As Fan Jiang ate the familiar and delicious food, tears welled up in his eyes again, almost uncontrollably.
Looking up, I saw the adorable baby beside me eating steamed egg custard, and I forced back my tears.
He still felt a bit unreal, like he was walking on cotton. "Is this really my uncle and Aunt Jiajia's child?"
He's only been gone for three or four years? How come my uncle and Aunt Jiajia got married?!
They even have a child now, and the child is already two years old!
Then I realized why my uncle had been so adamant about not letting them call Jiajia "sister" and insisted they call her "aunt." So that's what he was waiting for!
Hu's mother said with a smile, "Back then, you were far away and I couldn't inform you. Later, I was afraid that you would feel sad if you found out over there and couldn't come back, so Manshan didn't tell you."
Fan Jiangxi felt a pang of sadness, but looking at the tiny little baby, he was still genuinely happy.
He exclaimed, "I can't believe my uncle's child is already so big."
Although a two-year-old is not big, he is very big to him!
Mrs. Hu's smile never faded tonight. "Your uncle is already twenty-one. Two years old isn't old for a child. In a fast-paced family, the child would probably be able to go to a school and learn to read and write by now."
Mentioning his age, especially his 21, everyone at the table turned to look at Ling Ran.
Qin Yilin and Hu's mother suddenly realized that Ling Ran was the same age as their two children. Could it be that he was not married yet?
Suddenly, the dinner table was filled with caring words, which Shuiqing translated as: urging marriage.
Ling Ran was not opposed to being urged to get married; in fact, he looked at the adorable little baby with envy in his eyes, which made Hu's mother feel extremely sorry for him.
Especially after learning that Ling Ran treated her daughter like her own mother and that she had full authority over her marriage, the way she looked at her daughter unconsciously became more serious.
Shuiqing: ...The burden on my shoulders has become much heavier, and the pressure is immense.
After dinner, everyone moved to the tea room to continue chatting.
The previous matters were all private; this one is serious business.
The butcher, who had been holding back for so long, finally managed to ask, "Young Ling, is the war really over? Did the King of Yan win?"
As an ordinary citizen, he didn't really care which side won; he only cared whether the war was over.
However, after Da Jiang went to Beidu, he secretly hoped that Yan Wangsheng would succeed!
"It's over. Although they announced that the new emperor is gone, his whereabouts are actually unknown," Fan Jiang replied in a low voice.
Butcher Hu was stunned and stood there in shock!
Good heavens, I never thought he would one day know a secret.
However, "How could such a living person as the new emperor be nowhere to be found? Haven't they been found?"
Fan Jiang shook his head: "I don't know. I definitely looked for it, but I don't know if I looked seriously. It's fine as it is now."
Even he knew that even if he found it, he wouldn't tell anyone. Anyway, none of them would know. But there are advantages to not knowing. He could just focus on farming in peace from now on!
Upon hearing that the Prince of Yan had won, Qin Yilin asked with concern, "Will the capital still be in Jinling from now on?"
Fan Jiang didn't know this, but Ling Ran did, and he didn't hide it from his family: "It's unlikely, they'll probably move to Beidu."
In fact, the Prince of Yan had already put his eldest son in charge of recruiting craftsmen to build the imperial city. Before that, he would work in the original location and there was no possibility of him going to Jinling.
Upon hearing that Beidu would become the capital city under the emperor's nose, Butcher Hu's mother, Qin Yilin, and Ding Jiajia went from surprise to joy.
