Chapter 1073: The Bully's Standard!

s a divine doctor on Suijin Beach who can cure all diseases. Is the county lord's master this person”Seeing the eagerness in her eyes, Old Mrs. Li vaguely guessed something and said after a moment of...The village head went home to get some things, and when he returned, he saw that people were gathered outside Li's courtyard.

Everyone, though they couldn't help much, were willing to squat against the wall and soak up the sun, perspiring profusely.

He couldn't help but shout, "Why are you all gathered here Be careful not to get sunstroke!"

The villagers smiled heartily and replied, "Village chief, we just want to make some noise. It's rare for so many people from the old house to come back."

The village head smiled and waved his hand, giving everyone a reassurance.

"Don't worry, the County Princess will be staying here permanently from now on. Think about it, where there is a County Princess, how could it ever be dull Lord Berth, Mr. Wen, Young Master Seven, and Third Master will definitely visit often too!"

"That's right!" Everyone was delighted to hear this, finally relieved, and their smiles became even more genuine.

As night fell, the sun sank below the horizon. The earth, baked by the day's heat, finally cooled down.

A gentle evening breeze brought a touch of coolness, prompting the mischievous boys to shed their jackets and run around. They were often bitten by mosquitoes, crying out in pain.

But that didn't stop them from frolicking, darting here for a sip of soup and there to grab a steamed bun. Occasionally, they would brazenly sidle up to the wine table and snatch a chicken leg to satisfy their cravings.

The young and old men from the village and surrounding areas had filled seven or eight tables. The wine jars were opened, sealing mud aside, and they all took a bowl of wine to wet their whistles before even having their meal.

Lao Er Li, Mr. Wen, Liu Zhiheng and others were always down-to-earth at Suijin Beach. They chatted with the elderly about daily life and rural matters, showing a warm and friendly demeanor.

In the courtyard, three more tables were placed.

Jia Yin accompanied Auntie Wu, Xiao Cuier, and other old women and young girls. They ate and chatted idly, gossiping about this family and that, never worrying about running out of topics.

Jia Yin took this opportunity to repay some favors she owed from a while ago.

For example, if someone in the family has a new baby, you could give them a longevity lock and two pieces of fine cloth.

For example, if a family marries their daughter or son-in-law, they also give two good pieces of material, such as a pair of silver bracelets for the child.

The things aren't expensive, what's precious is the thoughtfulness.

Every woman who received a gift beamed with joy and happiness.

Even those who did not receive gifts, enthusiastically invited, "My Lady, my son will be getting married after autumn, at that time, My Lady must come and have a cup of wedding wine."

"Of course, when the time comes, my mother will remind me, and I'll have Baiyun make a batch of wedding cakes to add some festive cheer to the family." Jiayin readily agreed, without any hint of impatience.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

"I'm also worried that if the county princess stays in the palace for too long, she might not like our village anymore. People say the palace is like heaven, incredibly beautiful, with gold all over the walls!"

"Yes, I heard about it too. They said all the roads in the palace are made of white jade! It's such a waste, so good jade used for making bracelets would be much better, why would they use it to walk on"

Everyone chattered incessantly, and also listened to the pleasant sounds and laughed constantly.

Actually, no matter how prosperous the world is, nothing compares to the peace of mind that comes from one's own home.

However, she wouldn't preach at this moment, ruin the mood.

Everyone was just curious and saying a few lively words...

After a night of lively celebration, when morning came, the courtyard inevitably became a mess.

Jia Yin got up early, ate breakfast and came out from the backyard to see He Mama with the maidservants busy.

He Mam, afraid the mistress would find it displeasing, quickly stepped forward and smiled, "Miss, Madam had sent two big dogs earlier, they look very imposing. Have you seen them yet"

"Why don't we take them for a walk right now, get some fresh air Once the sun comes up, it'll be too hot outside. We won't even want to go out then."

"Okay!" Jia Yin responded, Shui Ling immediately ran to the front yard and led out two large dogs.

The big dog had been fed at home for a while and had long since shed its thin appearance. It was well-nourished with smooth fur, like fine satin.

Perhaps by nature they are clever, they seem to know very well who will be their source of good food and drink in the future.

Almost as soon as they were led to Jia Yin's presence, their tails wagged furiously, and their big heads rubbed against Jia Yin's skirt relentlessly.

Since Jia Yin didn't have any snacks on hand, she discreetly took out a few small fish cakes from her spatial storage bag while using her satchel as cover.

Two big dogs' eyes lit up instantly, their tongues rolled the fish cakes, and their tails wagged even harder...

Jia Yin brushed her fur babies for a while, then took them by the leash and started acting like a spoiled brat going on a tour of their territory.

It's a shame that one cannot bully men and women, truly wasting all this pomp and circumstance.

The villagers who were still drinking and toasting, shouldering each other, and boasting about their good life last night, have already gone down to the fields to work.

It hasn't rained for a long time, and recently it has become unbearably hot.

So, everyone started waking up before dawn and working until the sun was high in the sky.

Even so, every man in the village had his back sunburnt layer by layer.

As everyone knows, the food on our plates is the result of countless hardships and efforts.

The village head saw Jia Yin walking two big dogs from afar, so he laughed and walked out of the field, greeting them, "Da Hei Er Hei are truly human-like, knowing who their master is. They just met us and could already protect their master and let them move around."

Jia Yin patted the two dog heads and smiled, "Were Dahei and Erhei named by the village head That's very fitting! Our house is tidying up the yard, so Grandma He drove me out for a walk."

The village head nodded, hesitated for a moment, then glanced around to make sure there were no outsiders. Only then did he whisper, "Your Highness, last night I heard... that... the young man from the ancient times... is actually a big shot Won't he come back What if he… what if he doesn't care about our Suijin Beach anymore"

Jia Yin understood the elder's concerns and quickly comforted, "Village Chief, please don't worry, everything will be fine."

"The ancient pipes were brought back by Mr. Jiang from the outside world, they've been here for so many years, even if we haven't given them any special care, at least we haven't treated them unfairly, so there's no need to worry, just be at ease with our conscience."

Besides, Gu Guan's status is different now. Many people probably want to get close to him, but they lack connections and opportunities. Maybe they will try to reach out through us.

"So, the village head wants to keep everyone in the village under control. Whether it's outsiders or among ourselves, we shouldn't talk about this. We need to be careful and discreet if we want to live peacefully."

"Good, good!" the village head replied eagerly, "Rest assured, Your Highness. I'm also thinking about this and wanted to ask. I will definitely instruct everyone in the village to keep their mouths shut and not cause any trouble."

"Old Gu is a good lad, but he's in a different position now. We definitely shouldn't make things difficult for him."

He lowered his voice further, adding a hint of emotion and apprehension, and continued, “Even a beggar on the street who becomes a landlord wouldn’t want people to bring up their past. Let alone a prince of the nation who is destined to become emperor, we certainly shouldn’t expose his flaws.”

"Thinking back to when Old Gu first arrived at our Suijin Beach, he was as skinny as a bean sprout. Who could have thought this kid would turn out to be..."

Jia Yin, matching his tone, also lowered her voice and reminded him softly, "Village Chief, didn't we say not to bring up their past How come you brought it up yourself..."

"Oh dear, I've forgotten!" The village head jumped in fright and slapped his own head hard. "I'm getting so old, I forget things as I talk!"windy, aren't you afraid your tongues will get blown away!"The woman's low voice seemed to want to appease the situation. "Mrs. Li Si, we're just discussing this matter. After all, your son killed som...
