huān turned to her grandmother and said, "Grandma, when will my brothers be able to attend the academy I'll tell Mr. Pēng about it when I get back."The old woman thought for a moment, then said, "The...She crawled over using her hands and feet, using her grandma's thigh as a pillow, humming and fussing, refusing to get up.

Grandma Li's heart was so warmed she felt it melting. She patted her granddaughter playfully,

"My daughter at home, even though she's the eldest, still clings to grandma like a little child. She doesn't even care what people might think!"

"Let them laugh if they want to, I'm not afraid anyway." Jia Yin burrowed deeper into her grandmother's arms and yawned, "They're just jealous because they don't have a grandma as good as mine!"

Li Laotai smiled with glee, pulling the blanket over her granddaughter and saying, "Good, good! They're just jealous. Jealous that grandma has such a kind and well-behaved granddaughter."

Jia Yin blinked her eyes twice and asked with a smile, "Grandma, do you know what I was busy with last night"

Of course, everyone in the entire new city knows about this.

Li Lao Tai helped her granddaughter tidy up her messy hair. Seeing that her granddaughter seemed a little guilty, she lowered her head and kissed her granddaughter on the cheek, "Silly girl, grandma won't blame you."

"Whoever it was, if they got slapped, you'd have to find a way to fight back!"

"My granddaughter, such a smart and capable child, why should she be bullied She can't just take it! Grandma may be old and useless, but if I were still strong, I would have avenged you long ago!"

"Grandma, you're so great!" Jiayin was overjoyed, snuggling in her grandma's arms. "Woohoo, I must have saved the country in my past life because otherwise, how could I possibly have such a wonderful grandma this lifetime!"

"You silly girl!" Old Li patted her granddaughter lightly and whispered, "Grandma was worried sick last night, afraid you'd kill too many people and ruin your conscience."

"This morning I heard the news, you didn't get hurt at all, grandma's heart is truly filled with pride. "

"My little Fu Niu'er, she is the best child in the world, the kindest little fairy!"

"Of course!" Jia Yin was pleased by the praise, raising her chin in response: "Against those bad guys who want to kill me, I definitely have to fight back."

"But those who guard the granaries, they're nothing but lackeys. Let them live for now!"

"Haha! Yes, spare their dog lives!" Li Laotai laughed heartily, feeling even more reassured.

After a long while of cozying up together, Jia Yin got up and washed her face and changed clothes.

The clothes were picked out by Old Lady Li, a bright red gauze jacket with a large floral skirt, as festive as ever.

Grandma He was skilled and smiled as she attended to the little master, braiding an intricate and elaborate hairstyle.

The headdress was simple, with only two crimson gold hairpins inserted at the back of her head. The red ruby-encrusted flower centers echoed the color of her tunic.

Jia Yin didn't like heavy earrings, so she chose a pair of coral earring studs.

Finally, I put on a pair of jade bangles on my wrists. That's all for the dressing up.

Just a while ago, the little piglet was sleeping so soundly that drool was dripping from its mouth. Now, it's transformed into Li Jia Bao Bei Ge Da (Li Family Treasure), the beloved and envied one by everyone!

Watercloud brought "breakfast and lunch" up with the little girl.

New rice steamed to perfection, a dish of oil-braised shrimp, a tofu casserole, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and a refreshing pickled jellyfish with old vinegar. Plus, a large bowl of nourishing mutton and radish soup for warmth and health.

Jia Yin pulled Grandma down to sit, and then called He Mamá and Shui Ling Shui Yun to eat together.

Grandma He, Shui Ling, and Shui Yun have been with the Li family for several years. They know their masters' personalities too well.

The masters don't care about rules, as long as they don't bring shame upon the family in front of outsiders.

They usually took care of their master, doing their best to fulfill their duties and live up to their responsibilities. In fact, the master didn't really mind their status as servants; most of the time, he treated them like family.

This is also because they are loyal to Li and never slack off.

Such a master, I'm afraid there's none like him in the whole world!

People chatted and laughed as they ate, discussing where to go next. A while later, they decided to visit the greenhouse, picking some fruit and vegetables to take back to their old house.

Just as I put down my chopsticks, Dr. Zhang rushed in like a gust of wind.

This old man hadn't been seen in public for some time. If it weren't for the young servant who delivered meals saying that the old man ate every meal with relish, everyone would have stormed into his courtyard to find him.

At this moment, the old gentleman came to their door on his own accord, and everyone was delighted.

