Chapter 553 Gift
With this person arrested, the complicated situation came to light. After listening to them say a few words, Ayu said she didn't want to listen anymore.

"Let adults handle adult matters. I'm still young. If I have too many complicated things to deal with every day, I won't grow tall." Ayu decisively chose to withdraw.

Why don't you go out for a walk? There are lots of fun places in the city; I've already found some for you.

Tuanzi unconditionally supports Ayu, and even if Ayu doesn't listen, it will secretly eavesdrop.

Now, Tuanzi's surveillance range is as big as a city. It can be said that there is nothing in the entire city that can be kept from it.

As Ayu traveled around studying and lit up more maps, Tuanzi gained a certain understanding of the entire Dachang. Through intelligent calculation, she had grasped the basic situation of the entire country.

This information will become Tuanzi's knowledge base, and Tuanzi will help Ayu when she needs it.

But if Ayu doesn't actively ask for it, Tuanzi will remain silent, because the little one is growing up slowly and shouldn't develop a dependent mentality, lest the little one become unwilling to think and turn into a stupid Ayu.

"Elf, I have an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible," Ayu asked Tuanzi in her mind as she walked in the courtyard.

What are your thoughts?

Just as Ayu was about to speak, she noticed that Qin Huai had also come out. Her eyes lit up, and she ran up to him, saying, "Brother Ayu, I have an idea that I'd like to discuss with you."

Qin Huai casually shook the small cloak he was carrying and draped it over A Yu's shoulders before asking, "Hmm, what are you thinking?"

【…】

The child has grown up, and the child no longer loves him.

Tuanzi felt lonely.

"Elf, let me ask Brother Ayou first, and you can hear if our ideas are right. We'll discuss it again when we get back tonight," Ayu's voice rang out promptly.

【OK!】

The easily coaxed little dumpling has come back to life.

Actually, Ayu's thoughts were also related to what happened today. Qin Huai has many houses, and she was thinking of buying more so that she would have a place to stay when she took her mother and grandmother out to play in the future.

Ayu has never even considered that after she marries Qin Huai, these houses can be used for her family to live in.

She felt that only her own things were things she could use freely.

"Grandma wrote in her letter that the little lamb found a wife, and the little lamb's wife gave birth to three lambs, all of whom are very smart."

Moreover, the lamb's wife was also fed the magic water. Although she couldn't compare to the lamb who grew up drinking the magic water, she was still very intelligent and much more capable than the average lamb.

"You want those sheep to guard the gate?" Qin Huai instantly realized what A Yu was thinking.

“Yes, when the lambs grow up, they can have more lambs, and once they have enough, they can guard the house,” Ayu said. “Each house can house a pair of lambs, and we can hire a servant to look after them. The servant can watch the house, and the lambs can watch the servant, so we don’t have to worry about them doing anything bad!”

Moreover, they also organized patrol teams to supervise the servants from time to time and to replace them at any time. The appointment of servants was not up to them.

In short, it's a very complicated process. Ayu can't figure out the details yet, but she has a general idea of ​​what it entails.

The goal is to replicate a new royal model: people, sheep, houses, and people doing business.

These elements complement each other.

Qin Huai smiled and said, "That's a great idea, Ayu. You're so clever."

When Ayu received the praise, she immediately became happy and tugged at Qin Huai's sleeve to walk out: "Let's keep this idea in mind. I'll go back and tell Grandma, and you go back and tell your mother that we'll all do it."

"Us? You want to buy another house?" Qin Huai understood the implication in his words.

Ayu nodded: "Of course, your house is yours, and our house is ours."

Before Qin Huai's face could turn sour, A Yu clapped her hands again, looking very proud: "In that case, no matter where I go in the future, I'll have two places to stay. We can live together at the Wang family's house, or we can live together at the Qin family's house, just like we are now. Isn't that great?"

Qin Huai's face, which had been clouded with anger, brightened again.

"Yes, you've thought it through."

Ayu's ambitions extended far beyond that. She not only wanted to buy a house, but also a shop, a training ground, and a girls' academy.

She doesn't just want to open one store; she wants to open one in every city.

Considering the number of cities Dachang currently has, this is no small project.

Hearing Ayu's naive words, Qin Huai didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Opening academies, especially so many privately owned ones? That's simply impossible!

Not to mention how huge an expense this is, even if the Wang family earns that much money in the future and can afford to send so many girls to study, there will definitely be people who will try to stop them.

Even if the emperor and empress agreed to let them open an academy, it would still block the way for many people.

