I was a stepmother in ancient times, and I led my whole family to wealth.

Chapter 262 The Dragon with a Leaky Mouth 2

However, Long Er was unaware of the enormity of his actions. Although Emperor Shengde agreed to Cang Lingchen's proposal, he was still seething with resentment.

Sure enough, the tenth prince of Liangzhou, Cang Lingzhuo, heard that his elder brother, the emperor, was going to host a banquet for the officials this year.

Just then, his maternal family, the Duke of Jin, sent a merchant caravan to Cangli State and brought back a lot of things.

Among them were dried fish and dried shrimp, which were quickly sent to Emperor Shengde.

Sure enough, Long Er started talking nonsense again, saying that he had eaten prawns at Dongfang Jin's place, some of which were as big as his palm.

Long Yi wanted to shut him up, but the guy seemed not to have seen his signal at all and kept babbling on.

He also said that during his injury, he stayed at Dongfang Jin's place and ate a type of fish called cod.

They say the fish has no bones, isn't fishy, ​​and its flesh is smooth and not greasy, even more tender than pork... They say the fish only comes from the deep sea.

The cod was incredibly delicious, each bite a feast for the senses, leaving a lasting and unforgettable impression.

What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener!

These words reached Emperor Shengde's ears, and he suddenly felt that the dried fish and shrimp in front of him were no longer appealing.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Long Er became increasingly hostile.

Thinking of her cousin Cang Lingxuan, who had sneaked out, she felt even more vented in her anger.

He also wanted to eat a prawn the size of his palm!

He also wanted to eat cod that lived in the deep sea!

Dongfang Jin...!!!

That Ryuji is so annoying!

Just then, a message arrived from the Shadow Guards, saying that since the Prince of Zhao in Qingzhou was placed under investigation, the phenomenon of human sacrifice has appeared in Lu'an Prefecture, which borders Sizhou and Jizhou.

Emperor Shengde immediately perked up, summoned Long Shiyi, and ordered him to ride at full speed to Ling'an County to deliver an imperial edict.

All that Long Er said was just to go back to Lingwu Village, wasn't it?

He absolutely wouldn't let him go!

Let's stay in Kyoto from now on!

Humph……

Upon hearing these words, Lu Yunqing also thought of the behavior of the deceased and frowned: "As far as I know, although Lu'an Prefecture is called a prefecture, it is not as wealthy as a single county under its jurisdiction."

East of Lu'an Prefecture lies the main trunk of the South Canal, and to the north lies the tail section of the Daqingshan Mountains.

"Across the Qingzhou Bridge River is Sizhou, and to the south is Jeju..."

As he spoke, Dongfang Jin watched him dip his teacup in tea and draw the landscape of Lu'an Prefecture on the table. The place looked like a small soup spoon.

It looks a lot like a miniature version of the Big Dipper.

The Lu'an Prefecture is nestled inside that soup spoon, and the handle of the spoon is the wooden bridge leading to Sizhou, the Qingzhou Bridge.

When she heard Lu Yunqing talk about how dangerous the wooden bridge was, she felt that the bridge definitely needed to be repaired.

This ancient wooden bridge was too dangerous.

No matter what kind of oil you use to soak the wood for the stakes, it can't withstand being soaked in water for many years.

Cement blocks are more reliable; at least they don't need to be repaired every year.

Sigh, when will the status of artisans be elevated in ancient times?

Come on over!

[Me? Don't make sarcastic remarks; I'm not in power.]

【You can make suggestions, right? In the past, you sent recipes and books, but ever since Long Jiu successfully made cement, you've been talking about so many benefits.】

The emperor would definitely want to prove something first, and then business would follow.

Don't forget, we also have me and the computer at home; we can draw blueprints from there with ease.

Then you can compare them again using the blueprints. What do you think those craftsmen desire most?

You want me to take the blueprints to the emperor to negotiate? Heh, looks like that won't work.

Even if the emperor agreed, what about those craftsmen? They all had an inferiority complex ingrained in their very bones.

Unless we train a new group and have them subtly guide those people, but that would take a long time.

