"What? Why didn't you tell me earlier!" Old Mrs. Li was anxious and said angrily: "This is a lifesaver! If I had known it earlier, I would have treated him well! Is his home close? , when will we get married?"
Li Laosi was not angry even after being scolded, and replied with a smile: "His home is a hundred miles away. We will get married in three days. We will leave after lunch. We should arrive at his home just in time."
"It's so urgent . ?" Mrs. Li immediately started to think about it, "There was originally a piece of bright red brocade at home, but I can't take it anymore. I'm afraid the woman has already sewn her wedding dress. It's better to prepare a few more pieces of good fabric and jewelry. I want to send a complete set..."
As she said this, she called Aunt He to find her granddaughter, because it was too late to go to the city to buy at this time.
Most of the rewards sent by the queen previously were distributed to the villagers, and some were kept at home. In the past few days, Wenjuan came over and cut the fine cotton cloth to make clothes and bedding for the children.
Now there are only a few pieces of precious Yun brocade in the warehouse, which are not suitable for ordinary people like the Wei family to wear.
There is still a lot of coarse cloth, so it can't be used as a gift.
Therefore, I can only ask the fat girl for help.
Jiayin is cooking porridge in the kitchen, shrimp porridge.
She thought that when her adoptive father came back from the city, he would be able to eat it, which was nutritious and delicious.
Suddenly she heard her grandma calling her, so Jiayin entered the house. As a result, grandma came up and gave her a hundred taels of silver. She was shocked and asked, "Grandma, why did you give me the money?"
"Of course it's with me. You buy something!" Old Mrs. Li pulled her granddaughter away, told the story angrily and distressedly, and finally scolded her son, "You are talking about your father, why did you just talk about such a big thing? If the Wei family hadn't held a wedding and needed a ceremony, He still wanted to keep it a secret.
"It's too late to buy things at home. I'll give you these one hundred taels. You quickly help grandma find some good materials in your box and a set of jewelry." "
Only then did Jiayin know what happened. How could she collect grandma's money? She pushed it back firmly, then ran to the backyard and quickly brought the things over.
Jiayin prepared four pieces of fine cotton, all in bright colors. There are Qixia, Qianfei, Liulu and Yinhong, which are very suitable for making dresses for newlyweds.
Finally, there is also a set of silver-headed jewelry, hairpins, bracelets, earrings, etc., all available.
This was sent by the queen last time Rewards, given to the new wife of the Wei family at this time, will add more luster to the marriage.
It's not that Jiayin is stingy and refuses to give the new wife of the Wei family gold or gem jewelry.
After all, in her heart, her father's life is worth all the treasures in the world.
But . The Wei family is an ordinary farmhouse, and Wei Erniu is not often at home. Gold and precious stones are too eye-catching and can easily attract people to covet them.
This set of silver jewelry is exquisite and unique, and the bride will definitely like it...
Mrs. Li, Tao Hongying and others are watching They were very satisfied.
Mrs. Li hugged her granddaughter and said with joy and emotion, "Grandma will come to the city in a few days. She will take you to the Xiuzhuang Silver Building to make up for you. It just so happens that the warehouse at home needs to add some things, so as not to be anxious when something happens.
"Grandma's lucky girl, she has really grown up and is so thoughtful in doing things. I'm afraid there is no brat in Tianwu who can be worthy of my granddaughter!"
Tao Hongying was afraid that her daughter would raise her tail proudly, so she quickly answered: " Mom, that was how many years later. It's too early to say this. Let's add some more things. We only give fabrics and jewelry, but it's still too thin."
"Okay, the fabrics are all fine cloth. Although they are affordable, they are not decent enough. , please add two more pieces of satin! In addition, I will give you fifty taels of silver for pressing the box!" Mrs. Li made up her mind.
Tao Hongying immediately went to make arrangements.
She took the satin from the family storehouse, but she insisted on using the money she earned from making private dishes.
Just thinking about how her husband was almost injured made her extremely grateful to Wei Erniu, and she even felt a little guilty towards Xiao Cuier, whom she had never met.
It was good luck that Wei Erniu saved Li Laosi and was safe.
If Wei Erniu was injured or died, Xiaocui's life would be over...
Mrs. Li understood her daughter-in-law's thoughts, so she didn't fight for it.
