Chapter 933: Brothers on the Battlefield

had some face. The soldiers guarding the palace gate didn't even check them, master and servant, before letting them in.The master felt relieved and followed Elder Feng all the way to a side hall next...Suiling and Shuiyun naturally had nothing to say. However, Mu Xu coughed twice and replied, "After running around all morning, I'm a little thirsty. It would be great if there was a cup of milk tea!"

Milk tea

Jia Yin was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh.

She shielded herself with her handbag and tossed a box of milk tea powder from the space.

"Just say what you want, why beat around the bush We can't do without anyone, especially not you! Besides, didn't you just have a drink last night"

Mu Xu laughed wickedly, took the box and stuffed it into his waist, then ran away.

Leaving Shuǐyún and Shuǐlíng with strange expressions, staring at their master, it was evident they had a lot they wanted to say.

Jia Yin only then realized she had slipped up, quickly turning her head and hurrying toward the old house.

Shuiling and Shuiyun chased after him, and Potian's endless chatter began.

"Miss, Mu Guard is a man. How can you still see him at night and drink milk tea!"

"If someone were to see this, Miss, your reputation would be ruined."

"Don't even mention it to outsiders, even Old Madam and Fourth Madam knew, they would be furious!"

A gentle spring breeze, hearing the commotion, quickly swirled over to listen to the news. As a result, in no time, it retreated amidst the chatter of two maids...

Although Zhang, the Divine Physician, was eccentric and never spoke kindly, he never left Li Jia's village after meeting them and the villagers.

And on his journey fleeing, he has wholeheartedly protected the young and old of the village, and everyone treats him like an elder.

When someone in the neighborhood stews some meat or makes a fancy dish, they always make sure to send a plate to the old man.

This time, the old man's new medicine he had been working on for several years finally succeeded.

In the village, regardless of age or gender, whether they knew the importance of new medicine or not, everyone was happy for the old man.

So, at dinner time, not only did Li La Er, Mr. Wen, and the Jia Ren brothers come back.

Liu Ziheng and Guo Wenhao also came to offer congratulations. Together with Mr. Jiang and Gu Li, the men from each family made up three tables, bringing much-needed liveliness to the long deserted courtyard of the Li family.

Zhang Shini was coaxed into a beaming smile, needless to say, he was completely drunk.

Everyone laughed and chatted, then they talked about Jiaxi and Ji'an who were coming back soon, as well as Jia'yi and Liu Yang who were about to get married. They felt both nostalgic and happy.

But all men have an restless heart.

Now that every household lives a comfortable and peaceful life, men secretly plan to join merchant fleets to visit Quanzhou or even explore foreign lands overseas.

When the mood struck, even men started drinking and taking turns going out to broaden their horizons.

We can't just leave all at once, after all, someone needs to stay and protect our home.

When women had nothing to do at home, they also wanted some excitement and all came running with melon seeds and peanuts to hear the news.

As a result, they heard the old men at home were about to go out and relieve themselves. They hated it so much that they gritted their teeth in secret, just waiting for the drunkard to return home so they could have a good talk with them.

Needless to say, the next morning, every gentleman would have several purple bumps on their waist...

On one hand, we don't need to talk about how everyone in Xindu was eagerly waiting. Let's just say that the welcoming procession from Quanzhou finally arrived at Yuejia and Coral's courtyard on this day, with drums beating and gongs clanging.

Neighbors had been watching for a long time, and at this moment, they all came out to congratulate him.

It is well-known that the Yue family was wealthy and would give their daughters generous dowries.

But this orphaned girl, Coral, actually prepared thirty-six sedan chairs for her dowry. Her clothes, household items, wooden furniture, and jewelry were all complete. This surprised everyone.

When word got out that the old doctor had gone on a perilous expedition to gather medicine and given his adopted daughter enough dowry silver, everyone couldn't help but praise and admire him.

Everyone says that the old army doctor, though elderly, has gotten a great deal by taking in a general's wife as his adopted daughter.

Looking back, it seems that kindness is reciprocal. The elderlies are indeed very affectionate and loyal, and they have fulfilled their responsibilities as foster fathers.

The old doctor sat in the main seat, seeing Coral and Jia Yi kneeling before him, kowtowing to him, he couldn't help but wipe away tears.

