Chapter 864： If you are willing to gamble, you must admit defeat

Chapter 864 If you are willing to gamble, you must admit defeat.

Aunt Wu grew up in the south and was good at smoking bacon. Occasionally when she was in good health, she would lay out a few pieces and hang them on the beams in the kitchen.

Everyone is a native of the north, so they are not used to the taste, but it is good to taste something new...

While talking and laughing like this, everyone entered the courtyard.

Wan'er, Wenjuan and Mrs. Wen all led the children out to welcome them.

Jiayi was originally the king of children, and soon he became familiar with the stars and the crescent moon.

Then, he put them on his shoulders, carrying one on his back, and ran all over the yard, occasionally jumping over the wall, making the two children scream and laugh.

After entering the house, the two children became Jiayi's little followers. They would follow Jiayi wherever he went...

As for Yuanyuan, she spit out bubbles of saliva and danced in protest while lying in her mother's arms.

But his uncle Jiayi didn't even dare to hug him, let alone take him to the sky and the earth.

Because a child of a few months old seems to have no bones, and it feels like it can be injured with just a little force...

Mrs. Li said it politely. In fact, before everyone went out, the kitchen started preparing lunch.

At this moment, the chicken, fish, meat and eggs are served on the table, fried and fried, and they are all delicious and delicious.

Jiayi likes to eat big meat, such as sauced backbone, grilled lamb chops, cumin mutton, etc., everything is available.

Jiayi is also not polite, and he eats to his heart's content.

Finally, he followed his brothers to the hot spring pool of the Marquis Mansion, washed himself thoroughly, put on the coat and trousers made by his grandma, then lay down on the big kang, and soon fell asleep snoring loudly.

Although Lao Huang helped with night watch in the cell, he still didn't dare to sleep well.

After all, it was someone else's territory, the jailer who was being polite to him. Maybe he was thinking about **** him...

Now that he is finally home, he no longer has to worry and can have a good sleep!

Some families are happy and some are sad. Some people are happy, while others are naturally depressed.

The middle-aged official from before was escorted to Jing Zhaoyin by the veterans.

Master Fu Yin fined the person some money as a token and let him go.

Jing Zhaoyin did not have the right to punish Beijing officials. The princess ordered the person to be sent, but she did not intend to do anything to the person, but just gave him a lesson.

This middle-aged official escaped, but felt humiliated.

After leaving Jingzhao Yin Yamen, we went straight to a courtyard in the south of the city.

After he left, the owner of the courtyard went straight to the Wang family...

In the study room of the Wang family, Mr. Wang frowned, put down his tea bowl, and blamed his eldest brother.

“I said at the beginning that this wouldn’t happen, but if you didn’t listen, you would definitely incite those people to submit a memorial!

“It’s okay now. The Li boy is fine, but he set our house on fire.”

Wang Zechen was also irritable, and retorted with a dark face: "I originally thought that when Li Laosi returned from the northern expedition, Li Jiayi would also come back to offer prisoners and ask for merit. If someone spread a few gossips, he could instigate the emperor to be afraid of the Li family.

“Who would have thought that Li Jiayi would be so bold as to kick Wu Yan to death!

“If Wu Yan were still Guojiuye, Li Jiayi would not be able to escape the punishment no matter what.

“But it happened that the Wu family was imprisoned by the emperor, and Wu Yan became a fugitive…”

"At that time, you should have stopped. Why are you still asking for a memorial?" Wang Laoer raised his hand and poured himself a cup of tea. He drank it in one gulp, but it still couldn't quench the anger in his heart.

Wang Zechen stood up and walked around the ground, saying: "I thought about taking advantage of the victory to pursue it, but I never thought that the emperor had such trust in the Li family that he actually gave the memorial to the Li family..."

As he spoke, he became impatient. He turned around and asked, "It's useless to talk about this now. Just tell me, is there any good way to shut up these families?"

Wang Laoer snorted coldly and said after a long silence: "Those people may not be able to keep their official positions, but it's because they themselves are dirty and let others take advantage of them.

"Let's work on our family, don't let them impose too heavy a sentence, and give some extra gold and silver as compensation, it should be enough." Wang Zechen's eyes twitched with distress, the third child has always been in charge of the family's general affairs.

Ever since Lao San went crazy, the industry's income has been getting worse year by year.

Now, if I want to take out a large sum of gold and silver, I'm afraid it will affect my family...

Thinking about the past, how did the Wang family end up in such a state of decline? !

As night fell, the heavy snow in the sky finally fell.

Add another layer of thick clothes to the mountain and forest village in winter.

A carriage followed by a hundred guards came out of the city. Horse hooves and wheels trampled the fluffy new snow all the way to the new village.

As soon as the people in the carriage got out of the carriage, a sharp-eyed boy immediately announced inside loudly.

“The Marquis is back, Mr. Wen is back!”

Just as Mrs. Li came out of the kitchen, she happily went out and greeted the two of them.

“Go home first, wash up, change into comfortable clothes, and then come over for dinner. Let’s eat dumplings tonight!”

The Marquis and Mr. Wen both saluted with smiles.

By the time they came back, a table had been set up in the main room.

The steaming dumplings look like fat little pigs, lying lazily on the plate, which is particularly tempting.

The Li family, young and old, are all here, including Dayong, Huiniang and Mrs. Wen holding Yue Yaer.

When Yue Ya'er saw her father, she reached out for a hug.

Mr. Wen quickly stepped forward, hugged his precious daughter, and said to Mrs. Wen, "I heard that you will come over this afternoon to help make dumplings?"

"Yes, I have nothing to do at home. Come and help me. My aunt specially prepared three fresh stuffing for you, as well as the pork and green onion stuffing that Mr. Marquis likes." Mrs. Wen rolled up her sleeves for her husband with a smile.

On the other side, Jiayin had already invited the Marquis to sit down, and said with a smile: "Father, I made all the dumplings with ruffles on the plate!"

Mr. Hou rubbed her hair and said, "Okay, my adoptive father will eat some more later."

Old Mrs. Li called everyone to take their seats, "Hurry up and sit down and eat the dumplings. It will get cold in a while. We are all family members. Do you want me, an old lady, to pass you chopsticks?!"

Everyone sat down with a smile. As usual, the men were in the main room, and the women and children were in the east room.

Of course, Jiayin is an exception. The seat between the Marquis and her father is her special seat.

The Li family's life today is like heaven and earth compared to before.

However, the young and old girls of the Li family are still used to doing some work. For example, dumplings for reunions like this must be made by themselves.

This afternoon, the maids and women took care of the children. The old lady took Tao Hongying, Zhao Yuru, Wan'er, Wenjuan, plus Mrs. Wen and Huiniang to do everything from chopping stuffing to making dumplings.

While talking and laughing, the delicious dumplings made have a happy taste.

Jiayin ate all kinds of dumplings with various fillings, and she had seven or eight of them. Her little face was filled with smiles.

For northerners, there is nothing that a meal of dumplings cannot solve.

If there is, then two meals!

Eating steaming dumplings with close family members in front of you is definitely the most heart-warming moment!

Old Mrs. Li's stomach was already eighty percent full when she saw her children and grandchildren eating delicious food.

She took the plate and kept adding dumplings to everyone, saying with a smile, "It's rare for our family to have all these together, it's more lively than during the Chinese New Year.

“It would be great if Brother Xi and Brother An were also at home..."
