After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

Mrs. Yan was very familiar with the young lady's movements, and when she saw the young lady's shoulders dropped a little. "Madam, the young lady seems a little tired. Let me hold the young lady for a while!"

Mrs. Dong looked at her daughter, and she felt sorry for her daughter who had come such a long way. However, she was wearing clothes for a banquet today, so it was not convenient for her to hold her daughter. "You can hold her for a while! If she gets tired after a while, let Mrs. Shui hold her for a while."

Mrs. Yan thanked her for her thoughtfulness and knelt down to hug Mingjia. Walking a little slowly, keeping a little distance from Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Dong, Mrs. Yan whispered a few words into Mingjia's ear.

After listening to this, Mingjia looked at Mr. Sun with some curiosity and amusement.

When they entered Mrs. Li's courtyard, there was already a mother-in-law waiting at the door. She quickly opened the curtain and invited Mr. Dong to enter the house. The old lady of the Li family who was originally sitting on the soft couch quickly got up and took several daughters-in-law and granddaughter-in-law to salute Mr. Dong.

Although Dong is the county magistrate's wife, she is young after all, and today is the old lady's birthday. Mrs. Dong hurriedly took two steps forward and held the old lady of the Li family firmly with both hands. In the end, she only gave a half salute.

After everyone sat down, Mrs. Dong ordered Mrs. Shui to present a congratulatory gift to Mrs. Li. I bought a pair of forehead wipes and a few embroidered handkerchiefs when passing through the capital. The gifts are not expensive, but the important thing is that giving forehead wipes has the meaning of intimacy.

A few embroidered handkerchiefs are not expensive materials, but the embroidery skills and patterns are rare in Sichuanzhou. The embroidery looks good, and young women would like it. Thinking of what Dong said about buying it from the capital, several members of the Li family were a little jealous looking at the embroidered handkerchief.

The women of the Li family also stood up and introduced themselves. Originally, Mrs. Dong wanted to give them a greeting gift. However, the few embroidered handkerchiefs just now were obviously going to be divided among several young women, so they didn't say anything more.

Mingjia also gave Mrs. Li a gift, and her birthday wishes were also beautifully spoken. Mrs. Li was very happy, but she didn't dare to give Ming Jia any greeting gift. The old lady had a lot of experience, and she knew that she was not qualified to give the county magistrate's lady a gift.

All the important guests have arrived, and the next step is for the daughters-in-law and granddaughter-in-law of the Li family to give gifts to the old lady. The wife of the head of the Li family is now in charge of most of the Li family's property, so the gifts she gives are naturally more expensive. The second and third bedrooms are already dependent on the big house, and the gifts given are nothing new.

The gifts given by the following grandsons-in-law looked great. Mrs. Sun was generous and directly gave a gold hairpin, which looked very important. All of a sudden, the faces of the other houses, including the Li family's mistress, all turned ugly. Her daughter-in-law had never given her such good things before, but she gave such an expensive gift to this old immortal.

Mrs. Sun didn't seem to notice the expressions on her mother-in-law, aunts, and younger siblings. After delivering the gifts, she returned to her seat and sat down. The wife of the second young master of the Li family could no longer hide now, so she took the gift she had prepared, a wolfskin cloak made by herself.

The second daughter-in-law originally planned to secretly keep the wolf skin collected from the mountain goods store for her husband to use. In the bitter cold of winter, everyone stayed in the greenhouse and did not go out. The old lady never left the house in winter. Only her husband had to stay in the drafty shop and suffer from the cold.

However, the old lady still has to make a grand celebration when she wants to celebrate her birthday. I couldn't live without a decent gift, so in the end my husband decided to use the wolf skin. The second son was really reluctant to let go, but there was nothing he could do.

Soon she will be Secretary Li's wife, a pretty little daughter-in-law. I heard that I just entered the house not long ago and I don’t have any children yet. He stood up with a smile and looked like he still had some baby fat.

"Ancestor, you also know that when we just got married, we just wanted to hope that you would live a long life. We wrote a picture of a hundred years of life together, wishing you health and longevity." The little daughter-in-law's voice was sweet, and she also said With the crispness of a girl. The gift he gave also pleased the old lady, and she suddenly became very happy.

No one paid attention to the expression of the second daughter-in-law of the Li family, ha! My gifts are not as valuable as my sister-in-law's, and now they are not as valuable as my younger siblings' filial piety. She might as well use the wolf skin to make a cloak for her husband, and give the old lady some embroidery or a copy of the scripture.

Then the group went to the courtyard where the banquet was held. As soon as Ms. Dong entered the courtyard, she was surrounded by many women. For a while, Mrs. Dong couldn't remember the person, but fortunately Mrs. Shui was there to remind her. Mingjia kept staring at her mother nervously, and she didn't miss her mother's hand twisting the handkerchief.

Mrs. Yan held the young lady and stood not far behind his wife. While looking at his wife, she scanned the people around her. Mrs. Yan rarely opens her mouth, but whenever she does, her words are astonishing.

For example, Mrs. Yan just told Mingjia that the headdress that Mrs. Sun is wearing today has been refurbished. However, the craftsmen are very good at craftsmanship, and few people can tell that it is not that easy to work in a restaurant in Chuanzhou.

As for the farce of giving gifts in the house just now, Mingjia himself could clearly see it. However, Granny Yan said that Li Shuli's wife was very hostile to her elder sister-in-law, who was Mrs. Sun. Mingjia didn't see it, but she trusted Mrs. Yan's judgment.

Mrs. Sun was also with Mr. Dong when the banquet was held. Ms. Sun always took good care of Mr. Dong. But it always gave Dong a sense of dissonance. Dong couldn't describe it. In short, it was very awkward.

There were other things to do after the meal, but Ms. Dong left early on the grounds that her child was sleepy. The carriage was far away. Mrs. Shui opened the corner of the curtain and saw Mrs. Sun standing at the door and the old lady behind her talking about something. She looked a little angry.

Mrs. Dong expressed her feelings. She wanted to ask Mrs. Shui and Mrs. Yan if she was worrying too much. The two mothers-in-law looked at each other and smiled. My wife has really grown up a lot now.

"My old slave has been observing for a long time. That Mrs. Sun is very high-spirited. She seems to be so low-key and petty today because she was ordered by the old lady behind her." Old lady Shui spoke first.

"Do you know whether the old lady is from the Li family or she brought her from the Sun family?" Mingjia asked. Mrs. Shui really likes young ladies and can always get to the point.

"After the banquet started, a mother-in-law from the Li family invited us to have dinner with the servants. The old slave took the opportunity to ask, and it was Sun who came here as a dowry." After finishing speaking, Mrs. Shui lowered her head and said nothing more.

It seems that this matter also involves the Sun official in Zhoucheng. Mingjia has not forgotten the loss of the young master of the Li family. That's Sun's biological son! The Li family didn't let the young master show his face today, which shows that the situation is still not good.

Mingjia felt that there must be something wrong with this matter. She couldn't figure it out, so she had to go back and ask Uncle Yuan. Ming Jia found that she seemed to be too dependent on Xie Boyuan now. She turned to Xie Boyuan for everything. Subconsciously, she really regarded Xie Boyuan as her master.

If Xie Boyuan knew about it, he would be very happy. He has wanted to accept this disciple for a long time. Moreover, he had already written a letter back to the capital and told the prince that he had a junior brother and a junior sister.
