Chapter 1147: Brother Lang knows how to win people's hearts.

Fu Yuxue raised her hand and beckoned, and her personal maid Qingdai immediately stepped forward carrying the exquisitely beautiful Xiao Zhiling.

The little guy had a pair of big, dark eyes and timidly looked at the women who had gathered around him.

"Ling'er, these are all your aunts, quickly greet them." Fu Yuxue gently stroked her daughter's cheek with her fingertips, her voice so gentle it could melt your heart.

Little Zhiling tightened her grip on Qingdai's clothes, and still spoke in her childish voice, "Hello, aunties..."

As soon as that soft voice fell, all six aunts smiled and praised Xiao Zhiling in unison.

"Oh my, Ling'er's words are as sweet as honey!" Third Aunt reached out to touch Xiao Zhiling's little face, but then hesitated for a moment, afraid of offending the important person, before withdrawing her hand. Her eyes were full of admiration.

"Look at Ling'er's eyebrows and eyes, she takes after our little sister. She'll definitely grow up to be a stunning beauty!"

"Indeed! Ling'er looks like she has a blessed face." The second aunt's gaze fell on Xiao Zhiling's fair face, her eyes full of tenderness.

Before her aunts could offer any more praise, Xiao Zhiling suddenly felt stared at by so many eyes. She shrank back into Qingdai's neck as if she were socially awkward, her wet eyes glancing towards Lin Lang with a pleading look.

Upon seeing this, a smile appeared in Lin Lang's eyes.

The next second, Lin Lang took out a wooden box from his personal space. The moment the lid was opened, the golden light was so dazzling that it was almost impossible to open one's eyes.

The box was filled with neatly stacked gold bars, which gleamed heavily in the sunlight.

"My beloved concubine, this box of gold bars is a gift I prepared for the children. Please distribute it to my nephews and nieces on my behalf." Lin Lang's voice was calm, but his tone was full of arrogance.

Fuyu Xue turned to him with a bright smile, and replied crisply, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Upon seeing a box full of gold bars, the eyes of all six sisters-in-law lit up!

The handkerchief in the sister-in-law's hand was crumpled from being gripped so tightly, and she secretly marveled: The Emperor of Shanghai is really generous!

The second sister-in-law couldn't help but take a half step forward, craning her neck to stare at the gold bars in the box, as if trying to imprint the golden light into her eyes.

You must know that after Baekje was destroyed, the Buyeo royal family fell into ruin, and each family lived a very frugal life. Sometimes they even had to mend their winter clothes. When they saw this chest full of gold, they felt their hearts were about to jump out of their throats.

Third Sister-in-law's eyes lit up. Ever since Baekje fell and she and her husband and family were captured and taken to Luoyang, she had never added so much gold.

Fourth Sister-in-law's heart raced instantly. Even if she could only get two gold bars, her future would be much better.

Fifth Sister-in-law immediately beamed with joy, her happiness overflowing.

Sixth Sister-in-law, a native of Luoyang, came from an ordinary farming family and had never seen so many gold bars before. Her eyes widened in amazement, and she even unconsciously slowed her breathing.

Fu Yuxue counted the gold bars with her fingertips; there were exactly sixty. She looked up at her sisters-in-law, her face beaming with smiles.

"Six sisters-in-law, there are exactly sixty gold bars. If we divide them according to the number of children, it will seem too small. How about each of you take ten bars to supplement your household income? What do you think?"

These words immediately caused an uproar in the courtyard!

Upon hearing this, all six sisters-in-law beamed with joy and said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Aunt and Uncle!"

Fu Yuxue picked up two heavy gold bars with her fingertips and handed them to Fu Yuyunyao beside her, smiling as she said, "Yao'er, take these!"

"Thank you, Auntie!" Fu Yu Yun Yao smiled sweetly as she accepted the gold bar.

Fu Yuxue picked up two more gold bars and handed them to her sister-in-law, Fu Dangshi, saying, "Eldest sister-in-law, you take these two gold bars, and you keep the remaining six gold bars, brother."

