Chapter 756: The Greedy Thieves That Can't Be Killed!

en your second son's wife before, in the small woods behind. She met someone there, then went back home and brought out something to give them."My eyesight isn't what it used to be, I couldn't see ver..."No worries, Your Highness," said a half-sized boy, tanned like a mud eel and grinning with a white tooth, "we don't need it for now.

But if it doesn't rain for another three or five days, I'm afraid we'll have to draw water.

Jia Yin nodded and then looked around before going to the pharmacy workshop on the edge of town.

Here, several young women are carefully selecting herbs, drying them, and meticulously processing them.

Jia Yin didn't disturb them, quietly took a look around, went to the warehouse to put the finished products into her space and left.

Working overtime tonight, so I can save a few hundred bottles of healing potions tomorrow.

In a few days, Uncle Li Yong was going to lead people to reinforce Jiangbei. Jia Yin prepared to send another batch of medicinal herbs to her foster father and biological father.

It's been quite a few years since Mannan headed south. The iron cavalry on the grasslands marched into the city, indulging in revelry and luxury. Since then, their former bravery has vanished.

Moreover, the Man tribe was good at raising and herding horses. However, they were not skilled in cultivating crops.

On the contrary, the Northern Expeditionary Army had abundant supplies of food and grass, and its combat effectiveness was increasing day by day.

Under this seesaw situation, the Northern Expeditionary Army has been achieving victory after victory since its campaign began in April this year!

But the battlefield, with swords and guns flying everywhere, cannot guarantee that there will be no casualties, no matter how many victories there are.

The medicine prepared by the Ministry of War was not to be said as a bad recipe.

However, purchasing herbs and making medicinal salves involves too many people, each layer peeling away a bit.

Finally, if the quality of the herbs is poor and the dosage is insufficient, even the best formula will be useless.

For this reason, the lord also had a massacre, last year he caught several "worms," and directly beheaded them.

Unfortunately, there's never a shortage of greedy people in the world. Kill one batch, and another batch will stand up.

The problem of the medicine not working well, has not been solved.

So, when she set out this year, Jiayin sent all the accumulated medicinal herbs she had to the military camp.

A while ago, a letter arrived from Jiangbei saying that the medicine's effects were immediate and had saved many wounded soldiers.

It is likely that when autumn arrives, my adoptive father will return and once again petition the Emperor for imperial farmland to cultivate medicinal herbs on a large scale.

Jia Yin fully supports this.

Over the past few years, Uncle Huang has had easy access to Manager Yi and Mr. Feng, often asking them to come to the County Princess's Mansion to "shear their sheep," consuming countless vegetables and fruits.

If these fruits and vegetables were sold for silver, they would be enough to buy hundreds of acres of land. She couldn't make a losing deal!

After making a full circle, Jia Yin went straight back to the old house in front.

As twilight deepened, the Li family compound was already aglow with lanterns.

When Old Mrs. Li saw her granddaughter come back, she quickly set a table for dinner.

Jia Yin, even though she wasn't hungry, ate a lot with her grandmother and then told her about the Gu family's flower-viewing party. During this time, Xing Xing followed along, causing mischief and acting cute, making it quite lively.

The old woman liked it best when the house was like this, with all her children grown and gone. Sometimes, when she was alone in the quiet courtyard, she felt uneasy.

Jiārén and Jiāhuān are doing well, we can usually see each other every few days.

Both Li and Mao had their own horses now, so they could visit each other every seven or eight days.

Only Jia Yi has been fighting pirates in the south, rising from a military captain to a deputy general, but he's never had a chance to go home.

As for Jiaxi and Jian'an, there has been no word from them, their lives and deaths are unknown...

Jia Yi didn't go home either, also because of these two younger brothers.

It is said that he patrolled the outer seas every day, and whenever he encountered ships from foreign lands, he would always look for his younger brother's whereabouts and news.

It's a shame, I came up empty-handed…

Everyone in the family knows that the old woman misses her three grandsons dearly, so on a daily basis, she tries her best to avoid mentioning them and focuses on keeping the household lively and cheerful.

Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru missed their son dearly. They would secretly shed tears at night but greet each other with smiles during the day.

This evening, the great-grandson was acting cute, and the granddaughter asked for advice, making the old lady so happy she spoke more than usual and ate half a bowl of extra rice.

