oat aren't fully developed yet, she's too lazy to parrot words every day, too lazy to repeatedly correct him.It's fine to wait until it's fully developed before starting to speak.But the family member...Tongyu was startled and immediately wanted to shrink back, but his head bumped with a loud "bang", making him wince in pain.
Gu Qingqing has nothing more to say. If she had known her sister was this "lively," she would never have brought her out.
Why embarrass yourself!
Jia Yin actually quite likes Tongyu's lively nature. After all, having seen so many proper young ladies from noble families in Tianwu, there were too few with such genuine personalities.
But she couldn't say that, she could only persuade Gu Qingqing.
"Elder Sister Gu, don't be angry. Elder Sister Tongyu probably knows we are doing well and unseen by the outside world, so she is acting more freely."
Gu Qingqing's heart felt a little better, "Luckily she is here with you, otherwise if news of her recklessness spread, how could she ever get married!"
Tong Yu shrunk his neck, afraid to speak, but his eyes still couldn't help but glance out the window.
Jia Yin was curious and, while pouring tea, also took a glance.
It turned out that several refugees were causing trouble, so Jia An was leading soldiers to deal with them.
Rarely did the household official show such a stern face, holding himself with an air of authority. The refugees were still defiant, but after being glared at harshly several times by him, they finally settled down.
Jia Yin frowned, thinking she still had to remind her second uncle and older brother.
In times of chaos, use strict laws!
A bodhisattva's heart must also have the means of a vajra!
More than ten thousand displaced people, if appeased with only kindness and comfort, would inevitably cause chaos.
The best way to manage is to combine the big stick with carrots...
After sitting for a while, the grain carts from Gu's family arrived.
Just then, Li La Er accompanied the Crown Prince as well.
It is said that the Gu family donated five hundred dan of grain, so the prince especially invited Gu Qingqing and Tongyu sisters.
Tongyu was very excited. In the past few days at home, she always heard how handsome and accomplished in both civil and military affairs the prince was.
Finally, I get to see the living one!
On the other hand, Gu Qingqing was more worried than excited. Of course, she was afraid that her younger sister would lose face in front of the Crown Prince and cause trouble for their family.
... more afraid...more afraid that my sister would catch the prince's eye!
My family doesn't look down on the prince, but my sister's temperament if she enters the palace, in just three months she would bring trouble and have our family raided and exterminated!
Luckily, the crown prince only praised the Gu family's righteousness and had the two sisters bring a gift to Mr. Gu.
Gu Qingqing was overjoyed and quickly took her younger sister home to report the good news.
To be praised by the prince, the heir apparent, is a testament to the Gu family's influence. They can rest assured for at least twenty years of prosperity.
As soon as the Gu family's carriage had left, the Jia family's carriage arrived.
Mrs. Jia Er also came with Baozhu to donate grain and supplies.
But what was different was that they had heard the good news outside the city and specifically wanted to see her.
The pearl, like a small cannonball, jumped out of the car and grabbed Jia Yin's arm.
"Sister Jia Yin, I haven't seen you in days, I miss you so much!"
Before Gu could speak, she saw the Crown Prince standing nearby and added casually, “Oh, so Gu is here too!”
Jia Er's wife lagged a few steps behind her daughter and, upon hearing this, almost fainted.
That was the prince, the second most honorable person in the world. How could he possibly be willing to hear people bring up his past as an administrator!
To the prince's surprise, he didn't seem to mind at all. Instead, he chuckled and said, "Baozhu, it's good to see you again. You're still as straightforward as ever."
Baozhu also reacted, her mouth had been too fast just now.
At this moment, her face flushed slightly, she rubbed against Jiayin's back and stood, apologizing softly, "Your Highness, please forgive me, I didn't think too much for a while..."
Jia Er-fu also hurried up, quickly bowing and apologizing.
