Chapter 747 Passing By God of Fortune

d a banquet at the palace that night, the Li family's reunion dinner was served at noon.Having made prior arrangements, the village head and Wu's aunt also joined Li's family for the meal this time, s...Until someone urged her from the front, Lao Li only then took her child outside.

In the main hall, the midwife who had delivered the baby a couple of days ago, was now transformed into a grandmother.

She held a star in one hand and gently splashed some water on its face and forehead with the other.

The stars didn't understand what was happening. They kicked and stomped, expressing their anger, and screamed in anguish.

The audience, surrounding the person, burst into laughter.

"Well, here we go. This is a tough little guy!"

"Haha, what a strong and powerful voice!"

Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Jia Er, Mrs. Xing, and Mrs. Wen, among others, praised

while throwing golden and silver ornaments into the bronze basin.

They withdrew, and Hui-niang, Xiao Cui, and Liu's wife and other village women stepped forward to throw another wave.

Although the offering this time was made of silver and copper coins instead of other things, it still brought a smile to Granny Meng Po's face, stretching from her mouth all the way to her ears.

Because according to the rules, anything thrown into the basin is supposed to be hers.

Then, she became even more agile and busier, her words of joy coming one after another.

Men surrounded the outside to watch the commotion, also shielding themselves from the mischievous cold wind, for fear it would blow on the chubby boy.

Li Lao San couldn't help but crane his neck, looking carefully at his eldest grandson with pride and excitement.

Mr. Peng's grandfather also came, stroking his beard, wondering if he was reminiscing about his deceased wife, his eyes slightly red.

Jiarren was taking the lead, with Ligger and Mao Ge'er surrounding Jiahuang in the middle. They were all envious of him.

Cat-er, this naughty kid, even said: "When can I get married and have a wife I want to have a son too!"

Everyone burst into laughter, reaching out to tousle the boy's hair.

"You brat, you haven't even grown any hair on your mouth yet, and you're already thinking about having sons!"

"At such a young age, you're already getting married. Will you be able to earn money to support a family Have you saved enough for the dowry"

"I can definitely do it, just wait and see!" Maoge puffed out his chest defiantly.

"I will definitely be very rich in the future. Don't even talk about marrying one wife, ten or eight won't be a problem!"

Jiaren patted his younger brother's arm and said with a smile, "Our family doesn't allow taking concubines!"

Mao Ge'er immediately changed his tune, "Then I'll marry a wife and have ten or eight sons!"

The laughter intensified, no one took the boy's words seriously...

Soon, the washing was over, and Xingxing was carried back to the backyard.

The feast in the front yard has begun.

The midwife thought about the woman in their village who was due to give birth soon. So she took home the silver and copper coins from her basin, plus the extra ten taels of silver given by the Li family, as well as a large piece of meat and a box of snacks, feeling quite content.

As usual, the old masters were gathered in the front yard, while the womenfolk enjoyed their own company in the back.

The women didn't drink alcohol. After they finished their meal, they cleared the table and brought out fruit and snacks to chat.

Jia Erfu and Liu Fu seeing that there were no outsiders, then whispered a few words to each other.

As it turned out, those noblewomen who had previously escaped death's door were already prepared with gifts of thanks.

To avoid being gossiped about, each family didn't send their belongings directly to Suijin Beach. Instead, they went through the Jia and Liu families first.

After discussing it, they took this opportunity to bring everyone together and send them to the Marquis' courtyard.

Jia Yin's heart itched upon hearing this. She desperately wanted to rush over and take a look, but she was afraid people would laugh at her for being materialistic. All she could do was sit beside her grandmother and act like a proper young lady.

It's a pity she was absent-minded, which made everyone notice and laugh incessantly.

Finally, the afternoon guests have departed.

Jia Yin led her brothers straight to the next room.

Those few noblewomen had been on edge for a long time, barely escaping death. They were now safe and sound.

