Chapter 720 Reunion
Li Rong and Li Li rode in front. If there were pedestrians on the road, they would take the initiative to slow down and not disturb the people, cattle and horses.
When there is no one around, you will speed up.
It is eighty miles from the county seat to Jixiang Town, and we arrived in less than an hour.
Seeing the busy scene of people coming and going in Jixiang Town, Li Rong and Li Li were very excited.
Get off the horse directly, hand the horse to the guard next to you, and then start shopping.
"Sister Li, I want to eat sticky rice cakes."
"Oh, glutinous rice noodles are also delicious."
“There are also meat rice dumplings, the meat is delicious.”
…
Li Rong and Li Li think the food on the street is delicious. Although many things are available in other places, they always feel that they are not as delicious as the local ones.
While they were shopping, someone from Lijia Village saw Li Rong and Li Li, "A Rong, A Li, are you back?"
Li Rong nodded, "Yes, Grandpa Li Qi, my father has entered the cabinet and been transferred to the capital as an official. Your Majesty gave permission for my father and mother to return home in fine clothes, so we followed him back."
When Grandpa Li Qi heard this, he was overjoyed, "There is smoke coming out of the ancestral graves of our old Li family, and Yuan Qing has joined the cabinet."
The third widow over there also heard it and hurriedly came out of the shop, "Arong Ali, come quickly, I have good summer-relieving tea here."
Li Rong smiled and said, "Thank you very much, but we are not thirsty."
Li Yingniang came out of the shop and saw Li Rong and Li Li. She smiled happily and said, "That's great. The third brother and the third sister-in-law are back. I have good wine at home. I'll ask your uncle to send some over."
Li Rong smiled and said: "Thank you very much, sister-in-law. I won't be polite to you anymore."
Li Yingniang was very happy when she saw Li Rong and Li Li calling her aunt, and urged, "Sister Xiaohua has been thinking about you all day long. I won't keep you here. Go back as soon as possible."
Li Li nodded, "Well, let's go back first. We'll visit my sister-in-law later."
Watching Li Rong and Li Li leave, Li Yingniang looked at her godmother with admiration, "Mom, I owe my life to you. If you hadn't saved me and taught me, how could I have the good life I have now?"
The third widow smiled and said, "Just be obedient. This person should sing songs from whichever mountain he is on. If you understand in your heart, your life will be easier."
If a family can earn a thousand taels of silver a year from taverns and grocery stores and accumulate it over ten years, they are considered wealthy.
Where can such a good life exist in my hometown of Yuyang Mansion?
Old man Zhou kept his merit and fame deep in his heart. He looked at the account book behind the counter and lamented that he had stopped at the cliff and corrected his evil ways.
Now the uncle of the grandson and granddaughter is an important minister in the cabinet.
Li Yuancheng is still young now. When his children grow up, they will not be in their prime and can borrow strength.
Now my daughter-in-law has given birth to another grandson. After two years of recuperation, she will give birth to another grandson. If she has more children, one of them will be able to read.
Anyway, my family has money and can afford to study.
Li Fang is doing business at Jixiang Silk and Satin Factory. She is going to the market today. The business here is very good. She has been busy since morning and has not even had time to drink water.
At this moment, I heard someone shouting outside the door, "Sister!"
Li Fang suddenly raised her head, then looked at the door, and the pen in her hand fell on the table, "Ali Arong, are you back? Where are the third uncle and third aunt?"
Li Li quickly ran over and hugged her sister hard, "Sister, I miss you so much! I didn't come back when you got married, I'm sorry!"
Li Fang hugged her sister with her backhand, her eyes red, "It's a long journey, you can't come back, I know it in my heart."
"Although it's a bit regretful, I know you are thinking of me and missing me, and that's enough."
Li Li wiped her tears and said, "I prepared a lot of gifts for my sister."
Li Rong also said quickly, "And me, I also prepared a lot of gifts for Sister A Fang."
Li Fang let go of Lingli and quickly hugged Li Rong, "Thank you Ah Rong. You have been with Ali these past few years, so she can make so much progress."
There are more and more customers in the store, which hinders business.
The clerk in the store said: "Master, let's just look at the shop here. Since Miss Ali and Miss A Rong are back, you should go home first."
"When the business ends today, the account book will be delivered to your door."
Hearing this, Li Fang nodded, "Everyone has worked hard today, and there is a happy event in my family, so I will get double monthly payment this month."
The guys, who were already very happy, all beamed when they heard this.
The assistant boy with the lowest salary in their shop has a few cents of silver.
Now that the monthly money is doubled, you can get at least two taels of silver.
"Thank you, Miss Afang, for the reward." Everyone said in unison, respectfully sending Li Fang and others off.
Li Fang quickly asked: "By the way, except for you coming back, where are the third uncle and third aunt? Where is Dabao?"
Li Rong replied: "My father and mother are both back. It will take a while for them to get home by carriage."
Li Fang nodded, "That's great. Gu Qilang has passed the Jinshi examination and is still an official in the capital. Can I arrange a wedding for you when you come back this time?"
Li Li's face was slightly red, "Everyone from the Gu family is back this time, and Gu Jin is back too, just here to hold the wedding."
"In addition, Aunt Liu and Third Uncle have made great achievements, and His Majesty has given them permission to return home in fine clothes. They can stay at home for two months!"
Li Fang became even happier, "That's great, it must be very happy."
As soon as I left the town, I met Village Chief Li.
"Grandpa, village chief, are you feeling well? Is Grandma okay?" Li Rong's crisp voice sounded.
When Village Chief Li saw Li Rong, he immediately beamed, "So it's Ah Rong and Ali who are back. Where are your parents?"
Li Rong quickly answered with a smile: "Our whole family is back. Even Uncle Yuan Qi and a few young people from the village are back with us."
When Village Chief Li heard this, he slapped his thigh and said, "That's great. I haven't seen my child in three years."
Although I usually write letters, the mountains and rivers are far away and the journey is far away. I am busy doing business and have no time to come back.
As soon as Li Yuanqi, who often does business, heard that Li Yuanqing and Liu Pan'er were returning to their hometown, he immediately closed the shop and went home with them.
Not only can you save travel expenses, but it is also very safe.
The key point is that Brother Yuan Qing and his sister-in-law are returning home in fine clothes this time. What a glorious event, of course they have to go back and celebrate together.
Stay at home for a while, and then return to the capital with you. It would be better if you can bring your grandmother and parents to the capital.
But when I think about my grandmother’s old age, I probably don’t want to move anymore.
His parents would not leave his grandmother behind to go into business with him.
"Your mother likes the most is the sesame crackers made by your grandma Cuihua. I will let her make them now and eat them when your mother comes back." Village Chief Li did not go around the town and turned around directly to go home.
