Fortunately, at this time a eunuch came from the emperor's side to convey the emperor's instructions.
It turned out that the emperor had obtained some fine items and invited the third prince to come and appreciate them. In fact, the emperor felt sorry for his son's fright and wanted to find an excuse to reward him.
The third prince immediately changed his anger into joy, quickly changed his clothes, got rid of the smell of alcohol, and rushed over.
Naturally, he put the cashmere business behind him. As for the dead Mr. Zhou, no one cared about him anymore. He was just a dead man!
Taijia Village, which is a hundred miles away, has no idea that there are so many intrigues in the palace, and that one thing requires eight hundred twists and turns to accomplish.
Hunter and prey are switching roles all the time!
Because of Mr. Zhou’s accidental death, the family was relieved of the pressure and everyone couldn’t help but think about Zhuzhu.
To be honest, the fat girl is the apple of the eye and heart of the whole family. Even if they trust the Wu family and have Yongning and Yongfeng to take care of her, they are still worried.
So, Yang Lihua quickly found some satisfactory needlework as a thank you gift and was about to go to the city to see her daughter. Even if she couldn't go home for a while, she could stay with her daughter in the small courtyard for a few days.
As for the workshop, the women in the village are already experienced and do not need Yang Lihua to watch over it every day. With Chunhong around, they can handle the work properly.
Tai Jiye also wanted to go into the city to meet his friends for a meal, a drink, and to find out about the current cashmere market in the city.
If the price of cashmere is indeed extremely high, then sell some of it. After all, if you can get a profit without any hard work, no fool would miss it.
But if the price stabilizes, I will keep it in my family workshop and slowly weave it into clothes.
The three boys were bored at home, and they all stared at the old man, looking like puppies wagging their tails.
The old man couldn't stand their nagging any longer, so he said, "If you want to go, come with me, but remember don't be naughty. If you cause trouble, I won't let you out next time."
After saying that, he looked at Chen Ruiyang carefully.
Originally, this boy was fair and well-mannered, but after being mistreated by his biological father and stepmother, and experiencing the misery of wandering outside, as well as the torture of the cold wind and scorching sun on the grassland, he has now become a dark and strong farm boy.
Not to mention ordinary acquaintances, even the former servants of the Zheng family would probably not recognize him if they saw him in person.
The old man patted Chen Ruiyang on the shoulder and sighed softly in his heart.
Chen Zhao had been gone for several months, and it was still unknown how the investigation was progressing. If there was any news, Chen Ruiyang would probably not be as at ease as he was now.
For the time being, let the child be more relaxed. After all, who knows when the heavy hatred will fall on his shoulders...
Zhuzhu stayed at the Wu family for three days. Every day after getting up early and eating, Mrs. Wu would take her and her son out to play, sometimes shopping, sometimes visiting friends.
After returning home for lunch at noon, Zhuzhu was taken to the front yard by Yongning. Song Hui, Qi Ming and Teng Yu rushed to look after this lovely little girl.
One brought snacks from home, and the other bought some interesting gadgets. As long as the fat girl said she liked them, they would be happier than eating honey.
Even Yongning, his biological brother, and Yongfeng, his biological cousin, are often squeezed so that they can't get to the front.
Mr. Wu also liked Fatty very much. As long as Fatty wasn't sleepy, Yongning and the others would study on their own in the afternoon class, while Mr. Wu would hold Fatty and patiently teach her how to write. Even when Fatty drew turtles all over the white paper, he would still laugh happily...
So much so that when Yang Lihua suddenly came to pick up the child, everyone in the Wu family, from top to bottom, was reluctant to let her go.
Mrs. Wu took Yang Lihua to sit down and drink tea, praising Zhuzhu repeatedly. "This child is really great. Although she is young, she is as sensible as a little adult. I really wish I could have a daughter who is exactly like her!"
Yang Lihua hugged her daughter and smiled. She looked down and saw the longevity lock on her daughter's neck and the small golden butterfly on her braid. She quickly said, "Mrs. Wu, you bought jewelry for this child? This is not okay..."
Mrs. Wu immediately pressed her hand down, "You can't refuse. I'm not giving it to you, I'm giving it to Zhuzhu! She's been staying here for the past few days, not only to keep me company but also to please my husband.
"Leave these little things to Zhuzhu. When she grows up, if the two children are destined to be together, perhaps they can become relatives. If not, I am willing to adopt Zhuzhu as my adopted daughter. After all, such a good child, I must have a share of the spoils!"
Yang Lihua was amused and laughed again. She lowered her head and kissed her chubby daughter, and replied, "So, my Zhuzhu is like a piece of fat meat. Everyone who sees her wants to have a bite."
Madam Wu also laughed and was about to speak when Young Master Wu, who had been standing silently beside his mother, nodded seriously, "Well, Sister Zhuzhu is white, like fat meat!"
The room was silent for a moment, and then everyone burst into laughter again. This time even the maids and servants who were serving could not help laughing.
After talking for a while, the school was over.
Yang Lihua quickly took Zhuzhu to say goodbye, then went to pay her respects to Mr. Wu, and finally took Yongning and Yongfeng back to the courtyard.
Coincidentally, Tai Jiye had just returned from strolling around with the boys for most of the day.
Five or six brothers got together, plus their baby Zhuzhu, and started playing so hard that they almost blew the roof off the house.
When Manager Min heard the noise, he hurriedly finished his chores in the store and came over to chat.
Yang Lihua invited him to have dinner and asked him to tell her that she would visit Mrs. Min the next day.
Mrs. Min was of course very happy, and she sent a maid and a carriage to pick people up early the next day.
The Tai family lives a good life now. They are not rich, but their food, clothing and other expenses have improved a lot.
Yang Lihua brought Zhuzhu with her, both wearing brocade dresses. Their jewelry was neither ostentatious nor cheap. When they entered the Min family's house, the maids and servants were attentive to them and gave them rewards when they were due. Naturally, everyone treated them with great respect.
Mrs. Min was waiting at the second door, and Miss Min was even holding up her skirt and standing on tiptoe, waiting for her little friend Zhuzhu.
After finally meeting each other, the two girls started chattering and hugging each other, making their two mothers envious and happy.
The Min family harvested a lot of corn from their fields this year, so naturally they earned a lot of favors.
Mrs. Min was already grateful, and she had even taken the Tai family's cashmere clothes knitting method before. When she met Yang Lihua this time, she felt much closer to her.
Who would have thought that just because I was kind-hearted at the time and made good connections, I would receive so much in return from the Tai family!
While the two maids were playing together, Mrs. Min knitted cashmere clothes with Yang Lihua. Yang Lihua did not hide her skills and taught very carefully, which made Mrs. Min even happier. She vaguely regarded her as a close friend.
When they left the Min family, Yang Lihua and her daughter brought a lot of thank-you gifts, all of which were carefully selected by Mrs. Min and could not be refused no matter how hard they tried.
Yang Lihua had no choice but to plan to work harder before the New Year and embroider a large screen for Mrs. Min as a return gift.
Originally, everyone thought they would have to stay in the city for two more days, but suddenly they received news from home asking them to go back as soon as possible.
Yang Lihua was very worried, not knowing what had happened at home...
