Chapter 896: Your Grandson, Leave One for Me!

gs never travel far, but bad things have wings and can fly as far as they want.But within a day, almost everyone in the entire new capital city knew about this.Many people talking about a thing, passi...Now it was Old Madam Tang's turn to be surprised, "I'd heard that the County Princess was intelligent, a first-rate good girl from Tianwu. I never expected her to have such skills."

You have to know these fruits are very fussy, they can't survive outside this soil and water.

"Every year when presenting fruit to the palace, the magistrate doesn't know how many hairs he pulls out in worry."

Li Lao Tai was naturally delighted when she heard her praise for her granddaughter, "When we came over, we also brought some white jade melons from the southwest.

"

"Tomorrow I'll have some sent over, the older sister can try some fresh ones too."

"Well then, I've been stuck in Quanzhou my whole life. I haven't even been to Xindu, let alone the southwest border city. Now that I can eat fruits and vegetables from the southwest, it counts as fulfilling one wish."

Mrs. Tang didn't hesitate or refuse at all, she readily agreed, which made her even closer to Mrs. Li.

From different regions with diverse customs and traditions, they spoke about their worries and affections for their grandchildren. Finally, Tang Lao Fu asked, "Elder sister, how long will you be staying this time"

"We have a big boat in our family. If we don't rush back, I will often visit you at sea in the future."

"Don't be afraid of those pirates on the sea. Although I'm old, I can still kill ten or eight pirates with my spear!"

Mrs. Tang was both amused and exasperated. She quickly stopped her mother-in-law, "Mother, you're getting up there in years, it's not good to be swinging swords and spears around, you might pull a muscle."

"Besides, there's the Hai Lan Army. Why does it need you to do it yourself"

Mrs. Tang let out a dry cough and said to Li, the elderly maid, in a dejected voice: “My daughter-in-law is good in every way, but she's even more talkative than me, treating me like I’m a child under her care.”

In a room this small, even her softest whispers were audible to everyone.

Then, everyone burst into laughter.

With such a mother-in-law, Dr. Tang's life is certainly interesting!

Li Laotai chimed in with a smile, “Me too! At home, I'm under strict supervision by my granddaughter.”

"Sometimes it's afraid of the wind, sometimes it's afraid of slippery roads from snow. It won't even take an extra step! "

"My whole life, I've been in charge. I don't want to be old and still not free!"

Mrs. Tang burst into laughter, her face beaming with delight as if she had found a kindred spirit.

After some casual chatter, Li Laotai said, “I came here dragging this old body of mine, actually for a reason.

"I suppose the old lady has also heard, my son Jia Yi saved a young girl at sea and told me about it when he returned. I wanted to see this girl for myself."

If two children are destined to be together, then let them be a couple.

"If two children are not destined to be together, I will help the girl out, support her, and find her someone to lean on."

This surprised both Mrs. Tang and Dr. Tang.

Of course, they had heard of Jia Yi's heroic rescue.

After all, Quanzhou City isn't large, and most of the Tang family are away serving in the army. Even if others didn't know about this, the Tang family themselves were well aware of it.

They occasionally chatted, all thinking that Jia Yi at most would take Coral as his concubine, and giving her a name would be good enough.

To their surprise, the Li family was actually planning to marry Coral as their granddaughter-in-law!

When the Tang family arranged marriages for their children, they didn't really care much about social standing. But no matter what, they wanted a girl who had both parents and a reliable family to rely on.

The Li family's actions are truly unexpected!

After some thought, Madam Tang said, “Older sister, I have heard before that your Li family acts with benevolence and righteousness. But today, hearing it with my own ears, I am truly convinced.”

But elder sister, a child's lifelong marriage is a serious matter and cannot be taken lightly. Moreover, Jia Yi has gradually gained prestige in the military, with brilliant war achievements. In the future, he is afraid that he will have to stay in Quanzhou permanently

"Aren't you looking for a suitable wife for Jiayi, and someone who can also help him out at home"

As for Coral Girl, if Jia Yi is willing, she can be a second wife. With her taking care of things, it would be quite good.

