Chapter 415: Things will naturally work out!

r four oil lamps were lit in the room, and there was a crackling stove burning, so it wasn't too hard to see.In the middle of the room was a square table, with four people sitting around it. Seven or...Of course, if Zhao Yuru particularly likes this daughter-in-law, she can also pay out of her own pocket to add some more, for example, headwear and jewelry sets could be added up to four.

But to compensate for Jia Huan's improper conduct, the family has added half of their library to the dowry. The Peng family is satisfied enough, and Zhao Yuru didn't add anything more.

They had already made plans, that when they earned a lot of money in the future, they would also find a way to compensate their family.

After all, the library belongs to the public, so it can't just be given away for nothing because a family member caused trouble.

It has to be said that the Li family is living well. The brothers are still united, and the sisters-in-law also get along well. A big reason for this is their awareness.

In this world, there's no such thing as what should be due. It's all about looking out for each other, understanding and supporting one another as we move forward together!

Mr. Wen, the matchmaker, arrived in Lu'an first. Then came Li Zhensheng and Li Lao Er, followed by the village head, all wearing their finest attire. The last to arrive were Mr. Liu Zhi Heng and his wife.

While Tao Hongying was to preside over the winehouse, Li Laosi couldn't return from the military camp at the wharf.

So, today's lineup is like this.

Although Lao San Li had no official position and his wife was also a cook, the old lady was a first-rank誥命, Lao Er Li was a count, and Jia Yin, the county princess, all personally went to the Peng family to propose marriage. This already sufficiently demonstrated the sincerity of the Li family in marrying their daughter.

Besides, Liu Zhiheng and his wife were invited as guests of honor. The arrangements for them were meticulous and thoughtful.

Everyone went directly to the academy gate. They originally thought it would be Mr. Peng who greeted them, but unexpectedly, Mr. Peng himself was waiting there. This also showed how much importance the Li family placed on this visit.

Thus, the two families treated each other with respect and affection. It was naturally a wonderful thing.

Mr. Peng invited two gentlemen from the academy and Dean Zhou to accompany him as guests. Mrs. Zhou was also in the back garden with Wenjuan.

After some polite greetings, the wedding presents were carried into the house. Peng Mr. gave a cursory glance and was very satisfied.

Especially the two hundred books, which made him and Dean Zhou's eyes light up.

Mr. Wen received the red envelope from the matchmaker and joked that he had made a fortune. He said he would try to introduce more boys from Li's family in the future, saying that maybe he could get rich just by receiving red envelopes.

Everyone was laughing, and the courtyard became even more lively.

The Peng family had no mistress, so the dowry and dowry list were taken to the backyard and directly given to Wenjuan.

Wenjuan blushed as she returned four gifts, all homemade needlework for Jiahuan: clothes, shoes, socks and the like.

Her craftsmanship is particularly good, and she really put her heart into it, so everyone was praising her.

At noon, the Peng family prepared two tables of wine and food. After everyone had eaten, they said goodbye, only waiting for the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month when the Li family would come to marry their granddaughter-in-law.

Jiarren and a few other boys were thinking about the dowry and waiting in the shop.

Seeing that the academy was about to start classes, and their family members were still nowhere in sight, they were getting a little anxious.

Finally, after receiving their family members, the cat brothers and the polite brother laughed and played around with each other happily.

"Brother, did you settle on a wife Are we going to have a sister-in-law"

Jia Huai was normally honest, but now he was so embarrassed his face turned red. He couldn't say a word.

The old woman quickly patted her two grandsons and chided them, "Don't bother your brother, or he won't cook delicious food for you later!"

"Yes, go to class quickly! Kids shouldn't pry into family matters!" Li Zhensheng also urged his son.

The little boys laughed and ran towards the academy gate. Ji An and Ji Xi hadn't forgotten to make faces at their older brother, causing Ji Huan to bury his head in his collar.

Jiārén patted his younger brother's shoulder, a gesture of both comfort and congratulations. Then, after bidding farewell to his family, he turned and followed his younger brothers into the academy.

"It's really tough on Jiaren, having to study every day and take care of so many mischievous younger brothers!" Li Zhensheng laughed. "Especially Li Ge'er and Mao Ge'er, they are probably the most worrisome. Tomorrow, when I see good paper and pens again, I will definitely buy some more to reward my great nephew."

