The Liu brothers had already asked Luo Kuanlong, only Liu Siqiang hadn't spoken yet.
Mrs. Wu tugged at her second son's clothes, "What are you standing there for? Don't you know how to greet your elders?"
Liu Siqiang then came to his senses and awkwardly greeted Luo Kuanlong and his wife, bowing as well.
At this moment, Liu Sisi had already grabbed Luo Ling'er's hand and walked inside. She whispered jokingly, "Sister, you look so beautiful today. Look how mesmerized my second brother."
Luo Ling'er glanced at Liu Siqiang and found him looking at her! She immediately blushed.
"You little rascal, you're actually teasing your sister."
She pretended to scold her younger sister, and Liu Sisi ran away in a flash.
Seeing how close the two sisters were, Wu and Xia Wanwan both smiled with satisfaction.
"Sister Wu, when did you arrive in the capital? I haven't heard Sisi mention it at all," Xia Wanwan asked.
“I sent people to pick up my parents and brothers many days ago. It took them several days to arrive by carriage, so I didn’t tell you in advance,” Liu Sisi stepped forward and answered quickly.
Once everyone had arrived, the cooks in the manor began preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.
Liu Sisi specifically asked everyone about their preferences, wrote them down, and had the cook prepare them all to try to cater to everyone's tastes.
Liu Sifu was a good husband. Even though everyone was immersed in the joy of the New Year, he still paid close attention to his wife's every move. Whenever Li Caiping felt a little uncomfortable, he would immediately go over to comfort her.
Looking at the young couple, Xia Wanwan couldn't help but praise, "Sister, your family has such a good tradition. Look how well Sifu takes care of his wife. It seems that the girls who marry into your family are all blessed!"
"You flatter me, little sister. My family has a bunch of rascals. What good fortune do we have?"
"My sister is truly blessed to have such a beautiful, well-mannered, and generous daughter as Ling'er!" Madam Wu replied modestly.
"Both of you ladies are blessed to have a daughter like Sisi. It is an immense blessing for you."
At this point, Luo Bin chimed in, saying that he now knew all about Liu Sisi's family members.
He was extremely satisfied with his divine disciple. When he heard others praising someone, he wanted to praise his own disciple as well.
"Haha... Master Luo is right." Luo Kuanlong and Liu Dashi echoed.
The elders were having a pleasant chat, while the younger generation...
Liu Siqiang's behavior was a bit strange. He watched the elders chatting, but his eyes kept drifting towards Liu Sisi and Luo Ling'er.
Liu Sisi thought to herself as she saw her second brother like this.
"Could it be that my second brother has taken a liking to my sister? If they get together, should I call him brother-in-law or sister-in-law?"
Luo Ling'er also felt Liu Siqiang's gaze, and she would glance back at him from time to time.
Today, Liu Siqiang was dressed in a blue robe, gentle and refined, exuding a classical and gentle air in every gesture. Her eyes were full of admiration when she looked at him, and she had a good impression of him.
Seeing that the two of them kept glancing at each other, Liu Sisi suggested, "Sister, how about I call my brothers over and we play games together?"
"Okay." Luo Ling'er agreed readily.
So Liu Sisi gathered all the younger relatives together except for her eldest brother and sister-in-law, and they played the game of Eagle Catches Chicks.
Liu Siqiang was the eagle, and Luo Ling'er was the hen. At first, the two were a little reserved, but after playing for a while, they both had a great time.
The mansion was filled with the festive atmosphere of the New Year, with laughter and joy filling the air.
When the appointed time arrived, the servants lit firecrackers and began to eat their New Year's Eve dinner.
After dinner, it was getting late, so Luo Kuanlong and his family went home first.
The next day, Li Caiping felt abdominal pain early in the morning. Liu Sisi knew that her sister-in-law was about to give birth and had already prepared a midwife.
With the help of the miraculous doctor Liu Sixi, and with Liu Sisi feeding Li Caiping water from the Bagua River, the childbirth went very smoothly.
It was a boy, very cute. Liu Sisi and his uncles gave him a lot of gifts, filling his little bed to the brim.
Since the children were already born in the capital, Liu Sisi discussed with her parents about having them move there, and that her eldest brother open his business there as well, while her second brother and younger brother would study there. After all, the princess's mansion was big enough for their whole family to live in.
If Doctor Jiang is willing to come to the capital, Fifth Brother can come along too. If not, Fifth Brother will have to make the trip back and forth between the two places.
The shops in Jinshan County are also open, with some of their own people managing them. Liu Sifu can go back and check on them whenever he has time.
Wu and Liu Dashi agreed, saying they could stay in the capital so they could see their daughter every day instead of constantly waiting for her to return.
So a month later, the Liu family moved to the capital.
Before leaving, Liu Dashi left two servants for Liu Yuanshan and instructed him not to beat or scold the servants unless they had made a mistake. He said that if Liu Yuanshan found out, he would take the servants away. He also threw 200 taels of silver at Liu Dashi.
"Father, your life is getting better now. Take good care of Mother and my second and third brothers. I won't skimp on the money for you. I guarantee you'll live a life of comfort and ease until you're old."
Liu Yuanshan accepted the two hundred taels of silver and the two servants who served him, feeling quite satisfied. He had always been a selfish yet clear-headed person.
Since his eldest son continued to give him money and even provided servants, it showed that his son was still filial to his father. As long as his eldest son was happy, his life would not be bad.
"Okay, I know. Don't worry, with me here, no one will dare to cause trouble at your shop."
