Chapter 396 It’s not too late to act now!
Huiniang wanted to say that she didn’t want a house or a yard, as long as he was safe and sound, but as soon as she started talking, she couldn’t help hugging her husband and burst into tears.
Mrs. Li and others saw this with mixed feelings.
I still remember that when Li Yong was still Young Master Yan, he stood in front of the deserted valley, dancing excitedly and shouting that he wanted to build this place into a fairyland on earth.
So high-spirited and free and easy.
Now that he has become a responsible husband and father, it should be a good thing, but why are they so sour in their hearts?
Everyone will have pains when they grow up.
Some people finish it in an instant, while others have to break the bones and muscles step by step and then reassemble them.
Evidently Li Yong belongs to the latter!
He suppressed the suppression and distrust at home for more than ten years, and it finally broke out when the marriage was blocked. He watched his wife being given abortion pills, and his wife and children almost died.
He finally despaired of his family, abandoned everything, and established separate families, which can be said to be a betrayal of all relatives.
Now in order to support his family and give his wife and children a roof over their heads, he abandoned his dreams and hobbies, began to fight on the battlefield, and began to work hard to make money.
Perhaps, the method is a little clumsy and the cost is high, but there is no doubt that he has grown from a **** to a qualified pillar, a real man who stands upright.
Happily congratulatory, but also really distressing!
Mrs. Li waved her hand, took Mr. Li and the village chief out of the room, and asked the young couple to talk...
The more the merrier!
More people mean more food, but work is also really fast.
Another five or six days passed, and when Li Yong's flesh and skin injuries were mostly healed and he could take a leisurely stroll, the path under the archway had been repaired, leaving only the stone bridge that still needed a lot of work.
But most of the manpower has already moved to Dahuaishu Village.
After all, building a bridge is a technical job and does not require so many people. Waiting aside is a waste of manpower and delays in progress.
The invitation from the Liu family has been sent to the Li family, and a banquet is scheduled for tomorrow.
Mrs. Cui was worried that the Li family’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would wear the wrong clothes and be laughed at when attending such an occasion for the first time, so she came over in a carriage one day in advance.
Actually, how could anything go wrong when Grandma He was around?
It's rare that Tao Hongying didn't go to the restaurant to help out today. At this moment, people of all ages gathered in the old lady's house, choosing clothes and jewelry.
Because it is a happy event and Mrs. Li has a royal decree, she chooses more luxurious clothes and jewelry.
And good news is even easier. Counting everyone in the family, she has the most new dresses and jewelry. She can choose with her eyes closed, and she doesn’t have to worry about being inferior to others.
Only Tao Hongying is used to being thrifty and always busy in the kitchen, so she doesn't have any suitable gorgeous clothes.
Fortunately, Mrs. Cui thought of this and brought two sets of her new clothes.
The two of them are not much different in age and have similar body shapes. It would be suitable to choose one set and try it on.
Jiayin felt extremely guilty as she watched her mother pull the brocade skirt carefully.
On weekdays, she not only ignored her mother's career ambitions, but also ignored that her mother was also a woman who loved beauty. From now on, she would definitely buy more new clothes, shoes, and jewelry for her mother.
In short, she wants to dress her mother up as the most beautiful mother in the world!
Of course, action is worse than thinking. It’s never too late to start anything! So, while everyone was chatting, they saw the sound of good news dragging a small box from the end of the kang.
Without waiting for them to ask a few words, Jiayin opened the box cover, and the golden light was dazzling.
It turns out that the box is full of gold bracelets, jade bracelets, gold hairpins, gem pendants, big pearls... It can be said that they have everything, and each one is extraordinary.
You must know that most of these things are accumulated by the Marquis Mansion and obtained from the palace. Even if the materials are mediocre, the craftsmanship of the internal craftsmen is extremely rare.
Not to mention that Huiniang and Shuiyun Shuiyue were straight-eyed, even Mrs. Cui and Aunt He, who had seen the world, were a little surprised.
Jiayin tried her best to push it to her grandma's hand, "Mom, choose something good-looking, wear it and drink!"
Tao Hongying subconsciously raised her hand and quickly closed the box, "You saved this yourself. What did you do with it? Put it away quickly?!"
“Yes, I will save it for my dowry in the future. These are all good things that the Marquis has saved for you!” Mrs. Li also nodded quickly to coax her granddaughter.
When Jiayin saw the posture of her grandma and her mother, she couldn't do it without making a big move, so she started crying with red eyes, "No, other people's mothers are beautiful, and my mother must be beautiful too!"
Sure enough, Mrs. Li and Tao Hongying immediately panicked. They surrounded the two fat girls and wanted to tear their hearts out as long as she stopped crying immediately.
Mrs. Cui, Hui Niang and others looked at it funny and quickly advised her, "Just listen to Fu Niu'er. The little girl also knows how to be good. She doesn't want others to say that her mother is not beautiful."
Old Mrs. Li sighed, still reluctant to part with it, but when she saw her daughter-in-law's bare bun with only a silver hairpin inserted, she immediately changed her tune, "Hongying, just choose a few, don't feel bad!
“Whichever is better, choose whichever one is better! Don’t you know that your daughter is so obsessed with money that she may hide the best ones and bring out the second-rate ones.”
These words were so heartbreaking that I forgot to even sob at the good news and froze in embarrassment.
Grandma has been getting better and better at cleaning her up lately!
Although this is true, she did hide diamonds and gems, but this box is also full of good things!
Red gold twisted flower bracelets, gold-inlaid jade hairpins, large pearl strings, emerald jade pendants... they were all her favorites, and she would not be willing to take them out if it wasn't for her mother!
Seeing her daughter's guilty look, Tao Hongying couldn't help but smile, "Okay, then I'll choose a few more pieces, so I can't let down my daughter's filial piety!"
Finally, she chose a silver hairpin with a red magnolia flower head, a pair of glossy open red gold bracelets, and a long chain of bluestone pearls.
These are jewelry that don’t look eye-catching, but look noble.
The good news bothered the old lady, so she also chose a gold hosta inlaid with bluestone with the word "longevity", which made the old lady smile.
She also showed off her wealth once or so. It is rare to be generous with good news, so a good person will stick to it. She chose a gold and jade-topped plum blossom hairpin for Mrs. Cui, and a pair of emerald gourd earrings for Hui Niang.
Of course they refused, but in the end they were persuaded by Mrs. Li to accept it.
One of them is the aunt who loves good news as a daughter, and the other is the master who teaches good news about female beauty and enlightenment. A little thank you should be given when receiving good news.
After breakfast the next day, the Li family's carriage pulled Li Laoer and Li Zhensheng, and the Cui family's carriage pulled Mrs. Cui, Mrs. Li, Tao Hongying and Jiayin, plus Aunt He and Dongmei, and they set off together to Liuzhou. Home.
Li Laosi couldn't come back from the dock, so Huiniang and Li Yong were left to take care of the house.
The Liu family was originally a wealthy family with a century-old foundation. Now, because Liu Zhiheng was awarded a fourth-rank official by the emperor, he held a banquet, so the house was naturally filled with guests.
The sun has just risen, and the road in front of Liu's house is about to be blocked by carriages and horses...
Hey, it’s the end of the month, please support the little lucky girl, hugging her legs and acting cute, please give her a thumbs up (five stars or a thumbs up) and a must-read vote! Huahua is working **** coding, and I’ll see if I can add more to the treasures tomorrow!
