The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 1084 - 907, Reputation

Xiao Yeyang now oversees the Border Army of four guard posts, and due to a shortage of horses, the cavalry does not exceed ten thousand. This made him urgently want to establish a horse breeding farm.

If one day we really start fighting with the Xiliao people, we can’t do without horses.

Therefore, after receiving the letter from Wei Hong, Xiao Yeyang set off for Liangdu with his men the very next day.

"Master Son-in-law just came back and has left again in no time."

Guyu was somewhat worried, with Manman sister staying in Beijing, she was effectively the first lady-in-waiting by the young lady’s side, inevitably having to worry about more matters.

At present, the most important thing on her mind is when her mistress will become pregnant.

Daohua, on the other hand, took pregnancy more relaxedly; Xiao Yeyang was no longer drinking contraceptives, so whenever she could get pregnant would be left to nature.

"Miss, there are over a hundred milk-producing cows in the ranch, and plenty of sheep milk, horse milk, and camel milk can be obtained every day. Now that the weather is hot, the milk is not used up on the same day, and by the next day, it can no longer be drunk."

Cao Chuan came to Xiao Residence and reported the operation of the ranch to Daohua, and then mentioned the issue of waste of milk.

Daohua contemplated; with the conditions of today, it was impossible to preserve fresh milk. After thinking, she asked: "When I went out before, I noticed that most of the beggars in Ganzhou City were children. Do you know why?"

Cao Chuan replied, "Back to Madam, before the Master came to Ganzhou Guard, Ganzhou Guard was always the main target of Xiliao looting. Many children’s parents were killed while protecting their possessions, losing their homes, these children could only beg to survive."

Daohua fell silent for a while: "In that case, send the fresh milk to the pharmacy. I’ll have someone hang a sign in front of the pharmacy stating that city orphans can come to the pharmacy every day to receive a bowl of freshly simmered milk for free."

Cao Chuan looked at Daohua and respectfully said, "Madam is very kind; this will allow many children to survive."

Daohua thought for a moment and added: "We can’t let them form a dependency, pick a few glib milk givers, and have them mention the importance of self-reliance each time the children come to collect fresh milk."

Cao Chuan smiled and nodded: "I will carry out the task immediately."

The pharmacy and Cao Chuan were very efficient; the sign about the pharmacy providing free fresh milk to orphans in the city was hung up the very same day.

Beggars are the most informed. In just a short while, the wandering children in Ganzhou City learned of this, and eagerly awaited the coming day.

The next day, a long queue formed at the back door of the Four Seasons Pharmacy, all of whom were wandering children, attracting quite a crowd of onlookers.

Soon, the news of the Four Seasons Pharmacy distributing milk spread to others as well.

At the Dong Family, Liu Xiaoman was breastfeeding her son when she heard about it, and couldn’t help but exclaim to Madam Dong and Dong’s mother: "My sister-in-law is truly kind-hearted. There are not a few orphans in the city, a bowl of fresh milk per person, that must cost her quite a bit of silver?"

Madam Dong glanced at her daughter-in-law and sighed: "What do you know, Yiyi has such a big ranch that produces plenty of fresh milk every day. Now giving it out to the wandering children not only prevents food waste but also earns a good reputation. Killing two birds with one stone."

"Just wait and see, after this event, Xiao Residence will gain even higher esteem in Ganzhou Guard."

Having said this, she drifted into thought.

Yiyi is really a virtuous wife; unfortunately, because of her own blindness in the past, her grandson missed out on such a good wife.

Madam Dong noticed the expression of Madam Dong and knew the mother-in-law was feeling regretful again, hurriedly steering the conversation towards her grandson.

Ever since the birth of her grandson, the lingering dissatisfaction in her heart had dissipated.

Although the daughter-in-law is not comparable to Yiyi, she also has her merits, and with her son satisfied with the daughter-in-law, she is even less likely to disrupt the couple’s relationship.

Guard post.

