Chapter 745 Top Priority!
an I surviveFor a moment, everyone huddled together, weeping with all their might...There's no medicine for regret, and there are no rewards without effort.Unfortunately, this truth is often understoo...This would allow him to make friends more easily and learn from his father how to manage the Hundred Gardens and the Relief Bureau.
Of course, he would also often come home for short stays.
Li Lao Tai felt a little disappointed, but then she thought, the city is so close to Suijin Beach, and in the future, her grandson won't be bound by the academy. If he wants to come back, he can come back anytime.
So, she nodded.
Once everyone in the family agreed, the others couldn't stop it.
So, they chose a sunny day and Li Laotai, Tao Hongying, and Jiayin drove into town to help Jiarren pack his belongings.
To be on the safe side, Zhao Yuru stayed at home to watch Wen Juan.
Mr. Wen originally lived in this small courtyard, called Jiren. Even now, if he was busy and arrived late occasionally, he would still come here to stay for a while.
Out of respect, Jiaren still left the main hall to Mr. Wen and chose the east wing as his own living quarters.
Three rooms on the east side, one room on the south side is used as a bedroom.
Next to the bedroom was a small kitchen where water was boiled or meals were cooked. The large kang in the bedroom would become warm as a result of the fire.
In the summertime, if you don't like a hot kang (brick bed), you can move a panel in the kitchen stove area and slightly modify the flue, and the kang will not be so hot.
The central hall was furnished with tables and chairs, prepared for receiving guests and meals.
On the north side was a study, with bookshelves lining almost three walls, holding hundreds of books brought back from Lo'an Academy.
These books came from the Guo family and have been kept in the academy for so long that they have benefited too many masters and students, and also helped Jiaren make many good connections.
Now that the academy has copied it, we can retrieve this version belonging to the Li family.
For Jia Yin, the fact that her older brother was living alone was something she was happier about than anyone else.
She's been busy picking out things for her brother in the metaverse these days. She's having a blast.
It's just like when I first left home for college!
Right now, the paintings on the study walls, the small ornaments on the multi-treasure pavilion, and the stationery on the writing desk, etc., were all carefully prepared by her.
Even several rooms, she also put a few pots of blooming flowers.
The bedroom is filled with the sweet scent of jasmine, the living room bursts with the festive cheer of kumquats, and the study exudes the elegance of orchids...
Li Laotai and Tao Hongying helped Jia Ren prepare new bedding, folding clothes and shoes.
Seeing this, Jiarren swallowed the words that were about to come out.
He had long since learned to live independently, taking care of his food, clothing, shelter and transportation, but his family's busy lives couldn't hide their concern and love for him.
When the sun reached its zenith, Jia Huan came over from Xianshilai carrying a lunchbox. Seeing that everything was tidy and clean, he smiled and said, "I thought I would come to help with the work, but I was late."
"They're all small matters, there's no need for you to help." Old Mrs. Li patted this simple grandson of hers and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Needless to say, noon was the busiest time in the restaurant. Jia Huan must have been constantly standing at the stovetop, stir-frying and deep-frying, just to get everything ready for the customers.
Thinking about this, Old Lady Li felt both heartbroken and increasingly proud.
Neighbors have many children and are afraid they will fight.
But it's absolutely impossible at the Li family.
The brothers took care of the younger ones, and the younger ones were considerate of their older brothers, a rare harmony.
As expected, Jiahuan opened the food container, and there were several dishes inside that Jiarin loved.
A family of all ages had just wiped down the table, ready to lay out the dishes and eat, when the gate to the courtyard was knocked on.
Gǒu Rè went to open the door, welcoming in Jià Xù and Lú Zōng.
They also brought lunch boxes, apparently to celebrate Jiaren's new home.
They were also surprised to see the whole Li family present and quickly bowed in greeting.
Li Laotai laughed and beckoned them to have a meal together. She chatted idly and asked why they weren't in school.
Jia Xu and Lu Zhong were only registered at the academy. They didn't have to go to class every day, they just had to return for exams.
Now that Jia Ren is traveling, they have also left the academy.
After that, Jia Xu will try to take over the family business and gain some experience.
