The flowering period works

Chapter 993: An Unexpected Friend

    

i grabbed her hand and said, “The village head arranged it for a reason. No one's grain comes from the wind.” 。If you pay back what you borrow, it will be easier to borrow again. 。" That's right," t...The new capital seemed peaceful, but the outcome of the northern campaign was uncertain, and there would definitely be major changes.

As an elder brother, how could Li Zhensheng possibly choose to hide in Quanzhou seeking peace during such a time

For the past few months, he has been preparing for the ultimate escape route for his entire family.

And because this retreat was at sea, it consumed a great deal of his energy...

Now that his nephews have returned, he finally has help and can breathe a sigh of relief.

I just hope this backup plan will never have to be used...

With the Jinfo Kingdom fleet's departure, the remaining envoys also took back large amounts of goods and information about Tianwu's strength and prosperity, hurrying back to their own countries.

The pier in Quanzhou was unusually quiet, and many people were still getting used to it.

But soon, the news that Li Jia'an was to be betrothed to Tang's eldest granddaughter spread like wildfire and became a hot topic in every street and alley.

Li Jia'an was previously known to the people of Quanzhou because he brought back a delegation.

But compared to Li Jiaxi who married the Queen, he is much too low-key.

After a trip to Xin Du, I returned with a surge of energy and success.

At such a young age, he not only became the second-in-command of the Foreign Affairs Department, but also had to become the son-in-law of the Tang family.

Some people were envious and wanted to see what Li Jia'an was like, so they looked for an opportunity. After returning, they didn't say a word.

It has to be said, the Li family is truly blessed. Although they are farmers by origin, their children are all exceptionally good-looking.

Li Jia'an wasn't a stunningly handsome man, but he was tall with an erect posture and good-looking features. His eyes were especially clear and honest. Coupled with the constant smile on his lips, he made people feel like they were bathed in spring sunshine.

No one can really speak ill of him when they're face to face with him.

Of course, there are still some oddballs. After all, being the son-in-law of the Tang family is too attractive a title. Many young men from prominent families in Quanzhou have been eyeing it for a long time. They certainly wouldn't be willing to give it up after suddenly having their "peach" plucked away.

Finally, Li Jia'an was the biological brother of Kang Le County Lord, this fact became the best attack point.

What a useless and incompetent Li Jia'an! It is because Kang Le County Princess relied on the Emperor's favor that she managed to get this position in the Foreign Affairs Bureau for her own brother.

What a despicable Li Jia'an! Taking advantage of the good relationship between the two families, he first seduced Miss Tang, and then forced the Tang family into an engagement.

In a nutshell, the rumors grew wilder and wilder, to the point where they were becoming increasingly chaotic.

When the Li family learned of this, they were all furious.

But before they could react, Old Lady Tang made her move.

This old woman is a tiger daughter of a military family, with a fiery temper, direct methods, and effective results.

She personally led the palace guards, capturing several wealthy young masters who first spread rumors. They were bound in the commercial street and stripped down to their underwear.

Then, she took a whip and beat them until they screamed in agony.

The whole city of Quanzhou was eager to see the excitement, it was even more popular than when the envoys from eight countries arrived!

"I gave you mouths, and all you do is spew nonsense! Our Tang family's daughter and son-in-law are also within your reach to slander"

Mrs. Tang had her white hair combed into a bun, dressed in a bright red gown, her phoenix eyes wide open, and she brandished a golden whip in her hand, she was simply amazing!

Several young men blushed and stammered, wishing they could find a hole to crawl into.

By this time, it was too late for them to regret anything. They could only hope that their elders would come quickly to their rescue.

It's a pity, they were clearly going to be disappointed.

Their grandfather or great-grandfather came, but he stood beside Old Madam Tang with a smile, not daring to stop him at all.

Not only were several young men stunned, but even the onlookers expressed their amazement.

However, an elderly person spoke softly to the crowd, explaining things.

