Chapter 366: Old Master Wang Regrets to His Core!

eter than eating honey.After a month of hard work and overcoming many challenges, this moment has finally arrived.All tiredness, dissolved in my smile and my daughter's drool.In a hurry, Jia Yi quickl...The Emperor gave him a cold glance and retorted, "Do you think I'm being too generous, Marquis Dingbei Then fine, Marquis Dingbei can immediately depart for Quanzhou. Whenever you bring back two high-yield crops that rival corn and potatoes, I will bestow upon you the title of Duke. What do you say"

Dingbei Hou wilted immediately.

Let's not talk about whether high-yield food can be found again. Just saying that if it can't be found, he can't return to Xindu. Is he going to stay in Quanzhou for the rest of his life

He hurriedly kowtowed and pleaded guilty, "Your Majesty, I was wrong!"

"Hmph, get back to me and reflect for a month behind closed doors. You're also being docked half your salary for this. If you continue to speak recklessly, you won't even be entitled to the title of Marquis anymore!" The Emperor flicked his sleeve dismissively, and Duke Dingbei wiped the cold sweat from his brow as he retreated.

Li Zhensheng hurried forward, knelt down and kowtowed to express his gratitude.

This time he was truly excited and thrilled, he wouldn't have to worry about his house being bullied anymore!

Whether sincere or insincere, everyone rushed forward to offer their congratulations.

Grandfather Wang Bo-wei of the Wang family stood at the back of the crowd, his head bowed. He couldn't be seen from the face, but his heart was a mixture of emotions.

Had he known about Li Zhensheng's extraordinary experiences and the good fortune of his family, he would have done everything in his power to mediate a friendship between the Wang family and the Li family back then...

As long as Li Zhensheng is cured and supported in his return to the Li family, the two children, one surnamed Wang and the other Li, the Li family will definitely not delve into past matters.

Then everything will be covered up, and the two families will get closer. Now, everything about the Li family will become a boost for the Wang family.

It's a pity, it's a pity that pride came before the fall and didn't take the Li family seriously.

The Li family, from humble commoners, rose directly to become prominent figures in the new Heavenly Martial era!

...or perhaps a newly rich family with a grudge against the Wangs...

If anyone had x-ray vision, they would surely see that Old Master Wang's intestines were all turning a purplish hue.

Yet, some courtiers who had previously disagreed with him seized this opportunity to mock him. One stepped forward and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Your Excellency Wang! Though the Li family was once in-law to your Wang family, they are now…a hereditary Earl with a first-rank誥命夫人..."

"Oh, there's also the Kangle County Princess. She's simply risen to great heights, achieving success quickly! In the future, she will surely be more attentive to the Wang family. I bet the elder is happier than anyone else about this"

Old Wang gritted his teeth in anger, secretly regretting why he had gone to court today. If he had pretended to be sick at home, he wouldn't have to suffer such humiliation!

What embarrassed him most was that this fertile field before his eyes clearly belonged to their Wang family. Now, it was planted with high-yield crops, yet there wasn't a shred of connection to his family!

The old Wang grew angrier and angrier, her eyes darkened, and she almost fainted.

Unfortunately, no one had the heart to look after him.

Right now, the Emperor has rolled up his sleeves and personally gone out to harvest corn.

All civil and military officials dared not slack off, they all followed closely, joining the ranks of the harvesting army!

Without saying how bustling Yunhe Town was, let alone talking about the hustle and bustle of Suijin Beach during its midday sun, just say that the sunset over Suijin Beach was a rare tranquility and joy.

The villagers had picked all the apples from the hillsides on the west side of Hot Spring Valley for the day.

Baskets upon baskets of fruit were loaded onto the carriages. Liu's steward and servants, grinning broadly, bid farewell to everyone and then returned home laden with goods.

The villagers were exhausted. One by one, they grabbed a fruit and sat under the big tree at the village entrance, chatting and sipping water to quench their thirst.

The village head, waving his pipe bowl, encouraged them: "Let's work harder tomorrow and finish the other hill too. But everyone remember, pick the best fruit trees and leave six or seven behind."

"Let's wait until after the first frost to pick them. Then, we can share them among our families. The children will have sweet mouths that don't stop talking. We'll save some until New Year's and make two plates to offer to our ancestors so they can taste the freshness too!"

