The flowering period works

Chapter 755: A Thousand Cups Won't Sober the Little Win

    

your boss that not a single book should be missing." 。Besides, we'll keep the iron pot, consider it borrowed, but you can take the rice back. 。Perhaps because their voices were too loud, the two litt...Although the matter was covered up very tightly in the new capital, few people dared to speak of it.

But those present, Jia Ren knows the inside story. Jia Xu, because of his sister Baozhu, was a firsthand witness and knows it very well.

As the son of a high-ranking official, Lu Zong's large household naturally attracted attention.

So, several people also had bad complexions.

Well, when there are a lot of people together, you never know what they're thinking. It's not easy to keep things from going wrong.

Over the past two years, the flower viewing banquet has been held less frequently.

But time is the best medicine, it can heal everything and make us forget everything.

So this year, since the beginning of spring, one after another, various businesses have started to bustle with activity.

Banquets for admiring flowers, poetry gatherings, tea-fighting competitions, birthday feasts, and so on—they have many names but serve a common purpose.

That's... matchmaking, pulling strings, a meet-and-greet!

Tianwu had no family planning policy, and those who didn't take concubines like the Li family were even rarer. So there were many legitimate sons and daughters as well as illegitimate ones from various families.

Here, there is no legal marriage age. It's common for children to start looking at each other as young as thirteen or fourteen, and getting married at fifteen or sixteen is also very frequent.

Young girls and young masters can endure loneliness, not appreciating flowers or playing, but the ladies of each family still cannot stand it.

After all, the young ladies of every household are hidden within the four walls of their homes. How can they be introduced to prospective grooms without being "seduced" out

Jia Yin guessed that this time, the Gu family's flower viewing banquet was also following this routine. So she called Shui Ling and instructed, "Pick a basket of peaches and send them to Miss Gu. By the way, ask how many guests will be attending the flower viewing banquet the day after tomorrow."

Water Spirit loved running errands and immediately agreed with a joyful response. She dashed downstairs to get started.

The stars, for some reason, still wanted to play with Shui Ling and were stopped by Jia Yin.

She pulled out her trusty pocket knife from her shin, and with three quick strokes, she shaved off the watermelon rind, carving a cute little pig. The success of this move diverted the attention of the chubby boy, who started clapping his hands and showering her with praise.

"Auntie is the best, Auntie is the most amazing!"

Jia Yin smacked her chubby cheeks with force, finally understanding why her family members were so willing to tease her back then.

What a cute little chubby child!

Baozhu saw the juicy food and eagerly leaned forward, wanting to take a bite too.

It's a pity that the chubby boy is very clever. He turned his head and burrowed into his aunt's arms, leaving only his plump body outside, like a white worm.

This made Baozhu raise her hand and lightly tap him, feigning anger: “Hmph, if you don't let me kiss you, I won't let Dajiu play with you!”

Stars peeked through Aunt's arm, watching the tabby cat stand on its hind legs trying to grab a big shrimp on the table. Its tongue kept flicking out in anticipation— it was so entertaining…

Needless to say, the little star kids' left and right cheeks were kissed by the orange cat before they obtained "permission" to use it!

Jia Ren, Lu Cong, and Jia Xu were grilling skewers while watching the excitement. The rooftop was truly a lively gathering.

In a little while, Mrs. Wen's Yueyaer with red eyes was also sent over by Qiao's sister.

The little girl woke up and went to play with the stars. She couldn't find her brother, so she cried sadly.

Jia Yin quickly put her and Xing Xing together, eating fruit and stroking the orange cat. In no time, the little girl giggled with laughter.

The star is only twenty days bigger than the crescent moon. In terms of seniority, the star should be the crescent moon's nephew, but he acts like an older brother, taking good care of the crescent moon. This melts everyone's hearts.

When she was halfway through her meal, Shui Ling had already returned.

As Jia Yin guessed, the Gu family's flower viewing party this time was actually a matchmaking banquet.

