Since Liu Wanyun and the other two came out of confinement, they have been taking care of their children while slowly starting to manage their shop again.
At the same time, they also have to help Ruyi plan the wedding.
After a year of accumulation, Jinxiufang has trained a group of outstanding apprentices, one of whom is Xiaohong.
Aside from some particularly delicate and particular crafts, these people could handle most of the work in the silk shop. To test their skills, Liu Wanyun paid them to embroider a wedding dress within a month. Of course, this was done secretly, as she planned to give Ruyi a surprise as a thank you for her help during this period.
In the blink of an eye, it was August 14th. When Liu Wanyun and the other two presented Shen Ruyi with the dowry they had carefully prepared, she was deeply moved.
"Sisters-in-law, you are so kind to me!"
What moved her even more was that when they got married the next day, Xie Bufan came to pick up the bride and took her sedan chair around Puning City, announcing to everyone in the city that he, Xie Bufan, had married.
However, when the sedan chair passed by the county magistrate's mansion, a small incident occurred. A group of people stopped Xie Bufan and not only asked him to distribute wedding candies, but also asked him to write a poem to praise the bride.
Although Xie Bufan is more reliable now, he still lacks literary talent. He was forced into a corner and suddenly found Master Lu standing in an inconspicuous place at the door. He immediately understood what was going on.
He stepped forward, patted Master Lu on the shoulder, and whispered, "Master Lu, thank you very much for letting me go. It's my fault for striking first. Now that it's a done deal, please don't embarrass me."
The crowd of onlookers started to jeer, "Why not let Master Lu write a song for you?"
Xie Bufan said with a smile, "That's not necessary!"
The next second, he mounted his horse and flicked the whip in his hand. "If you try to stop me again, don't blame me for being rude!"
Now, he has taken over Guan Xiaochun's position and is an official constable of the county government. Although his fighting skills are not very high and he is still training hard, he is smart and manages the security of the west city well with his clever words.
In addition, he is the son of Xie Dianshi, and he used to have a group of friends who supported him. He was doing well, so everyone had to give him some face.
When the group of people saw that he had put away his smile and didn't seem to be joking, they didn't dare to stop him. After all, it was someone's wedding and it would be bad to cause embarrassment.
Everyone smiled and made way. Master Lu looked at the bridal sedan chair going away and said sadly, "I wish you happiness for the rest of your life!"
…
Seeing her sisters-in-law give Ruyi a wedding dress and arrange her wedding even more lavishly than her own, Ruonan felt a little disappointed, thinking she wasn't as pleasing to them as Ruyi. But she quickly dismissed the thought, even thinking she was being too petty.
Originally, Zhang Changan came to look after the pregnant women in the mansion. After Liu Wanyun and the other two gave birth and finished the confinement period, they should have returned to their own homes.
But considering that Ruonan was pregnant, she would definitely not be as comfortable living in the Zhang family as she was in the Shen family. In addition, Chen Yao fell ill once, so Zhang Changan stayed in the house and no one suggested letting him go home.
It was not until Ruyi got married that Liu Wanyun brought up the matter at the dinner table with everyone present.
"I have something to ask Grandfather and Auntie. We have seven babies in our house, plus the old man, a total of eight people. They all need careful care and can easily get sick. Instead of going out to find a doctor, I think it would be better to hire Doctor Zhang as the family physician."
"Firstly, when someone in the mansion is sick, there is always a doctor; secondly, Doctor Zhang is one of us, and we trust him. His medical skills are also proven by everyone."
As for the third option, Ruonan can also follow and live in the mansion to take care of her pregnancy and give birth, without having to go back to the Zhang family.
There was no need to say this out loud, as most people present could guess what she meant. Aunt Zhao and Ruonan looked at her with gratitude.
But now Mrs. Shen didn't want to care about anything in the mansion. She neither watched over her son's yard nor interfered with the affairs of her grandchildren. Her mind was entirely on her daughter. She came to the dining hall to eat because Shen Yao fell asleep.
After hearing Liu Wanyun's words, she didn't even raise her head and said without hesitation, "You don't need to ask us about these things in the future. Just arrange them directly."
Old Master Shen was also at the dinner table, his face full of praise, "My grandson's wife is very thoughtful!"
He was quite satisfied with his granddaughter-in-law who could make boiled fish. He was not angry at all when she refused to give his great-grandson a name.
He was also wondering when he could ask his granddaughter-in-law to make boiled fish for him again.
As for Master Shen, he had nothing to say about this arrangement. With so many more people in the mansion, he was both happy and under pressure. Fortunately, his family was well-off, so for the extra expenses, hiring one more doctor was not a big deal.
He nodded in agreement, "This arrangement made by my eldest daughter-in-law is very reasonable."
In this way, compared to Ruyi's wedding, Ruonan felt that it was so wonderful to be able to live in her parents' home for a long time, and her heart was immediately balanced.
…
After Ruyi got married, she still came to help manage Jinxiufang, and the matter of opening a girls' school proposed by Liu Wanyun before was finally put on the agenda.
Jinxiufang has a special room for teaching apprentices. Ruyi is responsible for teaching painting, Xiaoyu is responsible for teaching martial arts, Wanyun is responsible for teaching makeup and dressing, Xinyue is responsible for teaching some simple medical knowledge, and Du Ruoxuan is responsible for teaching reading and writing.
Du Ruoxuan has not been pregnant since she got married. Madam Ma has been talking about it every day and even thought about taking a concubine for Ma Fen, but due to the pressure from Madam Du, she has never dared to act.
Du Ruoxuan was also under a lot of pressure. When Liu Wanyun came to her and asked her to help teach people to read and write at the music school, she readily agreed.
"I hope I can share your good luck and see if I can get pregnant someday!"
Liu Wanyun comforted her, "You can't keep thinking about this. Relax and the baby will come naturally."
Secretly, he sent Zhang Chang'an to secretly treat Ma Fen. It turned out that Ma Fen was born with insufficient kidney energy, and then he prescribed him a lot of medicine to regulate his body.
Everything seemed to be going in a good direction. As the end of the year approached, Liu Wanyun was busy preparing for the New Year.
Suddenly a servant came to report that Mrs. Lu was here to visit!
Ever since Miss Lu "fell off a cliff" and disappeared, Mrs. Lu has been depressed. Every month when she went to the county magistrate's office to report to her about the affairs of Jinxiufang, she would send Liu Wanyun away with a few words, and sometimes she was too lazy to even listen.
Now he actually came to the Shen Mansion in person, which made Liu Wanyun have a bad feeling in her heart.
Is he here to call for punishment?
But Senior Brother Xiaochun is from the Yunhe Martial Arts School, so if we want to hold him accountable, we can’t ask the Shen family!
When she welcomed the person to her courtyard, Mrs. Lu immediately gave her a big bow.
