It seems like I came at the right time today

    

yes, she was right there in front of me, identical to me in name and appearance.Fang Jinxiu hurriedly checked the Lingquan space she had unexpectedly obtained before crossing over. Seeing that it was...When the two entered, they were surprised to see Fang Jinshu standing unharmed beside Zong Yu.

"I mean, isn't Lady Fang seriously injured and unconscious"

Pan Zhian and she were old acquaintances. Sometimes, there was no need to be so polite when talking. Fang Jinshu said in a bad mood.

"It seems I wasn't able to lie in bed and let Master Pan visit me, disappointing you."

Pan Zhi'an smiled and shook his head, "With such sharp words, and able to scold people, it seems like everything is fine."

As soon as Gong Yu entered, he subconsciously looked around, as if searching for someone.

Fang Jinshu understood perfectly. This Palace Master really had taken a liking to her mother-in-law

It's a pity, the grandmother-in-law is so devoted to propriety, she probably wouldn't accept Master Gong.

"My lord, have some tea. My mother-in-law took Yu Lian and the others to the kitchen. They said they're making a big feast today to celebrate our safe return."

"You guys are lucky to be here today, stay for a meal."

When Pan Zhi'an heard there was food, he laughed and accepted.

He had tasted the master's cooking four years ago and knew how delicious it was, but Pan Zhian was used to adhering to etiquette. Even though he really wanted to come for a meal, he wouldn't say anything.

There must always be a reason, or a legitimate excuse.

When Fang Jinshu said they could have a meal, he immediately had his servant bring the gift he had prepared for the visit.

"This is a little bit of local specialty from my hometown."

Palace Elm, seeing this, also hurriedly had people send the visiting gifts he had prepared over.

"You two are too kind."

Long He stepped forward to accept the gifts from the two people. Except for Fang Jinxiu, they were all now officials of the imperial court.

Pan Zhian looked at the Zong family brothers and felt a bit sentimental. A few years ago, when Fang Jinshu came to the government office to buy barren mountains from him, Zong Yu was still just a rough country boy, and his family made a living by hunting.

Zong Bai couldn't even get close to passing the imperial examinations, and he needed help from others to get recommendations for a college.

Now, the two are one a renowned Martial Marquis and the other a newly appointed official who has just cleared his name as the top scholar of this year's imperial examination. His Majesty has bestowed upon him an official position and allowed him to remain in the capital city.

Even if someone becomes the top scholar in the imperial examination, staying in the capital to become an official is still a long process. It takes years of hard work and achievements made in local positions before they can reach that level.

Some local officials might want to return to the capital to report for duty, but it could take ten years, or even longer, to achieve notable accomplishments.

With the help of Fang Jinshu, he only took four years, but Pan Zhi'an always believed that even without Fang Jinshu, he could achieve his current position within five years.

These two brothers are truly exceptional.

Several people chatted about what had happened in the Imperial Court recently. Fang Jinshu sat quietly on the side, listening without speaking.

She's not in a position of authority, so she's not interested in their topic.

"I'm going to the kitchen. You guys talk."

Fang Jinxiu thought that their husband and wife had also gone through a great ordeal and survived, it was time to celebrate well. Besides, they also had guests at home, so they should take out some good ingredients.

She drew five silverfish from the spring in the void, each weighing over three pounds. These fish were not easy to raise.

Soaking in the spirit spring for a year, it only grows to three jin (approximately 1.5 kg). For ordinary fish, just a few drops of spirit spring water is enough for them to grow into large fish weighing tens of jin (approximately 5-7 kg) within a month.

It goes without saying how precious this fish was, even Fang Jinshi didn't often take it out to entertain guests.

The top-grade game delicacies also included various kinds of mushrooms. These were particularly picky about their growing environment and previously could only be seen deep in the wild mountains. Now, Xiao Lu had somehow managed to grow them directly in their space. Fang Jinshi collected them all.

Most of the people in Daxixi had never eaten mushrooms, not even common ones, because they couldn't tell which were poisonous and which were edible.

Identifying the mushrooms was child's play for her. She originally intended to sell these mushrooms as one of the signature dishes of her farm.

