Chapter 546
The two of them had eaten grapes before, but they remembered that the grapes grown in the manor were a little different from the ones they ate.
The watermelons only ripened faster because Gu Nian had doused them with a relatively low amount of Jade Pearl water in the small plot of land. Therefore, the grapes in the grape plot had not ripened.
There were more flowers in the field.
Empress Jiang felt as if she had fallen in love with this place. There were so many flowers here that even she, as the Empress Dowager, had never seen before!
“Sister Gu, your child is really amazing!” Empress Jiang said as she held onto grandma Gu’s arm.
“These seeds were all given by the Zhou family. They can only be said to be good at farming. we villagers can’t do anything else but farm, otherwise we won’t be able to eat!” Grandma Gu had a good impression of Empress Jiang.
“Yup! I can say that I’ve seen all kinds of famous flowers, and some of them were also raised by old master Zhou and sent to the capital. However, old master Zhou’s ability in farming is still a little inferior to your family’s.” Empress Jiang laughed, then suddenly changed the topic to Grandpa Gu. by the way, sister Gu, I heard that your brother Chuan is a refugee, and your boss is 34 years old. So, brother ye came to Qing Zhou 35 years ago, right? Then where is brother ye from?”
Grandma Gu stopped in her tracks and looked at Empress Jiang suspiciously.
Empress Jiang smiled calmly and said, ” “I thought brother ye looked quite familiar. My husband’s family name is also ye, so I asked to see if they’re from the same place.”
Grandma Gu turned to look at Grandpa Gu, who was showing the children the flowers. brother Chuan escaped from the North. Only his father and sister were at home. During the escape, both of them were killed. In the end, they came to our village and my father saved him.
“Oh, so there’s a father and a sister. That shouldn’t be the case then.” Empress Jiang suddenly realized. my husband has an elder brother, but there was no news of him for decades. the family’s fortune was waiting for him to inherit, but he couldn’t find him. in the end, my stepmother could only let my husband inherit it. ”
“Oh, I don’t think so.” Grandma Gu nodded. Brother Chuan, his father, and his sister only had each other to depend on since he was young. He has no brothers.”
Empress Jiang sighed,”my husband’s stepmother is 70 years old this year.” The old lady ate vegetarian and prayed to Buddha all day long, thinking that she could find her eldest son. Although she didn’t say it, we, the younger generation, have all seen it. I just hope that my brother is still alive and can go back to reunite with his mother. You also know that you’re already 70 years old, and you really don’t know when you’ll die. Although she didn’t raise my husband, I respect her for raising my son. I also hope that she can get what she wants and leave no regrets.”
grandma gu sighed,’sigh, it’s not easy for the elderly! I hope you can achieve your wish soon.”
......
After staying at the Gu residence for four days, the Emperor and Empress Jiang had already fallen in love with this place, especially Empress Jiang. She had finally found the feeling of being a grandmother here, and she really wanted to willfully bring back all the grandchildren of the Gu family.
She was very interested in the things in the laboratory, the various fragrances, and the products that everyone had made and were currently researching.
She really wanted to give Gu Nian a group of skilled Palace maids but was afraid of scaring her.
The Emperor advised her to wait until next year when Gu shouxin entered the capital to take the examination, and find an opportunity to give it to these sisters.
An idea struck Empress Jiang,”Zhao ‘er, what do you think about me finding a shop for them and opening it when they enter the capital?” If you can give them a house that is closer to the palace, you can also find them to enter the palace.”