When her hands received the gold bars, her knuckles trembled. She said gratefully, "Yao'er, quick! Quickly kowtow to your aunt and uncle!"

Just as Fuyu Yunyao was about to kneel and kowtow in gratitude, Lin Lang stopped her, saying, "There's no need for that, Yao'er, get up quickly!"

"Mother, what should we do if my uncle won't let us kneel?" Fuyu Yunyao looked at her mother, Fudangshi, somewhat at a loss.

Fu Yuxue smiled and said, "Silly child, why are you looking at your mother? Your aunt is in charge. We're all family, so there's no need for formalities to kneel and thank her."

"Hehe..." Fuyu Yunyao playfully stuck out her tongue and smiled.

With a smile, Buyeo Long stepped forward and took six gold bars from his younger sister, Buyeo Seol. After expressing his gratitude, he dutifully presented the gold bars to his mother, Eun-shi.

“Mother, your son has an income from his salary and land grants. You can keep these gold bars.”

Madam En quickly declined, saying, "At my age, with you brothers and daughters-in-law taking care of me, what would I do with so many gold bars? You should take them back to supplement the family income."

Seeing this, Lin Lang immediately took out a silver note worth five hundred taels of gold from his person and presented it to Madam En, saying, "This is a small token of my appreciation from your son-in-law and Consort Ya. I hope you will accept it, Mother-in-law."

"Oh my, this...this is too precious!" Mrs. En was somewhat flattered.

Seeing how generous Lin Lang was to her family, Fu Yuxue felt grateful and her love for Lin Lang grew even stronger.

"Mother, please accept it! I can't be by your side to take care of you. If you want to eat or use anything, just tell my brothers to buy it for you with the silver notes."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. En was moved to tears and nodded repeatedly with satisfaction, "Very good! Thank you very much, son-in-law and daughter!"

"No need to thank me, we're all family." Fu Yuxue couldn't hide her joy as she continued to hand out gold bars to her sisters-in-law, nephews, and nieces.

The children received the gold bars from their aunt and ran around the yard excitedly, all extremely happy.

"With so many gold bars, everyone's life will be much better!" The second sister-in-law held the heavy gold bars in her hands, her voice trembling with excitement, and tears were about to well up in her eyes.

The second brother, Fu Yuxiao, stood to the side, holding a gold bar in his hand, grinning from ear to ear.

After receiving the ten gold bars, Sixth Sister-in-law couldn't hide her joy and said, "With these gold bars, we sisters-in-law will no longer have to work so hard to earn a little money by weaving cloth to supplement our household income!"

Fourth Sister-in-law handed the newly distributed gold bars to her husband, Fu Yuyan, her fingertips trembling with excitement. "This is wonderful! There's finally hope for the future!"

Fu Yu Yan said with a sense of shame, "I've made you suffer with me all these years. When we have money in the future, we'll improve our family's life."

Upon hearing this, Fourth Sister-in-law shed tears of joy.

The third sister-in-law's eyes also reddened. Looking at the ten gold bars she had just received, her voice choked with emotion: "My brother-in-law is so generous, and my sister is so thoughtful of her family. For everyone's tight budget, these gold bars are truly a godsend!"

The sisters-in-law chatted excitedly, their words brimming with barely suppressed excitement.

Some of them were wiping away tears, while others were laughing heartily. The excitement surging from the bottom of their hearts seemed to be washing away all the grievances and embarrassment that had been bottled up inside them over the years.

As En looked at the scene before her, tears welled up in her cloudy eyes.

She raised her hand and gently wiped the corner of her eye with her sleeve, but a relieved smile appeared on her lips.

After her country was destroyed and her family was captured and taken to Luoyang, she and her husband, Buyeo Uija, led their children and grandchildren on a life of wandering. Her biggest worry was that her daughters-in-law and grandchildren would suffer.

