Chapter 730: Being a Little Poor Is Also Good!

s will be given. 。Everyone was delighted and praised the village chief, "Uncle, you are amazing! An old soldier is worth two!" The village chief was even happier. Before he could wave his pipe and bo...Both the elder sister-in-law and younger sister-in-law were startled. The elder sister-in-law asked, "What's wrong, Huier Are you shy because our mother mentioned your marriage"

"My little sister is also laughing and persuading: 'In front of Auntie, what do you have to be shy about! Auntie, just like your mother, is all for your good.'"

Yet, little Huier clung to her mother's arm and cried even harder!

Both the sister-in-law and her mother-in-law found it strange, so they quickly pressured her to tell them.

Finally, Hui'er said, "When I went to visit Bao Lei before, she taught me... how to smoke. It was the kind of long cigarette holder that old farmers in the countryside smoked. After smoking it, you feel like a god, it's really fun and comfortable."

Later on, I couldn't help but go find her again and we smoked a few times. During the flower-viewing party, she took me and some of her friends for another smoke...

Last night I couldn't sleep because I kept thinking about smoking, and I still want a drag right now.

"Mother, am I sick..."

Before she could finish her sentence, a roar of anger came from outside the door, "What did you say!"

The head of the household, dressed in official robes, walked in from outside. Looking at his daughter, his expression was full of fear and anger.

He directly pinched the girl's arm and frantically interrogated her.

"Be clear, how many times did you smoke that cigarette in total Did you get addicted at all What did the Bao family make you do"

Huier started to cry in pain, but more so from fear. She choked out, "No, Father! Bao Lei didn't make me do anything. She just said this smoke gold is expensive and next time she wants me to buy it with silver, a box costs ten taels!"

"It's over, it's all over!" The head of the household collapsed onto the ground, wishing he could just pass out.

Although he was half-scared to death by the power of Fusheng Paste in court just now, most of the time he still held a mentality of watching the excitement.

Only now, when the knife has cut into our own flesh, do we realize how desperate this is!

If word got out that the young lady had also used Rouge de Fuhong, how would she ever get married

Even the entire family's daughters would be implicated...

Such things happened in many households after the fall of the dynasty.

All the young ladies who were close to the princess and had attended the flower-viewing banquet were filled with trepidation.

It's understandable for a woman who has smoked opium to be afraid and worried.

The most wronged was going to the flower viewing party but not being targeted by Bao Lei, nor being pulled aside for a smoke.

So, things really are two-sided.

Sometimes, when a family is a little bit poor, it can actually be a good thing.

At least it won't be coveted, or people trying every means to drag it down...

In Kunning Palace, the Empress was pulling on the Third Princess, constantly interrogating her.

"Tell me, were you at the Chang Princess's residence Did you or did you not use that fufu cream Speak honestly! If you lie, I will kill you!"

The Empress was truly terrified, for the first time she told her daughter about fighting and killing.

The Third Princess, impatiently, replied, "Mother, I've already said it, there is none! No!"

At this time, the emperor also arrived.

Even if he disliked this silly daughter of his, she was still his flesh and blood.

He was furious to hear that his little sister had snuck out of the palace and gone to the flower viewing banquet at the Princess's mansion.

At this point, he joined the ranks of those interrogating his daughter with a cold face.

"You said, why did you go to the Princess's Mansion yesterday Did you actually meet that Furong Cream"

The third princess, facing her father, didn't dare to be as dismissive as before. She quickly said: "It was all Bao Lei's doing. She said that wretched girl Li Jia Yin..."

She blurted it out in a panic and quickly corrected herself, “No, no, Bao Lei said that Princess Kangle would also be going to the flower viewing banquet, so I just wanted to join in the fun.”

As a result, County Princess Kangle was too quick-witted and didn't lose out at all, making me furious.

Bao Lei tried to mediate, saying there was something fun for us to play with. She took me and Kang Le County Princess to an attic and brought out a smoking rod and a jade box.

"Bao Lei opened the jade box, and County Princess Kang Le said it stank and then vomited, spraying me all over with filth!"

