still less”Even if it was a well-known snack in Kyoto Castle, buying a recipe wouldn't cost more than a few hundred taels at most. He spent a thousand taels, and Fang Jinshi still thought it was too...Three years have passed, the child in my belly back then has already been born, that's now our little Yuanbao.

His given name was Zongxuan, and his courtesy name was Yuanbao.

Fang Jinshi reached out with both hands to take the jade from Yu Lian's arms. She pinched his cheek and looked into his jet-black, shiny eyes. Seeing his expectant gaze, she couldn't help but praise him.

"The golden treasure is so well-behaved."

The little boy smiled and rubbed against her chest, Fang Jinxiu smiled on the surface, but she felt helpless inside.

Because of Yuanbao's temperament, one really doesn't know who he got it from.

Mu smiled and said, "Yuán Bǎo still likes his mother the most. Although this child is close to all of us, he is only happiest when Jǐn Xiù praises him."

Fang Jinxiu hummed in response, holding the little one and picking up his chopsticks to give him some dishes.

"Yuan Bao, sit down and eat your meal yourself."

He put the specially made children's spoon in his tiny palm, allowing him to hold it and eat by himself.

Yuán Bǎo seemed well-behaved and obedient at home. If not for that incident, Fāng Jǐnxiù would truly have believed she had given birth to an angel baby.

Several months ago, Yuan Bao had just celebrated his second birthday.

The whole Jinshu Mountain Villa was celebrating for him. Other villagers brought their children to the villa, hoping their kids could play with Yuan Bao.

Fang Jinxiu casually mentioned that she felt Yuanbao was too lonely playing at home by himself every day and wanted to find him two playmates of a similar age.

This news somehow reached the village, so at Yuan Bao’s birthday banquet this time, all the families with children were eager to have their children chosen by Young Master Yuan Bao to be his playmate.

Being able to eat and live with the young master, and study and practice calligraphy together, not only allows the child to live a good life, but also allows their parents to receive a substantial amount of money each month. We can just call it the companion's salary.

In the long run, wouldn't it be great to stay by Young Master's side and grow up with him What could possibly be a better future than that

It's better than living in the village and digging for food with them, isn't it

That day, more than ten children came to the villa all at once. The youngest were a little over two years old, about the same age as Yuanbao. Because those even younger couldn't speak clearly enough to be playmates, Fang Jinshi didn't let people bring the babies.

The five-year-old is the biggest, already able to climb trees and play in the river, mischievously.

These children had probably all been warned by their parents, standing in front of Yuanbao, they looked at the neat and delicate little boy who was as refined as a porcelain doll. The children were all a bit nervous and at a loss, no one dared to move.

Fang Jinshui didn't want to get too involved in her child's process of making friends. She wanted Yuanbao to choose a playmate she liked on her own.

She gave Yuánbǎo a few instructions and then walked to the side to watch over him, observing silently from where the little ones couldn't see.

At first, Yuanbao behaved very well and politely. He brought over all the snacks his mother had prepared and even his own toys, piling them all in front of the other children.

The children in the village had never seen anything like it. Just looking at them, their eyes widened with disbelief as they greedily swallowed their saliva.

Yuan Bao stood still, calm as if he wasn't a two-year-old at all. He smiled and raised his chin towards them.

“These are gifts for you, eat them, play with them, don't be shy.”

"Mother said to treat you well."

Hearing Yuan Bao's words, these children who already had little self-control couldn't bear it any longer. They all rushed towards the snacks and toys in front of them.

Although there are plenty of snacks and toys, conflicts over them inevitably arise when there are many children.

Several children fought over a snack or a toy.

Fang Jinshi's brows furrowed, just about to step forward to stop him, but unexpectedly Yuanbao did what she wanted to do.

A two-year-old toddler, who couldn't even walk steadily, was directing Jin Yu to pull apart the fighting children.

Yuanbao grabbed a handful of other rare trinkets and stuffed them into the hands of the fighting children, wisely counseling them.

"We have plenty of these at home. You guys don't need to fight or grab them, everyone has some."

"If you want to stay, then you must behave yourselves and not fight. Otherwise, your mother will be angry and chase all of you away."

Several children, hearing this, immediately changed color and settled down one by one.

They hurriedly assured the Yuanbao that they would never fight and steal again.

This scene brought a sense of satisfaction to Fang Jinshu, but a strange feeling also flashed through her heart.

On the other hand, Xiaoyue, who was beside her, said with a doting expression, "Young Master Yuanbao is so well-behaved and sensible."

"Truly worthy of being Ms. Jinxiu's son, this servant has never seen such a well-behaved, considerate, and easygoing child as Young Master Yuanbao."

"Young Master Yuanbao is having so much fun with the children, Sister Jinxiu, you can rest assured."

Fang Jinshi smiled, thinking to herself that it was indeed so. Yuanbao had been exceptionally well-behaved since birth, and wasn't this just another day of his sensible behavior.

So she told Xiaoyue to pay more attention here and went about her own business.hadn't stopped your husband in time, he would have killed himself by now."As a husband and wife, you are still able to see each other. I feel that I have contributed to this."Then, considering your co...