"Okay, I'll listen to the village elder."

"We haven't figured out the price for these fruits yet. Let's eat them quickly, otherwise we'll be too hesitant to eat them later!"

"Haha, Liu Dalao is a capable person, he'll definitely sell a lot of silver."

"I've been swamped these past few days, so I'm going to treat myself to a big bowl of dumplings filled with two jin of meat. I've been working so hard lately, my stomach deserves a reward!"

The villagers chattered and laughed, causing the village head to tap them. "Back when we were in the north, we spent all day wading in water, our backs tanned until they peeled off, and you never complained about being tired. Now, just picking a few fruits, you find it tiring You've really had too good of a life, spoiling you!"

Everyone laughed, even though they were scolded.

Life is about young people wagging their tails now and then, and the elderly shaking their shoes to scare them a bit. That's what makes it lively!

Each household's chimney is billowing smoke, and the women are busy cooking.

Outside the Li family courtyard, mischievous boys sat in a row on the stone slabs, each munching on fruit.

This season, the daytime is still pleasant, but it gets quite chilly once the sun sets.

House An was afraid the stone would make her little sister's bottom cold, so she held her sister in her arms and sat on her legs.

Jixi held the fruit in his mouth and quickly took off his outer garment to put it on his younger sister.

Cat-ge thought for a moment, took the fruit from his younger sister's hand, and like a little rabbit, started munching crazily. He gnawed at it a few times, then stripped off the peel and shoved the fruit back into his sister's hand, grinning with a row of pearly white teeth, "Sister, eat. The skin is gone."

Jia Yin blinked her big eyes, completely dumbfounded. She could only shake her head and take a big bite.

What saliva, what doesn't saliva, it doesn't matter!

This is all because of brother's love, love!

Shui Ling stood to the side, couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle until her stomach ached...

Grandma He came out of the courtyard carrying a small cloak. Seeing that Miss was wrapped tightly, she did not come forward. Just as she was about to speak to Shui Ling, a group of people ran down the path from outside the village.

The villagers were startled and all stood up, not understanding who would come so hurriedly at this time.

The village head even shouted to the children, “Hurry into the courtyard, if I don’t call you, don’t come out!”

Jia Anjiaxi was very curious, but still picked up her younger sister, grabbed her younger brother, and with her companions, quickly went into their house.

The group of people gradually ran closer, and everyone saw that the person sitting on horseback was actually an eunuch. Behind him were soldiers with "forbidden" written on their chests, so they were even more confused.

The village head said to the crowd, “Don’t be afraid, these are Imperial Guards, protecting the Emperor. There are also eunuchs, who serve the Emperor!”

His voice was rather high-pitched, and the eunuchs and guards nearby could all hear him.

The eunuch didn't get angry, he jumped off his horse and said with a smile, "Elder village head, we recognized you from afar! You went to the palace to offer the jade gourd, and it was our family who led the way for you back then!"

"Oh, father-in-law, I'm so sorry. As an ordinary farmer, just entering the palace once leaves me shaking in my boots, it's a miracle I didn't faint! I really can't remember who I met!" The village head quickly bowed and apologized.

The eunuch then helped the village head up and smiled, "Old Village Head, no need to be so polite. Your Golden Sand Beach is a blessed feng shui treasure bestowed by the Emperor. He constantly keeps it in mind. In the future, there will surely be more good things to come. Perhaps our family will frequent this blessed land often, and then I'll need you old man to take care of us."

Having said that, he revealed a corner of bright yellow from his bosom and added, “Please trouble the village head, go and inform Li’s old madam and Li’s second son, Li Yusheng, to receive the imperial decree!”

"Oh my, it's an imperial decree!"

Before the village head could even respond, villagers were already screaming and running into Li's courtyard.

Li Laoer picked fruit today and accidentally strained his waist. He's lying on the kang right now, letting his mother rub him with medicated wine.

So, what happened outside the hospital gates, these two had no idea.

Suddenly, the old woman heard villagers shouting in the yard and dropped the bottle of medicinal wine from her hand.

Li Laer flipped over and got up, fastening his belt while shielding his mother behind him. "Mother, don't worry, I'll go take a look." her body was still weak. After walking this distance, she was short of breath.Jia Yin quickly struggled down from the old woman's back and only hugged the old woman's thigh.The village head tapped hi...
