Li Zhensheng and Li Lao Er didn't stop them.
Firstly, they are happy as long as their elderly mother is comfortable living wherever she wants.
Secondly, with patrol teams in the village and fellow villagers who share weal and woe, the safety of family members is indeed more guaranteed.
Tao Hongying, Zhao Yuru, and others had no objections.
The Earl's mansion is well-built, but it's nothing like the comfort of the village.
So, in less than half an hour, everyone got into the carriage and returned to the village.
In Suijintan New Village, the villagers, young and old, are not used to it.
They had been living here with the Li family for several years, and this was the first time the Li family's courtyard had been so empty.
Everyone who passed by couldn't help but glance at the tightly closed gate of the Li family's courtyard, feeling a tightness in their chest.
But it also felt like something was missing, making me a little uneasy.
So when everyone heard that the Li family's caravan had returned, and that the old lady, the lord, and the princess had all come back, almost every household in the village, young and old, men and women, ran out to the village entrance to greet them happily.
"Madam, you're finally back! Without you at home, everyone felt like life was going nowhere!"
"Yes, madam, the city isn't as peaceful and comfortable as our village!"
"Fourth Madam, the workshop has sent another order for a lot of noodles, and they're waiting for you to assign them tasks!"
"Princess, it seems a maid at the pharmacy has ruined the medicinal soup. We've been smelling the burnt odor all day."
Everyone chattered about the trivial matters that had happened in the village over the past two days.
There are good and bad aspects, but the conclusion and the goal are the same: the village can't function without the Li family.
It would be best if the Li family, young and old, never went out again, and they could all stay together and live happily ever after.
Grandma Li was beaming with joy, saying, "Ah, there's no place like home. The city is bustling, but nothing beats the comfort of our own home."
"Don't worry, just go about your business. I won't be coming to the city again unless it's something important!"
Everyone's little scheme was exposed, but they weren't embarrassed at all; they just laughed and helped tidy up the things.
Tao Hongying took it upon herself to distribute the snacks she brought back from the city to everyone in the village, which made everyone happy and go home!
The village chief, Uncle Zhao, and others, along with Liu the镖头 and his men, had just received the "maid" sent back from the city, so they naturally knew that something had gone wrong at today's wedding banquet.
So, after the crowd dispersed, they entered the Li family's courtyard.
Jia Huan was worried about the business at Cyclamen, so she went back to oversee it.
Li Laosan also returned to Luo'an Academy, on guard against anyone plotting against the cafeteria.
Only Li Zhensheng, along with Jiaren and Lige'er, were left at home to entertain the guests. Li Lao Er then went to Doctor Zhang's place, intending to pry some information out of the maid.
Jiayin wanted to go with her second uncle, but Old Lady Li pulled her back. "You're a young lady, don't get involved in these things. It's not like we don't have uncles and brothers in the family."
Jiayin had no choice but to obediently go wash up and change her clothes.
Time is a truly amazing thing.
In just two short years, the chubby little girl has grown into a young woman.
Jiayin took a bath, changed into a pale yellow dress, tied a palm-width emerald green belt, and hung a milky white mutton fat jade ring, which made her figure look graceful and elegant.
Her hair was simply braided with pearl ribbons, mostly pinned up, with two strands hanging down. She wore matching pearl earrings that swayed as she walked, making her look lively and energetic.
She already had beautiful features and a refined temperament. After tidying herself up so well, she went to see the old lady, who was delighted and praised her endlessly.
“My Fu Niu’er is so beautiful! In a few years, no girl in Tianwu will be able to compare to my Fu Niu’er.”
Tao Hongying was also proud of her outstanding daughter. She smiled and pulled her daughter to her side, helping her straighten her skirt.
When my daughter was little, everyone at home and outside doted on her.
Tao Hongying was afraid that her daughter would become spoiled and domineering, so she would occasionally put her down.
Now that her daughter has grown up, is intelligent, sensible, filial, and generous, she can finally breathe a sigh of relief and join the ranks of those who dote on her.
She instructed, "Have you not been sleeping well these past few days? Your face has gotten thinner. Tonight, Mom will make you some bird's nest porridge. Drink it before you go to sleep."
Jiayin pinched her double chin and reluctantly agreed.
There's a kind of thinness in this world called, "Your mother thinks you're too thin..."
Grandma Li was increasingly pleased with her granddaughter and kept urging her on.
"Fu Niu'er, why are you hiding all your jewelry so well? Aren't you afraid the mice will steal it? From now on, wear them all, wear them as elegantly as possible!"
"Don't dress her up in a plain way. Young girls should be dressed in bright and lively colors; that's what makes them look cheerful!"
"Okay, I'll listen to Grandma. From now on, I'll wear all those jewelry, and I'll always have four maids following me around." Jiayin smiled and hugged her grandmother's arm, agreeing readily.
Old Mrs. Li asked out of curiosity, "Why bring so many maids?"
Jiayin raised her chin, pretending that her neck was too heavy to bear, "If I wore all those hairpins and ornaments, my head would look like a hedgehog."
"I kept falling as I walked, and the maid followed behind me, picking up the pieces. How could we manage without her help?"
Grandma Li, Tao Hongying, and the others were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
Jiayin's description was so vivid that they couldn't stop laughing whenever they thought about having their heads stuck in like hedgehogs.
"Ouch, ouch, my stomach hurts! This girl is so naughty, she's killing me with laughter!" Grandma Li rubbed her stomach, then pulled her granddaughter into her arms, loving her like her precious darling.
Zhao Yuru's cheeks ached from laughing, and she rubbed them as she said, "In our family, anyone can go out, but Fu Niu'er has to stay by our side. If she leaves home, our lives will be too boring!"
"Then let's find a son-in-law to live with her!" Old Lady Li waved her hand. "Fu Niu'er is a princess, and she has her own fiefdom and princess's mansion. Finding a husband won't be difficult for her."
Wan'er held a bowl of jujube tea and drank it. Yuanyuan had been sent back to sleep in the back, so she could finally relax for a while.
So she interjected with a smile, "Grandma is right. In most families, the eldest son is supposed to inherit the family business, and he is taught in a very rigid and serious manner."
"The second sons of each family are all very clever and quick-witted. We should find out about the best ones early on and observe them for several years."
"If his character is truly good, it's not too late to discuss marriage. After all, my sister is only a little over ten years old, and it's too early for her to get engaged!"
"Wan'er is right. From now on, when we go out, everyone should keep an eye out for any good-looking young men we see." Old Mrs. Li really took this to heart and began to assign "tasks" to everyone.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh, but they responded with a sense of satisfaction.
Tao Hongying, in particular, made up her mind to go out and socialize more often in the future.
In fact, most families who love their daughters will look for them early on, for fear of making a mistake and causing their daughters to suffer for the rest of their lives.
Our own prediction was four or five years ahead of schedule, which is a bit exaggerated, but understandable.
What can we do when this is our only precious child?
The village chief and others sat together drinking tea, listening with smiles on their faces.
They had no say in the princess's marriage and no good candidates to recommend, but they were able to support her.
Whether she marries out or is taken in by her husband, no one should dare to bully their princess!
The crowd was chatting animatedly, and before they knew it, half an hour had passed.
Li Lao Er also returned from Doctor Zhang's place, his face so cold it seemed as if two ounces of frost could be scraped off.
Everyone instinctively stopped laughing...
Served at midnight~~
