Everyone Wants to Pamper the Lucky Daughter C.485 - 483: Farewell and Bon Voyage _1

Chapter 485: Chapter 483: Farewell and Bon Voyage _1

“What culinary skills? I was forced to learn. Big brother doesn’t even have a maidservant, so he has to do everything himself.”

Lin Jinyun bitterly smiled and shook her head: “I just couldn’t stand watching him drink cold tea and eat cold rice every day, so I had no choice but to help him cook.”

“Helping and helping, you’ve become a great cook.”

Lin Qingluo playfully laughed and rolled up her sleeves, intending to help cook as well.

“You don’t have to work, go rest. Fourth brother will have the food ready soon, and we’ll start eating in a moment.”

Lin Jinyun was too fond of her little sister to let her work, and kept urging her to go outside.

“Clip-clop, clip-clop.”

Another rapid sound of horse hooves caught the siblings’ attention.

“Brother Meng and the others are here.”

Lin Jinyun, being tall, recognized the newcomers first, and felt a moment of joy in her heart.

“Wow, it smells so good. What delicious dish have you made?”

Shitou quickly dismounted, and like a whirlwind, rushed into the kitchen and pinched a piece of cooked meat into his mouth.

“Chicken stew with sealwort, learned from Grandma Liu.”

Lin Jinyun smiled good-naturedly and slapped away his stealthy hand reaching for more meat.

“Wash your hands first, then eat.”

Lin Qingluo glared at him, rather dissatisfied.

“Hehe.”

Shitou lowered his head and looked at both his hands, which seemed to be coated in coal dust, then snickered and slipped away.

“Big brother and the others haven’t come back yet? Is the Jewelry Workshop very busy?”

Lin Qingluo poked her head out, only to see Wang Meng, Feng Yi, and Shitou, but not the Lin brothers. She blinked, puzzled.

“The workshop isn’t busy, but transporting goods is quite tiring.”

Lin Jinyun explained with a smile: “Yesterday, we rushed to finish a batch of gold jewelry. The buyer was in a hurry, so big brother had to go out and deliver it in the afternoon. He’s probably preparing now.”

“Gold jewelry sells well.”

Lin Qingluo smiled: “We’ve made enough silver, and now we can exchange it for grain, just in time for Third Brother to bring it to the border.”

“Sigh.”

Mentioning Lin Jinzhou, Lin Jinyun’s eyes dimmed for a moment, and she let out a soft sigh, despite her reluctance.

“Third Brother is training the Shadow Guard, and his training has been intense lately. He obviously looks thinner.”

“When is Third Brother leaving?”

Lin Qingluo’s heart skipped a beat, feeling a bit unwilling as well.

“Setting off tomorrow morning.”

Lin Jinyun paused with her spoon, then added: “He’s leaving together with our father.”

“Second Uncle is leaving too?”

Lin Qingluo was shocked: “Where is he going? Back to the border?”

“Yeah.”

Lin Jinyun lowered her head slightly, her eyes reddening.

Lin Qingluo felt somber: “His leg just healed, and now he’s leaving?”

“Yeah.”

Lin Jinyun gently nodded: “The war at the border is tense. Beiqi’s power has been growing rapidly in recent years, and they are ambitious to annex Nanqi.”

“Once the South and North Qi merge, the defense line in the northeast will be stretched, doubling the pressure of defense. The uncles and other relatives stationed at the front line are under great pressure, and my father insists on going back.”

“Is the Lin Clan’s army the only one capable of fighting in Fengqi?”

Lin Qingluo’s pent-up anger surged, feeling dissatisfied: “What about the other generals? They should all take responsibility and work together to defend the border when faced with war.”

“The best fighting and war-capable force in Fengqi is the Lin Clan’s army.”

Lin Jinyun’s eyes blazed with righteous indignation: “The most loyal and patriotic generals are also fighting alongside the Lin Clan’s army. As for the others, they are merely puppets of the Empress.”

“What they think about is not defending the country, but how to get promotions, how to curry favor with the Empress, secretly stifling the Lin Clan’s army, and stabbing us in the back.”

“Despicable!”

Lin Qingluo’s anger flared: “A group of cunning villains who can’t fight on the battlefield, only causing trouble behind the scenes, and framing loyal and honest people. They really deserve to die!”
