Chapter 964: The Blessings of the Entire Broken Gold Beach

efuge with relatives. After settling down, if there's nothing to do at home, I might really go find the headhunter for some food."Liu Biatou didn't force it either, and called someone to roast rabbits...The Marquis and several important officials were present, accompanying the Emperor as he reviewed them.

The Emperor frowned slightly and asked, "My esteemed ministers, what do you think Does this foreign nation pose a threat to our Heavenly Martial Empire"

A high official curled his lip dismissively and replied, "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, these barbarian people are nothing more than savage beasts who live off raw meat and blood. They are hardly worth worrying about."

Another high official, more reasonable, pondered for a moment before agreeing, "Indeed, Your Majesty, I believe the barbarian people have not yet been fully civilized. Though some of their small objects are well-made, they are merely clever tricks."

"Besides, most commoners are illiterate and unaware of the teachings of sages. They blindly believe in all sorts of superstitious deities, pales compared to my Heavenly Martial power. In the future, station more personnel in Quanzhou to oversee various barbarian nations; that will suffice."

The Emperor nodded, but still asked the Marquis, "What do you think, Marquis"

The marquis's expression was calm, he pointed at a half-person-high bell in the corner of the room.

This clock was a gift from an envoy. Because it was accurate and easy to read, it was brought into the palace, where the emperor and his attendants all loved it.

The Lord said, "Your Majesty, I believe we should still be wary of the barbarian nation. Firstly, the Peach Blossom Ointment that almost plunged our Tianwu into chaos originated from the barbarian nation. Secondly, judging from this bell, the barbarian nation's iron smelting and craftsmanship far surpass ours in Tianwu. It is possible they will use these skills to forge weapons!"

Even though the Fan Kingdom is not yet a major threat to Tianwu, if we allow this situation to continue unchecked, it will eventually become a serious problem.

"I propose that we increase support for the Hai Lan army and strengthen maritime defense. We should also establish a branch of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Quanzhou City to closely monitor the developments of all foreign countries. This way, we can respond promptly if any suspicious activity arises."

Everyone followed his gaze to the clock. Its pendulum swung ceaselessly, a faint *tick-tock* echoing in their ears, like the sound of horses' hooves urging them on.

The two powerful ministers who had been secretly opposing the plan listened intently for a while, and suddenly their hearts pounded with unease.

Perhaps the Fan Guo are more formidable than they imagined and predicted...

Busy spring days always pass quickly, just like the fields are freshly planted and after a few days of spring breeze, tender green crops sprout.

Up close, it doesn't look so impressive, but from afar, it's already a sea of green.

The vegetation covering the hills and valleys has grown lush and dense. Little creatures run happily through it from time to time, rejoicing for having survived the winter and brimming with excitement for the new year.

Early that morning, just as the city gates of Xindu opened, a convoy of carriages set off for Suijin Beach.

In the carriage sat Jia Yin and Wan'er, accompanied by Aibi and her child, as well as several maidservants.

The carriage was escorted by veteran soldiers at the front and back, accompanied by luggage and other belongings. It was a grand sight, making quite an impression with its presence.

Nearly as soon as they turned onto the path, before even reaching the mouth of the second village, everyone knew that the master had returned.

Then, everyone dropped what they were doing and ran out to greet him.

Of course, most people came to see what the young mistress of the house looked like.

You see, the village head and his men spent two whole days talking about their visit to the city to meet with the envoys.

Everyone was curious about the long-nosed elephant and the giraffe with its long neck, but they were even more curious about the queen consort whom the Fourth Young Master had brought home.

This is a woman claiming the throne, ruling the nation!

Everyone had been stretching their necks in anticipation, waiting for this moment.

Ai Bei had been warned by his sister-in-law and younger sister, but he was still taken aback by the sight of villagers crowding the road, welcoming him with such enthusiasm.

Thankfully, everyone's face was lit with genuine smiles.

She calmed herself down and got off the car with her family.

As expected, all eyes were on me, burning with intensity.

Even as Queen, this was a rather unique experience for Aibei, and she couldn't help but feel a bit reserved.

