Little Lord

When Jiang Zhuozhuo arrived at Hongye Province, he was drying himself with a small blanket.

When Knight Commander Jude reminded her that they had arrived at their destination, the little round bird squatting in the carriage raised her eyes confusedly and looked at the beautiful Cynthia who was looking at her with a complicated expression.

Cynthia looked at the chubby little bird wrapped in a small blanket, and for a moment she couldn't help but doubt that Jiang Zhuozhuo had not succeeded in transforming into a human.

Jiang Zhuozhuo met Cynthia's puzzled look, crawled out from under the blanket, shook out the fur, and explained to Cynthia: "Chirp, chirp, chirp (drilled in the clouds)!"

It’s all Yun’s fault, it has nothing to do with her!
Cynthia glanced at Lao Lu and others who had complicated expressions, and smiled and called Jiang Zhuozhuo to fly to her shoulder.

Jiang Zhuozhuo looked at Cynthia's face, which was filled with a hint of sadness. She felt that her former brother-in-law was too much. He actually hurt such a gentle and beautiful sister. She jumped onto Cynthia's shoulders and praised her: "My sister is so beautiful! The most beautiful in the world!"

Cynthia felt her cheeks getting wet, and she glanced out of the corner of her eye. It was the furry little round bird that raised its head and came close to her, soft and warm. If her child successfully hatched, would it also be so close to her?

Young birds are cute creatures that love to be close to people.

Thinking of her child who was strangled by his biological father, Cynthia's nose felt a little sour again. She took Jiang Zhuozhuo into her castle and was very respectful to Old Lu who came with them: "I didn't expect Mr. Lueri to come. If I had known this, I should have invited Miss Lola as well."

Without waiting for Old Lu to respond, Jiang Zhuozhuo asked curiously, "Is Miss Lola Mr. Luery's daughter?"

Cynthia smiled, "Yes, she is a very attractive lady, very much like her mother."

If there is anything in the world that can quickly bring two people closer together, it is undoubtedly gossip.

When Jiang Zhuozhuo heard that Cynthia was an insider, he quickly got over the unfamiliarity of just meeting her and took the initiative to ask about Lao Lu's wife and daughter.

Upon some inquiries, I found out that Lao Lu's wife and his daughter were both parrots who were very popular with males. They often developed more than one romantic relationship at the same time, but rarely actually married each other.

Therefore, Lao Lu cannot call her his wife because he still has no official status with her.

Jiang Zhuozhuo was so delighted that he laughed wildly without caring that the person involved was still present.

Some people are still wild men with no name or status even if they have a daughter!

Old Lu's face looked extremely grim.

Cynthia was more considerate of Old Lu's face and did not laugh along with the little round bird on her shoulder, but she couldn't help but smile a little more in her eyes.

It's really amazing, even though the two sisters have just met, she is actually becoming happier.

Cynthia said, "The birth of Miss Lola shows that Mr. Luery and his wife still have a good relationship."

You have to know that the birds can decide by themselves whether to open their reproductive cavity. Even if the two spend night after night of passionate love, as long as the female does not want to have a child (or simply does not want to have the other's child), fertilization is impossible even if they have sex a hundred times every night.

The fact that the other party and Lao Lu were able to give birth to a daughter shows that at least they truly loved each other when they were young, and Lao Lu's excellence was recognized by the other party.

Jiang Zhuozhuo had taken general education courses in mainland China, so he naturally understood this.

She is also very satisfied with the feature that allows her to control whether or not to get pregnant.

Moreover, even if a female bird is pregnant, she only lays an egg, unlike humans, who have to carry the baby for ten months and wait until the baby weighs several kilograms before giving birth. This method of reproduction is a huge burden on the mother, whether it is pregnancy or childbirth.

It’s so nice to be a birdman!

Jiang Zhuozhuo felt that she was a very selfish person. If she really had to carry a baby for ten months in exchange for the Mother Goddess's blessing, she would probably think... living a hundred years in good health would be enough. Why bother about whether she could live for a few hundred more years!
If it were to lay an egg instead, it would be much simpler.

It would be better to be like Miss Lola and the others, just enjoy love and sex/love without having to be responsible to any male.

She is not a scumbag who wants to cast a wide net, but...it is too difficult to establish an intimate relationship with others. Look at how miserable her seventh sister is. When it comes to love, whoever takes it more seriously is more likely to get hurt!
Jiang Zhuozhuo was secretly thinking about finding a male bird that would not be responsible for laying an egg, when she was taken by Cynthia to have a snack and rest.

In order to eat delicious food, Jiang Zhuozhuo transformed into a human form on the spot to meet Cynthia.

She has waist-length hair that falls like a black waterfall, and her eyes are also jet black, with a hint of amber visible if you look closely.

This deep, dark color has always represented mystery and power, but she looks so bright and dazzling.

Such hair color is rarely seen in the East Continent, and Cynthia couldn't help but take a few more glances.

When she saw Jiang Zhuozhuo's cheeks bulging from eating snacks, Cynthia finally couldn't help laughing.

It is indeed still a young bird that has not grown up.