She had always wanted to find an opportunity to test the public's acceptance of mushrooms. If fresh mushrooms were not selling well, she would cook them and sell them at restaurants.

Presentation matters; familiar dishes are always easier to accept than unfamiliar ingredients.

It's just that I never found the opportunity. Today is a good chance, though.

She carried a basket full of top-notch ingredients into the kitchen. When Yulian saw silver fish, fungi, and mushrooms in the basket, she was over the moon with joy.

"Wow! Today we're having silverfish and mushrooms."

Outsiders may not have tried fungus before, but the Zong family has had it many times. How could Fang Jinshi, with such a top-notch ingredient, not make it for her own people

"Today's visitors are really lucky."

"Should we go to the Jing Wangfu and bring back Dong'er and Yuanbao too These two children also particularly like eating fungi and silverfish." Mu shi couldn't forget her two grandsons no matter what.

Fang Jinshi heard her son's name and finally remembered what was wrong. Where did Zong Yu take her son

"Mother, I'll go to the Prince's Mansion to pick up the two children. It's also a good opportunity to check on how the Prince is recovering."

She knew that Yuánbǎo wasn't at the palace anymore, so she went to ask Dōng'er if he knew where Zōngyù had sent Yuánbǎo.

Mu nodded in agreement, “Then be careful.”

Just as Fang Jinshu stepped out of the manor gate, she spotted two carriages approaching. One of them was very familiar to her. Taking a few steps closer, she recognized it as Prince Jing's carriage.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

She hurried to meet him.

"How come Madame Fang came out herself."

The carriage came to a stop by the roadside, and Fu Shangyuan walked out with Dong'er from inside.

Dong'er saw that her stepmother was very excited, and she got out of the carriage in a hurry.

"Mother, I heard you were injured. How serious is it How are you now Why aren't you resting inside instead of coming out here"

"Why isn't Little Aunt Yue here to take care of you."

Upon seeing Fang Jinshi, Dong'er became talkative, a stark contrast to her usual reserved demeanor in the palace. This sight made Prince Jingwang jealous.

He got out of the car.

"Ahem, Dong'er, you asked so many questions at once. Which one should Madam Fang answer first"

Dong'er realized she had been a bit out of line and quickly regained her composure. The young boy pursed his lips, but worry lingered in his eyes.

Fang Jinshi smiled when she saw this, “Mother is fine, don't worry, Dong’er.”

"Greetings, Lord."

King Jing quickly stopped him, "Alright, since you're injured, just skip these formalities. Don't worry about it, lest your body gets uncomfortable and Dong'er blames me, your father."

Fang Jinxiu twitched the corner of her mouth, too lazy to argue with this son.

"By the way, how did you get here"

Before Dong'er could answer, King Jing had already spoken first.

“A few days ago, the Wu Ding Hou Mansion was quite lively. Although you told everyone that there was a thief who broke into the mansion and caused damage, this is my territory in the capital city. What really happened You might have fooled others, but could you fool me”

"This kid, as soon as he heard you guys had trouble at home, he was almost crying with worry."

The thought of his son worrying about the couple's inability to eat or sleep made him feel uneasy. He had finally suffered an injury and was able to enjoy being personally cared for by his own son at his bedside.

Before they could enjoy themselves for a few days, Dong'er's attention turned back to the couple. King Jing, after all, pitied his son, and immediately came with Dong'er when he heard that Fang Jinshi had woken up.

A few days ago, I didn't come because I was afraid that this kid would collapse if he saw her lying on the bed motionless.

"Mother, are you really alright" Dong'er looked up, her eyes fixed intently on Fang Jinshu's face.

"Good child, mother truly is alright now. Don't you still believe in your mother's abilities"

Hearing this, Dong'er finally felt much better.

"I was just about to go to the Jing Wangfu to ask you some questions, and here you are."

"Since you're here, why don't you stay for a meal"

She gently touched Dong'er's head and said in a soft voice, "Today there are silverfish that you like to eat."

"Silver fish! Prince Jing's eyes also lit up, it seems like today's visit was truly worthwhile, not a wasted trip."sy time at home before. In rural areas, people generally favor sons over daughters, and it's normal for someone like his sister-in-law, who was so thin, to be unable to climb mountains.Just raise it.H...
