Chapter 1242: Going out
Meng Yunzheng and Xiang Weinan glanced at each other and suddenly reached into the basket and took a handful of copper coins, then scattered them in the distance, shouting, "Throwing money!"
"Wow..." Who doesn't love money?
Not to mention Lu Sanzhu, even Li Shi and Liang Shi rushed over. Even Cui Hua held her son's hand and picked up two coins.
Other children also retreated from the gate and ran into the courtyard to pick up the money.
Zh...
Chapter 1241: Blocking the Door
These kids always love to join in the fun and insist on standing in the front, pretending to be very powerful.
Liang Shi said, "Not to mention them, even Da Niu and Jin Hai, both of them are honest people, they are no match for Zhao Xi. Zhao Xi brought Yun Zheng and Lord Xiang with him. These two are both talented in both literary and martial arts, they won't be troubled at all."
Old Lady Li shook her head, "It seems that having an outstand...
Chapter 1240: Impatient Zhao Xi
This time, it was a completely different experience compared to last time.
Early in the morning, Shu You was called by Ruan Shi to get up, take a bath, and dress in a bright red wedding gown, sitting in front of the dressing table.
Shu Yu did her makeup. Nowadays, the styling of the newlyweds in Jiangyuan County is no longer limited to the customs of Quanfu.
Just like the current Yiren Pavilion, there are one or two orders for br...
Chapter 1239: Shu Yu's Marriage
Tang Wenqian lay with his back to his mother. His voice was low, "Mother, I'm a bit tired and want to rest. You and Father can have the chicken soup."
Tang Wenqian's mother pursed her lips, "Are you very tired today? Is the work at the yamen too busy?"
"Mhm." Tang Wenqian seemed reluctant to say more.
Tang Wenqian's mother furrowed her brows, sensing that something was off with her son. Normally, he was gentle and patient, but today,...
Chapter 1238: Tang Wenqian's Thoughts
Meng Yunzheng told them, "Before leaving the capital, I met with him. He said his father's health probably wouldn't last much longer. Once he inherits, he will transfer you back to the capital."
He didn't mention the names of the Fifth Prince and the Emperor, but everyone present knew whom he was referring to.
If Xiang Weinan left, Xiao Shi naturally couldn't stay here.
However, if Xiang Weinan left, they didn't know who the ne...
Chapter 1237: Remarrying in Three Years
Xiao Shi's suspicion was aroused by Ren Shi's words, and now she realized that she had been misled.
Now, looking back, she realized that some things might not be as simple as she thought. She had been blinded.
Xiao Shi took a deep breath, got into the carriage, and headed straight for the county office.
As she left, the lively atmosphere at the Lu family's house continued.
The matchmaker saw that it was getting late an...
Chapter 1236: Xiao Shi's Envy
The hall was lively, and no one noticed that Xiao Shi's expression was off except for Xiang Weinan, who stood by her side, frowning.
Xiao Shi wanted to leave, but it wasn't appropriate to do so now. Her husband was here, and she could only force herself to stay and continue to endure this lively meeting between the two families.
Meng Pei's talkative and outgoing nature made it easy for him to get along with Shu Yu's grandmother, and they chat...
Chapter 1235: Is the Proposal from Meng Yunzheng?
They stood at the door talking, and the old lady coughed lightly, prompting Shu Yu to step back.
The old lady shook her head and led Meng Pei inside.
Xiao Shi instinctively retreated, moving to a corner.
Then, one proposal gift after another was carried inside, with Wang Hong and Hu Li among the people carrying them.
Xiao Shi's gaze returned to Shu You and Meng Yunzheng. In that moment, she noticed their hand...
Chapter 1234: Sorry for Being Late
Xiao Shi took a sharp breath, and even Gu Mama couldn't believe it.
So, what Shu Yu said was true, the person coming to propose is Xiang Weinan?
How could that be possible? Xiang Weinan is already married; could he be planning to have another family in Jiangyuan County while having one in the capital?
No, it's impossible. He's the honorable son of the Marquis Mansion; how could he do something so absurd?
Xiao Shi glared at Shu Yu, ...
Chapter 1233: Xiang Weinan Arrives
As Shu Yu walked over, she saw Xiao Songle holding Zhao Cai in his arms, and the chubby cat had a look of despair on its face.
Seeing the children crying, Xiao Shi was a little panicked at first, but when she looked down and saw Zhao Cai's expression, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Quan Quan and Xiao Songle immediately turned their heads and glared at her with tearful and angry eyes.
Xiao Shi, "..."
