Chapter 468 Cheer for the Brothers
Gu Caiwei was also very happy to see that Mengyu was shouting along with her. Her aunt said that Mengyu was very timid.
At home, she would cry easily, but since Mengyu got together with her, her aunt said she has never cried again.
Thinking about it, I felt a great sense of accomplishment: "Go, brothers!"
"Go, brothers!"
"Brothers, the gold ingots are just ahead—"
"come on--"
……
Urged on by Gu Rongrong, An Ying pedaled faster.
After An Ying caught up with Liu Sumei, Gu Rongrong and Yang Wenwen also cheered her on.
Hearing their shouts, the boys started to slow down.
Hearing the children so happy, Liu Sumei and An Ying were also infected by the atmosphere.
They rode together on a tricycle, turned a corner, and only stopped shouting when the boys were out of sight. But they were amazed by the scenery along the way.
The tricycle made several turns to the left and right, and the road was lined with fruit trees, mostly apple trees.
Now, with fruitful results, they turned another corner and stopped. Liu Sumei was a little out of breath: "Master, we've arrived."
Dongfang Jin helped Chu Mengyu to her feet and said to Liu Sumei, "Thank you for your hard work."
She really underestimated her. You should know that this whole road was uphill, even though there were a few bends.
However, without some strength, it's really difficult to ride up.
"Wow, this place is so beautiful!" Chu Mengyu was helped off the car by Liu Sumei.
Looking at the scenery before me, even standing here, I can see the view down the mountain.
"Miss, get up early tomorrow morning to see the scenery here; it will be even more beautiful."
"The valley below and behind the mountain is shrouded in mist, like a fairyland," Liu Sumei said as she helped Gu Caiwei out of the car.
Gu Caiwei was also surprised by the beautiful scenery in front of her: "This is my first time here. Last time I went to the hot spring area across the street."
She pointed to the mountain opposite and showed it to Chu Mengyu: "The small houses on that mountain in the middle are all hot spring pools. I'll take you there to soak in the hot springs later."
Liu Sumei looked at the small houses built on the mountainside, which were arranged in a neat and orderly manner and decorated very nicely inside.
Each cabin has a hot spring pool, and the most basic cabin costs eighty taels of silver per day.
The most distinctive feature is the "Five Elements Spring," which costs 1,200 taels of silver per pool per day.
It contains food, drinks, and three sets of clothes.
I heard that even at such an exorbitant price, those wealthy people are lining up to soak in it.
The mountains nearby all belong to Huangzhuang, and there's a pack of stray dogs watching over there.
The vineyards of Huangzhuang are over there; I heard that the hillside is covered with grapevines.
"Miss, Phoenix Pavilion also has a hot spring pool. You ladies can go for a soak tonight."
Gu Caiwei smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Aunt Mei."
Yang Wenwen stared at the "Five Elements Courtyard" in the distance for a while, then walked to Dongfang Jin's side: "Aunt Jin, can my brother come?"
She also wanted her brother to soak in the hot springs, because he was too thin.
Dongfang Jin got out of the car and looked at the two-story villa with its rustic charm.
He lowered his head and pinched her little face, saying seriously, "Wenwen, this is your home too. As long as it doesn't go against your conscience, you can bring whoever you want."
This child was raised by his sister-in-law and mother in the manner of a matriarch.
Her family all treated her as Gu Jingye's wife, although she felt that they should wait until the children were older before making a decision.
However, her sister-in-law and mother seemed to approve of Gu Jingye's behavior, and this girl seemed to enjoy it as well, even studying it more diligently than anyone else.
"Thank you, Aunt Jin."
"No need to thank me. You and your brother are both Aunt Jin's children. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, we'll bring your brother over to live with us."
Upon hearing this, Yang Wenwen threw herself into her arms, choking back tears as she whispered, "Thank you, thank you... Mom."
When Dongfang Jin heard her call her "Mother," she felt extremely sad, and her prejudice against her biological father decreased by one level.
Such a wonderful pair of children, so sensible it breaks your heart, yet their father pretends to be deaf and dumb, blind in both eyes and heart.
If he doesn't like it, then her family will keep it.
