Chapter 330： Brother and sister's little secret

Chapter 330 The little secret of the brother and sister

“Fu Niu, please thank your adoptive father for taking so much trouble to arrange for you.” The old lady sighed and patted her granddaughter on the shoulder.

Of course Jiayin knew the deep meaning of her adoptive father's arrangement for her. If he hadn't thought carefully about it for her, he wouldn't have been able to think of such a way to hide it from both sides.

There are also these three people, a nun who came from the palace, and a maid who has been practicing martial arts since childhood. You don't need to guess, you know that these three people must be a type of secret guard with a special status.

The adoptive father somehow begged the emperor to get her out, just to protect her.

Jiayin knelt down directly and said, "Thank you so much, foster father."

The Marquis picked her up with his own hands, touched her soft little hair, and said with a smile: "You're welcome, we are one family."

“Yes, we are a family.” Jiayin nodded heavily and smiled with his eyes crooked.

 The adoptive father never expected anything in return from her. What he liked and valued more was the word "family".

Everyone laughed and chatted a few more words, and for some reason they talked about Li Zhensheng, who had not come back yet.

The Marquis said: "I will send someone to the south to greet you tomorrow. I estimate the time and we should not be far from the capital."

"Okay," the old lady was also happy, "Originally I wanted the fourth child to go, but I couldn't bear the thought of him going out for a run just after he came back."

"Don't worry, Auntie, there are all idle people in the Hou Mansion. I'll just let the housekeeper make arrangements." Mr. Hou comforted him.

The old lady was full of praise for the enthusiastic and thoughtful housekeeper, "The housekeeper is a good person. He delivers things to our house every now and then. I heard that Fu Niu had a birthday before, so he even specially sent some silks, satin, chicken, fish, meat and eggs. I I told him to come for dinner today, but he can’t leave. When you go back, help me bring him some food as a thank you gift.”

“Okay, Auntie.” Mr. Hou responded.

While we were talking and laughing, the sun finally set completely on the top of the western mountain, the rays of light faded little by little, and night fell.

Everyone dispersed, each washed and rested.

Jiayin was anxious to ask her adoptive father, Zhuangzi, about the details of the manpower, and told her grandma that she would stay next door for one night.

As a result, before she could get out of the hospital, she saw Jia Huan walking in circles in the courtyard. She ran over and hugged her brother's leg, "Brother, why don't you go to bed? Are you tired from cooking today?"

Jia Huan knelt down, knelt on one knee, held her sister on his lap and sat down, smiling with an honest look on her face, "Today is our little Fu Niu's birthday, and my brother hasn't given you a gift yet."

“Give it away!” Fu Niu tilted her little head, smiled and kissed her brother on the face, “Brother made a lot of dishes, they are very delicious!”

Jia Huan blushed and hugged her sister gently, "Our Fu Niu is such a good child."

After saying that, he took out a small lock from his arms.

It’s hard to see clearly at night, but the bright red color is very dazzling, and there seems to be pearls strung in the middle, which is very delicate.

"This is for you, Fu Niu. My brother hopes that you will be safe and happy throughout your life."

“Thank you, brother!” Jiayin put her hands together and hugged her brother with a smile, “It’s so beautiful, Fu Niu will wear it well!”

Jia Huan's face turned even redder, and he patted his sister's back gently, and begged her in a low voice, "Fu Niu, your family asked you where this hair came from, could you not say it was from me?"

Jiayin guessed that this lock of hair was very valuable, and her brother didn’t want his family to know that he was frugally buying this thing, so he quickly nodded in agreement, “Okay, brother, don’t worry, Fu Niu won’t tell.”

Jia Huan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and felt more at ease.

Although my sister is young, the brothers in the family all know that my sister is very smart, and they will definitely do it if they promise.

