Fu Wenhan and his wife were sitting in the living room at this time.
Since they were all in the capital, they had to go back to their parents' home today, so the two elders waited in the living room after getting up.
As soon as Li Xiuzhu and the other person came in, they bowed to the two elders.
"My son-in-law, Li Xiuzhu, greets his father-in-law and mother-in-law."
"My daughter has met her father and mother."
Fu Wenhan nodded when he heard this.
"Okay, everyone get up."
Chen also hurriedly said, "Xiuzhu, Yuehua, please sit down."
"Yumei, serve the refreshments."
Li Xiuzhu looked around and didn't see his three younger sisters-in-law. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where are Yunshuang and the others?"
Chen smiled when she heard this.
"Yun Shuang said she would cook a meal for us personally. She is in her small kitchen now."
Li Xiuzhu nodded. It was normal for Yunshuang to cook by herself. In his opinion, there was nothing special about it.
But only Fu Wenhan's family knew that they could eat Yunshuang's meals thanks to Li Xiuzhu.
Apart from studying dishes, Fu Yunshuang doesn't know how to cook.
Fu Yuehua also knew her second sister very well. She smiled helplessly at Li Xiuzhu, who was unaware of anything and felt that she deserved it.
"My sister is really being controlled by my husband."
Hmm? In order to avoid Fu Yuehua knowing that he could eavesdrop on his thoughts, he didn't dare to think about it, and quickly changed the subject and said, "Where are Yanyu and Baozhu? Aren't they still sleeping?"
Chen smiled and said, "I'm sleeping."
"After I came back from your place, I played with the bamboo dragonfly for the whole afternoon, and then I looked at the lucky coin again and again before going to bed."
"If the maid in the room hadn't come to find me, I would have gone to watch them sleep. I'm afraid I wouldn't have slept after midnight."
Li Xiuzhu rubbed his nose awkwardly when he heard that. It seemed that it was still his own problem.
"Ahem, I just wanted to give the two little guys some novel gifts, but I didn't expect it would disturb their sleep."
Chen looked at Li Xiuzhu's embarrassed expression and said with a smile: "I'm not blaming you. I'm just glad that you treat your aunts and sisters well."
"Here, this is your New Year's money."
As Chen spoke, she stood up and walked to Li Xiuzhu and Fu Yuehua.
Li Xiuzhu and Fu Yuehua also hurriedly stood up.
Chen didn't take it seriously and handed the two pieces of paper to the two of them.
The money could naturally be identified at a glance, but Li Xiuzhu was curious about the denomination.
Unfortunately, it was not very polite to see it in person, so he took it and put it in my sleeve.
"Thank you, father-in-law and mother-in-law. I wish you all the best and good health in the new year."
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, this is the gift Yuehua and I prepared for you."
As Li Xiuzhu spoke, he took out a pair of silver hollow sachets from his arms.
"I heard that my mother-in-law has palpitations, so I specially prepared this. It contains a special medicine that I made according to an ancient recipe. If you take it when you have a sudden palpitation, it can save my mother-in-law's life for two hours."
"Well, it's not just palpitations, it also has convulsions and so on, but it can't detoxify or treat colds."
"The medicinal properties of this pill should not evaporate completely within three years, but in order to ensure the medicinal properties, I will prepare one pill for my mother-in-law every year."
"If you use it, remember to tell me and I will replenish it for my mother-in-law as soon as possible."
Chen nodded with relief when she heard this.
"You are thoughtful, kid."
Li Xiuzhu also smiled.
“It should be.”
"This other one is for my father-in-law."
"My father-in-law is concerned about state affairs and often uses his brain."
"This one here is not for taking, but for smelling to refresh your mind."
"I think it should be able to help my father-in-law a lot."
"Okay, sir, I'll tie it for you."
"good!"
Chen gave her sachet to Yumei first, and then tied the black sachet around Fu Wenhan's waist.
The faint scent of camphor mint diffused from the sachet, which lifted the spirits of Fu Wenhan and Chen.
Fu Wenhan looked at the sachet, smiled with satisfaction and said, "Xiuzhu is thoughtful. Compared with your gift, the little New Year's money prepared by my father-in-law is really not worth mentioning."
Chen also had this feeling, always feeling that the two silver notes were a bit careless.
"Father-in-law, you're joking. It's good as long as the thought is there."
"Besides, I was penniless when I came to the Fu Mansion, but my father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't despise me and treated me like their own son. It's only right that I treat my family well."
Fu Wenhan and Chen laughed even more happily when they heard this.
"Xiuzhu is right, we are all family."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"Come on, come to the study with Dad. Dad wants to ask your opinion on something."
Li Xiuzhu's mouth twitched when he heard this.
"No way? Do we still have to work during the New Year?"
"Your Majesty, do you want to exploit our family like this?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Wenhan glared at Li Xiuzhu.
"What nonsense are you talking about? His Majesty is also your father-in-law and your father. What's wrong with doing your best for your father?"
"Yes, yes, my father-in-law is right."
At this time, Fu Yuehua also stood up and said, "Mother, let's go see our two younger sisters."
"It's getting late. We can't let the two little ones sleep any longer."
Chen nodded upon hearing this.
"Let's go, let's go see Yanyu and Baozhu."
At the same time, officials from the Ministry of Rites are also making arrangements for tomorrow's wedding.
The third day of the Lunar New Year is the day when Silla princesses Haibie and Yu Xuanji get married.
Princess Haibie of Silla was in a hurry, so Yu Xuanji had to accompany her.
At this time, the betrothal gifts and dowry have been packed, and the prince will go from the city to the post station outside the city to pick up someone to hand over the betrothal gifts and dowry tomorrow.
After the handover is completed at the post station outside the city, the person can be brought back.
Yu Xuanji's case is even simpler, because she is just a foil and will also stay at the inn today, so we will pack up and come back together.
To be honest, Yu Xuanji didn't really want to get married. After all, she was the daughter of an official family and had been well-known for her poetry and songs since childhood. But her marriage now had no sense of ceremony at all.
Even if he was the prince, she didn't want to marry him.
If I had known earlier, it would have been better to just find a decent son of an official than what is happening now.
Unfortunately, it’s too late to say anything now.
There was no way to disobey the order? Her father would not agree.
"Miss, it's getting late. We should leave now."
"Well... Cui Liu, don't go with me."
Cui Liu was startled, and immediately knelt on the ground, and quickly said: "Miss, do you not want Cui Liu anymore? Did Cui Liu do something wrong?"
"Miss, tell me what Cui Liu did wrong. I will definitely change. Please don't chase me away, okay?"
Yu Xuanji smiled bitterly when she heard this.
"What are you doing? Get up quickly, miss, I'm doing this for your own good."
Cui Liu remained motionless after hearing this.
For my own good? Liar! For my own good means you don't want me? Seeing Cui Liu not moving or speaking, Yu Xuanji explained: "You should know that you are going to be a maid."
"My happiness is gone, how can I let you lose happiness too?"
"I hope you can have your own life, your own person, and your own love, Cui Liu."
