Chapter 793: Golden Nest, Silver Nest, Not as Good as One&ap
ucceed."At last, as if remembering something suddenly, he asked, "I heard that the Crown Prince has taken a liking to the young lady from the Jiangning Hou's residence"The Marquis of Zhen Guo felt a t...Li Zhensheng and Li Lao'er didn't stop him.
First, the elderly mother wants to live wherever she feels comfortable, and they are happy as long as she is comfortable.
Furthermore, there is a patrol team in the village, and fellow villagers who help each other out. The safety of one's family is indeed more secure.
Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru and others had no objections.
The Earl's mansion was well-built, but it was nothing compared to the ease of village life.
Thus, in less than half an hour, everyone got on the carriage and returned to the village.
In the new village of Suijin Tan, both young and old were very unaccustomed to it.
They had lived with the Li family here for several years, and it was the first time the Li family courtyard was so empty.
Everyone who passed by couldn't help but glance at the tightly shut gate of Li's house, feeling a sense of uneasiness in their hearts.
But it also felt like something was missing, a bit unsettling.
So, when everyone heard that the Li family caravan was back, Grandma and Grandpa, along with the County Princess, had all returned. Almost every man, woman, and child in the village rushed out to greet them at the village entrance, full of joy and excitement.
"Grandma, you're back! We all felt like we were lost without you!"
"Yes, madam, the city is nowhere near as peaceful and tranquil as our village!"
"Fourth Madam, there are more people from the noodle shop who have ordered a lot of noodles. They're waiting for you to assign them tasks!"
"Lady, it seems that the apothecary's place has a maid who boiled medicine wrong. We've been smelling the foul stench all day."
A cacophony of voices filled the air as villagers discussed the recent events that had transpired over the past two days.
There are good and bad sides to it, but the conclusion and purpose are the same: the village cannot exist without the Li family.
It's best if the entire Li family, young and old, stays indoors from now on. Everyone should stay together and enjoy each other's company.
Li Laotai was also delighted, saying, “Oh, a golden nest or a silver nest is nothing compared to one’s own dog’s den. The city is lively, but it's just not as comfortable as our own home.”
"Just relax, go about your business. I won't be coming into town for anything unimportant from now on!"
Though their schemes were exposed, everyone remained unfazed, laughing and helping to move things around.
Tao Hongying took the initiative to distribute the snacks brought back from the city among the villagers, making everyone happy and return home cheerfully!
The village head and Zhao Shu, along with Liu Biaotou and others, had just received the "maid servant" sent back from the city. Naturally, they knew that something had gone wrong with today's banquet.
So, after the crowd dispersed, they entered Li's courtyard.
Jia Huan was not at ease with Xian Ke Lai's business dealings, so he went back to supervise.
Li Laosan also returned to Lu'an Academy, guarding against someone plotting against the canteen.
Only Li Zhensheng was left at home, accompanied by Jiaren and Liguer. Li Laoer had gone to Zhang Shenyi's place, intending to pry some information out of the maidservant's mouth.
Jiayin still wanted to go with Erbo, but she was pulled back by Lao Tai Li. “You’re a girl, you shouldn’t get involved in these matters. There are uncles and cousins at home.”
With no other option, he could only honestly go wash and change his clothes.
Time is truly a magical thing.
In just two short years, the little chubby girl had blossomed into a beautiful young lady.
Jia Yin took a bath and changed into a set of goose-yellow dress, with a palm-width emerald green sash tied around her waist and a milky white jade pendant hanging from it. She looked graceful and elegant.
Her hair was simply braided with pearl ribbons, most of it piled up on top. Two strands hung down, and she wore matching pearl earrings that swayed playfully as she walked, making her look lively and spirited.
She was naturally beautiful with delicate features and a refined air. After dressing up, she went to see the old lady and completely charmed her. The old lady showered her with praise.
"My daughter Fu Niu'er is the most beautiful! In a few years, no other girl in Tianwu will be able to compare to my Fu Niu'er."
Tao Hongying, also proud of her daughter's excellence, smiled and brought her daughter beside her, helping her smooth out her skirt.
