Chapter 744: Hit by a Pie, A Little Confused!

g again, "Go home and prepare to receive guests. It's estimated that the Jia family will come to express their gratitude tomorrow."Tao Hongying nodded with a smile: "Good, the Jia family looks alright...And Feng Gong also got his wish and went to Suijintan for a trip, giving Jia Yin the lease agreement for the branch of the snack shop.

Jia Yin just came back from the city and suddenly got a shop, it was like winning the lottery, leaving her completely dumbfounded.

Then, Master Feng sat in the warm room, eating grapes and watching the little eunuchs "shearing sheep" when Jia Yin quickly asked for the reason.

Lord Feng also deserved the bunch of dark purple grapes in his hand. As he ate, he told the story of how the Third Princess was terrified half to death and then repented instantly, growing up in an instant.

Finally, he also said: "My lady, this shop was given to you by the princess who requested it from the emperor."

"The Third Princess said, Bao Lei is dead, and this shop belongs to the County Princess now. She considers their grudge settled with the County Princess."

Jia Yin really wanted to roll her eyes. The third princess's words made it sound like Bao Lei being beheaded was her doing.

Although she played a catalytic role in the middle, fundamentally it was the Crown Princess's family who brought this upon themselves...

However, it's a good thing that the Third Princess won't cause trouble anymore.

For this, Jiayin personally picked a basket of colorful fruits for her and carefully wove many flowers around the rim of the basket. It was beautifully decorated, so she asked Feng Gonggong to take it back.

Even though she's just a minor princess, she has to accept the olive branch with a smile since others call her a princess.

Besides, this fruit basket is not only for the third princess, but also for the emperor and empress to see.

As expected, Feng Gonggong brought the gathered "wool" back to the imperial study. The Emperor then asked about it in detail.

It is said that Jia Yin personally prepared a fruit basket for the princess. The two little girls reconciled, and the emperor was also pleased.

Just coincidentally, someone from the south presented a batch of brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones. With a generous wave of his hand, the emperor bestowed upon Jia Yin this good little girl, a box full!

Today, Jia Yin was inexplicably making a fortune one after another.

Therefore, when the Marquis returned in the evening, she was the first to rush out and report the good news.

The Lord was afraid that the smell of blood on him would startle the people at home, so he just took a bath and changed his clothes. His hair was still damp from the water.

Jia Yin quickly pulled her foster father to sit by the fire.

Just then, Li Lao Si also returned from the Hot Spring Valley. The newly melted snow had soaked through his cotton shoes.

So, Jiayin dragged her own father over as well and had him sit beside the Marquis.

The imposing marquis and generals, who usually command respect and awe, were now behaving like well-behaved children sitting in a line, eagerly awaiting treats before the young housemaid's daughter.

Li Laotai, Li Laoer and Tao Hongying and others found it amusing.

Old Lady Li has always doted on her granddaughter without any reservations. As soon as she opened her mouth, she praised, “Our Funiu is just filial. She can't bear to see her father and stepfather suffer even a little.”

Jia Yin ran over and gave her grandma a big hug, then she hurried to serve her two fathers each a bowl of hot tea.

After finishing her work, she proudly showed off her newly acquired shop and writing supplies.

Li Lao Si heard the location of that shop and secretly drew a cold breath.

His military pay would probably take several years to save up even for half a house. When he goes on another campaign, he should try his best to kill barbarians and collect as much loot as possible!

Otherwise, this father of his is really going to rely on his daughter for support in his old age.

The Marquis was not surprised, because when he entered the palace in the afternoon, the Emperor had already told him.

Jia Yin smiled, her eyes like crescent moons, and said, "My mother is just about to open a pickle shop. I think this location would be perfect for a branch."

"The last one I saw wasn't bad, but unfortunately it was snatched up at the last minute. This time, it's my own shop, so I can do whatever I want!"

She then called her mother over and asked with a smile, "Mother, I'll take care of the stall, you provide the recipe, and we'll split the profits equally. How does that sound"

Tao Hongying glared at her daughter with a playful frown and scolded, “Little spendthrift, you’re even clearer than your mother about this.”

