As soon as Lu Qiqi returned to Luzhou Prefecture, she was informed that the manor villa she had been longing for had been completed.
So the family followed Lu Dahai to the manor villa.
When she saw the manor villa in front of her, she almost burst out laughing and screamed.
Lu Qiqi looked at Lu Dahai with a smile in her eyes, "Third Uncle, the manor villa was completed in just half a year?"
Lu Yao couldn't believe her eyes when she saw what was happening. She pinched herself to make sure she wasn't dreaming.
Holding the child, Zeng said with a smile, "When Jinfei and I first came back, we were quite surprised to see such a magnificent courtyard."
Lu Dahai patted Li Qingshan's arm, "This is all thanks to your uncle. If it weren't for him, your third uncle really wouldn't be able to take care of things by himself."
Li Qingshan became embarrassed by the praise, "It's all because Qiqi drew such a good picture and left so much silver."
"This is all thanks to the villagers from several villages in Heshun Prefecture. Without their help, the project wouldn't have been completed so quickly."
After listening to Li Qingshan's words, Lu Qiqi realized that he had returned to Luzhou Prefecture on Wednesday and learned that he urgently needed people to build the manor villa.
He then went back to find Zhao Xiaodong and asked him to discuss with several village chiefs that the villagers would come to help during their off-season, and that wages and travel expenses would be paid as usual.
Lu Qiqi saved the lives of people in several villages, so naturally she cared even more about her residence.
Everyone worked together towards the same goal, which led to the miracle of building a large courtyard in just six months.
After hearing about everyone's efforts, Lu Qiqi thanked them repeatedly, and at the same time, she remembered everyone's kindness to her.
However, after visiting the manor villa with Lu Dahai, she found that there was no one else's belongings and all the rooms were empty.
She asked in confusion, "Third Uncle, why did you only prepare a room for me and Ayao?"
What about yours?
Lu Dahai laughed and said, "This place is nice, but it's too far from the back mountain. Your uncle and I still have to guard the crops and the factory."
Besides, Changlong already told us about your affair with Young Master Song.
Lu Dahai never expected that the scholar who saved Lu Qiqi's life on the way to escape famine was actually a member of the royal family.
She also developed a unique connection with Lu Qiqi.
Thinking this, Lu Dahai pulled Lu Qiqi aside and said, "Third Uncle originally wanted to find you a husband, but it seems that your relationship with Young Master Song is not going to work out."
You've spent so much money on this house; this will be your confidence back in your family home.
If you come back during holidays or festivals, we'll stay in this house for a couple of days.
It is truly remarkable that Lu Dahai, a farmer, not only does not discriminate against women but also thinks so far ahead.
Lu Qiqi was deeply moved. "Thank you, Third Uncle."
Lu Dahai chuckled, "Silly child, you've just come to the capital, why are you being so polite with your third uncle?"
Li called out to the uncle and nephew for a long time, but they didn't hear her at all. Helpless, she had no choice but to walk up to them.
He teased, "What are you two, uncle and nephew, talking about so intently?"
Then she grabbed Lu Qiqi's arm and said, "Qiqi, your aunt has honed her cooking skills over the past six months and wants to show them off to you."
It's almost noon, let's go support your aunt.
Having said all that, there was no reason for Lu Qiqi to refuse.
It wasn't until she sat down that she realized Mrs. Lu had prepared a spicy dish for her.
She enjoyed the meal, while Lu Yao sat next to her, constantly chugging water.
Thinking of the younger generation, Madam Lu reserved a non-spicy dish for each meal.
But seeing her sister enjoying the food, Lu Yao stubbornly refused to believe it and followed suit, her little mouth turning bright red from the spiciness.
Lu Qiqi glanced at Xibao, who was mocking Lu Yao.
Goodness, my mouth is full of chili oil, and it's so spicy it's making my eyes water.
This frightened Li Shi quite a bit; she thought Li Shi had fallen ill, and she laughed and cried at the same time.
Until Lu Qiqi stuffed a pear syrup candy into Xibao's little mouth.
In no time, her habit of crying and laughing was cured.
After the family enjoyed a meal together, they sat down to chat and catch up.
The atmosphere during the event instantly transported the family back to a year ago.
Even so, there are still some differences.
For example, Li Changlong received praise from the emperor, and the reward he received was more silver than Lu Dahai could earn in half a lifetime.
For example, on Saturday, his studies improved so much that he not only received praise from the academy's teachers, but was also accepted as a close disciple by a great Confucian scholar who had once served as the Grand Tutor.
This made Lu Shi and Li Qingshan extremely happy, and they even began to believe the old man from Yi'an Village.
Who knows, his sixth son might really become a prime minister!
After all, Xiao Liu's master is not only a great Confucian scholar, but also an imperial tutor!
...
Lu Qiqi returned to Luzhou Prefecture for half a month, but instead of seeing the person she wanted to see, she saw Nineteen driving a carriage back to the manor villa.
When Qingdai and Haitang, carrying their bags and lifting their skirts, came straight to her with tears in their eyes.
For a moment, she was at a loss for what to do.
Qingdai was faster than Haitang, and she ran while wiping away her tears.
The look in his eyes as he looked at Lu Qiqi was extremely resentful, as if Lu Qiqi were a scumbag who had abandoned her.
Lu Qiqi, "..."
Qingdai ran up to her and stopped, her voice trembling with sobs, "Miss, why didn't you take your maid and Haitang with you when you went home?"
Before leaving, Lu Qiqi was afraid that the news would leak out, so apart from the Marquis of Lin'an, no one in the Marquis's mansion knew about her plan.
This naturally included Qingdai, who followed her.
She said, "Although you two are from the Marquis's mansion, your indentures were given to me by your maternal aunt a long time ago."
I'll give you the indentures of nineteen, restoring your freedom, which will also fulfill the bond between master and servant.
Qingdai spoke first, "Miss, I'm not going anywhere, I just want to serve you."
Haitang nodded emphatically and then looked at Lu Yao, who was playing with Xibao in the distance.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qiqi smiled and said, "Since you want to stay, then when you meet a good man, I will prepare a generous dowry for you!"
