Chapter 862: The Unassuming God of Wealth

He couldn't help but hold the book and weep again. 。Li Laosi took out two more pieces of paper, “There are no coffins in the mountains, only boxes. Men and women will be buried separately.” 。Record th...When Mrs. Xing went out to socialize, she had heard too many complaints from people.

Every time, she couldn't help but feel fortunate for her daughter, who had married into such a good family like the Li family.

So, she once again launched into her lecture, admonishing: “Wan’er, you must be filial to your grandmother and kind to your younger aunt. Be diligent with your hands and sew for them…”

Wǎn'ěr listened helplessly, Xíng Níng even grabbed two oranges and ran off, saying it was to find their father and would be back for a reunion dinner at noon.

Without mentioning that Wan'er was at home, Li Laotai brought her granddaughter and daughter-in-law directly to the best jewelry store in Xindu.

The shopkeeper of the jewelry store had eyes like a hawk. He knew everyone who was anyone in Xindu.

Almost as soon as Li Laotai and the others got off the car, he hurried to greet them at the door.

Li Laotai didn't put on airs, she laughed and chatted with the shopkeeper for a few homely words, and then everyone went upstairs.

There were other guests on the second floor, and surprisingly, they were acquaintances.

The Dean of the Grain Institute was with Gu Qingqing as they were selecting jewelry. Gu Qingqing hesitated for a long time, comparing a set of pearl headdresses and a set of agate headdresses.

When Gu Qingqing suddenly saw the Li family and Jia Yin, she was overjoyed and immediately went forward to pay her respects.

The Dean also smiled and sat with Old Lady Li, chatting and drinking tea.

Wenjuan brought Xingxing, and the shopkeeper took out some bracelets and necklaces suitable for children.

In recent years, it's been almost entirely the support of fairylanterns that has kept things going.

Uncle Li Zhensheng is very generous. He not only pays a monthly salary but also gives out bonuses at the end of the year.

Wenjuan's pockets were bulging. With the New Year approaching, she planned to make some needlework for her elders and younger cousin. She also wanted to buy each of Xingxing, Yueyaer, and Yuan yuan a piece of jewelry as a lucky money gift.

Jia Yin was pulled aside by Gu Qingqing to help her choose jewelry.

Jia Yin noticed that Gu Qingqing's agate was very vibrant. It wasn't common for Gu Qingqing to be so flamboyant, so she asked, "Sister Gu, did something good happen"

Gu Qingqing blushed and whispered, "My family has arranged a marriage for me. I'll be getting married next autumn."

Jia Yin subconsciously calculated that the Gu family planned for Gu Qingqing to marry after she came of age.

At fifteen years old, I was still in middle school in my past life. Here, I'm about to get married!

"That...Wouldn't sister Gu stay home for two more years" Jiayin felt a pang of reluctance and nestled into Gu Qingqing's arm, "Sister Gu got married, now there'll be one less person to play turtle shell divination with."

Gu Qingqing burst into laughter. She pretended to pinch him, and said with a playful frown, "I thought you were reluctant to leave me. Turns out you're just afraid of not having someone to play cards with!"

"Having said that, she also sighed and whispered, 'I don't want to get married this early either, but the other party doesn't have a mother, and their father is seriously ill. They hope I'll move in as soon as possible and take charge of the household.'"

Jia Yin's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she finally understood that the Gu family wasn't indifferent to their daughter; they had their own considerations.

Entering without the control of a mother-in-law and her father-in-law passing away immediately, this kind of family event is simply too hard to find.

A daughter married into a family becomes the mistress of the house and doesn't have to worry about being mistreated!

She quickly pulled Gu Qingqing aside and helped her purchase that set of agate jewelry. A bride-to-be naturally needs to dress up in a festive and beautiful manner.

In a short while, the head of the village and Gu Qingqing left first.

Jia Yin directly told the shopkeeper to wrap up the remaining pearl jewelry set and save it for Gu Qingqing's wedding next year.

Thus, Gu Qingqing was happy, and she was no longer afraid that the gift people would not like.

Li Laotai didn't hesitate, and without any ceremony, she bought two pairs of gold bangles, three pairs of jade bangles, and two pairs of gold hairpins in one breath.

