What Zhan Shuilai didn’t say was that the most valuable thing about the ruined temple is friendship.

Everyone in the ruined temple was saved because of Xie Ziliang's innocent heart. Because of the warmth of this innocent heart, their dead hearts were warmed little by little, which made them slowly give up their will to die.

Living makes everything possible.

The people in the Liu Mansion were like a spark buried deep in the ashes of the stove. They only needed a piece of dry firewood to start a raging fire.

However, the Liu Mansion is not very conspicuous in the capital city where nobles are everywhere.

What Madam Liu wanted was something like this, inconspicuous.

Only in this way can they slowly plan and leave the capital safely.

Therefore, the more valuable the Su family is, the better.

Nanny Liu put almost all her energy into teaching Zhao Chunhua and the servants of the Su family.

Zhao Chunhua, the direct beneficiary, naturally transformed rapidly.

However, Zhao Chunhua is now more restrained.

After all, she has no husband to support her.

The only things Zhao Chunhua can rely on are the information network in her hands and her daughter Su Xiaofei.

However, Su Xiaofei, the wife of the Marquis of Zhenguo, has not yet been given a title.

The Marquis of Zhenguo never asked for a title for Su Xiaofei from beginning to end.

If it was before, the Su family would definitely not understand.

However, Zhao Chunhua is now being taught personally by Matron Liu, the head aunt of the Empress Dowager, so how could she not understand the twists and turns involved?

The Marquis of Zhenguo never valued Su Xiaofei from the beginning to the end.

So, why did the Marquis of Zhenguo insist on marrying Su Xiaofei?

This matter has been weighing on Zhao Chunhua's mind. She will not have peace of mind until it is thoroughly investigated.

However, Zhao Chunhua could only keep this matter deep in her heart and dared not reveal it even to Nanny Liu.

The Su family was too insignificant to withstand the power of the Zhenguo Marquisate. If they turned against each other, the Su family would be in danger of being wiped out.

Only after seeing off everyone from the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion did Zhao Chunhua breathe a sigh of relief.

That's good.

No matter what the reason is, as long as everyone in the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion can be safely sent out of the Su family, the Su family’s first banquet in the capital can be considered a true success.

From today on, the impression that the Su family gave to the nobles in Kyoto was finally different, and no one would look down on the Su family anymore.

It’s a pity that I’m not afraid of god-like opponents, but I’m afraid of pig-like teammates.

Still three pigs!

Banquets among the noble circle are always a place of give and take.

In addition to banquets such as housewarming parties and wedding banquets attended by the whole family, there are also flower-viewing banquets held specifically for female family members, or poetry gatherings held specifically for students.

Of course, there are also small parties among the little girls in the boudoir.

There are also old friends who invite each other to go outing, appreciate lotus, appreciate the moon, appreciate the snow, appreciate plum blossoms...

There are countless banquets for young men and women to meet if they want.

Su Yueli and Su Yuening were tricked when they were taken by Su Qingzhu to go horseback riding at the horse farm outside the city with their colleagues.

Or the three of them, father and son, together.

This stupidity is really speechless.

Su Qingzhu accepted the invitation from her second uncle Wei Tianya, the general of the Zhuguo Mansion.

Of course, Wei Tianya not only brought Wei Ziyue and Wei Ziteng, but also Wei Ziyan.

The purpose is of course self-evident.

Coincidentally, after arriving at the horse farm, they met the prince and his wife, who were riding horses with their brothers and sisters.

The two sides naturally joined together.

Afterwards, many noble families came one after another.

The Marquis of Chang'an's Mansion includes Marquis of Chang'an Yu Weihai, Marquis of Chang'an's wife Huo Xiangqin, Marquis of Chang'an's eldest son Yu Shengli, the eldest daughter Yu Shuqin, the second eldest daughter Yu Shuang'er, and the concubines Yu Yueyue, Yu Tingya and Yu Shanshan.

The eldest daughter, Yu Shuqin, is not Yu Weihai's biological daughter.

She is the only darling of Yu Weihai's sworn brother Shi Dashuang.

Speaking of which, Shi Dashuang was truly a good man of great righteousness. He risked his life to save Yu Weihai on the battlefield, leaving behind his beloved wife and daughter.

Mrs. Shi was also a fierce person. When she heard that her husband had died in battle, she immediately killed herself with a three-foot white silk and followed her husband, leaving behind her one-year-old daughter who was crying for food.

Yu Weihai naturally would not leave the orphan of his savior and good brother unattended, so he took the child back to Chang'an Marquis Mansion, registered the child under the name of his wife, and gave the child to his wife to raise.

For a time, everyone was praising Yu Weihai for his gratitude.

After all, Chang'an Marquis' wife Huo Xiangqin was from a military family, so she naturally understood the importance of military morale. Even though she was unwilling to see Yu Shuqin snatch her daughter's position as the eldest daughter, she did not do anything.

It's nothing more than a matter of giving away a dowry.

If we plan it carefully, we might be able to gain some benefits for the Chang'an Marquisate, and it would not be in vain to raise Yu Shuqin.

The Su family is naturally a good target.

With the protection of the daughter of her savior, Yu Shuqin grew up smoothly.

Huo Xiangqin did not tease Yu Shuqin, so naturally there would not be too much warmth.

No matter how generous Huo Xiangqin was, she would not deliberately improve the status and prestige of Yu Shuqin, an outsider who occupied the position of her daughter's eldest daughter.

