At the beginning, the little koi carp was grabbed by a wolf and became the favorite of the beasts.

In the Zheng family hall.

"Zhizhou, besides the imperial edict, do you have anything else to do here this time?" Father Zheng asked.

Originally, he thought Lin Zhizhou would return to Beijing with Eunuch Liu, but unexpectedly he stayed.

Lin Zhizhou nodded and replied: "I came here mainly because of the gold mine. His Majesty sent me to supervise the mining, so I will spend the next few days on Longyan Mountain."

"Then also want to sleep on the mountain at night?"

Yu Yan on the side became interested and asked curiously.

"Of course I have to sleep on the mountain." Lin Zhizhou explained patiently.

"Uncle, can Jinbao go with you?"

Jin Bao became excited when she heard that she could sleep in the mountains. She had only seen the mountains at night in her dreams, and she really wanted to see them for real.

Lin Zhizhou paused for a moment. He didn't expect Jinbao to ask such a question. This stumped him. It seemed inappropriate to agree or disagree.

He looked at Zhou for help, not knowing how to answer.

Zhou smiled and tapped the tip of Jin Bao's nose and said, "You little bastard, you have become more courageous since you slept with Yu Yan, right? Are you going to the mountains at night without your mother?"

"I don't want my mother, we just want to see her."

As she spoke, she raised her chubby hand and tried to raise her little finger to cover her face.

The cute little appearance can break people's defenses with just one glance.

"Pfft~"

"Ahem, cough, cough... My dear mother, you are such a good baby. Who did you learn this from? You are laughing so hard, hahaha..."

Father Zheng was drinking tea. He couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing. He patted his chest to calm himself down.

A little kid actually said that he wanted to see something. He was so big that it almost made people laugh.

And the little chubby hands are straight no matter how much they are stretched out, and they are really cute.

"Hahaha~ Jinbao, you learned it from Eunuch Liu, right? We can't learn from him, that's not good."

Although Jinbao is indeed cute to learn, it will be troublesome if it becomes a habit.

At a glance, Lin Zhizhou's smile deepened at the corners of his eyes.

"Why is it bad? My father-in-law looks very good like this."

As she spoke, she moved her little finger, trying to be more like it.

"This……"

Lin Zhizhou was stunned for a moment. Although he was indeed not ugly, when he thought of Eunuch Liu's appearance, he couldn't say the word "good-looking".

Huang Jinxiao burst into tears. He held his stomach and said, "You little fool, the word "our family" is a word used by eunuchs. Why do you follow everything, hahaha~"

"What is a eunuch?"

After saying this, Jin Bao became even more curious, tilting his head as if asking for the truth.

"A eunuch is...a eunuch is like Eunuch Liu."

Jin Jin couldn't explain it, so he went back to Eunuch Liu.

He only knew that Eunuch Liu was a eunuch, but he really couldn't explain exactly what a eunuch was. He would have to ask his father in the future.

"Jin Bao is good, that's Eunuch Liu's bad habit. We can't learn it, otherwise we will be criticized by others when we go out."

Zhou bent down and rubbed her raised chubby hands, trying to make her forget that action.

"Besides, if Eunuch Liu finds out, he will be angry. It is bad behavior to learn other people's bad habits. Does Jinbao understand?"

"I understand~"

Although Jinbao agreed, he didn't quite understand in his heart.

She couldn't understand why her father-in-law was said to be a bad habit when he curled his fingers up so beautifully.

A small episode passed, and the idea of ​​going to the mountains at night was completely forgotten.

Seeing that Jin Bao no longer mentioned it, Zhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Father Zheng then asked: "By the way, Zhizhou, you are here alone this time, how can you mine gold? Even if you add all the men in our village, it won't be enough, right?"

Lin Zhizhou rubbed his sore cheeks and explained: "The troops mobilized by His Majesty are still behind and should arrive the day after tomorrow. If the gold mine area is too large by then, more manpower will be recruited."

"Um...I have a request, I don't know if I should say it..."

Father Zheng's face turned slightly red, and he was a little embarrassed to bring it up.

"Brother Zheng, didn't you just talk about a family? Why are you so coquettish now?" Lin Zhizhou joked.

Father Zheng's scalp hardened, he raised his head and said, "Can we, the men of the Zheng family, not participate in gold mining?"

After saying that, he was afraid that his request would make Lin Zhizhou feel embarrassed, and then he said, "It doesn't matter if it doesn't work. I'm just asking."

"Hahaha... What do I mean? It's a trivial matter. Your family originally discovered the gold mine. It's up to you to decide whether to participate in mining the gold mine. Besides, this mining is not for nothing. You will be paid." , there will only be more people participating, not less.”

Lin Zhizhou laughed loudly, amused by his request. He thought it was a big deal.

Father Zheng was relieved now. Not only did their family have to take care of the pastry shop, but they also had to learn how to make wine. They didn't have enough manpower, so they really couldn't spare anyone to go to the mountains.

"By the way, didn't the imperial edict also say that a mansion would be rewarded? Where is that mansion?" Thinking of the imperial edict, Father Zheng asked.

Lin Zhizhou fumbled for a bunch of keys and house deeds from his arms, put them on the table, and pushed them to Father Zheng.

"The residence is in the capital. It was the residence of an official in the past, but he made a mistake. After his house was confiscated, the whole family was exiled. This time you discovered the gold mine for your merits. The emperor made the decision and rewarded you with this residence."

"Hey, the gold mine thing is what we should do in the first place. This reward makes me uneasy!"

Father Zheng felt a little embarrassed that they had gotten a large courtyard in the capital for nothing without doing anything.

"Did you know that if the gold mine is mined on a large scale this time, the national treasury will be full, and the border will naturally have enough food and grass. This is a great good thing for Longsheng Kingdom."

Lin Zhizhou's tone was passionate, as if the gold mine was right in front of him, waiting for him to be escorted back to Beijing.

"This... I didn't think so long term." Father Zheng picked up the key and the house deed, and continued: "It would be nice to have a yard in the capital. If you have the opportunity to go there in the future, you can have a place to stay."

"What? Don't you plan to move there?"

Lin Zhizhou was a little surprised. He thought that since there was a house in the capital, his family would go to the capital, so that the two families could often communicate with each other in the future.

"I haven't considered moving yet. After all, the children are still young and the college has been built. We will make plans after the children grow up."

Father Zheng handed the things in his hand to Zhou and motioned for her to put them away.

Zhou took the key and deed, turned and walked into the back room.

"Then I won't go back to the capital. I will grow up with Jinbao here. When Jinbao grows up, we will return to the capital together."

When Yu Yan heard what Father Zheng said, she quickly expressed her thoughts.

"You...don't you want your father and mother to be together? Your mother talks about you every day."

Lin Zhizhou concluded, he didn't expect that his good daughter didn't want to go home so much.
