Chapter 506: Prince? Prince Yong?
"Master, you're overthinking it. Maybe this is for you." Xiao Jin's eyes flickered, and he immediately changed the subject: "Master, look, there are still 20 attribute points. So, there are 50 points in total. If each little master adds 10 points, there will be 10 points left. So, our mission is accomplished!"
Wenjiu didn't get angry with himself. After all, he got a lot of things, so he was very happy about this wave.
"I'll add the children's attributes first."
As he spoke, Wenjiu added 10 points to each child's attribute value on the children's attribute interface.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the first stage of the task of raising other people's children. The reward is 365 days of life value. The remaining life value is 909 days. Please keep up the good work.]
Upon hearing this news, Wenjiu excitedly imitated Wangcai's behavior and ran around in the space. Then he hugged Xiaojin and kissed him on the face. "That's great! I finally have more than 900 days of life value. Jin, you don't have to worry about life value for the next two years!"
Wenjiu's pregnancy had cost her five health points per day, and with Fourth Master often busy and absent, her daily tasks were often interrupted. She worried she wouldn't have enough health points to lose. Unexpectedly, after all this time, she'd actually managed to maintain her health. Add to that the completion of the children's attribute tasks, and she felt like she'd suddenly become wealthy.
It seems that it won't be long before the baby is born, and then her life will be better.
"Last time, I only exchanged for a flashlight and a gun, so I had three cards left. Now, I've redeemed six cards. I also got a rare black iron. This black iron can be used to upgrade any spiritual weapon, which is also very rare. Master, I really made a profit this time!"
Xiao Jin packed his luggage with a smile on his face.
Wen Jiu's gaze fell on her space, and he said, "Xiao Jin, do you feel that this space has become a little bigger now?"
Xiao Jin smiled and nodded: "Of course, the more life the master has, the more energy he can give to the Dao space, and the space will naturally be larger."
Wen Jiu couldn't help laughing after hearing this, but then he realized something was wrong: "Xiao Jin, you knew everything, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Xiao Jin was stunned: "Huh? How did I suddenly know..."
Touching his head in confusion, his brows furrowed tightly, "I feel like I've known this for a long time, but I couldn't remember it even before.
Perhaps... Master, your health is higher? As the spirit of the space, I may have benefited from it, so my mind is clearer. Master, don't you think I've grown a lot recently?"
Wenjiu looked towards Xiaojin and couldn't help nodding: "If you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have noticed it. It's really a bit higher."
"Master, you must keep working hard. We all rely on you!"
Wenjiu patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
Then he gave the remaining ten attribute points to each child, adding two, and kept the remaining two for himself.
Seeing that the children's attributes were all 12, plus their luck value which had already reached 39, and her own attributes which had increased by two points, she suddenly felt more relieved.
He immediately started to work with Xiao Jin with full energy. A new batch of fruits and vegetables came out of the space and they had to be collected in time.
Wen Jiu saw that the work was done, and he couldn't bear it any longer, so he went to sleep again.
Pregnancy is really different from the past. Even in space, I feel cramped.
The next morning, when I woke up refreshed, it was already noon.
As soon as Wenjiu woke up, he felt that his body was extremely sticky. Upon closer inspection, he was found to be covered in black mud. He couldn't even sleep on the bed.
I took a shower without stopping and asked someone to change the bedding, which made me feel a little more comfortable.
"Miss, Madam Xie and Madam Gui have been waiting for some time. Would you like to meet her now?" Liusu said.
Wen Jiu was stunned: "What's wrong with them?"
Liusu nodded, pouring a bowl of chicken congee for Wenjiu while she spoke, "Young lady, you don't know yet, do you? The Emperor has promoted our Lord Beile to a higher rank. Now, he's a Prince of a County, and has been given the character Yong. This morning, Eunuch Su came to announce the good news, but seeing you weren't up, he went back to serve you. He also said, 'The Master said you'd still be in charge of the banquet in three days, with the two maids assisting.'"
"Prince? Prince Yong?" Wenjiu was surprised. He remembered correctly that in history, the Fourth Master was directly conferred the title of Prince during the later years of Emperor Kangxi's reign, right?
Was he also a prince?
Liusu couldn't help but smile when she heard this. "Yes, this time the Emperor has given our Master a single gift. Now everyone is saying that our Master is young and promising. Some officials have even sent him gifts today."
Wenjiu took a sip of porridge from the bowl and said, "Then let the two maids come in quickly."
Liusu responded and asked someone to invite him.
"Miss, how are you?" The two maids bowed and greeted as they entered the room, offering warm wine.
Wenjiu waved his hand and said, "Madams, please sit down and talk. Liusu, have someone fill the bowls and chopsticks."
"Miss, this is unacceptable," Aunt Xie said with a frown. She had guessed that Miss Wen might be trying to win her over, but she had never expected it to happen so quickly.
Naturally, she did not dare to disrespect her. Now, the wife and concubines in the mansion were all defeated because of this woman. The prince was extremely fond of her and even asked her to oversee such a large banquet.
She was pregnant, and I heard it was twins. Although her status was lower, I didn't dare to look down on her at all.
Aunt Gui frowned: "Miss, according to the rules..."
"The rule is that if I say sit down, you can't hear me clearly standing so far away. Don't waste time, use it quickly so you can get back to work." Wen Jiu immediately stopped Nanny Gui from saying anything about the rule. Speaking of which, the other person was of a higher status than her and older, so there was nothing wrong with that.
After the two of them sat down hesitantly, Wen Jiu asked directly, "Do you have any reference records from previous years? Have you looked them up? Have you drawn up a preliminary plan? Are there any difficulties now? Oh, and please tell me the process of entertaining guests later. It would be best if you can write it down."
Aunt Gui was not surprised to hear this, because she knew a little about warming wine. This woman was definitely a very skilled person, so she was not surprised by anything she said.
Aunt Xie was surprised. She only knew Wenjiu as arrogant and vicious before, but now she could vaguely see some calmness in her.
You know, I helped Fu Jin with things before, but Fu Jin was pretty much a hands-off boss, only letting the maids around her work with her. She rarely asked questions, but gave a lot of orders. Often, she would be so busy because of a word from Fu Jin that she didn't get any good results.
I couldn't help but glance at Wenjiu several more times. The girl was dressed in a loose, flowing black Qipao dress, her hair still untied. Her delicate, jade-white hands were holding a bowl larger than her face, sipping porridge mouthful by mouthful. Her mouth might not seem large, but she drank the porridge incredibly quickly, draining the entire bowl in no time.
She spoke with a certain maturity, yet her appearance was childish and pretty. Even her pregnancy hadn't affected her beauty in the slightest. Actually, Aunt Xie felt that her favor for warming the wine was somewhat justified.
