Chapter 493: To Make an Exception for Family!

able to handle the work of three people on his own. He managed to keep up despite being busy.The villagers weren't in a hurry at first, but seeing the Li family getting to work, they all became busy a...Until late at night, the feast dispersed, and the Liu family helped send off the guests and tidied up the courtyard.

The newcomers could finally breathe a sigh of relief. They had changed into their loose pajamas, and the couple sat opposite each other, both blushing, not knowing what to say.

Mr. Wen still got up and from his luggage, took out a box and handed it to his wife. "Jinerou, take a look at this, a gift for you."

Cui Jinru was curious and excited, quickly opening the box and holding up a crown of jewels.

"Oh, how beautiful! I'll wear it tomorrow morning with a tunic!" She glanced at her husband and said, "Did you get this from Foonier"

“Oh, how did you know” Mr. Wen exclaimed in surprise, then smiled and said, “Of course, this little girl has the most pearls in the family. You see, when she gave them to me, she was so heartbroken that I had to comfort her. She insisted that I take them quickly or she’d regret it!”

"Hahaha!" Cui Jinyu laughed so hard, as radiant as spring flowers, "This little girl is a real money-grubber. Just wait until I find a nice set of jewelry to return to her..."

But before she could finish her sentence, she was enveloped in a warm and broad embrace.

Mr. Wen carefully held his wife, as if he had the whole world in his arms, cherishing her a thousandfold. "Jinerou, you're finally my wife!"

Cuijingru was stunned for a moment, and she hugged him tightly as well. "Yes, although we took many detours and wasted too many years, we are finally husband and wife. From now on, we will grow old together, loving each other without any doubt!"

The large red dragon and phoenix candles flared nearby, "pop" – a burst of sparks, illuminating the gentle night. The curtain was drawn, entirely…

It had been two days in a flash, and on this morning, the Liu family received the newlyweds' visit. Naturally, they were overjoyed and prepared a banquet.

Seeing that her niece's face was flushed and her eyes were smiling, Elder Liu was even more satisfied with her son-in-law. She instructed, "When you have time, go to the new village and ask Dr. Zhang to take a look. Get your body in order and try to have a child."

But if it doesn't work out, don't worry. You can always choose two children to adopt later on. As long as you raise them well, they'll be able to support the Cui family just fine!

"Even if you don't want to adopt, there are Zhimin and Xiujie. Jiaren is not bad either... When you get old, they will all be filial to you!"

Mr. Wen and his wife both stood up to greet him, thanking the old man for his long-term plans for them.

After lunch, the two bade farewell and boarded a carriage, heading straight for Xincun.

The village head and Zhao Shu were standing by the roadside at the village entrance, chatting idly with their hands in their pockets.

The watermelon field before my eyes is lush and abundant, growing exceptionally well. I imagine that by late summer, it will be a garden full of "silver melons".

In fact, Zhao Shu and his companions lived together with the Li family on a daily basis. They never worried about food and drink, and their clothes, shoes, and socks were delivered punctually every season.

They are truly useless, but who would refuse silver that bites your hand!

Especially the Li family, with so many children, they need money for education and marriage. The more silver they have, the better.

They are not very capable, helping out with more chores and contributing to the family can make them feel more at ease.

Seeing the Cui family's carriage coming, the old men were even more delighted and waved enthusiastically to greet them.

Mr. Wen jumped out of the carriage and bowed to the old masters. For their wedding, the old masters had also spared no effort in making arrangements.

The old men chuckled and told him not to be so polite, to hurry back to the village. They said there would definitely be a feast at his house tonight, and things would be getting lively soon…

As expected, two more tables were set up in the Li family courtyard at night.

Although the Lord, Li Lao Si, and Li Yong were not there, it was still lively, almost turned upside down.

Mr. Wen, half-drunk and in a difficult situation, was only saved by Li Lao Tai's words, who managed to get him out and sent him back to the Cui family courtyard.

Mr. Wen took a ten-day leave and was not in a hurry to return to the city, so the couple stayed in the village.

At this time of year, the orchards are in full bloom.

