"Let them be happy. Candy will always be childlike, always thinking about the orchard and food. She'll probably have a hard time adjusting to life in Beijing. Jingjing and Xiaoxiao prefer a peaceful life and don't want to travel around. It's good for them to stay in Yegou Village. At least the house and orchard will be taken care of, and their parents will feel more at ease," Xingxing said with a smile.
Zhao Guizhi remembered something else and slapped her thigh, saying, "Jingjing and Xiaoxiao are getting married soon. I asked them before, wanting to act as matchmakers for them, but they both said they'd be willing to get married, but the man's parents shouldn't be alive, he shouldn't have any siblings, and he should be someone they can approve of."
I thought this would be difficult to find, and naturally, I didn't. But then, unexpectedly, not long after, they brought the person back themselves—it was a young man who was an only child and had no parents.
So before leaving, Zhao Guizhi left each of the two maids three hundred taels of silver and added a lot of dowry so that they could live a peaceful life after marriage.
Candy is still all alone. She was born with some intellectual disability, so she doesn't want to get married. Zhao Guizhi asked her what she thought, but Candy shook her head desperately and refused.
"No, no, Candy won't get married. Candy has delicious food and has hidden money. She won't let that stinky man spend it; Candy will spend it all herself."
While they reminisced about the past, the Chen family members surrounded the pregnant Chen Yueru and talked to her. The Chen family was good at doing business, and their business in Nanyang Prefecture was growing bigger and bigger. They were also thinking about whether to settle down in the capital.
On the other side, the village chief's family was showing great concern for Chun Chun, who was heavily pregnant. Qiu Qiu and her husband also came. Qiu Qiu got married earlier than Chun Chun and became pregnant not long after the marriage. Now her child is already running around everywhere.
Dongsheng didn't come; he was preparing for this year's provincial examination, and if he passed, he would become a Xiucai (a successful candidate in the county-level imperial examination).
There were also two families: the fiancées of Zhou Sifu and Zhou Wufu, and their families. These two families did not come to the palace together, but were arranged to stay in the respective residences of Sifu and Wufu.
Nowadays, all five of the Fu brothers own their own houses in Beijing. However, each house is not very big, with only two courtyards. They bought them with their own money so that they would have a place to stay if someone from their hometown came to visit.
The Zhou family mansion isn't small, but there are many family members, so it's still quite spacious for now. However, once the Fu brothers have their own children, even if the Zhou family mansion is large, it will feel a bit cramped. It's fine for the family to live in, but if guests come, there won't be many spare rooms.
In particular, several of the brothers Fu were brainwashed by Xingxing a few times, saying that they were quintuplets and might inherit the gene of multiple births in the future. If the sisters-in-law all gave birth to several children at once, do you think the mansion would be too small to accommodate them?
At the time, the Fu brothers didn't take it too seriously, since the chances of having multiple births were very low. But as Chun Chun and Ruru both became pregnant, Da Fu and San Fu started to get anxious. They were inexplicably worried that their wives would give birth to several babies at once, so they busied themselves buying a house in case there wasn't enough room for them.
Seeing that Dafu and Sanfu had bought a house, Erfu, Sifu, and Wufu thought that they would soon get married and have children, so they decided to buy a house for them as well.
The family is currently not short of money; they've even saved some. Instead of letting it sit idle, they might as well use it to buy a house.
