Chapter 192: Five Gemstones of Earth-Walking Dragon Eggs: Finally, This Time
Chapter 192 Five Earthly Dragon Eggs, Baoyu: I finally have my share this time! (Change first and later)
When Wang Xifeng came back from Rongqing Hall, she learned from Zhiyu and others the heart-wrenching words Jia Lian said to Qin Keqing after she went to the old lady's house today.
Although she had long accepted her status as a common wife, Wang Xifeng still couldn't help but feel jealous at the bottom of her heart. Looking at Zhiyu and Ping'er's faces, which were also full of envy and longing, she felt complicated in her heart.
However, compared to Qin Keqing, the Princess of Yongji, Wang Xifeng did not have enough confidence, so she could only forgive herself and force the sourness in her heart to gradually dissipate.
In fact, Wang Xifeng is not dissatisfied with her current life. Jia Lian always has a gentle attitude towards the people around him.
And even if she, Wang Xifeng, really marries someone else and becomes a wife, she may not be able to take charge of the small butler of the Nuo Darong Mansion like she does now.
Qin Keqing is a person of great character. She is not only the official wife, but also the princess of the dynasty, so her status is naturally as stable as a rock.
After deciding to be sisters with Wang Xifeng, and with the support of the princess Qin Keqing, Feng Lazi's power has not lost at all in the original timeline, or even exceeded it.
After all, in the original timeline, she was just the eldest daughter-in-law helping to manage the second family's home...
At this time, Jia Lian happened to come out of Qin Keqing's room and saw Wang Xifeng standing alone in the hall. He thought about it and probably knew what was going on.
The handsome young man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes and a face as white as jade walked into the Rongxi Hall with a faint smile, and immediately caught Wang Xifeng's attention.
"Why are you standing here alone in a daze? Where are Ping'er and Zhiyu?"
"Oh, they went off to play by themselves. Nothing happened to the old lady. Xiao Linyong is back, and she invited you and your sister to have dinner in the evening."
"You and I will go over there later, but forget it, Qing. She just made a small breakthrough in her spiritual practice, and she still needs time to sort it out."
"It's true. Didn't my sister say that it was too difficult to cultivate gods before? Now she does?"
"Well... But now you are just one step away from overflowing. Feng'er, don't worry. I will think of a solution for you in a few days."
The main reason is that Wang Xifeng's menstruation has not passed yet, so it doesn't matter if it's a few days late or a few days early. In this case, why not stay a few days late so that Jia Lian can make some demands.
…
In Rongqing Hall, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng heard bursts of laughter and laughter coming from far away.
The old lady has basically handed over all the housekeeping rights to her two granddaughter-in-laws, and enjoys herself in Rongqing Hall every day.
Occasionally, some thoughts were spent on the grandchildren around her knees. Wang Xifeng naturally understood that Jia Lian valued these sisters in the house and had no intention of treating them harshly.
And the big-faced boy was the old lady's favorite, with top-notch food and clothing, so only Lin Daiyu, who was valued by both the old lady and Jia Lian, could step over him.
As for Xiao Linyong, after being taken back to the Lin Mansion by Lin Ruhai for two nights, he was sent here again today, saying that he missed his sister and his second brother Lian.
At this moment, he was holding a two-handed wooden sword with just the right proportions for him and a very cool shape, showing off in the hall.
The grid position of this long sword is the image of a cartoon sheep-headed skull. Xiao Linyong couldn't put it down and hugged it in his arms, causing the big-faced girl sitting next to the old lady to cast envious glances from time to time.
That's right, this is the "Frostmourne" that Jia Lian personally carved before!
It was also the first gift Jia Lian gave to the little guy. Unlike Daiyu's "staff" which she almost never left her body, this sword was just a toy wooden sword for children to play with.
Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng stepped into the hall, which immediately attracted the attention of the little ones. Xiao Linyong even jumped down from his seat and ran towards Jia Lian cheering.
Jia Lian reached out to pick him up, smiled and nodded with his sisters, then walked to the old lady, put Lin Yong down and said hello to the old lady.
"Okay, okay, Lian'er went to see off your senior sister and brother in Zaoge Mountain today? Did it go well?"
"Returning to our ancestors is of course going smoothly. The senior brothers and sisters from Zaoge Mountain have a very important relationship with this trip. My grandson has been focusing on this matter recently, and he has indeed neglected his uncle."
Jia Lian first answered the old lady, then turned his head and said to Lin Ruhai who was sitting next to him with a gentle smile.
"How could it be? We are a family. Business matters are important. Lian'er doesn't need to take it to heart."
"Well, thank you uncle for your understanding."
Jia Lian exchanged a few words with Lin Ruhai with a calm expression, then chose a seat opposite him and sat down peacefully without saying anything more.
When the old lady Shi saw this scene, she felt helpless in her heart. Even she couldn't say much about this matter.
Lin Ruhai obviously understood the situation, and he could only choose to accept it calmly. Fortunately, he could see that Jia Lian really loved Lin Daiyu and Xiao Linyong, even more than the other children in the Jia family.
This was enough. After Lin Ruhai experienced this great change and sent his two children to the sacred city, he could hardly sleep at night when he was alone, and it was heartbreaking.