Thinking about it, I looked up and saw the setting sun casting its golden-red glow onto the villa beside me.
The dark gray roof tiles were stained with scattered gold, and the copper bells on the eaves swayed in the mountain breeze, casting shimmering light and shadow.
The carved wooden door was half-open, revealing a path paved with blue bricks inside the courtyard.
Several century-old pomegranate trees stand in the courtyard, their branches still bearing the last red blossoms, giving them a warm, bountiful feel compared to when they first bloomed.
Behind the villa are dark green mountains, the setting sun adding a golden edge to the ridge, like a crumpled gilded scroll.
Standing in front of the vermilion gate of Fengwu Residence, one can see the rows of green-tiled eaves of Mingyue Villa, with the golden sunset painting the buildings in an amber hue.
With a slight smile on his lips, he said to Liu Sumei, who was standing next to him, "Aunt Mei, there's no need to bring dinner tonight. These kids are clamoring for barbecue."
Liu Sumei glanced at Yang Wenwen and replied gently, "Okay."
This must be the master's chosen "daughter-in-law," I met her last time when she went to Prince Dun's mansion to deliver account books to the young princess.
She had also heard about the child's experience from Aunt Jun, who had encountered a foolish father at such a young age.
I also heard that this girl was personally chosen as the "wife" by the young master, and that her brother even picked out the marriage for her.
It is said that children from poor families mature early, but who would have thought that the prefect's children would also suffer so much?
It just goes to show what my master meant when he said that being born into the right family is a skill.
Just then, Jiang Qiao arrived on his tricycle and parked it, saying, "You can't deny getting old."
“Uncle Jiang is not old at all, he is in his prime,” Dongfang Jin said with a smile.
Sister Jin, this old man might be looking at Liu Sumei.
"Look at him, his eyes are glued to her." Ruyi's words reached Dongfang Jin's ears.
After hearing this, Dongfang Jin glanced at Uncle Jiang without leaving a trace, and sure enough, it was true.
Judging from their appearance, it seems the man is interested, but the woman is not.
It seems I should tell my father about this. I'll have Lan, the old woman who serves my mother, come and find out what's going on.
This Uncle Jiang is still unmarried, but I heard that he was injured when he was a child and was abandoned in a bridge hole by his family.
It was brought back by Eunuch Jiang, who was serving the King, when he was out on business. After a physical examination at the clinic, he was found to have been taken back.
The doctor said there was nothing seriously wrong, and then he stayed by his side and was even adopted as his godson.
Later, his illness was cured by Grandpa Chu, and he stayed with his father until he heard that Eunuch Jiang had passed away.
The king then kept him by his elder brother's side to serve him.
Afterwards, he followed his father's family to the capital, but was assassinated on the way and was seriously injured.
Because of his injuries, he couldn't stay by his elder brother's side, so his father arranged for him to work as a steward on the estate.
Since her mother gave the estate to her, everyone in it, including Uncle Jiang, has come under her name.
His father and elder brother had specifically instructed him that if she could cure him, then she should.
It depends on the two of them, but I think Liu Sumei probably won't get married.
Having been betrayed by her husband, abandoned by her in-laws, and suffering the pain of losing her child, she fears she won't trust men for a while.
Most importantly, the idea that "women should be independent" that I and Jun Qixian instilled in them has brought them positive results.
This also proves that women can live without men.
Therefore, accepting another marriage is not an easy thing.
Ruyi said meaningfully, "It's hard to say, after all, this isn't the future."
No matter how much you instill in them the idea that women should be independent, their inherent nature will not change.
In their hearts, their greatest reliance still lies with men; only with children can they have someone to care for them in their old age, to see them off in their final days, and to continue their family line.
To be honest, Dongfang Jin was almost brainwashed by Ruyi. He glanced at Liu Sumei and said, "[Let's see how their fate unfolds. By the way, what's the situation around us?]"
She couldn't continue this topic any longer; she was certain that if it continued, the matter would eventually come back to haunt her.
No, it's just the women who come to the village gossiping about each other's rivalry and jealousy.
These people gradually returned to their residences, saying they were preparing to attend the palace banquet.