"Alright, let's go into town tomorrow to have a look at the shops and then decide."

Old Li also agreed, supporting her granddaughter, "Fu Niuer is right. Even close brothers should settle accounts clearly, and you two as mother and daughter should be clear about it too."

At this time, the lord called out to the personal guards outside and brought in a fat man.

This fat man is the one who had atoned for his crimes earlier, whose name was Wang Fugui.

Unfortunately, the mother he longed to save was secretly imprisoned by those in Yaochi and died after only a few days.

Wang Fugui was heartbroken and desperate. He barely ate or slept these days, and everyone who saw him felt sorry for him.

The lord had previously promised to help him save his mother, but now that he failed, he felt a bit guilty.

After thoroughly investigating Wang Fugui's background, he reported to the Emperor his intention to settle Wang Fugui in Ercun Village and allow him to continue working as a cook.

The veteran and wounded soldiers from Ercun village, they usually ate in a communal kitchen.

The cooks are all village women, the food is definitely edible, but it's not delicious.

Today, there is a cook who also provides benefits to veterans and wounded soldiers.

The person behind Yaochi hasn't been found yet.

Today's beheading is the beheading, and today's assignment to hard labor is the assignment to hard labor.

Only Wang Fugui, who is considered a "traitor," was left behind. If the people behind him get angry later and come to seek revenge, they can take this opportunity to seize some handles and clues.

Wang Fugui looked very haggard, he had lost a lot of weight and was quite thin. However, one could tell that his eyes were clear and honest, not like those of a truly wicked person.

Then, Li's family comforted him with a few words and finally sent him to Ercun village by his personal guards, entrusting Xiaocui and her husband to take care of him.

After that, Wang Fugui's wages were recorded in the Hou Mansion's accounts.

But whenever there were festivals or holidays, he would always receive a share of any food items distributed by the two villages…

Soon, dinner was served and everyone gathered around to eat.

When Li Lao Tai inquired about the events of the day, she said: “I heard that a small box of that Fuhong Cream costs one hundred taels of gold. Today they burned several large boxes, worth at least hundreds of thousands of taels, right”

"If only these gold coins could be exchanged, they would be enough to support the campaign to retake Jiangbei."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Li Laoer also chimed in, “Indeed, several hundred thousand taels would be enough to settle tens of thousands of refugees.”

After a sleepless night, the next morning, Chen Chuan and Elder Master Chen finished their household chores and, with their family in tow, returned to continue their arduous labor without even a moment's rest.

I don't know what they went through after they left, but it was obvious they were working harder, with less resentment and indifference than before.

The villagers saw this and though they were curious, they didn't ask any questions.

People should be responsible for their own mistakes!

February 2nd, roast pig's head, eat pork knuckles.

After their bellies were full of oily food, every household officially began to bustle with activity for spring.

Wenjuan's due date is within the next two weeks, so her family has been busy preparing the delivery room and gathering supplies.

Li Zhensheng took complete control of Xiankele, and Jia Huan would come back home every evening.

Zhao Yuru had also moved back from Lu'an, preparing to welcome her grandson and take care of her daughter-in-law during her confinement.

Li Lao Si also wanted to take another look at his great-grandson's little face before leaving, but unfortunately, things were getting busy at the military camp.

Moreover, Li Yong has been steadfast for almost a month now. He needs to rush over to relieve him and let Li Yong return home for a few days, otherwise the twins won't even recognize their own father...

As soon as Lao Si Li left, Jia Ren came back from Los Angeles.

Mr. Wen has already been to the Academy and personally requested from Dean Zhou that Jiaren be granted permission for leave study.

The Dean is very optimistic about Jia Ren and has a good understanding of his studies, so he naturally supports him in developing further.

Even after all this, Jia Ren will still have to return to the academy to prepare for the Juren exam. The honor due to him from the academy will definitely not be lacking!

But when Jia Ren went home to accompany his grandmother and family for a meal, he suggested that he wanted to live in the small courtyard in the city permanently afterward. Tai Tai, as if she had grasped a lifeline, grabbed her grandson's hand and cried out, "You have to listen! I'm so angry I could die! Those black-hearted scoundrels from the Feng family have actually...