Shu Yu rubbe...
Chapter 1232: Xiao Songle Speaks
The old lady was also taken aback, "Zhao Cai?"
"Miao..." Zhao Cai elegantly walked in.
Xiao Shi looked at the cat with a hint of envy and asked the old lady, "Is this your family's cat?"
Grandma Lu felt relieved to finally have a topic to discuss. She nodded and said, "Yes, this is the cat that Ah Yu brought back. Later, when we left the county for a while, we left the cat with my daughter to take care of, but most of the time, it's...
Chapter 1231: Little Cubs
Shu Yu's smiling face stiffened slightly as she quickly realized today's date. She frowned, "Did she really come to see who proposed to me?"
Ying Xi was puzzled, "Madam Xiang? Is she the county magistrate's wife?"
Shu Yu nodded and said to Hua Xian, "Since she's here, let's go and see. Come on."
She straightened her clothes and hair, then led the way out of the garden.
Before they reached the entrance gate, they saw Lu Sixing playin...
Chapter 1230: Unscrupulous Meng Yunzheng
Ying Xi nodded, "During those two days, Young Master Meng took my brother out early in the morning, but they didn't tell me the specifics of what they were planning. It wasn't until the morning we set off that my brother suddenly said we were going to watch some excitement and then leave."
They went to a restaurant in the city, and Yao An was there.
The restaurant didn't belong to the Yao family; it was said that Yao An had been dr...
Chapter 1229: The Reason for the Late Return
Unexpectedly, Ying Xi nodded and then said in a somewhat shaky voice, "Yes, it's Yao An and Wang Jiayi."
Shu You furrowed her eyebrows, "They've returned from the capital?"
"Yes," Ying Xi nodded, "I think Yao An's injury has improved, but he still limps when walking. I don't know if it's because of the medicine Doctor Zhao used last time or if it's because he didn't fully recover before rushing back home. In any case, all three...
Chapter 1228: Ying Dong and Ying Xi Return
Gu Mama put down the carriage curtain, and the carriage driver continued to move forward.
The two horses in front started slowly, as the streets were narrow and crowded, making it easy to collide with others. However, once they turned into Fenghuai Street, the road became wider, and there were fewer pedestrians. The two horses instantly picked up speed and trotted forward.
After a while, they stopped at the entrance of the Lu fam...
Chapter 1227: Xiao Shi Visits
Hu Li quickly changed the subject, and Gu Mama couldn't press him for more information. Instead, she smiled and chatted with him while they walked towards the county office.
However, Gu Mama's mood sank to the bottom, and her expression became anxious. Today marked the half-month deadline agreed upon by County Lord and the young miss. Since morning, the young miss had been restless.
Gu Mama had suggested going to the Lu family to see if there...
Chapter 1226: Shu Yu's Anxiety
Shu Yu had a bad feeling in her heart and asked again, squinting her eyes, "What do they intend to do?"
Hu Li sighed, "The buyer owns a brothel in the capital. The higher-ups suspect that they might buy this place to train the young girls and boys who haven't been officially registered yet."
There was another point he didn't mention, but Shu Yu could probably guess it. The location and layout of the black market were excellent. In the future...
Chapter 1225: News Brought by Hu Li
Lu Sanzhu's mother understood her son well. She overheard his earlier words and immediately spoke without reservation, "What nonsense are you talking about? You just want to go back to Shishi Village to show off, right? I bet you'll also visit your in-laws. You have no shame."
Lu Sanzhu's face fell. It was clear that his mother knew him too well.
His mother continued, "If you're going to your in-laws, then go ahead. You've become the s...
Chapter 1224: Are You So Filial?
After some thought, Shu Yu recalled an incident from more than ten days ago and narrowed her eyes as she asked, "Did you resolve the matter with Cao something Lin?"
Lu Sanzhu couldn't help but roll his eyes at the mention of Cao Changlin again.
"Indeed! I knew that guy wasn't a good person. He has been dismissed by the Ji family now. Without him as a competitor, the Ji family promptly promoted me to the steward position. They said I've per...
Chapter 1223: Lu Sanzhu Becomes the Steward
Shu You felt that there were only three people in Zhao Xi's family, so why did they need such a big house? The two-story courtyard was already enough, and it was slightly larger than Third Uncle's house.
Moreover, this courtyard was relatively new and required minimal repairs before they could move in. It could be easily prepared before the wedding.
Therefore, Zhao Xi finally bought this two-story courtyard, and Lu Erbai took a ...