Lu Zong also needs to take care of the family business and socialize with friends and acquaintances in Xindu.
But Jia Xu still had to live at home, bound by the family rules.
Lu Zong did have his own courtyard, but he had to constantly put on airs as the young master's servant, which was exhausting.
So, the two of them set their sights on the small courtyard called Jiaren.
They thought about occasionally coming to live together for a few days and tasting the freedom.
Unexpectedly, upon my first visit, I encountered several members of the Li family.
Luckily, when the sun began to set, Li Laotai and others left.
The courtyard has become the world of young people!
Dinner was not as plentiful as lunch, but it was all appetizers meant for drinking. Needless to say, the three of them were all half-drunk...
After seeing her elder brother's courtyard, Jia Yin finally began to pay attention to the Marquis' Mansion she had put out of mind after returning home.
Interestingly enough, the next day, Zhou Da came to visit, bringing up the matter of continuing the construction of the county princess's mansion.
Of course, a thousand cheers for Jia Yin! Provide money if needed, and provide items if needed!
Then, the construction of the county princess's mansion continued smoothly.
The craftsmen received their opening red envelopes, each containing two ounces of silver, before they started working.
To everyone's surprise, they became even more dedicated.
Jiayin originally still wanted to follow along and contribute as much as possible to create a new home that met her wishes.
But the elder brother sent someone home to ask for the fruit basket, and also asked his younger sister to help him find a "red string" of fate.
Originally, Jiarren wanted to visit the Xing family and discuss academics with Mr. Xing. Of course, his main purpose was to see his sweetheart.
Jia Yin was eager to help her brother marry his bride, this was a very important event.
She prepared a fruit basket very carefully, and also carried a pot of calla lilies.
The siblings arrived at the Xing residence, where Meilan presented the fruit basket to Mr. Xing and then carried it to the inner courtyard.
Although Lord Xing wasn't a high-ranking official, he was still in the imperial court and naturally knew about the case of Fu Rong ointment.
In recent days, young women in the new capital have been trying their best to distance themselves from any association with rouge.
Like Wan'er, those who are completely unrelated, reclusive themselves, guarding against others from making random guesses and ruining their reputation.
So, after the New Year, Wan'er not only had someone give Li Laotai a pair of shoes and Zhang Shenyi two boxes of personally baked snacks, but she also didn't visit Suijintang.
Now that good news has arrived, Wan'er is over the moon with joy. She questioned carefully for a long time before finally feeling at ease.
Lady Xing was also listening intently, muttering prayers. But Xing Ning seemed to have a thorn in his backside, fidgeting back and forth on his chair.
Finally finding an opportunity, he started making a fuss. "Mother, my sister and I have been confined at home for nearly twenty days now. Every time we want to go out, you always say that the outside world is chaotic."
"Now that the County Lord and Brother Jiaren are here, it's definitely safe outside.
Please have mercy and allow me and my sister to go out for a walk.
"Since we're not going anywhere, why don't we go to the dessert shop for a cup of milk tea and a piece of white cloud cake What do you say"
Mrs. Xing doted on her youngest son, and seeing her daughter's flushed face, she guessed that she also wanted to talk more with her future husband and get to know him better. So she nodded in agreement.
Then, after half an hour, Mrs. Xing let Mr. Xing from the study in front have his fill of being a teacher, and then she allowed her children to go out with their cousins Ren and Jia Yin siblings.
Four people took a car all the way to the commercial street. They stopped at a teahouse for some snacks and refreshments, then went to the Hundred Flower Garden.
Jia Yin led Xing Ning, enjoying snacks and playing around.
There was enough space left for the older brother and future sister-in-law to whisper.
Jiarren was very considerate. Worried that the Xing family would take notice, before lunchtime, he sent Wan'er and her younger brother back home.
As expected, Lord Xing and Lady Xing were very satisfied.
... laid a good foundation for Jia Ren to invite Wan'er out again in the future...
After Jia Yin finished her divine aid for her brother, she happily took a car back to Suijin Beach.
Yo-shan drove, with Dongmei and Shui-ling accompanying him. Jia-ren felt at ease and didn't send his sister along.
As soon as the carriage left the city, they encountered a speeding horse rider!
