Chapter 1206 Destined Marriage
The sea breeze blows slightly, bringing with it the smell of the sea.
There are seagulls flying low by the sea, looking for unlucky fish to fill their bellies.
There are also naughty children playing on the beach, and occasionally on boats by the pier.
This is a small island not far from Quanzhou. It was bought by the Li family a few years ago. It has been built and organized for so long, and now it looks like a paradise.
The island is covered with lush green trees and flowers. There is even a waterfall falling on the hill in the middle, which looks very cool from a distance.
There are orchards scattered on both sides of the mountain. This is the season when peaches are ripe.
The peach trees are low and short, with heavy pink peaches. I wish I could just lie under the tree and reach out to pick them and eat them to my heart's content!
If you are familiar with it, if you look carefully, you will find that this island is vaguely similar to Broken Gold Beach.
At this moment, a large ship had just docked beside the trestle, and the young and old of the Li family were disembarking along the gangplank.
Three years are enough for Jiayin to grow into a more and more graceful girl.
Today she changed into a navy blue feather gauze dress, with a dark blue belt tied around her waist, and strings of millet beads hanging from it, which made her look even more tall and slim, and her waist too slim to hold.
Her black hair was pulled up casually, with only one pearl inserted into it, and the remaining half was scattered on her shoulders, playfully blown up by the sea breeze.
As soon as Mrs. Li's feet landed on the ground, she scolded her granddaughter, "You stinky girl, you said you would go back after staying for three days. You have been dragging her here and there for half a month."
Jiayin hugged the old lady’s round arms, and was extremely happy to be scolded.
In the past few years, my children and grandchildren are all around me, my heart is full and my grandma is in excellent health. This is the blessing of the whole family.
"Oh, grandma, my adoptive father's iron tree has finally blossomed. As a daughter, I will naturally have to help more. Otherwise, my adoptive mother will be dissatisfied and regret not marrying. Where can I find a good wife for my adoptive father? "
“Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about!” Mrs. Li glared at her granddaughter, but held her hand tightly.
“Your adoptive father and mother are destined to meet each other thousands of miles away, and they are destined to be married by fate!”
“Yes,” Tao Hongying, who followed later, also smiled, “When I first arrived here, I met Su Ning. It’s almost as if this marriage has been waiting for the Marquis.”
Mrs. Li urged, "Hurry up, we will get married the day after tomorrow, and we have to organize food and drinks. I'm afraid the housekeeper has been anxious for a long time, and he needs our help."
Everyone was chatting and laughing, and quickly got on the carriage. The carriage drove all the way to the middle of the island, bypassed the woods, and arrived at a small mountain col facing north and south.
In the mountain col, there are three courtyards side by side. The middle one is the largest, with five front and back entrances, and the left and right two are smaller, both with three entrances.
Looking from a distance, they look like a mountain, relying on each other and relying on each other.
Needless to say, the big house in the middle belongs to the Li family. Because there are so many people, the house is too small to live in.
The one on the left belongs to the Marquis, and the one on the right belongs to the Wen family.
Just like when we were at Ruijintan, no matter how you look at it, you will always be friendly.
At this moment, the doors of the Li family and the Marquis's house were both open, and everyone was coming in and out. Everyone was smiling, but only the Wen family was quiet.
Jiayin got off the carriage and saw her mother standing in front of the door, so she asked, "Mom, where is my stepmother?"
Tao Hongying smiled and said, "In the side courtyard of Mr. Wen's house, she said she must abide by the rules and not see each other for three days before the wedding."
Everyone laughed along with her, and it was normal for the bride to be shy.
Jiayin said hello, then went to the kitchen to load a box of freshly baked snacks and went to the next door.
The Wen family has a small population and there is not enough room in the main courtyard to live in, so the side courtyard and the front courtyard are also used as guest rooms for everyone most of the time.
Jiayin arrived at the gate of the side courtyard smoothly and saw a twenty-seven-year-old woman under the window. Her pale cherry-pink dress made her face appear slightly shy. Occasionally she stretched out her bare hands. The needlework in my hand is gentle and neat.
Hair of black hair was only held up by a mutton-fat jade hairpin, but the pearl pendant beside her ear swayed gently, creating a shallow arc of happiness.
Perhaps feeling a different kind of gaze, the woman slowly turned her head, revealing a face like a silver moon, a slightly plump neck and shoulders, and a gentle smile that made people's hearts tremble. Jiayin sighed in his heart. Only such a beautiful woman is worthy of her adoptive father who spent half his life in the army!
The gentle countryside has always been the best destination for heroes.
“Princess, why are you dazed? Come in quickly!”
Yu Suning smiled so much that she arched her eyebrows and raised her hand to greet him gently.
Jiayin quickly walked in.
When they came back from the Northland, the family was very happy to be reunited.
Mr. Zhang had a restless temper. He left a letter and went out to play in a few days.
She was also thinking about the small island where gunpowder was made, and quietly went to sea.
As a result, something happened at this time.
Master Hou suddenly returned to his status as an ordinary person. He was a little at a loss, so he walked around in the mountains and forests outside Quanzhou City without anything to do, but he was accidentally poisoned.
In fact, it is not considered poisonous. It is just a medicinal powder that can induce cold syndrome. If ordinary people smell it, they will shudder at most and become a little uncomfortable.
But the Marquis has been fighting in Jiangbei for more than ten years, and his foundation has been damaged. He has accumulated many diseases, and it is like laying a mine that was suddenly detonated by this medicinal powder!
Not only was the Marquis so cold that he was as cold as ice, but he was also unconscious for three days.
His family felt something was wrong. When they found him, there was a woman serving him, Yu Suning.
Yu Suning did not hide anything, she said that she had poisoned the Marquis.
Even though the Li family didn't think she was a bad person and took good care of the Marquis, they still took her back and locked her up.
Jiayin rushed back from the island urgently. He received acupuncture, medicated baths, and drank medicine. It took seven or eight days of treatment before the Marquis recovered. However, he still needs to pay attention to avoid the cold in the future and rest for a long time.
At this time, Yu Suning was also released, and her origins became clearer.
Speaking of which, Yu Suning is a pitiful person.
My father opened a pharmacy and was well known for his high medical ethics.
It happened that her mother got a strange disease, and her father tried his best to keep her alive.
Two years after my mother died, my father also died in depression.
In order to seize the pharmacy, the tribe spread rumors that Yu Su Ning had killed his relatives.
Not long after, Yu Suning’s husband’s family also came to cancel the engagement.
Yu Suning simply sold the pharmacy, dispersed the money, built a small yard in the mountains, and lived in seclusion with a pair of old servants. In a flash, she was an old girl in her twenties.
Single women always have a lot of trouble around them, and there are always people who want to take advantage of it.
Recently, something happened to the old servant's son who was away from home. He rushed to deal with it, leaving Yu Suning alone in the yard. For safety, she sprinkled powder, hoping to drive away those evil-minded disciples.
Unexpectedly, the disciple did not do much, but he brought down the Marquis!
Human life was at stake, and she was the one who caused the trouble, so she took care of the Marquis herself for three days and three nights, regardless of her reputation.
In these three days and three nights, it is inevitable to wipe your body, give medicine and water...
The Li family is all worried!
They didn't harm the Marquis intentionally, but they took the initiative to make up for it and take care of him.
This girl has a dirty name because of it, and if word spreads about it, it will be even more difficult for her to live!
How to deal with this...