Now, seeing her daughter not only bring back gifts from more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages, but also a box of gold bars to help her family, and seeing the overjoyed looks on her daughters-in-law's faces when they received the gold bars, and knowing that each family would no longer have to worry about making a living, Enshi felt warm inside.

Sunlight streamed into the courtyard, reflecting the smiles on everyone's faces. Even the breeze carried warmth, and the joy filling the yard seemed to wash away all previous worries.

Fu Yutai was so excited that he rubbed his hands together. You know, in those days, a single gold bar could make an ordinary family live a good life, and ten gold bars were an astronomical number that could crush a person!

Qingdai stood to the side, holding Xiao Zhiling in her arms.

Seeing that the other children had received glittering gold bars, Xiao Zhiling looked at Lin Lang with envy and said in her childish voice, "Father, I want one too!"

Lin Lang smiled and walked to his daughter's side. He took out a gold coin from his personal space and handed it to Xiao Zhiling affectionately. "Gold bars are too heavy for Ling'er to hold. How about Father gives you a gold coin to play with?"

Xiao Zhiling curiously took the gold coin, looked at it, and smiled sweetly with her eyes crinkling, saying, "Okay, thank you, Father!"

Lin Lang gently instructed, "Ling'er, be good. Remember, you can only play with the gold coins, not eat them or put them in your mouth."

"Hmm." Xiao Zhiling shook the gold coins in her hand.

Lin Lang reached out and ruffled Xiao Zhiling's hair, then took out a gold bar from his personal space and generously rewarded the maid Qingdai.

Overwhelmed with joy, Qingdai was delighted to receive the gold bars. She quickly hugged Xiao Zhiling and curtsied, saying with undisguised delight, "Thank you for your generous gift, Your Majesty!"

Fu Yuxue was surrounded by her sisters-in-law thanking her, her smile even brighter than a gold bar.

Fu Yuxue saw the happy reactions of her sisters-in-law. In her opinion, the joy of her family members in the courtyard was more heartwarming than cold gold and silver.

En felt a warm glow in her heart, and even the grief of losing her husband was somewhat eased by the lively scene.

Just then, the sound of horses' hooves came from outside the courtyard.

Fu Yufeng and Fu Yuyong returned in a carriage, shouting as they entered, "Mother! Eldest brother! We bought chicken, duck, fish, meat, wine, and good food from the market. We guarantee that my sister and brother-in-law will have a very satisfying lunch today!"

“Alright,” Mrs. En sighed softly, smiling as she busied herself, “Daughters-in-law, quickly bring the ingredients to the kitchen. Today, let’s have a happy reunion dinner.”

The eldest daughter-in-law, Fu Dangshi, quickly stepped forward to take the dishes and said with a smile, "Sisters-in-law, today you must all show off your best dishes and treat our sister and brother-in-law well!"

"Okay, sister-in-law!"

The remaining five daughters-in-law responded in unison, all stepping forward to take the ingredients and hurrying towards the kitchen.

Looking at her family members filling the room and listening to the lively sounds around her, Fu Yuxue felt her heart filled with warmth.

Seeing the gold bars in the children's hands, Fu Yufeng couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Second brother, where did you get so many gold bars?"

Fu Yuxiao chuckled and said, "It's a gift from my sister and brother-in-law to the children. Each of our six families received ten gold bars!"

"Whoa..." Fu Yufeng and his sixth brother Fu Yuyong exchanged a glance, and the two brothers were overjoyed.

Looking at the smile in her mother Enshi's eyes, Fuyu Xue quietly took Lin Lang's hand, and the warmth from his fingertips made her feel especially at ease.

Lin Lang gently grasped Fu Yuxue's hand in return, their eyes meeting. They both saw love and the same expectation in each other's eyes—that from now on, their days would be like this, free from illness and disaster, and filled with family reunion every year.

During this trip to Luoyang, Brother Lang spent a little money to win people's hearts. From now on, Fu Yuxue will be devoted to him and loyal to him for the rest of her life.