After seeing off the young couple, he loudly called his neighbors to join him for a drink, shouting, "My son, this old geezer buried halfway in the ground, didn't expect such a happy day! Everyone, have a good time today and don't go home until you are drunk! Let's drink!"

"Okay, big brother, rest assured. We've been waiting for this wedding wine for ages, we definitely won't be polite!"

"Yes, my elder brother has been practicing medicine and accumulating virtue for half his life. Now it's his good fortune."

The flower-decorated sedan chair was carried by many people, and neighbors, whether genuinely or politely, responded with loud cheers.

Some people are quick-witted and no matter how good the food and drink, they can't keep their mouths shut and just have to gossip.

"Coral girl married General Li, who is the third son of the Li family. It's said that the fourth son of the Li family just brought his wife back, she is the queen of a foreign country! Then wouldn't Coral girl become sisters-in-law with the foreign queen!"

"Haha, that's right. I heard too, these Li family boys are all capable. I heard the eldest and second young masters in Kyoto married daughters from official families and well-respected scholarly lineages. Compared to them, our Coral girl is indeed a bit lacking in prestige."

Some people were quick-witted and immediately stopped their words, smiling and saying, "The Li family is known for its benevolence and righteousness. They don't care about a daughter-in-law's background when choosing a bride, and they treat their daughters-in-law well without taking concubines. Miss Coral will be happy if she marries into the Li family!"

Bystanders reacted awkwardly, stifling their laughter and quickly changing the subject.

"Yes, yes, there's nothing more fortunate than a coral."

"Yes, the young couple are destined to be together."

Needless to say, the small courtyard was bustling with excitement. The Li family was expecting a new addition, so naturally, everyone was overjoyed.

Jia Yi is a bit older than Liu Yang, so Jia Yi and Coral went in to pay their respects at the altar first, followed by Liu Yang and Lin Lang.

The groom was equally tall and imposing, and the bride was also as beautiful and graceful as ever. Everyone couldn't help but compliment them.

Li Laotai laughed from ear to ear, and Liu Saozi was also beaming.

Mrs. Tang the elder and Mrs. Tang the eldest came to drink wedding wine, looking at it couldn't help but envy.

The remaining guests in the courtyard were so excited, their tongues trembled like lotuses, they couldn't help but share all the happy news in the world.

In fact, the Li family has never been overly ostentatious.

But this morning, as soon as we opened the doors, guests kept coming non-stop. Both familiar and unfamiliar faces arrived with gifts, nearly filling the courtyard to bursting.

As guests, the Li family certainly couldn't drive them away.

Remember the gift list, I'll return the favor when I have the chance. It's just reciprocity.

The female guests in the inner courtyard, seeing that both Mrs. Tang and Elder Madam Tang were present, felt they had come to the right place.

Of course, they were even more curious about the Queen of Fan Guo. After all, they had spent their whole lives without ever getting to sit on the throne.

Seeing Ai Bei following Li Laotai, neither proud nor humble, just like dutiful and polite daughters-in-law from other families, everyone was surprised yet felt a sense of kinship. Slowly, they came to accept her.

The bold ones would take the initiative to strike up a conversation. Sometimes Ai Bei wouldn't understand, so they'd communicate through gestures and sign language. Surprisingly, there was a kind of bizarre liveliness to it all.

The young ladies were familiar with Wen Yu and, just like they followed her, they also gathered around Ai Bei, asking about the customs and culture of foreign countries overseas. Their chirping voices created a lively and festive atmosphere.

And the Outer Courtyard, due to the arrival of General Tang and the generals of the Hai Lan Army, was almost thrown into chaos.

Men get together and drinking is inevitable.

The Li family's dishes were top-notch, and they went perfectly with the wine.

Just as Liu Yang and Jiayi entered the bridal chamber, lifted the bride's veil, and finished their wedding wine, they were dragged out to join the "battlefield".

Jia Xi, Jia An, and the cat, these three brothers, of course they have to protect their older brother.

It's not possible to let my brothers have their wedding night while being so drunk that they don't remember anything.

Thus, the brothers took to the field together, forming a united front against their enemies.rs. She couldn't find her brother, so she cried sadly.Jia Yin quickly put her and Xing Xing together, eating fruit and stroking the orange cat. In no time, the little girl giggled with laughter.The st...
