Allure of a Country Maiden

"The Sixth Prince is sincere to Xiaoer." Liu Lin was happy when she saw the interaction between the Sixth Prince and her granddaughter.

On the second day after their family came to the imperial capital, Shangguan Xuanyi took the time to visit them with many gifts and paid a special visit to them.

It was because he cared about his granddaughter that he treated them as elders and relatives. Otherwise, why would a prince need to be so condescending? Even if he did nothing, no one would think he was wrong.

Besides, I came to look for my granddaughter today, and after waiting for a long time, she showed no signs of temper. I couldn't find such a man even with a lantern.

If a man is sincere to a woman, she can still tell.

She has suffered all her life from her husband not loving her, and now she is relieved to see that her daughter and granddaughter have found people who treat each other sincerely.

"That girl Xiao'er is a lucky one." Mrs. Liu nodded after hearing this. She could see the kindness of the sixth prince to her daughter, and her daughter was lucky to meet such a good man.

"That's right, we are all able to live such a good life because of her blessing." Mrs. Liu Lin sighed.

"My mother is a blessed person."

Ms. Liu chatted with Ms. Liu Lin for a while and then returned to the study. Their family had family time for an hour every night.

After Xiaoer sent Shangguan Xuanyi out of the second door, she also returned to the study. As usual, the family would still stay here every night to deal with and discuss some matters.

In the past, Shen Chengyao and Mr. Liu had to learn from the children, but now they have learned everything they should learn, and this time has become a time for discussion.

Xiaoer told about her encounter with Du Yijin.

"I heard from my classmates in the academy that the woman Du married later was a person who only cared about her mother's family. Her mother's family was in decline, and her younger brother was a gambler. In the early years, except for the ancestral home, everything that could be sold was sold. These days She has relied on her married daughter to support her life. Mrs. Du is the eldest sister. She feels that her eldest sister is like a mother. She feels that it is her unshirkable responsibility to take care of her younger brother and her natal family. After marrying Mr. Du, she spent most of the Du family's property in a few years. He used it to fill the hole in his parents' family. Mr. Du is a relatively noble person. Although he is an official in the Ministry of Punishment, a place where there is more money and wealth, his salary for a year is really not enough, so his life has gone from bad to worse." Jingrui placed him there. The news that the academy heard was spoken out.

"When you encounter a stepmother like this who has to rely on her embroidery work to support the family, Miss Du is also pitiful." Mrs. Liu sighed.

"No, your natal family should indeed help, but you shouldn't use your husband's money to pay off gambling debts again and again. This is not helping, this is aiding the evildoers! Such a natal family is a bottomless pit, and even if you help your own family, you won't have anything to take out. When you go to help, how can you help?! You are simply harming others and yourself!" Yun'er said angrily.

"You really have to pay attention to methods when helping others, otherwise you will harm others and yourself." Jingrui agreed.

"You should teach people to fish instead of giving them fish!" Mrs. Liu remembered that her parents' family used to be very poor, so Xiaoer's method was very good, so that everyone made money.

"Xiao'er, what do you want to cooperate with Miss Du?" Shen Chengyao didn't express any opinion on Mr. Du's step-in-law. He asked about business.

After everyone heard this, they all looked at Xiaoer.

"Didn't I say before that I was interested in the unowned sloping land on the east side of the city?"

The land on the outskirts of the city is undulating and uneven. It can be easily cultivated to grow anything.

And because the area is so large, it is impossible to move it to flat land, so no one is willing to cultivate it.

"It's too difficult to reclaim that land." Shen Chengyao shook his head.

"I don't want to clear it to grow food."

"Does sister want to build a house?" Jing Hao asked after hearing this.

"It's true that we're going to build a house."

"The land is undulating. Even if it is leveled, the newly filled soil in the sunken areas will take three or four years to sink. The foundation can only be dug when the soil is solid, otherwise the foundation of the house will be unstable." Shen Chengyao listened. He shook his head at this.

"I'm not building a house for people to live in. There's no need to fill it in." Xiaoer shook her head.

"If you don't build a house for people to live in, what kind of house should you build?" Mrs. Liu asked strangely. Suddenly she thought of something and felt bad all over.

"Build a house for animals to live in. What I want to build is a zoo." Seeing Liu's behavior, Xiaoer knew that she was wrong and said quickly.

zoo? Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought Xiaoer would do any kind of work in order to make money.

"Zoo? Sister, what is a zoo?" Xi'er asked curiously.

"It is a place where various animals are raised for people to watch and carry out science popularization and conservation education. I want to open a zoo, so that children can go to the zoo to learn about many animals that they are difficult to see. That piece of land is empty It’s too wasteful to buy it and build a zoo. The initial investment will be a lot of money, but the return on investment will be quick.”

"Xiao'er will tell you the specific plan." Shen Chengyao became interested after hearing this.

Xiaoer then stated her thoughts clearly.

"The child's father, if this thing comes to pass, I'm afraid there will be another reward from the emperor." Liu's political sensitivity has also become higher now.

"It's not for the emperor's reward." Shen Chengyao shook his head.

He just wants to be a good official, one who can do more practical things for the people.

During the construction process and after the zoo is completed, there will be many more job opportunities, and many people will have an extra livelihood.

You can make money for your own family and do more practical things for the people, so why not do it!

"Yes, the most important thing is to make a lot of money. Think about it. After the zoo is built, there will definitely be many people visiting it every day. There will also be many people from the prefectures and counties close to the imperial capital. Then our wallets will be full. Will it make a ding-dong-ding-dong sound?" Yun'er was excited when she thought of the copper plates falling into the money bag one by one.

Shen Chengyao:......

The second daughter's thoughts are still not on the same line as mine.

"Isn't the animal difficult to catch?" Jing Hao asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, it's just hard to catch, it's not impossible to catch!" There are many animals in her space, and the animals in the space are relatively spiritual. If it weren't for her having this condition, she wouldn't have proposed this seemingly Impossible, something shocking!

"Those animals are difficult to raise, aren't they? We have never raised them before. What if they die?" After listening to Jing Hao's words, Liu also thought of an important question.

"There are always people who will raise them. It's just about those tigers, lions and other wild beasts. It's better not to keep them, right? How dangerous it is!" If you invite people to catch these wild beasts, you will definitely need to hire many people, and you will also have to pay a lot of money. willing to go.

Besides, these beasts eat meat. How much money does it cost to raise them every day to buy meat for them? Wouldn't this be too much of a loss? Yun'er thought.

"These are not problems, the problem is to build the zoo." Xiaoer said confidently.
