Chapter 914: The joyful event that everyone expected
“Oh, it’s settled like this. I’m so anxious!” General Tang was the first to speak and shouted directly, “If we linger any longer, the food and wine will be cold!”
Everyone laughed and encouraged him one after another.
“Yes, Doctor Sun, you should quickly accept such a good daughter-in-law and son-in-law.”
“Doctor Sun, you were lonely in the first half of your life, and you should enjoy your happiness in the second half of your life.”
“Yes, let the children get up quickly.”
Doctor Sun wiped away his tears, took out a cloth bag from his arms, and opened it layer by layer on the left and right, finally revealing two jade tablets.
The quality of the jade is not extraordinary, and the carving is average, but it can be seen that Dr. Sun values it very much.
He choked up and said, "I bought this when my first wife and I got married. I originally wanted to pass it on to my children, but I didn't know that I didn't have children, and even my first wife passed away early.
“God opened his eyes and granted me a daughter and a son-in-law at this age. I am so happy.
"This pair of jade tokens is not a good thing, but it is my whole heart. If you don't dislike it, just accept it. It can be considered as a meeting gift from my useless adoptive father to you."
Jiayi immediately took it and divided a piece of coral between them, and then the two of them kowtowed together.
“Okay, okay! The happy event is done!”
“Girl Coral will have a natal family in the future, so congratulations!”
“Yes, I must drink a few more drinks today!”
Everyone congratulated him enthusiastically, and then the banquet was served.
I heard that Tao Hongying, Zhao Yuru and others personally prepared all the dishes. General Tang and others were surprised, and they admired the Li family even more.
The elders are sensible and the younger generation are filial. How can we live a bad life like this?
There are still three rooms in the main room, and there are three tables for banquets.
The old and young men were in the main room, and in the east room were Mrs. Li, Tao Hongying, Mrs. Wen, Sister-in-law Liu, Huiniang, etc., accompanying female guests such as Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Yue.
In the west room, Zhao Yuru and Wenjuan accompanied Miss Huanhuan, Miss Linlang and Wenyu. There was a small square table at the end of the kang, and Xiaodong and other maids took care of the children while they ate.
The servants from the Tang family and the Yue family who came with them were also sent to the side room to have a bite of hot food to pacify their bellies.
For a time, there was a lot of excitement inside and outside the house.
Although Dr. Sun has just "taken office", Hualu can still be considered as having a natal family.
Li Zhensheng simply discussed with the Yue family and Doctor Sun about the marriage of the children.
Liu Biaotou was at Suijintan and did not come over.
Mrs. Li had made an agreement with Sister-in-law Liu a long time ago. Since Jiayi and Liu Yang were getting married together, they would bring both brides into the Li family yard.
After that, the two young couples can move out at any time.
Sister-in-law Liu is of course happy.
She and Liu Biaotou are ordinary people, and they think they are unable to bring glory to their son's face.
Now that the Li family is willing to support Liu Yang, it is really a great thing!
Yue Yuanwai also had a smile on his face. The Li family has golden legs.
Li Zhensheng took the initiative to invite him, so he naturally wanted to hug him quickly.
General Tang also wanted to get his two young generals married and have children as soon as possible.
Only by taking root in Quanzhou can the Hailan Army really keep them!
The sedan chair was carried by everyone!
Just like that, amid everyone's laughter and laughter, the engagement date was set on February 18th, and the wedding day was set on March 26th.
Looking at it, it’s a bit rushed.
But the coral lives temporarily outside, so it’s not good to delay it for too long.
Old Mrs. Li also hopes that after this important matter is settled, she may be able to return to the new capital sooner.
She misses her old house in Suijintan, her sons and grandsons, the trivial things in and outside the village, and even more, her precious granddaughter!
It was fine when it was noisy during the day, but when it was quiet at night, she missed her granddaughter.
This girl has almost grown up on the tip of her heart and has never left her eyes.