They also prepared some flower and fruit shaped gold and silver ornaments, in preparation for the Lunar New Year when guests with children would come over. They didn't want people to leave empty-handed...

Jiayin was even more of a little rich girl. Although her space already held quite a few pieces of jewelry, it didn't stop her from liking new things and getting tired of old ones…

Everyone, young and old, was pleased with their purchases and then went to the silk shop.

The shopkeeper sent the young man to the door, and the young man couldn't help but say, "Shopkeeper, Mrs. Li might not look impressive in her attire, but she is truly generous!"

The shopkeeper knocked his head and took the opportunity to admonish him: "Don't learn from those who look down on others like a dog, the Li family just doesn't want to attract attention. "

"Don't you ever think about it, the most profitable restaurant in this new city, Xianke Lai, belongs to the Li family! And the most profitable pastry shop also belongs to the Li family!"

"The Broken Gold Beach is even more so the number one treasure trove in Tianwu, selling jade gourds alone costs ten thousand taels of silver.

"

"When it comes to provisions, this new city surpasses even the Li family's. There aren't many that can compare. From now on, when people come here, we must certainly serve them attentively!"

"Yes, yes, shopkeeper! The little one remembers!" The young man quickly replied, craning his neck to look at the Li family's carriage again, trying hard to memorize these few "wealth gods"...

In winter, the weather is cold, and there are few customers in the wine shop. Logically, business would be very poor.

But Cyclamen broke this rule!

In the hall, young men shouted loudly between each seat.

A bowl of spicy sliced beef and a plate of chili crab!

"Here's a plate of Mapo Tofu and a plate of Spicy Chicken!"

What was once a dish that most people avoided because of its spiciness, is now completely turned around and has become the darling of all customers.

Almost every table orders one or two, sweating profusely from the spiciness. The winter chill seems to be dispelled.

In the back kitchen, Jia Huan was leading a throng of cooks and servants, all sweating profusely.

Just as he was enjoying some fresh air outside, Jia Huan saw his grandmother arrive with his father's wife, their children and sister.

He happily rushed to greet him, scooped his son up and bounced him a little, then called everyone to go to the side room.

"Grandma, why are you out walking today What would you like to eat I'll go make it for you right away!"

As Jiahuan chatted with Grandma, she gently rubbed her younger sister's hair. She guessed that Grandma was willing to go for a walk because of her little sister's efforts.

Jia Yin climbed up the pole and immediately grinned, ordering with a smile, "Brother, I want to eat water-boiled fish!"

"No way, breakouts on my face!"

Li Lao Tai and Wen Juan spoke up in unison, shattering Jia Yin's beautiful aspirations.

At that moment, Jiayin deflated and hung her head.

Last time she indulged, she ate a whole pot of boiled fish by herself. As a result, her face was almost unrecognizable when she woke up in the morning.

Her family was terrified and kept a strict watch on her for three days, feeding her light meals, before the pimples on her face finally subsided. But from that day forward, boiled fish disappeared completely from her world...

"Jiahuan was laughing so hard at being teased by his younger sister. He quickly reassured her, 'Today we have a lot of guests, the fish is sold out, but there are still plenty of shrimp left. How about I make you some salt and pepper shrimp' "

Before anyone could speak, someone outside chuckled and said, "You're early! What a coincidence. Huan Ge, please burn another dish. I want to have two cups!"

Then, the door creaked open and Li Lao Er walked in with a beaming face, followed by Li Lao Si.

Li Laotai was taken aback, she suddenly stood up and asked, "Second brother, is Jia Yi back"

Li Lao'er nodded and said, "Mother guessed half right. It was General Tang of the Hailan Army who came back. He has already entered the palace to see the Emperor."

"Tomorrow at court, the Hailan army will present captives and receive awards. If Jia Yi's merits outweigh his crimes, he will be released from prison and go home!"

"That's wonderful!" Jia Yin cheered, "Tomorrow, I'll go pick up Third Brother home!"

"I'm going too, I'm going too!" Li Lao Tai reddened her eyes, "When I see Jiayi, I'll definitely give that stinky boy a good beating."

Everyone burst into laughter, taking it as a joke.ief, wiping the sweat from her brow. She said with concern, “It’s too early for winter flowers. We can arrange it again in the fall. It’s too hot in the summer to go out and run all day, what if you g...
