Chapter 375 I’m here to join you
They had not expected that Pei Yu would send so many betrothal gifts. If A Li's dowry was not as much as the betrothal gifts, would she be looked down upon by the people in the palace?
"I'll discuss this with your father tonight."
"Well, if that's not enough, we still have some silver there."
Lin Cuicui patted her hands and said, "No need, keep the money there for yourself and Achi."
The eldest daughter-in-law had this intention and was not greedy for Ali's betrothal gift, so she was already very satisfied.
"Don't worry, your father and his friends will leave a portion of their earnings for you."
Fearing that Xu Taohua might have some thoughts in her mind, Lin Cuicui comforted her.
Xu Taohua smiled and said, "Mom, I don't have those thoughts. We suffered a lot in the past, but now we live a good life. I know very well that all this is caused by Ah Li."
Since she has enjoyed the benefits brought by Shen Li, she cannot do anything to hurt her. Not to mention other people, even she herself cannot get over this hurdle.
Lin Cuicui smiled and said, "Mother knew that you are a kind-hearted child."
Shen Changshan and his sons were entertaining Pei Yu. After most of the outsiders in the hall had left, several people saw Pei Yu pick up the Yu letter, look at it again and again, then solemnly put it in a box and handed it to his subordinates.
Shen Li looked at him with a smile. When the father and his two sons saw this scene, they instantly felt a toothache.
Shen Changshan: "Hey, Zi'an, A-Li, have some tea."
Shen Qi'an couldn't bear it anymore. His own sister was going to become someone else's.
"Ali, didn't you say you were going to make a new dish today?"
Shen Li looked at her father and brother, and realized that they were feeling upset, so she continued along the lines of her fourth brother.
"Well, there are indeed new dishes. You guys chat while I go get the food out."
Pei Yu watched the people walk out of the yard eagerly, and turned around to see three people looking at him with sharp eyes.
"Uncle, eldest brother and fourth brother, you don't have to be so defensive against me. We will be a family sooner or later."
The three of them nodded without saying anything. Isn't that something for the future?
Pei Yu was also helpless, knowing that their love for Ali was genuine and that Ali valued her family very much, and he did not want the two of them to quarrel over this matter.
"I have no relatives. After I marry A-Li, you will be my family. My house is a little empty. If you are free in the future, you can come and accompany A-Li."
"If I have to lead the troops to war, Ali can go back and live here, or you can come and live here."
After hearing this, the father and his two sons' eyes instantly brightened up. Is there such a good thing?
After Ali gets married, she can go home often, or they can go visit her.
The father and his two sons all relaxed their expressions at the same time, and the atmosphere in the living room became harmonious again.
"Yes, yes, Zi'an is right. We are all family. We should visit each other more often in the future. If you get married in the future, where will you live?"
Pei Yu: "I have been living in Beijing for the past few years, but that may change in the future."
Shen Changshan touched his chin and said, "Is that so?"
So maybe you can consider living in Beijing so that you can meet him whenever you want.
If we still lived in Daohua Village, it would not be difficult to see each other once a year.
Besides, isn't the fourth child going to study at the Imperial Academy? Then why not just stay in the capital for a while and talk about the future later.
Yes, that's feasible. Let's discuss it with them first.
Lu Jing was silent as he looked at the familiar scene outside the carriage. Lu Nian, who was standing beside him, had gotten up too early this morning and was dozing off.
After the engagement, the couple will get married very soon, and it will be very difficult to see each other again in the future.
He smiled and shook his head. Since he didn't have the courage, he would just hide this love deep in his heart.
He will always stand behind Ali and help her whenever she needs him.
As for the rest, Lu Jing looked at his sister who was nodding her head and thought it was not important anymore.
"Anian, wake up, your saliva is about to flow down."
Lu Nian opened his eyes dazedly, reached out to touch his chin, and muttered, "Brother, you are lying. I don't drool when I sleep."
Lu Jing lifted the car curtain and motioned for her to look outside, "Then look at where we are?"
"Yes, it's Daohua Village."
He reached out and patted his face to shake off the remaining sleepiness. He had been worried about his elder brother and stayed up all night last night. He also got up too early this morning. Plus, it was warm in the carriage, so he couldn't control his sleepiness.
"Brother, can you please check if my hair is messy?"
"No."
Soon the carriage stopped at the door of Shen's house. The door of Shen's house was closed, and there was no lively atmosphere at all.
Lu Nian asked the coachman to knock on the door. After seeing that it was the Lu siblings, he quickly led them into the small living room, then trotted off to tell the host.
"master."
Shen Changshan and the others were chatting with Pei Yu. When they saw the servant come in, they guessed that someone else had arrived.
"Master, Master Lu and Miss Lu are here."
"They are here. What a coincidence. Please invite them in."
"Yes."
Shen Qi'an looked at Pei Yu and asked, "Did the prince call someone here?"
"Well," Pei Yu picked up the teacup and said calmly, "I have something to discuss with Lu Jing. It just so happens that I have been traveling a lot recently and I am too lazy to run, so I asked him to come over."
Shen Qian'an didn't believe what he said. There must be more to it than that, but it had nothing to do with him.
Seeing that my father and elder brother believed it, I shook my head, thinking that they were indeed easy to fool.
Soon the brother and sister came in, Lu Jing walked in front, and Lu Nian walked behind with a menacing look, as if he wanted to settle the score with Pei Yu.
But when she saw Pei Yu sitting at the top, the arrogance in her heart instantly disappeared.
He quietly moved two steps behind his eldest brother. Wow, why is this guy becoming more and more powerful?
Lu Nian felt sympathy for his elder brother in his heart for a few seconds, and had already forgotten about his previous idea of seeking revenge.
He can't beat her, and his status is not as high as others. Alas, her poor brother.
"Your Majesty."
Lu Jing's sister pulled over to his side and saluted Pei Yu.
Pei Yu nodded slightly, "Since you have come from afar, you are a guest. Please take a seat."
Seeing his attitude of being the master of the house, Lu Jing felt bitter in his mouth and was determined to let it go, but when he actually saw this scene, he still felt uncomfortable.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Lu Jing looked up at Shen Changshan and said, "Uncle, I am sorry for disturbing you today."
Shen Changshan waved his hand, "Ah Jing, you are just too polite. It's no bother. Didn't I ask you to bring Ah Nian here last time? Come and sit down and talk."
Pei Yu sat on the left, Shen Jingyuan and Shen Qian'an sat below him, so Lu Jing had to take his sister to sit opposite him.
