Chapter 952: A Glorious Moment

directly bestowed upon Liu the eldest son a fourth-rank official position! That's why we're having this banquet today!""I heard the Li family is even more impressive. Mrs. Li, the matriarch, received...After dinner, Li Lao San went to arrange the seed matter, and Li Lao Si and Li Yong helped.

Jia Yin went to the city with the village head and Zhao Shu, as well as other elderly villagers.

Li Lao Er was overjoyed and directly left all the private rooms of Xianke Lai by the street for his family.

The village head and Old Zhao, along with other elders, occupied one room. The old master Liu, Liu Zhiheng, Xing Da Ren, and other relatives occupied another. The remaining room was for Jia Yin, Madam Liu, Madam Xing, as well as Old Madam Jia and Misses Jia (the First and Second).

Of course, pearls are a must-have.

As soon as she saw Jia Yin, she clung to her like a shadow.

The little girl's mouth could hang a bottle of oil. She opened her mouth and it was sour, looking like someone who had been wronged when a new person replaced an old one.

Jia Yin laughed and said helplessly, she promised a lot of delicious food and finally coaxed the foodie girl happily.

Seeing her granddaughter's joyful face, Madam Jia suddenly felt a shift in her heart...

Jia Yin got two boxes of freshly baked snacks from the clouds. When the little helpers brought them over, she and Baozhu divided them at their table.

Lady Jia pulled her over to sit beside her and then chased Baozhu away to work.

"Grand Madam Jia asked, "Lady Jun, when will your grandmother return to Xindu I haven't seen her in ages, and my heart aches."

Jia Yin laughed and said playfully, "Grandma Jia, you don't know, my grandmother has made a new friend, an elderly lady, in Quanzhou. Every day she takes a boat out to sea to watch the sunset, goes shopping, eats, and watches plays. She's having a wonderful time."

“You should write more letters to my grandmother, complaining about her a bit. Otherwise, she'll forget you, her old sister.”

Grandma Jia laughed heartily, patted Jiayin's hand, and scolded playfully, "You little girl, you're afraid your grandmother would be bored in the south, so you tricked me into writing her letters to keep her entertained!"

"Don't worry, I'll write a letter when I get home. It was nice to talk to your grandmother, but it turned out that after she went to Quanzhou, she didn't come back."

Jia Yin's little scheme was exposed, but she didn't feel embarrassed. She had only done it to please the old lady.

She offered Old Madam Jia a soft, creamy milk cake and said, “Grandma Jia, please try this. Bai Yun specially crafted this new pastry for the elderly and children. My grandma hasn't had a chance to try it yet. You have two more, so she feels proud!”

Needless to say, Old Mrs. Jia laughed heartily again.

After eating the milk cake, Jia Lao Fu asked, "What is your grandmother busy with in the south, and when will she be back"

The two families were on good terms, and the Jia family was also well-regarded. Jia Yin thought about her brothers who were about to move to the new capital, so she didn't hide it and replied, "A few days ago, my third brother got married in Quanzhou. Coincidentally, my fourth and fifth brothers who were out at sea also returned. My fourth brother married a woman from a foreign country."

My grandmother said that Fourth Brother isn't marrying in, so our family naturally has to hold a banquet and formally welcome Fourth Sister-in-law.

"So, my grandmother is really busy. It's a blessing if she can come back during autumn."

Grandma Jia nodded, glanced at her granddaughter who was stuffing herself with snacks beside her, and felt anxious.

The Li family's children are like fruits on a tree, being plucked away one by one. If you don't act quickly, you'll surely regret it later.

So, she tentatively asked, "Your grandmother can't just focus on the Quanzhou side and ignore the Xindu side, right"

Your great-uncle's sixth son, that is Li Ge’er who also went to high school this year, isn't he still unengaged Your grandmother doesn't care

Jia Yin is who An old cucumber painted green, looks tender on the outside, but has a hidden agenda inside.

Upon hearing this, she almost immediately guessed Jia Lao Tai's intentions.

To be honest, although Baozhu is a bit gluttonous, she has a kind heart and is innocent and naive. If we were to marry her, even if she wasn't necessarily a virtuous wife or a good mother, at least she wouldn't stir up trouble in the household.