For more than half a year, Lin Ruhai's life has been like a year. Yangzhou Lin Mansion, which was originally full of laughter and laughter, has become extremely silent. The beautiful figure who appears next to him at least in the morning and evening every day, and who dines with him, is nowhere to be seen.
Lin Ruhai once believed that it was natural and right to eat the emperor's salary, to be loyal to the emperor, and to fulfill his duties faithfully. He always wanted to be a virtuous minister who "settled the emperor's affairs in the world and won his reputation before and after his death."
But who could have imagined that a single act of negligence could lead to the death of the love of his life.
When Jia Min was gone, Lin Ruhai could still numb himself by dealing with his aftermath, taking care of his two children, and various political affairs.
After Lin Daiyu and Xiao Linyong followed Jia Lian to Shenjing City, whenever they were alone in the dead of night, there would always be a voice in the dark, asking Lin Ruhai over and over again.
"Is it worth it?"
"Min'er is dead, and the imperial court is so stingy with even a title. Is it worth it for you to sacrifice your family and career for that ruthless emperor?"
"If you were given another chance, would you still fight against those salt merchants because of your so-called loyalty to the king and your ridiculous integrity?"
"..."
Lin Ruhai could not answer these questions and did not know how to answer them. He began to become extremely thin and weak.
It makes people feel haggard because of Yixiao...
If it weren't for Lin Daiyu and Xiao Linyong's concerns, Lin Ruhai wouldn't be sure whether she would choose to continue living.
Therefore, Jia Lian's attitude towards him was completely unimportant to him, but Jia Lian's love for his children made Lin Ruhai secretly grateful.
As for Emperor Baode, who had been loyal to him for many years, after Lin Ruhai came to Beijing some time ago, Emperor Baode would summon Lin Ruhai almost every other day these days.
He looked like he was about to be reused, but when Emperor Baode saw him, he always brought the topic to Rongguo Mansion and Jia Lian, and tried various methods to test him.
If Lin Ruhai had just won the top prize many years ago and was full of ambitions, maybe Lin Ruhai would not think much about it, but would only be loyal and reverent, and would never dare to speculate on the holy will, but now...
His sensitivity had already died once for him, because of his diligence and conscientiousness in serving the king.
Now, he wants to live for himself and his children!
…
Jia Lian did not care about Lin Ruhai's uncle's mental journey. He had a meal with the old lady, drank two cups of hot tea, and talked with the old lady for a long time.
Xiao Linyong, who was eating slowly, and Jia Cong, who was specially invited here today, had just finished their meal. Seeing this, Jia Lian waved to the two little guys.
The eyes of the two little guys lit up, and they quickly jumped up to Jia Lian holding hands, tilting their heads cutely and asking questions.
"Brother Lian, you called us?"
"Well, there are Daiyu, Xiangyun and... Baoyu."
Shi Xiangyun, Lin Daiyu and the sisters from the Jia family had already been attracted by the two little guys Lin Yong and Jia Cong. Now they heard Jia Lian calling them and responded quickly. Baoyu beside the old lady also responded weakly.
"Second brother, I'm here."
When Jia Lian saw that everyone in Rongqing Hall was looking at him, he lightly clapped his hands.
As Jia Lian's applause fell, Jia Sidao walked in with a large plate covered with black cloth and walked straight to Jia Lian's side.
Jia Lian reached out and gently pulled the black cloth covering the plate, and the black cloth fell to the ground, revealing five eggs that were almost the size of a human head on Jia Sidao's plate.
Sisters Tanchun and Xichun, who had followed them out of curiosity, couldn't help but exclaimed in unison, "It's the egg of a little earth dragon!"
"That's right, people over there in Nanyang just got a few new [Earth Dragon Eggs] this time, so I brought five of them over. Those of you who don't have any small Earth Dragons can get one for each of you."
"That's great! That's great! Yong'er has wanted to raise a little earth dragon for a long time. Thank you, Brother Lian~"
"Thank you, Brother Lian~"
Xiao Linyong and Jia Cong cheered in unison, then started to put their feet up and stretch their necks to look at the [Earthly Dragon's Egg] in the big plate in Jia Sidao's hand.
When Jia Sidao saw this, he also bent down and lowered the plate in his hand for them to watch.
Sisters Baoyu, Xiangyun, Daiyu and Sichun also gathered around and began to discuss excitedly the precautions before and after the hatching of [Eggs of Earthly Dragons] and how cute and fun the newly born little Earthly Dragons can be.
After a while, the old lady made the decision and asked Baoyu to pick first, followed by Daiyu, Lin Yong, Xiangyun and Jia Cong. The five of them divided the five [Eggs of the Earthly Dragon] in order.
Jia Lian didn't say much about this. The old lady still had some face, anyway, from Jia Lian's current perspective.
As an adult, the Earthly Dragon, which is equivalent to the second-level acquired peak strength, can only be used as an ordinary mount. It is truly useless to both Jia Lian himself and the [Jia Lian Army].
In this case, it is better to give them to younger brothers and sisters as high-end pets. Moreover, based on the dangers that younger brothers and sisters may encounter at their level, the strength of the Earth Dragon should be just enough to deal with them!
If they can really develop better in the future, Jia Lian will naturally be able to match them with corresponding equipment and mounts!
