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

The Yan family had a sumptuous dinner.

The huge dining table was filled with plates of food, with a wide variety of dishes, many of which the Lin family couldn't even name.

"Please sit down, everyone. I have been taken care of by your family during the past month, but I have never thanked you in person. This meal tonight is not only a farewell party for me, but also a way of thanking your family." The queen was wearing a fine cotton lotus color plain silk dress, with her hair tied up in a bun without any hair accessories. She looked like she had walked down from a high platform in this outfit, which brought her closer to the Lin family.

The Lin family members were not shy and sat down while chatting and laughing.

"I heard from Madam Du that only the Madam will go back this time, so the young master will stay here?" There is no rule of not talking while eating in the countryside, and Mrs. Lin is used to finding topics to chat while eating.

"Yes." The Queen did not deny it. After a pause, she sighed, "Although I also want to be with my child, I can't help it. Sometimes I envy you. Your family is harmonious, the brothers are friendly and respectful, and you are united in everything you do. But my family is big and there are all kinds of monsters and demons. If I don't go back to calm down, I'm afraid that when Qing'er goes back, there will be no place to stand."

She briefly mentioned these things and passed them by, then smiled and said, "Before leaving, I wanted to pay your family a sum of money to thank you for your help, but Qing'er stopped me. He said that the Lin family is different from others. If you care about money, you won't bring the villagers to grow Baixiangcao together. He also doesn't want the relationship between us to become a buyer-seller relationship. I thought about it and it was true. Why not thank you in other ways.

"Mo Yi is our family's bodyguard. He is good at boxing and kicking. He usually teaches Qing'er martial arts. If Bai'er and Song'er are interested, they can come and listen to his teachings.

"Also, I know you plan to send your kids to school, so I can send them to any academy you like.

"After a while, Qing'er's teacher will arrive. You may want him to teach the children, but I can't make the decision on this matter. You have to find a way to impress him whether he is willing to teach or not."

The Lin family didn't even have a chance to interrupt, and all they did for the rest of the time was nod their heads hurriedly.

They were overjoyed when looking at each other.

Country kids rarely have the opportunity to learn martial arts, so the gift that Mrs. Yan gave them in return was a big surprise.

As for the children's schooling, their family doesn't dare to think about it for the time being. They just want to let the children study in a private school for a few years. If the children work well and they are willing to continue studying, it will not be too late to choose an academy then.

You can't become fat if you eat too much.

A meal where both guest and host enjoy themselves.

After dinner, it was getting late, so the Lin family said goodbye and went home.

The queen specially kept Jia Banxian to talk to him alone.

On a country night, the moon is exceptionally bright, and the sky is filled with stars that seem within reach.

The incessant chirping of insects is also a unique feature of the countryside.

"Madam, I am just a fortune teller. What do you have to say to me?" Jia Banxian listened to the chirping of insects and smiled. "If you want to ask me for money for food and lodging, I can't. I don't have any money. But for my contribution in finding the ancient star, it shouldn't be a problem for me to stay here for as long as I want, right? I just want this reward, nothing else."

"Sir, you are joking again. You can stay here as long as you want. I just want to ask for a safe place for Qing'er before I leave. Only you can do this." The queen looked at the bald Taoist priest and said sincerely, "Yan Lan will definitely remember your kindness."

"Hey, what are you saying? I'm going to tell you the truth. I can't get you this even if you ask me for help."

Jia Banxian was really impatient to talk to people in such a serious manner, so he stood up, shook his Taoist robe, walked out with his hands behind his back, and said something meaningful before leaving.

"Madam, instead of begging me, you should let the young master drink more Baixiang Tea. Although he has taken Ancient Star, it can only suppress the exhaustion in his body, but cannot make him better and recover. Only the healing effect of Baixiang Tea can make up for the deficiency of Ancient Star."

The queen watched the old Taoist slowly leave. After a moment, she stood up and bowed to him, suppressing her excitement and saying, "Thank you for your guidance, sir!"

……

In the middle room of the Lin family, an oil lamp was placed on the table, and the dim yellow light diffused in the room.

Mrs. Lin fetched some hot water and washed her husband's hands and feet, while chattering about family matters.

"Mrs. Yan will leave tomorrow. Madam Du and Doctor Yu will stay here with their young master. Thanks to them, you can continue giving acupuncture."

"How are you feeling today? Is your back itchy?"

"Thank goodness I massaged your hands and feet so much in the past. Otherwise, when you get better, your legs would have shriveled up like bones and you wouldn't be able to walk."

Old Man Lin laughed. His face lit up when he thought about the day he would stand up again. "My spine is a little itchy. You can scratch it for me later. When I am better, you can see. Give me a hoe and I can start farming right away. I will take care of the seven acres of land we just opened up. I will show you what a master is like!"

"I'll give you a slap in the face, but you're still lying here thinking about getting a hoe." Mrs. Lin snorted.

Bai Xiang curled up on the edge of the bed, listening to his father and grandma bickering, giggling non-stop, his little hands even busier than his grandma's.

After a while, a small ball as green as jadeite condensed and was quietly thrown under grandpa's nose.

The little girl had no idea that she had already been exposed in front of her family. She took advantage of the fact that no one else could see the ball she threw, and played this trick at home with impunity.

Mrs. Lin and Old Man Lin noticed her little action and their eyelids twitched.

This little girl is getting bolder and bolder. She used to hide whatever she did, but now she doesn't think about it at all and just keeps spinning her little hands like a flower.

The two elders really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

It would be fine if I did this at home, but what if I did this outside and someone found out?

"Xiangbao, hey, what are you doing waving your little hands around?" The old couple exchanged glances, and finally Old Man Lin spoke.

I thought that by asking this question, the little girl would be alert.

Who knows that the child smiled and said, "Grandpa and grandma, my hands are sore. Brother Changqing said that if I shake them like this, they will stop being sore soon!"

"..."

"!!!"

"You also shake your hands like this in front of Young Master Yan?"

Bai Xiang nodded, "Yes!"

Brother Changqing is in poor health, so she feeds him more green balls so that he will have the energy to play with her.

The two old men were so frightened that they wanted to curl up.

After sending the baby back to the opposite room and coaxing him to sleep, Mrs. Lin returned to her room and closed the door, worried, "Old man, do you think the young master of the Yan family noticed it? Otherwise, why would he teach Bai Xiang like this?"

My hands are sore, so I shake them. This reason is very legitimate and people who don’t know the truth will not doubt it too much.

Old Man Lin pondered, "It's hard to say. But whether he noticed something was wrong or not, being able to teach Bai Xiang like this is also a kind of protection for Bai Xiang. A young man from a wealthy family has a cunning mind and can't be underestimated. Things have come to this, we can only keep an eye on Bai Xiang to prevent her from revealing herself in front of more people."

Mrs. Lin was helpless. "It can only be done this way. Fortunately, I think Madam Du and Doctor Yu don't seem to know about it... The young master of the Yan family may not have told anyone about Bai Xiang's secret."

After that, she turned her husband over, tucked in the quilt, and turned to walk out. "You go to sleep first. Sulan and Cui'e are frying tea leaves in the kitchen. I'll go help them and bring some back as a gift for Madam Yan tomorrow."

There is nothing good at home that I can give away, and the only thing I can give as a gift is Baixiang tea.

Fortunately, the angelica in my yard grows fast even if I use it a lot.

Pinch off one crop and a new one will grow in a few days, enough for your own use.

That night, the fire in the Lin family's kitchen flickered and jumped, and it didn't go out until midnight.

At dawn, the roosters raised by the farmers in the village crowed.

Its daybreak.