If Sixth Brother had his eyes on the pearl, she would naturally be overjoyed and wholeheartedly in agreement.

But now, Sixth Brother has never hinted at this meaning, so she can't make decisions for her brother in private.

So, she feigned indifference and replied, "My sixth older brother is still young, and our family isn't in a hurry to arrange a marriage for him. Besides, my sixth older brother just finished high school, and his future career hasn't been decided yet. He wouldn't have time for this right now."

That's indeed true. Jia Lao Fuzi nodded in agreement.

As for others, her own brother Jia Xu was already over twenty years old, and yet he wasn't betrothed.

It's okay, I guess. Now that I'm in high school, my family will probably be flooded with marriage proposals soon.

Then, she must carefully look after her grandson.

Thinking like this, Lady Jia changed her mind and began to ponder the young women of the new capital. Which families had daughters who were about the same age, with good character and a pleasant appearance...

Jia Yin lowered her head, a smile flitting across her eyes, then she ate snacks with Bao Zhu and chatted idly.

The little pearl leaned against Jiayin, chattering happily.

After Jia Yin entered the palace, it was very difficult for them to see her.

This time, she finally had a chance. Even the Third Princess didn't come out. She really should have a good talk with her younger sisters!

Just then, the next room suddenly erupted in cheers, "Here they come! Here they come!"

Before the words even hit the ground, a commotion broke out outside.

Everyone quickly rushed to the window and looked out. Sure enough, a group of people was walking down the street on the bustling commercial street.

In a brocade robe and with a jade hairpin, Jiarren rode at the front, his head held high and chest out, sitting proudly on his horse. He bowed to the cheering crowd along the way.

He was already handsome, and now that he was at the peak of his youth, he seemed even more radiant. People passing by couldn't help but praise him.

Some young women, bold and daring, threw their purses and sachets.

The second-place scholar, who stood behind Jia Ren, was a bit older but exuded the air of a learned man. He was gentle and elegant, winning over quite a few hearts.

And lastly, there was Lu Zong, the champion of the imperial examination, in a sapphire blue robe and a gold crown.

He came from a family of warriors, his physique was relatively strong and sturdy, with handsome brows and eyes, and he garnered countless cheers and admiration.

He just seemed a little more distant than usual, his brow furrowed slightly as if troubled by something.

The maidens hesitated for a moment before wanting to throw in purses and sachets.

In just a blink of an eye, the horse team was gone.

As Jia Ren neared the Xianke Lai, he knew his family members were upstairs. He intentionally slowed down his horse and looked up.

Indeed, all his relatives and friends gathered here just to witness his glorious moment.

Jia Ren couldn't help but wave his hand vigorously, grinning from ear to ear.

The crowd also cheered loudly and waved their hands in response.

Jia Yin squeezed in the crowd, but smiled with tears welling up in her eyes.

All hard work pays off, she is happy for her brother!

Downstairs, Lu Cong heard the commotion and looked up. Seeing the Li family's arrival, he felt a sense of relief. Then, seeing Jia Yin waving her handkerchief, he couldn't help but smile as well...

Even if it walked slowly, the horse team passed in a short while.

Wan'er was so excited that she wiped her tears with a handkerchief. Naturally, everyone tried to comfort her, but she felt embarrassed and quickly cheered up to take care of the elderly, children, and relatives at home...

After having lunch at the Xianke Lai, the crowd dispersed in the afternoon.

Jia Yin had to rush to the palace, but she was also concerned about her home. Seeing how capable her sister-in-law was in handling everything, she felt reassured.

When night fell, Jiarren and Ligger found Jiaxu and went to the Lu family together.

As close friends, they naturally noticed that Lu Cong was off today.

But during the day, there are too many outsiders, so it's not a good time to ask. Now that things have finally calmed down, it's a good opportunity.

Lu Zhong was not surprised that they had come. He ordered a banquet and then ate and chatted with them.

Today's update is here!s on whether you can convince them. If they're willing, they'll be your slaves. If not, they'll remain in the workshops of Ercun." 。Jia Yin, hearing this, didn't flinch at all. She stepped forward two...
