ll of that, Ye Shan actually came over. Seeing Li Lao Er, he said, "Second Master, our Hou Mansion has some matters, I need to go to the village to see the Marquis and bring you back together""Certain...Compared to women's preoccupation with loved ones, men are more focused on the latest trends.
Li Zhensheng had analyzed the situation in Xindu with his nephews and come to a simple conclusion: no matter what, they couldn't allow the womenfolk to return to Xindu.
The Marquis had been preparing for so many years, this year he was determined to retake Jiangbei.
Now, even the Empress Dowager has been pushed to her limit and could lash out at any moment.
Everything is in constant flux, and no one can predict what major events might occur in the next instant.
With the women present in Quanzhou, everyone can rest assured.
In three or two days, the new capital's orders will arrive.
At that time, both Jia Xi and Jia An would have to send New Year's gifts to the capital. Even Ai Bei and her son would try their best not to stay long and return to Quanzhou as soon as possible...
As expected, when dinner was mentioned, the old woman, upon hearing about Xindu and Suijin Beach, proposed to return home with the flotilla.
Li Zhensheng immediately refused, "Mother, you can't leave. I know you miss Xin Du over there. But things are still busy here and we need you to oversee everything."
"Jia Yi is already married, what else is there to worry about" Li Laotai frowned, her heart ached for her granddaughter dearly. She couldn't help but think of how close spring planting was, and how busy it would be at Suijin Beach. She wished she could just fly back immediately.
Li Zhensheng quickly gave a few nephews a wink. Jiaxi immediately jumped out and shouted, "Grandma, Third Brother is married, but I'm not!"
Lao Li angrily pulled him aside, slapping him on the back and pointing at the chubby boy in Ai Bei's arms. "Your son is so grown up, and you tell me he's not married Do you think children just fall from the sky"
"Hee hee!" Jiaxi didn't fear the pain, instead laughing and getting even closer to Grandma, she hugged her arm playfully.
"Grandma, it's just that my son is so grown up now, I'm only now worried about him getting married! Think about it, Ai Bei and I were matched by the Golden Buddha, that was a custom of their country, not our Tian Wu's!
Besides, I'm not marrying into the family, I'm taking a wife! Of course I'd bring Aibei into our Li family, wouldn't I
There is some truth to that. Li Lao Tai was speechless for a moment.
Sun Tzu brought his wife and children back to their ancestral home. It wasn't as simple as just saying it.
Then Jia Xi took his daughter-in-law out, coaxing her. "Aibi," he said, "would you like to wear a wedding dress and marry into our family"
Ai Bei had just witnessed the grandeur of Tian Wu's wedding, and the beauty of her wedding attire naturally filled her heart with envy.
Upon hearing that Jia Xi was willing to marry her again, she confidently entered the house and naturally agreed.
Moreover, she was smart enough to see that her husband intended to keep the old woman in Quanzhou. So, blushing, she stepped forward and bowed to the old woman.
"Grandma, I want to wear a wedding dress and be the daughter-in-law of the Li family! If I can't be a queen, then I'll be the daughter-in-law of the Li family!"
"Oh, good, good! Of course you'll be our Li family's daughter-in-law!" Old Mrs. Li might not care about her grandson, but she wouldn't let her granddaughter-in-law suffer even a bit.
She quickly replied, “Good, good, grandma will make arrangements for you to come in and be wed!”
Ai Bei immediately burst into laughter and exclaimed, "Grandma, what should I prepare Embroidered clothes Jewelry making Third sister-in-law's skirt is so pretty, I want one like that too!"
This appearance of eager marriage was completely different from the shy and reserved demeanor of a heavenly maiden, causing everyone to laugh.
As for Zhao Yuru, this mother-in-law quickly pulled her daughter-in-law aside and advised, "Don't rush, don't rush. Getting married is a complicated affair. We need to start preparations from scratch. It will take at least a couple of months."
Li Zhensheng also added at this time, “Why don’t we let Jiaxi and his family go to Beijing first We can bring back more things for our family. When Jiaxi and his family return from Xindu, the wedding preparations will be just right.”
"Also, we should visit the Tang family more often."
