TVSWWD - Chapter 114 - Movement

 "Wu wu..."

Dumpling grinned her protruding gums and drooled immediately, her purple pupils looking at the jade bell without blinking.

The person and bell are of the thunder attribute, and the thunder aura in the air is pulled. Dumpling only thinks that this bell is very good, and she tries hard to reach out and grab it.

"It seems she likes it very much."

With a smile on her lips, Murong Yun put the bell that Dumpling was staring at into her hand.

"A'yun gave it to her. Of course, she likes it very much."

Seeing this, Li Jiang also smiled softly and took out a handkerchief to wipe the saliva of Dumpling who was addicted to playing with the bell.

"Jingle~."

For a long time after that, the bell's clear sound never stopped, until she got tired of playing with the dumplings, and she didn't forget to hold it till she fell asleep.

"She also knew it was a treasure."

Li Jiang looked at her funny and wrapped the dumpling tightly in a quilt, but did not take off the jade bell.

Naturally, the longer it stays with her daughter, the better this auxiliary spiritual weapon will be, as it will help to enlighten her spiritual energy in the future.

"Sister-in-law, in addition to this jade bell, I also prepared a hundred Luan guards for Dumpling to protect her. This jade bell is a token. You must not lose it."

"When Dumpling is one month, follow the written method to help Dumpling be recognized as the jade bell's owner."

Murong Yun looked at the dumpling with only a small red face exposed in the quilt, and took out the special instructions written in a small parchment roll from her sleeve pocket.

A whole hundred Luan Guards were specially used to protect a little baby who was already being protected by the general's guards. To be honest, it was a bit exaggerated.

Li Jiang subconsciously took the parchment. Although she was moved by Murong Yun's generous gesture, she also felt that it was a bit too much.

"A'yun, what danger can there be for Dumpling? It's not easy to train your Luan guards. Giving them to Dumpling would be a waste."

Those Luan Guards, she had heard Hua Fu mention, were all carefully trained spiritual practitioners, and they were all fifth level or above. They were the top dead warriors among the nobles of South Chu.

But Murong Yun had a serious look on her face that Li Jiang couldn't understand. She grabbed Li Jiang's hand very seriously and explained:

"How could it be wasted? Dumpling is the third-generation descendant of the General's Mansion, and now there is a war in the border town. She is also an extremely rare person with a talent for lightning, and she was also born with strange eyes."

"When she is one month old, this matter will be known to the South Chu families, and there will be many scheming people among them."

"There are not many Luan Guards here. They are just for peace of mind and to be prepared. Sister-in-law should arrange a place for them as soon as possible. The Luan Guards will be sent tomorrow."

In fact, these were Murong Yun's excuses. What she was really worried about was the Heavenly Way, and she didn't know if that dog Heavenly way would secretly cause trouble and take her little niece back.

Naturally, she can't say these words to Li Jiang, she can only give some random reasons.

"A'yun thought it over carefully. In this case, Eldest sister-in-law will accept it shamelessly."

Li Jiang didn't understand the reason and felt very sorry for her hard-won daughter, so she didn't shirk it anymore.

But she still feels a little weird in her heart. The first-month ceremony for dumplings will be held in five days. Why did Murong Yun give this gift in advance?

Before Li Jiang could ask the questions in his mind, Hua Fu hurried home after finishing his official business.

These days, His Majesty has promoted Hua Fu. Now Hua Fu has finally gotten rid of Xue Cang and is already the Magistrate of Jingzhao.

There are a lot of trivial matters in the Jingzhao Mansion, especially in Liujing. Just grabbing one on the street will involve a lot of things. Therefore, the position of the Magistrate of Jingzhao Mansion is not easy to sit down.

Fortunately, during this period of time, everyone knew that Murong Yun, the Princess of Shaohua, was very close to the General's Mansion, so everyone was very supportive of Hua Fu.

In this way, Hua Fu's management was actually much easier than those of the former Jingzhao governors.

This is probably because evil people will have their own troubles. After all, even the biggest scourge of Liujing is on his side, and ordinary people don't dare to jump around.

"Eldest brother, what happened today?"

Murong Yun looked at the sadness in Hua Fu's eyebrows, and it seemed that the other person's mood was not beautiful.

And today, this new father, who is always eager to get home, didn't come back until after dark.

"It's not a big deal, just some trivial matters, which takes a little time to deal with."

Hua Fu shook his head slightly, thinking that Li Jiang was still taking care of herself, and saying more would only add to her worries, so he didn't say anything.

In fact, what is holding him back today is still the matter of his father Hua Yan. Recently, Baili Shuangxue held some kind of donation event in the city, saying it was to raise money and food for the soldiers at the border.

All the powerful and wealthy families donated a lot just for the sake of face.

In this way, a lot of food and grass was really raised, but transportation was indeed a huge problem.

For this reason, His Majesty immediately summoned several officials and ministers who were proficient in transportation to discuss. Because he was the eldest son of the general's palace, he was also summoned as an exception.

It was originally a good thing, but in the writings, some people brought up the matter of Marquis Luo's unwillingness to donate food, they brought up the matter of the Western Shu King's resistance to orders and refusal to help.

The minister he was close to was also a fool, and he didn't shy away from it at all, so he immediately excused him.

A good discussion turned into a quarrel, and no one looked good when it ended.

As you know, the border has been short of food and people for the past few months. It's just that we haven't come up with any countermeasures. There's still chaos inside.

For this reason, Hua Fu has also lost weight these days, worried about his father, mother and younger brother who are far away at the border.

When Murong Yun saw that Hua Fu didn't say anything, he didn't ask any further questions. Li Jiang observed the words and said a few interesting things about Dumpling, which made Hua Fu relax his brows a little.

After that, he called the maid to serve the dinner, and the three of them had the dinner.

It was also at this time that Murong Yun noticed that Hua Zhu didn't come over to eat.

This person loves Dumpling even more than she does, and wants to watch his little niece all the time.

Li Jiang saw Murong Yun's eyes moving, as if she was looking for something, and she knew who it was.

"Are you looking for your fourth brother? He went to sort out the grain stored in the village. He said he wanted to personally transport some grain to his father."

The properties of the General's Mansion were not concentrated in Liujing, but in the area near Liao Province, and most of them were from Village fields.

Two days ago, the two brothers Hua Fu, Hua and Zhu discussed it and asked Hua Zhu to arrange it. They found a large number of people and transported it directly from the Village to Liao Provincial City in batches.

"Personally?"

There was a bit of surprise on Murong Yun's face. The original book only said that Hua Zhu was a rare business talent. Even so far, although he is still young, he has taken over most of the properties of the General's Mansion and even turned it over. 

I just didn't expect that he would be able to transfer food like this.

"Don't look at the fourth brother like that. He is extremely talented in calculations and has also learned about loading and transportation. The food under his hands may be a little faster than the transport envoys in the court."

This was said by Hua Fu. For many years of peace between South Chu, the grain transport officials and transport envoys in the court had long been reduced to nothing, and all of them had become mere wallflowers.
