tuous Loyal to the court, aiding the relief agency, and providing high-yield crops... I suspect it's all just a facade! ""Documents written in black and white, are you even going to honor them This en...Li Lao Si sent Mr. Wen back to the city and then went to Hou's Mansion to find the chief steward, retrieving the county lord's ceremonial robes and everyday clothes.
These are all sewn by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and also a fixed reward for those with titles from Emperor Tianwu.
Spring, summer, autumn and winter, every season has two sets.
Prior to this, the Li family hadn't produced an imperial decree. These rewards were all obtained by the steward from the Household Department.
Now that it's finally useful, the head steward is over the moon.
It's not just about the dress and everyday clothes, she also paired them with shoes and accessories to make sure Miss Hou's debut was stunning.
When Li Laosi went out, he happened to meet the Marquis returning home.
Li Lao Si just said a few simple words, and the Lord didn't mind.
Compared to the Hou Mansion, Mr. Peng is merely a teacher at a school and is not worthy of the Lord Hou's excessive attention.
Besides, the Li family is a good family. The Marquis doesn't think the Peng family will refuse. "Will I need to go with my aunt to the Peng family tomorrow"
“No, no!” Li Laosi quickly waved his hand, refusing the Houye's kindness. “My mother said that she and Fu Niuer are enough, and the main thing is to see how beautiful Peng girl is. If we really want to get married, let's talk about it later.”
The lord nodded and asked the steward again, "Were all of the old lady's garments and ornaments packed together"
"Rest assured, my lord. These things are always kept in stock at the estate. The mistress's gown was just finished by the needlework room a few days ago. I had planned to bring it when you returned from the manor, but I didn't expect it would be needed today."
The steward smiled and responded, and then the lord released Li Laosi.
At dusk, Jiarren, holding Li's hand, rushed back from the academy. Seeing his grandmother, sister and uncle there, he was delighted. "Grandma, I haven't even reached my birthday yet, why did you come all this way The road must have been bumpy!"
Jiarren hugged his younger sister and gave her a big kiss, which made Jiayin laugh gleefully.
Little Brother Li hugged Grandma's arm, he wasn't close enough.
Soon, the students who came to eat were sent off. The family closed the courtyard door and ate dinner in silence.
Jia Ren heard from Li Ge'er that grandma had arrived, so he asked for leave. Tonight, the brothers could stay at home.
Everyone gathered around, Jia Yin gave her brother a present for his birthday, it was a box containing one hundred gold-colored paper notes, very delicate.
This is the most popular and beloved type of paper among people in the human world. Each sheet is slightly larger than an adult's palm and used for writing posts or simple messages.
Jiarren usually wouldn't use these things, but he didn't expect his little rich sister to give him so many.
Both Li Laotai and Li Laosì sent silver for Jia Ren to use as pocket money, letting him buy whatever he wanted.
Zhao Yuru sewed a new shirt for Jiarren, Li Lao San made a small bookshelf for his nephew to put on his desk, and Jiahuan cooked a table full of dishes as a gesture of kindness.
Brother Li also joined in the fun and sent Big Brother a new calligraphy brush.
Everyone was eating and laughing, in high spirits. Only Jia Huan forced a smile, looking rather odd.
Jiarren discovered that after dinner, when accompanying his grandmother in conversation, he would ask a few questions.
Hearing that so many things happened today, Jiarren was also surprised. In the end, he said: "Grandma, there are many academies in the world, and Li Ge'er and I can go to any academy to study. Don't worry about us and let you and Jiahuan suffer."
Li Lao Tai was incredibly pleased and said with a smile, “Rest assured, grandma has it all figured out. You just focus on your studies, don't worry about anything at home.”
It's said that way, but how can Jia Ren not worry.
Instead, Li Ge'er and Jia Yin were having a great time playing. Li Ge'er took out a small wooden sword and showed off to his sister constantly.
It turns out they started learning swordsmanship too, but they could only use wooden swords for fear of hurting each other.
Li Lao San stayed up late to carve a lifelike and lightweight dagger for his nephew.
Li Ge'er was very fond of, not close to people, even touching him he was reluctant.
The next morning, after breakfast, Jia Ren and Li Ge'er hurried back to the academy.
Gou Sheng'er stayed in the dormitory last night and waited for them at the door with a book in his arms. When they arrived, he rushed to class with them.
