that feeling of seasickness sets in.From Li Laotai to Xingxing and Yueyaer, everyone, young and old, was so disgusted they turned white in the face.Fortunately, they arrived at the pier at this time....Previously, the Marquis knew of her fondness for collecting pearls and gemstones, so he had a master craftsman from the Imperial Palace workshop assigned to her.

This master craftsman has been making jewelry his whole life. He's getting older now, his hands aren't as steady, and his eyes aren't what they used to be.

Ideally, one should return home to enjoy a peaceful retirement. However, my grandchildren are not ambitious and even surviving is difficult.

So, it's said that the Hou Residence invited him to be a retainer, with one hundred taels of silver per year. He only needs to teach the 郡主 (county princess) some small things and jewelry on weekdays.

He readily agreed at the time, so his descendants went to work on the estate of the Marquis's mansion, waiting for the young lady to assign them tasks.

Before, he had just received a hand of transparent gems and was racking his brains to figure out the demeanor of the county magistrate.

This sudden burst of work is a good way to show off my skills and shake things up.

Thus, the next afternoon, the head steward of the Hou Mansion personally brought gifts and a box to pay a visit.

Of course, the gift was prepared for Mr. Wen and Mrs. Cui, and the box was directly given to Jia Yin.

The steward bent over, explaining to the young master, "Master Shi said that those transparent gemstones are very hard. He needs some more time to polish them. Please give him a little more time, my lady!"

Jia Yin waved her hand nonchalantly and said to the housekeeper, “Uncle Butler, please tell Master Shi that I'm not in a hurry. Just have him ponder it carefully.”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your understanding." The steward smiled and turned to praise Old Mrs. Li, "Your Highness is truly kind and generous, always so considerate."

Mrs. Li was beaming, "This child is naturally kind and compassionate, never making things difficult for others. He's also very generous!"

"Let's just have some snacks. Every time she gets a box of snacks, everyone big and small at home gets a share, only then will she put it in her mouth, not even guarding it."

Having said that, she remembered the wedding banquet the next day and asked, "The Liu family set their wedding for tomorrow. The entire village and the Cui family will have banquets. Which side will the head steward go to drink with"

"Of course, I'm coming to our place!" the housekeeper immediately replied, "Our family is so lively, and the Fourth Mistress's cooking is first-rate! Nowadays, so many people in Xindu are clamoring for her private dishes, but they can't even get a reservation. Of course, I have to come and satisfy my cravings."

Hearing this, Old Lady Li was even more delighted.

After some idle chatter, the steward was about to return to the city.

Jia Yin had Shui Ling bring him a basket of fruit, then he hugged the box and skipped to Mr. Wen's courtyard at Cui's house.

Mr. Wen had waited for over ten years, and his dream was finally coming true these days. He was so excited that he couldn't contain himself.

In front of others, he still has to put on a calm facade. Behind closed doors, however, he is so excited that he can't eat or sleep. Right now, he is practicing calligraphy, trying his best to calm himself down.

Upon seeing Jia Yin suddenly run in, Mr. Wen put down his pen and asked, “Where are Shui Ling and Shui Yun Why isn’t one of them here to serve”

Jia Yin giggled and patted the box in her hands, "Because I have a secret to tell my master, so I didn't let them come over."

"Oh, what secret Did you get into trouble and need your master to plead for you"

Mr. Wen didn't take it to heart. Though the little girl was smart, she was still just a child, after all.

As a result, Jia Yin quickly opened the box in her hand. Inside was a crown the size of her palm.

A string of pearls, glistening with a pearly luster, though each one isn't very large, is perfectly round.

A skilled craftsman wove silver threads into a crown.

The sunlight outside streamed through the windowpane, casting rays upon the jeweled crown, making it glow softly and beautifully!

Not to mention Mr. Wen, even Jia Yin was stunned.

Master Shi is really amazing, he managed to make the pearls look like gemstones.