"Yes, Grandma. I'm your grandson too, and I still need your help with my lifelong affairs." Jia'an also stepped forward and hugged his grandma's other arm, just as close as when he was a child.
Li Laotai couldn't help but laugh and cry. Of course, she knew her children and grandchildren were unwilling for him to return to Xindu and take risks.
But the reasons the children and grandchildren found were indeed right.
Aibei wants to enter the house, and she also needs to get to know Ji An and Tang's family more...
"Well, never mind! I'll stay a few more months. I can't just abandon everything and leave like this."
Well then, let's leave things as they are for now.
Everyone was afraid that the old woman would go back on her word, so they quickly agreed to go shopping the next day, taking Ai Bei and her son for a stroll, and buying some things to take back to Xin Du.
The Kingdom of Golden Buddha venerates gold ornaments and also boasts a rich abundance of gold.
Even if Abe lacked something, he wouldn't lack gold to use.
So, almost the entire shopping trip, Abe was vying to pay the bill.
Li Laotai and others were unable to, increasingly thinking about making her and Jiaxi's marriage grand and lively.
Old Mrs. Tang couldn't bear the idleness and also cared about her granddaughter marrying into the Li family. Fearing someone might get in the way, when she heard the news, she also took her granddaughter to join the Li family's procession.
The Tang family had been based in Quanzhou for many years, and their network of contacts was extensive. Wherever they set up shop, the shopkeeper would always be eager to welcome them, bringing out their best goods for everyone to choose from.
After a long day of shopping, everyone sat down on the second floor of Baiyunjian to enjoy some snacks and juice. It was very pleasant.
As expected, at this time, a woman brought her daughter to have some refreshments and “accidentally” ran into the Li family.
Not to mention Jia'an, this golden bachelor, even Mao Ge is within the "hunting range".
The young boys originally followed the elders shopping, but they were just carrying bags and acting as bodyguards.
Being alone in a private room, brothers chatting and laughing merrily, suddenly a young girl would "walk in the wrong door" or encounter a scoundrel, requesting protection and shelter. How amusing this would be!
Finally, Old Master Tang got angry. He waved his hand and sent people to the county government office to summon constables.
The attendants were also at a loss, 泉州 City though more complex in its personnel, but still has good security.
After all, with the Hailan Army guarding them, who would dare cause trouble Those who did would end up in the county jail. Usually, they were sent to the military to do hard labor, like repairing seawalls.
That was a life worse than death, no one dared to try it.
As a result, seeing several girls with flushed faces, and failing to catch the rascals in their mouths, the officers realized the truth.
Is this where someone is making a fuss, or are they making a "wedding" commotion!
Then, several girls were harshly scolded and had their heads lowered before being let go.
Old Madam Tang and Old Madam Li continued to drink tea and eat refreshments. The young boys were still shaken, leaving only Jia Yi and Liu Yang, the two newlyweds, to accompany the elders. The rest had dispersed with a whoosh.
The city walls of Quanzhou, compared to Xin'du, were not much better. They were like sieves, leaking everywhere.
Any big or small matter becomes common knowledge in an instant.
This little bit of drama, of course, added more amusement to people's after-dinner conversations.
Over in Xindu, Jiayin didn't know her brothers had become the target of everyone's greed, vying for them openly and secretly. She was focused on the upcoming exams.
Last night, it suddenly snowed. Even the mice in the dilapidated Gongyuan shed tears. The examinees couldn't wear too much clothing either. This exam was sure to freeze a few people solid!
Babies, Huahua wrote part of the update yesterday, but later on she felt really suffocated, sleepy, and even had convulsions. Her blood oxygen level was so low that she had to be hospitalized for a night, so the updates stopped.
I'm still on oxygen today, and I can't guarantee daily updates in the future. I can only try my best to keep going, but I will definitely make up for any missed updates!
Hugs, babies, be sure to pay attention to your blood oxygen levels. Hypoxia is terrifying! During this difficult time, take good care of yourselves.a hand, holding their younger sister behind them, fearing she would lean back."How are you doing, little sister Let me have a look! Can it really see for a thousand miles" Jiaxi was anxious and couldn...