The old woman and Jiayin waited until the sun was high in the sky before changing their clothes. Accompanied by Li Lao San and Li Lao Si, they arrived at the entrance of the academy.
Finally, Jia Huan noticed something was amiss. He tugged on his mother's sleeve and remained silent for a long time.
Zhao Yuru glared at her son and spanked him!
Li Laosan dressed himself up as a wealthy and powerful merchant, wearing a long robe and a hat signifying his status.
Li Laosi was dressed in short garments, with long boots, and a long sword hanging from his waist. At first glance, he looked like a military general.
Li Laotai wore a lapis blue, six-blessing flower patterned blouse, a honey-colored cotton linen skirt. Her slightly gray hair was styled in a bun, with a white jade Fu Shou flat square ornament pinned in it.
The whole person was full of wealth and kindness, making people feel close to him at first sight.
Jia Yin didn't wear a princess gown, she only wore ordinary clothes.
The top was a light red blouse embroidered with delicate yellow flower buds all over. It was paired with a pleated skirt in snowy satin with cloud patterns, and she wore a golden lock shaped like auspicious clouds around her neck.
Her hair was styled into two small buns, adorned with two gold-winged butterflies. As she moved, the butterfly wings fluttered, as if about to take flight at any moment.
A family of four, looking like this, standing in front of the academy gate, who would dare to be disrespectful
Soon, the head steward of the Peng family welcomed them and led the Li family into the study.
The chief steward bowed all the way, his expression full of humility.
Yesterday I heard that the Li family had a county princess with an estate, so Mr. Peng gave instructions about it.
Actually, even if the master didn't instruct him, he would never slack off!
The Second Madam had been successfully brought down, he had endured for two years and finally turned things around, but all thanks to the Li family's intervention this time, he was too grateful for words!
Upon entering the Peng family courtyard, Mr. Peng was already waiting at the gate.
He first came forward to pay his respects to Lady Li, and then wanted to bow deeply to Jia Yin. However, the old lady stopped him, “Sir, you don’t have to be so formal. Even if the Emperor were to bestow upon you a title, Fu Niuer is still a child, and in your presence she is a junior.”
Jia Yin also performed her greetings with utmost propriety, addressing him respectfully as "Master" in a sweet and tender voice. It was quite endearing.
Scholars value a good appearance. Yesterday, there was a big commotion at his home, and Mr. Peng felt ashamed of himself. Now facing the Li family, he feels a bit uneasy in his heart.
But seeing the Li family so polite, his discomfort immediately vanished.
Everyone entered the study, took their seats, and after drinking half a cup of tea, Old Mrs. Li apologized on behalf of her granddaughter, Jia Huan.
No matter if the Peng family is right or wrong, it's improper for Jia Huan to move around privately with someone else's daughter.
Mr. Peng also didn't let go, after all, he didn't understand the meaning of "being out of line." This was even more serious when it came to his daughter.
Jia Yin, feeling anxious, looked at her future sister-in-law and said she needed to change clothes.
"Lao Tai Li gave Peng Mr. a helpless look and said, 'This child drank quite a bit of water early this morning, I'm afraid it will be troublesome for your servants.' "
"The old madam is too kind. The young princess is still young, this is only right."
Mr. Peng knew very well that the Li family wanted to see their daughter, so he called a servant boy to lead the two generations to the backyard.
In the backyard, Miss Peng had been nervous all morning. She hadn't even eaten breakfast upon hearing that Old Mrs. Li was coming over.
Finally, I saw someone, but they spoke rather haltingly.
Jia Yin ran over and tugged at Peng Niang's hand, saying with a smile: "Sister Peng, I'm Fu Niu'er! You are so beautiful, and you are also very tall!"
Miss Peng unconsciously replied, "You're so cute too, just like your brother said!"
Only after she finished speaking did she realize what she had said, her face flushing red.
The old woman also looked at him for a long time, and was very satisfied in her heart.
This young lady was taller than the average girl, with a slender build.
Perhaps because she hadn't eaten well before, her complexion wasn't as rosy, but her big eyes and willow brows gave her a dignified air.
Afterward, as long as you make up well, you will definitely be much prettier than today.that at least she has a sister-in-law to keep her company. No need to run back and forth between the city and the village.Wan'er smiled with delight and waved to the people on the boat, "Grandma, Aunt...
