Chapter 876: The Lu Family Has a Successor!
e really coughed up blood!"He has been pacing back and forth on the beach lately, though he knows his elder brother is plotting to ruin Wang's business, he doesn't know how to proceed.Could this all b..."I heard that for Jia Yi, they spent a hundred taels of silver to get him out of prison"
Tao Hongying nodded, "Yes, this person has a head injury and doesn't even know his own history. "
When Jia Yi was in prison, he received care from him and also showed his temper. He then paid with silver to settle his case and planned to take him to the Hai Lan army to kill pirates together.
Even Dr. Zhang helped check his pulse and gave him medicine, but said it might not cure him.
"Lao Huang was much more seriously injured than Big Brother back then. It's a miracle he survived at all."
Mrs. Wen smiled and said, “Jia Yi is indeed kind and righteous. As long as Lao Huang kills the Japanese pirates and establishes a foothold for the Hai Lan Army, he will no longer worry about food and shelter, and at least won't have to wander outside.”
As everyone talked and laughed, they momentarily forgot about their homes...
Tian Tian Fruit and Vegetable opened for three days, and has already made a name for itself in Xin Du Li, establishing a firm foothold.
Anyone who goes to the shopping street can't help but stop by the entrance of Tiantian Fruits and Vegetables.
Even if I don't go in, just looking through the window at those fresh fruits is a delight.
And with a few taels of silver in their pockets, they took turns going inside, and came out with several red apples. That was enough for them to hold their heads high, walk out the door triumphantly, and greet the envious gazes of others...
When the sun was high in the sky, a troop of cavalry suddenly arrived at the door escorting a carriage.
The cavalry were each clad in armor, with swords strapped to their hips, mounted on tall steeds, and incredibly brave.
Anyone with eyes can see that these soldiers are not in the same league as those cowardly city guards.
Then, the crowd outside the shop quickly made way for an open space.
A middle-aged man stepped out of the carriage afterward. He wore a dark fox fur cloak, which made him look tall and elegant, exuding an air of nobility.
When he glanced at the crowd, he nodded slightly, then strode into the shop.
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Who is this distinguished person Their aura is truly impressive!"
"You're so out of the loop!" The person beside him quickly filled him in, with a hint of pride in his voice, "This is Marquis XinTing, our Heavenly Martial Empire's first army marquis!"
"The barbarians who were killed were just wetting themselves and crying their father's name, this is the one!"
“Oh, so it's Marquis Xinting!” The man exclaimed in surprise and regret. “I should have kowtowed to the Marquis just now. My mother was killed by barbarians. By killing the barbarians, Your Excellency is avenging my mother!”
This statement really resonated with the crowd. After all, the chaotic and hurried move of the capital back then resulted in countless deaths. It could be said that every household had a white flag hanging, and every family was mourning!
"Yeah, I want to kowtow to the Marquis too!"
I wonder if the Lord will be able to recover Jiangbei next year. I still want to go back home and have a look.
"I'm not going back, there's no one home, just me, a lonely ghost!"
"Don't say that. Go back and pay your respects to your parents at their graves, at least that way the family incense won't be broken."
Let's not talk about what people are saying outside. Just to say, since the first day of opening her business, Jia Yin hasn't gone back to the front hall again.
Although she wore men's clothing, discerning people could still tell that she was female.
She wasn't afraid to put herself out there and face criticism, but she still had to consider the reputation of her family.
Moreover, Zhao Hui, along with her maidservants and porters, was busy yet organized, without any lapses or errors. There was no need for her, the mistress of the house, to be at the front, overseeing everything.
Just then, Jiaren brought over Lu Zong and Guo Wenhao and others to sit for a while. She accompanied them and said a few words.
On the day of its opening, Jia Ren wanted to come over.
When his elders were away from home, he, as the older brother, wished to be with his younger sister at all times, taking care of her.
