Chapter 439 Arrive in the capital
Jiang Yi and his wife were also very happy to see everyone in the Li family. They immediately came forward and said, "My wife, aunt, aunt, and old slave are finally waiting for you. Hurry up and get in the car. The old man, wife, and grandma are all at home." Waiting for you, my wife has been talking about it for the past few days, and it's time for you too."

The servants of the Jiang family happily helped the members of the Li family to load their luggage into the car. Fortunately, there are many shops renting cars at this pier, otherwise the carriage that Jiang Yi brought would definitely not be enough for the members of the Li family.

The members of the Li family were divided into two carriages, Li Meier, Mrs. Li, Mrs. Jiang, and three younger ones sat in a carriage, and Li Yan, Jiang Youzhi, Jiang Shanqingkang, and several men sat in a carriage.

When the carriage approached the gate of the capital, all the Li family were dumbfounded, even Jiang Shanqing who had seen the world widely in his life.

On the wide official road where eight carriages can run side by side, there are long queues of various carriages waiting to enter the city.

On the three-foot-high blue-brick city tower, there stood soldiers in neat armor and holding weapons in their hands. The noise on the road fell silent when they approached the gate of the capital, with a spontaneous solemnity and majesty. Mrs. Li squinted her eyes and opened her mouth halfway, and said with emotion, "What a mother!" She has grown up in the world!
The Li family's eyes have never been idle since they entered the imperial capital city. Although it is a bit rustic to stretch their necks to look at the scenery of the capital in a daze, it is really hard not to look at it!
"Hey, no wonder people say that if you want to learn more, you have to come to the capital!" Mrs. Li thought that she sighed in a low voice, but because she came to the capital for the first time and grew up in the world, she couldn't hold down her voice in a moment of excitement, making a lot of noise. Everyone heard it, and even the people on the street looked at the old lady who was staring out the car window.

The Li family all agreed with this statement, and Li Meier nodded, "Yes, look at that tower, oh, it's really mighty!" There are also topics.

Mrs. Li nodded heavily, "Why don't you say it's the imperial city!"

Brother Jian also said softly, "It's so tall! It's even taller than the ones in our town!"

Kang Geer said, "It's higher than the state capital!"

Jiang Shi pursed her lips and smiled, "I didn't come here for nothing, it really opened my eyes."

Li Yan, Jiang Youzhi, and Jiang Shanqing, because of their status as Juren, flicked their clothes with restraint, and while staring wide-eyed at the grandeur of the capital, each of them brewed several small sour poems in their stomachs, and they were ready to write them out and recite them.

Jiang Yi talked about the prosperity along the road with Li's family, and arrived at Jiang's house after talking.

Jiang Yanzhi has not come back from his job in the Imperial Academy, and now the Jiang family can be regarded as a family of officials, and there are two concierges at the door. When the aunt and wife's family from their hometown arrived, one of them rushed in to deliver the letter, and the other greeted him and led the way.

Mrs. Li looked around at Jiang's house, and saw that the red bricks and blue tiles were very grand, and there were no shortage of flowers, rocks and rockery inside. She thought that it would be good to be an official, and she is now grand.

Li Meier also smiled and said to her mother, "My uncle has become rich."

Her natal family is doing well, and Jiang's eyes are full of smiles, "It's not easy for your uncle." Although it's good to see my brother's house, but my brother now has three sons, and he will look for marriage in the imperial capital in the future. Not a daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Li agrees with the words of her girl's film, and when she looks at this house, she knows that uncle is well-off.Alas, didn't you say that the Hanlin Academy has nothing to offer?My uncle's official rank is not high, and it is said that his salary is limited. Where did he get the money to buy such a large house.

Mrs. Li thought about it, but she didn't come up with a reason. It can only be attributed to the uncle's ability and his own channels for getting money.

The Li family passed through the double courtyard, and the two elders of the Jiang family took Zhou Hanyu and the little grandson Jiang Jue to pick them up with smiles on their faces, especially the Xu family, who was so excited that his eyes were red, and the most important thing in his heart was his daughter and son. The son-in-law, the grandson, and the granddaughter are gone, but you have to say hello to your in-laws, Mrs. Li, so you can't be rude.

Mrs. Xu held Mrs. Li's hand and said joyfully, "Dear-in-law, I'm looking forward to you."

Mrs. Li also giggled, "Dear-in-law, I miss you!" As soon as the two families saw each other, they felt that they had endless things to say.

Zhou Hanyu saw that everyone was talking outside, so he smiled and said, "Mother, it's cold outside, let the old lady, sister, brother-in-law, brother-in-law and children go in first, don't freeze."

"Yes, that's what you said." Mrs. Xu wiped away the excited tears from the corners of her eyes, and led the people into the house.

Mrs. Xu looked at her daughter and son, and couldn't speak clearly when she was happy. Li Meier and Kang Geer cleverly went to each side to hold the grandmother's arm, and Jiang Youzhi went to help his father.

Jiang's Li Yan was with Mrs. Li, and told Mrs. Li that she had a lot of face. She felt that her son and daughter-in-law were filial, and her grandson and granddaughter had good eyesight.

The whole family entered the house where the second elder of the Jiang family lived. It was cold, and there were charcoal basins in the house, and they felt warm when they entered the house.

Outside, she already felt that the Jiang family's house was rich, but when she arrived at Xu's house, Mrs. Li realized that she was inferior to her in-laws and wives.

Not to mention, the cotton curtains in the wife's room are all made of blue silk embroidered with plum blossoms, and the bottles and cans on the table and case are so hard to see, especially the ones that rely on On the table on the wall, there is actually a pair of golden birthday stars, which almost did not dazzle Mrs. Li's eyes.

Everyone greeted each other and greeted the elder's body. As soon as they sat down, a maid in a green dress and a green dress came up to serve tea. Zhou Hanyu also specially ordered, "Brother Jian is small, warm up a cup of milk."

Seeing that her daughter-in-law is careful and her eyes are full of children, Mrs. Xu babbled, "Mei Meier has grown so tall. She was only so tall when our family went to the capital." She gestured and said, "Brother Kang My son has grown up too."

As he said that, he hugged brother Jian in his arms again, and the two twins naturally hugged him once in a rare way, but they were reluctant to let go after hugging them, and shed tears again happily.

Speaking of which, it was the first time for Mrs. Xu to see Brother Jian and twins.

Mrs. Jiang looked at the little fellow who was following Zhou Hanju with a smile, and asked, "Is this brother Zhen?"

Li Meier saw that the little guy was only three or four years old, with big eyes, a high nose, white and soft like a ball, wearing a red cotton robe, with a gold collar around his neck, like a child in a painting, and hugged him with a smile Here, show it to Mrs. Jiang and say, "Brother Zhen looks exactly like Brother Zhang when he was a child."

Mrs. Jiang took Brother Zhen and hugged her in her arms, and said with a smile, "Isn't that right, it was carved out of the same mold."