In the hot spring valley, there were so many people that it was overcrowded. Many flower lovers couldn't get in, so they stayed at the big locust tree, King's Manor or Little King's Manor, and wandered around at the foot of the mountain during the day.

Someone wanted to go up the mountain for silver, sit under a flowering tree and drink wine while composing poetry. But unfortunately, the people of Xincun disagreed.

The orchard is the second treasure trove of Suijintan. Not only are there many people, which can easily lead to chaos, but there are also those with dishonest hands and feet who may break flower branches. During autumn, they would harvest fewer fruits as a result!

But on this day, the rule was broken.

Because the Lord and Li Lao Si personally welcomed a group of seven or eight people up the mountain.

The villagers on patrol, though unaware of the identities of those men, knew they were brought back by the Marquis, meaning they were their own people!

If people want to go up the mountain to see their own fruit trees and admire the flowers, of course it's no problem.

Li Lao Si personally went back home. Seeing Tao Hongying hadn't gone to the tavern, he let out a sigh of relief and then said: "The Marquis brought a distinguished guest to enjoy the flowers on the mountain. I'll take some tea and refreshments there first. At noon, you should prepare a few new dishes. The dining table should be set up in the grass pavilion in the orchard."

"Sounds good," Tao Hongying didn't think too much about it. Cooking was her forte, so she smiled and said, "Just in time, my second brother bought a lot of snacks yesterday. Let me arrange a platter."

Having said that, she went to find the snack box and turned back to ask, "Sir or madam You should go ask your girl for a few more fruits. We've just finished eating everything at home. Since you are our distinguished guest, we should treat you well."

"Okay." Lao Si didn't dare say much, mumbled a response and then walked around to the back yard.

Jia Yin was sitting at the table applying rouge, while Li Lao Tai sat beside her doing needlework. When Li Lao Si entered, he said, "Daughter, get some fruit for your father to entertain guests. The Marquis brought guests to enjoy the flowers on the mountain!"

"Oh, my stepfather's back!" Jia Yin was delighted and quickly jumped down.

Mr. Wen's wedding day was crowded and chaotic, she didn't even have time to say goodbye to her stepfather, the next morning her stepfather left.

Today, she saw her godfather was free and relaxed, so she smiled sweetly at her grandmother and pleaded, "Grandma, the flowers on the mountain have bloomed. Can we go take a look"

Grandma Li glanced at the large characters her granddaughter had written, which were fairly neat and orderly. "Go with your father," she said. "But your stepfather is entertaining guests, so don't cause any trouble."

"Grandma, don't worry, Funiu is the best!" Jiayin hugged the old woman and kissed her cheek, then ran to the next room and took out two small woven baskets from the space.

One basket was filled with bright red apples, and another with golden pears. They were all clean and dripping with water, looking extra fresh!

Shuilin and Shuicun happened to come in from outside, so they helped carry things. They went to the front yard and set up the teapot and teacups.

Li Laosi picked up his daughter and carried her on his shoulder. Shui Ling Shuidun held some things and followed behind them as they went up the mountain.

Halfway through, they met Li Laoer and Mr. Wen returning from the Hot Springs Valley. Li Laoer was also curious and asked, "I heard the Marquis brought guests back I wonder who this distinguished guest is"

Li Laosi wouldn't say it directly, so he just laughed and said, "You'll know when you see for yourselves."

Then, a group of six people, big and small, followed the path up the mountain. They faintly saw several people in the grass pavilion halfway up the mountain, so everyone quickened their pace.

Shui Ling was a lively girl. She carried a basket in her hand and walked beside him. When she saw a rabbit run past, she exclaimed in surprise, bent down to pick up a stone and threw it!

Upon hearing the noise, everyone looked around. They didn't see the rabbit, but they saw the stone that Shui Ling had thrown being knocked back.

Shuilin's movements were agile, she nimbly sidestepped, and the stone whizzed past her.

And walking behind her was Li Lao Si, still carrying Jia Yin on his shoulder...both the undergarments and the outer garment. 。Besides these, there is also a box of pearls, a set of four treasures of the study, and two boxes of snacks. 。Food, clothing, housing, and transportati...
