The little Fubao in the deserted village made all the dignitaries in the court go crazy with envy

"Look at your expressions. Are you looking down on the children?"

"Can the gifts we bring to everyone be ordinary things? I, Jin Duobao, don't even look at ordinary things!"

"Hey, listen carefully! Do you know where these things came from? The Imperial Palace! The two sacks of mud, rocks, and leaves were all collected by Xiaosong and Xiaobai from the Imperial Palace!"

"Look at this mud! It was dug from the imperial garden of the palace! This is the mud that the emperor stepped on!"

"Look at these leaves. They are the emperor's favorite spring orchid leaves! The prince picked them for us personally. He filled half a bag with them. The spring orchid was almost plucked bald!"

"And this stone! The Yuhua Stone beside the Lotus Lake in the Imperial Garden! It's older than the oldest grandfather in our village! It's an antique passed down from the previous emperor's generation!"

The villagers' expressions changed from weird to astonished in the blink of an eye.

Granny Li picked up the wooden basin under the eaves of the Lin family's corridor and rushed to the sack, not caring about the little grandson who was screaming at her feet. "I'll get a basin first and take it back to spread it in the yard! From now on, my Li family will also be a family with dragon energy!"

With her as an example, everything that could be held in the Lin family, including bamboo baskets, dustpans, small sieves, and dog bowls... were all taken away and "borrowed", leaving the two large sacks not enough to share.

In order to fight for a handful of soil, the villagers even fought with their own people.

Mrs. Li was holding the largest basin in her hand, which contained the most things... but it was too eye-catching, so seven or eight out of ten things were snatched away.

The old woman was so angry that she yelled, "Why are you robbing me so openly? The quicker the better! If you rob me again, I'll be angry with you!"

"Hahaha, Aunt Li, you also said that we all want to get some dragon energy. We won't be polite to you now!"

"It's worthy of being something from the palace! Look carefully, this mud is different from the mud in our village! It's extra fertile! And these spring orchid leaves, even when they're dry, are still prettier than the fallen leaves outside!"

"Isn't that nonsense? To be disrespectful, the chamber pots used by the emperor are all fragrant! Hey, give me two pieces of Yuhua Stone, I'll take them back to the children to ward off evil spirits!"

After a scramble, the gifts were divided up cleanly.

The villagers snatched away all the sacks, fearing that the mud and powder in the sacks would be wasted, as those were things that carried dragon energy.

The children were amazed at the villagers' fighting ability and it opened their eyes.

Lin Erhe and Zhang Cui'e also rushed back from the medicinal fields, and Lin Jiang brought back the children's favorite braised pork from the canteen.

After a noisy and bustling afternoon, the villagers went home and the Lin family courtyard finally became quiet.

In the kitchen, the women washed their hands and cooked soup. The sounds of lighting the fire and cooking revealed a peaceful atmosphere.

The setting sun in the sky is picturesque, accompanying the joy of the fireworks.

Bai Xiang sat in the yard of his home with a small stool. He felt that everything was beautiful and he liked it everything.

She had been to big provincial cities like Yuanzhou, to the most prosperous Changjing, and to the palace where the emperor lived.

I have gained a lot of knowledge and realized how prosperous the outside world is.

Her favorite place is home.

Just this small courtyard.

A lot of people gathered together, and you could see the smiling faces of your family members after walking a few steps, and you could start talking and chatting as soon as you opened your mouth.

Not empty, not lonely.

The warmest.

The most down-to-earth.

"My grandparents, my father and my mother will come over to have dinner together later. Uncle Lin went to invite Grandpa Xu and Bald Grandpa next door. Hehe, dinner tonight will be lively again!"

Jin Duobao also brought a small stool out from the kitchen, sat next to the little girl, and watched the sunset with her chin in her hand. "You were sitting here quietly by yourself just now, what were you thinking about?"

Bai Xiang looked at the setting sun, which was suddenly red in the evening glow, and said with a squinting eye, "I'm missing home."

"...Lin Baixiang, you learned this from Yan Changqing, right? Speak properly! Don't say anything too profound, Brother Duobao won't understand!"

"I'm just missing home, hahaha!"

Jin Duobao wanted to pretend to be angry, but he couldn't.

He couldn't get angry at Sister Baixiang at all, ugh!

"The Mavericks are coming over to play with us after dinner. Shall we play hide and seek?"

"Okay."

"Okay, it's settled! I'm going home first. I've been busy distributing presents today and haven't told my dad about how great my trip to Changjing was! I have to show off to him!"

After giving the instructions, the little fat boy ran home in a hurry.

He had been to Changjing and entered the palace at such a young age, but his father had not.

Wouldn’t you like to piss off the old guy? Haha!

Dinner at the Lin family was lively again, with the dining table crowded with people.

Many interesting things happened during the trip to Changjing, and Lin Dashan had to tell his family about them. With Jin Duobao making jokes, the laughter never stopped.

Shennv Mountain stands quietly in the night, silently guarding this small village.

The sun sets and the moon rises, and the sky is filled with stars.

The fragrance of the herb fills the courtyard.

"When you go to Changjing, there are many things happening in the village. Old Xu has taken on seven or eight cases recently. The farthest he went to was in Liangzhou. His reputation is so great that even the local officials are afraid of him."

"Master Jia set up a stall in the town to tell people's fortunes. He just made up stories and made people angry. If they asked him to pay for the Baixiang Tea, they would be asked to pay for it."

"After the expansion, the workshop quickly stabilized and everything went smoothly. Many small local workshops began to seek cooperation... If the supply of Hundred Herbs is sufficient, I plan to hand over some processes to trusted workshops starting next year."

"I used to think that the title of an imperial merchant was enough to satisfy me and was prestigious enough. But when I really became an imperial merchant, I realized that the burden on my shoulders was not small. When I acted, I subconsciously thought about the overall situation first and what would benefit Da Rui first."

"By the way, I heard that the emperor tried every means to keep Mr. Xiao when he returned this time? If you leave, the expedition to the Bo Mansion will not be able to take care of the matter. There are not many generals in the court who can be counted."

The gentlemen sat together and talked about family and national affairs.

The women sat together, talking about current gossip and trivial matters.

Topics that are completely different from each other are brought together in a strangely harmonious and warm atmosphere.

As the night deepened, the excitement here gradually died down.

All the people slept soundly all night and had sweet dreams.

When I woke up after a good sleep, sunlight was already shining through the window.

He jumped out of bed, put on his clothes and shoes, and walked out.

In the yard, the housewives were busy with daily household chores.

Zhang Cui'e hung the washed clothes on the bamboo poles on the porch eaves. "When I was washing clothes by the river, I told everyone I met that my sister-in-law should be called Xiao Xingwei from now on, not Li Sulan! She should have used her original name long ago, and not let the old Li family over there take advantage of her for nothing."

Xiao Xingwei added firewood to the stove to cook porridge, then came out to help hang a piece of clothes on the stove, jokingly saying, "Then I'll make you a big bowl of porridge with more ingredients as a reward."

"Hey, I'm not so easy to please now. There's no shortage of eggs, fish and meat at home, so I don't crave them anymore, hahaha!" Zhang Cui'e laughed a few times and lowered her voice, "Are you not going to pursue the Li family over there?"

"It's hard to judge the merits and demerits of what happened back then, so let it be. Although they treated me badly, it was because they picked me up that I was able to be reunited with my parents... Let's not talk about this anymore. You look so happy, and the sadness in your eyes can't be suppressed at all. What's bothering you?"

Zhang Cui'e was stunned and turned her head away to avoid her sister-in-law's sight.
