peasant girl wedding

Chapter 222
Ji Li smiled, "Thank you, Empress Dowager."

"The girl, Aijia, has seen it before. In that case, Aijia will give you a decree."

"My minister thanked the empress dowager."

"Okay, it's cold on the ground, get up."

"Yes."

Ji Li got up and returned to his seat.

On the opposite side, the eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the queen mother did not pursue it, otherwise...

Although Ji Li did not succeed in conferring a marriage, Ji Ji did succeed.

The queen mother betrothed the princess of Huainan to Ji Ji.

The season responded with a smile.

A gift of marriage is also a joy.

The banquet was active again, but everyone's eyes were fixed on Ji Li from time to time.

For a woman surnamed Tong, he refused the queen mother's offer of marriage. Who is this Tong Xiangjun?

"Mr. Tongxiang, in this world, I only know one Mr. Tongxiang."

"Oh? Who is it? But someone with a beautiful appearance and a lot of talent?"

"Mr. Tongxiang is famous all over the world, not because of his appearance or talent."

"Oh?" Everyone was even more curious.

"Qingzhou Tong Xiangjun, this person was named the Xiangjun by the emperor because of the secret recipe of tofu. When everyone talks about tofu, he will talk about her, so she is famous all over the world."

"Pfft——"

Someone couldn't help but laugh.

"If you are a small family, a reckless man is a reckless man. Even if you are made a prince, you can't change the savagery in your bones."

Said with disdain for Ji Changrong who was promoted to the Duke of the country.

A woman's face flushed red when she heard such remarks.

She wasn't shy because of how many people there were, but she was just pissed off.

The queen mother asked her in advance that she wanted to marry Ji Guogong's two sons.

When Ji Li went to war, she met him in a teahouse from a distance. Unlike other warriors, Ji Li was born like a frail scholar, and he immediately captured her heart.

Knowing that the Empress Dowager is going to give her and Ji Li a marriage, the woman is very nervous, excited and looking forward to it.

However, today, Ji Li publicly rejected the Queen Mother's offer of marriage.

The woman he wants to marry is just as talented as Xu Wenfang, or someone with outstanding looks. However, Ji Li wants to marry a woman from a small family.

This is not only a refusal to marry, but also a humiliation to her.

Could it be that the daughter of her majestic servant minister is not as good as someone from a small family?

The woman stood up and angrily walked towards Ji Li's table.

A person blocked her and reached Ji Li's table first.

.........

Qin An was drinking alone, occasionally saying hello to people who came over.

The entire imperial garden was filled with cups and cups of wine, talking and laughing, but none of it belonged to him.

Today is New Year's Eve, a day of family reunion, but he didn't feel any joy of reunion in his heart.

why?

Qin An frowned.

He has a kind and virtuous wife, and everything goes well in the house.

On New Year's Eve, why couldn't he feel joy.

Until, hearing that person from Ji Li's mouth, Qin An thought of that name, and a surge of liking surged in his heart.

For a long time, he didn't think of Tong Zhi'er.

That smart, cunning, lively girl.

Mrs. Qin has been looking worriedly at Qin An opposite.

She knew that he was not in a good mood.

As a wife, she is naturally anxious.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on Qin An's face.

Mrs. Qin finally laughed.

Some sisters came over to say hello, teasing her that she only cares about affection on this occasion and ignores others.

She smiled and apologized to her sisters, and bowed her head to drink and laugh with them.

Inadvertently raised his head to look at Qin An, who would have thought that the opposite table was empty.

Looking around, she finally found him.

"General Ji."

Ji Li raised his head and looked at the person who came, "Master Hou."

"General Ji, would you mind sitting down and having a glass of wine?"

"Your Majesty, please feel free."

Qin An lifted his robe and sat cross-legged opposite Ji Li.

He was really casual, after Ji Li poured a glass of wine, he brought over the jug and poured a glass.

"It's boring to drink alone. It's still tasteful to drink with two people."

Qin An raised his wine glass and looked at Ji Li with a smile.

Ji Li raised his eyebrows, took the jug to fill up the wine glass, and clinked glasses with him.

"And what about your master?"

Someone smiled at Madam Qin.

Mrs. Qin turned her face, "Let's continue talking..."

Three rounds of wine.

A faint blush appeared on Ji Li's cheeks.

Qin An smiled, "General Ji seems a bit overwhelmed with alcohol."

Ji Li let out a "hmm".

Qin An was a little surprised. He didn't expect that General Ji, who looked indifferent, was actually such a frank person.

After getting to know Ji Li, Qin An got up and left.

At the end of the banquet, it turned into a harem concubine flattering and competing for favor in front of the emperor.Ji Li stood up and found a quiet place to stand.

"General Ji——"

A woman's voice came.

Ji Li turned around and saw a woman standing there, raising her foot to leave.

"General Ji, please stay."

"Is something wrong?"

Ji Li didn't look back, said.

"Miss, let's go back quickly. If this is seen, it will be bad for Miss's reputation."

The girl next to the woman said worriedly.

"You stand here, I have important things to do."

The woman held up her skirt and stood still in front of Ji Li.

