At this time, Princess Yongjia's face had healed, and there was no trace of it left.

What she gave Yun Shengsheng was a little rabbit, white and chubby with red eyes, looking very cute.

Princess Yongjia: "I found this a couple of days ago when I was playing in the back mountain. Isn't it cute? I'm giving it to you now!"

Linlang's hand had healed, and he shyly presented Yun Shengsheng with a sword. "I heard from Mr. Wen that you'll be learning swordsmanship later, and I'm afraid a real sword might hurt someone, so I'm giving you this peach wood sword. You can practice swordsmanship, and it can also ward off evil spirits!"

Not to be outdone, Mu Yu quickly presented a sapphire rough stone the size of her palm.

"This is for you. You can have your family make it into a pendant, chain, or hair accessory. I think the color suits you too!"

Yun Shengsheng happily accepted all the gifts from the three of them and hugged them tightly, not wanting to let go.

Mr. Wen said with a kind expression, "Although Sheng Sheng is young and has not been here for long, he is very hardworking."

"Here, this is a gift from your master!"

Yun Shengsheng's eyes widened in surprise; she hadn't expected it to be a dagger studded with gemstones!

Those gems alone were priceless; her eyes widened in amazement.

Yan Shijin coughed lightly and then placed a box over as well.

Yun Shengsheng was even more excited, her eyes turning into crescent moons, because the box was filled with gold leaves.

[As expected, no matter what the gift is, I still like money the most! Yan Shijin has really hit the nail on the head!]

Yan Shijin's lips curled slightly. He remembered that last year on the little girl's birthday, her favorite thing was actually the ten taels of silver given by Steward Chen.

As expected, she loves money the most...

That night, Old Li handed Yun Shengsheng a bundle.

"Girl, everything in here was given to you by your parents. Take a look!"

Yun Shengsheng excitedly accepted it.

Upon opening it, they found clothes, banknotes, and a letter inside.

She quickly asked, "Master, Master, how are my parents? How's the shop business? How are my sister and brother?"

Old Li was amused by her rapid-fire questions and answered them one by one.

"Your parents still run a shop in the county town."

"Didn't your mother used to make braised pork intestines and other similar things? They opened a braised meat shop, and business is booming. Your uncle and aunt have come to help out."

"Then they opened a grain shop, selling strange, exotic crops, like sweet potatoes and potatoes..."

"Also, your eldest sister is pregnant, more than four months along. But your brother-in-law and your fifth brother have already gone to the capital with Su Qing."

"Your second sister..." Old Li paused, his expression somewhat subtle, "She's been missing lately, and I haven't felt comfortable asking too many questions."

"Your third sister entered the palace and became a low-ranking lady-in-waiting in the palace of Consort Xian. I heard she's doing quite well."

"Your fourth sister is still studying by Madam Xu's side. She's become more composed than before, and, well, she's also gotten a bit fairer."

Old Li chatted with her for a while longer, then, feeling a bit sleepy, he went back to rest.

Because it was Yun Shengsheng's birthday, and Mr. Li and the others came, Mr. Wen gave Yun Shengsheng two days off.

Yun Shengsheng was so excited that she couldn't sleep, so she started fiddling with the things her parents had brought her.

She has several outfits, mainly for autumn, probably because the weather is getting colder and they're worried she'll get cold.

Yun Shengsheng quickly pocketed the four one-hundred-tael silver notes and put them together with her own little savings.

Finally, I read that letter; it was heavy and thick.

Upon opening it, I found over a dozen sheets of paper stuffed inside; no wonder it was so thick.

The characters inside, clearly written by her fourth sister, were definitely written by her.

She unfolded the letter and looked at its contents; her eyes welled up with tears.

I've been away for over four months, and the changes at home are amazing.

The contents of the letter were roughly the same as what Mr. Li had said.

There were other things that Old Master Li didn't know, which Fourth Sister also wrote in the letter.

Song Xiaolin and his group went to sell goods outside the Great Wall and returned in early August. Not to mention others, their family alone made eight thousand taels of silver.

Her father was so happy that he asked his brother-in-law to buy a farm near the capital, where they continued to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes, and the yield was really high.

There was another matter that made Yun Shengsheng somewhat worried.

That was her second sister, Yun Pianpian.

Yun Pianpian had gone to find Prince Zhen Linqing.

Something seems to have happened at the Ming Prince's Mansion; the entire family has been placed under house arrest. Yun Pianpian wants to go and see, but she can't let the news leak out, so she hasn't said anything to anyone.

Yun Shengsheng's hand holding the letter tightened slightly.

She remembered.

[In the original book, the Ming Prince's mansion was later accused of a series of crimes. The Ming Prince was beheaded and his head displayed in public, the second son, Zhen Linqing, had his leg broken, and the entire family was exiled and their property confiscated.]

Yun Shengsheng frowned, put down the letter, took out a stack of new paper, spread it on the table, and began to write and draw.

She wanted to write down everything she remembered about the Ming Prince's Mansion—the dates, events, and key figures—and give it to her second sister, hoping it would be in time to change the outcome.

She wrote all night, and the next morning, feeling dizzy, she took the letter to Old Li and begged him to send it home as quickly as possible so that her parents could pass it on to her second sister.

Before Elder Li could react, Yan Shijin had already spoken up from the side.

"Mo Ning, send a message back to the Chen residence by carrier pigeon and have Steward Chen deliver it."

He paused, then added, "Urgent."

Mo Ning quickly took the letter and left as instructed.

Yun Shengsheng turned to look at Yan Shijin, a surge of indescribable gratitude welling up in her heart.

[This person may seem cold and aloof most of the time, but they can be quite reliable when it really matters...]

Old Li stayed on the mountain for half a month before leaving. Before leaving, he pinched Yun Shengsheng's little face again and again, and gave her several instructions: "Practice your skills well," "Study medicine well," and "Don't always think about being lazy." Then he left, looking back every few steps.

Song Yuping, however, stayed.

Yun Shengsheng soon discovered that although her fifth senior brother seemed carefree and unserious on the surface, he became a completely different person when it came to studying medicine.

The dosage of medicinal materials must be accurate to the slightest. If the prescription is written carelessly, it must be rewritten. If you cannot answer a question, you must copy the "Formulas for Decoctions" ten times as punishment.

She's even more ruthless than her brother-in-law, Fan Sibo.

Yun Shengsheng was so tired that she fell asleep the moment her head hit the pillow every night.

The only solace was Princess Yongjia.

Since that apology, Princess Yongjia has been like a completely different person.

On the surface, he still treated Yun Shengsheng with the same indifference.

But as soon as Yan Shijin wasn't around, she immediately changed her tune and started playing with Yun Shengsheng.

The four friends did everything together.

Princess Yongjia whispered, "Sheng Sheng, let's go, while your senior brother and my cousin are away, let's slip away quickly!"

"We found a lot of mushrooms on the back hill, let's go mushroom picking..."

Yun Shengsheng's skin tightened, and he asked.

"What kind of mushroom?"

Princess Yongjia looked smug.

"Ah, it's red, so pretty!!"

Yun Shengsheng: Lying on the board? ???
