Chapter Nine Hundred and Fifteen: A Celebration Long Awaited

elp but sigh: "The children have really grown up, they can all stand on their own."Li Lao Si nodded and after a moment added, "Second Brother, this time I owe an apology to Jia Yi. He probably won't b..."Oh dear, that's settled then. I'm getting anxious!" General Tang was the first to speak, exclaiming directly, "If we dawdle any longer, the food and drinks will get cold!"

Everyone burst into laughter and began to advise him.

"Yes, Dr. Sun, with such a good daughter and son-in-law, you should quickly accept them."

"Doctor Sun, you've suffered in the first half of your life. Now it's time to enjoy yourself in the second half."

"Yes, let the children get up quickly."

Doctor Sun wiped away a tear and pulled out a cloth bag from his bosom. He carefully opened it layer by layer, until finally two jade plaques were revealed.

The jade's quality was not particularly exceptional, nor was the craftsmanship outstanding. However, it was evident that Dr. Sun highly valued it.

He choked back sobs and said, “This was bought when my wife and I got married. I originally planned to pass it down to our children, but fate didn't give us any children. My wife also passed away long ago.”

"Heaven has blessed me. At my age, I have both a daughter and a son-in-law. I'm so happy."

"These jade pendants aren't valuable, but they come from my heart. If you don't mind them, please accept them as a gift. Consider it a welcome present from your useless godfather."

Jia Yi immediately took it and broke a piece for Shan Hong. Then, the two of them bowed together again.

"Alright, alright! The good news is done!"

"Congratulations to Coral Girl for finding a good home!"

"Yes, we must drink a few more cups today!"

Everyone was bustling with excitement, celebrating. Then the banquet was set up.

It is said that all the dishes were personally cooked by Tao Hongying, Zhao Yuru and others. General Tang and others were surprised and their admiration for the Li family grew even stronger.

With elders being wise and juniors being filial, how could life not be good

It was still the main house with three rooms, set up with three tables for a banquet.

Men of all ages were in the main hall, while in the east room, Li LaoTai and Tao Hongying, Mrs. Wen, Liu Saozi, Hui Niang, etc., were keeping company with Madam Tang and Madam Yue and other female guests.

Xi Wuyue was accompanied by Zhao Yuru and Wenjuan, as well as Coral Girl, Linglang Girl, and Wenyu. At the foot of the kang

there was a small square table, and Xiao Dong and other maidservants were taking care of the children as they ate.

The servants who followed the Tang and Yue families were also led to the side rooms, where they ate some hot food to fill their stomachs.

For a while, both inside and outside the house, it was bustling with activity.

Although Dr. Sun just "took office", Coral has a family now.

Li Zhensheng simply opened his mouth and discussed the matter of the children's marriage with Yuejia and Sun Daifu.

Liu Biatou did not come to Sui Jintan.

Old Mrs. Li had already made arrangements with Liu's wife. Since Jia Yi and Liu Yang were getting married together, both brides would be brought into the courtyard of Li's house.

After that, the two young couples wanted to move out and live separately whenever they wished.

Of course, Liu's wife was delighted.

She and Liu Biantou were both ordinary people, and they didn't feel capable of adding glory to their son's face.

It's wonderful that the Li family is willing to support Liu Yang!

Yue Yuanwai was also beaming with a smile. The Li family was indeed a golden thigh.

Li Zhensheng took the initiative to invite him, so he naturally had to hurry and hug him.

General Tang was also thinking about his two young generals, hoping they would quickly marry and have children.

Only when their roots were planted in Quanzhou could the Hailing Army truly be considered settled!

The sedan chair is carried by many people!

Thus, amidst the cheers and laughter of everyone, the betrothal day was set for February 18th, and the wedding day for March 26th.

It was a bit rushed, actually.

But coral was only staying temporarily, so it wasn't good to drag things out too long.

Li Lao Tai was also looking forward to this major event being settled, perhaps she could return to Xindu sooner.

She missed the old house by Suijin Beach, her son and grandchildren, the little things in her village and beyond, but most of all, she missed her precious granddaughter!

During the day she was busy and noisy, but at night when it got quiet, she missed her granddaughter.