She was truly grateful to Jia Yin, her lifesaver, so she was very generous with her help.

In addition to the items on the previous list, there are two more added.

Jia Yin sorted the medicinal herbs and had them delivered to Zhang, the Divine Physician. This could be considered a reward for the old man's hard work in researching prescriptions.

And from the remaining silks, velvets, and furs, Jia Yin picked out a suitable piece to make a quilted robe for her foster father, as it was just the right season to wear one.

After all, without a stepfather, things wouldn't be so smooth.

The rest were all sent back to the family's warehouse, waiting for grandma to have some free time to sort them out. The family members would use these materials to make clothes, shoes, socks, or even prepare for ceremonies.

The remaining exquisite jade ornaments were meticulously sorted by Jia Yin.

I've prepared a gift for Second Uncle, Big Brother, and Sixth Brother—a set of Yantai snuff bottles, brush holders, and jade ornaments. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The golden toad's four-legged incense burner to my uncle, the python skin whip to my father...

In short, basically everyone in the family has a share.

Lastly, the most common gifts in the gift baskets were various kinds of jewelry.

Gold, silver, gems, jade, ivory, agate, and so on. There are over thirty sets of them all together.

There are also a whole box of pearls, gems, and even several pieces of high-grade nephrite jade and chicken blood stone.

It can be said that these things put together are definitely worth more than ten thousand taels, enough to make a generous dowry.

Jia Yin picked and chose, playing with great enjoyment...

During dinner, each family member received their own special gift.

Li Laotai held the silk fabric sample and patted her head where the Five Blessings and Longevity hairpin sat. She couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.

"Our little Fu Niu is truly obsessed with wealth when she sees it. Her eyes light up whenever she spots gold."

But when it comes to spending money, he's truly generous, distributing things fairly among everyone.

"Look, this girl is just a passing god of fortune. She brings in a lot, but she spends even more!"

Good words seeped into Grandma's arms, and she coquettishly said: "Grandma was wrong. We gave everything to our family, so the wealth is still in our family! It didn't run away, so it's not considered scattered wealth."

Grandmother Li embraced her granddaughter and kissed her forehead, sighing: "Everyone says you are the most pampered in the family, nothing needs to trouble you."

"Actually, you have a heart like a puzzle piece, always overthinking things. Everyone in the family, one by one, is kept in your mind."

Jiayin nestled into grandma's arms, her heart feeling warm like a jar of honey.

"Grandma, don't worry. When all my brothers are married, I won't care about them anymore."

"From now on, just call me Grandma. Dress me up as the most beautiful old lady in Tianwu!"

"Li Lao Tai was coaxed into bursts of laughter, "That grandma might be scolded as an old fairy by people!"

Without speaking of how lively the Li family's side was, let's just say that in the city, the Xing family had just finished their meal and their children had returned to their rooms.

Then Mrs. Xing pulled her husband aside to whisper.

"Master, it's best to settle Wan'er's marriage as soon as possible. We can't delay it any longer."

Mrs. Xing frowned and poured tea for her husband, starting with this sentence, which made Mr. Xing's eyes widen.

"Well, madam, you went to Li's house today. Did you see anything amiss"

Mrs. Xing laughed in mock annoyance and replied, “You are such a scatterbrain! If the Li family were behaving badly, how could I possibly be eager to arrange this betrothal”

Xing DaRen let out a sigh of relief and, not daring to anger his wife, quickly admitted his mistake.

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault. Then tell me, why get engaged early"

Although Wan'er is of marriageable age, she has been running the household these past few years while you have been unwell. It must have been quite taxing on her.

"As a father, I feel indebted to her and want her to stay at her parents' home for two more years of comfort and happiness. I also want to save up more dowry for her..."yard, several guards went frantic. Just as they were about to rush forward and chase him, the charcoal seller let out a cry of pain and fell from the wall again.His right shoulder and both calves each...
