Chapter 1927 Ying Xi Goes to Deliver Congratulatory Gifts
Shu Yu then asked about Zhou Tiedong's injuries. Zhou's father said that he had almost recovered and that he could come back to work after the wedding.
Shu Yu told him not to rush, that he should rest after getting married, and that the shop wasn't finished yet, so there was still time.
After chatting for a few minutes, Zhou's father said goodbye and left, knowing that Shu Yu was busy and didn't want to bother her any longer.
After seeing the person off, Shu Yu turned around and asked Ying Xi to pick out a congratulatory gift.
Although she didn't have time to go, on the day of Zhou Tiedong's wedding, Ying Xi brought Shu Yu's gift to Tuqiao Village to congratulate them on their marriage.
Shu Yu's wedding gifts were always simple and straightforward; whenever she gave someone a wedding gift, it was either gold or jade jewelry.
This time, what was sent over was still a gold hairpin.
The hairpin was exquisitely made and quite heavy. Placed in a box lined with red silk, it was breathtaking at first glance.
Many wedding guests were envious. Some of the guests had made sarcastic remarks, saying that Zhou's father had gone to great lengths to invite the county magistrate, even having a scholar write the invitation, but still couldn't get the magistrate to come. Clearly, the magistrate didn't take the Zhou family seriously at all, and that her previous help to Zhou Tiedong was just a kind gesture.
Who knew that although the county princess did not come, she sent such a generous gift through her personal maid.
This is a gold hairpin; it doesn't look cheap.
Zhou Tiedong felt very embarrassed. He hadn't even done any work for the county magistrate yet, and he had already given her such a big gift. He really felt unworthy of it.
Yingxi said, "Now that you're a worker at Lu Ji's, you're one of the county magistrate's people. The county magistrate never mistreats her own people. Actually, even if you didn't send wedding invitations, the county magistrate would still make up for it with a gift when she finds out you're getting married. As long as you work hard in the future, your treatment won't be bad."
The Zhou family repeatedly expressed their gratitude, and Zhou's parents repeatedly told Zhou Tiedong to be loyal to the county magistrate and not to slack off in his work in the future.
The guests were even more envious after hearing Ying Xi's words. Was this a case of "a great calamity is followed by great fortune"? Back then, he was framed and imprisoned, and his parents had nowhere to turn for help. Everyone thought the Zhou family was doomed.
Unexpectedly, things turned around for them. Not only is Dongzi alive and well, but her case has also been overturned. Now she has met a benefactor and has a powerful backer. How wonderful!
Ying Xi didn't stay long. After delivering her congratulatory gift, she spoke a few words to Zhou Tiedong alone before taking her leave.
Zhou Tiedong's face was full of joy, and everyone else surrounded him, asking, "What did that girl say just now?"
Zhou Tiedong laughed and said, "Miss Yingxi said that the brother I mentioned to the county magistrate before, who was in the same cell as me, has also had his case overturned and was recently released without charge and returned home."
"real?"
Zhou Tiedong nodded, "I'll go to the county town to see him when I have the chance." Yingxi also said that Chen Bing had been exiled some time ago.
However, on this joyous occasion, he didn't mention this troublesome person.
The Zhou family was overjoyed and held a simple yet lively wedding.
After the wedding, Zhou Tiedong did not rest for more than a few days. On the second day after the third day after the wedding, he and Wang Yue packed their bags, hired an oxcart, and rushed to the prefectural city.
He first went to Fuyuan Street, but Shu Yu was not there; only He Gong, who was working, was inside.
He Gong had been instructed by Shu Yu earlier that he was Zhou Tiedong, so he said there was a house in the backyard where they could stay for the time being.
It was late, and Zhou Tiedong didn't want to disturb Shu Yu, so he spent the night in the backyard.
The next morning, he took Wang Yue to find Shu Yu.
