“These two are the children of Er Leng’s sister-in-law’s relatives. You’ll be in charge of taking care of Daya! Then you’ll find someone else to take care of Er Ya!” Jiang Ling said, pointing to Daya and Er Ya.
After hearing this, Zhou Daxia nodded and said to the two children, "Come with me!"
Daya and Erya followed obediently behind Zhou Daya.
Watching the three figures gradually disappear, Jiang Ling smiled slightly and whispered, "Little girl, let's see how long you can keep up this act!"
Jiang Ling had just left the sanitary napkin factory and was planning to consider the restaurant Qin Huang had mentioned earlier when the village chief rushed over in a panic.
Seeing the village chief struggling to breathe, Jiang Ling was startled and quickly asked, "What? What happened?"
The village chief, panting heavily, pointed towards the entrance of Lu Family Village. Before he could speak, Jiang Ling ran wildly towards the village entrance.
When she reached the village entrance, her steps gradually came to a halt, where she saw a familiar face standing there smiling and watching her.
"Eunuch Yin? You...you've come!" Jiang Ling was both surprised and delighted.
"Oh my, Madam, we've come to congratulate you! His Majesty is very pleased with the situation in Qingzhou!" Eunuch Yin smiled, his eyes narrowed.
Jiang Ling let out a sound, her mouth slightly open, but she quickly bent her knees and knelt down.
"By the mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees..." After the imperial edict was read, Eunuch Yin's eyes almost disappeared with laughter.
He placed the imperial edict in Jiang Ling's hand and said, "I told you, we'll meet again! You're truly an extraordinary person, Madam! If you were a man, you might be an official in the court by now!"
Jiang Ling carefully put away the imperial edict and thanked Eunuch Yin.
Grandpa Yin cleared his throat, glanced at the village chief who had just run over, and said, "Village Chief Lu, I have something to tell you. Congratulations!"
The village chief was taken aback by Eunuch Yin's words. He quickly knelt down to kowtow, but Eunuch Yin helped him up. Eunuch Yin took out a piece of Xuan paper from his bosom and said, "Village Chief Lu has done a good job in governing the village. His Majesty has once again bestowed upon your village a thousand acres of wasteland and a reward of one hundred taels of silver!"
The village chief listened with trepidation, sweat beading on his forehead. He stood there awkwardly, somewhat at a loss. Eunuch Yin continued, "Of course, there's even better news: His Majesty has decided to change Lu Family Village into Lu Family Town!"
"What? Really...really?" After saying this, the village chief immediately covered his mouth and knelt down in front of Eunuch Yin.
"Your Excellency Yin is a magnanimous man; I was just talking nonsense!" the village chief said, kowtowing repeatedly.
Eunuch Yin smiled and said, "Get up. This is a joyous occasion, no problem at all! Please keep the things I gave you safe! Someone will come over in a few days!"
The village chief nodded and stood up tremblingly. He turned to Jiang Ling and asked incredulously, "Yao... Yao Jie's mother, am I... am I dreaming?"
Jiang Ling patted the village chief on the shoulder and comforted him, "Calm down, you're so old, extreme joy or sorrow isn't good for your health! You're not dreaming, His Majesty is wise!"
"Ah! Me! Me! I'm going to be the town mayor!" The village chief suddenly exclaimed, then disappeared from Jiang Ling and Eunuch Yin's sight at lightning speed.
"I'm sorry, Eunuch Yin, the village chief..." Jiang Ling apologized to Eunuch Yin, forcing herself to speak.
Unexpectedly, Eunuch Yin waved his hand dismissively, saying, "It's alright, it's alright, this is a joyous occasion!"
“Eunuch Yin’s arrival this time is rather abrupt. I… I haven’t prepared any gifts! Why don’t you stay the night, Eunuch Yin? Come to my house for dinner tonight?” Jiang Ling said after thinking for a moment.
After thinking for a moment, Eunuch Yin looked at the crowd behind him and said, "It's not appropriate for such a large group of us to stay in your house!"
Jiang Ling said with a smile, "There are some new changes in Lu Family Village, Eunuch Yin. Shall I take you to see them?"
Eunuch Yin's eyes immediately lit up, and he nodded repeatedly, saying, "Auntie, you're amazing! You never disappoint me when I come to Lu Family Village!"
Jiang Ling said modestly, "You're too kind, Eunuch Yin!"
As she spoke, Jiang Ling led Eunuch Yin toward the first phase of her development project. Although the first phase was still under construction, the inn had already been completed. Eunuch Yin looked at the rows of small houses around him and asked curiously, "Princess An, what are these?"
Jiang Ling briefly explained her initial plan, and Eunuch Yin was speechless by the end. He clapped his hands repeatedly and exclaimed, "My lady, my lady! We truly feel that you are a miracle!"
Jiang Ling smiled to herself, but said modestly, "It's not completely finished yet, so I hope you'll be lenient, Eunuch Yin!"
Eunuch Yin smiled and led the group into the inn. Since the inn was not open to the public, there was no one there. Jiang Ling said to Eunuch Yin, "It's not open to the public yet, so please bear with us for now!"
Grandpa Yin was already full of praise for the exquisite decorations. He nodded and clapped his hands, "Oh, what's there to complain about! Madam, you must let us know when the commercial street opens! We definitely have to come and see it!"
Jiang Ling nodded in agreement.
Shen Shi (3-5 PM), Jiang Ling's house, kitchen.
Jiang Lingzhen and Granny Zhu were busy preparing today's meal. Shen Congxin wanted to help, but Jiang Lingzhen pushed him down onto the bed.
Jiang Yaojie was also busy helping Jiang Ling reduce her burden.
"Aunt Jiang, is there anything I can do to help you?" Er Ya's voice reached Jiang Ling's ears.
Jiang Ling frowned and looked over, only to see Er Ya standing at the kitchen door with a big smile on her face.
The kitchen was busy at the moment, and Jiang Ling thought that having another helper would be helpful anyway, so she walked over to Er Ya and said, "Okay, come and help, but be careful, they are a big customer we can't afford to offend!"
