Chapter 928: The Tang Family's Olive Branch

。Jiayin poked her head out, looking a bit wilted, but she still remembered to say thank you. 。"Thank you, Butler!" "Oh, oh, Miss, you flatter me!" 。The steward bent down in response, but there was a...That night, the whole family enjoyed plump, white dumplings. 。No matter where you are, dumplings are the favorite food of northerners. 。During festive occasions, or even for any happy event, the dinner table is not considered a celebration without dumplings. 。Everyone sat in a circle, all of them full and happy. 。And it proved the saying, "It takes a village to raise a child," Ai Bei and Wen Wen ate with great delight. 。Ai Bei even kept saying that she wanted to study hard and make dumplings for Jia Xi in the future. 。Lao Tai Li and Tao Hongying and others were all happy to hear this, especially Zhao Yuru, who liked this daughter-in-law even more. 。Originally, because she was a daughter-in-law of a high status and also from a foreign country, there were still some reservations in her heart. 。Although the daughter-in-law is so good to her son, putting him first in everything, as a mother, she also understands and is willing to be better to her daughter-in-law...After dinner, it got dark. Everyone didn't keep talking to the three of Jialei, Jiaxi, and their child. They drove them back to rest well. 。The next day, after breakfast, Old Lady Li originally wanted to take her daughter-in-law and grandson to the city for a stroll. 。As a result, the Yue family, hearing that the Li family was having a big reunion, proactively went to their door to offer congratulations. 。After a while, Coral also brought Mi's mother-in-law over to deliver some fresh seafood. 。Next, Old Madam Tang came with her daughter-in-law and granddaughter to join the fun. 。It can't be helped, the Li family has to set up two tables of banquets for guests again. 。Tao Hongying went to the kitchen and gave instructions on the menu. Wenjuan and Huiniang then urged her to go and entertain the guests quickly. 。Hui Niang whispered, "Fourth Sister-in-Law, Madam Tang has always been interested in marrying her granddaughter into our family" 。Meow Ge'er is still young, and his family has arranged a marriage. They are here today to see how well he lives at home. 。Go and have a listen. You are the mother of Jia'an, after all. If Wenyu is to enter the house, she will be your daughter-in-law, so you must approve! 。"Yes, Aunt Four," 。"Wenjuan also urged, 'Anguo is so successful now, his marriage matters, you must definitely keep an eye on it.'" 。Tao Hongying was also worried in her heart. She only had one son and one daughter. Her daughter would eventually get married, and she might have to spend the rest of her life with her son and daughter-in-law. 。Though she came from a family of warriors, Wen Yu wasn't fierce or domineering. She was gentle and quiet, always smiling and speaking kindly. She was innocent and kind, clearly well-raised by her family. 。If her son likes it, she wouldn't object. 。Thinking this way, she hurried back to the guest hall. 。As expected, Old Madam Tang was holding Jia An's hand and kept praising him. 。"Oh my, this child has such thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his figure is so tall and straight. It's really a pleasure to look at." 。"A man as outstanding as he is should be this way!"

