"Daughter, why is your face so pale? Did you not sleep well?" Old Man Yun asked.
Although people tended to feel sleepy in the spring evenings, his daughter had been listless lately, and her complexion had worsened...
Upon hearing this, the family members all looked at Little Xi Tian, fearing that their precious treasure might suddenly fall ill.
Yun Er Man said, "Sister might be too tired. Mother, don't let Sister go to school these few days. Let her rest at home for a bit..."
Du Tie Shan said, "Yes, ever since Xi Tian returned from the capital, she's been busy making windmills, managing the dairy cows, and worrying about the shops. She's only six years old, how can she carry such a heavy burden?"
Old Man Sun said, "Xi Tian is just a child who can't sit still. Now that the family has enough to eat and drink, and our living conditions are getting better and better, Xi Tian should have a good rest..."
Xiao Xin Ling said, "Sweetie, if you feel bored in the village, I'll take you back to the palace tomorrow and have the imperial chefs make roast duck for you!~"
Gu Shi heard this, immediately scooped Little Xi Tian onto her lap, and felt her little face. "She's not hot. Er Man, go to the county town later and find a doctor to come over!"
Little Xi Tian: "..."
Family, I'm really fine.
"No need, Mother. They say spring sleepiness, autumn fatigue, and summer naps. I just didn't rest well!~" Little Xi Tian said with a smile.
She wondered if it had something to do with that dream.
If her soul was truly damaged, how could it be replenished?
Old Man Yun sighed, "Daughter, if you're not feeling well, just say so. Don't try to tough it out..."
If something happened to their youngest daughter, how could they, the elderly couple, continue to live?
Little Xi Tian couldn't hold back her laughter and wiggled in Gu Shi's embrace. "Father, I'm really fine. If you don't believe me, let's go to Tuo Feng Mountain tomorrow to dig for wild vegetables and see who runs faster..."
"Right, right, right!" Yun Er Man saw that his sister had regained her spirits and nodded repeatedly. "I heard from Du Lao San that there are many Artemisia capillaries growing in Tuo Feng Mountain. We can blanch them and dip them in sauce, or use them to make dumplings!~"
Gu Shi 'hmm'ed, "Artemisia capillaries stir-fried with potato slices are also delicious. Daughter, shall we go up the mountain tomorrow?"
There had been many things going on at home recently, and she hadn't taken her daughter out for a walk. It would be good to get some fresh air on the mountain at this opportunity...
"Okay, Mother!~" Little Xi Tian's eyes curved, and she nodded in agreement.
Early the next morning, after Old Man Yun and Yun Er Man finished their work in the fields, they took the family and set off.
When Xiao Jin Heng heard about this, he also hurried to follow, and asked Kong Xing Zhuo to buy two roasted chickens and a lot of pastries, for fear that the little village girl would go hungry...
Old Man Sun and Zhao Xiao Jie stayed behind to look after the house, clean the cowshed, and tidy up the杂物.
Scholar Jiang, seeing that his students had all run off, threw down his ruler and went next door to chat with Xiao Jin Feng.
"Little village girl, do you remember when we were washed away by the mountain flood last year?" Xiao Jin Heng suddenly asked.
Little Xi Tian glanced at him and pouted, "How could I not remember? You were almost scared to tears then!~"
Xiao Jin Heng: "..."
Don't talk nonsense, who was scared to tears?
"Little village girl, everyone calls you a blessed child. Why didn't you show your divine power when the mountain flood came?" Xiao Jin Heng continued to press.
Little Xi Tian: "..."
You brat, are you looking for trouble? The title 'blessed child' was given by the villagers and family, not self-proclaimed, how could she show divine power?
"I'm not a blessed child!~" Little Xi Tian rolled her eyes.
Xiao Jin Heng was amused by her clever and mischievous look. He reached out and plucked a leaf from her hair, smiling, "Little village girl, is the wine you brewed really that good?"
"You'll know if you taste it yourself..." Little Xi Tian said.
Why did she feel like the brat was talking a lot today?
"Since you're so confident about your wine, I want to give you a surprise!~" Xiao Jin Heng smiled slightly.
Yesterday, Kong Xing Zhuo told him that a wine shop in the capital had been found, and Little Xi Tian could do whatever she wanted with it...
Little Xi Tian 'hmm'ed, curious, "What surprise?"
Xiao Jin Heng leaned in and whispered a few words in her ear.
After hearing this, Little Xi Tian's eyes widened. She pushed Xiao Jin Heng away and kicked him, "You brat, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing beforehand?"
If it was a rented shop, it would be fine, but this brat actually bought her a two-story building with a yard...
According to the prices in the capital, this two-story building with a yard would cost tens of thousands of taels of silver. She wouldn't dare to accept such a valuable gift.
Xiao Jin Heng rubbed his backside and said faintly, "As long as you like it!~"
Little Xi Tian: "..."
Like it, my foot! Such a big favor, how could she repay it in the future?
Would she have to offer herself in return?
Gu Shi heard the two little ones bickering and turned back to remind them, "Don't argue. If you walk a little further, you'll see the Artemisia capillaries..."
Little Xi Tian was almost suffocated with frustration. She glared at Xiao Jin Heng, "Return that shop. I don't want it!~"
"Whether you want it or not, you have to take it!" Xiao Jin Heng's attitude was very firm. "The deed and land title are already done, and they are in your name. If you don't want it, you can burn it with a fire. I'll help you hold the tinder!~"
Little Xi Tian: "..."
Ahhh!
A scene of field mice howling appeared in her mind.
That brat was simply unreasonable.
"Little County Princess, since the shop has been bought, please accept it!~" Kong Xing Zhuo came over with a smile. "In the future, when Little County Princess goes to the capital, she'll need her own house and property..."
In fact, the Crown Prince thought quite clearly. If he wanted to marry Sweetie into the palace, he had to let her accumulate some connections and financial resources now. When she arrived in the capital, she would meet more officials and wealthy young ladies. She couldn't be alone...
Little Xi Tian sighed and followed her parents with her short legs, ignoring the brat...
Xiao Jin Heng raised an eyebrow, "Did I do something wrong?"
"Your Highness, you did nothing wrong. Don't look at Little County Princess being angry with you on the surface; she's actually happy in her heart, hehe!~" Kong Xing Zhuo said with a naive smile.
Xiao Jin Heng: "..."
I don't believe you.
"Wow, Grandpa, Grandma, Little Aunt, there are so many Artemisia capillaries here. Come quickly!~" Gao Jing De shouted from ahead.
Artemisia capillaries are herbaceous plants of the Asteraceae family. After picking, they must be blanched to remove bitterness. Then they can be dipped in sauce, used as filling, added to soup, or stir-fried with other foods. They have a refreshing taste and can also lower blood pressure, lower blood lipids, and promote appetite...
Little Xi Tian ran over and was surprised, "There really are quite a lot!~"
There were no such wild vegetables in her space, so Little Xi Tian planned to pick more.
Just as she bent down and picked a sprig of Artemisia capillaries, her head suddenly spun, her vision went black, and she fainted...
