Chapter 555: Master Leads the Way, Learning is Up to the Ind
new about this, it was also a secret between him and the little girl!That said, in the little girl's heart, isn't he more trustworthy than her own father!Young Master Ye suddenly felt inexplicably sup...Naturally, some people would run to the imperial kitchen to deliver messages. The chief eunuch stood at the door himself, personally attending to the Emperor and the Marquis. He truly wouldn't dare entrust this to those unreliable little eunuchs!
The Emperor and the Marquis continued discussing business until dinner was served.
The lord finished the three bites and, seeing that it was time for the palace to close, took his leave.
The emperor pondered for a moment, then signaled the chief eunuch to see him off.
The Eunuch Supervisor understood, and with a smile, he led the Marquis towards the palace gate.
The Marquis casually chatted with the chief eunuch, asking: "I've been away from Jiangnan for several months now. How is Suijin Tan doing"
"Shouldn't the Jade Gourd be ready for harvest Has it been presented to the Emperor yet"
The eunuch in charge smiled awkwardly and replied, "Rest assured, Your Lordship, Suijinchuan is doing well. A few days ago, Mr. Li and the County Princess came to the palace with the village head to offer melons."
The Emperor favored the Princess very much, so he presented her with the prepared birthday gifts in advance. The Empress also chose a lot of fabrics and jewelry to send to Suijintan.
"Did you already present the birthday gift for the County Princess" The Marquis immediately caught the key point in the eunuch's words and asked, "Why give it early"
The eunuch in charge, Gan Xiao, felt uneasy but still said with a stiff face: "That, the County Princess and the Third Princess played for a while, it wasn't very pleasant. The Empress was anxious and made the County Princess suffer a bit of grievance."
The Emperor was heartbroken, so he gave the County Princess her birthday presents in advance. However, the County Princess was overjoyed, changed into a new dress, and put on new jewelry before leaving the palace.
The Marquis replied with a nonchalant expression, but said nothing more.
This made the eunuch supervisor even more uneasy...
The Emperor had finally waited for the head eunuch to return, and asked, "Did your cousin ask you anything"
The Eunuch Supervisor bowed and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. The Marquis inquired whether the Li family had come to offer tribute melons. The old servant said that the county princess had also arrived and that you had bestowed birthday gifts in advance."
"The Lord Marquis is indeed astute, to inquire as to the reason for the early bestowal of gifts. This old servant would say that Lady Jun and Princess did not play together very happily, and Lady Jun suffered a slight grievance..."
The Emperor's face was rarely so grave. He sighed, "My cousin is the most vengeful. He'll definitely remain calm and composed, then devise a plan before striking."
"Back then, I was an unfavored prince. Once, I was pushed into a lotus pond. My cousin found out and deliberately designed to strip the culprit naked and throw him in. It was still winter at that time, and the man almost froze to death. Now, he treats Fu Niuer like his apple of his eye. This matter is afraid it can't be resolved peacefully…"
The Eunuch Grand Chamberlain, hearing this, realized the Emperor was not angry with the Marquis of Xinting, instead there was a hint of indulgence in his tone. Emboldened, he tentatively probed, "Your Majesty, please do not worry, the Marquis will not hold a grudge against the Third Princess, such a child."
The implication is that the marquis will vent his anger on behalf of the county princess, targeting only the empress and the Wu family...
The emperor's eyes lit up, and he smiled.
The third princess is his biological daughter, no matter how foolish she is, he cannot protect her.
But the Empress and the Wu family, his patience was about to run out. Someone came forward to smooth things over just right!
"Get ready for a water bath!"
The Emperor had seen the light, and was no longer worried. He would do what he needed to do.
Xincun, Li's courtyard.
Jia Yin was also quite perceptive. She didn't disturb her parents' reunion, going back to her room early and saying she was going to bed. In reality, as soon as she entered the space, she switched into study mode.
For a time, she visited Zhang Shini's clinic frequently. The old man was a skilled doctor, but not a good teacher.
