A month later, the owner of Long Manor invited his two sisters-in-law and two aunts of the Long family, brought Jiang the matchmaker and three carriages of gifts to go to Taohua Village.
It took a group of people seven days to reach Anping Town.
Peach Blossom Village.
"Grandpa, master, the Long family has arranged an inn and they will come early tomorrow morning." Bai Yi said to Old Man Yang, Yang Zhongyi.
"I understand. Please ask someone to prepare wine and food for tomorrow. I will ask the village chief to come and help." Yang Zhongyi said to Bai Yi.
"Yes, sir!" After Bai Yi said that, he went to find someone to purchase.
Yang Zhongyi came to the village chief's house, where the village chief was having lunch.
"Zhongyi, what do you want to talk to me about?" Village Chief Yang asked Yang Zhongyi.
"Uncle, the people from the Long family who are going to give the betrothal gifts will arrive in Taohua Village tomorrow. I came here to ask you to help find a few people to help." Yang Zhongyi stated the purpose of his visit.
"Okay, I'll take care of this." Village chief Yang was happy for Qingman when he heard that it was the day for her to pay her betrothal gift.
"Thank you very much, uncle. I will set up a few tables tomorrow and invite the villagers to have dinner. Those with bad character will not be invited tomorrow. After all, tomorrow is a big day and it would not be good if the relatives of the Long family come over and something unpleasant happens. I need your help to check this." Yang Zhongyi said to Village Chief Yang.
"That's no problem! Leave it to me with confidence, I will definitely help you check it." Village Chief Yang said with assurance.
"Thank you, uncle. I will go back and not disturb you anymore." After saying this, Yang Zhongyi left the village chief's house and returned to his own home.
In the evening, the Yang family returned together. During dinner, Yang Zhongyi spoke.
"Qingman, the person from the Long family who gave the betrothal gift has already settled down in Anping Town and will be here tomorrow. You should get a good rest tonight and be refreshed enough to entertain the Long family."
"They're here so soon?" Yang Qingman started to get nervous again when she heard that the Long family was coming.
"Qingman, it seems like you don't want to get married. How about we not accept the betrothal gift tomorrow and call off the engagement?" Yang Zhongyi was actually nervous. What if he didn't want to marry his daughter? Or marrying her so far away that it would be difficult to even see her. Now that he heard his daughter say this, he immediately urged Qingman to cancel the engagement.
"Yang Zhongyi!"
"Husband!"
"father!"
The Yang family members at the dinner table screamed and shouted angrily.
"Dad, how could you do this? My eldest sister has found a good home, why do you want to ruin it?" Yang Youxue said helplessly. Her father simply didn't want his daughter to get married, and wanted to keep her at home for the rest of her life.
"Yang Zhongyi, you're itching, aren't you? You actually dared to encourage Qingman to break off the engagement. You think we're too old for mixed doubles to do anything to you, right?" Lv Guihua scolded Yang Zhongyi. How could she have given birth to such a jerk who actually wanted to encourage her daughter not to marry? It really pissed her off.
"Mom, I was wrong." Yang Zhongyi saw his mother was angry and quickly apologized! He also knew he was wrong. His daughter was grown up and would definitely get married. Since the Long family was good and his daughter liked Long Ting, the best outcome for them was to be together.
"Okay, we still have to entertain guests tomorrow. Everyone should eat quickly and rest early so that you will have the energy to entertain the Long family tomorrow. Tomorrow, everyone should stay at home to help entertain the guests." said old man Yang.
"Yes, Dad (Grandpa)!" said the Yang family.
After dinner, everyone dispersed.
Yang Qingyao and Bai Jian returned to their room, and Bai Jian went to fetch water for Yang Qingyao to take a bath. These past few days, Yang Qingyao felt physically tired, and sometimes her eyes were particularly sleepy, as if she could never get enough sleep.
Bai Jian turned on the water, carried Yang Qingyao to the bathtub, helped her rinse clean, and carried her to bed to sleep.
Bai Jian looked at Yang Qingyao with some worry. He felt that Qingyao seemed to be sick. After the Long family left, he would let his fifth sister check on the lady before he felt at ease.
Yang Youxue returned to her room to continue making medicine. Today, she received news from the secret guards that they had gathered in the capital. As long as the main family of the Wu family in the capital was destroyed, there would no longer be an imperial merchant family, the Wu family, in Qingxuan Kingdom.
Ever since Yang Qingman heard that the Long family had arrived in Anping Town, her heart has been in turmoil and she has been extremely nervous.
The next day, after the Yang family had finished breakfast, the village chief brought a few women to help. The Yang Family Restaurant in Anping Town was closed for the day and came to Taohua Village to help the master with the banquet.
At the time of Si, the sister-in-law and aunt of the Long family came to Taohua Village with the betrothal gifts and the matchmaker Jiang.
"Welcome! I am Qingman's grandmother. May I know what your names are?" Lu Guihua waited for the carriage to stop. Four women got off the carriage and introduced themselves enthusiastically.
"My dear relatives, we two are the cousins-in-law of the owner of the manor, and they are the aunts of the two owners of the manor." said the cousin-in-law of the owner of the manor, Long.
"It's my aunt and sister-in-law. Let's go inside and talk." Lu Guihua led the Long family into the yard and took them to the hall to greet them.
"Qingman, come here!" Lu Guihua called Yang Qingman over to greet the guests.
"Yes, grandma!" Yang Qingman came to her grandma's side.
"Qingman, these two are Long Ting's aunts, and these two are his aunts-in-law!" Lu Guihua introduced to Yang Qingman.
"Qingman greets aunt and uncle!" Yang Qingman greeted Long Ting's aunt and uncle.
"You are Qingman, you are so beautiful that the moon and flowers are ashamed of each other, and you are graceful and elegant. Long Ting is so lucky!" One of Long Ting's aunts praised Yang Qingman.
"Aunt is the most beautiful woman. Qingman dare not take credit for it." Yang Qingman praised her aunt in a tactful way.
"Qingman is really good at talking." The aunt said happily.
