day, feeding him medicine. 。" Ye Gongzi's heart was warmed to the core. She whispered softly, "I'm fine, Baofu Niuniu, go back and sleep." 。“ Old Mrs. Li nodded, she also felt sorry for her gra...Guli was surprised, she didn't expect Jia Yin to be so generous.

Unbeknownst to others, he knew all too well.

If a fresh produce store were to open, aside from anything else, selling only vegetables and fruits, one could easily earn several thousand taels in a month.

While the profit margin might seem small, you can still earn a few hundred taels of silver every month.

And this is a long-term return, as long as the shop is open, the income will not be interrupted...

This is way better than a reward!

He gazed deeply at Jiayin for a moment, then bowed his head in greeting.

"Thank you for your gift, Miss Xie!"

Jia Yin waved her hand and said, "This is what you deserve. Go tell Mr. Jiang, and remember to come back for hot pot."

"Yes, my lady," Gu Li retreated a few steps before turning and leaving the room.

Old Li couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "This child is really good. Before, I only saw him acting steadily and diligently managing the shop. I didn't expect him to be so good at studying either."

"I wish I had advised Mr. Jiang to sell his serfdom and send him to take the imperial examinations. Perhaps he would be a scholar now."

Jiarren didn't want his grandmother to talk about this any more, so he changed the subject and said, "Grandma, Lu brother isn't feeling well. He needs to stay in the village for a while and get treated by Zhang Shenyi."

He brought a lot of elite guards with him. Our house can't accommodate them all. Grandma, how do you plan to arrange their lodging

Li Laotai hurriedly looked at Lu Zong, her eyes full of concern as she examined him from head to toe.

Lu Zong wore a brown, floral-patterned wide-sleeved robe today, which made his complexion seem rather pale.

Li Laotai was so distressed that she kept nagging, "You child, why are you being so polite"

"If your body isn't feeling well, you should come see Dr. Zhang sooner rather than later! "

"You're in Xin Du all by yourself, far from your family. You need to be extra careful about things. If you get sick, your parents will worry and feel so much pain hearing the news."

Having said that, she was about to have someone invite Zhang Shenyi.

Jia Yin, having studied medicine for so long, of course could see that Lu Zong was not sick.

Then she thought of the fifty elite soldiers outside the courtyard, all coming to stay here. She vaguely guessed Lu Cong's good intentions.

So, she quickly stopped her grandmother and said, "Grandma, Brother Lu isn't in a hurry. It doesn't matter if we wait a while."

"After lunch, have Big Brother accompany Elder Brother Lu for a walk. It'll be good for digestion."

As for lodging, Brother Lu could stay in the west wing of my foster father's courtyard, and the personal guards could stay in the covered porch of our house.

Li Laotai nodded, "That's good too, there are still five empty rooms in the roofed house, so we can arrange it."

Jia Yin had just gone out, calling the maidservants to clean the bedchamber and arrange bedding and other supplies.

The kitchen has also begun to simmer the bone broth...

When the sun was directly overhead, Maoge and his friends came back giggling, carrying baskets.

The basket was filled with various green vegetables, and quite a few fruits had also been picked.

Tao Hongying heard the news in Er Cun and rushed back, personally making some refreshing and appetizing side dishes.

The old woman was afraid the boys would feel constrained, so she put the hot pot in Ye's guest room.

When there are no adults around, the boys can play freely and have a blast.

Even if you are drunk, you can still take a bath in the hot spring pool in the western ear room.

Although the marquis said that the courtyard could be used by anyone at will when he went out on campaign.

But Jia Yin still had Dong Mei lock up both the main house and east wing's hot spring pools, tidying them regularly so that when her adoptive father returned, he could live in a comfortable and clean environment.

This time, if it weren't for Luzong coming to borrow lodgings, with his noble status and his ancestors having connections with the Marquis, Jiayin wouldn't have arranged things like this...

Originally, Lu Zong's excuse for treating illnesses was just that. However, after visiting Zhang Shenyi in the afternoon, he was truly diagnosed with a deeply hidden old ailment by Zhang Shenyi.

It turned out that he was mischievous as a child. He caught a cold one winter day, and although it was cured at the time, after so many years, his body has become strong, but he actually still has some symptoms of a cold.

If you don't take good care of yourself, it will be difficult to have children in the future.

This startled Luzong.

As the only legitimate son of the Lu family, it was his duty to carry on the lineage and produce offspring.

Fortunately, this time helping out at Li's house actually led to a discovery. It truly is a case of good deeds being rewarded...

From now on, Lu Cong lived there, taking his medicine and baths every day.

Of course Jia Xu had to accompany Lu Xun, occasionally returning to the city for a night's stay.

Because of Lu Zong's arrival, fifty elite soldiers from the Lu family were stationed in shifts to guard the new village and the Li family.

This certainly put Li's family and the villagers at ease!

In a blink of an eye, four or five days passed. Jia Ren saw that Wang Sheng and Liu Kui hadn't brought over the deed to the shop yet, so he was about to go into town to demand it.

As a result, someone came to Ercun to report.

"Young Master, some people have arrived at the gate and wish to see you, the Grand Master, or your uncle!"

Home-Jen guessed the score and asked, "Did they report their names"

“Word on the street, Young Master! They said their names are Liu and Wang, claiming to seek an audience, but with their noses in the air, they don't look like decent folk at all.” The messenger, an old soldier named Xu, seemed to be a hothead. He added casually, “Young Master, should we just throw them out”

Jia Ren waved his hand and said a word to Grandma before walking away.

Jia Yin, not feeling at ease, wrapped herself in a large crimson cloak adorned with gold thread and followed after him.

Jia Xu and Lu Xun, upon hearing the news, naturally also wished to accompany him.

Li Ge'er and Mao Ge'er were even more fearless, rushing ahead.

Lu's elite soldiers, divided into twenty men, also closely guarded the rear...

Thus, a throng of people arrived at the foot of the gate in no time at all.

The old soldier from Ercun didn't know why the Liu and Wang families had come to visit, but whenever so many people came to Suijintan, nothing good ever happened.

They were experienced, so everyone put down their work and gathered together with whatever tools they had, subtly forming a circle around Liu and Wang's families...

Liu Kui and Wang Sheng were beaten black and blue, looking like pigs' heads in disarray.

At this sight of the veteran soldiers, no one dared to speak anymore.

Liu Zhǎngguì and Wang Yuǎnwài were furious, wishing they could kill their two sons to eat them.

Originally, they heard that their son had bet his own quilt at a poetry gathering, and even lost.

They were furious, but they didn't take it too seriously.

After all, the shop is no longer under the names of the two children. If they don't honor their promise, nobody dares to forcefully take it away.

As a result, yesterday Mr. Mo Mei and several other senior gentlemen went to their door personally, demanding that they honor their gambling agreement and quickly transfer the shop to the Li family.

They pleaded their case, making heartfelt appeals, but they refused to comply with the old man's every demand.

Finally, the old gentlemen left, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that everything was over.

As a result, in the afternoon, several companies that had business dealings with them suddenly cut off cooperation.

Until this morning, the shop was deserted, and many people were still gathered in front of it, pointing and gossiping.

Then they realized the gravity of the situation!

The children are to blame for the mess they've made.

The two of them got together and discussed it carefully, finally deciding on a ruse.

Then he beat the two boys severely, intending to take them to Li's house to plead for mercy.

Given Li Jia's soft heart, they wouldn't let go of this matter.

After all, every family has children. They're just playing around and making casual bets. How could anyone take it seriously!
