Chapter 505 Extra: The Nangong Family Arrives in Wutong Village
The Nangong family head and his entourage brought a lot of betrothal gifts, making for a very impressive procession that attracted the attention of many.
Not wanting anything to go wrong on the way, Lin Luoxi released the white tiger and had Lin Yi and the others escort it.
Even if some fools tried to rob the betrothal gifts brought by the government, they were all killed by Baihu and Lin Yi.
On Lin Luoxi's side, no one was injured or killed, and all their belongings were intact.
Along the way, the Nangong family finally witnessed Lin Luoxi's true strength firsthand. Besides marveling at it, they were also glad to have married such a formidable opponent.
The group traveled for three days and two nights before finally arriving in Quanzhou.
The group, in twenty horse-drawn carriages, had just entered Quanzhou when they could feel the smoothness of the city's roads.
"Mother, look! This is Quanzhou!" Nangong Chuying lifted the carriage curtain and looked at the scenery within the territory of Quanzhou. It was so beautiful that she exclaimed in surprise.
In Lingnan, thatched houses are ubiquitous, but here you can hardly see any; all the houses are made of blue bricks and have large tiled roofs.
In Quanzhou, the villagers rarely wore patched clothes; they all wore clean linen clothing, and every villager's face was filled with a happy smile.
Everyone had a rosy complexion, which showed that they were living a good life.
"Yes, this place is really different from other places." Madam Nangong could see the scene outside through the carriage curtain and had to admire Lin Luoxi's management skills.
As the head of the Nangong family rode on his horse, the view became even more expansive, and his heart was filled with admiration for Lin Luoxi.
He, a grown man, managed to create chaos and disorder in managing the Nangong family, while Lin Luoxi, managing such a large state, ensured that all the people were well-fed, clothed, and united in friendship. He couldn't help but admire her abilities, which further strengthened his determination to settle here.
After another day of travel, the main group finally arrived at Wutong Village.
"Mother, this is Princess Changping's hometown..." Looking at the beautiful village surrounded by colorful flowers and plants, Nangong Chuying wished she could jump off the carriage and properly appreciate the beauty of Wutong Village.
"It should be." Lin Luoxi, who was leading the way, had already started the carriage heading towards Wutong Village, which meant that this should be the village where Princess Changping lived.
So beautiful, every town and city should be beautiful.
As soon as Nangong Mobai saw that the carriage had arrived at the entrance of Wutong Village, he couldn't wait to ride his horse and head towards Lin Luoxi's house.
He hadn't seen his sweetheart for a month, and now that he was in the village, he couldn't contain himself any longer.
Having received the news early on, Wang Yurou and Su Ning, the two mothers-in-law, along with Lin Lingtian, Su Xueer, and others, were all ready to go as soon as they heard that the Nangong family had come to propose marriage. Now, as soon as they saw the carriage enter the village, they all stood at the gate of their courtyard waiting.
Lin Dayou has been well-trained by Su Ning over the past few years, and he's become less of a slacker. Dressed neatly, he stands beside Su Ning, joining in the welcoming of the Nangong family.
"Father, Mother, these are my father and mother..." Nangong Mobai led Lin Luoning and introduced Lin Dayou and Su Ning, Wang Yurou and Xiao Jingteng to the Nangong family head and Madam, who had just gotten off the carriage and were a little confused when they saw so many people coming out to greet them.
On the way here, Lin Luoxi had already told the Nangong couple about her family situation, so when the Nangong couple heard Nangong Mobai introduce these people, they didn't show much shock on their faces, but greeted them with smiles.
Although they didn't show any shock on the surface, they were actually terrified inside. They never expected their future daughter-in-law to have such a powerful background.
Both sets of parents were very satisfied with their meeting, and in the end, they decided to host the Nangong family at Wang Yurou's residence.
Seeing that both sets of parents were discussing their children's relationship, Lin Luoxi went back to prepare ingredients and had the servants move seafood and other ingredients to Wang Yurou's house to entertain distinguished guests later.
Madam Nangong, being an experienced woman, immediately noticed that something was wrong with Lin Luoning.
She summoned Nangong Mobai, and upon learning that Lin Luoning was already three months pregnant with their Nangong family's child, she was so angry that she reached out and grabbed Nangong Mobai's ear.
"You, Nangong Mobai, your father and I sent you out to make your way in the world for a few years, and you've completely forgotten all sense of propriety and shame."
"Not only did you get that girl pregnant, but you didn't even tell us. Are you planning to shirk responsibility? Just you wait, I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget..."
However, in Wutong Village, Madam Nangong whispered a threat in Nangong Mobai's ear.
Then, she quickened her pace and whispered a few words in her man's ear.
The head of the Nangong family also looked grim. He turned around and stared at Nangong Mobai with a death stare. Realizing that they were now in their in-laws' home, he quickly composed himself.
That damned brat dared to sleep with Princess Changping's sister, the daughter of the Prince Xiaoyao's wife, but didn't dare admit it. He really deserves to be taught a lesson.
If those two important figures were to get angry, the Nangong family would no longer exist in this world.
That's great! I'll definitely give him a taste of mixed doubles when the time comes.
After having lunch at Wang Yurou's place, the two families began discussing the betrothal arrangements.
Knowing that his son owed Lin Luoning, the head of the Nangong family had originally prepared a betrothal gift of ten million taels of silver.
Upon learning that his future daughter-in-law was carrying his son's child, the dowry doubled.
At the same time, the couple expressed their apologies to Wang Yurou, Lin Dayou, and Su Ning in a very polite manner.
As for why they apologized, both parties understood, but premarital pregnancy is still considered unpleasant, so they didn't discuss right or wrong on this matter, as long as they knew that both parties had a good attitude.
Both families were well-off and attached great importance to the two children's marriage. It took them an entire afternoon to finalize the betrothal gifts, dowry, and auspicious wedding date for Lin Luoning and Nangong Mobai.
Dinner was a seafood feast prepared at Lin Luoxi's request.
"My goodness, these seafood are huge!" Madam Nangong exclaimed, looking at the seafood that was as thick as her arm.
They live in the Lingnan area and can often eat seafood, but the seafood there isn't as big or as varied.
So seeing so many varieties of seafood on someone else's dining table, Madam Nangong was inevitably shocked.
"These were all salvaged from the deep sea by the sailing teams when they went out to sea, so they are naturally larger..." Lin Luoxi directly attributed the large size of the seafood to the sailing teams.
"No wonder, we also have seafood in Lingnan, but it's all caught by fishermen near the coast, so the size isn't this big..."
After Madam Nangong finished speaking, she reached out, picked up a lobster that was thicker than her wrist, and began to peel it skillfully.
Large seafood is indeed delicious, especially when paired with Lin's dipping sauce, the taste is absolutely amazing.