Jia Yin immediately stepped forward and took a closer look, then frowned.

The old man had two large dark circles under his eyes, clearly showing that he had stayed up all night pondering over the medicine recipe.

She immediately complained: "Grandpa Zhang, how old are you! You still act like a young man!"

"Didn't you promise me last time to eat well, sleep well, and not stay up late"

"Tsk, so much talk!" Zhang Shenyi waved his hand dismissively, tossing two bottles into Jia Yin's arms. Then he scooped the remaining rice from the bowl and dumped it into the mutton soup before slurping it down noisily.

"Hold on, big brother," Li Lao Tai quickly interjected. "You can't eat leftovers. Just wait a moment, let Shuiyun make you a bowl of noodles, it'll be ready soon!"

Zhang Shenyi shook his head, nearly as if he was about to choke on it.

He finished quickly, wiped his mouth, and then glared at Jia Yin and scolded, "You're useless! You let someone chase us all the way home to assassinate us!"

"You're so easy to take advantage of in other people's eyes. From now on, don't say I'm your master when you go out, I'm afraid my old face will be disgraced!

"

These two bottles are something I just came up with on a whim, take them!

Inside the red bottle is a colorless and odorless substance. Scoop out a fingernail-sized amount and fling it – whether it’s inhaled or comes into contact with your skin, you’ll be dead within seconds, without even a chance to say goodbye.

The medicine in the white bottle is applied to weapons. A little scratch on the oil skin can be fatal, and once applied, it doesn't need to be reapplied for a month!

"Keep me with you at all times. If you see anyone who displeases you or who does you wrong, poison them for me!"

"If I hear one more time that you've been bullied, I'll poison every single person in Xin Du, and then come back and break your legs!"

With that, the old man let out a heavy hum and then left in a flurry.

Jia Yin clutched the two bottles tightly, her heart burning.

This tsundere old child, never admits defeat with their mouth.

He spent countless nights concocting these two poisons; how could he casually wield them

All this hard work, it's all to protect her from being bullied. He's doing everything he can for his uncaring apprentice!

"Grandpa Zhang, you go home and have a nap. I'll be back tonight to roast lamb legs for you!" Jia Yin shouted as she ran to the door.

Zhang Shenyi didn't turn around, he just waved his hand, and a voice came from the wind, "This is almost it, the dead girl still has a conscience!"

Lao Li couldn't help but chuckle and said, "This big brother, despite how sharp his words may be, is truly a good person to our family!"

"That's right, Grandma. Look at how many people are so kind to me! I'm so happy!" Jia Yin tucked the two bottles into her bosom and happily supported her grandmother toward the warm room, taking a few more vegetables along the way.

The roasted lamb leg is a bit greasy, I should add two more dishes of sour and spicy refreshing side dishes for the old man!

Without mentioning the family was busy slaughtering sheep and tending to the barbecue pit, let's just say that Tao Hongying was out visiting with Mrs. Liu today.

The wife of the Imperial Ministry of Works' Assistant Minister, was Liu Fu's childhood friend before she got married.

After many years as a daughter-in-law, she has become the mistress of the house and now has a grandson. Today, she is holding a lively full moon wine party to celebrate.

Since the Cao family also had a son in the military camp, Liu's wife said a few words to them, and the Cao family happily sent an invitation to Tao Hongying as well.

Mrs. Liu was about the same age as Mrs. Cao, but Mrs. Cao had become a grandmother. Liu's Zhi Min and Xiu Jie were still studying, which was a huge difference.

Mrs. Liu was full of envy and jealousy, which made Mrs. Cao laugh heartily.

But there was still Zhou Fu in the house, that is, Yan Jia's daughter and Li Yong's older sister.

Although she didn't dare to offend the Li family, her face was not good-looking, apparently still harboring resentment towards them because of what happened back then.

Tao Hongying, considering Li Yong's face, didn't want to argue with her, lest it become a spectacle for outsiders.

Then, she went out with Lady Liu to change clothes.

As a result, as soon as the two of them stepped out, they encountered visitors right across the street.

That woman, over half a century old, was dressed in fine attire but her face looked rather pale.

Tao Hongying asked Liu's wife, "Sister-in-law, who is this"

Mrs. Liu's face was stern, and she let out a cold snort...t. He looked just like any other farmer.As soon as the two of them appeared, the elderly women doing needlework under the big tree at the entrance of the village stopped their work and stared at them....
