Chapter 652 All the Lies That Every Girl Has Ever Told!

    

ear it any longer. Li Lao Tai, with great effort, hardened her heart and said persuasively."Right now, we're just starting to escape. You guys had better pack your things and run south quickly. We ca...Jia Erfu was even more surprised, because she didn't know about this yet, and she was slightly annoyed.

She thought she had reached a consensus with Li, and was intentionally trying to facilitate this marriage.

But what does it mean for the Li family to suddenly send their child abroad

Old Master Xing did not notice his sister's complexion and continued, “I heard that the Li family has a small fleet of ships that frequently travels to Quanzhou to transport seafood. This time, the academy rented a passenger ship and traveled together with the Li family."

Li Jia's children worked as sailors on their family's fleet, laboring all the way. Li Jiaren and his younger brother were both scholars, no exception. Previously, other boys in their family had also gone through this.

"This is truly remarkable and admirable! One must consider how many scholars today, besides reading, cannot even manage their own lives, which is quite shameful."

This remark immediately changed Jia Erfuren's thoughts. It turned out that the Li family hadn't gone back on their word, but rather, all the young men in their household were so arranged.

If it's after the year, then coming back isn't a big deal...

She thought for a moment and then said, "Since big brother thinks it's good, I'll find an opportunity to go to Li's house these few days and inquire about the divine doctor."

At that time, I will accompany my sister-in-law and Wan'er to see a doctor. We can also let my sister-in-law and Wan'er take this opportunity to see how the Li family is doing

Mr. Xing pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Alright, we don't expect Wan'er to marry into a wealthy and noble family. We only hope that her future husband's family is harmonious and kind to our children. As an aunt, you should put in more effort."

"What my elder brother said! Wan'er is like my own daughter, of course I have to take good care of her marriage."

Jia Erfu glared at her brother resentfully and then instructed her sister-in-law, "Elder Sister, you must take good care of yourself. If the engagement goes through, you'll have to prepare a dowry for Wan'er."

Mrs. Xing nodded repeatedly and replied, "Good, I'm relieved that Wan'er can marry into a good family."

After sitting for a while, Mrs. Jia Er hurried home.

She is the mistress of the house, and there is a whole family to look after.

Xing Wan'er saw her father go to the front study, and then entered her mother's room to feed her mother some ginseng soup.

Mrs. Xing took her daughter's hand and looked at her carefully, her eyes welling up with tears. "My daughter is all grown up. I remember when you were born, a tiny little bundle. In the blink of an eye, you're about to get married."

"Mother, I won't marry. I will stay at home and take care of you!" Xing Wan'er blushed, saying the lie that all young girls said.

Mrs. Xing laughed and didn't take it seriously. She asked, "Tell me, what did that boy from the Li family look like when he bumped into you in front of the teahouse that day"

Xing Wan'er's face flushed even redder, her voice dropping lower, "Mother, I didn't dare look closely either. It's just... his voice was very gentle, and he acted very politely. Even though it was the driver's fault, he took the initiative to apologize to me."

As she spoke, she seemed to fall into a memory, her words flowing more smoothly.

He was tall, but not burly nor slender. He wore a long robe, neither flamboyant nor shabby. Moreover, he dearly loved his younger sister, the Princess Kangle. The reason he rushed on his journey was because he heard that his sister was injured and was worried sick...

Mrs. Xing nodded, her expression brightening. "If what you say is true, then this child is truly good."

"Reading is good, being gentle and polite is important, at least he wouldn't hit his wife; loving his younger sister even more, in the future when he has children, he will surely love them dearly…"

"Mother, where did you go This is not a good omen. It's important to treat your illness first!" Xing Wan'er blushed furiously and, under the pretext of decocting medicine, rose and ran away.

In Li's courtyard, while Old Madam Li sat sewing and chatting with Mrs. Tong and Hui-niang, she grumbled, "There hasn't been any news from the Jia family! Let Jia Ren go out, or else have Mr. Wen take him there under the pretense of seeking advice. We should visit them."

"Sister-in-law, marriage is not something that can be rushed. To be honest, if Miss Wan'er is destined to be Mr. Jiarren's wife, then even if Mr. Jiarren goes to Quanzhou for two months, or even two years, she wouldn't be able to run away." Madam Wen smiled and comforted her.

Hui Niang pinched the needle and sketched on her scalp, then continued to sew the soles of the shoes, “Yes, Auntie, you see, me and Da Yong, even though the Yan family was so against it, we eventually got married. Our two children are this big now. A destined marriage can’t be avoided.”

"You two, you're taking turns giving me heart pills!" Li Laotai chuckled.

At this time, Jia Yin brought Grandma He, Shui Ling, and Shui Yun in from outside, carrying a full hands of large packages.

“Grandma, the winter clothes from the Hou Mansion have arrived!” Jia Yin went over and hugged her grandmother’s arm, smiling proudly. “I also got Grandma an extra long coat and a cloak. When Grandma goes to visit Old Madam Jia, she can wear them.”

"You silly girl, Granny has already got a whole chest full of clothes. Why are you making new ones" Li Lao Tai grumbled, but her face was lit up with joy because of her granddaughter's filial piety.

Hui Niang and Wen's wife both stopped their needlework and helped open the package.

Several people from the village were involved, including Zhao Shu from the back garden, Zhang the physician, Mr. Jiang from the school, the schoolboy Gu Li, and even the village head and his wife.

These winter clothes are made of fine cotton and new cotton, with no embroidery or patterns. They are simple in style but warm. The accompanying cotton shoes are the same.

Everyone took a quick glance, and Mrs. Wen praised, "The needlewomen of Hou Mansion are truly skilled, their handiwork is excellent, with fine and even stitches."

"Yes," Hui Niang also said, "The cuffs and pant legs have extra room. If they're not the right size, you can let out a piece."

Old Li also tinkered with her own two pieces, liking them more and more. She instructed her granddaughter, “Besides compensating these needlewomen with silver, remember to get some snacks from the shop and thank them properly.”

"Grandma, I've already given the orders. Right now, silver and snacks have been sent to the Hou Mansion." Jia Yin proudly patted her chest, "You granddaughter handles things, you can rest assured!"

Everyone burst into laughter, and Old Li even hugged her granddaughter and kissed her. "My little Funi has grown up! She can even manage the household now," she said.

Gui Niang thought of Er Cun and asked, "Over at Er Cun, have the coats and pants for the wounded soldiers and veteran soldiers been finished yet"

More than a hundred wounded and elderly soldiers from Ercun had their measurements taken beforehand and were entrusted to the relief agency.

Both burlap and cotton came from the Hou Mansion and were sent to the relief agency. This provided some work for the elderly and weak there, allowing them to earn a little money.

The wounded and veteran soldiers now receive monthly wages that are enough to support themselves, and they even have some surplus.

They had insisted on paying for their winter clothes themselves, but the marquis said that it was the first year, so he would cover the cost this time. In the future, they would be responsible for their own expenses.

Of course, if they got married later, they wouldn't have to worry about it anymore. Their wives would naturally take care of everything...

Thus, the wounded soldiers and veterans are working even harder now, hoping to get married sooner.

Lao Li said, "I'll ask the second son when he comes back tonight. It's estimated that it will be in these two days. Looking at the winter months, snow will fall soon, and we need to wear thick coats and trousers."

Just as everyone was talking, Li Lao Er unexpectedly came over from the front yard, with a face full of joy...
