Chapter 350 The Couple Returns to Lingwu Village
Another shadow guard nodded slightly, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes: "That's right, if it weren't for Sister Jin's idea, we wouldn't have seen Lord Zhang looking so amusing."
"Jin'er's idea is brilliant! Even the usually serious and rigid Lord Zhang has such an adorable side."
Long Yi's voice was filled with admiration, showing his deep respect for Dongfang Jin's ingenious ideas.
"Yes, Sister Jin is clever and mischievous. This move has broken the dull atmosphere in the court."
Shadow covered his mouth and chuckled, his eyes full of admiration for Dongfang Jin: "Who knows what other interesting ideas she'll come up with in the future?"
Long Yi looked at them and said, "There will be many more surprises to come."
Bricks, cement, concrete, oil mills, tofu workshops, newspapers, vegetable gardens, and tea gardens, etc...
The main focus is on Lingyun Pavilion's businesses, which are now expanding more and more...
The emperor nodded slightly, fell into deep thought, and after a moment said, "What you have all said concerns the rise and fall of the nation."
Accepting the Southern Qiang Kingdom presents both an opportunity and a challenge.
We must neither miss this golden opportunity to strengthen the nation, nor allow it to become a burden on the court.
Do any of you have specific solutions? Please speak frankly, and it would be best to come up with a perfect plan.
……
When things were going smoothly on Emperor Cang Lingyuan's side, he thought of Dongfang Jin.
He then summoned Dongfang Jin and Gu Chenglin to the palace to reward them for their contributions.
But Gu Yunxiao, who was rushing back to Long Yi, went to the palace to tell the emperor that his younger brother and sister-in-law had already returned to Lingwu Village.
Upon hearing this, Cang Lingyuan slammed his fist on the table in anger, muttering that Dongfang Jin was disloyal and Gu Chenglin was stingy.
This left Anshun's father-in-law and Gu Yunxiao both amused and exasperated.
Although Gu Yunxiao didn't know how her younger brother and sister-in-law left the capital, she saw the emperor like this.
Based on his understanding of the emperor, this matter was definitely not simple.
His younger brother.
He felt ashamed of himself for not being a worthy elder brother.
This reunion not only resolved his misunderstanding with the emperor, but also elevated their relationship to a new level.
With the help of his younger brother and sister-in-law, he also gained the emperor's favor.
What about my own home?
These days, coming home feels brighter, and there's more laughter and joy in the yard.
It's no longer as dull as it used to be.
The smile on his wife's face also had a touch of genuineness, no longer the kind that was deliberate and forced.
The faint sadness in her eyes was gone.
My brother is right. You should take good care of your own wife and children.
His mood was determined by the smile on his wife's face.
All of this is thanks to my younger brother and sister-in-law.
……
Dongfang Jin and Gu Chenglin returned to Lingwu Village via the teleportation bead in the Ruyi Realm.
The place we came out of was the greenhouse in the backyard.
There's no one here.
Gu Chenglin stretched and said, "Finally home. Home is the most comfortable place to be."
Dongfang Jin rolled her eyes at him: "I see you're having a pretty good time outside."
"Wife, you've wronged your husband. I've been working day and night these past few days, wishing I could finish everything in one day and come home to be with you."
"Grumpy."
"No, there isn't."
"Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival in May, do you want to eat zongzi (sticky rice dumplings)?"
Gu Chenglin asked indulgently, "Are you tired?"
"I'm not tired. There are many reeds growing by the lake behind Ruyijie Orchard. Ruyi will help me pick the reed leaves."
Your task is to buy more glutinous rice and dates.
"Okay, I promise to complete the task."
Dongfang Jin hugged Gu Chenglin's waist and said coquettishly, "I really want to sleep for three days and three nights right now."
Gu Chenglin lowered his head and asked softly, "Am I that amazing?"
Dongfang Jin glared at him, reached out and pinched his face, scolding, "Gu Chenglin! Throw away the garbage in your brain."
Her tone was full of helplessness regarding his being with her.
"Isn't that right?" Gu Chenglin blinked, a sly smile on his face, like a mischievous child deliberately trying to annoy someone.
"You..." Before Dongfang Jin could finish speaking, Gu Chenglin suddenly leaned closer, his warm breath instantly enveloping her.
