Chapter 2721: Chapter 2721: All Right, Stop Whining
"We must quickly return and gather provisions, gather provisions."
He muttered to himself as he got on the horse carriage.
Grain in the capital isnât expensive; with several thousand taels of silver, we can buy a lot. Itâs not like directly donating those several hundred thousand taels, nearly one million taels.
Moreover, doing so can put in a good word for us with the official at the Ministry of Revenue, and maybe the ears of the two princes might hear about it, and theyâll remember my good deeds.
If the Emperor knows about this, I can also showcase my loyalty to the Emperor, wouldnât that be right?
This is a great blessing. If the Patriarch Jin hadnât mentioned it, I wouldnât have thought of it. Indeed, friends should be worthwhile. Itâs wise to reduce contact with those who backstab behind your back.
...
On the lotus boat, the four children felt as if they blinked and were on the big boat, looking bewildered.
"Mother, the lotus flowers, the lotus leaves, the lotus flowers and lotus leaves are still on the small boat."
Qian Yinuo wasnât surprised at all. This is just how his parents operate. If they didnât bring them back, that would be abnormal.
But the lotus flowers and lotus leaves he painstakingly picked are on the small boat; those canât be lost.
"Alright, stop howling."
An Jiuyue sighed helplessly and lightly tapped the little oneâs head twice.
"Later, your father will bring back what you picked; he wonât forget."
"Thatâs good, thatâs good."
The little baby took a deep breath, relieved that those hard-picked items wouldnât be lost.
As long as they arenât lost, everything can be discussed.
"Mother, letâs fry the lotus flowers when we return to the mansion. The elder brothers mustnât have tasted them." He smacked his small lips, softly pleading, having not had fried lotus flowers in a long time.
"Alright, Iâll fry some lotus flowers for you."
An Jiuyue couldnât resist her son, so she decided to pick some Seven-Colored Lotus Flower from the space for frying.
As for these normal lotus flowers they just picked, let the children play with them. Naturally, she wouldnât fry them for eating. Those cultivating should eat what theyâre supposed to eat.
"Have you played enough today?"
"Not yet."
Qian Yinuo replied.
How long has he played? His parents finished their tasks, and he just picked some lotus flowers and leaves. Havenât done much else.
"I only picked this little."
At this time, Qian Jiyun brought all the lotus flowers and leaves that the little ones picked onto the boat. An Jiuyue looked at the pile of lotus flowers and leaves, shaking her head in embarrassment.
"Whatâs this, do you want to take the entire Moonlight Lotus embankment back with you? If you keep picking, wonât the whole pond be stripped bare by you?"
That pile is huge, yet they say they havenât picked much. How much are they planning to pick before itâs enough?
"How is it stripped bare? Although this looks like a lot, if Nuo Nuo and his brothers each take some, it wonât be much left. How little is it? He thought it was too little, wishing to pick a boatful back."
"Time to go back."
An Jiuyue held onto Qian Yinuo and An Yilu, while Qian Jiyun held onto An Yixing and Yi Zhou, the family of six got off the boat.
The steward, with keen eyesight, had the young mastersâ lotus flowers and leaves packed up and sent back to the mansion. Meanwhile, over by the Emperor, heâd also received the booklet the steward sent into the palace.
...
"Tsk."
Looking at the words recorded on the booklet, the Emperor couldnât help but let out a light tsk.
"They truly are delighted to spend this silver!"