After the meal, Jia Yin again dragged her grandmother to help her choose jewelry and clothing for the flower-viewing banquet.

Tao Hongying and Mrs. Wen, having nothing to do, also went to join in the fun.

Wénjuān hugged Xīngxīng and took out a beautifully embroidered, ornate belt. She said, "Sister, when you go visiting, don't dress too plainly. Choose a pretty dress and try on this belt."

Jia Yin laughed and hugged her second sister-in-law, saying in surprise, “Second sister-in-law, you’ve been so busy these past few days, all for embroidering a sash for me! I thought you were making clothes for Xing Xing!”

Wenjuan has gotten used to her sister-in-law's closeness these past few years, blushing slightly, "Xingxing has many sets of clothes."

At this time, Wan'er also called Chunxiu back to the room to get a package.

The package contained a cinnabar-colored dress. From the hem to the chest, it was embroidered with golden flowers, exquisitely detailed.

Wan'er smiled and said, "What a coincidence! I just sewed a skirt for my younger sister, which perfectly matches Wenjuan's belt.

"Little sister, try it quickly. If anything doesn't feel right, we'll change it immediately."

Everyone couldn't help but praise them, saying that both sisters-in-law were skilled.

Love of beauty is a natural instinct for women, regardless of age.

Yueya'er squeezed out of Mrs. Wen's arms and ran forward, gently touching the skirt hem, then turned back to her mother with a coquettish smile.

"Mother, Yueyaya wants a pretty dress too!"

Everyone burst into laughter. Mrs. Wen even hugged her daughter and comforted her, "When you grow up to be as big as Sister Funiang, you can wear such a beautiful dress."

Yueya'er compared her height to hers, and furrowed her brow in distress, her little face scrunched up—she was absolutely adorable.

Jiayin went to the inner room and changed her clothes. He Mama skillfully restyled her hair, adorned with a crimson gold hairpin. The hairpin was set with a ruby in the center, paired with earrings of the same red gemstone design. She looked truly elegant and beautiful.

As soon as I stepped out, my appearance stunned everyone.

Wan'er supported her stomach and walked around her younger cousin, taking a good look. She smiled and said to her grandmother, “Grandma, you see, your sister is very suitable for this outfit, bright and dignified!”

Mrs. Li laughed so hard her mouth wouldn't close, and she replied eagerly, "My Fu Niu er has truly grown into a young lady now. When she was little, I was worried she would always be plump like a ball."

"I didn't expect her to grow like willow branches in spring, lengthening so quickly. It seems I worried for nothing."

Mrs. Wen also nodded in agreement, "That's right, girls change a lot after they turn eighteen. That's exactly what it means."

"Fu Niuer is a princess. At home, she dresses casually and comfortably, but when she goes out, she needs to dress more elegantly."

Jia Yin twirled her skirt on the ground a few times, she was absolutely beautiful.

Lastly, she ran over to hug her two sisters-in-law and planted a kiss on each of their cheeks.

Both Wǎn'er and Wénjuān were flushed, their faces red with shame, they lowered their heads.

Wǎn'er touched her own belly and hoped very much to have a little daughter like Xiao Guzi.

With such a daughter, life would surely be filled with joy every day for the rest of one's days.

Jia Yin opened her jewelry box and put on a carnelian bracelet on her wrist.

Then, she picked out a pair of jade bracelets with exquisite craftsmanship and put one on each of her two sisters-in-law's wrists.

Wan'er and Wenjuan naturally didn't want to. They treated their younger sister-in-law like a real sister, and her husband had repeatedly warned them not to ask for money for doing some needlework!

But Jia Yin truly wants to thank the sisters-in-law.

The elder sister-in-law is heavily pregnant, and the second sister-in-law has to take care of a two-year-old child. They are both busy.

This shows how much she is cared for and cherished, to even spare time to do needlework for her! It speaks volumes about their deep affection.

Finally, it was Old Mrs. Li who spoke up, asking the two sons-in-law to accept the bracelets.

As a family, they were harmonious and loving, making the old woman even happier. Even in her sleep, a smile graced her face. speak.Sister, call big brother!"Funiu ah, call Uncle!""Fu Niu, call Auntie!"That day, after finally getting a break for lunch, Jia Yin, feeling full and sleepy, nestled in Zhao Shu's arms and took a...
