TVSWWD - Chapter 113 - First Month Gift

 Murong Yun still couldn't believe it at this time. The county guard was actually so obedient. There was no Imperial Decree in her orders.

To prevent Emperor Murong Xia from being unwilling to expose Long Chuan's power, she did not ask the Emperor for instructions, but wrote directly.

She only had half hope at first, but she didn't expect the governor to be so capable. Looking at the time of this reply, he must have agreed immediately.

The letter also said that Lin Ling, the person who wrote the letter, was the adopted son of Governor Lin Yuan and would personally transport the provisions.

It seems that the County Governor is not only obedient, but also takes her orders very seriously. He is worthy of being the old department left by her mother, and he is very capable.

At this time, Murong Yun had automatically imagined the Governor Lin Yuan who was the same generation as her mother, the eldest princess, as a kind-hearted, loyal and reliable old man.

Thinking that the old governor was so easy to talk to, she couldn't lag behind as a high-ranking official. She also thought about the last time she replied to the other party's letter and asked her to wear more clothes in the cold weather.

Long Chuan County is a coastal county with strong sea winds. The Emperor Uncle had just given her some nice white fox furs in the past few days, which she'll give to the old county governor.

The elderly are inherently afraid of the cold. Such a good county governor must live a long life.

"Yunjin, go and give all the new white fox furs that Emperor Uncle gave me in the warehouse to Governor Lin Yuan, and then pick out some good Liujing snacks and send them to Long Chuan."

"Yes......"

Li Yunjin looked at Murong Yun, who had a rather expressive face, and knew in her heart that she was probably thinking of something else.

But as a female official in the princess's palace, she naturally had to obey her master's orders, so she had to go down and ask the chef in the palace who was good at craftsmanship to make some snacks that were soft, easy to melt, and could be stored.

The cook in the mansion was an old person when the eldest princess was still alive. She had also served as a companion when the princess went to Tianhai Kingdom to marry.

Therefore, she was quite respectable in the mansion, so when she was making snacks, she curiously asked more questions.

After all, Murong Yun is the only master in the house now, and she is not one who likes to eat soft and easy-to-melt pastries.

She thought that if she gave it as a gift, it would have to be perfect, so as not to damage the face of the family, so she wanted to get to know the recipient better.

"Manager Li, who are we going to give this pastry to? It needs to be soft, maybe an old person?"

The cook asked while selecting ingredients from the storage room, thinking about whether the noble man had a good stomach and which ingredients were not available.

"It's the governor of Long Chuan County, Lin Yuan. Judging from the princess's face, this governor may be an old man."

Li Yunjin didn't know the deeds of this county governor. After all, he was far away from Liujing and had no reputation. She could only guess from the expression and actions on Murong Yun's face that he was quite old.

Otherwise, she wouldn't give these old things to the elderly. It's just a pity that those white fox furs are beautiful and pleasing to the eye if worn by a pretty girl. But if worn by an old man, they are probably... a waste?

"Governor Lin Yuan?"

Unlike Murong Yun and Li Yunjin, this cook had served the eldest princess when she was young, but she had met this one before.

"It's strange, why do you want to give this gentleman a softened one? This gentleman is in good health, but he is very good. It's better to give him something he likes to eat."

The cook was deeply impressed by this county governor. It should be said that going forward twenty years, this Governor Lin Yuan is a handsome young man who could not be matched by anyone in Liujing City.

That appearance, that majesty, that temperament were simply amazing, even if she thinks about it now, they are still very distinct.

But I don’t know how many ladies dream of having him for a husband.

In particular, the governor's taste and favorite snacks were exactly the same as those of the eldest princess, so she remembered them clearly.

"What, have you seen him??"

The cook's reaction aroused Li Yunjin's curiosity. Seeing that the cook's old face still had a hint of a young girl with a crush, she was even more surprised. This cook had seen a lot in her early years, and she was usually quite a bit ahead of her head. 

Seeing Li Yunjin ask like this, the cook immediately straightened her back, with a bit of showoff on her face:

"Of course, this County Governor Lin Yuan is really awesome. I think back then..."

Unfortunately, just when the cook was about to brag a little and talk about the county governor's interesting past, the maid outside the door called Li Yunjin out to deal with matters in the mansion.

"I think back then, the county governor was an extremely shy and clean young man."

The cook shook her head with a bit of regret on her face. Everyone loves beauty. When the county governor was sent out by the princess, the eyes of the little maids in the house were red with tears.

Murong Yun didn't know that this was happening. She picked up the remaining small jade bell made of thunder stone in the long box, packed it up and went out.

Of course, it was the General's Mansion next door that she climbed over the wall. This small jade bell was only about the size of a thumb. When the manufacturer asked her for extra stones, she immediately thought of this little niece.

As a rare mutated lightning talent, Dumpling's Thunder Controlling Stone, is the most suitable spiritual weapon for her.

This little bell will be of great benefit if carried with her from birth to consolidate spiritual energy.

Moreover, she also prepared something extra for this bell.

Originally, she wanted to give this as a First Month gift for Dumplings, but now she had to rush to Liao Provincial City, so she had to give it in advance.

"I've met the princess."

The maid in front of Li Jiang's door bowed her knees when she saw Murong Yun from a distance. After all, the princess was now a frequent visitor to the general's mansion. She often came to tease the little miss several times a day.

"Hmm."

Murong Yun nodded and signaled the two of them to get up, then she opened the door to see Li Jiang and the Dumpling.

"A'yun, you look very happy today?"

Li Jiang can now get out of bed, but for the sake of her health, she still cannot go out, especially now that it is winter and the wind is very cold.

"Of course, there are good things happening today."

Murong Yun smiled and nodded, and immediately took out the small jade bell in her sleeve pocket. The dark delicate bell had a clear jade ringtone, which was not noisy at all, but was very pleasant to the ear.

Not to mention, under the light, purple spirit seeds visible to the naked eye dance under the mysterious lines on the bell's surface.

The color was exactly the same as Dumpling's natural eye color, which was the unique purple color of thunder spiritual power.

"This, this is?"

There was a bit of surprise on Li Jiang's face. She had seen many good spiritual weapons in the General's Mansion over the years, and she also had a talent for spiritual cultivation. Naturally, she knew that this kind of spiritual weapon was directly active on the surface. 

Moreover, this is a rare thunder-type spiritual weapon!

This must be the magical weapon specially prepared by Murong Yun for Dumpling, and she is the only one who can get something good that the General's Mansion can't find in a short time.

"Dumpling's First Month gift, come here, little Dumpling, see if you like it?"

Murong Yun's next words were spoken to Dumpling held in Li Jiang's arms.

Dumpling was not even a month old yet, so she just lay in her mother's arms and looked around with her round eyes, not recognizing anyone yet.

But she is still very familiar with Murong Yun, her aunt who appears every day.

In particular, the other party was squatting down, holding a small ringed bell that could make sounds, dangling in front of her, and she was immediately attracted to it.
