he pay!But the only regret is that although this courtyard is called Baihua Garden, there isn't a single flower now...Mr. Wen and Old Mrs. Li walked around for a while, were very satisfied with the sm...When Old Li saw his niece's face was pale, he thought she was scared and quickly comforted her. 。"Little Fu, don't be afraid. Our family won't get involved in this. We'll stay out of it and avoid any trouble." 。It's you who should be careful, living in the palace. 。"This isn't an emergency message, and please don't deliver it home. Be careful not to get caught!"
Jia Yin nodded blankly, reluctantly withdrawing her thoughts, and said in the same tone, "Uncle Two, you must remember..." 。Whoever nominates the second prince as crown prince, you must not interfere. Just follow what Grand Uncle has decreed. 。"Besides, Duke Dingbei is a despicable person. Once he clings to the emperor's side, I fear he will seek revenge on our family and Mr. Wen." 。It's still important to prepare in advance at home and take precautions. 。" Mr. Li and Mr. Wen both nodded 。Mr. Wen also said, "Several years ago, I had been prepared for him to use underhanded tactics behind my back, so I have always been collecting evidence of his crimes." 。If he is well and safe, that’s fine. But if he dares to have any ill intentions, he will surely suffer the consequences. 。Once a betrayal, never trust again. 。Even if he betrayed the empress's camp and switched to the emperor's side, this treacherous and unrighteous person would not be trusted or favored by the emperor. 。" Jia Yin also knew this truth, so she finally felt relieved. 。After some casual chatter, Jiayin went back to sleep. 。The next morning, she changed into a coarse linen dress and followed the village head to the fields for a walk. 。This year's drought has led to a significant decrease in crop yield, which is already a foregone conclusion. 。
No one can control fate, so we can only do our best.
Fortunately, the villagers were hardworking and hired a lot of day laborers from nearby. 。A bullock cart hauled buckets of water to the field, and then manpower carried them into the fields, pouring scoop by scoop of water onto the melon seedlings' roots. It was truly hard work. 。Jia Yin instructed the village head, "Don't be stingy with the wages, and provide another lunch at noon." 。“Don't worry, Princess,” the village head replied quickly. 。The pay here is a bit higher than other places, and the lunch is also one meat dish and one vegetarian dish, so it's not bad. 。"The weather this year has not been good, and I'm afraid there won't be much harvest in the fields by autumn. We can only rely on earning some wages to make ends meet." 。"We've also come from humble beginnings, how could we possibly mistreat others!"
Jia Yin felt reassured and looked up at the blinding sunlight, feeling a little worried as well. 。"For how many years has there been good weather, and this year it's a drought!" The village head was open-minded, fanned himself with his straw hat, and smiled, "It's normal for the heavens to act up like this, one good year followed by another." 。We have been blessed with good weather and harvests for many years. We should not be greedy. 。Besides, the grain collected from the Hot Spring Valley is enough for our village to last for three years. So there's no need to worry, Your Highness. 。"Well, it's fine if the village head has some plans in mind. " 。Our family can't currently live in the village permanently, so we have to rely on you, Village Head, to take care of village affairs both inside and outside. 。"Jia Yin respectfully greeted the village chief with sincerity, causing him to quickly help her up." 。“Whatever the county lord says, this is our home too, everyone’s home! Who wouldn’t care about their own affairs It’s only right!” The village head’s wrinkles were much deeper than before, and his face was tanned a bronze color, but his smile was still as bright. 。Jia Yin didn't make any further polite gestures and instructed, "At the pharmacy, I had people brew several jars of medicinal wine. Remember to pick some up on your way home." 。You and Grandpa Zhao each have a jar, and every night you drink a cup, which can relieve boredom and ailments. 。“ Well,” said the village head, delighted, “This is excellent stuff. Thank you, Princess.” 。The old and young chatted for a few more words, Jia Yin then went back to the old house, changed her clothes, and got ready to return to the city. 。Waner finished dealing with some trivial matters because there was a wedding in the village tomorrow, and she had been asked to stay and be the hostess. Therefore, she couldn't return to the city with her younger sister. 。Then she instructed, "Sister, Father and Mr. Wen left in such a hurry just now that they forgot two boxes of things. They were entrusted to the carriage team by the Lu family to be brought back..." 。"If you're on your way, could you please deliver this to Young Master Lu"
Jia Yin hesitated for a moment. With all her brothers away from home, she really had no one else to help her.