"Brother Ayou, do you think my wish can come true?" Ayu's eyes seemed to be filled with stars. The little girl smiled, her eyebrows curving as she looked at her, her longing gaze like a flowing galaxy. "I wish that more girls could leave the village, leave the town, leave the city like me. Even if in the end they still have to return to their own homes, get married and have children, they will be different after reading the books of sages and seeing the beautiful landscapes."

The words Qin Huai was about to say remained unspoken. He also couldn't coax Ayu like a child, telling her that her wish would definitely come true.

So Qin Huai just grunted in agreement, and then Ayu started chattering away.

By this time, they had arrived at a bustling main street, where shops lined the street like a flowing river. In the alleyways designated for street vendors, the cries of vendors filled the air, and there were even more vendors than tourists.

It was a city enveloped in prosperity and wealth—a direct reflection of how the surrounding cities benefited as the prefectural capital grew increasingly wealthy.

Various cases occur in the city of Lingkong every day, and there are even murders every now and then, but for the people living in the city, these are just topics of conversation over tea and dinner, and they don't affect them at all.

People came and went on the street, some driving horse-drawn carriages, some driving donkey carts, some walking silently, and some running hurriedly.

The majority of these people were men, with only a very small number of women. Even the women wore either coarse cloth clothes with many patches or fine silk and satin, with maids and servants following behind them.

Social classes will be clearly distinguished.

Women who are more ordinary, who have never gone hungry but have never been rich, and whose lives are generally simple, are rarely seen.

Is this what Ayu wanted to see?

"Ayu," Qin Huai called out to her.

Ayu had stopped talking, her attention momentarily drawn to the fire-breathing acrobatic performance nearby, and turned around upon hearing this.

The firelight's reflection seemed to linger on her profile.

"I will try my best to help you realize your wish," Qin Huaizhen solemnly agreed.

Ayu grinned, raised her chin, and said confidently, "Of course! Who am I? I'm the most amazing Ayu!"

As Tuanzi told in the story the day before yesterday, with great power comes great responsibility.

She is still young, but she is growing up. Everyone says she is smart and hardworking, and that if she were a boy, she would definitely achieve great things.

But she loved her identity as a woman, loved beautiful clothes, loved beautiful scenery, and loved books by sages and military strategies. She loved everything!
If a woman's status is an obstacle, she will step on it, but she will never crawl through it.

Once one person steps over it, more people will follow suit. Over time, the hole below will be blocked by the obstacle above, and the obstacle above will become a path.

How wonderful!

If others heard this, they would surely laugh at her, calling her an "ignorant fool."

Ayu might not be as motivated.

But Tuanzi said, "Wow, Bao, you're amazing! You can definitely do it!"

Grandma Wang also wrote in the letter: "Ayu, do it with peace of mind, Grandma will help you."

Ayu was full of confidence.

Now that Qin Huai has said the same thing, what reason does Ayu have not to be confident?
So, after they had lunch outside, wandered around, bought a cartload of things, and returned to the Qin family, both sides were shocked when they compared information.

Wang Wulang spoke first: "My God, you have no idea, we've caught a big fish! There used to be two Xingfeng Towers, one was infiltrated by the government, but it was destroyed. The other was built by Jianghu figures in collusion with outside forces, and we've captured one of their leaders!"

This is truly earth-shattering news; I never expected Wang Wulang to say it so casually.

Ayu wasn't very interested in that, so she took out a key and handed it to Wang Wulang: "Fifth Brother, your birthday is coming soon, here's a birthday present for you."

Wang Wulang picked up the key and looked at it: "What is this?"

“When we were shopping, we saw a security escort agency for sale, so we bought it.” Ayu grinned. “Didn’t you want to be a general? Brother Ayou said it would be good to have a security escort agency to practice first.”

Wang Wulang: "!!!"

The key in his hand suddenly felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.

My goodness, how much does this cost?!
Knowing that he spent so much of Ayu's sister's money, will he still be able to keep his backside after he goes home?

Upon witnessing this scene, Wang Sanlang and Wang Qilang snapped out of their daze, feeling a mixture of envy and sympathy.

They weren't jealous; Ayu could use her sister's money however she wanted.

Just like the money in their hands, the elders no longer questioned its origin.

Unexpectedly, Ayu opened her palm again, and there were two keys lying there.

"Third brother, seventh brother, although your birthdays haven't arrived yet, but—"

Unexpectedly, before Ayu could finish speaking, both Wang Sanlang and Wang Qilang took a big step back.

Wait, wait, wait! I can't accept Ayu's gift!
