Chapter 1191: The Rescuing Nine-Tailed Fox!
you were going to become a monk! I cried until my eyes were blind! And now you’re living the good life here, acting like someone’s son! Don’t you have any shame Any consideration for our family”Mrs. Y...It was Zhao Shu who, like a few jokes, persuaded these old friends.
"You lot are so lazy, don't come crying to me later. We're going south, where the fish in the sea are bigger than houses! I'm itching to see them, even if I meet the King of Hell afterwards, I wouldn't regret it."
"That's right, I want to go out to sea and see what those yellow-haired people live like."
"The Fourth Young Master said there's a wine made from grapes overseas that is very famous. I want to try it too, it definitely can't be as delicious as the County Princess's wine!"
Their words turned the somewhat melancholy farewell into a lively affair...
The village head sighed softly, writing and drawing on the roster of names.
At this time, Granny Lin and the other maidservants also arrived.
Grandma Lin took the lead and said, "Village Head, please tell the County Princess and Madam that we don't want to go south. We'll stay here and take care of the old manor and the County Princess's mansion, keeping everything clean and tidy every day, waiting for our masters to return."
This was beyond the village head's expectation, after all, the little maidservants were not very old.
He pondered for a moment before replying, "Let me ask the county princess and the old mistress. They probably wouldn't want you to stay here enduring hardship."
Grandma Lin smiled in response.
When the sky darkened, Count's Mansion was illuminated by lanterns throughout the courtyard.
Lao Tai Li and Lao Er Li, along with their children Jia Yi, Jia An, and Jia Yin, sat together in a circle.
Old Mrs. Li saw that there was a dish of braised pork and bean sprouts on the table, and instructed, "Liu Yang won't be back from the ship, Jia Yi, remember to bring him a plate when you go, that child loves this dish."
"Understood, Grandma," Jiayi mumbled with a mouthful of sweet food. "My little sister remembered long ago and cooked an extra portion in the pot."
Jia Yin added smoothly, "I had Bai Yun make a lot of ice cream. It's probably delivered to the boat by now."
Although Baiyun Restaurant hasn't opened yet, Chen Xi and others haven't been idle. They spend their days brainstorming new dishes, and the front and back of the shop are spotless.
They were so delighted with this little task, they worked their butts off all day long! They just had to let their southern brothers taste their culinary skills!
Li Lao'er asked, "How many of these shops' staff followed south"
Jia Yin replied, "For secrecy, I only asked Chen Xi and Peng Zhanggui and other master craftsmen in charge. Just as we guessed, everyone planned to stay behind to protect the family business. Chen Xi was even more resolute, he didn't want people to forget Baiyun Guan's name!"
Everyone couldn't help but sigh.
Although Li Jia Tong had a falling out with someone in the palace and had to retreat south, these servants were incredibly loyal.
They were not considering their future prospects and safety, this desire to stay was purely out of loyalty to their master and the protection of his estate.
As they were talking, the village head finally returned.
Everyone quickly invited him to take a seat. The village head was not polite and, after eating his fill, took out a book and gave it to Jia Yin.
After asking in detail, Jia Yin also frowned. The number of people left behind was unexpected.
For over a decade, the residents of Suijin Tan have made it their home, a place they can't imagine leaving.
She pondered for a moment, then could only say, "Perhaps it's best to respect everyone's wishes. I will ask the princess and prince to take good care of things."
After the dinner table was cleared, Jia Yi returned to his sea vessel, and everyone dispersed.
Because I'm going south soon, I need to gather my important belongings in advance.
Jia Yin took a bath and sat by the window, combing her long hair with an ivory comb.
The night wind was a touch cooler than the day, and there wasn't a single star in the sky. The golden full moon looked as if it were within reach.
Jiayin was playfully trying to pluck the moon from the sky, but when she reached out, the moon didn't come down. Instead, a little fox suddenly jumped into her arms.
"Three!" Jia Yin exclaimed in surprise. She had originally planned to look for the little fox tomorrow, but she didn't expect it to return on its own.
The little fox had a little green snake in its mouth, and now it spat it onto the table. The green snake was forced to take a high-speed train, its eyes still drawing circles like mosquito coils.
The little fox twitched its tiny nose, sniffing the scent of its master, chirping happily.
Jia Yin closed the window, then directly hugged the little fox and scooped up the little green snake into the space.
The familiar environment made the little fox even more excited.
As for the little green snake, it went completely mad!
Oh, this is heaven compared to wandering in the grass patches of the palace!
Although I was hungry for most of the time, there was no need to worry about being caught and skinned alive, or having to hide all the time!
Jia Yin ignored the two little ones, letting them move freely for a while.
She entered the room and spread out paper and pen to begin writing a letter.
The list of departures and arrivals has been finalized, it's time to make arrangements.
The villagers of Suijin Beach, as well as the orchards and fields, including the ancestral home and the princess mansion, were all entrusted to the care of the Third Princess. All produce from these lands belonged to her, serving as compensation for her hard work.
The Earl's mansion in the city was also among them. With plenty of staff to take care of everything, the princess only occasionally went for a stroll around the place.
Among the clouds has always been the princess's favorite, of course it should be reserved for her.
The remaining hot pot restaurants, fruit and vegetable shops, Xianke Lai, even Baihuayuan and condiment shops were all entrusted to the prince.
Firstly, he, the former manager, was familiar with all these businesses.
Furthermore, these businesses were incredibly profitable, and only with him, the future emperor, protecting them, did no one dare to covet them.
As for the Hou Mansion, the head steward is also going south with them. He has served the Marquis his entire life, and wherever the Marquis goes, he will follow.
The Hou residence's assets in Xindu were not many, and they had been sold for cash recently.
The rest of the industries are located elsewhere. Originally, this was done for the convenience of gathering information from all over the place. Now it seems like a very wise decision...
After finishing the letter and organizing the contracts for several shops, each placed in its own box, Jia Yin had also accomplished a major task.
At this time, the little fox and the green snake had played enough, eaten their fill, and came over.
The little green snake had stolen and eaten the chicken egg, its belly full it lay sprawled on the table, lazily refusing to lift its head.
On the other hand, the little fox hadn't forgotten its task and began to chatter excitedly, reporting.
Jia Yin stroked its soft fur gently while listening carefully, occasionally giving a few instructions until the little fox nodded continuously...
At midnight, the entire palace was shrouded in darkness, with only a few places lit.
The Prince's Xilong Pavilion was one such place. Fenggong, tugging at his sleeve, stifled a yawn and glanced at the Prince poring over his official documents. Thinking of the days to come, he felt a tinge of melancholy.
Even before ascending the throne, the prince is so diligent. If he becomes emperor in the future, he will surely govern with utmost diligence. As his personal eunuch manager, wouldn't I have to stand and sleep every night...
What everyone thinks is a good deal, what everyone envies, is actually a tough job!
He was worrying about his future being bleak, when a white shadow suddenly darted in through the window next to him, startling him awake.
Instead, the crown prince put down his brush and smiled, beckoning to the little fox. He held it in his arms and played with it for a while.
The little fox ran a long way and was so tired that he yawned. The prince immediately ordered them to rest.
Mr. Feng was overwhelmed with gratitude and almost worshipped the little fox as his ancestor, bowing down to it every day.
This is the life-saving fox!
Today's update is here! her chin and pointing around the courtyard, her meaning was very clear.If nothing is wrong, why would the palace give so many rewardsJia Yin was speechless. She glanced at Wen Fu and Wen Juan, who sh...