Having said that, she chided Old Mrs. Li again, "You're really heartless. If other families had such a good grandson, they'd probably want to hold him in their palms for fear of dropping him." 。"Well, you're lucky! How could you bear to let your child drift at sea for several years!" "Let me tell you, if you didn't care about it, you definitely would have told me." 。I'll take him home and treat him like the apple of my eye. 。Li Laotai heard the probing in her words, but decided to play dumb. 。Although the Tang family is in a good position and ranks among the top families in Quanzhou, forming an alliance with them would undoubtedly bring numerous benefits without any drawbacks. 。But in her heart, her grandson's happiness for a lifetime was more important. 。Then, she laughed and snatched the grandson, tucking him behind her back, and glared at him like a child having an argument. 。"Who doesn't feel sorry for children My eldest grandson, I love him so much! Just because I love him, I have the heart to let him go out and learn his skills." 。"That's a sparrow raised at home, but that soaring in the sky is an eagle!" "Good, good, you make sense now!" Old Madam Tang laughed heartily, glanced at her blushing granddaughter, and timely stopped the conversation. 。As intelligent people, a few words would suffice for the Li family to understand their own intentions. It's best not to say more, otherwise, the marriage won't go through, and it will also affect the granddaughter's reputation if it gets spread around. 。However, she was still a little anxious. 。 This kid, Jia An, is really the best choice for a son-in-law. 。Having a steady and easy-going personality, good looks, and being tall. 。This time, I brought back eight foreign envoys to pay homage. The court will definitely have rewards, at least a fifth-rank official. 。Don't underestimate the rank of fifth grade, after all, before Jia An was just a handyman in the Foreign Affairs Office, and he wasn't even ranked. 。And how old is he now The road ahead is long. With the Li family as his foundation, his path to success will surely be wide and smooth. 。Such a good son-in-law, if not grabbed quickly, I'm afraid that after some time going back to Xin Du, the matchmaker would stomp on Li's doorstep. 。Thinking this way, Old Madam Tang, despite her shamelessness, pushed her granddaughter again. 。"Wenyù, didn't you sew a scarf for Grandma Li Take it out and let Grandma Li have a look. Does she like it"Tang Dafu was somewhat arrogant and didn't want her mother-in-law to be too proactive, but today, seeing Jiā'ān with her own eyes, she was also satisfied. 。Thus, at this moment, she難得ly supported her daughter and smiled, “Yes, don’t be afraid of losing face, the intention is important.” 。" Wen Yu's face flushed even redder, but she still walked forward gracefully, taking a box from her maid's hand behind her, and presented it to Li Lao Tai with both hands. 。"Grandma Li, the sea wind here is very strong. I was thinking about what you said last time about having a headache, so I embroidered this headband for you." 。"I hope you won't find it objectionable!"

"Not objectionable, not objectionable!" Old Lady Li beamed and took the box 。She took out the handkerchief and examined it carefully. The crimson silk was embroidered with plum blossom patterns, the workmanship exquisite, each stitch fine and dense. 。It is evident that the Tang family has been very dedicated to their children's upbringing. They have not spoiled her to the point of being unwilling for her to learn skills. 。"Thank you, Yuwen. This embroidery is wonderful, I love it." 。"Li Laotai was touched by the little girl's kindness, and Tang Family's decisive olive branch." 。She thought about it for a moment, and still gave a little bit of feedback. 。"When the opportunity arises, if Yuwen goes to Xindu, be sure to spend more time with our Funiu." 。Let's also shame that lazybones at home a bit. Her needlework is nowhere near as good as Jade Wen's. 。"

Yuwén's smile was gentle and shy. He replied, "Everyone has their own strengths." 。The county princess may not be as skilled in needlework as I am, but when it comes to business, she surpasses me by ten streets. 。"I like the snacks in between the clouds too. Usually when I go there, business is booming." 。It is said that the county princess recently opened a fruit and vegetable shop and a hot pot restaurant in Xindu, making a fortune every day. 。"Even now, I still receive pocket money from my elders and have never earned a single penny myself." 。Hearing her granddaughter being praised, Old Li smiled even wider. 。Even Jiā'ān couldn't help but steal a glance at Yǔwén. Coincidentally, Yǔwén looked up, and when their eyes met, both blushed before quickly looking away. 。Everyone naturally saw it and didn't want the two children to be even more embarrassed. 。And just to be safe, this matter needs to be carefully considered before a decision is made. 。Then, Zhao Yuru changed the subject and introduced Ai Bei to everyone. 。As expected, the exotic queen Abe immediately captivated everyone's attention. 。Though Tian Wu women's status wasn't low, they still couldn't escape the fate of being appendages to men. 。Besides princesses and countesses, who had titles, the rest of the women were not free. 。People from poor families have to work tirelessly, both inside and outside the home. They are even abused and humiliated by their in-laws and husbands. 。Even those from wealthy and influential families, almost all of them were kept confined to the inner courtyard from birth, finding it difficult even to step outside. 。Even if you get married, it's just like moving from one backyard to another. 。a Er reached out and patted the jade gourd, delighted. She smiled softly, "Wouldn't that mean we got to eat this year's jade gourd before even the Emperor" 。" Mrs. Liu also smiled, “I will definitely...
