Chapter 669: Poison-Testing Tool Fox!

The whole family, including those half-grown children, can't hold out for long with just this.Old Li puffed on her cigarette pot, two puffs in quick succession. Her eyes, a little clouded, were filled...Jia Yin nodded, signaling the two to get busy. Then she wandered around the kitchen.

While everyone was busy, she swapped the eggs for those in the space and replaced the flour and vegetable oil as well.

But milk, there is none in the space, only that which is in the mat.

She quietly scooped a bowl and sent it into the space.

A little fox was gnawing on fruit when it caught a whiff of the strong smell of milk and ran over to drink it with gusto.

Jia Yin finally felt at ease. The three from San Tiáo are particularly picky eaters and have a certain spirit to them.

If the milk has a problem, she would absolutely not drink it.

Three little foxes, unaware they had been used as poison testers by their owner, drank the liquid and then licked their lips, still wanting more.

So, it lifted its head and continued to wait, hoping for another bowl from its master. Unfortunately…

Jia Yin instructed Chen Xi in a few words and went into the room to settle accounts.

When the sun was high in the sky, Baozhu brought her cousin Xing Ning over.

Jia Yin entertained them in the backyard for a while.

It's not okay to let them see how to make a cake, but it is okay to show them how to stir some popping corn.

Seeing the tiny corn kernels transform into fragrant popcorn after a burst of popping sounds, Baozhu and Xingning were both ecstatic.

After finishing the popcorn and a good amount of snacks on the second floor, the two were still talking non-stop.

Jia Yin listened with amusement on the side.

These two are truly siblings, both talkative as can be.

The two of them could carry a whole play on their own.

The Xing family had good tutoring, and Wan'er was also a gentle and graceful girl. Xing Ning was more lively, but she didn't lack the proper etiquette.

As noon approached, he took his leave, saying that he had an appointment with his schoolmates to buy writing implements.

Baozhu wrestled with her thoughts for a long while, ultimately choosing to go shopping and have fun over indulging in delicious food.

Because Jia Yin is around, delicious food will never be lacking. However, opportunities to go shopping with my cousin and meet classmates are quite rare.

Jia Yin saw that Bao Zhu was escorted by her nursemaid, who served Jia's second mistress. She did not stop her...

Just as he sent them out, Chen Xi finished both of his cakes.

To avoid being bumped into, the two large cakes were sent to an empty room and carefully placed on a table.

Jia Yin walked around the table, showering Chen Xi with praise for his cooking skills.

He was naturally gifted, and now with his practice, the cake decoration is increasingly lifelike and beautiful.

Chen Xi blushed at the praise, but her chest puffed out with pride, clearly overjoyed.

"Mr. Peng is a bit worried, he asked: 'Sir, birthday cakes are all pre-ordered in advance. What should we do about these two I'm afraid they won't sell.' "

Jia Yin waved her hand, "I'm giving this away. I'll wrap it nicely later and put it here. Someone will come to pick it up. You don't have to worry about it."

Peng Zhanguai and Chen Xi didn't suspect anything, thinking that the master was going to send them back to Suijintan.

So, the two of them packed it up by hand, using a specially custom-made wooden box tied with ribbons, very neat and tidy.

Jia Yin, while they were out, waved and put the cake into her spatial storage, then closed the door.

When the shop is busy, they are so preoccupied that they don't pay attention to much else.

Yetou Jia Yin brought some snacks and pastries to Hou Mansion. Since most of the goods in the front hall had been sold, Peng, the shopkeeper, only then remembered two large cakes.

As a result, he went to the empty room and saw that there was nothing on the table.

He immediately asked Chen Xi, "Did the master send someone to collect the cake How come the cake is gone"

"No one seems to be here!" Chen Xi shook his head, a bit flustered. He was about to step toward the empty room when Peng Zhuangui, who had just woken up, grabbed his arm.

"There's no need to go. It must have been taken away by someone from the other side," Peng, the shop owner, said in a low voice. "For tomorrow's cakes, don't rush to bake them. Wait a little longer, maybe something will change."

When it comes to baking cakes, Chen Xi is a whiz, but when it comes to human relations, he's lost.

At that moment, he pressed on, "Why is that, shopkeeper What if it delays the master's important affairs..."

