Chapter 369: The Peng Family Hit the Jackpot!
ase and lightness to this ship that had originally set sail south to escape the war.Mrs. Sun listened to the faint laughter on the deck, gently patted her sleeping daughter in her arms, and a smile ap...Li Laotai was coaxed into laughter, she grabbed her granddaughter and said reproachfully, "My little Funiu is like a fairy who came down to earth, she even met the Queen Mother of Heaven!"
Everyone laughed, "They say Fu Niuer is a little fairy, of course she's seen all kinds of immortals."
At this time, Li Laoer first picked up Mr. Wen.
Li Laotai led her granddaughter out, and Mr. Wen also smiled and bowed, opening with praise, "Auntie, your attire today is truly elegant, simply perfect."
Li Lao smiled slightly, a tinge of pink on her cheeks. She tugged at her collar and said, "I'm living the good life now! I dressed up to show everyone how fortunate I am to have so many good sons!"
As they were speaking, a sound of horses' hooves came from outside the village.
It turned out to be the Marquis, Li Zhensheng, and Li Lao Si who had returned, followed by Li Yong and Liu Yang whom they met on the way.
It goes without saying that everyone gathered together again for another lively feast.
Li Yong entered the inner room to see his children and daughter-in-law.
Two children had just finished eating and were already asleep. Hui Niang said a few words to him, then said, "There are so many happy events happening in the family one after another, but it's a pity that I'm confined to bed during my confinement and can't help out."
"You don't have to worry about us, the child has me to take care of. You should go out and see if there's anything you can help with. My sister-in-law and my aunt are especially good to me, even Shuiyun and He Mamá often come to help me coax the child. I feel guilty inside."
“Alright, alright, I’ll be right there. You take a nap for a bit. There are many happy events at home, so we don’t need to worry about this one month. Take care of your health, and after my husband, the Fourth Brother, and I go on campaigns, you'll be needed to help your aunt-in-law and sister-in-law.”
Li Yong persuaded a few words, and then kissed his children, then walked out.
Chopping up pigs and meat, slaughtering fish, chickens, and rabbits—these dirty jobs were naturally handled by the village head and his people.
Picking and washing vegetables, Tao Hongying was busy with Wu Sanniang and other women.
Li Yong couldn't get involved, just as he was about to go to the main hall, Cui's wife accompanied Liu's family.
Li Yong quickly sent a message. He heard that the head of the Liu family had arrived, and even the Marquis came to the door to greet them.
Master Liu came back to Suijin Beach after a long time. As soon as he got out of the car, he was attracted by the bustling scene inside and outside the courtyard.
The Liu family was a hundred-year-old scholar family, and they usually interacted with scholarly families and wealthy clans. Every time there was an invitation, the food and drinks were plentiful, and servants swarmed the place.
The atmosphere is certainly impressive, and the luxury is undeniable, but it's lacking in human warmth.
But at this moment, outside the Li family's courtyard, a large stove had been set up. In the big pot, meat and bones were simmering, bubbling with water and sending out a delicious aroma far and wide.
A dozen mischievous boys, shouting and playing, were occasionally scolded by the women.
Some villagers were picking vegetables, some were washing and peeling rabbits, some were fetching water, and some were chopping wood.
Even when they had nothing to do, they would gather under the big tree and talk.
Everyone was in high spirits, sincerely happy for the Li family, and looking forward to the banquet about to begin.
This lively atmosphere immersed Old Master Liu, causing him to chuckle along with everyone else.
As everyone came out to greet each other, he couldn't help but say to Li Laotai, "Madam, you are so fortunate! Not only are your children and grandchildren filial, but you also have such a harmonious and lively neighborhood."
Li Laotai heard Liu Laozi speak first with envy and praise, her heart swelled with three points of pride. She smiled and replied: "Old Master, you flatter me. A small village like this is about the only place where you can still see such lively festivities. But our villagers are indeed very united and take care of each other. If one family has something happen, all the families rejoice together."
Soon, everyone entered the house. The old master called Jia Yin forward. Seeing her plumper and more adorable than the last time, he was pleased. He took out a string of gold peanuts from his pocket and handed them to her.
Jia Yin smiled and thanked him, wanting to bow, but unfortunately she had only been learning for a few days and wasn't very skilled. She overestimated her little chubby legs' strength and ended up sitting on the ground with a thud.
Seeing everyone laughing, the old man quickly picked up Jia Yin and chuckled, shaking this plump little girl. "It's a pity that Zhi Heng and his wife had two sons, they didn't give me such a lovely granddaughter."
"Even Sunzi, once he marries a wife, his household will be even more lively." The old woman politely remarked, then called out to Liu's two boys, Zhimín and Xiujie, "Jia'an and Jiaxi are playing soccer outside. Go play with them!"
The two boys had to behave themselves at home, but only at the Li household could they run wild. Right now, their hearts were itching with impatience.
Upon hearing this, they quickly bowed and then rushed outside with Jiayin in their arms.
Jia Yin still wanted to hear the commotion inside, but these two boys remembered that their sister had the sweetest candied balls here. They'd only come once in a while, so how could they miss the chance to rob her
Thus, Jiayin could only be carried on someone's shoulders, extending her little hand and staring longingly as the main hall moved further and further away from her.
Everyone was amused by Jia Yin's reluctance to leave. Liu Fu reprimanded, "My two boys, as soon as they hear about playing together, they're practically going to jump through the roof!"
"Oh, they're all just boys. They should be a little mischievous. When they're not busy with their studies, we'll have them live with us for a few months. I guarantee you won't even recognize your son when you see him again, he'll be tanned and muscular."
“Really Then I won’t be polite, when there's a chance I'll really send some over, they’re quite picky eaters at home!”
The old woman and Mrs. Liu chatted for a few moments, then Mr. Liu asked about the details of yesterday's events.
Li Laosi repeated himself from beginning to end, and finally added: “The Yunchuhe town area has been taken over by the Imperial Guard. Brother Liu has to stay there for a few days to help out. When all the grain is harvested and stored, he will be back.”
Mr. Liu was delighted, “My eldest son, he has always loved silver the most since he was young. I originally thought he was the least promising one, but I didn’t expect him to skip over his second and third younger brothers this time!”
"People have different preferences, and it doesn't necessarily mean that only studying can lead to success." Old Mrs. Li advised, "As long as a child is filial and willing to work hard, they won't go wrong."
The Lord also said, "In a few days, we'll have a banquet at home. Mr. Old Man, you must let us know so that we can all go and have a drink of wedding wine. This is also a good opportunity to let everyone in Kyoto see your wife and Fu Niuer, so that later on, no one will be disrespectful and make your wife and Fu Niuer unhappy."
Of course, Master Liu wouldn't refuse.
Liu Zhiheng's official position yesterday was entirely due to the Li family's recommendation.
From the seeds to the land in Yunchuhe Town, it all belongs to the Li family. Liu Zhiheng is just lending a hand!
Now, in the eyes of outsiders, the Liu family, the Li family, and even the Marquis are bound together.
How could Liu's family hold a banquet without inviting the Li family!
At this time, Li Laosan's family, along with Jiaren and Liguer, plus Mr. Peng finally arrived.
Mr. Peng got out of the car, and his legs still felt a little weak.
Their Peng family is truly having a run of bad luck!
I originally thought I was doing my daughter a disservice, but who knew that the Li family was like a monkey possessed, directly jumping from a humble farming household to becoming a prominent new noble in the Heavenly Martial world!hi Tou were taken away, and the women and children scattered. We couldn't find them."Perhaps thinking of his daughter-in-law and grandson, he almost cried himself to death, his head banging against th...
