After dinner, the father and son took Dong Cheng and Guo Dake and their son to Qingshui Bank together.
In fact, Guo Dake and the others went to the bathhouse in town to wash themselves before coming here, but they couldn't live up to their arrangements.
Fortunately, I came, otherwise I would have felt a loss!
Bucket soaking, mud rubbing, scraping, cupping, etc. are nothing new and can be found in the bathhouses in town.
The good thing is that after washing, you can lie down comfortably on the hot bed and have someone give you a massage. They all look fair and clean, and they don't look like workers, but their hands are really strong.
After half an hour, they stood up after pressing the button, and both of them kept praising——
"This place is really nice."
"You still have to have money. If you have money, you can enjoy everything. I can enjoy it for ten or twenty years this time."
"Uncle Dong is so uninterested. If Shuanzi is admitted as a scholar next year, he won't be able to boast about it for half his life?" Luozi joked with a smile.
Dong Cheng shook his head seriously and pointed out a finger.
"No, no, no, I have to blow it for the rest of my life. That's the smoke coming out of my ancestral grave."
"Pfft——" Li Heng couldn't hold it back and chuckled.
Li Huai also laughed happily, "Giggle..." and picked up a piece of fruit and handed it to Guo Dake.
Everyone laughed and joked, ate some fruits and lay down on the hot Kang.
Not long after, Guo Dake and his son and Dong Chengcheng fell asleep. Li Huai fell asleep next to the roller.
For the three of them, Fucheng in the north was the farthest place they had traveled. They were afraid of missing the date, so they set out a few days in advance, and they didn't dare to rest much on the way. They were really tired.
Li Heng listened to their even breathing, found a few small quilts, and put them on them to avoid catching cold.
After doing this, he came to Li Hui's side and lowered his voice:
"Dad, did you and my mother give instructions for Luozi to go to the capital with me?"
"Your mother asked when she returned to the village, is there any problem? If so, let him be in the military camp in the north. But my idea is to let him go. After all, he is tenacious and comes from a peasant family, so he is most likely to achieve results.
"
"I know, I'm just afraid that if he doesn't want to go on his own initiative, if he backs out..."
"That won't happen." Li Hui shook his head, looked at the cautious eldest son with a smile, and said with satisfaction, "It's a good thing that you consider the problem so comprehensively, but you should understand your bare-butted baby, he is not someone willing to give up. Plus, you should understand that he is not willing to give up.
His brother is engaged to your cousin again, please help if you can."
Li Heng naturally understands this truth, and he also wants to bring his playmates to Beijing. Now that his father is guaranteeing it, he doesn't have to worry.
"Okay dad, I know what to do. When we go to the capital and pass by Wanghe Village, I will mention it to His Highness and go to the village to choose first. It would be best if you can take them all away, but if you can't take them away, you can only
Dad is worried."
Li Hui's special promotion of the recovery of lost territory by the troops stationed in the north in the spring, and the fact that the imperial court gave extremely generous awards to the soldiers who died in southern Xinjiang, now the common people are no longer as resistant to the "military camps" as before.
In the past, yamen officials were either the county magistrate's brother-in-law, or the grand-nephew of someone's seventh uncle. Nowadays, the standards for yamen officials announced by the northern state capital are all those who have served in the military first, which also gives ordinary people hope.
The first to bear the brunt was the Li family of Wanghe Village.
Guarding a person with such a big connection like Li Hui must not be wasted.
"By the way, Dad, Grandpa Xiao said that the Ministry of War is planning to launch a martial arts test, and my son wants to try it."
"Okay, you can do whatever you want. Dad and your mother won't stop you, as long as you want."
After Li Hui finished speaking, he raised his hand and brushed his hair twice.
"Dad treats me like a tiger again."
Seeing Li Heng's unhappy look, Li Hui smiled and shrugged.
"You have grown up in the blink of an eye. When you go to the capital, don't just focus on training. When you have time, go to the Pang family and see Mr. Pang. Buy some small items for Pang Yao from time to time. It doesn't have to be too expensive. Just have the heart. I understand.
?"
Li Heng blushed with shame when he heard this, but he had to nod.
"I know dad, I will do it."
"Remember, the most important thing for two people to get along with each other is to be honest. 'Henpecked' is not a derogatory term, and there is nothing wrong with 'listening to your wife's words. Dad has listened to your mother since he was a child."
Seeing such a frank father, Li Heng nodded with a smile and agreed...
…
Yu Huai's family and Yu Zhao's family arrived the night before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Yu Fang's family didn't come, but they added a lot of makeup.
When Yu Wan saw Guo Dake and his son, his face became a little hot, and he quickly went to the side to chat with Li Yue.
It had long been decided to play outside during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so Cheng Xue did not hide it from them. She informed them of the arrangements for the Mid-Autumn Festival and asked Bai Wei to prepare an extra sheep.
Although the status of the third prince is very valuable, everyone understands the principle of "the guest follows the host", even if Huai is senior.
"Don't worry, Tiedan. We will all follow the arrangements. We will do whatever you say."
"Yes, Xue Niang, none of us said anything."
Naturally, no one else said anything about Yu Huai and his wife's statement. Guo Dake knew that his son was going to Beijing with the third prince, and he was eager to be asked a few questions tomorrow. However, he never thought of taking the initiative himself. After all, he was a prince, and ordinary people would not want to see him.
possible!
The place was chosen at the foot of Huwei Mountain. Dexi and the others would go there early tomorrow morning to deal with the site and set up tents.
The stove, table, silver charcoal, etc. are all ready-made. Just pull them over in two cars in advance. As for the meat skewers, they will be skewered tomorrow. Anyway, there are many people in the family. Two whole suckling sheep plus stewed river fish will make this meal
The meal is absolutely sumptuous.
The men drank and dispersed slowly. Cheng Xue first took Yu Wan, Liu, and Wang's mother and daughter to Li Yue's courtyard to talk. Yu Wan slept with her eldest niece as usual, and Li Tian also went here at night, and her courtyard was completely empty.
Come out to the Liu family, the Wang family, and Yu Yingjie and Li Huai, there is no suspense about this.
Yu Wan took the lead in handing over her accessories to Li Yue, which were a pair of red gold earrings and a not too thin gold bracelet. There were no carvings, just a half centimeter thick gold ring surrounding the table.
As simple as you want.
Li Yue knew about gold jewelry, and when he took the bracelet and weighed it, he knew it was not light.
"Sister-in-law, this is too heavy."
"It should be." Yu Wan blinked at her, saying nothing.
Now she is responsible for keeping accounts of the family's income, and her parents will also give her taels of silver every month. When she meets Dongzi Caiba Garden, she can also get 5 taels or 10 taels when settling the account. This is all because of other people's help.
Can't forget.
Mrs. Liu took out the makeup she had prepared and handed it to Li Yue.
"My uncle and your uncle didn't prepare any jewelry, so you can keep the fifty taels of silver at the bottom of the box. Your second uncle will also give you fifty taels of silver, and you can keep them at the bottom of the box. Your third uncle has a set.
See if you like the red gold jewelry. He went to Pingyang County to buy it."
Because of Cheng Xue, the Yu family has made a lot of money growing Dongzi vegetables in the past two years. These additions are nothing to them. Yu Xuan's share was obviously helped by the old couple...