Not only that, Tao Hongying led her daughter into the kitchen and asked her for the first time to "support" more good dishes and ingredients. She planned to make a few tables of wine and food to thank her benefactors.
Jiayin felt the same way. She didn't even dare to think about what would happen to her family if something happened to her father.
As a result, all kinds of fresh vegetables, baskets of eggs, and previously stored seafood were moved out of the space, and even the rabbit family began to "reduce their burden" in large quantities.
Aunt He, Shui Ling, Shui Yun and Dong Mei all came to help, but they were still a bit stretched. Fortunately, Huiniang, Sister-in-law Liu, and several other women in the village came to visit because the Li family had so many more soldiers to eat, so they directly joined the army of cooks.
Wei Erniu and his brothers came down from the mountain. Everyone's teeth were sore, and then they found that the lunch was so rich, and their intestines turned green with regret.
Seeing their grimaces and gritted teeth, Mrs. Li couldn't help laughing, so she quickly went to the warehouse and brought out a bunch of wild walnuts.
This was harvested in the autumn of last year. Life at home was getting better, and the children didn't care about these little snacks, so they are still here today.
At this moment, Mrs. Li took a small hammer and stood next to the millstone, hammering one at a time to crack the wild walnuts. The soldiers grabbed them and picked out the walnut kernels to chew.
Mrs. Li smiled and ordered, "Chew slowly, chew carefully, don't rush, your teeth will soon be strong. Next time you see sour fruit, don't be greedy!"
The soldiers all blushed with laughter, and they all Scratching the back of their heads, each one looked more stupid than the other.
They had been away from home for many years and were no longer naughty boys. However, when they saw the fruit on the mountain just now, they still couldn't hold it back. They ate several in a row, and their teeth were full of problems...
When the last dish was brought to the table, The soldiers were also delighted to find that their teeth could feel their teeth, so they flocked to the table and prepared to feast.
At this time, Mr. Hou and Li Yong finally came back.
Everyone was so happy that they went out together.
The villagers also rushed over after hearing the news and greeted them warmly.
"The Marquis is back, the Marquis is back!"
"How long can the Marquis stay at home this time? You can take a good rest for a few months. You have worked hard on the battle!"
The Marquis smiled and nodded to the villagers, exchanged a few simple greetings, and then turned his head. When he was about to enter the yard, he found Jiayin hiding behind Mrs. Li, leaving only a white and fat little face.
He bent down and stretched out his hand, shouting, "What's wrong with Fu Niu'er? Don't you recognize your adoptive father?"
Jiayin hesitated for a moment, then ran over, took his adoptive father's hand, and shouted with a smile, " Foster father!"
Mr. Hou was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
Jiayin quickly reached out and covered her mouth, but everyone else could see clearly and couldn't help laughing.
Jiayin was shy and turned around to run away, but the Marquis picked her up and put her on his shoulder, "Don't be afraid, Fu Niu'er is a big child, and losing her teeth is a good thing!"
The Marquis comforted the fat girl, but his raised face remained. Can't suppress it.
The villagers chatted for a few words and then went back, but the village chief, Liu Biaotou, Huiniang, Aunt Wu and Sister-in-law Liu all stayed for dinner.
The other women who were helping refused to stay, so Tao Hongying brought a bowl of food to each of them.
After all, I delayed others from making lunch, so I went back to cook some porridge and heat up some steamed buns. This bowl of food was enough for the family.
Soon, everyone was seated in a lively manner.
Mr. Hou chatted with Old Mrs. Li for a while, then played the good news and followed Old Mrs. Li to the house for dinner.
The sun is setting in the west, and there is a large area of shade in front of the west wing, where three tables can be placed, which is the world of men.
The drinks prepared by the Li family were good, but no one really drank much today.
Li Yong was thinking about his wife and child, so he went to hold the child after eating and drinking.
Li Laosi and Wei Erniu were on their way to Wei's house soon, so they didn't dare to drink more.
Mr. Hou doesn't drink much on weekdays.
Only the village chief and Liu Biaotou, accompanied by Li Laoer, drank a few bowls.
Today is the court meeting. Li Laoer was surprised to see the Marquis in the court hall.
After the court meeting was over, he came back with us...
