The Jiang Family's Little Girl Has Magic Powers-Chapter 160: Three birds with One Stone
Chapter 160
So that night, the sound of weapons fighting and screams came from the state guest house, lasting nearly an hour.
People living near the state guest house all heard the screams. Those who were bolder even got up specially to go and check what was happening.
They were directly stopped by the Feathered Forest Guards standing guard outside: “When people see their fellow villagers, their eyes brim with tears, intimate with each other, what are you looking at? Go back to sleep!”
Not until the next day, when dozens of dead bodies covered with white cloth were carried out of the state guest house in one go did people realize that the two groups of Japanese people had fought with each other drunk in the state guest house, with heavy casualties.
Especially the group of Japanese people who had just entered the capital, not a single one survived.
Strangely, the usually invincible Feathered Forest Guards seemed to have all gone deaf, with no one going to investigate.
When asked about the reason, it turned out that their leader had a birthday yesterday, and everyone had accidentally drunk too much, thinking that the Japanese were practicing martial arts inside, so they didn't manage it.
This reason is really sufficient (weird).
Anyway, none of these little devils are good people, the fewer the better.
The next thing will be easy to handle.
Ban Motofusa and Ban Toshiju took over the other family's fleet, plus the ships they brought, totaling 50 ships, and exchanged them for “tycoon” Ban Kamezaburo. The two sides exchanged people for ships at the same time.
After obtaining the transfer of rights of Ban Kamezaburo, the Japanese envoy left the capital overnight and went to the seaside.
Now there is nothing more important than the treasure.
On the fifth day after the Japanese envoys left the capital, Xia Jingdi received a letter from Fuzhou. Yuan Yun and Shi Jing and others had successfully found the treasure hidden by Ban Kamezaburo on an unnamed barren island. The amount was extremely huge.
The 3,000 people they took carried it for two days and two nights before loading all these treasures onto the ships.
Not only that, they also left a lot of empty boxes filled with rocks, and even wrote a lot of taunting words on the box covers and stone walls of the treasure caves, which can be described as extremely rampant.
Xia Jingdi was extremely happy and ordered to heavily reward the meritorious officials. People like Shi Jing, the commander of the Zhongshan camp, and Feng Zhan and others have been rewarded and sealed.
As for Jiang Yuqing, the smelly cobbler strategist, he quietly went back to the hospital to sit in the hall, deeply hiding his merit and fame.
It can be imagined that when the Japanese get the specific address of the treasure from Turtle San and go to find it, they find only a pile of rocks left, how desperate they will be.
Not to mention making a penny, but also lost 50 treasure ships for this.
What is more deadly is that in order to make up for the treasure ships they killed to Xia, this is an endless vengeance, and death may be the only way for them.
Da Xia didn't lose a single soldier, but got 50 treasure ships and a huge amount of treasure, and alienated the two major forces in Japan. It can be said to be a triple win.
These things were all published on the front page headlines of Beijing, and the entire capital cheered.
After this, Feng Zhan and Jiang Yuhe would also return to Fuzhou. Before leaving, Jiang Yuqing specially held a farewell banquet for Feng Zhan at the Duke’s Mansion as a friend.
It was only then that he knew that Jiang Yuhe’s sweetheart was Feng Zhan’s youngest sister. On the eve of going to Beijing, Jiang Yuhe finally got Feng Zhan’s approval and agreed to ask a matchmaker to propose marriage to the Feng family after returning to Fuzhou.
Hearing that this was the future in-laws, the Jiang family attached great importance to it and accompanied them in person to warmly entertain them. Jiang Yuqing even took out his treasured monkey wine.
Feng Zhan himself was also happy to see his sister and Jiang Yuhe’s affair. This kid has a good background and a good family style.
The brothers in the family are harmonious, the women are of one heart, and there is no dirty business like other prominent families. Such a family is really not easy to find.
The few men drank a little too much and got drunk. Lu arranged for someone to send Feng Zhan to Jiang Yuhe's yard to settle him.
The next day, after breakfast, they officially left the capital. Jiang Yuqing took out a box and said to Jiang Yuhe: “There is a Beauty Pill in here, put it in the betrothal gift when proposing the marriage!”
Jiang Yuhe scratched his head and grinned silly: “Okay!”
The wind grew warmer day by day in April, until she happened to see a child chasing falling petals on the street, then she was shocked to realize that she had missed the most beautiful flowering period this year in her busyness.
This was the first time Jiang Yuqing had come to Taian Farm since returning to Beijing. After a year of development, the orchards had become even denser, and the various livestock raised on the farm were also extremely well bred.
Seeing her come, the veterans were overjoyed and came up one by one to greet her. Jiang Yuqing also responded to them one by one, asking them how they were recently and how the food was.
And told Yang Changyu that he must not save money on clothing and food, we have money.
Yang Changyu said that there are more fruits than last year.
Although there were many flowers blooming last year, after all, it was the first year that saplings were planted, and there were not many fruits, just enough for tourists to pick. This year I'm afraid there will be quite a lot left. 𝒻𝓻𝑒ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝑛𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓁.𝑐𝘰𝓶
Jiang Yuqing said this is a good thing. If there is more, just pick it and send it to the palace, send it to the barbecue shops in the city, and give them a fruit plate at that time if you point more.
The rest are sent to fresh fruit stores. If it really doesn’t work, just make canned food. Anyway, we have the skills and are not afraid of selling it.
As for pigs and sheep from Taian Farm, there are always not enough to sell, never unsold.