Her heart skipped a beat, as if she had been gently gripped by an invisible hand, and her mind went blank for a moment.
Gu Chenglin gently stroked Dongfang Jin's cheek, his movements as tender as if he were touching a rare treasure.
Dongfang Jin felt a tingling sensation on her face, and her heart began to pound uncontrollably.
Then, his lips covered hers. Dongfang Jin was startled at first and subconsciously wanted to dodge, but deep in her heart there was a hint of expectation. This contradictory thought made her breathing quicken.
"You... um..."
Gu Chenglin's kiss was filled with endless affection, gently caressing her lips as if expressing the tender love that was usually difficult to put into words.
Dongfang Jin's hands instinctively gripped Gu Chenglin's sleeves, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.
Her mind went blank for a moment, all she knew was that she and the person in front of her were clinging to each other, and the whole world seemed to consist only of the two of them.
Gu Chenglin used his other hand to wrap around Dongfang Jin's waist and pull her into his arms. Their heartbeats mingled together, pounding as if they were about to burst out of their chests.
Dongfang Jin felt as if she were floating on clouds, both surprised and delighted. She was immersed in this sweetness, her eyes tightly closed, her eyelashes trembling, and her hands unconsciously wrapped around Gu Chenglin's neck.
The greenhouse was quiet and still, with only the sound of their increasingly rapid breathing creating an ambiguous yet sweet atmosphere.
The two lingered in the greenhouse for a while before coming out.
Dongfang Jin licked her still slightly uncomfortable lips and said irritably, "It's all your fault."
Gu Chenglin smiled indulgently and said, "Yes."
"Luckily I had the pills, otherwise I wouldn't be able to face anyone."
"Hehe, I won't do it again next time."
"You always say that, humph!"
"That's because you're so sweet, my dear wife."
"roll!"
When Gu Chenglin led Dongfang Jin into the inner courtyard, they saw his father-in-law, Prince Dun, chatting and drinking tea with County Magistrate Lu Yunqing.
How pleasant!
I listened as they talked about how to develop Ling'an County into a commercial county.
"Daddy, we're back!"
Dongfang Jin shook off Gu Chenglin's hand, quickly ran to Cang Nanxi's side, and hugged him from behind.
"Father, do you miss your daughter?"
Cang Nanxi patted Dongfang Jin's arm, which was wrapped around his neck, and said affectionately, "I miss what my precious daughter does every day."
"How was it? Your cousin didn't push you too hard, did he?"
Dongfang Jin shook her head: "No, I didn't even give him a chance to see me."
Yes, Dongfang Jin has been staying at the Rongguo Duke's Mansion every day these days and hasn't gone to see the Emperor.
They didn't even give them time to look at Fang Shiyu and his group of five.
She heard from Cangying that her eldest brother had left the capital and her second brother had gone to work in his place, so she didn't have time to look for him.
Seeing Gu Chenglin looking at the father and daughter with a jealous expression, Lu Yunqing smiled and waved, "Chenglin, we are discussing the business plan for Ling'an County."
"Come and listen, see if you can come up with any good ideas."
Gu Chenglin glanced at him, then bowed and cupped his hands to Cang Nanxi, saying, "Father."
Cang Nanxi is now very satisfied with this son-in-law: "Hmm, sit down. Yu Xuan has drafted some plans. You can give her your advice."
Lu Yunqing stood up, cupped his hands in greeting to Gu Chenglin, and said in a serious tone, "I would appreciate your guidance, Brother Gu."
Dongfang Jin...
What's wrong with this guy?
hypocritical.
Gu Chenglin...
This fox is sincere.
This is him showing off in front of his father-in-law.
You are capable.
Gu Chenglin didn't indulge him, remembering what his wife had told him before.
Now, he brought it up exactly as it was: "If Ling'an County wants to develop commerce, the first thing it needs to do is make good use of our geographical advantages."
Ling'an County is located at a major waterway and land route, facilitating convenient transportation of goods between the north and south.
Your plan to first repair the docks and official roads to make it easier for merchants to travel is indeed excellent.
He thought to himself, "These are all suggestions my wife gave me a long time ago."
He recognized the look in the guy's eyes; he was sincere.
