" Wu Da Lao Ye's expression held a hint of arrogance.For so many years, the Wu family, as the Empress's maternal clan, had been looked down upon by others due to their lack of imperial favor.Just lik...Only then did Li Zhensheng feel relieved, and he held his mother's hand, asking about the trivial matters at home.

Li Lao'er and Li Laosi said a few words, then hurried back up the mountain.

After all, everyone in the village was busy harvesting the fruits. They had worked hard for a year, and they couldn't afford to delay. They also needed to hurry and help.

Jiayi couldn't stay idle. He hoisted his little sister onto his shoulders and said, "Grandma, I'm taking Funiu with me to play too!"

"Go, take the Water Spirit. If you go crazy and don't care about your sister, give her to the Water Spirit!"

The old woman, seeing her grandson's enthusiasm, did not stop him.

Shuiling and Shuiyun are both martial artists. With them by her side, she feels at ease.

Just because the mountain was busy, the school took a break. Jiahuan, Jiali and Mao Ge came back from outside, and at first sight, they were overjoyed to see Jiayi and their uncle.

The kitten rushed forward, hugged his father's neck, and called out again and again.

Li Zhensheng patted his son, his nose feeling sour. But looking at his son, who was now dark and strong, he wasn't the frail little cat he used to be. He felt a surge of happiness again.

“Well done, boy! You're getting a new name, 'Maoge' doesn't suit you anymore. You should be called 'Tie Dan'! ”

Everyone laughed. The little cat, nestled in its father's arms, wriggled and jiggled like a black dumpling.

Li Zhensheng patted his son's little head, "Go play with your brother and sister, tonight Dad will tuck you in, we'll share the good stuff!"

"Great, great!" Meow-Geer had been waiting for this very phrase. Now, his heart was filled with joy, and he dashed off with his brothers in a flurry of motion, vanishing without a trace.

The water noodles were served, and Li Zhensheng was truly starving. He ate them in big gulps.

As soon as I finished eating, Liu Zhiheng arrived.

He originally came with people to pick fruit. Hearing that Li Zhensheng was back, he came over to meet him.

Seeing this, Old Mrs. Li had no chance to speak with her son, so she took He Grandma to see Hui-niang.

The past two days it was Dayong's turn to go to the docks, and the house was in an uproar again. Huiniang couldn't leave her room, afraid she would panic.

As expected, Huiniang was holding the child and looking out.

Hearing that the old woman said Li Zhensheng was back, the village people were busy picking fruit. She felt at ease.

In the evening, Liu Zhiheng drove back to town with more than twenty trucks full of fruit, grinning happily.

The village has arranged for people to patrol, so we can rest now.

Everyone rushed to finish their meals and then gathered at Li's house to hear Li Zhensheng talk about the latest news from the south.

Actually, Li Zhensheng only started the conversation. The other villagers who went to Quanzhou with him took over and talked nonstop about it.

What kind of a large sea vessel could possibly exist in a field Fish and shrimp abound, covering an expanse as vast as the sky. The foreign barbarians have red beards and blue eyes, resembling demons...

Some words have been heard by everyone in the village, but they still sound delicious to listen to.

It was not until the moon reached its zenith that the village head called out to disperse the crowd.

Everyone was a little reluctant to leave, so Li Zhensheng said, “This time I’m back, I can stay for longer. We can chat slowly later on, no need to rush.”

It wasn't until then that everyone felt relieved and set off home together. Along the way, they chatted and laughed, bringing warmth to the cold night air.

Li's family closed the gate, finally leaving only their own people.

Li Zhensheng called out to Li Lao Si and Jia Yi, "Bring the things we prepared for home over here."

Jiahuan, Jiaxi and Mao'er, Jia Yin immediately widened their eyes, wishing they could peer through the doorframe, eagerly looking outside.

Soon, Li Lao Si and Jia Yi moved everything back.

One giant seashell caught everyone's eye.