The cattle herd has also expanded a lot. He reported to the official government and sold a lot to surrounding villages. Now there are still nearly 300 cows.
It’s the same with chickens. Because of the high quality of chicken meat, it was directly ordered by the Internal Affairs Department of the palace. Therefore, except for Jiang’s Duke Mansion outside the palace, it is difficult to buy one outside.
Several veterans also made beekeeping, making more than a dozen boxes, scattered in the alfalfa field. Just last month, more than 170 catties of honey were collected. Yang Changyu sent 20 catties to the Duke’s Mansion, and the rest were sold by him. Jiang Yuqing told him not to sell honey any more, just keep it for everyone to make drinks, and supplement nutrition.
In the past war days, which one didn't leave a body full of problems, although they don't have to go to the battlefield now, there are still no easy days, need more supplements.
Yang Changyu agreed.
At noon, Jiang Yuqing stayed with everyone to eat a hot pot rice, it had been a long time and she missed it. The chef's craft remained the same as always.
Just about finishing the meal, two veterans brought two young daughters-in-law to pay respects to her. Only then did Jiang Yuqing know that some of them even found their partners among them and got married at the end of last year.
Among the two daughters-in-law, one is pregnant. Jiang Yuqing touched her pulse and told her that the fetus was very healthy. The young daughter-in-law happily thanked him, then stood by her husband.
Jiang Yuqing didn’t have time to attend such a happy event, but the red envelopes still had to be made up for one.
After the two new couples left, Jiang Yuqing told Yang Changyu that starting from this year, he would take out another 200 taels of silver from her share of profits each year as a marriage and breeding fund for everyone.
There are subsidies for veterans to get married and have children. Give ten taels for marriage and one or two for giving birth.
It is not easy for disabled people to have a family, with this subsidy, at least when it comes to housing and dowry, it will not be so straitened.
After returning from Taian Farm to the city, Jiang Yuqing also went around to see Gu Dacheng father and son in the east city.
The grocery business was still going well, and Gu Mingmu had also entered the academy to start reading with the teacher. From the smiling faces on them, it can be seen that their lives were going very well.
Jiang Yuqing left them a chicken brought back from the farm, and after wandering the street for a while, she went home.
The next day, Jiang Yuqing unusually got up late. After waking up, she felt something wrong with herself, sticky, and there was a faint bloody smell.
Her mind was blank for a few seconds at first, then she remembered something. Lifting the quilt, the sheets were full of red.
She came on her first period.
She hurriedly climbed up, went to Ling Realm to find a package of sanitary napkins to pad it, then changed her clothes. Then she casted a cleaning spell to restore the dirty sheets and quilts to be clean.
After thinking about it, she still told Lu about this. After listening, Lu was overjoyed, saying that her daughter had grown into a young lady.
Lu asked if she knew how to use sanitary pads. Only then did Jiang Yuqing remember this very important thing for women.
She found several breathable cotton women's underwear and a pile of sanitary napkins from the supermarket in Ling Realm, and pushed them to Lu, telling Lu how to use them.
Lu said gently as she stroked her daughter's hair: "It's nothing. Even immortals nod off sometimes. Besides, you've given your mother enough things already. Even if you never remember this for the rest of your life, it doesn't matter."
Although Jiang Yuqing insisted again and again that she was perfectly healthy without any discomfort, Lu still asked Doctor Qiu to take her pulse.
Doctor Qiu said she was as strong as an ox and her body had absolutely no problems at all. But Lu still forced her to rest at home, especially not letting her touch cold water.
With no other choice, she had to listen to her mother's words. She had to pamper her own mother.
She originally thought Lu was exaggerating enough already. But on the fifteenth, when the imperial concubines went to the palace to pay their respects, Empress Qin didn't see Jiang Yuqing enter the palace, so she asked where she had gone.
Lu secretly told Empress Qin about her getting her first period. Empress Qin was so happy. She directly rewarded her with a large pile of nourishing items and good medicinal materials, which were delivered by Jing Yan.
It was simply outrageous.
"I heard you're not feeling well? What's wrong?" Jing Yan sounded worried. The little girl was always healthy, apart from when Tan Laosan had poisoned her as a child and when she suffered backlash from using forbidden arts in Suzhou. She almost never got sick.
"I'm fine! Really, don't listen to their nonsense. And I'm a doctor myself. If I was sick, wouldn't I know it?"
"You're lying!" He suddenly became very serious: "I can clearly smell blood on you. You're injured!"
"...," Jiang Yuqing lowered her head in embarrassment, her toes curling inward. Big brother, were you a police dog in your past life? How is your nose so sharp?
"Why aren't you talking! Qingqing, look up at me." You never used to hide anything from me!"
Jing Yan was very angry. His beloved girl was no longer candid with him like she used to be. This made him feel angry, and also quite heartbroken.
Jiang Yuqing had no way to avoid this. She looked completely helpless and said bluntly: "I'm not injured. I just got my period."
"What is a period?" Jing Yan was confused and determined to get to the bottom of this issue.
"A period is menstruation, monthly period, red flower, red grass. Do you understand now?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yuqing watched with wide eyes as the handsome youth's jade-like face instantly turned red, like a boiled lobster.
"I unders—understand! You rest well. I—I'll leave first."
After speaking, Jing Yan quickly turned and scrambled away awkwardly. His retreating figure looked utterly embarrassed.
Jiang Yuqing was left watching his hurried figure disappear into the distance, laughing loudly.
Little one, she was the one going through this yet he was the first to feel embarrassed. This guy really was quite innocent.