"And then" The Emperor's eyes lit up as he pressed, "And then, did you or did you not smoke that pipe"

"Of course not!" The Third Princess pouted, angrily saying, "It's all Kang Le County Lord's fault. She threw up and then went home to see a doctor. I'm covered in filth, what kind of mood would I be in to play So I came back to the palace."

"Good!" The emperor finally broke into a smile and couldn't help but praise, "Fu Niao'er is the smartest. She must have noticed something was wrong and deliberately stirred up this mess."

"Luckily, we had Fu Niao. Otherwise, you would have been smeared with the Frangipani cream yesterday!"

The third princess didn't believe it, nor was she convinced. She wanted to speak, but the emperor cut her off.

The Emperor commanded the Empress, “Prepare a generous gift and send it to Suijin Beach. From now on, keep a close eye on the Third Princess. If you dare let her leave the palace again, both you and she will be confined to your quarters.”

Although the Empress thought the Emperor was making a fuss over nothing, and she didn't particularly like Princess Kangle or the Li family, she dared not contradict the Emperor's words. She could only reluctantly agree.

The Emperor was unwilling to look at these foolish mother and daughter pair any longer, so he got up and left.

On the way, he still instructed Manager Yi, "Go to the inner store and choose some good things for Fu Niuer. This child is truly blessed. She saved the princess again, she must be richly rewarded!"

"Yes, Your Majesty," Yi the head eunuch chuckled. "This old slave will pick that solid gold jewelry for the Miss, she's sure to love it."

The emperor burst into laughter, “That’s right, Fu Niuer is a money fanatic, she’ll definitely like it.”

In Li's courtyard at Suijin Beach, taking advantage of the fine weather today, Grandma Tian and Grandma He blocked the screen to keep Mrs. Wen and Wenjuan warm, allowing them to sit quietly under the eaves for a while, breathing in the fresh air.

There's always a bit of stuffiness when burning charcoal in the house during winter.

While normal people are fine, they're carrying a child so they need to be more careful.

Jia Yin has to hand in her needlework assignment this afternoon. She's currently putting the finishing touches on it, with her teacher and aunts helping her "improve" the quality. In reality, she's looking for someone to help her out!

Before the New Year, she was busy giving and receiving gifts. After the New Year, she was busy playing with her brothers. Jia Yin had long since forgotten the "homework" that Hui Niang had prepared for her.

Last night, Huiniang came over to chat, and suddenly mentioned something that made Jiayin jump like a rabbit caught in a trap!

Mrs. Wen and Wenjuan didn't want to help the chubby girl cheat, but the chubby girl hugged their arms, calling them "good master" and "dear sister-in-law," and they immediately surrendered.

Today, it's rare to have Tao Hongying at home. Wenjuan jokingly said, "Aunt Four, when you were pregnant with Huifang, did you eat a lot of honey"

"This little Foxie is so sweet, she managed to confuse both me and my aunt!"

Tao Hongying burst into laughter and replied, "When I was pregnant with Fu Niaoer, our family was going through a hard time. We couldn't even afford enough to eat."

When she was born, they were on the run, just happy she survived.

"This girl, she's just naturally good with words. I don't know who she got it from. Our family is all tongue-tied!"

Just then, Old Mrs. Li came out of the house, and Jia Yin immediately said: "I'll follow my grandma. My grandma can't speak, but she's very skilled with her hands!"

Lao Li beamed with pride and quickly said, “That’s right! Of course, my granddaughter follows me everywhere. There’s no place better!”

Everyone burst into laughter, they couldn't help it. Just look at that narcissistic air, these two, the grandfather and grandson, were truly alike in every way.

At this time, mischievous schoolchildren came rushing in like a swarm of bees, shouting loudly, "Grandma, people have arrived! So many people!"

Here are three more chapters for you~~~ cheek, which was soft like tofu.The chubby boy was disturbed by a bad dream, wrinkled his nose, and continued to sleep.Jia Yin's fingers reached up, wanting to tease some more, but was caught by gran...
