Chapter 683: It's best to be prepared

not developing in the direction that everyone likes...While the Li family was busy, it was another day of grand court on the second day.Everyone thought it would be as usual, with the Six Ministries...Unbeknownst to the relief agency, the two half-sized youngsters had uncovered a major lead.

Only the Li family at Suijintan had all fallen asleep by now.

Jia Yin still entered the space as usual, slept for three hours first, and then energetically started to move around.

It's almost the end of the year, and both my family and the Hou Mansion need to prepare for the New Year's visits.

If it were only relatives like the Liu family and the Wen family, there wouldn't be too much trouble.

After all, we're all on the same team. Just pick what's practical.

But this year there are also the Jia family and the Xing family.

And Elder Brother and Sixth Brother both passed the scholar examination. The Dean Zhou and Mr. Tang from the academy need to be properly prepared with gifts, not just New Year's gifts, but also gifts of thanks.

Even the palace had to send three portions.

Before, she took advantage of her young age and only moved around with the Emperor.

But this time on Longevity Festival, seeing both the Empress Dowager and the Empress, if one were to leave them out during the gift-giving occasion, it would be easily seized upon by those with ill intentions. They could then accuse her of being disrespectful.

This is also the reason why she is unwilling to frequently enter the palace.

It's really like pulling out a radish and bringing up the dirt. The things that need to be considered are increasing, becoming more complicated and draining!

Although her stepfather and second uncle said not to worry about it and just be herself, not to put pressure on herself.

But she wasn't a child anymore, couldn't be so selfish and irresponsible.

The court was dangerous, she couldn't help, all she could do was not add to their trouble.

Fortunately, she wasn't particularly outstanding in her past life, but after working for a few years, she had learned some basic social skills.

Try your best to be thorough and meticulous, you'll be able to handle things pretty well.

So, she decided to think up some novel yet not too eye-catching Southern fruits to put in the New Year's gifts.

The little fox follows behind and in front of its owner, like a loyal space manager.

Sometimes it would bring its master an orange, sometimes grapes on a string. It was busy and happy.

Jia Yin walked and ate, finally choosing oranges, purple grapes, and bananas as her three fruits.

Oranges are a popular fruit that everyone loves to eat, and they are also easy to store.

Grapevines and banana trees, all within the greenhouse.

Both Mrs. Jia Er and Mrs. Xing had seen it with their own eyes, so they wouldn't doubt it.

As for the rest of the rambutans and mangoes, they can remain in their space, beautiful in their solitude.

The time is not yet ripe, it's not their time to make a grand appearance!

With these three kinds of fruit, plus the apples picked from the orchard in autumn, there are four kinds.

Plucking some greens grown in the warm room is definitely the best and most precious gift of winter!

You could even add two pots of blooming flowers to enhance the elegance...

Behind the small courtyard, the plot of land was devoted to planting medicinal herbs. Apart from a small patch of precious ginseng and other rare medicinal ingredients, every corner was dedicated to cultivating one crop after another of various herbal remedies.

Occasionally, a crop of grain is planted between the rows to give the black soil a change of "flavor".

Luckily, land is silent but also the most reliable.

It has always silently nurtured all crops without a single complaint.

In the vegetable garden, colorful vegetables are still the main attraction, after all, they need to be consumed daily at home.

The cyclamen from over there, also come back every few days to transport a truckload. Jiahuan personally comes back to pick it up.

This elder brother was taciturn, yet his mind was incredibly perceptive.

Every time, he would keep meticulous records. Even when these vegetables were brought in from the fairies and cooked to be sold to customers, every detail of the profit was clearly accounted for.

Jia Yin knew that he was coming back to divide the silver with her, as instructed by her uncle. She didn't stop him.

On either side were relatives who had always loved and cared for her. Her uncle and brother were willing to share their silver with her, so she accepted it gratefully.

Afterwards, she always found a way to give them back more....