He gave her a little bit of this and that, teaching her many things, but it was all too haphazard.
Fortunately, the old man was preoccupied with concocting some bizarre new formula lately. He didn't want her around to get accidentally injured, so he gave her a medical book, hoping to keep her occupied for a while and also as a test of sorts.
So, Jia Yin decided to memorize the medical books as quickly as possible. She would learn everything she could on her own so that the old man would be amazed and no longer treat her like an ordinary child.
For the strong, the weak may certainly evoke sympathy, but to get them to divulge their knowledge freely is another matter.
Jia Yin intends to use this medical book as a stepping stone, to thoroughly open the "door" to Zhang Shenyi's medical skills!
In addition, Jia Yin must also find time to read and practice calligraphy, and learn Tian Wu's common accounting methods so that she can understand the account books.
Even abacus lessons she had learned in her childhood were brought out again, and she kept studying and practicing by herself.
Children haven't cultivated their nature. After learning the introductory class in a past life, they were abandoned.
Luckily, she bought both the intermediate and advanced textbooks, otherwise she would be kicking herself now...
Occasionally, when studying gets tiring, Jiayin still jumps rope to try and improve her stamina. She hopes that her round little body can be more nimble.
Of course, it is hoped that it will be good, but whether it can be realized or not is unknown...
So, to outsiders, she appeared as lazy and gluttonous as ever, showing little difference from her past self.
In fact, in the secluded courtyard unknown to others, she had already proactively curled herself up.
To outsiders, it was just an ordinary night. However, Jia Yin had a fulfilling evening. After a good night's sleep, she went out to see the bright daylight.
Li Laosì slept soundly through the night, feeling refreshed and invigorated. After breakfast, he set out with the soldiers from the neighboring village, strolling around both inside and outside their village.
The village head happened to meet them, so he led a group of people to the melon field.
Earlier, large quantities of jade cucumbers and golden fruits had already been sold out.
But the village head, in springtime, purposely left a few plots of land, delaying planting for half a month and then planted over a hundred gourd seedlings.
It was originally prepared for the Marquis and they missed the opening ceremony. When they returned, there were still melons to eat.
I didn't expect it to come in handy today!
Seven or eight round jade gourds were picked and directly chopped open with an axe.
The soldiers each held a piece, devouring it with gusto, all of them delirious with happiness.
"This is the Biyu Gua, I heard the Emperor likes to eat it!"
"Wow, this is so sweet and refreshing... Li Yong always brags about it, I thought he was lying, but it's actually true!"
"They say one melon can be traded for a silver ingot! How much silver have we spent!"
"Don't want to eat it Give it to me, I haven't had enough yet!"
The soldiers ate and joked, occasionally roughhousing, but each held their watermelon tightly in hand. Not a drop of juice spilled, let alone onto the ground.
Some people even ate the watermelon rind, crunching and munching it up!
The village head puffed on his pipe, smiling at the men's boisterous laughter. His wrinkles gathered into a flower-like pattern on his face, as if he were seeing himself in his younger days.
Seeing soldiers eating melon rind, he quickly stopped them, "Don't eat that, little brother. There are still melons left. I'll pick some more for you."
"No, it's alright, sir!" Though they might seem rough and tumble, the soldiers were surprisingly perceptive. They all waved their hands in refusal.
Someone said, “Uncle, let's just eat the fresh stuff. We can leave the rest for the Marquis! I reckon he'll be back around noon.”
The village chief relented and led the soldiers to the orchard to play.
Li Laosi took the opportunity to go back home and said to his mother, "Mother, Wei Daniu is going home to get married. I want to go with my brothers to make a lively celebration. Can you prepare a gift for me"
"This kid is a fool, fearless and loyal. This expedition, he saved me, or I might have come back injured..."
Three more chapters are offered. care for her these past few months, she wants to be your bridesmaid."Come on, just agree! I'm waiting to drink your wedding wine at the Li family!"Sun Lao Ye was stunned for a long time, his eyes tur...
