Yang Yichen has written a letter, planning to give Liu Qingxi a big surprise.
Zhang Wuliang was extremely happy, even more so than when his eldest son got married. He stroked his chin and thought, "If we set off for the capital quickly, it will still take us over half a month. The weather is cold now, and the ice hasn't melted yet. We will have to wait until spring, giving us more than a month to prepare."
Liu nodded, "Alright. This letter also mentions San You's Family, Dafu's House, and Liu Family's Fourth Son and Fifth Son. I need to notify them first so they can prepare in advance."
As for the surprise, when Liu Qingxi sees it, she will surely be delighted.
Thus, aside from Zhang Wuliang's family, several households in Ten Li Pu became lively that afternoon.
The letter from the capital was passed around among them repeatedly.
In Liu Laowu's home, Zhao's lips trembled with excitement, tears in her eyes. "Qingxi has finally made it! I'm so happy for her. It's a pity that I'm too far along in my pregnancy to attend."
By the time the two get married, Zhao would have recently given birth. As a new mother with a child, traveling would be quite difficult.
There was some regret; after all, if they had been driven out of Liu Family by the Wang family without Liu Qingxi's help, their living standards would not have improved, and they wouldn't have had extra money to take care of their health.
Having worked hard for over ten years in Liu Family, waking up early and working late, her health had suffered. It was no wonder she struggled to conceive.
Later on, as her health gradually improved and her mood brightened, a child naturally came along.
Therefore, the baby in her belly owes much to Liu Qingxi; their family felt grateful.
Liu understood this situation well and patted Zhao's shoulder. "It's alright; there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Your primary task now is to take good care of your child. If you can't go later on, let Fifth Son go alone."
"Alright then. I need to prepare more things for Qingxi's wedding; while I can still move around now, I won't be able to do much during my confinement."
"Okay, you focus on preparing for Fifth Family’s needs but don't overexert yourself. I'll go notify other families."
This time, Yang Yichen invited everyone from the village who had a good relationship with Liu Qingxi and treated her like family.
They were determined to give Liu Qingxi a grand wedding and make her the happiest bride.
In the capital after the New Year, Yang Yichen mysteriously left early in the morning and returned only at night. The Wen Family remarked, "This child never tells us what she's up to; we hardly see her."
However, she only murmured a few words. Compared to Yang Yichen's busyness, Liu Qingxi was even more so; she had watched Liu Qingxi grow up, and her character, abilities, and personality were exactly what she valued. After all these years, the two children were finally getting married, and she took out all her belongings to prepare the betrothal gifts.
Nanny Wen saw her sister so happy and joined in the joy: "Sister, you can finally have your wishes fulfilled. Once these two get married, we can expect a big fat baby next year."
The Wen Family happily weighed the jewelry in the box: "No, this isn't enough. Let's go to the Silver Shop and take a look."
With several shops opening one after another, the Wen Family was about to clear out the Silver Shop, yet they still felt it wasn't enough.
"I feel sorry for this child; she has suffered so much, being without parents. Just thinking about it makes my heart ache. I want to give her the best so that others know how much we, the Yang Family, value this daughter-in-law. Qingxi is the daughter-in-law I have chosen; no one can change that."
"Sister is kind-hearted, and Miss Liu is also a good one. She will definitely be filial to you alongside Young Master in the future." Nanny Wen was not mistaken; she had observed Liu Qingxi for several years and found her to be exceptional.
Before long, the Wen Family arrived at the largest Silver Shop on Azure Dragon Street. After the New Year, perhaps people were still immersed in festive joy, so business wasn't particularly booming.
As soon as the Wen Family entered, a clerk quickly came forward to greet them: "Madam Yang, what can I assist you with today? Would you like me to introduce something?"
Don't ask why the clerk was so enthusiastic; it was simply because after reopening for business post-New Year, every time the Wen Family visited, they never left empty-handed. They always chose beautiful and precious jewelry without caring about the price.
To be honest, given the seemingly ordinary attire of the Wen Family in the capital, no one would expect them to be so generous.
"Do you have any new headpieces? I've seen those few already; if there are new items, bring them out for me to see. If not, then it's fine." The Wen Family had already seen many of the jewelry pieces here; if there was nothing new, they would just move on to the next shop.
"Yes, yes! Madam Yang, we have prepared some for you; we just received a new batch today." The clerk smiled broadly.
There was no way around it; just their spending at this shop could support his living expenses for the year. This year he wouldn't have to worry about making ends meet.
For an entire year, he could do nothing but rely on commissions that amounted to quite a sum.
So how could he not be enthusiastic towards his benefactor, the Wen Family? He had to be exceedingly warm and welcoming.
"Madam Yang, it truly is a blessing to be your daughter-in-law. Where else would you find someone who treats people like you do? Even men would envy such kindness."
Such generosity was hard for many noble families in the capital to match. Moreover, considering that the Wen Family had only recently arrived in Beijing without any foundation made it even more remarkable.
However, after investigating later on regarding their background, he discovered that their son held a position in court as a Fifth Rank official. In Beijing, it was easy enough to encounter high-ranking officials; their status wasn't particularly grand after all.
However, it is rare for Lord Yang, at such a young age, to maintain his integrity and possess exceptional abilities, earning the favor of the Sovereign.
His future is undoubtedly bright.
"Fellow, you really know how to talk. Let me take a look at the new jewelry." When the Wen Family arrived, they felt unprepared.
Originally, during their time in Ten Li Pu, she had prepared quite a bit over the years, but later, when Yang Yichen was suddenly transferred to the capital, the two children decided to get married here.
At that time, due to the inconvenience of carrying things back and forth, everything was left behind. Now, the betrothal gifts needed to be prepared anew.
However, being able to personally handle her son's wedding arrangements made her quite happy. With no shortage of money, she wished she could bring the entire street home.
At that moment, the Wen Family's eyes lit up. A set of jade headpieces caught her attention; it was uniquely designed, intricately carved, and had a transparent quality with no impurities—clearly of superior quality.
At a glance, the Wen Family was drawn to this set. As for the others nearby, they seemed rather ordinary in comparison.
At this moment, besides her and Nanny Wen along with two maidservants, there were also two other ladies selecting items in the shop.
One of them scoffed disdainfully with a cold snort, "Country bumpkin, can you even afford it?"
Her voice wasn't loud, but everyone in the shop could hear it. The Wen Family paused for a moment before decisively waving her hand and saying, "I'll take this set." She made the purchase without hesitation, completely unconcerned about whether she had enough money.
