Chapter 352: The Little Fatty's Strange Thought Process

n unfairly. She then picked up the goose by its neck and carried the eggs onto the mule cart.Jia Yin clapped her hands happily. While her mother led the mule and grandmother tied up the goose, she qui...Jia Yin, however, didn't think so. Her brothers were all kind and hardworking young men, deserving of the best women in the world.

"My older brother is the best! Sister Peng married my brother, so she'll get to eat delicious food every day from now on!"

Li Lao Tai and Zhao Yu Ru both burst into laughter. Li Lao Tai pointed at Jia Yin playfully, "This little girl is quite protective!"

Soon, the academy was on lunch break. Jiaren, remembering his younger brother's marriage, took a gift and hurried back with Li Ge'er.

Seeing that everyone at home was smiling, his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled.

He patted Jiahuan's shoulder and said jokingly, "Jiahuan, you're getting married!"

Jiāhuān blushed and after a long pause, managed to squeeze out, "Big brother, don't laugh at me. At home, I'm the second child, yet I have to get married first. Don't be angry..."

"What are you saying, fool!" Jiaren was genuinely happy for his younger brother. "I don't know how long I'll have to study for, let alone getting married in ten or eight years. Do you all intend to remain unmarried just waiting for me"

The two brothers stood side by side, chatting and laughing.

When someone came to have a meal, Jiahuan hurriedly prepared the dishes. Jiaren helped carry them over, completely unconcerned about whether he would dirty his long robe or be teased by familiar students for doing such menial work.

Jia Yin sat on the doorstep, munching on half a cucumber and watching her brothers busy themselves. She smiled so widely that her eyes crinkled like crescent moons.

In the backyard, Li Ge'er was chatting with his grandmother about the interesting things that happened at the academy. Li Laotai nodded from time to time, expressing surprise or joy, which encouraged Li Ge'er to talk even more.

The once thin and silent child, now seems to have shed his stony shell, finally showing the joyful demeanor that a child should possess!

Li Laotai couldn't help but hug her grandson and patted his back gently, "Lǐ Ge'er, you've been following your father home for so long, how do you feel"

Li Ge'er paused for a moment, then smiled and hugged his grandma back, emphasizing with his head, "Yeah, Grandma, it's so good to be home. I like my brother and sister, I like my uncles and aunts, of course, but most of all, I like you, Grandma!"

"That's good," Old Lady Li patted her grandson on the forehead, "Just grow up happy and healthy like this. In the future, Grandma will buy a big courtyard here and bring Anhe and Jixiang over, as well as Cat-brother. Then, you can all study together!"

Zhao Yuru happened to bring the dishes over and asked, “Mother, is Jia'an also coming to study”

"For now, that's what I'm thinking," Old Mrs. Li replied. "The village school does a decent job of basic education, but if the child wants to succeed, it's better to send them to the academy. Even if they don't take the civil service exams later on, making some friends and broadening their horizons is worthwhile."

"That's true," Zhao Yuru nodded. "In the academy, the coursework isn't too rigorous. I see these students reading very easily, but every time there's an exam, quite a few talented scholars and jinshi come out! Speaking of it, the masters in the academy are really skilled."

Soon, Jiarren arrived as well. Everyone chatted and ate, making it a lively gathering.

After the meal, Jia Ren led Li Ge'er back to the academy.

Jia Yin sat on her father's shoulders, and went to the end of the street to buy fresh cooked zhigao for her older brothers. When she returned, the carriage was just ready.

Li Lao Tai instructed a few words, then holding her granddaughter onto the carriage, hurried back home.

When I came, we agreed at home to come early and stay late. As a result, I was delayed all night, and my family didn't know how worried they were...

When passing by Xindu, Jiayin insisted on going to the Hou's mansion.

Li Laotai didn't stop her either. She brought Jiayin to the gate of Houfu, where the head manager Gao came out happily and took Jiayin.

The old woman chatted with him for a few words and didn't go into the Hou Mansion. She hurried away.