Her daughter had already suffered a great injustice, so Huo Xiangqin naturally had to seek benefits for her daughter in other ways. No matter what, Huo Xiangqin would never allow Yu Shuqin to steal the limelight and reputation of her own daughter.

Fortunately, Yu Shuqin was smart. She didn't fight or compete in Chang'an Marquis's Mansion, and her talents were mediocre. Naturally, she grew up steadily, without a particularly good reputation, nor a bad reputation.

The main point is moderation!

All in all, everyone was satisfied.

The Minister of Rites You Jiaming, his wife Song Qianqian, the eldest daughter of the Minister of Rites You Rongyu, the eldest son You Qinjing, the second son You Qinhan, the third son You Qinyan, the second daughter You Peipei and the youngest daughter You Weiwei, all appeared at the horse farm.

Are you kidding? With such a good opportunity, You Jiaming and Song Qianqian would naturally find a way to marry You Rongyu into the Su family.

Rongyu, redundant!

Just by hearing the name, you can tell how unpopular You Rongyu is.

Ugh!

A child without a mother is indeed a weed.

Li Xuanpi, the left vice minister of the Ministry of Justice, and his second wife Cha Minghe, came with their eldest son Li Qinghan, second son Li Qingyu, eldest daughter Li Qingyue, and second daughter Li Qingyan.

Li Qinghan and Li Qingyue are twins, a boy and a girl, born to Cha Mingxi, the first wife of the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

Cha Minghe is Cha Mingxi's biological sister.

When Cha Mingxi married Li Xuanpi, Li Xuanpi was a top student among poor students and had just ranked second in the high school entrance examination.

The Cha family was one of the imperial merchants, and even as an imperial merchant they had to endure the oppression of the nobles from time to time in the capital. Every year, the money given to officials as tribute accounted for almost half of the Cha family's profits.

Father Cha had long wanted to train his own officials.

Unfortunately, although Cha's father is good at business, his vision for investing in poor students is not that good.

Over the past few decades, the Cha family has supported countless poor students.

Unfortunately, those who had a conscience and were willing to repay the Cha family were all upright people. Since their official careers were not smooth, they were all exiled to remote places to serve as county magistrates of the seventh rank.

Those who thrived in the court were all ruthless and cowardly people. Not only did they not give back to the Cha family, but they demanded even more.

There was no other choice, so the Cha family took a gamble and tried to find a son-in-law from the list.

Forget about the top scholar, because that’s the one the princess has chosen.

Li Xuanpi, the third place winner in the imperial examination, was captured by the Cha family and taken home.

Fortunately, Mr. Cha made the right bet this time. Li Xuanpi and Cha Mingxi were a pair of talented men and beautiful women, and anyone who saw them would know that they were a perfect match. They were considered the most harmonious couple among those who were selected as sons-in-law that year.

It’s a pity that beauty has a tragic fate.

One year after getting married, Cha Mingxi died of hemorrhage while giving birth to twins, a boy and a girl.

Li Xuanpi's mother died young, and Zha Mingxi died of hemorrhage, leaving the Li family without a mistress. Looking at the twins, Li Xuanpi and his father, who had studied for his entire life but was still only a scholar, were so worried that their hair turned white.

How can two grown men take care of a child?

Fortunately, the Cha family took Li Qinghan and Li Qingyue back to the Cha family and gave them to Madam Cha to raise. This was also a way to give Madam Cha something to do and distract her from the pain of losing her daughter.

However, Mrs. Cha was old after all, and was heartbroken by the loss of her loved one. She was completely exhausted and had to rely on her youngest daughter, Cha Minghe, to help her.

Every month during his day off, Li Xuanpi would go to the Cha residence to visit his twin children, a boy and a girl.

As Li Qinghan and Li Qingyue grew up, Li Xuanpi and Cha Minghe gradually developed feelings for each other.

When Li Qinghan and Li Qingyue were five years old, Li Xuanpi brought the twins back to the Li Mansion.

After all, Li Qinghan is about to start to learn.

The following year, Li Xuanpi proposed to Cha Minghe, who had taken care of Li Qinghan and Li Qingyue for five years.

It was a famous story in Kyoto at that time.

It should be said that up to this point, Cha Minghe truly treated the siblings Li Qinghan and Li Qingyue as his own children and raised them with sincerity.

Unfortunately, human hearts cannot withstand the erosion of time.

In the second year after Cha Minghe married Li Xuanpi, she gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl - Li Qingyu and Li Qingyan.

This time, having learned from previous experience, Li Xuanpi and the Cha family were well prepared.

There were five midwives alone.

Centennial ginseng?

not enough.

Back then, the hundred-year-old ginseng failed to save Cha Mingxi's life.

When Cha Mingxi found out that she was pregnant with twins, the Cha family searched everywhere for thousand-year-old ginseng.

At the beginning, he only collected 200-year-old ginseng, then 500-year-old ginseng, and finally he spent 100,000 taels of gold to purchase a 1,000-year-old ginseng.

This barely saved Cha Minghe's life.

But, her body was damaged and she can no longer have children.

Li Xuanpi already had two legitimate sons and two legitimate daughters, which was enough, he comforted Cha Minghe with care.

It is said that when a woman gives birth, it is like putting one foot into a coffin. Li Xuanpi feels this deeply. To be honest, the experiences of his two wives really frightened Li Xuanpi.

After that, Li Xuanpi loved his little wife even more.
