Seeing this, Fang Yunping hurriedly said: "Look at me, I actually started chatting with the young master on the road. I really shouldn't have done it. Please follow me into the village quickly. It's been a hard journey along the way. I'll have someone prepare some tea and rice for you."

While beckoning everyone to go inside, he said: "After Youwei came back, I said that the young master might come to see us, but I didn't know when I would have free time, so I prepared the yard at that time, and it was always being taken care of and could be moved in at any time.

"

Shao Yang said with some embarrassment: "I should have come earlier, but the news that my brother told me before was of great importance. I went directly to my grandfather's house and encountered some things there, so I was delayed until now.

.”

Hearing this, Fang Yunping was shocked. It seemed that the news that Youwei had received before was actually true! It was probably more serious than they imagined. Otherwise, how could a dignified young master of the county go all the way?

You must know that Jiayun City is not only a thousand miles away from here, but nearly three thousand miles away!

Fang Yunping led everyone into the village and said to a few women chatting in the open space: "You take the meat and vegetables to Xu Hong's house and prepare some dishes to entertain the guests. You guys, please work harder and don't let her use her hands.

"

When the women saw the carriage coming in, they knew there were guests, especially when they saw Shao Yang and Butler Shao. They hurriedly agreed, stood up, patted the dust behind them, estimated the number of people eating, and prepared to go to the warehouse.

Shao Yang smiled at them and said, "Thank you, my sisters-in-law."

Several people waved their hands quickly, "No trouble, no trouble, it's not too late for us to welcome Mr. Shao over."

After saying that, he quickly bowed and left.

Butler Shao had people move down the gifts from the carriage, which included some porcelain ornaments, cloth pastries, and a box of silver.

Shaoyang said to Fang Yunping: "This is a little personal thought of mine. Chief Fang must accept it. Brother Youwei has been of great help this time. My father has already reported it to the court, and there will be an official reward later."

Fang Yunping looked at the many thank-you gifts in the open space and was a little at a loss. When he heard that there were still rewards from the court, he didn't know how to react.

"This...how can this happen? This is what we, as citizens of the Great Yan Dynasty, should do, yet it actually alarmed your father and the imperial court..."

Shao Yang smiled and reassured: "If you have meritorious service, take it as a reward. Chief Fang doesn't need to worry too much. Let's get it done."

Fang Yunping couldn't refuse, so he asked the people behind him who came out after hearing the noise to carry the gifts into the warehouse first. They couldn't just put them on the open space.

He took everyone in Shaoyang to settle in the yard prepared for them. Fortunately, two of them were prepared at the time, otherwise the arrangements would not have been possible.

Shaoyang brought eight guards and four servants, plus himself and Butler Shao, a total of fourteen people, who would live in two courtyards.

Fang Youwei took people into the mountains to hunt today, so he was not here. He could only let Yunping entertain them.

It was almost noon now, and several people who had been arranged to go to Xu Hong's house came over with some dishes.

They all made it by themselves, mainly letting Xu Hong help direct it, and the result was an excellent table.

Jiayin did not go out to play today. She was playing with bamboo weaving at home. She was making a small bamboo cart. She came up with this idea after seeing several women who came to the temple with their children to pray to the gods.

The women all carried their children in bamboo baskets. One of the bamboo baskets was made like an armchair, with room for feet underneath.

So she suddenly thought, if there were a few more wheels underneath, wouldn't it be possible to push it around?

In the past few days, she had been squatting at home and studying. Except when Xiao Ling and Ying Laoer were transmitting messages, she felt out her consciousness, and the rest of the time was spent dismantling, installing and disassembling.

She also knew about the arrival of Shao Yang and others. She only used her spiritual sense to explore their presence, but she didn't pay attention to them after knowing their purpose.

Coincidentally, just as the dishes were served, Fang Youwei came back with someone.

They went into the mountains early in the morning before the sun rose, hoping to catch some wild animals and give the craftsmen a meal at noon. During this time, the craftsmen had to work overtime and it was hard work.

Especially the masters who sculpted the dragon statues. Now they don't even want to be paid, and they work for free to help shape the faucet of the holy water well behind.

This is because when they knew that a holy water well was to be built in the backyard of the Dragon Temple, if they prayed sincerely, water would come out of the well, and the water could also cure illnesses. (Of course, these are what Xiaoling said.)

Originally, everyone was planning to put a bamboo pipe there, but they thought it was too ungraceful, so they suggested that the well mouth should be shaped into the shape of a faucet. Wouldn't it be more magical if the water flows from the dragon's mouth?

Their original intention was to work for a few more days. The food in Fangjia Village was good, the wages were high, and the statues had been finished, but they didn't want to leave yet.

I didn't expect this idea, and it tickled Jiayin, the little dragon cub, and made her happy.

Dragon sprays water, yes, this look fits her aesthetic perfectly.

So when he was happy, he gave each of them an ingot of gold and a bamboo tube to dilute the spiritual water.

Then this thing that appeared in their arms out of thin air shocked them!

Later, I heard from the villagers that the water in the bamboo tube was holy water, so I took it home to drink for my family members who were in poor health.

Unexpectedly, the next day, my family members who were still weak and sick would be full of energy!

This time they were conquered. They had made many statues of gods before, and there was a sense of awe, but not belief.

After all, it was a clay statue in their own hands, so how could they believe that it had magical powers?

Until this time, they really believed it. It turned out that there really is a god who looks up three feet high!

After he came back, he started to shape the faucet of the holy water well with a pious heart. He refused to pay any wages and even spent his own money to buy the best gold paint.

The ingot of gold given by Jiayin has also been enshrined at home...

Speaking of which, Fang Youwei and others came back and happened to find Shaoyang just having lunch, so he cooked the pheasant and added another dish, and was called over by Fang Yunping to entertain them together.

When Shaoyang saw Fang Youwei, he first thanked him for what happened last time, and then talked about the reason why he came here after so long.

"Speaking of which, I haven't been idle these past few months. Brother Youwei and I brought such big news, so I should have come over early to express my gratitude.

At that time, we sent someone 800 miles away to hurry up and notify the place where I was renting out the matter. Within a few days, my grandfather wrote me back, saying that he sent someone to investigate the same night after receiving the letter. Unexpectedly, it turned out that it was indeed the case.

Brother Wei said that the Hu people and the Yue people have united and are brazenly training troops outside Qiyang County.