"You don't know, when Madam Tang was young, she was dressed in red and white, graceful and valiant. She was also a female hero who had killed pirates! Almost every son in Quanzhou City admired her and wanted to marry her home. "

Only in the end, was General Tang able to embrace his beloved. Who knows how many people cried drunk with joy

"These people right here, they were all admirers back then. Now that their descendants have angered Old Madam Tang, they dare not come to their rescue."

Perhaps I'll have to beat these kids up again after I get home!

Now, everyone finally understood. The gossipy fire in their eyes burned even brighter…

Mrs. Tang, being old after all, grew tired after a while of smoking.

Lady Tang was clever. She sent someone to invite Old Madam Li from the Li family early on. This was a perfect opportunity, as it allowed her to "step down" by inviting her mother-in-law.

Then, the soldiers pushed aside the crowd and Li Lao Tai, supported by Tao Hongying's arm, walked in.

“Old lady, why are you so angry” Li Laotai teased. “You’re already old, your face is full of wrinkles like ditches in the field, and you're still this angry You look even older than me!”

As expected, Madam Tang threw down the whip in her hand and shouted, “It's these little brats who think our Tang family is easy to bully! They dare to fabricate such filthy rumors! If we don't teach them a lesson, our Tang family will be treated like dough, kneaded at will.”

Li Laotai advised, "They're just some children, talking nonsense. There's no need to take it to heart. Besides, they scolded my grandson too, but so what Let them scold."

"My Angu'er goes out on official business every day just the same, gets betrothed just the same, and awaits to marry your precious granddaughter!"

"Give these kids a lesson so they'll remember. Don't waste our time on them, we should be above this!"

Old Madam Tang was coaxed into a smile and turned back to glare at the several young boys.

Several young boys were beaten, with bloody wounds all over their bodies. Though not seriously injured, it was painful and a real shame for them to have been humiliated like this.

She felt a little less angry now, and said, "Well, this time I'll let them go."

Having said that, she turned her head to look at the elders of those boys and the people around her, and said loudly, "Our Tang family and Li family are related by marriage because I have my eye on Li's son! My precious granddaughter, I wouldn't trust her to any other family. Only sending her to this blessed Li family would make me happy."

"This marriage was hard-won! If I hear anyone say another bad word about it, don't blame me for breaking down your door! Anyone who doesn't believe me, just try it!"

Everyone shrank their necks and chuckled nervously, afraid to speak.

Li Laotai was delighted that she was defending her grandson and pulled her outside.

"You've got quite a temper, so straightforward and fiery. If my granddaughter were here, I bet you two would be instant friends! She's the same way, can't stand being wronged, if someone wrongs her, she wants revenge right away!"

"Really Then I must meet your precious granddaughter someday!" Old Mrs. Tang held onto Old Mrs. Li's arm, the two chatting and laughing as they got into the carriage. Tao Hongying and Mrs. Tang followed behind, the four women heading to Baiyun Hall for freshly baked pastries.

Leaving everyone with nothing to see, the crowd quickly dispersed.

Several injured boys haphazardly put on their clothes and were dragged home by their elders, who scolded them all the way.

Here in Xindu, the weather has been getting hotter each day as we enter summer.

Jiayin came out of the palace, intending to go back to the Earl's Mansion for a visit.

But halfway there, she remembered that she hadn't visited the Hou Mansion in a long time, so she turned and went there instead.

The head steward was busy with something, and Jia Yin entered Hou's mansion but didn't see him.

Jia Yin was very puzzled, so she asked the manager and found out that the granary was in the back yard.

The steward's brows were furrowed so tightly they could crush a fly. Upon seeing Jia Yin, he looked like a lost child reunited with their parent, and even more wronged.

Today, two chapters are uploaded.en hotter.If today's matters succeed, perhaps Baiyun will change her surname to something else in the future.This great hero of hers, if she were to get a one or two percent bonus... wouldn't that be...