Li Zhensheng called Jia Yi over and placed the seashell on the kang. Then, he pressed down beside the seashell, and it slowly opened.

This shell was as large as an eight-immortal table, its exterior coated with some sort of oil that made it incredibly smooth and shiny.

As soon as the shell was opened, a string of pearls lining its edge cascaded out, forming a pearl curtain. Underneath the curtain lay delicate bedding in a pale blush hue, beautiful like the nest of a mermaid princess...

Jia Yin cheered with joy and rushed over, diving into the shell, flipping open the blanket, and rolling around happily!

The family was excited, with Jiaxi and Jiangan happily circling the shell, turning it this way and that.

Jiayin tumbled around a few times before crawling out, letting her brothers lie down inside.

Unfortunately, the house cat bed was too big, with half of its legs sticking out. Only Cat Brother curled up his legs to fit.

"This is a birthday present for Funi, do you like it"

Li Zhensheng hugged his little niece and laughed, asking, "As expected, I've been covered in drool again."

"Like, like! Uncle is the best, Funiu will definitely be filial to her uncle when she grows up!"

Everybody laughed along, “Only a lucky girl can sleep in this conch bed!”

"You must have spent quite a bit of money again," the old woman asked.

"No, Mother, please don't worry. I bought this shell from a fisherman. It was very cheap, I only spent some money on the craftsman to make it."

"Even the pearl curtains are strung with teardrop pearls, not round ones, and they're particularly inexpensive."

Li Zhensheng explained a few words and quickly went outside to get something.

Rare fabrics, coral bonsai, all kinds of dry goods, and a large box of pearl and coral jewelry.

"Mother, the craftsmanship in Quanzhou is influenced by foreign cultures and has some unique features. I've made a lot of jewelry. Please distribute them among your sisters and brothers. Keep any extras, as they will always be useful."

Li Zhensheng pushed the jewelry box to the old woman, and the old woman smiled.

"Jia Huan's betrothal was just recently finalized, and I'm struggling to come up with a suitable dowry. You bringing back these items is incredibly helpful."

"Has Jiahuan gotten engaged" Both Li Zhensheng and Jiayi were surprised. The old woman simply said a few words.

Not knowing the details, the two only heard that Jiāhuān was to marry the daughter of a scholar from the academy, and naturally they were delighted.

Li Zhensheng burst into laughter, "This Jiahuan kid is truly remarkable. He did it without a sound, marrying such an accomplished woman!"

Jia Yi also said, "Tomorrow I will ride to Luoyang!"

"Take me, take me! I want to see my brother too!" The kitten clawed at Yi's back, mewing loudly. The old woman swatted him and scooped him up into her arms.

As night deepened, the family finally dispersed to rest.

Jia Yin took advantage of her grandma's time making the bed to sneak out the door. Sure enough, Jia Yi was waiting for her outside.

The siblings huddled together, and Jia Yi slipped two small cloth bags into his sister's hands. "I bought some more of those translucent stones you like - about a dozen or so. And there are quite a few big pearls as well," he said.

"Thank you, big brother!" Jiayin hugged her brother and kissed him on the cheek, her eyes smiling like crescent moons.

Jia Yi held his little sister, also smiling helplessly.

"I really don't know what you're doing with so many quartz stones They aren't as beautiful as rubies!"

Jia Yin raised her chin, looking down on her brother's ignorance. How could he not know about women's passion for diamonds!

"Oh, brother, you don't understand! In the future, whenever I see something cheap and nice, just buy it for me. When you marry a wife, I'll give your sister-in-law a set of jewelry. I guarantee she'll love it!"

Jia Yi blushed and hurriedly waved his hand, "I don't want to get married! I haven't had enough fun yet!"

The old woman heard the noise inside the house and shouted, "Funiu'er, don't bother your brother, get in the house and go to sleep!"for a momentMrs. Liu and Mrs. Jia Er almost immediately guessed the reason, but Mrs. Xing, who rarely went out and was out of touch with current events, didn't react right away.Wan'er stepped forward,...
