ter dinner, when accompanying his grandmother in conversation, he would ask a few questions.Hearing that so many things happened today, Jiarren was also surprised. In the end, he said: "Grandma, there...The woman's voice, low and soft, suddenly dawned on her as she said: "Yes, I had forgotten about that."
The day before yesterday, I heard at the jewelry shop that Li's boy might be beheaded. He killed a grand uncle!
Although the Wu family has fallen out of favor with the Emperor, as long as the Empress hasn't been deposed, the Emperor should still have some consideration for her.
"That's right, the Li family is simply too arrogant. A severe punishment is necessary to appease the public outrage! I reckon that even without beheading, an eye for an eye, they should at least be sentenced to twenty years of hard labor."
A sharp-tongued woman, her voice dripping with schadenfreude.
Jia Yin frowned upon hearing this, Bao Zhu was also indignant, the two stood up and were about to go see what was happening, Shui Ling even rolled up her sleeves, ready to fight.
But at that moment, a familiar voice spoke up: "Well, I haven't left the house in a few days, so I've been out of touch. When did the magistrate of Jingzhao Prefecture get replaced by Yao Jia's daughter-in-law"
Precious Pearl, with a joyful expression, silently mouthed to Jia Yin, "Your mother..."
Before the voice of a good answer could be heard, another familiar voice rang out, "Yeah, I'm also puzzled by this. After all, I haven't heard anything about a replacement!"
"Someone must be thick-skinned, treating themselves like a big shot!"
Jia Yin covered her mouth and smiled, replying to Bao Zhu, "Your mother!"
Bao Zhu hugged Jia Yin, the two of them snickered and quickly listened to the opera.
As expected, the two women were not satisfied.
A sharp-voiced woman, who happened to be the daughter-in-law of the Yao family, exclaimed, “In broad daylight, you dare eavesdrop on other people’s conversations, it’s simply too rude!”
Tao Hongying responded without yielding, coldly smiling and saying: "You all know it's broad daylight, yet you're still gossiping behind my back. Do you really think this place is your Yao family's doorstep!"
"Another penalty for you! Do you know which way the gate of the Jingzhao Mansion opens It's really windy, aren't you afraid your tongues will get blown away!"
The woman's low voice seemed to want to appease the situation. "Mrs. Li Si, we're just discussing this matter. After all, your son killed someone on the street—that's a fact. We haven't falsely accused you."
"Hmph, don't think that just because you trimmed the edges, you can pretend to be a good person!" Jia Erfu immediately retorted sarcastically: "The young master of the Li family is in jail, but whether he is guilty and how he should be punished is up to the Emperor to decide!"
"You, a gossipy and meddling woman, come here to point fingers and dictate punishments! Who gave you the nerve"
"Does your husband, your mother-in-law, know about your abilities Shall we go to your house and ask them"
The low-voiced woman seemed frightened, and didn't speak again.
But the sharp-tongued woman from the Yao family was still unconvinced and retorted, "Why can't we say it If your son dared to commit murder, we have the right to speak up!"
"This is Xindu, this matter is also an Xindu affair, what's wrong with us saying a few words"
"Well, well, so you're saying that anything new in the city is your business now" Tao Hongying snorted. "Then let me ask you, do you live by the sea That's probably why you've always been such a busybody."
"Next time, remember to stop anyone coming to your back door to collect night jasmine again!"
The sharp-voiced Mrs. Yao, obviously not very intelligent, actually asked a question, "Why are you stopping"
"Because..." Tao Hongying said a few words in a very low voice, only Mrs. Yao could hear clearly.
"You, you..." Her face turned pale with anger. She wanted to scold him, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she felt nauseous and couldn't speak.
The low-voiced woman was terrified and quickly called for help.
Nobody heard the story behind it. All they saw was the woman from the Yao family dry heaving, and they thought she was pregnant with a pearl—she was almost forty years old, and about to have a child again…
Jia Yin and Bao Zhu sat together, from beginning to end, laughing uncontrollably.
Shui Ling was even more amused, clutching her stomach as she laughed.
"Your mom is amazing!" Baozhu gave Jiayin a thumbs up with both hands, her eyes full of admiration.