"Funiu'er, what is this…" Mr. Wen guessed a few points and asked tentatively.

Of course, Jia Yin resolutely pushed the jeweled crown to his face. "Master Uncle, this is for you. Keep it and give it to your aunt. I wish you both a lifelong love, perfect and happy together!"

Mr. Wen, though penniless now, still accepted the gifts from the Li family with serenity. These included new clothes, shoes, socks, bedding, and ornaments.

Because he knew that his ties with the Li family were for life, and there would always be a time in the future when he could repay them!

But to receive a gift from this little girl, or jewelry specially prepared for him to give to his wife, truly touched and shamed him.

He's such a grown man, and he still has to have a child take care of him…

"Little Blessing, your master can't have it, you keep it for yourself…"

Jia Yin picked up the jeweled crown and placed it directly into Mr. Wen's hand, almost gritting her teeth as she said, "Master, please don't be so polite anymore. The more polite you are, the more I'm afraid I'll regret it!"

Mr. Wen was taken aback. Seeing the little girl's eyes fixed on the jeweled crown, her expression pained as if she were watching a piece of flesh being cut away, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Alright, alright, I'll take it for your aunt. I'll have her get you a better one later!" Mr. Wen hurriedly took the crown and put it in the drawer, completely blocking Jia Yin's reluctant gaze.

Jia Yin looked inside the box and saw a few more hairpin sticks, some earrings, rings and other small things. She knew these were made by Shi Fu using leftover beads.

Then she gave a wave, jumped down, hugged the box and ran away.

This caused Mr. Wen to call out after her, telling her not to fall.

Tao Hongying was in the kitchen, busy with several village women, when she was suddenly tugged on her sleeve by her daughter. She jumped, "What is it, Funiu'er Are you hungry"

“No, Mother, come here!” Jiayin pulled her mother from the doorway and then took out the most beautiful hairpin from a box and pinned it into her mother’s hair.

Tao Hongying still dodged, "Oh my, I'm cooking, it's all smoke and oil. It would be a waste to wear such good things."

"No, Mother looks good with it!" Jia Yin insisted, and took off the silver clove ornament from her mother's ear, replacing it with a pearl pendant. Finally satisfied, she kissed her mother on the cheek and went happily back into the house.

"This child gets wilder by the day!" Tao Yongying said feigning annoyance, but a smile bloomed on her face. She carefully adjusted her hairpin and then continued with her work.

Soon, Li Laotai, Hui Niang, Liu Saozi, Dong Mei, and He Mama who were busy sewing in the room, all received jewelry from Panya. They were all astonished.

"This is the second time, isn't it" Huiniang said with a smile, holding the pearl pendant in her hand. "Last time when we went to a banquet, Fu Nier insisted on dressing me up for my sister-in-law, so I got to bask in the glory once."

Liu Sao smiled and said, "This is my first time. I guess I'll have to come help my sister-in-law often from now on. Who knows, maybe in less than a year and a half, I'll have a whole box of them."

Everyone burst into laughter and began to think, "After these few days are over and we have some free time, let's quickly make a new dress, shoes, and socks for the little girl."

The children were open and friendly with them, and they didn't take advantage of the children.

Grandma Li was forcefully given a string of pearls and a ring by her granddaughter.

Actually, at her age, she shouldn't wear these, but she still put them away.

People continued to sew and chat while they worked.

Jiayin was lying beside her grandmother, rolling around in various ways.

Thinking about that pearl crown just now, she definitely wanted to ask Shifu to make another one for her later.

No, two!

She's wearing one, with another resting beside her. And there are still plenty of pearls left in the space around!

Thinking this way, she closed her eyes, letting her mind wander through the space, counting her little piggy bank, and before long, she fell asleep....They brought a letter with good news and rode horses they had fetched from Suijintang. The two of them planned to take turns riding back to Zhengjiazhuang...Within and outside the new capital, househ...
