Chapter 363: Old Li's Family Ancestor's Tomb is Pu

couldn't help but complain, looking down on Dingbei Hou. 。Mr. Wen also nodded, "The Lord Marquis always leads the charge in battle, bravely fighting the enemy" 。Ding Bei Hou, however, hid behind his...Funiu'er immediately jumped down from her brother's lap, waved her hand, and happily ran back into the house.

The old woman saw her granddaughter with empty hands and scolded, "You've been secretly drawing something good from your brother again If you're going to hide it, hide it well and don't lose it."

"Okay, Grandma!"

Jia Yin smiled, revealing a small white tooth. In three or two movements, she took off her outer clothing and dove into the large clam shell.

The old woman blew out the oil lamp, plunging the room into darkness. But moonlight streamed through the cracks in the window pane, illuminating the large seashell like a pearly egg, cradling the little girl as she quickly drifted off to sleep.

Inhaling the faint scent of sea salt, Jiayin's dream was filled with gulls circling around the masts of large ships, white waves crashing against the shore, and small boats laden with fish...

When I woke up, the sky was already bright, and the kang was empty.

Jia Yin rubbed her eyes and took a closer look. The Lord and her uncle were on the ground, guarding a square table and drinking tea.

Perhaps seeing her awake, her soft hair puffed up like a little hedgehog. Both of them burst into laughter.

The Lord stepped forward and carried the chubby little girl out of the shell, "Awake, Funiu"

"Father, when are you coming back" Jiayin yawned widely, still a little dazed.

"I just got home," the Marquis said with a smile, "Your grandmother is in the side room. Would your godfather wash your face for you"

"Good." Jiayin nodded and called out again, "Uncle, I dreamed of the sea last night."

Li Zhensheng also smiled, "When you grow up, your uncle will take you to the south to ride a big ship!"

At this time, Grandma He and Shui Ling brought in warm water and soaked the handkerchief.

The Lord wiped the little girl's face, and He Mama and the others took out clean clothes. When everything was tidied up, Shuiyun also brought up egg custard and rice.

The Lord Hou accompanied the little girl to eat and drink her fill, then said, “I’m going to Yunhe Town with your uncle. The grain there is ready for harvest, and your uncle wants to discuss something with you.”

Jia Yin was curious, but she still nodded.

Li Zhensheng hugged his young niece and, after thinking for a moment, said, "Funiu'er, your uncle originally wanted to use the credit of the new grain harvest to get you some security, but things have happened at home these past few months and your uncle is very worried.

"Those people from the Yan family dare to smash our house, they're just taking advantage of the fact that our family has no fame and is just an ordinary commoner. So, this time with the new grain harvest, can..."

Before Elder Brother could finish speaking, Jia Yin understood his meaning and immediately replied, "Elder Brother, Fu Niuer has her father and godfather to support her! Fu Niuer is still a county princess, no one dares to bully her! Elder Brother should ask Grandmother for an imperial decree, the kind that allows anyone who receives it to stand without bowing! And also ask Second Brother for a high official position, one that doesn't require him to work but still pays him."

Li Zhensheng was taken aback and looked at his niece with newfound respect.

He indeed wanted to use the merit of this grain offering to ask for a title for his grandmother, and an honorary position for his second brother.

This way, when Mother sees any noble person, she won't have to bow. Not even those like the Yan family, or even imperial relatives, would she fear.

While the second brother was naturally smooth and shrewd, he held an official position. He fulfilled his childhood dream of taking the civil service exams and becoming an official; he didn't have to go out on errands every day and wasn't afraid of office politics.

But his young niece's quick agreement made him feel a little guilty.

This year on the road, for most of his free time, he would ponder his home and found that his niece was unlike any other.

The Lord always said that his family saved his life twice, but there's no one in his family who knows medicine.

Think again, the Marquis treats his niece like a precious jewel. He even prepared to leave the entire Marquisate to her after his death.

Even with such great achievements as offering grain, they plan to exchange a golden amulet for their niece's safety.

He just couldn't figure it out, he was so stubborn.

None could describe his niece's wonders better than the Marquis himself.

These newly abundant crops, fruit trees planted on the mountainside, emerald cucumbers and golden fruits in the fields, are all inextricably linked to my niece.

And now he was going to take credit for the grain offering, which would definitely hurt his niece.

As the uncle, taking credit for the child's accomplishments really weighed on his conscience.

"Little Fu, your uncle knows you're a good child. In the future, your uncle will definitely earn a lot of silver and buy you countless solid gold bracelets!"

Jiayin smiled and nodded, her eyes shining with gold. "Uncle, Funiu has so many golden bracelets. Could we exchange them for jade bracelets instead"

Of course! Whatever Fu Niuer wants, her uncle will buy it for her!

Li Zhensheng gently kissed his niece's forehead, feeling immense joy in his heart.

The Lao Li family must have incense rising from their ancestral graves, otherwise how could they have such excellent children reincarnate

The Lord glanced at the sky outside and, receiving good news, instructed, “Your foster father and your uncle, as well as your father, will all be busy for a few days. You stay home and rest well. If you have nothing to do, return to the Marquis’ mansion for a few days.”

"Alright, Godfather, please rest assured, Jiayin will listen." Jia Yin patted her chest, looking so obedient that it melted one's heart.

As they walked all the way to the front gate, the Marquis only then handed Jiayin over to He Mamā.

At this time, Li Lao Si also led his horse over. The three of them mounted their horses, greeted their personal soldiers, and in the blink of an eye, they were gone without a trace.

In the orchard, villagers were busy picking fruit. Seeing this, they asked Li Lao'er, "Master Li, are you leaving again"

"No," Li Laoer wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled, "The Marquis has some important business, he asked Big Brother to help."

Having said that, he changed the subject and shouted to everyone, "Everyone, work harder! Someone from Liu's family came this morning. They said the fruit taken back last night was completely looted. Today, we pick as much as we can and take it away!"

"After a year of hard work, we are finally about to see the harvest! These aren't red fruits in front of us, but golden ones!"

Everyone burst into laughter. “Second Master is right! I dreamt last night that the tree was laden with golden fruit, it was so beautiful!”

Some people also said, "If we divide the silver again this year, it's time to find a wife for my youngest son!"

"My household is the same, we need to prepare the bride's dowry well in advance."

“Actually, I think it would be better to find a husband for her. Going to another family is hard work, who knows how she'd handle it. Besides, nowhere compares to the abundance we have here in Suijin Tan!”

Well, let's plan it that way for now and see how it goes.

Someone asked Li Laer, “Mr. Er, your family must be reluctant to let Fu Niu’er get married, right”

Before Old Li Er could respond, someone else chimed in, “Of course! Our Fu Niuer is so blessed! Once she’s married, wouldn’t she just be benefiting outsiders We must definitely find a son-in-law who comes from the groom's family!”

The onlookers also nodded, "You'd better choose carefully!"

Li Laoer heard this and couldn't help but chuckle, "Funiu is only a few years old! It's too early to talk about these things!"

Without mentioning how the crowd in the orchard gossiped and chatted, it is said that Lord Hou, Li Zhensheng, Li Lao Si, and Liu Zhiheng joined forces and rushed to Yunhe Town.

People stood on the edge of the field, gazing at the vast expanse of cornstalks swaying in the autumn wind.

Each stalk bore a corncob nearly a foot long, and the mischievous golden kernels burst from their husks, glittering in the sun.and sweet! It really takes away all the worries and frustrations!Someone immediately said to Dong, "Dong brother, not saying whether we can eat good things in a while. Just saying that these few pots...
