The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 296 A ritual with ulterior motives

On August [-]th, the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jingli unexpectedly received a gift from Tantai Lin.

There were five carts full of gifts, and everyone in Jingjia Village, adults and children, had a share, even Huang Biao, his wife, nephews and nieces who had just arrived.

Mrs. Ge knew in her heart that if this was not done in accordance with the son-in-law's gift to her mother's family, she would not believe it even to death.

After receiving so many benefits and saving her life, it seems that this girl can't survive without getting married.

Jingli didn't think so much. Tantai Lin was thousands of miles away now. Uncle Fang probably took care of this ceremony, so naturally everything was missed.

Her gift was given by Wanbaoquan, a square box containing a picture album the size of a book page and a pile of various gems.

Jing Li picked up the picture album and looked through it slowly. There were mountains and rivers in the south, as well as some unknown flowers, plants, birds and beasts.

There are fights on the battlefield, and there are also lonely figures under the lonely moon.

There are soldiers celebrating, and there are also tall and tall trees standing on the top of Lingfeng Mountain.

Following those pages of pictures, Jing Li seemed to see Tantai Lin thousands of miles away, how he killed the enemy, and how he was waiting to tell her about the scenery thousands of miles away with a tiny pen in his hand.

There wasn't a single word from beginning to end. He must have been resentful and didn't want to leave a message with her.

Jing Li closed the picture album, feeling a little touched in her heart. Should she give him a gift in return?

Tie Yuer shouted at the door: "Sister, it's time to eat moon cakes! This year's moon cakes are delicious!"

In the Jing family's courtyard, the tables were laid out and a long flowing mat was pulled out.

The entire village of Beishui Village was here. Wang Lizheng from Beishan Village and Uncle He from the shanty town were also seated in the courtyard.

Uncle Tiesheng came forward and invited Uncle He and Wang Lizheng to come forward and sit at the main table with Mr. Jing.

Uncle He waved his hands repeatedly: "I dare not do this. It is already a great blessing for the old man to let the young man come over and join in the fun. How can I dare to sit at the same table with the old man!"

Zhao Orion laughed loudly and said: "Uncle He, there is no need to be so polite. Our family also escaped from famine last year. Fortunately, the whole family worked together, and today we can sit around and have a reunion dinner."

Several people pulled Uncle He to sit down, and Wang Lizheng also said with a smile: "Time flies so fast. In just one year, he has acquired such a large family property, which makes us locals envious!"

Mr. Jing smiled with a smile on his face: "It's because the children are willing to endure hardships and are willing to work hard, otherwise this good life would never have happened!"

"Sister-in-law Youcai, let's go and eat quickly!" Jing Damei came over and pulled Wang Youcai's family to leave.

Wang Youcai's family kept refusing: "I won't go. The guy in my house drank it without even looking at it. What would I say if I went over and sat there again!"

"Besides, the bowl hasn't been washed yet!"

Jing Damei pulled her up: "Don't wash, we won't be able to finish washing until dawn. When we finish our work, we all wash together. Let's go, let's eat first!"

Mrs. Huang smacked her lips at the dishes on the table: "Sister, this is too much!"

God!How much money does it cost to put chicken, duck, goose and fish on the table together, not to mention the hoof meat that is piled up like a hill and the oily pork rib soup stewed in a large basin.

Old Mrs. Fan pursed her lips and said, "What a shame! I've been so busy this year and it's all because of my stuttering!"

"It's not a big holiday, it's time to have a good meal! Come on, eat, eat! Don't stop using your chopsticks!" She lost two more teeth this time, and if she doesn't eat something delicious, she will have to drink soup in the future.

Wang Dun'er stood in front of Jing Dafu with a drink in his hand: "Master, Master of the county, I have decided to have a drink with you!"

"Who would believe it? My eight generations of ancestors, Wang Dun'er, have never seen Mr. Guan. This time I can actually eat and drink at the same table as Mr. Guan!"

"Wow! If my father and mother saw it in heaven, I don't know how happy they would be!"

His family has been working with the Jing family this year, and his wife has led the old ladies in the village to do business. In the past six months, the family has made several hundred taels of income.

If he hadn't been too busy and there were things like locust plagues and starving people, his family would have imitated the example of building a house with blue bricks and large tiles here.

In the past, I would have never dared to think about it. In previous years, the bastard in front of me was so upright that it would be good for the family to tighten their belts and fill their bellies. Who would have thought that they could still have savings now.

With money in his hands and grain in his barn, Wang Dun'er felt extremely comfortable these days. Now that he saw Jing Dafu, he was moved to tears.

"Damn it! He hasn't even had a drink yet, but he's already talking nonsense!" Wang Dun's daughter-in-law laughed and cursed.

Fortunately, that damn old lady died early, otherwise, I still have to serve her in this great day, which would make me die of agony!

Wang Youcai's family was also very emotional. Her family's life this year was not at all good. With the number of sons in the family, when the Jing family was not busy, her family took the opportunity to build their own house. It was no longer the same as before. Thatched hut.

At this moment, she didn't care about eating, and just talked to Jing Damei: "Sister, I told you about that last time, how did you think about it?"

Lao Beishan's life is getting better now, and the people nearby are starting to stare at the girls and boys in the Jing family compound.

Beishan Village is close, and the wealth does not go to outsiders, so naturally I don't want to miss it. Unfortunately, there are too few girls in the Jing family, and there are many boys, but the girls in many families have married early.

Many people regret marrying girls at the beginning of the year. Why are they so busy? If they had known better, they would have married into the Jing family.

Look at how grand that house is, with walls made entirely of blue bricks and no yellow mud at all. The foundation is made of several layers of hard stone. Even if the river overflows, nothing will happen to the house.

If you marry in Beishui Village, you can go back and forth to your in-laws' house for a bowl of rice. It's close and convenient. Besides, the old ladies of the Jing family are very nice people and will never do anything like teasing their daughter-in-law. thing.

The eldest sister-in-law of Wang Youcai's family has been whispering to her sister-in-law several times now, and she wants to marry her little girl.

The first person Wang Youcai's family chose was Li Suozi from Jing Damei's family. Since then, he has grown up well and is willing to endure hardships. Now he has learned good medical skills. The craftsman will never die of hunger.

Nowadays, when doctors make money, who can negotiate the price, so Wang Youcai's family boldly came to ask Jing Damei directly.

She had already asked this, so Jing Damei had no choice but to say something: "Sister-in-law Youcai, if anyone else comes to ask, I will not talk about it, but since you are here to ask, I will definitely give you an answer."

"You also know that there is no one in my family anymore. The old lady and the old man in this courtyard have to decide whether to marry or not. I don't have the final say alone."

"Furthermore, our family is different from others. Not only does the old man see what he likes, but the young man also has to see it. After all, it is the young couple's business to live their own lives, don't you think?"

Wang Youcai's family nodded hurriedly: "I know, I know!"

I made up my mind and asked my niece to come over and have a look.

We are talking about marriage here, and at this time, Yecheng is holding a wedding ceremony.