"Are you going to the next door? Brother is carrying you on his back. It's dark, so don't fall." "Okay, thank you, brother." Jiayin happily climbed onto his brother's back, and the lock in his hand was right on Jia Huan's chest. Dangling back and forth made him smile even more brightly.

Dongmei happened to come out of the house. When she saw the brothers and sisters coming, she smiled and said, "The Marquis was asking me to pick up the young lady. If I didn't want to, the young lady came over."

As she spoke, she hugged the good news.

Jia Huan rubbed his sister's hair, then said goodbye and went back.

Dongmei couldn't help but said to Jiayin, "Fu Niu is so lucky. All your brothers love you very much."

“Of course, Fu Niu’s brother is the best!” Jiayin responded with a smile, and hid the hair in the space with her backhand.

Mr. Hou was sitting at the kang table, looking through some documents.

The night wind blew in through the half-open window, shaking the candlelight and distorting the shadow reflected on the wall.

As soon as he got on the kang, he crawled over and sat in his adoptive father's arms, and put the book down. "My adopted father doesn't read, and grandma said that my eyes hurt when I read at night."

Mr. Hou found it funny, but he still responded: "I won't read it in the future, but I'm here to help you read it tonight."

As he spoke, he pulled up an account book and said: "The Zhuangzi I just gave you is the property of my mother's family, and it is also managed by my mother's family's servants. I didn't pay attention to it before, but now I find that the account books are backlogged. I've kept it for seven or eight years, and I'll give it to you when it's sorted out.

"There are also about a hundred people in Zhuangzi. They are men, women, old and young. They all have some skills. What they are good at is also written down and taught to you. In the future, if you want to make something useful or want to recruit people, you will have an idea. ”

Jiayin was stunned for a moment. She originally thought it would be a good idea to have a farm where she could smuggle things out of space.

Who would have thought that his adoptive father would not only give him a Zhuangzi, but also a large logistics team!

“Father…” She wanted to say that this was too expensive and too troublesome.

But the Marquis rubbed Jiayin's little head dotingly and didn't give her a chance to speak, "Don't be burdened by Fu Niu. You are my daughter. These things will belong to you sooner or later. Now I will give them to you early. Once I have something good, I feel more at ease.”

“Father!” Jiayin frowned and pursed her lips. She especially didn’t like the way her foster father was always ready to die in battle.

The Marquis smiled in a flattering manner and quickly comforted the angry little girl, "My foster father was wrong. I won't say it again, okay?"

After saying that, he spread out the account book again so that the little girl could see it clearly, but he sighed deeply in his heart.

Children are still young, so they don’t know that things in the world are impermanent.

No one can predict the accident and who will come first tomorrow, not to mention that he is still a military prince. It is normal for him to lick blood from his knife edge and hang his head on his belt.

He was able to return safely from this expedition, thanks to Li Laosi and Li Yong who sacrificed their lives to save him several times. Even so, he was still hit by two arrows in the arm, and Li Laosi and Li Yong also had five or six stab wounds on their bodies.

Of course, they must not talk to their family about this, but it also strengthened his determination to hand over all the power of the mother clan to the little girl as soon as possible, and urged her to take control of these powers as soon as possible.

If he is really unlucky and he dies early in the battle, the Li family has contributed to the food donation, Li Zhensheng is doing business to make money, Li Laosi has also established a foothold in the army, plus Wen Yushi and the Liu family, The Cui family helps, and at least no one in the Li family dares to bully...

Jiayin didn’t know that her adoptive father had planned so far-reaching plans for her and her family. She was just surprised that what was recorded in the account book was that Zhuangzi’s background was unexpectedly deep...

This small village a hundred miles away has only 200 acres of land and more than 100 employees. However, it also runs a carpentry shop, a snack shop, and a grocery shop outside.

Although the three shops are not big, their profits are very good. It is obvious that they have accumulated a good reputation over time.

No wonder, the foster father did not interfere for many years, because Zhuangzi could run smoothly without his intervention at all!