She practically grew up on her fingertips, never leaving her sight.

Now that I'm so far away, I wonder if anyone has been bullying my granddaughter.

Her heart, every night she wished it could be deep-fried in a cauldron of oil ten thousand times...

As the sun began to set, the guests one by one bid farewell.

The Tang and Yue families left their homes first, perhaps knowing that the family intended to ally with the Li family. Yumen proactively made an appointment with Coral and Linlang to go shopping a few days later.

Both Coral and Ling were delighted to agree.

After all, the three of them might become sisters-in-law someday...

The last to leave was Dr. Sun, who was so overjoyed that he had drunk two extra cups and was a little tipsy.

Li's family arranged a carriage, and Jia Yi sent Dr. Sun back to the military camp.

Coral had originally intended to tidy up a room in the courtyard for her adoptive father, so he could rest there for a few days.

But Dr. Sun didn't want to trouble the child and insisted on returning to the military camp.

Jīyì and Shāorán didn't insist either, the elderly are happy that's all that matters...

The Li family was bustling with activity, buying things and preparing for the dowry.

Soon, the whole city of Quanzhou knew about it.

Liu Yang married a girl from the Yue family. It's nothing special.

The Liu family wasn't from a noble background, but Liu Yang was ambitious. He married into the wealthy merchant family of Pei Yue, a mutually beneficial arrangement where both sides gained what they needed.

But Li Jia-yi marrying an orphan was shocking.

Li JiaYi was not born with superhuman strength nor illustrious military exploits. He was highly regarded within the HaiLan army for his unknown reasons.

The Li family are the new darlings of Tianwu!

Li Jia Yi is the second son of the Earl's Mansion!

To be honest, in Quanzhou City, only the Tang family's daughter was worthy of him.

She wasn't even a match for the daughters of the governor!

Previously, rumors spread about Lee Chia-yi and Hong Jia's only daughter. Everyone treated it as gossip.

Even after the Hong family girl was taken out of the military camp by the Li family, everyone speculated that the Li family intended to take her as a concubine.

The result, as it turned out, was completely unexpected, shocking everyone.

The Li family not only agreed to marry the only daughter of the Hong family as their legitimate wife, but also allowed the Hong family's daughter to recognize an old military doctor as her godfather!

Shouldn't a family like the Lis find a wife from a prominent family for their grandson, to mutually benefit each other

Even if not so, one should at least find a girl who has both parents.

The Hong family's only daughter is known as a jinx who brings bad luck to those around her. Isn't the Li family afraid of misfortune

For a time, the whole city of Quanzhou was abuzz with talk of this.

In just two days, there was another piece of happy news spreading from the Yue family.

The Li family had a rule that all their descendants were only allowed to marry one wife and not take concubines.

If a couple is over forty and has no children, they should adopt their brother's child instead of taking a concubine!

Liu Yang could be considered half a son of the Li family, and he also abided by this rule, so the Yue family was particularly happy. They didn't have to worry about their daughter being wronged in the future.

This is when I couldn't help myself and sent the message out.

Needless to say, the city of Quanzhou was even more abuzz.

How many spoiled daughters have families regretting it to the point of chest-thumping remorse.

"If they had known the Li family didn't care about social status and wouldn't take concubines, they would have forced their daughters into the Li family even if it meant sharpening their brains! "

Now it's good, letting Yue family a merchant and Hong family's orphan pick up the bargain!

The Li and Liu families didn't care what outsiders thought, they worked diligently as usual.

Liu Yang and Jia Yi took leave from work and spent two days wandering around the city. They chose two adjacent small courtyards as their future home.

Both courtyards are two-in layout, located in the back alleys of the bustling city center, offering a peaceful retreat amidst the hustle and bustle.

The hall was very spacious, complete with a back room, stables, and a large kitchen.

The courtyard is not bad either, with a main house, side houses, and wing rooms all complete.

Neither of them had any money from home, so they pooled their military pay from the past two years. Each spent over three hundred taels to buy it.ct, the Third Princess chided, “What's there to be surprised about! You must have been as negligent as before, failing to attend properly to Her Royal Grandmother. You didn’t provide her with a charc...
