The flowering period works

Chapter 1045: A fox under the eaves has to bow its head!

    

laughter. 。"This child clearly loves to eat, they'll definitely grow up strong and healthy." 。"What a lucky child!"Jia Yin was pinched under her grandma's arm and bounced a few times on her leg, as i...Shuiling stressed the point with a grave expression, "I know, Your Grace didn't eat much at dinner. You must be preoccupied with many things."

Suiyun wanted to speak further, but saw a white shadow "whoosh" past.

Two people were startled. After they reacted, Shui Ling asked, "When did the three leave"

"Who knows, don't worry, it must have been the county princess who ordered it." Shuiyun couldn't help but laugh. "This lazybones, usually hides from sight, only the county princess can summon it."

In the side hall, Jia Yin rubbed Sanqiao's head and offered it two small dried fish as a reward.

Three little birds chirped for a while, then contentedly lay on the soft bed and started eating their small dried fish.

Jia Yin walked slowly on the ground, her brow furrowed tightly.

Having watched so many palace intrigue and court dramas in her past life, she had thought of herself as no longer a novice. But when reality struck, watching firsthand the twists and turns that involved many lives, even national upheavals, she couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

She was truly afraid, for if she made even a small mistake, she might become a butterfly flapping its wings, creating a hurricane somewhere and changing the original outcome.

Lastly, unable to do anything else, she wrote down all the information she knew and stuffed it into three dog collars.

I'm afraid I have to trouble Little Fox to make another trip and deliver it home, so that Second Uncle and the others can worry about it.

The little fox was quite against continuing to run errands. On a night like this, who wouldn't want to snuggle up in a soft bed and take a long nap

But the master brought out two fish cakes...

This fish cake is a specialty of Quanzhou. It's made from small fish that are ground into a paste and then mixed with sesame seeds, peanuts, and flour before being baked. The smell is delicious...

Okay, a fox under the eaves must lower its head for fish cakes!

Then, Shui Ling and Shui Yun listened to the noises outside the door subside a little, and couldn't help but doze off when they were startled awake by a white figure that darted out...

In the study of the Earl's mansion, it was stiflingly hot because the windows and doors were tightly closed.

Liu Zhiheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, took off his shirt, and then ate a large mouthful of chilled jade melon.

"It's so hot, I could die! Bring two more ice tubs! Otherwise, I'm a goner."

Lao Er Li and Mr. Wen were only wearing sleeveless jackets, shaking fans, drinking cold tea, and they didn't feel very hot at all.

Mr. Wen then said, "You should eat a lighter diet on a daily basis. Losing weight will make you feel less uncomfortable in the summer."

Old Li also laughed, "There are already four ice basins in the room. Adding more would be too cold. You're not feeling hot from the outside, you're feeling hot from the inside!"

Liu Zhiheng chomped down on the last mouthful of red watermelon flesh and tossed the rind aside, sighing, "Indeed, my heart is burning like fire, I'm truly scared! How could things be so chaotic when I'm just trying to live a normal life It's making me lose my appetite."

Both Li Laoer and Mr. Wen burst into laughter.

At dinnertime, Liu Ziheng came rushing in. He ate half a plate of braised pork, two bowls of rice, a large fish soup, and two dumplings...

Isn't this meal more enjoyable than that

If the meal is delicious, shouldn't we chew every piece of furniture and tableware until it's dry with a *crunch*...

Liu Zhiheng was laughed at by them, feeling a bit embarrassed. He quickly changed the subject.

My old man will just sit there with a stern face, sipping his tea. I can't stand it. Luckily, I came here with you all to wait for news. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'd be driven mad by boredom first.

As soon as the words left his mouth, the window was suddenly flung open with a bang, startling everyone.

When I finally calmed down and looked, I saw the little fox standing on the table. It was looking spirited and proud, raising its chin and showing off the collar around its neck.

"Hurry, hurry! Quickly see what message the county princess sent!" Liu Zhiheng excitedly jumped up directly, his excess flesh trembling three times.

Mr. Wen was truly blind, but I had no heart to laugh at him. I hurried to fetch the collar.

Only Li Lao Er cut the jade melon, cutting it into fingernail-sized pieces and putting it on a plate to give to the little fox to quench its thirst.

The little fox wagged its fluffy tail, rubbed against Lao Er Li's arm, then lowered its head to eat the jade melon.

After finishing the meal, even licking up all the melon juice, the little fox only then realized how quiet the house was.

It raised its little head and looked around. Li Lao'er, Mr. Wen, and Liu Ziheng all frowned, as still as stone sculptures, not moving or speaking a word.

The little fox was a bit anxious, it was still waiting for a reply, then it would go back to eat fish cakes!

"Chirp!" it nudged Li Lao'er's arm with its nose.

Li Lao'er woke up in a jolt, patted the little fox's head, then searched for paper and pen, and wrote a few sentences.

All I ask is that my niece take good care of herself and not worry about home. If there's any danger, put your own safety first.

The little fox happily shook its collar, then resignedly plunged back into the darkness.

Liu Zhiheng lay on the windowsill, taking several deep breaths of fresh air before resolutely shutting the window and lowering his voice.

"I thought the weather would change tomorrow, but it seems like we'll have to wait a few more days."

"Indeed, there's bound to be a bloody storm!" Li Lao Er also sighed.

Mr. Wen comforted, "Our family is the first to know the news and the most reliable. Now, preserving ourselves and not getting involved is the wisest choice. Otherwise, not to mention anything else, it would be disrespectful to the county princess's concern."

"Don't worry, I'll tell my grandfather tomorrow. Anyway, my grandfather is also 'recuperating', and continuing to shut himself off from visitors is the best course of action. Nobody should be able to get any information out of our family!" Liu Ziheng knew that Mr. Wen's words were more of a reminder to him, so he quickly assured him.

The three sat in silence, occasionally eating a piece of watermelon.

I didn't want to, but at this moment, thunder suddenly sounded outside the window.

Three people were surprised and quickly pushed open the window to see that it was actually raining in the sky.

The raindrops were large and heavy, pounding like beans being fried, on my palm.

Three people ran into the yard like the wind, laughing.

"Oh, it's raining."

"This is such great news!"

"The crops in the field are saved!"

It's a pity, perhaps it was just a joke played by heaven. The rain stopped after only a short while.

Li La Er's clothes were just soaked, and he couldn't help but lament, "Why did it stop This isn't enough!"

Mr. Wen also frowned, "I hope it rains a bit more outside."

Liu Zhiheng was in a hurry, "As soon as dawn breaks, I'll head out of the city to take a look. The experimental plot that I'm in charge of has been rotated for two seasons. Last winter's wheat harvest was good, but if this year's late-planted corn doesn't get irrigation, it will be a total loss."

Three people were talking, looking up at the sky. There was nothing they could do about it even if they were unhappy.

Who else can still grab the collar of heaven and ask it a few questions

There was some movement outside the mansion as well, apparently awakened by the earlier thunder and rain, people came out to celebrate in joy.

Farmers outside the city wept and beat drums or knelt in mourning.

Unfortunately, before the tears could hit the ground, the rain stopped.

Someone popular couldn't help but curse, yet didn't dare blame the heavens. They could only vent their frustration on their wife at home.

Before nightfall, didn't you peek at the overcast sky and rush to grab the firewood Fool, it's because of you that the rain was stolen!