Yes, wouldn't it be wonderful if this world were like yours, where everyone could go to school?

Dongfang Jin...

It is indeed good, but you can't eat a meal one bite at a time, or walk a road one step at a time.

As Cang Lingchen listened to Lu Yunqing's words, he secretly circulated his inner energy, and his gaze toward Long Shiyi grew colder and colder.

Gu Chenglin stood up: "I'll prepare more food for you, you can just heat it up and eat it yourself."

Although she didn't like her brother-in-law, he was still her brother-in-law and family.

The relationship has to be maintained, whether it's loose or tight; you have to consider the Buddha's feelings even if you don't care about the monk.

Cangying then stepped in: "Brother Chenglin, please prepare more braised meat for the young master, and some tea eggs too, as well as your spicy radish strips, and..."

Gu Chenglin, who had just calmed down, looked at Cangying and realized he really resembled a "fly," and he wanted to punch him.

Why don't you move our whole house away!

Dongfang Jin glanced at Cangying, then stood up. This man was her elder brother's man, and also the leader of the shadow guards on her cheap father's side. He was even given the surname "Cang," so he must be quite capable.

"I'll go prepare it."

Dongfang Jin went out and said, "Ruyi, how about giving Cang Lingchen a Qiankun bag?"

[Just give it to him. It's already been exposed. You've already given it to the emperor; it wouldn't be right for your own brother not to give something in return.]

Its agreement was not without reason. It could clearly see from its surroundings that Cang Lingchen was a man of action.

With his continued efforts, this world will progress faster. As for the Qilin Child, he naturally has his own tasks.

【Too. 】

Dongfang Jin arrived at the warehouse, closed the door, and entered the space.

Ruyi had already prepared a Qiankun bag for her, and the seeds inside had been poured into other spatial bags.

Looking at the extra land in the Ruyi Realm, it has already been planted with things in a circular pattern.

The outer layer is potato seedlings with white flowers, and the lush green wheat has now sprouted ears. The inner layer is corn, forming a large wreath around the land next to her villa and You Ran Ju. And that land is still expanding like a snail.

"Little Ruyi, go and pick some corn. It'll save you trouble. He can boil it or roast it himself."

"Row."

Dongfang Jin entered the house, went to the freezer, opened it, and took out McNuggets, popcorn chicken, and a box of nougat.

They took out a small amount of each of the semi-finished products, but since the others were raw and difficult for them to prepare, they didn't take any.

Then he opened the refrigerator and took out a lot of other things besides beef. With Yu Ying following along, it was no trouble at all.

When Dongfang Jin came out, she found Cang Lingchen standing in the courtyard waiting for her, with Cang Ying, Wei Ying and Yu Ying with a sullen face standing not far away.

Yu Ying saw her come out: I don't want to leave.

Dongfang Jin: You have to leave.

Yu Ying: I'm here to protect you.

Dongfang Jin: I don't need protection now. Be good and go help your young master.

Jade Shadow...

Dongfang Jin stopped staring at Yu Ying and walked to Cang Lingchen's side: "Aren't you leaving tomorrow?"

Cang Lingchen did not answer her directly, but stared at her with deep eyes: "You know everything, don't you?"

Dongfang Jin nodded. "You've all made it so obvious, we can't help but want to know."

"What good will knowing do? Let's just let things take their course. I know your concerns; if we break the ice so quickly, I'm afraid something might go wrong."

After all, the people hiding in the shadows haven't been dealt with yet. If this gets out to someone with ulterior motives, it could cause serious trouble for the family.

The emperor seems to be doing well now, but he currently has no heir.

"Once the Empress gives birth to the Crown Prince, he might lower his guard against you."

Cang Lingchen gave a wry smile, ruffled her hair, and said affectionately, "You see very clearly, but the Empress's illness..."

Dongfang Jin interrupted him: "I have already given her the medicine. Just wait three more months. After three months, good news will definitely come from the Empress."

Upon hearing this, Cang Lingchen asked excitedly, "You gave the Empress the medicine? Are you sure she will have children?"