When she was a little girl, her family and everyone around her doted on her.
Tao Hongying was afraid that her daughter, raised like this, would become spoiled and unruly. She occasionally suppressed her a few times.
Now that her daughter has grown up, intelligent and sensible, filial and generous, she can finally rest assured and join the ranks of loving doting.
She instructed, "You haven't been sleeping well these past few days, have you Your face has thinned out. I'll make you some bird's nest porridge tonight. Drink it before bed."
Jia Yin pinched her double chin, helplessly agreeing.
There's a kind of thinness in the world, your mother thinks you've lost weight...
The older Mrs. Li looked at her granddaughter, the happier she became, and urged her on.
"Funiu'er, why are you hiding your jewelry so carefully You're afraid mice will steal them, right Just wear them all from now on! The more extravagant, the better!"
"Don't dress in plain colors, young girl. You should wear bright and lively attire—it looks more festive!"
"Okay, I'll listen to Grandma. From now on, I'll wear all those jewelry and have four maidservants follow me at all times." Jiayin giggled and hugged her grandmother's arm, agreeing readily.
Li Laotai was curious and asked, "What are so many maidservants for"
Jia Yin tilted her chin up, pretending to be burdened by the weight of it all. "With so many hairpins and ornaments, my head would look like a porcupine."
"I walked forward, going down all the way, and my maidservant followed behind me, picking up things constantly. How could this be possible with fewer people"
Li Laotai and Tao Hongying and others were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
Jia Yin's description was so vivid, they couldn't stop laughing just thinking about having their heads full of spikes like hedgehogs.
"Ouch, ouch, my stomach hurts! This little rascal is so naughty, she made me laugh to death!" Li Laotai rubbed her belly and pulled her granddaughter closer, holding her like a precious treasure.
Zhao Yuru was also laughing until her cheeks ached, as she rubbed and said: "In our family, anyone can go out, but Fu Niuer must be kept close by. If she leaves the house, our days would be terribly boring!"
"Then we'll have her marry and move in with her husband!" Li Lao Tai waved his hand, "Fu Niuer is a county princess, after all, she has her own fiefdom and county princess mansion. Finding a husband isn't difficult."
Wan'er held a bowl of red date tea and sipped it. Round-round had been sent back to sleep, and she was enjoying the rare moment of peace and ease.
Then, she laughed and chimed in, "Grandma is right. In most families, the eldest son is expected to inherit the family business. They're taught very traditionally and seriously. "
"The younger sons of various families are quite clever and adaptable. We should select the best ones, investigate their background thoroughly, and observe them for several more years."
"If her conduct is truly commendable, we can discuss marriage later. After all, your younger sister is only about ten years old, so it's too early to be betrothed!"
"Wan'er is right, from now on, when we go out, if we see any good young men in someone else's family, we should all pay attention." Li Lao Tai really took her words to heart and started giving everyone "assignments".
Everyone couldn't help but laugh, but it was also a refreshing feeling.
Especially Tao Hongying, made up her mind to socialize more in the future.
Actually, those who cherish their daughters usually try to get a good look at them early on, for fear of making a mistake and having their daughter wronged for a lifetime.
It's a bit ahead of schedule, maybe four or five years early. A slight exaggeration, but understandable.
Who wouldn't adore the only little darling in the whole family!
The village head and others sat together drinking tea, also smiling and listening happily.
When it came to the county lord's marriage, they had no say and couldn't offer any suitable candidates. However, they could always be there to support her.
Whether it's marriage by the bride leaving her family or marriage by the groom joining his wife's family, no one is allowed to bully our county princess!
The crowd buzzed with conversation, and unknowingly half an hour passed.
And Li Lao'er also came back from Zhang Shenyi, his face cold as if it could scrape down two ounces of frost.
Everyone instinctively stopped laughing...
Here are three more chapters for you~~t wouldn't be a bad thing...Thinking this way, everyone said they would definitely go and support her on the opening day.With such a good start to the banquet, what followed was a lively and smooth ce...