Seeing Jiang Zhuozhuo swallow the sweet snack, Cynthia handed her a cup of hot tea and asked with concern: "Have you written a letter to tell the Queen Mother about your ability to transform people?"

"Maine wrote it, but no one will read it." Jiang Zhuozhuo said indifferently, picked up the tea handed to her by Cynthia and took a sip. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. She asked Cynthia, "Where can I buy this tea? It tastes good!"

Cynthia said, "This is a specialty of Liberty City. There are many dealers in the Imperial Capital, and it is also sold in the largest mall in the main city of Red Leaf Province. If you like it, I'll have someone buy some more for you to take back."

When Jiang Zhuozhuo heard Cynthia say she wanted to give him tea, he immediately remembered that before he left, Maine said that Cynthia almost lost everything in revenge against the Sixth Princess and her scumbag brother-in-law, and owed a huge debt in the imperial capital. Not long ago, she also heard that the entire Red Leaf Province was raising taxes, and many people were preparing to sneak across to other provinces to settle down.

Jiang Zhuozhuo said: "No, I can buy it myself."

Cynthia saw why Jiang Zhuozhuo refused and said with a smile: "I can still afford to treat you to tea."

Jiang Zhuozhuo gave the main reason why he wanted to buy it himself: "I also want to visit your main city!"

It's a pity to say that their fertile province only has a dozen towns scattered around, without even a decent main city, so various commercial activities naturally bypass them.

The reason why there is such a relatively lively dock is because the Woye Province can train many excellent sailors!
After all, businessmen are here to make money. Would they go out of their way to support your backward areas?

Only cheap and high-quality human resources can attract others' attention.

Cynthia said, “I’ll go shopping with you.”

Jiang Zhuozhuo readily agreed.

On the first day in Hongye Province, Jiang Zhuozhuo followed her sister, whom she met for the first time, on a tour of the main city.

He looked cheerful and didn't look tired at all from walking 30,000 steps a day.

When Old Lu saw the two sisters returning with a full load, he recalled some bad memories and shuddered uncontrollably.

Females are such scary creatures!
The next day, other people arrived one after another, and Cynthia introduced Jiang Zhuozhuo to the members of the Archer Club.

These friends were all ones she had known since she was a teenager, and many of them had already broken away from family control and started their own businesses. On the contrary, those friends who had become the core of the family could not come whenever she wanted, and could only write to her to express that they would treat her well when she returned to the imperial capital.

In fact, Cynthia was very happy that so many people came.

She knew that her friends had been critical of her choice of partner over the years, so she invited her friends over to tell everyone that she had let it go.

Jiang Zhuozhuo participated in the hunting activity organized by Cynthia. Although she didn't catch any prey due to her novice level, the old Lu she brought with her was still strong and managed to hunt back a lot of meaty animals for her, and he specifically picked those with tender meat.

The old one didn't even look at it.

Everyone was a little surprised, and Cynthia asked directly: "Why do you only hunt young animals?"

Old Lu said: "Old meat will become tough."

Cynthia: .

The others no longer enjoyed the prey they had hunted.

Seeing that everyone was having a great time, Jiang Zhuozhuo suggested treating everyone to a good meal at her "Zhengdian French Fries" restaurant.

Some of the prey that Lao Lu hunted had already been sent over to be processed by Helana and the others. Who knows, they might be able to eat it directly when they get there. It doesn't matter if it's not well cooked, there's still something else to fill your stomach first!

Cynthia suddenly remembered the braised meat Jiang Zhuozhuo had given her. Her eyes lit up: "Is it braised meat?"

Jiang Zhuozhuo said: "Yes, some of it will be made into braised meat."

A red-haired young man named Wilder among the club members said with great interest: "You also opened the 'French Fries' shop that sells marinated beans?"

Jiang Zhuozhuo asked in surprise: "You also know about braised beans?"

Wilder smiled and said, "Your store almost stranded my captain in the fertile province and he couldn't come back."

It turned out that the captain that Mogi and his crew followed was one of Wilde's men. Jiang Zhuozhuo offered such generous recruitment conditions in the territory that many people didn't want to go out to sea on the ship.

If an older sailor had not come forward and organized a group of sailors to help sail the ship to Hongye Province, his ship might not have returned.

Jiang Zhuozhuo said: "I just arrived at the territory and I thought about recruiting more people to do the work."

The positions she recruits for the people in the territory are no longer limited to shop assistants. For example, the sailors, waiters, and boatmen needed on the Hour Fries are definitely recruited first among her own people!

Her own people can't always be used as cheap labor for others, right?
Jiang Zhuozhuo smiled and said, "They also want to stay in their hometown because they think the treatment we offer is better. If other people offer more favorable conditions, they will also want to go out and explore the world like before."

Wilder didn't expect that Jiang Zhuozhuo looked so young, but he was not shy at all when talking to him. He even hinted that the reason he didn't offer enough salary was that he couldn't attract sailors willing to go out to sea with the ship.

Who said she was a fool?

"I'm looking forward to trying the delicious food on your whole French fry ship," said Wildrand with a smile.