Li Lao'er quickly waved his hand, “Don’t waste that money, Jiaren is my brother, taking care of my younger brother is what I should do.”

"Alright, family, no need for formalities. Let's tidy up and head home." The old woman missed her home. This time, if it wasn't for her grandson, she wouldn't have been willing to leave for several days.

As soon as she thought about her empty house, with no one to take care of it, her heart felt like it was on fire.

Jiayin had played enough and missed home very much. So she hugged her grandmother’s leg and cried, “Grandma, let’s go home! Funiuer misses home too.”

"Alright, let's go home, right now!" The old woman hugged her granddaughter and called for Grandma He and Dongmei and others to immediately get busy.

In less than a quarter of an hour, several carriages drove out of Lo An Town...

I was in such a rush last time that I didn't have a chance to visit my uncle's restaurant.

This time, taking advantage of the opportunity to visit her mother, she had made up her mind to have a good look around.

At lunchtime, the Xiankelai restaurant was almost full.

Jia Huan has returned home to get engaged, leaving only Tao Hongying and two chefs to hold the fort. One of them is a specialist in seafood, so their workload is quite heavy.

It was past rush hour, and Tao Hongying難得 sat under the eaves, enjoying a moment of fresh air.

As a result, the whole family returned.

Jiayin ran all the way to her mother's embrace, giggling and shouting, "Mother, Funiu is back! Funiu missed you!"

Tao Hongying was overjoyed. She hugged her daughter and kissed her several times, "You little rascal, you actually came back! Mother thought you were so full of glutinous rice cakes in Lu'an that you got stuck!"

Jiayin hugged her mother's neck and giggled, quickly flattering her, "No one makes dishes as delicious as Mama!"

"Look at you, such a silly girl!" Tao Hongying "disdainfully" kissed her daughter again, "Do you want to eat something Mom will make it for you right away."

"Don't feed her anymore!" Just as the old woman entered, she quickly stopped them, "We had lunch at Peng's house today, this girl ate a lot and her belly is already round. She can't eat any more, be careful of indigestion."

Tao Hongying, upon hearing this, hugged her daughter and rubbed her belly while telling her mother-in-law about the betrothal arrangements.

The niece-in-law is about to be married into the family, and she hasn't had a chance to see what she's like yet.

The old woman chuckled as she spoke.

This marriage is agreeable to both families, the betrothal ceremony is just a formality. There's no reason for anything to go wrong.

Jia Yin remembered strolling around the wine shop, and finally seized an opportunity. She pulled her mother over to the front.

It was already half afternoon, and there were the fewest guests in the building.

The boys were busy cleaning and wiping. Tao Hongying held her daughter and helped her mother-in-law up to the third floor.

The third floor is much more lavishly decorated than the first and second floors, especially the private room at the back. It's luxurious yet elegant, with paintings on the walls that add a touch of scholarly refinement.

Jia Yin ran around the house, extremely satisfied.

"Mother, from now on we will sell new dishes right here!"

Just then, Li Zhensheng happened to come up. Hearing this, he took his niece in his arms and said, "Since our little Fu Niu likes it so much, let's keep this room for your mother to cook private dishes."

Having said that, he also reported to the old woman, "Mother, I have arranged a private banquet for my younger siblings for 66 taels of silver. Someone has already paid the money. In five days, it will be the first table."

"Really" The old woman was happy for her daughter-in-law and smiled, "That's wonderful! Hongying has a place to really shine!"

"Oh, Grandma! The table, make Uncle Three hit the table quickly!" Jia Yin patted her hands in a hurry, causing everyone to be puzzled.

The old woman said, "This girl is mischievous. These days she's been clinging to the third son making a new table, and even drew a picture, secretive like it was. The eldest should ask someone to go to Luo An and send another letter, to see if the third son can speed up the work!"

After saying that, she patted her granddaughter again and said reproachfully, "You really found a good job for your third uncle!"ror understood and laughed even more heartily. He quickly comforted, "Uncle Emperor, I'll keep it a secret for you, your grandmother definitely won't know!"After saying that, she also instructed every...
