Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.

Chapter 652: Lies told by all daughters!

Mrs. Jia Er was even more surprised because she didn't know about it yet and was slightly annoyed.

 She thought she had reached a consensus with the Li family, and they were both interested in arranging this marriage.

 But what does it mean when the Li family suddenly sends their children to study abroad?

Mr. Xing did not see his sister's face and continued: "I heard that the Li family has a small fleet that often transports seafood to Quanzhou. This time the academy rented a passenger ship and went with the Li family.

“The children of the Li family work as boatmen in their own fleet and have to work all the way. Li Jiaren and one of his younger brothers are both scholars, so that is no exception. Other boys in their family have also been there before.

"This is really rare and admirable! You know, how many scholars today can't take care of themselves except studying, which is shameful."

These words made Mrs. Jia Er immediately change her mind. It turned out that the Li family was not regretting it, but all the boys in the family had arranged it this way.

If you come back after the new year, it won’t be less than a few months...

She thought for a while and then said: "Since eldest brother thinks it's good, I will find an opportunity to go to Li's house in the next few days to ask about the miracle doctor.

"At that time, I will accompany my sister-in-law and take Wan'er to the consultation. How about I also let my sister-in-law and Wan'er take the opportunity to visit the Li family?"

Mr. Xing pondered for a moment and then nodded.

“Okay, our family doesn’t expect Wan’er to marry into a wealthy family. We only want the other party’s family to be harmonious and to treat our children well. As an aunt, you should be more careful.”

"What did you say, brother? Wan'er is just like my own daughter. Of course I have to do my best in her marriage."

Mrs. Jia Er glared at her brother with anger, and then told her sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, you have to take good care of her. If the marriage is successful, you will give Wan'er a dowry."

Mrs. Xing nodded repeatedly and responded: "Okay, I am relieved that Wan'er can marry into a good family."

After sitting for a while, Mrs. Jia Er hurried home.

 She is the head mother of the house and has a large family to take care of.

Xing Waner saw her father go to the study room in front of her, then she entered her mother's room and fed her mother ginseng soup.

Mrs. Xing held her daughter's hand and looked at her carefully. She couldn't help but her eyes turned red. "My daughter has grown up too. I still remember when you were born, you were a small ball, and we were about to kiss you in the blink of an eye."

“Mom, I’m not getting married, I’ll take care of you at home!” Xing Waner blushed and told lies that all girls told.

Mrs. Xing was funny but didn't take her seriously. She asked, "Tell me, tell me, that day in front of the dim sum shop, you were hit by that boy from the Li family. Can you tell what he looked like?"

Xing Wan'er's face turned redder and her voice became lower and lower, "Mom, I didn't dare to look carefully, even...his voice was very gentle and his behavior was very polite. It was obviously the coachman's fault, but he took the initiative to apologize to me."

 As she said this, she seemed to be lost in memories and spoke more smoothly.

"He is very tall, but neither burly nor thin. He wears a long gown, neither ostentatious nor shabby. Moreover, he loves his sister, Princess Kangle, very much. The reason why he was in such a hurry is because he heard that his sister was injured. , impatient..."

Mrs.

“If you are good at studying, gentle and polite, at least you will not do anything to your wife; it is better to love your younger sister. If you have children in the future, he will definitely love you too..."

“Mom, where did you go? I haven’t even scratched the surface. It’s better to treat you first!” Xing Waner was so embarrassed that she got up and ran away on the pretext of boiling medicine. In the courtyard of the Li family, Mrs. Li was sitting and sewing while chatting with Mrs. Wen and Huiniang, "Why is there no news from the Jia family? Jiaren has gone out, otherwise Mr. Wen would have been taken with him as an excuse to ask for advice. You can also come and have a look.”

"Auntie, we can't rush into marriage. To be honest, if that girl Wan'er is destined to be Jiaren's wife, she won't be able to escape even if it takes two months, not to mention Jiaren's trip to Quanzhou for two months." Wen The lady smiled and comforted.

Madam Hui held the needle and scratched her scalp, then continued to pick up the soles, "Yes, Auntie, you see, Brother Dayong and I were so opposed by the Yan family, but we finally got married, and our two children are now this big. It's destiny. A good marriage will definitely not escape."

 Old Mrs. Li couldn't help laughing, "You two, you are taking turns giving me reassurance!"

At this time, Jiayin came in from the outside with Grandma He, Shui Ling and Shui Yun, carrying a hand full of parcels.

"Grandma, the Marquis Mansion has prepared winter clothes and sent them over!" Jiayin went over and hugged grandma's arm, smiling and asking for credit, "I also gave grandma a long coat and a cloak, waiting for grandma to go find Jia's elders. Madam is well dressed when she plays.”

“Silly girl, grandma’s clothes are already in a cabinet, why are you making new ones?” Mrs. Li complained, but her face lit up with joy because of her granddaughter’s filial piety.

Huiniang and Mrs. Wen both stopped sewing and helped open the package.

Uncle Zhao and the others in the backyard, Doctor Zhang, Mr. Jiang from the school, Gu Li, the book boy, and even the village elders are all involved.

These winter coats are made of fine cotton and new cotton. They are not embroidered with any patterns. They are simple in style but warm. The same goes for the matching cotton shoes.

 Everyone looked at it briefly, and Mrs. Wen praised, "The needlework lady in the Hou Mansion is really amazing, her craftsmanship is really good, and her stitches are fine and smooth."

"Yes," Hui Niang also said, "There is room for the cuffs and trouser legs. If the size is not suitable, you can still leave a piece of it."

Mrs. Li was also playing with her two pieces. The more she looked at them, the more she fell in love with them. She told her granddaughter, "In addition to supplementing the reward for these needlework ladies, remember to put some snacks in the shop and thank them properly."

“Grandma, I’ve already ordered you to go down. At this moment, the silver reward and snacks have been delivered to the Marquis Mansion.” Jiayin patted her chest proudly, “Your granddaughter is doing things, and she can take good care of them!”

　　Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Mrs. Li even hugged her granddaughter and kissed her, "When my lucky girl grows up, she can be the director of the family."

Huiniang thought of the second village and asked: "Over there in the second village, have the coats and trousers of the wounded soldiers and veterans been prepared?"

There are more than 100 wounded and veteran soldiers in the second village. Their measurements were taken and entrusted to the Relief Department.

Coarse cloth and cotton are both produced by the Hou Mansion and sent to the relief department to find some work for the old and weak there and earn some wages.

 The wounded soldiers and veterans now receive monthly wages, which is enough to support themselves and there is still a lot of surplus.

They originally insisted on spending their own money to make winter clothes, but the Marquis said that he would subsidize it for the first year, and then let them pay for it themselves.

Of course, if they marry a daughter-in-law in the future, they don’t have to worry about it. There will naturally be a daughter-in-law to take care of...

As a result, the wounded and veterans are now working harder and planning to get wives as soon as possible.

Mrs. Li said: "Then I'll ask when my second brother comes back tonight. It's probably only been two days. It's already a winter moon, and it's going to snow soon. It's time to wear thick coats and trousers."

While everyone was talking, Li Laoer came over from the front yard with a face full of joy...
