Tao Achun: "My son is only eight years old, he is still a child."

"I'm only fifteen, and my dad also says I'm a child."

Xiaojun's words caused the onlookers to burst into laughter again.

Xue was so angry that she didn't care about her leaky mouth and shouted angrily: "You are bullying me."

"You also know that this is bullying, right? When your son was hitting Tangtang, why didn't you say he was bullying?"

Tao Achun: …

Xue:…

"You only know the pain when you get punched. Don't even think about bullying Tangtang and my Second Aunt again. Remember this: if we two brothers find out that you bully them again, we will arrest your entire family and exile them, even without pardon."

Xiaojun said it lightly, but everyone present could feel the murderous intent emanating from his body.

The two brothers had been to the battlefield, and the murderous atmosphere of having gone through mountains of corpses and seas of blood made the two rich young men who came later quite fearful.

But there is a saying that goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger.

It was also an era where people relied on their fathers to get what they wanted. As long as my father held a high official position, I would be the boss.

The young man in the dark purple robe stepped forward and said, "None of us in the Ning family would dare to say that."

"Ning family? Is it the Ningguo Mansion?" Dajun revealed the main family in one sentence.

The young man in the dark purple gown was slightly stunned. Dajun took out a badge from his waist and handed it to him.

"Prince Rui's Mansion?"

Just by looking at this waist badge, the young man in the dark purple robe immediately guessed the identities of the Dajun brothers.

You know, everyone in the Ye family knew that there were four sons in the Rui Palace. The two oldest were adopted sons, bearing the surname Jiang of the Rui Princess. However, their status was no less than that of the Ye family's own sons.

"Ning Hanwen offended his two cousins."

"Jiang Junhao (Jiang Junjie), meet the Ning family brother."

The three of them exchanged pleasantries in front of everyone, and even said that they would meet and treat each other when they returned home.

Ning Hanwencai took the lead in saying goodbye and led his people away.

After leaving Ping'an Town, the young man in blue asked, "Cousin, who were those two just now? Why are they calling you brothers?"

"Speaking of which, we are all legitimate relatives."

The young man in blue was puzzled. "A real relative? How come I didn't know?"

"They are the two eldest sons of the Rui Palace, and their surname is Jiang, just like the Rui Princess."

"Are they the two adopted sons of King Rui?"

"Yes."

“Seeing is worth hearing a hundred times.”

"Don't underestimate these two. In the eyes of the Ye family, even if we brothers were added together, we probably wouldn't be as important as these two brothers."

"Doesn't the Ning family have the Empress Dowager?"

"The one my great-aunt feels most guilty about is His Royal Highness Prince Rui. The Ye family is also very loyal and righteous. Moreover, these two people just now grew up with the Ye family and even fought on the battlefield together."

“I really can’t tell.”

"Their martial arts were all taught by the Emperor himself. And I heard from my grandfather that Princess Rui also knows martial arts. It is said that her lightness skills are superb, and no one in our Daqian can match her."

"No way? I had the honor of meeting Princess Rui when I was in the capital. At that time, I didn't think she was that great!"

"Is it so difficult that it's written on my face?"

"Then~"

"Alright. These are now matters of the royal family, so the less we talk about them, the better."

"Ok."

...

The Lunar New Year was just around the corner, and the New Year's Eve in Black Rock City was pretty much the same as in previous years. The snow was blanketing the streets, and no one wanted to go to Black Rock City to buy New Year's goods.

It was Jiang Yan who boldly set her sights on the trading mall and bought more than ten promotional gift packages that were characteristic of this era.

Not only did she ask Ye Zhan to deliver it to Uncle Zhou Er, she also asked the families on the other side of the river if they wanted to buy it.

"Of course we have to buy some," Guan was the first to chime in. "Sister, you don't know, but the four of us, the father and son, said it was too cold outside and refused to go to Black Rock City to buy New Year's goods no matter what."

Thinking about her large family, Guan spent ten taels of silver and bought two of the most expensive gift packages.

When others heard the news, they all ran to Zhang's house to see the gift packages opened.

Even though the three Dasheng brothers were too lazy to go to Blackrock City, they were very excited when opening the gift packs. They insisted on opening them and complained that Guan only bought two big gift packs and they were not able to share them.

Guan ignored them and called Xiaodong and Xiaoxi over, "Come, my eldest grandson and my eldest granddaughter will open it."

Xiaodong and Xiaoxi were just waiting for grandma to say something. They were so scared just now, afraid that their father and uncles would snatch away the chance to open the gift package.

"Come on, open it quickly and let me see."

"Hey!" Xiaodong was the older one, so he stretched out his hand and opened the New Year gift bag. There was a "bang", and the New Year gift bag was like a fairy scattering flowers, spraying out glittering colorful candies. The candies were all wrapped in transparent paper, and you could see the color of the candies inside.

Furthermore, these candies all gave off a light candy aroma. Everyone present could smell it, and Guan even picked up one and brought it to her nose, sniffing, "This smells really good."

Xiaodong couldn't resist the temptation of the candy and grabbed a piece and put it in his mouth. Everyone then discovered that the transparent candy wrapper was also edible. It melted when it came into contact with saliva and was as sweet as the candy.

Xiaoxi is a girl and she likes these cute colors the most. She also grabbed a candy and started eating it.

"Hey, my little ancestor, let's not eat yet, open the gift package quickly."

"Yeah." Seeing that his milk was urging him to eat, Xiaodong stretched out his little hand and reached into the gift bag. The first thing he took out was a light oil-paper bag.

Guan took it and opened it. Inside were two characters for "Fu" (meaning "blessings") and two couplets. "Look! These characters for "Fu" are bordered in gold. They look like they represent both joy and prosperity."

"Well said, grandson, hurry up and take it out."

"Hey!"

Xiaodong pulled out another shaky oil-paper bag. Guan opened it and found a piece of red silk cloth with a subtle pattern. The bright red color immediately caught the attention of all three daughters-in-law of the Zhang family.

Guan also realized that she couldn't let go of the red silk for the time being, otherwise the three daughters-in-law would be upset. It was the New Year, and they couldn't be upset.

Zhang Xiaoqi was also getting anxious, wondering what else was inside. Xiaodong also knew what the adults were thinking, so he squatted on the kang, sticking his little butt out, and started to pull out the things one by one.

Zhang Xiaoqi and Guan Shi were helping to open the oil paper package. "Hey, I finally figured this out. It should be delicious."

"You don't need to touch it, I can smell the fragrance, it's roast chicken."

"This looks like a smoked pork elbow, or a whole big one."

"No need to ask, it's a wine jar."

"Hey, what's in this bag? Open it and take a look."