Life at home is good these days. Besides vegetables and fruits, we no longer need Jia Yin to secretly supplement our income.

So, in the autumn, the rabbits in the space were given away by her to most of the mischievous boys in the village.

Only a few illustrious mother rabbits remained.

Even though they were old and unable to reproduce, Jia Yin didn't abandon them.

She plans to provide for these mother rabbits in their old age until the end of their lives.

After all, it's not a difficult thing to do. Just throw in a cabbage or a carrot every day.

But the chicken, duck, and goose coop was still bustling with activity.

Big and small, there are dozens of them. Not only do they eat a lot, but they also call loudly, making the small courtyard filled with the vibrancy of life!

All the eggs from the chickens, ducks, and geese were saved by Jia Yin.

Cooked and pickled made up most of it, with a small portion being raw.

Ensure it's always ready to eat, and you can always take out a basket, whether stir-fried or steamed.

The fat pigs in the pigpen have been continuously delivered to the village pigpen by Jia Yin.

Firstly, she raised the pig to a large size, so she couldn't bear to kill it.

Secondly, there are more pigs, which eat more and excrete more.

Although she can telekinesis, being a cat litter cleaner is really unbearable...

Last but not least, it's the little lamb.

Its mother was considered Jia Yin's wet nurse. She fed her for half a month after she was born, and then went to the Sun family afterward. What happened to her later is unknown.

Jia Yin, pondering this, didn't have the heart to kill it. Even in autumn, she asked Ye Shan to help it find a husband.

Now the little lamb's belly is big, she will soon be a mother and give milk.

After a good night's sleep, take a goat milk bath, have a snack, and supplement with calcium. Then there's hope.

The courtyard in front of the small yard, after several adjustments, is now filled with shelves.

When autumn arrived at Zhengjiazhuang, the order to store grain was carried out very thoroughly.

Later, Ye Shan passed the word along, and they steamed all the rice they had bought into rice balls. The noodles were steamed into buns, and the millet flour was made into flatbreads.

Yishan went to Zhengjiazhuang every other day to bring back all these steamed buns. Jia Yin stored them in this front courtyard, just in case.

Jiayin understands the importance of food all too well after experiencing two escapes and even hunger from birth.

Even with this magical space at her disposal, she still didn't feel very safe inside.

What's more, now that both my stepfather and father are leading troops, ready to march north at any time.

Tens of thousands of troops marching north, that's tens of thousands of mouths to feed!

She always had a vague feeling, as if one day she would be troubled by having to feed tens of thousands of mouths.

Well, she decided to get a head start and prepare right away.

When fortune smiles, lay your plans carefully. Wait until you are surrounded on all sides, then there will be a way out!

Especially after the incident with passing through the clouds, she held a grudge against the Emperor for his fickleness.

Zheng Jiazhuang is the maternal clan of both the foster father and the emperor, and the people left behind are also loyal to both the foster father and the emperor.

The father-in-law's relationship with the Li family, of course, needs no further explanation.

But Your Majesty...

She couldn't fully trust the Zheng Family Manor!

In two more days, the last batch of dried rations would be finished, and she wasn't planning to continue any further.

If there's a chance, ask your godfather first and then decide...

As for the servants from Zhengjiazhuang, including Shui Ling and Shui Yun, there are now a dozen or so serving the Li family.

Every person in this operation is loyal and reliable, and there's no reason to change any of them.

After Jia Yin made the decision, she sought out a renowned physician to consult. She wanted to explore if there was any subtle way to completely control these people without leaving a trace.

They are loyal and therefore safe and sound.

If they were to betray her one day, she would not be without the power to stop them!

After inspecting her "kingdom," Jiayin continued to delve into her room, diligently studying.he second thing is to bring along the Qi Jia boy.Qi Jia's boy is the one whose father died in battle earlier, and whose mother took the compensation money and ran away, leaving him behind.He was only...