Jiāyīn was somewhat tired from the bumpy carriage ride. She entered her private room and fell asleep.

When I woke up, the Lord had already been there beside me.

"Father!" Jia Yin rubbed her eyes and climbed onto the Marquis's legs, "Father, I want to go out and play!"

The lord chuckled, "You've just woken up, and you're already thinking about going out to play"

"Father, my second brother is getting married, I'm going to buy bangles for grandma!" Jiayin said seriously, her chubby little face unusually solemn.

The Lord doesn't understand what the little girl is thinking. Shouldn't she be buying a gift for her new sister-in-law Why would she buy one for the old lady instead

But my best friend said we HAVE to go shopping!

It's not like it's a Herculean task to pluck stars and the moon from the sky, it's just a few steps away.

Immediately, he called a maid in to attend to Jiayin's washing and dressing. He changed her into a new dress, and then the father and daughter went out together.

The steward also left the Hou's Mansion, accompanied by a small servant and a maidservant, personally attending to him.

Upon reaching the marketplace, the lord dismounted his carriage and led Jia Yin toward the largest jewelry store.

On the road, people recognized him and couldn't help but stop and look at him a few more times.

"Is that Xin Ting Hou"

"It should be, how is there still a little girl"

“You guys are so out of touch, just came back from a trip You haven't heard The Marquis has taken in the young miss from the Li family at Suijin Beach as his adopted daughter! The Emperor personally bestowed upon her the title of County Princess, with the name Kangle. Even Suijin Beach itself is now under the jurisdiction of the County Princess!”

"What, there's more to this It's bad enough that he's been given imperial authority, but now he's also being granted land holdings Didn't any of the old ministers in court object"

"Of course I opposed it. I heard someone even mentioned it at court this morning. The Marquis put them back in their place with just a few words."

"What are you saying Speak up, speak up!"

“The Marquis said, 'I have fought for the country many times, facing life and death to secure peace in Jiangnan. The people live in safety and comfort. Surely such merit is enough to warrant a piece of land I am always ready to die on the battlefield, but this only daughter is my concern. All my glory and achievements are nothing compared to her happiness and well-being!'”

"My lord is truly... too indulgent towards this foster daughter!"

"Yeah, many people are saying that the Marquis isn't planning on having any biological children anymore, and in the future the Marquis's Manor will all belong to this young miss from the Li family."

"What on earth did the Li family do to charm the Marquis into doing their bidding!"

"I don't know, I heard long ago that the Marquis treated this Li family differently, but no one believed it. Now everyone knows."

Regardless of what outsiders said, the Marquis and Jiayin entered the jewelry store. The sharp-eyed shopkeeper hurried forward to greet them.

Hearing that he was going to buy bangles, he immediately brought all the bangles in the building upstairs.

Beads of gold, silver, jade, and even coral, as well as pearl necklaces, were not spared.

The lord glanced at her and asked his daughter, "Choosing is too tiring, just buy them all."

"No, no!" Jia Yin hurriedly shook her head, pacing back and forth with her little hands behind her back. "Uncle, you don't understand. When you buy something, you have to pick and choose until you find your favorite one, then it's truly happy!"

The lord laughed and asked, "Isn't it because you wouldn't part with the silver that you only bought one"

Jiayin was exposed to her greed for material possessions, and stomped her foot in anger, “From now on, I’m never going shopping with my adoptive father again!”

The Lord laughed heartily and quickly flattered, "Uncle, you're wrong. Buy as many as you want, Uncle will pay for them!"

"No, I have my own silver!" Jia Yin patted her small purse, "I'm a little rich girl, I want to buy it myself!"

The Lord didn't stop her, he just glanced at the chief manager. The chief manager understood and immediately stepped forward to help introduce. bloom. You should invite all your female friends over to my place for a feast.""Okay, Grandma," Jia Yin replied politely.Perhaps Zhimin knew she had left early and was worried something might have ha...