Of course, she wanted even more to know what that last phrase she hadn't heard was!
Then, she pleaded with Jiayin, "Jiayin elder sister, you must know, please tell me, what should I do to stop the night-blooming jasmine"
Of course Jia Yin wouldn't say, but Bao Zhu insisted on pressing for the truth.
The two burst into laughter, and Tao Hongying and Jia Er's wife came over when they heard the commotion.
Baozhu shrank her neck and didn't dare to ask any more.
Jia Yin was also not eager to stay any longer. After all, her mother's combat strength was overwhelming, and she didn't need Jia Yin's protection. It would be better to go about her own business sooner.
The treasure bead naturally has to go in and out with Jia Yin.
Two people brought water spirit and water cloud, they got on Li's carriage, and soon arrived at White Cloud Realm.
In the cloud-filled sky, Baiyunjian continues to thrive. Recently, two new desserts have been added to the menu. The main hall is bustling with customers, and all the private rooms on the second floor are fully booked.
Bao Zhu just ate and drank, happy as a mouse who had fallen into a bowl of noodles.
Jia Yin went to the roasting house to check on things, flipped through the accounts, inquired about Peng Chuan's recent situation, and then went to the new shop.
Guli and his team have been working here for seven or eight days. They have demolished everything that needed to be demolished, and what needs to be built is already under construction.
Jia Yin drew a very detailed design, but the actual implementation still had quite a bit of discrepancy.
Kuli finally got his hands on his master and brought out all the questions he had.
The two of them checked upstairs and downstairs, measuring the courtyard inside and out. They were busy for most of a time.
Gu Li was satisfied as she put away the blueprints, her curiosity growing even stronger.
Although he didn't know much about the county lord's life, he knew that she had never studied architecture and had never been to the new capital.
These fruit stalls and wine shops seem as though the county princess had personally seen them.
Some of the arrangements, she didn't even know how to realize, she just intuitively depicted what she saw.
That feeling was really strange and eerie...
Jia Yin didn't know how much more mysterious she had become in Gu Li's eyes, but with her stomach rumbling, she grabbed Bao Zhu and got on the carriage. She snatched a few snacks from her and then arrived at Xianke Lai.
The front door was too crowded with diners, so Ye Shan parked his carriage at the back door.
Jiāhuān, hearing that her little sister had arrived, was overjoyed. Holding a shovel in her hand, she ran out to greet them, saying, "Sister, did you come with Bǎozhū to go shopping How did you both end up together"
Jia Yin quickly said, “No, second brother. We went to the Gou family banquet and left early because we were impatient.”
She then asked, "Is the meal for Third Brother ready"
Jia Huan laughed and said, "There's just one dish missing. In fact, most of it is for those prison guards, Jia Yi can't eat much."
Jia Yin said, "I brought three catties of spicy meat jerky. I'll have someone send it to Third Brother later."
After thinking for a moment, she added, "Third brother likes to eat my fried eggplant. Second brother, could you spare a burner for me I'll fry up a plate for Third brother and take it over."
"Alright, I'll have someone prepare the ingredients. You put on an apron." Jia Huan didn't stop him and then went back to the kitchen.
Jia Yin settled Bao Zhu in a private room and ordered more fried tobacco. When the servants went to the Jingzhao Mansion to fetch lunch, Jia Yin and Bao Zhu also ate their midday meal.
Ye Shan, Mu Xu, as well as Shui Ling and Shui Yun had a separate table next to them.
Jia Huan ate a few bites with his two younger sisters before going back to work.
This is lunchtime, the busiest time of day. No delays are allowed.
After dinner, Jiayin sent the round-bellied Baobao back to Jia's house and then went to the Hou Mansion to pick up a package for Dongmei before heading home.
Just after walking three or five li, the sound of horseshoes and billowing smoke suddenly appeared at the end of the official road!
Waterling and Watercloud were startled. They were about to open the window to take a look, but Jia Yin happily pushed the car door open instead...
Three updates are offered ~~ been set up in the main hall.Steaming dumplings, like plump little pigs, lay lazily in the dish, incredibly tempting.All members of the Li family, young and old, were present. Along with them were D...
