Chapter 623 Grand Reception

When Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu entered Jinshui Town, they were really dumbfounded.

Li Yingyue and Li Yiran held Zhang Juexia on either side. "Okay, you returned to Shunhe County without making any noise. If we sisters weren't well-informed, we would have deceived you."

"No, you guys?"

Li Yiran said proudly, "When I was a wife of the Liu family, I didn't even bother to go back to Jinshui Town.

Let me tell you, you two are very proud!"

Li Yingyue smiled and said, "Sister, after discussing it, we all feel that this is the only way to repay the efforts of you and your brother-in-law.

What's more, my brother-in-law is now a juren, which means he is an official. I have to celebrate for you in any way.

Come, hurry up, beat the gongs and drums, bring the horse over, let my brother-in-law ride it, and by the way, give him the red flower too.

Sister, for your safety, please follow us for the time being!

Also, what we have agreed on is to have my brother-in-law ride around Jinshui Town on horseback, then return to your shop, and finally have a feast at Shopkeeper Wan's Manfu Restaurant."

Li Yiran couldn't wait any longer and urged the person who was putting the red flower on Ye Beixiu, "Hurry up, this is our scholar, and this is the first one in Jinshui Town.

Unlike some people who think they are lucky just because they pass the imperial examination and become a scholar.

Look at our scholar, how low-key he is!"

"Of course not, look at our scholar, he is so handsome and elegant!

Tsk, tsk, tsk, it really looks good. I wonder if the scholar is married?

I have a lot of girls from good families on my hands!"

Ye Beixiu frowned after hearing what the man said. Li Yiran quickly pulled the man aside and said, "Didn't we agree that I just asked you to give someone a red flower? Why are you acting as a matchmaker for someone else?

I can tell you....”

Li Yiran pulled Zhang Juexia in front of Ye Beixiu again and said, "Look carefully. This is the wife of this scholar. Believe it or not, if you dare to mention matchmaking again, I won't give you a penny."

The man slapped his mouth and said, "I'm sorry, my dear friends, I'm just a matchmaker. You insisted on dragging me to put a red flower on the young scholar. I couldn't help myself when I saw a pretty girl!"

Li Yingyue took out a hundred coins and threw them to the matchmaker, "Okay, you've put on your red flowers, there's nothing more for you to do.

Remember, don't matchmake for just anyone you see in the future. If you're not careful, you might end up getting yourself into trouble!"

The matchmaker took the money, grinned, and walked away bowing. When she saw Li Yiran, she quickly gave him a flattering smile, "Miss Li, if you ever need to do this kind of job of putting a red flower on someone's head again, please remember me!

Look at my skillful hands, how beautifully I have put on the red flower for the Juren Master!"

Li Yiran waved her hands impatiently, urging the matchmaker to leave quickly. Seeing that everyone was looking at her with unfriendly eyes, she quickly admitted her mistake and said, "I'm in a hurry. Besides, she has some ready-made red flowers, so I just used them.

Juexia, Yingyue, don't just stand there, let's follow the next steps!"

Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu are no longer under his control!

Ye Beixiu put on a red flower and mounted his horse, with gongs and drums leading the way, as he headed towards the town.

Zhang Juexia followed Li Yingyue and Li Yiran into their carriage, "Yingyue, we still have a lot of things on our carriage!"

"Don't worry, it won't be lost. I've already asked Lin Yuan to drive the carriage back to Shengxia Embroidery Workshop."

Along the way, the two of them stared at Zhang Juexia without looking away, but Zhang Juexia ignored them and just let them look.

"Sister, you seem to have gained some weight since you went to Qingfeng City!"

"Li Yingyue, you're talking nonsense! She's pregnant, how could she not be fat?"

"But......"

"Okay, stop saying but!"

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Zhang Juexia finally spoke up, "Tell me, what's the next program?"

Li Yingyue and Li Yiran moved in unison this time. After smiling at each other, Li Yiran pointed at Li Yingyue and said, "You two are good sisters. You came up with the idea, so why don't you tell me?"

“Sister, my brother-in-law will return to the shop after strolling around the streets.

Let’s go back to the shop now. Auntie and Manager Yao are waiting for you in the shop!

And Doctor Liu might come with his wife too!"

Zhang Juexia rolled his eyes, "You guys are making it quite grand!"

"Everyone just wants to have fun. Besides, my brother-in-law is indeed a successful candidate. Although there may be more successful candidates in Qingfeng City, I have inquired in Jinshui Town and it is true that my brother-in-law is the only one.

Sister, don't say that I'm just a martial arts candidate and it's not worth celebrating.

I've also inquired about this. There has never been a military scholar or a juren in Jinshui Town before. No matter what, my brother-in-law is the first one.

so......."

Li Yingyue shook Zhang Juexia's arm and said, "Sister, don't be angry. For the sake of the baby in your belly, don't be angry!"

Li Yiran glared at Zhang Juexia and said to Li Yingyue, "Ignore her!"

Then she began to talk to Zhang Juexia, "Zhang Juexia, we all know that you are not the kind of person who likes to show off, but your husband has passed the imperial examination, so you must publicize it!

If my husband had passed the imperial examination, I would have held a banquet in Jinshui Town long ago, but I don't have that luck!"

After saying that, he sighed again.

Li Yingyue wanted to persuade Li Yiran, but she didn't know what to say.

Zhang Juexia rolled his eyes at Li Yiran and said, "Li Yiran, it's just an example. Leave it to me."

"Seriously, Li Yingyue, you have to testify for me that Zhang Juexia did say this!"

"Well, I promise to testify for you!"

The carriage stopped in front of Shengxia Embroidery Workshop, and soon many people gathered around the carriage. Li Yiran jumped out of the carriage and waved his hand, "Ladies and ladies, we must make way for our wife, the juren, to get off the carriage!

You all know that our wife is now a double and cannot afford any mistakes."

"The wife of the juren is quite pretty!"

"No, why haven't I seen this person before?"

"She is the owner of this embroidery workshop. Her surname is Zhang and her maiden family seems to be from Dahe Village.

Oh, by the way, I also heard that…"

"What? So our scholar is related to the wealthy Li family!"

"Bah, what relatives? Don't forget that the eighth concubine of Mr. Li is a concubine!

Although our Jinshui Town is a small place, it still has its own rules. Have you ever seen a concubine's family become a legitimate relative?

“That’s right!”

"However, I also heard that this woman and the eighth concubine of Mr. Li are not blood sisters."

"What?"

Then, a group of people began to whisper again.

"I've finally learned my lesson today, but after all, this lady is the lucky one!"

"That's right, I have everything now!"

"Of course not, but I heard that the eighth concubine of the wealthy Li family is also pregnant. The wealthy Li family is in need of a son. If the eighth concubine really gave birth to a son, I'm afraid it would be a disaster."

"It's hard to say what's going on. We can only say this after the baby is born."

"That's right, that's right! Let's keep our voices down. I heard that this scholar's wife has a good relationship with Madam Li. Maybe Madam Li will come today too."

"Mrs. Li has been here for a long time!"

"What?"

"Just now, when I came over there, I saw the Li family's carriage."