Chapter 1222: The Trivial Matters of the Lu Family
In the afternoon, Xiao Shi ended the banquet early. She had mainly come to chat with Shu Yu and to get to know the wealthy young lady of the county.
After the banquet, Shu Yu left with Ding Yuehua. Ding Yuehua didn't ask what Xiao Shi talked to her about. She noticed that even though Shu Yu had a smile on her face when she left the pavilion, her mood didn't seem to be high. It was clear that she had some unpleasant interaction w...
Chapter 1221: Lu Sanzhu: I'm Cunning
Lu Sanzhu was furious when he thought about it. This Cao Changlin not only wanted to harm him but also seemed to be trying to drag Shu Yu into trouble.
He clenched his fists, ready to turn around and confront Cao Changlin.
But then he remembered his original purpose for coming to Shu Yu and quickly let go of his fists. He slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot. After you left the pavilion, the county magistrate's wife was stil...
Chapter 1220: Damn it, I was set up!
Lu Sanzhu quickly took out two copper coins, looking somewhat distressed, and said to the two maids, "Excuse me, I am Village Lord Lu's third uncle. Can you help me pass on a message, saying that I have something very important to discuss with her?"
"Village Lord Lu's third uncle? Who are you kidding?" They were not impressed with just two copper coins; he seemed too stingy.
Lu Sanzhu gritted his teeth, about to take out two more coppe...
Chapter 1219: Xiao Clan's Anger
The maid hesitated, lowered her head, and whispered, "Why don't we invite village Lord Lu to come again? This time, bring him to the county office and say that Miss feels guilty about today's incident. When village Lord Lu arrives, let Mr. Tang and her stay in the same room. This way, even if they had ten mouths, they wouldn't be able to explain it clearly, and the official will surely give up."
Hearing this, Lu Sanzhu, who was hiding in the water...
Chapter 1218: 3 in the Water
Lu Sanzhu had been in the water for quite a while. The weather was getting colder, and he almost couldn't help but sneeze but managed to hold it in.
He listened carefully to the conversation happening in the pavilion. However, his expression showed that he was displeased.
"What's wrong with this new County Magistrate's wife? Does she need to meddle in Ah Yu's love life with Young Master Meng?" Lu Sanzhu thought to himself.
Of course, he...
Chapter 1217: I Don't Think It's a Good Idea
Tang's mother was still unaware that Xiang Weinan was the heir of the Marquis House in the capital, and Tang Wenqian didn't tell her about it. She believed that Xiang Weinan was merely the County Magistrate of Jiangyuan County and that he could only help her son to a limited extent. Therefore, she thought that marrying Shu Yu would be more advantageous, especially if they could get acquainted with Lord Qi.
However, before Tang Wenqian...
Chapter 1216: The Man Named Tang Wenqian
Xiao Shi cooperatively asked, "Oh? Who is Gu Mamma talking about?"
"He is someone from the same village as Township Lord Lu, Tang Wenqian, the scholar," Gu Mamma said with a smile.
Shu Yu was taken aback. Tang Wenqian? She truly didn't expect that.
She had only seen Tang Wenqian once after returning from the southwest. It was because of the dispute between Tang Wenqian's mother and Liang Shi about to her exile, and Tang Wenq...
Chapter 1215: A Suitable Match for Miss Lu
Shu Yu wanted to say that there was no rush, but Xiao Shi continued speaking, seemingly unaware of her hesitation. "When my husband and I were betrothed, I was only sixteen years old."
However, due to various reasons, the marriage was delayed by a year after the betrothal.
Later on, when Xiang Weinan came to Jiangyuan County, she was left alone in the capital city, and they didn't have many opportunities to meet.
"Ah Yu, y...
Chapter 1214: Xiao Shi's Intentions
Shu Yu felt a bit uneasy; she had assumed that Xiao Shi would be surrounded by many people wanting to talk to her, making it easy for her to slip away. However, to her surprise, Xiao Shi only spoke to her and replied briefly to others.
Xiao Shi kept holding Shu Yu's arm, making it difficult for her to break free. As time passed, everyone could tell that Xiao Shi wanted to have a private conversation with Shu Yu. Soon, the others began to wande...
Chapter 1213: Xiao Shi's Enthusiasm
Shu Yu was unaware that the incident at the moving banquet had quickly spread throughout Jiangyuan County. People now knew about her connections with high-ranking officials in the capital, including receiving birthday gifts from the emperor. The previous attention she received as a favored village official was nothing compared to the events of the moving banquet.
Soon, people started seeking her out, wanting to establish connections for variou...
