Chapter 1324 Time Flies
he outer shell of the powder fruit is not broken open, it can be stored for a whole year without changing. When it is opened again next year, the white powder inside will turn slightly yellow.Peafowl...Liàn Yī listened to the two people's discussion for a while, but she couldn't resist sleepiness. She fell asleep sweetly. When she woke up the next day, Liǔ Píngpíng's matter had been settled. She was happily embroidering her wedding dress in her own room.
To protect Liu Pingping's innocence, Zhang Hulang finally decided to marry her. After all, he didn't think he would lose out in any way. He just had to pay a higher dowry. Liu Pozi demanded five taels of silver, and Zhang Hulang gritted his teeth and agreed.
He shouldn't shirk his responsibility. It concerns the chastity of the maiden from Liujia Village. If he plays coy, he won't even be able to leave the village.
After Liu Jia and Zhang Hualang had made an agreement to have a matchmaker visit, Liu Jia set the date for Liu Pingping's marriage before winter. Although the time was rather short, they could manage it as there were not many elaborate customs for farmers' daughters' marriages.
Liu Pozi also had her own selfish motives. Just as Hehua guessed, she wanted to use the dowry from marrying off her daughter to find a wife for her youngest son. Her youngest son was already twenty years old; if he didn't get married soon, when would she be able to hold her grandchildren
The ripple's move was a stroke of genius, resolving her fate of being sold. She could finally grow up with peace of mind for now.
After Liu Pingping got married, Old Madam Liu immediately asked a matchmaker to find a wife for her youngest son. However, the youngest son suddenly brought home a young woman and said he wanted to marry her.
The old woman thought her youngest son had found some shady woman in town and immediately called him back to question him. Only then did she find out that this woman named Feng Xu'er had once been a maidservant in a wealthy household in the county.
The result was favored by the young master and wanted to be taken as a concubine, but Fengxu'er was stubborn and didn't want to be one. Besides, she served as a maidservant in the mistress's room. If she became the young master's concubine, the mistress wouldn't let her live.
To protect herself and escape her fate as a concubine, she took the opportunity to scar her face, completely losing her eligibility to become a concubine. The mistress, considering her service, did not betray her and released Fengxu'er from her contract.
Feng Xu'er was sold to the mansion when she was very young, so she didn't know where her family was. She only remembered that they lived in Fenghe Town. After she became free, she packed her belongings and returned to Fenghe Town with her travel permit.
Upon her return, she naturally failed to find her relatives. She rented a room for herself and took on some embroidery work to support herself. Over time, she attracted the attention of local thugs. A single woman who earned silver was an excellent target.
So, once when Feng Xu'er was delivering embroidered goods, they blocked her. As a result, the day laborer Liu Dahua bumped into her and came to her rescue, saving her from harm. He even sent her back home safely.
Once they had met, the two quickly became acquainted. At that time, there was no incident with the book peddler yet, and their household had spent a lot of money on treating Liu's illness. Liu Dahua felt that he would have to arrange his own marriage, and he didn't dislike Feng Xu'er's scars on her face; instead, he thought Feng Xu'er was a woman with independence and principles.
Just so, his mother at home was a strong woman. If she were to marry into the Liu family, if she didn't want to be worn down by her mother-in-law, this kind of personality would actually be better. So after getting along for a while, Liu Dahua confessed everything to Feng Xuer.
Feng Xu'er had also secretly investigated Liu Dahua and even sent someone to Liujiacun to inquire about the Liu family. After learning that the two sisters-in-law were easy to get along with, she agreed to Liu Dahua.
After all, she can't stay single forever. This time it was because Liu Dali came to the rescue. If she encountered someone even more formidable next time, she wouldn't even have a chance to resist. It might be better to find a reliable husband. Having someone who understands and cares for her would also be a good thing.