"General Ji, why do you want to humiliate me like this?"

Ji Li frowned, "Girl, I don't know you."

"Why did you refuse the marriage offer from the Empress Dowager?" the woman blushed and said, talking about this made her feel even more embarrassed.

Ji Li now understood who she was.

"The girl misunderstood. I don't mean to humiliate the girl."

"But you refused the marriage offer! You would rather marry a woman from a small family than marry me. If this is not humiliating me, what is it? Dare to ask the general, what did I do that the general hates?" something?"

"The girl and I have never met before, and the fact of giving the marriage is really because I have something in my heart. If the girl wants to go wrong, there is nothing I can do."

"you……"

"Girl, farewell."

Ji Li didn't pause, and quickly disappeared from the woman's sight.

"Miss……"

The woman's girl came over and looked at her worriedly.

"Hmph, I want to see what this Tong Xiangjun looks like?"

.........

Tong Zhi'er's family in Qingzhou naturally didn't know what happened in the palace.

At this moment, the big guys are eating New Year's Eve dinner together in the main room.

After dinner, Fang Cuiwei and the others cleared the table, and the big guys warmed up to the fire together.

Tong Zhi'er and Tong Zhu'er came over with snacks from the house, and everyone talked and laughed, watching the year while warming up the fire.

In the early hours of the morning, there was a rumbling sound in the sky.

It's time to set off the fireworks. Tong Zhi'er, Tong Zhu'er, Fang Ruyan and Tong Zhaofu surrounded Tong Zhixin, followed by Fang Cuiwei, Tong Duo'er and others, and they walked into the yard together.

"Father, the fireworks are brought, it's time to light them."

Tong Zhu'er looked at Tong Zhixin expectantly.

Tong Zhixin patted her head, and soon, Tong Zhu'er ran back and stood with Tong Zhi'er and others.

Tong Zhixin took half of the fire and lit the firework with the firewood of Hsing Zi, and then walked over in big strides.

"boom----"

Silver fireworks bloom in the dark night.

The firecrackers continued, and the blossoming fireworks.

Tong Zhier stared at the flashing fireworks in the sky, feeling emotional.

Whether it is modern or ancient, the Chinese New Year is the same.

Members, happiness and warmth.

After the fireworks were over and everyone washed their feet, they went to their houses and fell asleep.

Tong Zhixin's house has a lot of rooms, but Tong Zhide's family has enough room when they return to their own home.

In a blink of an eye, it was fifteen.

Today is the Lantern Festival.

Fang Cui kneaded the dough slightly, planning to make glutinous rice balls for dinner.

Tong Zhi'er and Tong Zhu'er helped her.

Tong Duo'er and Dong Ping went to Dong's house in Xinglin to pay New Year's greetings. They stayed longer, and they would not come back until after the Lantern Festival.

"Mom, can you make glutinous rice balls?"

Tong Zhaofu came out of the house and asked.

Fang Cui smiled, "It's almost done, Ah Fu, go and get a big plate."

"Hey."

When Tong Zhaofu brought the plate over, Fang Cuiwei and the others had already rolled up their sleeves and kneaded the glutinous rice balls.

He put the plate on the table, immediately rolled up his sleeves, and imitated Fang Cuiwei's way of rubbing.

"Knead glutinous rice balls? I'll come too."

Tong Zhixin brought in the firewood from outside and joined them.

The glutinous rice balls that were kneaded were big or small, fat or flat, but Fang Cuiwei didn't show any disgust at all, she put them all on a plate and poured them into the boiling water.

After a while, the smell of glutinous rice balls came out of the kitchen.

Fang Cuiwei took five large bowls and put them in a spoon, and served them out on a tray.

After eating and drinking, the whole family gathered together to talk.

Now, the most important thing in their family is Tong Zhi'er's marriage.

There is no rush to get married, but the engagement must be done quickly.

"Zhi'er, when your father and I were visiting relatives a few days ago, we chatted with your sister Hua'er. Your sister Hua'er said that the youngest son of their village king's family has achieved great fame and is already a young scholar. Besides, his family is well off, he is the only son in the family, Wang Juren and his wife are pretty good people, what do you think?"

"Father and mother can take care of it."

"Well, if you don't object, I'll ask your father to inquire about it."

"it is good."

However, Tong Zhixin's family did not have time to inquire about Wang Ju's youngest son.

Because after the Lantern Festival, Mrs. Ji Guogong from the capital came to their house to propose marriage to Tong Zhi'er.

"It's really presumptuous of me to come here uninvited."

The lady smiled apologetically at Tong Zhixin and Fang Cui.

Her kind attitude made Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei have a good impression of her, so they enthusiastically invited her in.

"My lady came, I don't know why?"

"It's like this, is your daughter Zhi'er engaged? If not, I want her to be my daughter-in-law."

Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei glanced at each other.

Tong Zhixin asked, "I wonder if Madam's son is..."

"I'm also confused. I haven't told you about my son. My son's surname is Ji Mingli, and his name is Guzi. He is a general in the dynasty and is now the heir of the Duke's Mansion."
