Chapter 757 Princess 6
Princess House.
Sheng Huan got off the carriage.
The housekeeper, Matron Zhou, hurriedly led the palace servants to greet them and knelt down in accordance with the rules.
"See Princess."
Madam Zhou looked remorseful. If she had known that something like that would happen yesterday, she would have followed the princess to the prime minister's residence.
“Get up.” Sheng Huan waved her hand. Seeing Madam Zhou’s expression and the anxiety of other palace servants, she remained calm and ordered, “Madam Zhou, have someone go down and prepare some clay, glue, pear wood, jujube wood, and some metal.”
It’s not good to think too much, it’s better to do something practical.
"That's right." Sheng Huan saw that Madam Zhou was indeed stunned, and then she looked serious. She nodded secretly and continued: "Find a few more craftsmen with good skills. Remember, they must be able to carve words."
"Yes, Princess. I will do it right away."
When Madam Zhou saw that her princess's eyes were bright, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then, when she heard her princess's instructions, she felt even more excited.
Sheng Huan nodded.
Once these things are prepared, it will be quick.

Sheng Huan leaves.
Walking from the main gate, the place was extremely luxurious. White jade steps were paved all the way without any cost, and there were countless carved railings and painted buildings, as well as expensive and famous flowers.
Sheng Huan looked at it and sighed in his heart. The original owner was indeed the most beloved daughter of the Emperor and Empress. The specifications of this princess's mansion were simply amazing.
I don’t know how the original owner in the original novel could live in the prime minister’s residence for so long after living in such a comfortable princess’s mansion.
After all, there is a saying that goes, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
"Someone come here." Sheng Huan walked for a while, found a suitable place to stop, and ordered: "Ask the gardener in the mansion to come over."
The servant bowed and withdrew.
When Tan Yue saw Sheng Huan looking at the soil on the ground, she roughly understood what she was going to do.
"Princess, but do you want to plant potatoes here?"
Tan Yue actually didn’t know what this potato was, but since the princess said it was a good thing, it must be a good thing.
Sheng Huan raised the corners of his lips slightly: "This land is good. When the potato production increases, we will move to another place to plant it."
Eight potatoes, cut and still in good condition. After all, she cultivated them, which can improve their activity. Even if these potatoes are wilted, she has to make them alive.
When there are too many, just leave it to Emperor Tiancheng to handle.
In fact, the staple food of the common people in this world is still some beans and corn. Although they grow wheat and rice, the yield of wheat and rice is extremely low, and it is obvious that only the upper class can afford to eat the precious staple food.
As for the common people, they only had one requirement for food: to fill their stomachs. So even if they still had wheat and rice after paying taxes, they would rather sell them and save the money or exchange them for cheaper coarse grains than eat these fine grains.
"See Princess."
Soon, the gardener from the princess's mansion was brought over.
"You've come just in time." Sheng Huan asked Tan Yue to take out the potatoes: "I want to plant potatoes here."
The gardeners couldn't help but look at the yellow fruit in Tan Yue's hand. Even though they were gardeners in the princess's mansion, they had never seen this thing before. They thought it must be the princess's new seeds.
"Just listen to what I say."
The gardeners quickly pricked up their ears, afraid of missing anything.
“First, the cutting.”
"Remember, it's best to mix the seeds with wood ash..."
“The amount of water used for watering…”
The gardeners worked diligently.
After they finished planting, Sheng Huan told Tan Yue: "When the remaining five are delivered, you watch them plant."
"Yes, princess."
Sheng Huan returned to the main courtyard.
-
At the same time, outside Beijing, Lin family.
"Mother, please don't die! Father will be back with the money soon."
"Mom, please don't die!"
Lin Xiaohua and Lin Ergou were guarding beside their mother's bed. Seeing that her breathing was weak and she could not open her eyes, the brother and sister were so scared that they burst into tears.
The oldest of the two is only eight years old, and the youngest is only five years old. There is no one else at home now, and their mother is seriously ill, so they are at a loss.
Lin was held by her daughter and son and cried for a long time. She was exhausted and opened her eyes with difficulty.
"Xiaohua, Ergou, Mom is fine..."
Lin's heart ached when she saw her daughter and son's tattered clothes and their skinny faces.
The family still had some money in the past, and although the children’s clothes were not very good, they had never worn such tattered clothes.
All the changes started when she fell ill. The family's money and savings were all squandered, but her illness did not get better, and in fact, it had become a bottomless pit.
Her nose felt sore as she thought that if it weren't for her illness, her family wouldn't have been in such a state.
"Mom is just a little sleepy." Lin's lips were dry and chapped: "Xiaohua, Ergou, if in the future..."
"Mom, I'll go get you some water!" Lin Ergou's eyes were red. He didn't want to listen and ran out quickly.
Lin looked at her son's thin back, her eyes filled with tears.
She held back her tears and grabbed her daughter's hand.
"Xiaohua..." Lin said weakly, "Mom is too ill, and we have no money left at home."
"Mom!" Lin Xiaohua fell on the bed and held her mother's hand tightly: "Father will exchange it for silver! The fruit we ate has never been seen by others. It must be very valuable."
Lin smiled bitterly.
No matter how valuable it is, how much can it be worth? My husband hasn't come back for so long, so things must not be going well for him.
She can't hold them back anymore. Xiaohua and Ergou are still young, and they have to grow up. She can't hold them back anymore.
"Xiaohua, listen to what mother says. In the future, you and your brother must support each other. If you have a... stepmother in the future, you and your brother must be diligent. As long as you grow up, everything will be fine."
"Mom, I don't want a stepmother. Ergou and I only have you as our mother!" Lin Xiaohua shed tears. Her mother could hardly hold on any longer, but her father had not come back yet.
Lin Xiaohua was in a mess.
Lin couldn't hold back the tears any longer, and they fell down: "Okay, there is only one mother."
Lin hugged her daughter and said, "Mom is hungry, Xiaohua, go get some food with Ergou."
"it is good!"
When Lin Xiaohua heard her mother wanted to eat, she thought she had let it go: "Mom, I'll go now and I'll be back soon."
"Slow down, don't fall."
Finally, Mrs. Lin looked at her child with affection, and after Li Xiaohua left, she got out of bed.
Lin stared at the wall, her body shaking.
In the end, he rushed forward with all his might.
"Yiniang!"
As soon as Lin Dakang came back, he saw this scene. His pupils shrank, the blood color on his face disappeared instantly, and he rushed forward.