"Just listen to me!" Peng, the shopkeeper, thought more and more that he was right. So he didn't explain much, just patted Chen Xi on the shoulder and went busy.

As expected, the next day when it was just beginning to get light, Shui Ling came to the shop to inform them.

"Peng Zhanguai, Chen Shifu, the county princess said yesterday's cake was good, so it was sent directly to the palace, no need to make another one."

After sending Shui Ling away, Chen Xi looked at Peng Zhuangui with admiration in his eyes. "Shopkeeper Peng, you're truly amazing! How did you know..."

"Shh!" Peng Zhàngguì motioned for him to be quiet, then whispered two words in his ear.

Chen Xi's eyes widened as he listened, and finally said with emotion: "Master is truly too clever. She's only a few years old, this is truly..."

Peng Zhanggui also laughed and said, "That's right, so let's work hard. Following such a good master, we definitely won't go wrong in the future."

She didn't say anything about what was happening among the white clouds, but she did say that Jiayin woke up early, dressed beautifully, ate a simple breakfast, and then got into the Hou Mansion carriage to go to the palace with her adoptive father.

During the Wan Shou Festival, officials of rank five or higher from Kyoto, as well as women with titles and imperial decrees, all had to enter the palace to kowtow.

Of course, only a part of them were able to stay for the birthday feast in the end.

With the new marquis's influence today, they still had to wait for most of the morning at the palace gate before the marquis and Jiayin were allowed to enter.

Jia Yin couldn't help but feel fortunate, "Fortunately Grandma took sick leave, otherwise waiting this long would have been too tiring."

The Marquis wanted to ruffle the little girl's hair, but seeing her dressed up so formally for once, he patted her shoulder instead and smiled: “Once you enter the palace, if there's anywhere that displeases you, just tell me.”

"You're still a child, no one can expect you to be perfect. It's okay to have occasional tantrums; it shows others that you're not easy to bully and they won't dare treat you casually."

"Understood, Father. Don't worry." Jiayin patted her belt and whispered, "I brought a lot of good things. If anyone dares to bully me, I'll let them know the might of the Little Overlord from Suijin Beach!"

"Haha!" the Lord couldn't help but laugh, pinching his daughter's chubby cheeks.

Whose little overlord is so cute and adorable!

Upon entering the palace, the father and daughter went straight to the Imperial Study.

The emperor had just finished his breakfast and was about to get dressed.

When good news arrives, she greets with proper etiquette and fills the air with joyful words. She manages to coax a hearty laugh from the Emperor, who then tells the Marquis, "Cousin, every time she does this, I'm afraid. I always feel like my precious things are in danger of being lost!"

The lord also laughed and said, “Today we shouldn't have to spend money, she brought birthday gifts instead.”

"Oh, I still have birthday gifts to receive" The Emperor feigned surprise and asked, "Quickly tell me, what good things did Fu Nuer bring"

Jia Yin smiled and replied, "Uncle Huang, just take a look with your own eyes."

Having said that, she waved her little hand at Yi Zongguan, the manager at the door.

Master Yi immediately ordered the servant outside to bring the things in.

Two large wooden boxes, plus a slightly smaller wooden box.

Soon, the large wooden crate was opened, revealing two kumquat trees inside.

The kumquat tree is about half a person's height, with lush green leaves. The branches are woven into the shape of a longevity character.

The golden oranges were only the size of an infant's fist, hanging full on the branches, like little stars, especially festive.

The Emperor was delighted.

Yi Zongguan was also constantly praising him, "Old slave remembers, Zhongshan Bo Ye's Hundred Flower Garden, often had good flower exhibitions.

A few days ago, a glazed greenhouse was built. Many officials who love flowers in the court often remember to go for a walk. I wonder if this kumquat also comes from Baihuayuan

"No wonder all the esteemed guests are willing to come here. Even this old slave, just looking at this expanse of emerald green and golden hues, can't help but feel a surge of joy."

The emperor nodded, picked up an orange at random, peeled it himself and took a bite… attendants of officials on duty. He then asked loudly, "Shao Yuan, what's going on"Mr. Wen understood and raised his voice, a grateful expression on his face as he replied, “Master, when I first met...