When Liu Pozi learned that Fengxu'er had no family, she became even more satisfied. This way, she could treat her however she pleased and mold her as she saw fit. Moreover, upon learning that the other party possessed a rather skillful embroidery skill, she felt that Fengxu'er was a golden goose. As long as she kept this person under her thumb, she wouldn't have to worry about running out of silver.
At this point, she didn't mind that the man had injuries on his face. After all, he had brought ten taels of silver, a considerable sum. Just for the sake of the silver, she would agree to this marriage.
So, not long after Liu Pingping got married, during the Chinese New Year, Liu Dahulu also became a husband and took Fengxuer into his family.
Fengxu'er had not been in the house for three months when her second sister-in-law, Hellahua, gave birth to a girl. It was also a girl for the first birth. The old woman Liu was furious and started scolding again, thinking that it was the eldest daughter-in-law's head that wasn't working properly, so even the second son had a girl.
Could ripples give her nominal grandmother such arrogance Of course not. So after scolding the person this time, Old Willow went to the latrine feeling refreshed and clear-headed, but she directly fell into the pit. If it weren't for Feng Xuer discovering her, she would have suffocated in the pit.
This time, the Liu family's courtyard stank for four or five days, and Old Mrs. Liu also calmed down. She was scared this time, thinking she would really be suffocated to death.
The old woman who looked like a demon, known as Ripples, had quieted down. She continued to start drawing qi into her body. This plane had spiritual energy, but it was very thin. It wasn't much, but it was better than nothing. Ripples's body, nurtured by the spirit spring, was basically free of impurities. After half a year of effort, she finally succeeded in drawing qi into her body.
They were living a leisurely life, and when Lianyi was two and a half years old, Zhuang Sisi finally became pregnant with their second child. At the same time, Hoa and Fengxu'er were also pregnant.
Now that there are three pregnant women in the house, Lianyi acts like a little adult, taking care of the three pregnant women at home and finding opportunities to nourish their bodies.
On this side, Lianyi was living a carefree life, but Xin Yuan and Qing Ran, who had descended two breaths earlier than her, were in a completely different, strange situation.
Xin Yuan and Qing Ran were born into royalty, and by a stroke of luck, they both ended up in the womb of the Crown Princess, becoming siblings, truly a family in every sense of the word.
The two were only two years apart in age, but because of the Immortal Emperor of Destiny's stroke of his brush, both of them had their cultivation and memories sealed. Therefore, they happily became siblings.
And by nature, Qing Ran, this older sister, had a strong possessive desire towards Xin Yuan, her younger brother. She only allowed herself to play with him and wouldn't let him interact with the other children of their father king. When Xin Yuan asked about it, she gave him a serious look and instructed:
"Xinyuan, you are the legitimate son and will be the crown prince of the Dacheng Dynasty in the future. They are illegitimate sons, not born to the same mother as you. In the future, they will also compete for your position. What are you playing with them You can't avoid being schemed against by them. Only I am your biological sister, how could I harm you"
Xinyuan listened vaguely, but knowing his elder sister wouldn't harm him, he obediently only played with her. This situation continued until he was five years old and moved to the front yard to start studying in the study room.
Time flies, when Li'an was six years old, she and Er Ya were responsible for taking care of their three younger brothers at home. They also took on the chores of feeding the chickens and cleaning the house, and occasionally went to the foot of the mountain to collect firewood.
As the eldest sister in the family, Lian'er was very authoritative. This was established when she was five years old. One time, Old Willow wanted to find an excuse to beat her, but she kicked Old Willow into the chicken coop with one foot. At that time, the other children were stunned, and even Old Willow was dumbfounded. She didn't know how she ended up in the chicken coop.
Still, the ripples tugged at her collar, pulling her out of the nest and then tossing her onto the bed before it reacted.e stewed some meat for him to bring over, so he can have something warm to eat."The ripples raised the water jar in her hand.The nurse nodded, then said seriously:“He’s elderly and, with his blood pre...