Not for any other reason, just because Jia Xi said that the villagers are like relatives who have shared hardship with the Li family.

Today, this ugly daughter-in-law of hers practically met hundreds of "in-laws" in one breath.

Gia Yin stood beside Abbey, laughing and chatting with the crowd. She inquired about the bakery's business and how their farming was going.

Finally, she smiled and said to everyone, “Alright, uncles, aunts, ladies, don’t stare at my fourth sister-in-law! We are all family. My fourth sister-in-law isn’t returning to Jinfu Country tomorrow. There will be plenty of free time in the future for us to chat!”

"You guys scared everyone away! Just wait until my fourth older brother gets back, he'll make you pay!"

Everyone burst into laughter and responded in agreement.

"Rest assured, my lady. We're just happy that our family has gained another good daughter-in-law!"

"That's right, County Princess. This is the Queen! Who in this world could marry the Queen as their daughter-in-law We should be proud of our family for having her here. Let's take a good look at her. In the future, when we tell others, our faces will be filled with glory."

"Will the Fourth Young Master stay in Jinfo Kingdom forever, or will there be a chance to come back"

Jia Yin waved her hand and replied, "I know you all are thinking of my older brother and sister-in-law, that's why you asked."

They will live on both sides of Jinfu and Quanzhou, and the distance between them won't be too far.

As for the rest, my grandmother, mother, and uncle are all in Quanzhou. They will make their own decisions. I don't know about them, so I wouldn't dare to speak out of turn.

"If I get anything wrong, I'll come back to you. Don't go around hitting me with a broom handle all over town!"

Everyone was disbelieving and clamoring.

"The county princess just loves to joke around. Grandmother wouldn't bear to spank you."

"That's right, the fourth and fifth young masters were frequently beaten with a broom stick when they were little! They were often chased all over by Old Madam!"

At this point, the village head finally arrived. Hearing these words, he burst into laughter and scolded them.

"This is such old news, you're still bringing it up. The Fourth and Fifth Masters are now officials, and the Fourth Master's wife is right here. Show some respect to the Masters, will you"

Having said that, he beckoned Jia Yin and the others, "Come on, let's walk home slowly. We can take a look at the melon seedlings our village planted this year."

I just guessed these days, you would be back. The hot spring valley over there has already been tidied up and kept empty, ready to go play anytime.

"Our lives are good these days at Suijintan, we don't need this little bit of income. Our own happiness is more important than anything else."

As they spoke, the group walked towards the village.

The villagers bowed respectfully and, with smiles, returned to their various tasks.

Ai Bei couldn't hear what everyone was saying, but seeing how quickly they arrived and departed with such order, obeying commands without a sound, he couldn't help but nod in approval.

Look again at the roadside fields, where the vines have climbed all over the ground, and their leaves are bigger than your palms.

There were a few places where the melon seedlings had not yet been planted, but even those areas were meticulously kept tidy. Not a single weed could be seen, and the furrows were perfectly straight, showing how much care had been taken.

Jia Yin walked beside the village head, praising him with every step. The old man's face lit up with a smile and he didn't say a word. They also made plans to have dinner together at his ancestral home in the evening.

In the evening, all the young masters in the family would also come back, certainly making things even more lively.

The village chief happily carried his things up the mountain. The orchard was at its busiest time, and he kept a watchful eye on it almost constantly.

Compared to when he first moved here, the village elder's hair had turned completely white, and his hands and feet weren't as nimble. But he was still full of energy and spirit.

This is the blessing of Suijin Beach!

Jiāyīn kept the herb field and pharmacy workshop in mind. After bidding farewell to her sisters-in-law at her doorstep, she left.

She first went to deliver a box of snacks and a roast chicken to Zhang Shenyi, making sure the old man hadn't worn himself down like a beggar while concocting new medicines. Only then did she feel at ease and go about her busy work.

By the time the sun began to set.

In the apothecary, the orange glow of the setting sun streamed in from outside, blocked by a figure halfway.

Jia Yin couldn't help but raise her head to look, and smiled with joy.
