother, I went to the mountain to pick up some walnuts and chestnuts."

Mrs. Cui said: "Walnuts, I know, they are dried fruits. In the past, dried fruit stores in Beijing sold dried fruits, such as walnuts, red dates, almonds, etc. But these chestnuts, couldn't they be tribute fruits?"

The name sounds familiar. In previous years, the emperor would give some of the rare and rare things as tribute to some ministers to try them out.Jiang Zhiluo opened her eyes wide as she listened, "No way, is it really Gongguo?"

Chestnuts are very common in modern times, and you can often see stalls selling fried chestnuts on the roadside.

In winter, you can often see roasted sweet potatoes and fried chestnuts on the roadside. Many people pass by after get off work and buy some to eat.

With a strong smokey smell.

Mrs. Cui said: "If it is called chestnut, it may be Gongguo."

"It tastes quite delicious. Every year, the Duke's Mansion receives such a small basket as a reward from the emperor."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Cui also felt a little nostalgic.

Looking at Mrs. Cui's expression, Jiang Zhiluo said, "Mom, I'll show it to you."

Madam Cui quickly grabbed her and said, "No, sit down and eat first, and then we'll talk after you finish the meal."

"Mom, I picked up a lot of chestnuts on the mountain. We can eat as much as we want."

"I was thinking that I could also make sugar-fried chestnuts and set up a stall."

Mrs. Cui was both surprised and looking forward to it, "Is that many?"

Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said: "Originally, chestnuts and walnuts are ripe things in autumn, but in the mountains and forests, no one goes there, so there are a lot of them on the ground. I picked some. If it hadn't been dark, I would have picked more."

Mrs. Cui said happily: "Okay, okay, Zhiluo, you are the best."

Mrs. Cui sighed in her heart, she just felt that Zhi Luo was really a prosperous child.

You can always find something good when you go to the mountains.

The family talked and had dinner happily.

After dinner, Mrs. Cui cleaned up and washed up, while Jiang Zhiluo poured out the walnuts and chestnuts from the basket on her back from the yard.

Take out some walnuts first, then use a stone to hit the walnuts, pick out the walnut kernels, and put them in when making porridge tomorrow.

Then, Jiang Zhiluo took out some chestnuts to wash.

After washing, it is time to make incisions with a knife.

Use a knife to cut through the thick skin at the end of the chestnut.

Cui Hejin walked over to watch her movements, gently stretched out his hand and said, "I'll cut it."

Jiang Zhiluo thought that Cui Hejin's sword skills were indeed powerful.

Sometimes he helps cut vegetables and he does them very well.

"Then you make a slit in this part of the chestnut, cut it like this, and fry it. It will be especially easy to peel and eat."

Cui Hejin's expression changed, and he felt that his little wife knew a lot more about food than others.

"When we ate chestnuts in the past, my mother and sisters always lamented that the skin of chestnuts was very difficult to peel and it took a long time to peel one piece. So at that time, the maids would help peel them and then they ate them."

Jiang Zhiluo was stunned and moved her hands, "How are your sisters doing now?"

Cui Hejin explained in a low voice: "They are all already married. The Cui family has been punished. The crime is not as bad as that of the married women, so they do not need to be exiled."

"only……"

Just what, Cui Hejin didn't say, but his eyebrows slightly wrinkled, showing that he was also worried about them.

Jiang Zhiluo naturally understood this.

Jiang Zhiluo followed Cui Hejin's words and added: "It's just that marriages between big families depend on family background. Many married women want to live a good life in their husband's family, but also depends on the power of their mother's family, right?"

Cui Hejin nodded.

Jiang Zhiluo said: "So without Cui Guogong's mansion, you are worried that they will be wronged."

"But no matter how wronged you are, at least you are alive. Living is better than being exiled and suffering."

"The journey from the capital to Beizhou is so long. It takes a month or two to ride in a carriage, let alone walk. If they are weak, they may not be able to carry it and leave halfway, so they have to stay alive first. has hope."

"Besides, if you want to return to the capital, you will have the opportunity to go back one day."