Now that we are thousands of miles apart, I don’t know if anyone has bullied my granddaughter.
She wanted to fry her in a pan ten thousand times every night... When the sun turned west, the guests left one after another.
The Tang family and the Yue family went out first. Xu also knew that the family wanted to marry the Li family, so Yuwen took the initiative to make an appointment with Huanhu and Linlang to go shopping in a few days.
Coral and Linlang also responded happily.
After all, the three of them may become sisters-in-law in the future...
The last person to leave was Dr. Sun. He was so happy that he drank two more drinks and was a little drunk.
The Li family hooked up a carriage, and Jiayi took Doctor Sun back to the military camp.
Color originally planned to clean up a room in the small courtyard for her adoptive father and support him to rest for a few days.
But Doctor Sun did not want to cause trouble to his child and insisted on returning to the military camp.
Jiayi and Coral didn't insist, as long as the old man is happy...
The Li family is busy shopping and preparing to hire people.
Soon, everyone in Quanzhou knew about it.
There is nothing to say about Liu Yang marrying a girl from the Yue family.
The Liu family is not from a high background, but Liu Yang is promising, and it can be considered mutually beneficial to cooperate with the Yue family, a local businessman, and each can get what he needs.
But it was shocking that Li Jiayi married an orphan girl.
Not to mention Li Jiayi's natural supernatural power and outstanding military exploits, how highly regarded he was in Hailan's army.
Let’s just say that the Li family is a new member of the Tianwu family!
Li Jiayi is the second son of the Earl's Mansion!
Seriously speaking, the only people in Quanzhou who are worthy of him are the daughters of the Tang family.
Even the governor’s daughter is a bit inferior!
Previously, rumors spread about Li Jiayi and the orphan girl of the Hong family, and everyone took it as a joke.
Even if the Hong family daughter was later taken out of the military camp by the Li family, everyone guessed that Li Jiayi wanted to take a concubine.
As a result, the facts were beyond everyone’s expectations and were simply eye-popping.
Not only did the Li family want to marry the orphan girl of the Hong family to be Li Jiayi's official wife, they even agreed that the Hong family daughter should adopt an old military doctor as her adoptive father!
Shouldn't a family like the Li family find a wife from a wealthy family for their grandson to take advantage of each other?
Even if this is not the case, you should always find a girl with both parents.
The orphan girl of the Hong family has the reputation of being a neuter, isn't the Li family afraid of bad luck?
For a time, the whole Quanzhou was rumored about this incident.
Within two days, another happy news came out from the Yue family.
The Li family has family rules, and all children and grandchildren are only allowed to marry one wife, and no concubines are allowed.
If the couple is over forty and neither has children, then they can adopt the stepbrother's children, but they still do not take concubines!
As the son-in-law of the Li family, Liu Yang also abides by this rule, so the Yue family is very happy and does not have to worry about their daughter being wronged in the future.
At this moment, I couldn't help but spread the news.
Needless to say, there was even more excitement in Quanzhou city.
How many families who doted on their daughters beat their chests and feet in regret.
Had they known that the Li family did not value family status and did not take concubines, they would have forced their daughters into the Li family even if they had sharp heads!
Now it's better to let a merchant from the Yue family and the orphan girl from the Hong family take advantage!
The Li family and the Liu family don't care what outsiders think, they just keep busy.
Liu Yang and Jiayi took leave, wandered around the city for two days, and chose two adjacent small courtyards as their future homes.
The two small courtyards have a two-entry layout. They are located in the alley behind the busy city, which can be regarded as a quiet place in the middle of the hustle and bustle.
It is very spacious upon entering, with a living room, stables, and a large kitchen complete.
The second entrance to the courtyard is also good. The main room, side rooms and side rooms are all complete.
The two of them did not use any money from their families, so they pooled together their military pay for the past two years and bought it for more than 300 taels each.
