Chapter 675: Receive as much, and give back as much!

Laoer also responded, "Originally, I lived in the north. When the barbarians attacked, I moved here with everyone else."Wang Yuanwai's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Brother, do you know any good doctor...Soon, the carriages from Hou's mansion were also in motion.

Jia Yin embraced her foster father's arm for a long while, saying nothing. The Marquis didn't ask anything either.

The people in the palace went to invite the plump girl, and he knew about it right after. It was precisely because he was worried that the plump girl would be heartbroken that he threw away all his errands and came to pick her up.

It seems like Pangu is still feeling wronged.

After an unknown amount of time, Jia Yin took the initiative to speak, "Uncle, in the future when you and my father lead troops north again, you must make two preparations. You can't entrust all important matters to one person. If something happens to that person, both of you will be in danger."

She looked at the Marquis, her big eyes full of seriousness and solemnity, “Father, even if this person is His Royal Uncle, it’s not right. He’s not worthy of being entrusted to, you understand”

The Marquis nodded and replied in a low voice, “Rest assured, I understand. The Emperor is kind and righteous. This is a good thing.”

"But this also made him indecisive and easily swayed by others. This is also why I always make sure to arrange the supplies before each campaign."

Jia Yin clutched her adoptive father's arm, her voice downcast. "I know, the third princess is His Majesty's biological daughter. I'm just a country girl. If it weren't for you, Father, His Majesty wouldn't even know who I am."

But... he clearly said that he only wanted the silver and didn't care about the shop. But now he says he wants to go back on his word Is it okay to break promises to children

"I painstakingly ran the shop, and he just sent it out so lightly..."

The Lord felt heartbroken and, unusually disregarding any propriety, held the little girl in his arms, gently patting her back and comforting her in a low voice.

"Don't be sad, Your Majesty can favor his own daughter, and your godfather also favors you. "

And the emperor has several children, but your adoptive father only has one daughter. Come, return to the Marquis's mansion with your adoptive father, I'll show you something good.

Jia Yin listened with a warm heart, tightly hugged her godfather, then sat back down and changed the subject.

After all, she wasn't really a child. She wouldn't just sulk for a while and be over it. It was impossible that she would let her stepfather worry about this for her sake.

At the end of the day, the Emperor was just the golden thigh she wanted to cling to.

She could treat the Emperor like an elder, even a friend, but she would never naively believe that he treated her like his own daughter.

From now on, just report back whatever you get.

The emperor in the deep palace had no idea what he had lost because of a single breach of trust...

The carriage rumbled along, arriving quickly at the Marquis's residence. The Marquis led his plump daughter in through the gate, and as they passed, every servant bowed their heads in greeting, showing utmost respect.

The steward heard the news and hurried forward. Seeing that both the young and old masters seemed unhappy, his heart skipped a beat.

He quickly smiled and said, "My lord, where did you pick up the county lady Just as two fat sheep were brought to the farm, why not roast a leg of lamb in the garden You accompany the county lady, admire the snow scene, and have some fresh food"

The lord shook his head and ordered, "Have the lamb legs packed well. We'll take them with us when we return to Suijin Beach later."

The steward's face fell. He had thought the masters would be eating dinner at home.

Jia Yin thought for a moment and then laughed as she soothed him, “Uncle Butler, it’s almost the start of December. I’ll come every other day from now on, Uncle Butler please teach me more about how to behave at different households.”

"In my glass house, I've planted quite a few fruits that were transplanted from the south. They should all be ready to add to the gift list this year."

As expected, the steward's face lit up with a smile upon hearing this.

"Excellent! This old servant will have the young mistress's room cleaned and warmed. The young mistress should not just come tomorrow, it would be best if she came every day."

As he spoke, the Lord brought Jiayin to the warehouse in the inner courtyard.

The head butler, Mali, deftly pulled the key from his waist and opened the door, then stood guard at the entrance.

Jia Yin followed her godfather into the room, curiously looking around. Then she gasped in surprise.

Because this warehouse, only two rooms in size, was packed to the brim with all sorts of good stuff!

The wood of zitan and golden nanmu was piled up neatly.

Various sized porcelain vases, screens with bases of different colors and materials, boxes of paintings and calligraphy, silk fabrics, large chunks of jade, and carved ornaments...

In short, there's nothing you can't find here.

Jia Yin had been in charge of the Hou Mansion for some time now, but these things didn't seem to be on the inventory list at all.

The Lord led her to a row of wooden shelves, on which there were many brocade boxes.

The Lord opened one and handed it to Jia Yin. Jia Yin's eyes were red from the dazzling light, because the box was filled with rubies.

The large ones are like dates, and the small ones are like sesame seeds.

Each grain is pure and clear, the red is rich and intense, definitely not an ordinary item.

This wasn't over yet. The Lord opened another box, inside which were a pair of jade bracelets. They were emerald green and crystal clear, the finest of the finest. They were truly better than any bracelets Jia Yin had ever seen.

She couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Father-in-law, did you rob someone's treasure trove"

The Lord smiled lightly, putting the bracelet on her wrist. Seeing that it was a bit large, he took it off and put it back in place.

He rummaged through the remaining boxes, chuckling as he said, "You guessed right, it was a raid on a treasure hoard, but not someone's - it was the barbarians'!

When families moved from Kyoto to the new capital, many valuables were left behind and found by barbarians. Some who moved late were killed and robbed by them. This accumulated over time, becoming a large problem.

"During the northern campaign, we captured two cities occupied by barbarians. These items then became our spoils of war."

To avoid prying eyes, these things were only shipped back two months late. The marked ones needed to be processed, and the gold and silver had to be melted down into bars before everything was finally settled a few days ago.

"In this storeroom, everything is kept for you. In the future, with this key, find an opportunity to put it in a safe place where you feel at ease.

"When you marry in the future, these are the dowry your godfather has prepared for you."

Having finished, the Lord finally found a small circular opening in a box containing a sheep fat jade bracelet. He put it back on his daughter's wrist and was satisfied.

As soon as he looked up, he saw that the little girl was in tears.

"What's wrong What don't you like Don't cry, Godfather will give it to you again after the expedition..."

"Father!" Jiayin hugged her adoptive father and cried, "Father, why are you so good to me I didn't even save the earth in my past life, how come I have such a good adoptive father this life!"

"Waa, I'm too scared to sleep, what if I wake up and it's all just a dream!"

"Father, in the future Funiu will definitely be good to you, take care of you, and make sure you live to 100 years old. I will respect and serve you until you are 100 years old!"

The Marquis laughed, crouched down and wiped the tears from the chubby girl's face, "What silly things are you saying Your godfather only wants one daughter, you don't raise me, who else can I depend on"

Besides, which father in the world wouldn't prepare a dowry for his daughter when she marries It's only right!

"Your father has one too, he probably took it home by now. He'll definitely save some for you as your dowry!"

Jiayin wiped her tears, her heart both warm and full.

At this moment, what does the emperor's word even mean The third princess wanted to pick the peach but she had thrown it all out of her mind.

With so many people who love her, she doesn't even have time to cherish them all, let alone be sad and angry for two unrelated people! visitors who frequented the valley. These past few days, there must be quite a stir, with many coming to inquire about what happened. 。So, he instructed the village elder, “Elder, we still shouldn’t...
