Jiayin has some amazing abilities.
In fact, thanks to her miraculous abilities, her entire family and village survived the arduous journey of fleeing famine and are now enjoying a good life.
This is something the whole family, and even close relatives in the village, all know.
When Jiayin was a child, her family would often say things like, "Fu Niu'er is the luckiest girl."
Later, the family members tacitly stopped talking about it.
Because the children are older, the number of people coming and going in the house has become more diverse.
If this gets out, it will do more harm than good to a girl.
For example, if Wu Cuihua hadn't believed that "Fu Niu'er is lucky," she wouldn't have stolen Fu Niu'er and given her to Wu Ergou as a lucky charm for gambling!
Now, several years later, someone suddenly wants to attribute the word "good fortune" to Jiayin again.
Why would they deliberately make it so that everyone knows and believes it?
Has Jia Yin's amazing ability truly been discovered, or is there another motive?!
Li Lao Er did not believe the former.
In recent years, the family has become quite well-off, and we no longer need our niece's help. As a result, our niece has rarely shown her amazing abilities anymore.
Even when they do occasionally show themselves, they are always completely concealed, so that no one would suspect anything.
For example, the potted flowers in the Hundred Flowers Garden are always transported from the greenhouse of the Princess's Mansion.
Where do the potted plants in the greenhouse come from?
That was brought back from all over the world by the caravans of the Second Village.
Outsiders might be surprised by Princess Kang Le's skill in growing flowers, or by how warm the glass room could be in winter, just like springtime.
There is absolutely no doubt that these flowers are of questionable origin.
If we rule out the possibility that her miraculous abilities have been discovered, then there is only one possibility left: someone wants to use the words "good fortune" to harm Jiayin!
After thinking it through, Li Lao Er said, "Fu Niu'er, you should stay home for the next few days and avoid going out too much."
"I'll have someone investigate this matter. If there's something fishy going on, we should take precautions early to avoid being taken advantage of."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Uncle." Jiayin obediently agreed, and then said, "By the way, Uncle, today there was a woman wearing a light purple dress who kept trying to steer the conversation toward me."
"I asked the Gu family, and they said that this woman was the cousin of the eldest wife of the Gu family, her husband's surname was Zou, and her husband was a clerk in the Jingzhao Prefecture."
"Second Uncle, investigate this person and see if she is being manipulated by someone. Perhaps we can catch the person behind her."
“Alright, don’t worry about it. Go home early.” Li Lao Er nodded and replied, “Please tell your grandmother that I’m staying at the Earl’s mansion for the next few days and won’t be going back.”
Jiayin agreed, chatted for a few more minutes, finished her shaved ice, and then went out to get into the carriage.
Seeing that Zheng Sanjiang was driving the carriage, Li Lao Er felt relieved and did not send any more veterans to accompany the carriage.
Last spring, whether it was a remnant of the Hibiscus Cream case or not, they ambushed and killed him as he was taking a car home at dusk.
He only brought Zheng He and Zheng Sanjiang with him at the time. He originally thought it was a very dangerous situation, but he took out the dagger from his boot.
As a result, Zheng He didn't even have a chance to make a move, and Zheng Sanjiang took down the four assassins all by himself.
That time, he truly witnessed Zheng Sanjiang's abilities.
After returning home and telling the whole family, they all agreed to send Zheng Sanjiang to Jiaren's side, to be his inseparable personal attendant.
Li Lao Er has the title of Earl, and his men Zheng He, Zheng Feng, and several veterans openly carry weapons such as swords.
Jiaren only had Gousheng by his side, and he was often out and about.
It would be dangerous if a bad person took advantage of the situation.
With a master like Zheng Sanjiang, no one will be able to harm the eldest grandson of the Li family in the future!
The reason Jiayin wasn't given the opportunity wasn't because her family didn't care for her, but because she had Shuiyun and Shuiling by her side, as well as Yeshan and Dongmei.
In fact, she herself had been subjected to several years of devilish training by Doctor Zhang, and she had countless strange medicinal powders on her body.