"Alright, sister-in-law, let people load the car. After I get into town, I'll go by Lu's house." 。Soon, everything was packed. Jia Yin hugged her chubby nephew goodbye and got into the car. 。In the new capital, at the Lu residence, steward Lu Feng was speaking with the young master. 。"Young Master, should we just let those rumors outside spread like this Should I send people to take care of them" Lu Zong shook his head and gestured for the steward to sit down. 。Though the steward is now in charge of all matters within the manor, his actual rank is rather low. He is actually a distant cousin from a side branch of the family. 。"Sixth brother, don't worry, I have my own plan for this." 。Just take care of the affairs at home, and don't worry about anything else. 。"Lu Zhong raised his hand and poured a cup of tea for the butler, casually asking, "Has there been any news from home"
"No, Young Master," 。Calculating the days, it's Li family's caravan that will be returning soon. Perhaps the family will entrust Li family to bring letters. 。"
The steward just responded when a young servant at the gate ran to report, "Young Master, Princess Kangle sent someone to inform us that she will be coming to visit in a princess's carriage shortly." >>> 。"
County Master!
Lu Zhong suddenly stood up, took two quick steps outside, then quickly turned back and told the personal attendant to find him a new robe >>> " 。As a result, the servant girl brought his clothes. He changed his mind again, “No, I don’t need to change. These past few days I’ve been plagued by rumors, I should appear more down-at-heels. Dressing neatly would seem insincere.” 。"Having said that, he instructed the steward again, “Hurry up and prepare some tea and snacks. The tea should be light in flavor, and the snacks should be from our Southwest region…”However, the steward seemed not to have heard him at all. Instead, he drove away the footman and maidservant 。 When only the two of them were left in the room, the steward bowed his head and said, “Young Master, the visitor is Princess Kangle, not the Third Princess! You can’t…” Lu Zong froze in place, the light in his eyes dimming little by little. 。After a long silence, he finally replied, "Understood. You may leave now." 。The Steward retreated and shut the door firmly, then stood guard outside...The Third Princess's carriage was bestowed by the Emperor last year. Not only was it a double-horse drawn carriage, but the carriage interior was also very lavishly decorated. Every time it passed, it attracted quite a bit of attention. 。Jia Yin sat in the carriage, occasionally stopping to listen to the lively chatter of passersby outside. She then made up her mind not to get out of the carriage. 。When they arrived at the Lu family gate, soon afterwards, Lu Zong came out to greet them. 。Jia Yin opened the window and waved to him, calling out in a low voice, "Brother Lu, come forward and talk!" Lu Zong glanced at the idle people in the distance, guessing what was going on. He went down the steps and walked forward with a smile, saying, "Why did Princess Jia Yin come here And you even took the royal carriage"Jia Yin sighed and shrugged helplessly, "Don't mention it, it's a long story..." 。"
Lu Zong couldn't help but laugh and suggested, "How about we go in for a cup of tea"
"No, Brother Lu," 。A soldier pointed to the old veteran carrying boxes from behind a vehicle and said, “The convoy that took my brother to the southwest has returned. Your family sent two boxes for you.” 。My brothers are all out, so I'm the only one who can help deliver this. 。"Wow, your convoy is really impressive! You guys traveled such a long distance and came back so quickly!" Lu Cong was amazed, his face full of surprise and delight as he praised. 。Two updates today~~inally, the military camp was put under martial law. Chen He lost his access to Fuhong ointment and died suddenly on the parade ground."And this Chang Sui is the one who helped Chen Lao Er deliver the...