Seeing that the Crown Prince was truly not angry, Jia Yin helped change the subject and asked, "How did Second Madam bring Baozhu here"
Jia Er-fu quickly said, "I heard that Master had taken on the task of managing refugees, and our family happened to have some surplus grain. I thought about sending it over. Even if it doesn't help much, it is a way to do my best."
"What a commendable effort!" The prince nodded in agreement. "If everyone in the new capital were like Madam Jia, then who would worry about refugees being restless, or Heaven's Martial might not be at peace"
"Your Highness is too kind," said Jia Er-Fu, feigning humility. "A mere woman like me knows nothing of state affairs. It's just that I can't bear to see the suffering of the common people."
The crown prince didn't say much more, he only instructed Jia Yin, "Consort, please keep an eye out for the good lady. When Miss Baozhu gets married, this prince will also send a gift."
Mrs. Jia Er was overjoyed, her composure vanished completely.
She knelt down directly and kowtowed in thanks.
She treasured her daughter above all else, so much so that even when the time came for her to marry, she likely feared the prince would have already ascended the throne.
That's the Imperial gift of adding makeup!
A daughter-in-law who marries into the household of a minister of finance needn't fear being mistreated.
Then her waist must be straight and tall, no one would dare underestimate her!
Though naive, Baozhu understood that the Prince would support her, so she followed him in performing the rituals.
The crown prince nodded and followed Li Lao Er as they walked around.
Madam Jia Er rose and took Jiayin's hand, speechless for a long while.
Jiayin understood too well the pains and joys of being a mother.
"It's Baozhu who mutters on the side, "The Crown Prince might as well bestow some good things right away! I haven't even had my betrothal ceremony yet, who knows when I'll actually get married!"
Mrs. Jia Er was so angry that she raised her hand and gave her daughter a whack on the head, but naturally, out of love, she didn't hit hard.
"You foolish girl, you're going to drive me crazy! Can the dowry the Crown Prince gave at your wedding compare to this reward"
Bao Zhu hugged her head and hid behind, once again using Jia Yin as a shield.
Jia Yin was helpless. Before, she thought she wasn't easy to take care of, but now she suddenly felt proud! What's the matter
Compared to Gu's Tongyu and Baozhu, she is incredibly well-behaved and obedient...
Tens of thousands of refugees gather here, although they are protected by soldiers, it is still not safe.
Some refugees, perhaps having eaten their fill and finally with some leisure time, couldn't stop staring at the women.
Those eyes were like hooks, wanting nothing more than to strip the woman bare.
Then, Mrs. Jia Er and Baozhu returned to the city. Jia An also drove his younger sister back with them.
Good girl, just listen. You won't be much help here anyway.
Of course, she didn't know that after her and the Jia family's carriage had left, those ill-looking refugees were sent to fetch water.
This is a good job because there are few wells outside the city that have such plentiful water.
To get water, people had to follow carts into the city and draw water bucket by bucket from a shared well. They would then pour it into large tanks and haul them back to the refugee camp.
There are many wealthy people in the city. Just meeting one with a kind heart, throwing some loose silver, would be enough for the refugees to eat good food for several days.
Thus, for a few dozen spots, people almost have to break their heads every day.
Unfortunately, there are always exceptions.
Several refugees followed the carriage with great enthusiasm, but for some reason, they were kept several steps away by a veteran soldier traveling with it.
They were so engrossed in the bustling city life that by the time they came to their senses, the carriage had already driven away.
Several people were terrified and frantically searched everywhere.
At this moment, a wealthy young man appeared out of nowhere. He was dressed in silk robes and held a golden-lacquered fan in his hand.
It just so happened that a peasant bumped into the rich young master, and in doing so, stepped on his gold-painted fan.
"Oh, my fan! This was a fan I commissioned a renowned calligrapher to write on!" The wealthy young master cried out at once, filled with anguish, as if he had lost an heirloom.
His attendants and guards behind him immediately surrounded the few refugees.
"Where do you think you're going! You've made a big mistake, and you can't escape!"
"Yes, come with us to the government office, we must bring him to justice!"
