The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 466

Chapter 466: Chapter 435, Profound Good Fortune_1

After the roasted fish meal, Daohua and her companions returned to Ningmen Pass.

On the way, Daohua asked Xiao Yeyang, “What did Lord Wu want with you?”

Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua and pondered for a moment, “I’ll tell you about it later.” No one could dispute His Majesty’s uncle’s decision, but after reporting the newly found gold mine, His Majesty’s uncle might have additional rewards for him.

Seeing he wouldn’t say, Daohua didn’t press further, only saying, “The gold mine has been found, and your injuries have almost healed. I will leave tomorrow.”

Xiao Yeyang fell silent for a moment and then nodded, “Alright.”

...

There was no attempt to make her stay; the conditions at Ningmen Pass were somewhat lacking, and nothing was convenient. It was almost November, when the temperature would drop even lower, so it wouldn’t do for Daohua to stay and catch a cold.

Moreover, Daohua had been away from home for quite some time, and Mother Li was very strict with her teaching. It wouldn’t be good to let her stay out much longer.

“Are you going back to the Prefecture directly?”

Daohua shook her head, “First, I’ll visit my master and grandaunt in Taohua Village. My grandmother’s birthday is at the end of November, and next month the family will likely be busy. I’m afraid I won’t have the time to visit them later.”

Xiao Yeyang nodded, “Then I’ll take you there.”

Daohua turned to look at him, “No need. The gold mine has just been found; you should be busy here. It’s better if Third Brother and Fourth Brother escort me.”

Xiao Yeyang replied, “What do I have to be busy with? Lord Wu is overseeing everything. As for your Third Brother and Fourth Brother…” He turned to glance back at the two walking behind them, squinting his eyes slightly.

“They’ve been running around with us, disrupting their training. It would be better for them to stay in the military camp to make up for the lost time, rather than let their martial skills deteriorate.”

“I think Lord Wu likes your two brothers. When I get back, I’ll put in a word for them to have someone come over and give them some guidance,” he said.

At these words, Daohua felt something odd. Lord Wu liked her Third Brother and Fourth Brother? That was unlikely; after all, they had once kidnapped a few of Lord Wu’s people.

“Perhaps it’s best not to trouble Lord Wu?”

Xiao Yeyang smiled, “It is necessary. The people around Lord Wu are all very capable. Having your brothers learn from them will only benefit them.”

That sounded familiar to Daohua, and after thinking for a while, she remembered her master had said something similar.

Only, the last time her brothers came back, they looked like beggars.

Daohua glanced at Xiao Yeyang, feeling an inexplicable concern for her brothers. How had they offended Xiao Yeyang?

To her, it seemed like Xiao Yeyang was planning to deal with her brothers.

Behind them, Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai suddenly felt a chill run through them, and just as they looked up, they caught Daohua’s sympathetic glance.

Immediately, they both had a bad premonition.

After returning to Ningmen Pass, Xiao Yeyang sat in his room deep in thought for a good while before finally drafting a letter to the Emperor. In the letter, he emphasized that without Daohua, they would never have found the second gold mine.

He also wrote about the difficulties the young maiden faced trekking through mountains and valleys while searching for the gold mine, and at the end of the letter, he briefly described the situation of the gold mine and attached a rough map of the location.

Considering the significance of the gold mine, Xiao Yeyang didn’t dare to use a homing pigeon to send the message. He called for a Hidden Guard and instructed him to seal the letter and deliver it posthaste to Beijing.

The next morning, Xiao Yeyang left Ningmen Pass with Daohua and Wang Manman, while Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai were called away by Lord Wu.

…

Taohua Temple.

Gu Jian eyed Xiao Yeyang’s face carefully, seeing his rosy complexion and no signs of injury, he then had Xiao Yeyang come forward so he could check his pulse. Finding it to be deep and forceful, he felt relieved.

Then, he looked at Daohua again, “Delivering medicine would only take a day, why did you stay so long at Ningmen Pass?”

Daohua replied, “I was looking for a gold mine, wasn’t I?” Saying so, she lifted her chin proudly and stretched out two fingers, “Master, Granny, do you know, this time I went there, I helped Xiao Yeyang’s people find two gold mines!”

Hearing this, both Granny Gu and Gu Jian were stunned, and it took them a while to process the news.

After a moment, Gu Jian looked seriously at Xiao Yeyang, “Is what this girl saying true?”

Xiao Yeyang nodded and laughed, “Without Daohua, we wouldn’t have known when we could find the gold mines. This matter has already been reported to Emperor Uncle.”

Gu Jian could hardly believe it, he glanced at Daohua and muttered, “Does this girl really have such good luck?” He paused, then added, “Two gold mines in Ningmen Prefecture!”

Xiao Yeyang smiled, “That’s right, I didn’t expect it either.” Looking at Daohua with a smile, he added, “All thanks to Daohua, we might not have discovered that gold mine anytime soon if it wasn’t for her.”

Daohua beamed, “Master, Granny, with the merit of finding the gold mines, I might be granted a countess title.”

Granny Gu also smiled warmly, “You deserve it.” Saying so, she waved Daohua over, and when she got close, she took her hand gently, “You’ve really given the Emperor a big hand.”

Gu Jian was no longer stern, and he looked at his disciple with very gentle eyes.

He knew that the Emperor was in dire need of finding gold mines to address the empty treasury and instability in the north.

He himself had looked for gold mines in Ningmen Prefecture, but unfortunately, he found nothing.

This girl, as her grandmother said, was indeed blessed with great fortune.

First, she saved young Master Yang, then she saved him and his sister, and after that, she brought the Emperor right to their doorstep, and now she has aided the Emperor again. In a roundabout way, she indeed benefited their entire family.
