The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 760

Chapter 760: Chapter 680, Grew Crooked_1

The honorific archway conferred by the Emperor exerts its influence imperceptibly and silently. In any case, from this moment on, the Yan Family had entered the view of certain officials and aristocratic families.

The two hundred thousand dan of medicinal herbs were personally collected by Wu Jingyi, and it was Yan Zhigao who handed them over to him.

"Brother Yan, your family is truly benevolent and righteous!"

After inspecting the herbs and finding all of them of excellent quality, Wu Jingyi was so pleased that he started calling Yan Zhigao his brother.

Yan Zhigao was very happy about this.

Having come up in the world late, the Yan Family was quite lacking in connections. Establishing a good relationship with a first-rank official was seen as a great thing.

Because he remembered he had to deliver medicine to the soldiers on the Northern Frontier, Wu Jingyi didn’t stay long. He stayed at the Yan Family for one night and then left.

After sending off Wu Jingyi, Yan Zhigao returned to the backyard and saw Madam Li looking at invitation cards. He asked with a smile, "With such a big celebration in our family, isn’t Taohua going to come back and have a look?"

Madam Li put down the cards. Ever since they had been granted the honorific archway, she had been receiving invitation cards every day and could not even finish reading them all. Hearing her husband mention their daughter, she said with amusement, "That girl is much calmer than us. She says she’s busy with important matters right now and doesn’t have time."

Yan Zhigao asked curiously, "What could she be busy with at this time?"

Madam Li replied, "I don’t know what got into her, but recently, she picked some clever children from various estates and took them to Taohua Village, saying she wants to cultivate some talents."

Hearing this, Yan Zhigao fell silent. His daughter had always been very foresighted. On the contrary, he, as a father, had been quite negligent.

After learning about Granny Gu’s identity and finding out that his daughter had been married to Xiao Yeyang, he hadn’t really done anything about it.

Now he thought about it, he really shouldn’t have neglected it.

When his eldest son returned from their old home, he would have to properly plan the future development of the Yan Family with him.

...

At the border ferry crossing of Ningmen Prefecture, Dongli was waiting early on a boat. Seeing the fleet transporting the medicinal herbs, he immediately pulled alongside.

The soldiers transporting the herbs spotted him and wanted to capture him right away. Dongli hurriedly showed the Imperial Guard Token, and in a short while, he was on the deck, meeting Wu Jingyi.

Wu Jingyi silently sized up Dongli for a while, "What’s the matter?"

Dongli pointed to the smaller boat below, "I would like to ask Commandant Wu to bring some items to the Northern Frontier."

As if hearing a joke, Wu Jingyi snorted with laughter, "Ask me to carry items? Do you know where the fleet is headed? Do you understand what crime it is to obstruct official duties?"

Dongli thought to himself that of course he knew, as he had helped with organizing the medicinal herbs on board. However, he didn’t show it on his face, and respectfully said, "It was ordered by the old master."

Wu Jingyi fell silent and after a long while tentatively asked, "The old master? Old Master Gu?"

Dongli nodded.

Immediately after, the guards on the boat saw Wu Jingyi’s change of expression: one moment he was stern, and the next his face brightened with a smile.

"You should’ve said so sooner. It’s just a matter of carrying some items, a minor task. I’ll help with this favor."

Watching Commandant Wu’s complete change of attitude, the corners of Dongli’s mouth twitched involuntarily, "Then I will immediately get the items on board."

Wu Jingyi offered considerately, "I’ll send someone to help you."

The fleet transporting the medicinal herbs consisted of large boats, and after Dongli’s items were moved on board, they only occupied a corner of the deck.

"Thank you for the trouble, Commandant Wu," said Dongli. He then took out a white porcelain bottle from his bosom and handed it to Commandant Wu, "This is a token of appreciation from the old master."

Wu Jingyi quickly said with a smile, "It was just a small favor, there’s no need to be so formal. It’s really unnecessary; next time you mustn’t do this." While he said this, his hands skillfully received the porcelain bottle.

He knew well that Old Master Gu’s medical skills were extraordinary, so anything he gave was bound to be valuable.

At that moment, Wu Dingbo’s gaze fell upon the fruits, and he picked up a bright red apple and bit into it. Before he could swallow, the top of his head was slapped by Governor Wu. _{freēwēbnovel.com}