Anyone who dares to plot against her will probably die without even knowing how...
Today, Jiaren stayed home with Wan'er, Yeshan went out to run errands, and Zheng Sanjiang, unable to stay idle, took on the job of driving the carriage for Jiayin.
With the sound of horses' hooves, we returned to Broken Gold Beach.
It was midday, and the sun was so intense it seemed to be melting everything.
Even the most diligent farmers need to take a break and nap at this time of day.
So, straw mats were laid out behind the house and under the trees to create a spacious kang (heated brick bed).
The large trees at the village entrance are the villagers' favorite spot, with mats spread out under them.
The mischievous boys, wearing baggy shorts and shirtless, slept sprawled out.
The men, with wet towels on their heads, were also snoring loudly.
Only the women still had needles and thread in their hands, either sewing a t-shirt for a child or making a pair of shoe soles.
Occasionally, while yawning, she would fan the men and children with a palm leaf fan to shoo away flies.
The traditional image of a hardworking, selfless woman was perfectly embodied in this moment...
The Li family's carriage slowed down before returning from outside, so as not to wake the sleeping men and children.
The women, on the other hand, carefully stood up and bowed to Jiayin as she got off the bus.
Jiayin waved her hand and went into the courtyard.
Soon, Shui Ling came out carrying a water bottle.
The kettle was filled with cool rock sugar pear juice to soothe the throat and reduce dryness.
Each of the women received a bowl, and after taking a sip, they found it both refreshing and delicious, so they all thanked them with smiles.
Shui Ling pointed to the courtyard and said with a smile in a low voice, "The princess said that you should sleep for a while if you can, so as not to ruin your health."
"If the children in the family become successful and want to take care of their mother, but the mother is exhausted, how can that be?"
The women all grinned from ear to ear, quickly nodding and whispering their agreement.
"Alright, we'll listen to the princess."
"Yes, we will listen to the princess."
After saying this, they drank the water in their bowls and then lay down next to the man, closing their eyes.
Shuiling skipped and hopped back to the yard carrying the water bottle.
The main room was quite cool because of the two large ice basins and the shade provided by the eaves.
Grandma Li was taking a nap while watching the stars and the crescent moon when she turned to Jiayin and whispered, "How was the flower viewing party today? Was it fun?"
"It's fun, Grandma."
Of course, good news is always reported, and bad news is never shared.
She picked out funny stories about playing cards and smearing Xu Xi's face with paper strips, which made the old lady laugh heartily.
"It's so lively when you young girls get together," said Grandma Li, pleased that her granddaughter had made some friends.
Suddenly, she remembered something and said, "Just now, Liu's Zhimin sent someone to our house to ask for the Jade Melon. He said he lost a game with his friends and was punished by having to treat them to the Jade Melon."
"Didn't he also go to the Gu family's flower viewing banquet? I wonder what games they played."
"I was thinking of having the Liu family send you two jade melons so you and your girlfriends could eat them together."
"Later I thought, there are so many people in the Gu family. What if someone gets upset because they didn't get a share? Wouldn't that be doing a bad thing with good intentions?"
"In a few days, when the melons are in bloom, you can invite all your girlfriends over to your house and have a good meal."
“Okay, Grandma,” Jiayin replied obediently.
She guessed that Zhimin probably knew she had left early and was worried that something might have happened to her, so she made up an excuse to come to her house.
So, she found an opportunity to send Shui Ling to the Liu family again to let them know she was safe.
Leaving aside home, life continues peacefully and happily.
It was said that Li Lao Er had sent out most of his men to find out who was stirring up trouble behind the scenes.
Before any clues could be found, rumors spread throughout the streets and alleys that Princess Kang Le was a lucky star who could turn any misfortune into good fortune.
Even the story of how Baozhu choked and was rescued years ago has been brought up again.
The incident of the young maid from the Tonggu family drowning, when combined with other events, became the talk of the town among the idle people in the teahouse and tavern...