Upon hearing about the Four Seasons Pharmacy giving milk to the city’s orphans, Wang Qi fell silent for a long while, then turned to Dong Jiancheng and exclaimed: "It is a blessing for the people of Ganzhou Guard to have Lord Xiao and Lady Xiao come here."

Originally, when Lord Xiao went to Liangdu, he wanted to follow, but considering the Wei Family’s suppression over the years, fearing to add chaos, he stayed in Ganzhou Guard.

Working with Dong Jiancheng, helping Master Xiao manage the internal affairs of the Ganzhou Guard.

Dong Jiancheng remained silent, recognizing that choosing a wise wife is beneficial to a husband—a fact amply demonstrated by the Little Prince and the Yan girl.

While the Little Prince reorganized military affairs outside, the Yan girl rallied the citizens within Ganzhou City. Together, they strengthened the prestige of the Xiao Residence in the Ganzhou Guard, which would gradually spread throughout Xiliang.

Thinking of the current situation of the Dong Family, he couldn’t deny the regret in his heart—if only he hadn’t looked down on the Yan Family and had agreed to let his son marry the Yan girl...

Dong Jiancheng shook his head; the outcome was already decided, and regrets were pointless. Shaking his head again, he continued to bury himself in the paperwork at hand.

...

After distributing milk for two days, Daohua came to the pharmacy to oversee things.

Given the rare opportunity, the children who came to collect milk were very appreciative, all queuing orderly and causing no trouble.

Of course, Cao Chuan had also assigned people to oversee the situation, ensuring no accidents occurred.

Seeing that everything was in order at the pharmacy, Daohua left. She didn’t immediately take a carriage back but instead strolled leisurely along the main street.

As she passed a pastry shop, Daohua’s eyes lit up: "The pastries here are rather crudely made. I should open my own pastry shop. With fresh milk available, I could sell cream cakes."

With that thought, Daohua returned to the Xiao Residence.

Just as she stepped down from the carriage, she heard a surprised voice from behind.

"Yiyi!"

Daohua turned around and saw Dong Yuanyao and Sun Changze standing not too far away.

"Yuanyao!"

"Brother Sun!"

Daohua took Dong Yuanyao’s hand, smiling as she asked: "When did you arrive?"

Dong Yuanyao replied with a smile: "We just arrived today and came straight to find you."

Daohua led the two into the residence: "Why didn’t you send a letter in advance so that I could arrange to pick you up?"

Dong Yuanyao chuckled: "Knowing that you and the Little Prince are busy, and since Changze is fairly familiar with this place, we decided to come on our own."

Daohua ushered the two inside: "Did you have a smooth journey?"

Sun Changze laughed: "We’re used to travelling. Everything went well."

Daohua nodded: "That’s good. There’s still some bandit trouble in Xiliang." Then, looking at Dong Yuanyao’s belly, she added, "I haven’t had the chance to congratulate you. Did you give birth to a son or a daughter?"

Dong Yuanyao replied with a smile: "A son. I wanted to bring him here to show him to my parents and elder brother, but he’s still too small and I was worried about the journey, so I left him at home with my mother-in-law to look after."

Daohua: "Look at me, I forgot to send someone to notify Auntie and the others." She then laughed, "Now Uncle Dong and Big Brother Dong are both working at the guard post, and Auntie and the others have also settled here in Ganzhou City."

Dong Yuanyao suddenly gripped Daohua’s hands tightly, her eyes reddening: "Yiyi, thank you, and thank the Little Prince too. Thank you for taking care of my family."

Daohua patted Dong Yuanyao’s hand with a smile: "Between us, is there any need for such words? You must be tired after the journey, sit down and rest."

After Dong Yuanyao sat down and drank a cup of tea, she said to Daohua: "Yiyi, I’d like to go see my mother and the others first."

Daohua nodded: "Okay, I’ll arrange for someone to guide you. After you’ve seen Auntie and the others, we can talk more."