This can be said to be a veiled message, after all, it's only the first time we've met. How could I possibly meddle in other people's children's affairs

Tang Dafu's wife was about to speak up and explain the situation for her mother-in-law, afraid that the Li family would be unhappy.

Though unwilling, Li Lao Tai was secretly pleased that Tang Lao Fu treated her as one of their own.

She held Mrs. Tang's hand and smiled, "Elder sister, I know you mean well, and generally, people would indeed act this way.

But our Li family is different. We have a rule at home: men are not allowed to take concubines, they only marry one wife.

"Before, Jia Yi and this Coral girl helped each other out. Many people saw it. If our family doesn't show some attitude, this girl will probably have a hard time in the future.

"

"After all, marriage is a lifelong commitment. As his grandmother, I can't bear to see him end up with someone who will make him unhappy."

"That's why I traveled such a long distance, intending to come and see the young lady myself. Then I can think about how to handle things."

Old Madam Tang clapped her hands excitedly and said, "Oh, elder sister, you are so kind! Any daughter who marries into your family is truly blessed!"

"How many unmarried sons do you still have Be sure to save one for me!"

“I have a particularly beloved granddaughter, fourteen years old this year. She excels in everything: music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Moreover, she is as beautiful as a flower. I must send her to your home to enjoy the good life!”

Everyone burst into laughter, but Tang's Madam was so anxious that she clutched her handkerchief.

It's not that the Li family is bad, it's just that this is a matter concerning their daughter. How could the mother-in-law so easily agree to it

Fortunately, Li Lao Tai said: "Don't worry, my dear. My son hasn't been engaged yet."

"It's fate that the kids will be able to play together more in the future. They’ll hit it off without us even having to say anything."

"That's right!" Grandmother Tang laughed contentedly, "My granddaughter is the best! Everyone who meets her likes her!"

Madam Tang, however, could no longer bear to listen. She hurried to order Luo to set up a banquet.

Soon everyone was seated, eating their lunch and chatting, which made the atmosphere even warmer and more lively.

After dinner, they strolled through the garden again. When the sun began to set, Li Lao Tai finally proposed to take leave.

Mrs. Tang personally sent Ms. Li and the others to the door, repeatedly reminding them to visit often.

Li Laotai naturally readily agreed and happily went home.

Although the Hailan Army belonged to Emperor Tianwu, it is now in the hands of the Tang family.

The Li family wanted to go to the wounded soldier camp to see Coral, and it was also a matter of respect to say hello to the Tang family beforehand.

I didn't expect the Tang family to be so easy to get along with, it was a pleasant surprise...

The Tang family was undoubtedly the star in Quanzhou City. During this Lunar New Year period, countless people wanted to visit the Tang family.

The Tang family specially squeezed out a day to entertain the Li family, naturally attracting the attention and curiosity of others.

Especially Madam Tang's enthusiasm is truly rare.

It is important to know that Mrs. Tang's temper was as well-known as the Tang family itself.

When he was young, someone sent a beautiful woman to the general. Tang Lao Fu chased him for two miles with a long knife.

Although she is older now, her temper is still fiery.

If she doesn't like someone, no matter how high their status or position is, she won't see them.

But if you upset her, she'd be so eager to make up for it, showering you with kindness.

Obviously, the Li family belonged to the latter.

Li Zhensheng had been running his business in Quanzhou for several years, and many people knew about the Li family's wealth. However, it was impossible that Lady Tang was being so enthusiastic simply because the Li family held two prestigious titles.

What exactly about the Li family impressed Old Madam Tang

Grandmother Li traveled thousands of miles, what was she here for againhe night pearl and sat between her father and stepfather. She nibbled on some meat floss here and shared a bite of egg yolk there, busy as can be.Actually, she wasn't hungry at all, but it tasted esp...