Of course, with the Dean of the Academy, a female headmaster, vouching for them, this "Blind Date Banquet" had high intentions. The young ladies and gentlemen from prominent families invited to attend all had good reputations.

Anyone whose moral character is lacking or whose reputation is somewhat tarnished will not be on the guest list.

And ladies from prestigious families can also be accompanied by their mothers to the banquet, which is even more reassuring.

Most importantly, Baozhu, Jia Xu, and Lu Zong are all on the invitation list.

Then Jiaren felt relieved and persuaded his sister to go out and have some fun.

While most girls get older and want to go out more, his younger sister is the opposite.

When she was young, she always begged to go into the city or to Los Angeles. After the County Lord's mansion was built these past two years, she became reclusive, going back and forth between the County Lord's mansion and her old home every day.

Now that the opportunity is rare, I might as well let my younger sister go out for some fresh air.

Jia Yin thought about it, she really didn't have much to do lately, so she might as well go to the matchmaking banquet to see the excitement.

Thus, everyone happily decided to gather at the Gu family's flower-viewing banquet the following day.

The charcoal fire burned red, and everyone ate until their mouths were full of grease.

While the stars and moon were tired from playing, Jiayin coaxed them back to the old house to find their mothers.

Then, she brought out a jar of homemade grape wine, chilled and refreshing. Paired with the skewers, it was simply divine!

As the sun began to set, Jia Xu supported Baozhu, with Lu Cong trailing behind them. All three of them were swaying slightly on their feet.

The aftertaste of the grape juice is really strong!

After drinking half a pot of wine, the three staggered and finally managed to get onto the carriage. Baozhu fell asleep right away...

In her past life, Jia Yin was known as the Wine God. It's unknown whether she inherited this trait from her parents, but she had an incredible tolerance for alcohol, able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.

White liquor, at least two kilograms, and beer, drank by the crate.

But such boldness was not befitting a young lady, so she rarely displayed this skill.

He made a stunning entrance at the class reunion after graduation, completely overshadowing everyone else!

After unexpectedly arriving at Tianwu, it seemed that her ability to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk had also followed her.

At this moment, the elder brother walked with a staggering gait and went back to sleep. However, she remained unaffected. She changed into a coarse linen dress and went to inspect the medicinal seedlings in the field as a way to aid digestion after the meal.

After the construction of the county princess's mansion, fifty mu of nearby land was enclosed to grow medicinal herbs.

This fifty mu of land originally belonged to Da Huai Shu Village. Jia Yin gave double the price and easily bought it.

In fact, the entire Suijin Beach was her territory. She requisitioned things directly, and no one dared to say anything.

But farmers rely on land for their livelihood. Without land, they have no way to make a living.

She didn't want to do such a domineering thing, and her family wouldn't allow it.

So, she bought it at a high price and instructed the caretaker of the gourd field in the Great Banyan Tree to prioritize hiring workers from these few households.

This way, several families would not lose their livelihood.

And Da, Xiao Wangzhuang and Dahuaishutun followed Xincun, with almost all the fields planted with emerald jade gourds and golden fruit.

All watermelons produced by Guanya are exquisite, naturally sweet and tempting. They easily monopolized all markets in Tianwu.

Besides the orders from wealthy families in Xindu, any surplus was sent to the southern state capital, where it also sold extremely well.

So, the villagers of Dàwángzhuāng, Xiǎowángzhuāng, and Dàhuái shù could each divide a hundred or two taels of silver at the end of the year.

The few families who guarded and looked after the melon field were given more than ten liang.

This is much more profitable than farming!

So not only were they not sad about losing their land, but they would boast to everyone about how lucky they were...

In the herb field, a dozen or so youngsters wearing straw hats were busy weeding.

Seeing the arrival of the good news, they all bowed respectfully.

Jia Yin waved her hand and asked, "Does the land need water for irrigation"ncess gown, she only wore ordinary clothes.The top was a light red blouse embroidered with delicate yellow flower buds all over. It was paired with a pleated skirt in snowy satin with cloud patterns,...
