Chapter 96 The Fourth Floor of the Palace
Because of the autumn harvest, the school gave them a holiday, and Jinran had no intention of going to the fields to earn work points. She would rather go up the mountain to shear sheep than spend that time doing so.
Besides, all the vegetables at home have been dried; Grandma Chen helped put them in the vat, and we'll be able to eat them in a while. The pig needs to be slaughtered soon—there's a whole lot to do!
Speaking of her pigs, it's worth mentioning that they now hold a slightly higher place in Grandma Shen's heart than Jinran's, mainly because both of her pigs weigh three or four hundred pounds each. Their swaying, meaty appearance is enough to make anyone's mouth water.
Every time Grandma Chen came, she would first bypass Jinran and go to the pigsty to take a look. Then she would say with a smile, "You're really something!"
Jinran comforted herself, thinking that it was impossible for either of them to surpass her, but they were definitely stronger than Shen's father.
This is an incredible win.
When Jinran made the deal with Old Man Mo, she had already told him that this year would be the end of it, and any further deals would have to wait until next year.
But the things Old Man Mo prepared this time were really good. There were more than a dozen large diamonds and jade of various colors and qualities, which she liked very much.
The four little ones at home were still rarely home, but Jinran received wild game as gifts from her son-in-law every day. Once, Jinbao even brought back a lingzhi mushroom, which shocked Jinran.
She asked curiously, "Jinbao, how do you know this thing is good?"
While licking Fugui's fur, Jinbao took a moment to say to Jinran, "Meow~~ Meow~~" I didn't know that. There are plenty of these things in the mountains. We don't really care about them. I saw you always picking up those things that aren't even as big as this on the mountain, so I brought them back to broaden your horizons.
Jinran thought, ".............. This feeling of being both mocked and fed dog food is just amazing!"
Okay, I'll just give it to Shen's father then and let him decide what to do with it!
Da Hong hasn't been coming to visit her much lately. Everyone is busy with the autumn harvest, so Jin Ran gets bored and goes up the mountain. In the evenings, she goes into her space to study or casually flips through the books in the castle.
The rest of the time, I either plant the remaining seeds or taste which fruit is delicious and mark it. If I find a particularly delicious one, I break off a branch and stick it in the ground next to it. It was just a whim at first, but I never expected that they would actually grow.
The thing that made Jinran scream with joy the most was that she accidentally discovered that she could actually enter the fourth floor of the palace.
Jinran cautiously walked upstairs, and then she saw about twenty iron cages, yes, the kind used for imprisonment.
There were cubs in each cage. Jinran recognized some of them and didn't recognize others, but they were all asleep and showed no signs of waking up.
Jinran's mouth had been closed ever since they went up to the fourth floor. But when she saw the panda with dark circles under its eyes, Jinran's mouth opened even wider.
This is outrageous! Did she mess with the whole zoo?
But they're all so cute, cuter than my rebellious kids at home.
Jinran tried to take the little black-eyed cat out, but as soon as she touched the cage, the lock opened and the little black-eyed cat woke up.
It seemed to be quite friendly as it meowed at Jinran, "Mmm~~" I'm hungry~
Jinran: "Does she look like she has a basin of milk?"
It scurried up to Jinran while meowing, and Jinran's heart melted. She reached out her guilty hand and gave it a good rub. This was just too blissful.
This kind of joy is only slightly less than obtaining a great deal of gold.
Jinran named this panda "Black Circles," and she was a little girl. After feeding her a bowl of milk, Jinran was worried—where could she find bamboo for her in this space?
Jinran looked back at the rest of the sleeping cubs and decided not to disturb them for now, otherwise she would really become a wet nurse.
"Mmm~~" I'm hungry.
"Didn't you just finish drinking?"
"Mmm~" I'm hungry again~
Jinran: "You're so cute, I'll say whatever I want to you."
She also diligently served her dark circles by giving them bowls of milk.
In the days that followed, Jinran spent her time busy with external affairs and searching for bamboo in her space, frantically trying to plant it, all to ensure that her future food supply would be guaranteed.
This approach displeased the original inhabitants and sons-in-law, who protested several times. Jinran then seriously reflected on her actions and promised to cede territory and pay reparations, stating that she would treat everyone equally in the future.
But what is this thing? It's a giant panda! It has unified the world's aesthetic standards, how can she not be biased? As long as the panda has dark circles under its eyes, Jinran will have no principles whatsoever.
I have only one thought: I'll give it to you, ... you my life.