But that day was President Zhou's birthday, and he and Li Ge'er had to rush to send a gift.
And, that little Round Round joined in the excitement, having an on-and-off fever. This new dad was extremely worried, so he didn't even care about his shop here.
Fortunately, YuanYuan had a complete fever break that night.
After that, no matter when, as long as he had free time, he would come around and walk.
Today, Lu Cong, Jia Xu and Guo Wenhao mentioned the fruit and vegetable stand, wanting to come and support it, so a few people came together again.
White jade melon is a specialty of Lu Zhong's hometown. As he took bite after bite, he couldn't help but think of his family back home.
"My lady sister, I must still thank you. For allowing me to travel miles away and yet taste the fruits of my homeland.
"Moreover, this white gourd variety is much sweeter than the ones we grow locally. It's truly a rare treat."
Jia Yin smiled and offered him another piece, saying, "Brother Lu, if you like it, eat more. I was just trying it out, didn't expect it to actually work."
"It's a pity that there aren't many planted, so it can only be sold for these two or three days. I'll keep a few for the family to satisfy their cravings. If Brother Lu wants to eat more, he'll have to go to the village."
"Sounds good," Lu Cong said, showing no signs of being out of place. "I'll grab a meal with you then."
Everyone burst into laughter, even Guo Wenhao couldn't help but smirk.
For the past six months, he has been following his teacher and senior brothers, without staying cooped up at home every day.
Not only did my horizons broaden and I gained more knowledge, but my body also grew stronger!
If Old Man Guo were alive today, he probably wouldn't even recognize this as his grandson...
At this time, the Marquis was led by Zhao Hui into the backyard.
Everyone was surprised and quickly went out to greet him.
After settling back down, Jia Yin personally poured a cup of hot tea for the Marquis and asked, "Father-in-law, what brings you here today"
The Lord bowed his head in acknowledgement to the crowd before saying, "I just went to the Ministry of War and will be heading to the palace shortly. I thought you might want to see the Emperor since it's been a while, so would you like to come with me I can bring some fruit."
"Well, it has been some time since I last visited Uncle Huang."
Jia Yin guessed that her adoptive father had entered the palace specially for her, but she didn't expose him. She immediately smiled and agreed.
The entire Li family, young and old, set off south. Although it wasn't illegal nor were they ashamed of it, they still felt it was necessary to inform the Emperor.
To prevent anyone from causing trouble and turning nothing into something.
Jia Yin personally went to the front to pick fruit, while the Marquis accompanied Jia Ren and a few others in idle chatter.
The lord had heard about it before. Lu Zong, under the pressure from the Wu family, resolutely led his guards into Suijin Beach and protected the Li family.
At this point, he spoke to Lu Zong and expressed his gratitude, presenting him with a prized horse.
Lu Zong was both delighted and frustrated. He rose to his feet and performed the junior's bow, "Thank you, Lord. I have always wanted a grassland horse, but unfortunately, our southwestern region is too far from the grasslands, and we haven't had the chance to seize one from the barbarians."
"Today is truly a dream come true, I won't be polite."
The lord nodded and smiled at him.
As expected of a child from a family of warriors, even though he may appear like a scholar on the outside, there's still a hint of rascality in his bones.
Killing the enemy and seizing their horses is as natural as breathing, it comes easily.
In this sense, the Southwest Lu family can be considered to have successors...
Soon, Jia Yin brought back some fruits and followed the Marquis into the palace without changing her clothes.
Today there was no court meeting. The Emperor finished reviewing several memorials and took a rare break to relax.
Master Yi strode in with a smile and said, “Your Majesty, what a coincidence! As soon as you finish your work, Lord Hou and Lady Jun have sent fruit for you!”
"Really Let them in quickly!"
The Emperor was very pleased.
Yi quickly went out and soon led the Lord and Jia Yin in.
Two people, each carrying a basket brimming with fruits, presented them to the Emperor. The sight brought a smile to his face...
