I'm a humble concubine. My acting skills are off the charts. You can check my performance.

Zhao Fangjin still had to go back to the Li family. Zhao Fangjin was born and raised in Shangjing and rarely met his maternal grandparents.

After getting married, the chances to see him are even fewer. If I go back once before getting married, I don’t know when I will be able to see him again.

Within two days of Zhao Fangjin's marriage being arranged, Zhao Minshan picked a husband for Zhao Fangwei.

The son of Yang Jian, the prefect of Nanshan County, took advantage of the fact that the eldest lady had not yet returned to Longxi, and the two families hurriedly exchanged gifts.

Fortunately, the other party was serious enough to send Yang Jian's brother and sister-in-law to make the deal.

After making the decision, the eldest lady took her three sisters on board the boat back to Longxi, and Mei Xunyin came out to support the situation.

Traveling light, Zhao Fangyu only brought the most familiar fragrant herbs and spring peonies, while Su Re and Die Cui stayed in Jiao Lu.

Zhao Fangyu was weak and a little seasick. He slept soundly the whole way and felt like vomiting all the time.

I can't eat well, and I can't sleep well.

Zhao Fangjin and Zhao Fangmo both followed the eldest lady and walked on the boat as if it were flat ground, without any abnormality. Zhao Fangyu looked at the backs of Zhao Fangjin and Zhao Fangmo with envy, asked Xiangyao to light a new stove of calming incense, and fell into a deep sleep.

The road to Li's house in Longxi is extremely long. After traveling by water, one has to take the land route. It took half a month to finally reach Longxi.

When the people of the Li family in Longxi heard that their daughter who had been married for many years had come back to visit her family, they sent people to wait outside the city gate every day.

The person who came to greet them was the old lady's mother, who almost grew up with the eldest lady in her arms.

When the two met, they both had tears in their eyes.

Zhao Fangjin and Zhao Fangyu sat on one side while the eldest lady talked to the frail old mother.

"I haven't seen Mama Qian for many years. She looks much older."

Mother Qian's wrinkled face showed clear heartache. She would pinch the eldest lady's wrist and arm from time to time. Then she looked at the young lady who was once called the Pearl of Longxi and now has grown into the eldest lady. The feeling of time passing by came over her again.

Zhao Fangyu and Zhao Fangjin served tea to Mama Qian and the eldest lady. The eldest lady immediately introduced the girls one by one. Mama Qian's eyes focused on Zhao Fangjin and Zhao Fangmo, and finally stopped at Zhao Fangyu's face.

Mother Qian's gaze on Zhao Fangyu's face was particularly long, and even the young Zhao Fangmo felt something was wrong and asked, "Mammy, why do you always stare at Fourth Sister?"

Mother Qian laughed loudly and looked at Zhao Fangyu with a meaningful look: "Of course, I have never seen such a meticulous person as the Fourth Lady in Longxi."

"The girls in Longxi are all raised in a rougher way. They are not like those in the rich places like the capital, which can raise girls with such precious looks."

The people of Longxi like to eat meat, drink wine, race horses and shoot arrows. The wind and sand are strong here, and it is close to Jiayu Pass. Even the girls from the noble family like the Li family can all ride horses.

For a moment, Mother Qian couldn't help asking, "Have the girls ever learned to ride a horse?"

The three little girls shook their heads.

Mother Qian was shocked and immediately held the eldest lady's hand and said, "My dear aunt, is it possible that you have never ridden a horse again after you married and moved to the capital?"

Tears finally fell from the eldest lady's eyes, but her face was still full of smiles.

"The horse farm in the capital is very small, and it's hard to run comfortably."

Mother Qian couldn't help crying. It wasn't just that they couldn't run happily. It was clearly because of their status that made it difficult for them to run. Otherwise, how could none of the three girls learn?

The carriage swayed and finally arrived at Li's house.

The Longxi Li family is the most noble, with a thousand-year-old family heritage. Even the tiles on the floor of their home are particular.

The three little girls followed side by side behind the eldest lady. Mother Qian held the youngest, Zhao Fangmo, in her arms. She felt sorry for her because her face was dry and red after just half a day of being blown by the cool breeze from Longxi.

Zhao Fangyu and Zhao Fangjin were no less impressive.

The group hurried into the old house of the Li family. Countless villagers came to see them along the way. When they saw three young ladies in gorgeous clothes covered with snow getting off the carriage, they couldn't help but sigh for a moment, saying that they were worthy of being the children of the former Pearl of Longxi.

The layout of the Li family's house is very exquisite. There are not many decorations. At first glance, it looks like an ordinary corridor. But when you look closely, you can see that it is made of extremely precious sandalwood. The entire corridor is made of sandalwood!

The overall shape is like a many-fold more complicated version of a courtyard house, with a corridor in the middle and an outer wall at the end, enclosing the whole house, which is considered a family.

From Zhao Fangyu's modern perspective, this house has a bit of the flavor of the Forbidden City.

Before she could continue to sigh, she met many people one after another. Most of the women here wore narrow sleeves, and almost all the men wore arrow-sleeved Hu clothing. They wished they could write a few big words "clean and neat" on their faces.

Finally, they were led to a large courtyard with the name Pingkangyuan written on it. From the name, they knew it was the residence of the elders. The three sisters looked at each other, cheered up, and straightened their backs quietly. They must not embarrass their mother in front of their grandparents' home.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the eldest lady entered the room, she burst into laughter, and then several unfamiliar voices were heard saying:

"I said that even if my sister has been in the capital for many years, her appearance will definitely not change!"

"That's right, big brother, you are totally unnecessary. Who among us who went out of Longxi can really be shy?"

"I...I'm just worried that my sister won't get used to it!"

"Bah, you're just pretending to be elegant!"

Next came the two elderly men who couldn't help but shed tears when they saw the eldest lady.

The old lady held the eldest lady in her arms, stroking her cheeks again and again, looking at the extra wrinkles on them, tears couldn't stop falling.

"Okay, okay. I've been away for nearly twenty years. I'm finally home."

The old man next to him didn't say anything, but just stroked his beard again and again with red eyes. After looking at his daughter, he called his three granddaughters to his front. On his left hand was Zhao Fangjin, on his right hand was Zhao Fangmo, and the remaining Zhao Fangyu stretched out her hand and rubbed her head as a gesture of appreciation.

Zhao Fangjin looks the most like the eldest lady, and the uncles like her the most. The remaining Zhao Fangmo is chubby and round, just at the right age, and attracts countless attentions from the female relatives. Who doesn't want such a cute girl? Some people also went to see Zhao Fangyu, as they all knew that this was the concubine's daughter adopted by the sister-in-law in the capital. She had a kind look in her eyes, but she was not as friendly as Zhao Fangjin and Zhao Fangmo.

Zhao Fangyu was not discouraged. After all, they were not blood relatives and there was a layer of distance between them.

But she was the most beautiful, and the younger generation of the Li family all had their eyes on her. She did not dare to relax, and stood up straight to face the countless inquiring gazes.

After everyone had admired them enough, the eldest lady was reluctant to leave her mother's arms, but she still stood up and pushed the three little girls in front of the two old people, pointing at the three people and saying:

"This is Fang Jin, her nickname is Jin'er, she is fifteen years old, and she has been engaged in the capital, and the wedding date is set for September this year."

"This is Fangyu, my fourth daughter, who just turned eleven this year."

"This is Fang Mo, my little Qi. She is the youngest and she is already five years old."

The uncles looked at each other and felt that their sister's children all had a Beijing accent.

The first hour after arriving at the Li family, Zhao Fangyu discovered a huge benefit:

That’s because Longxi is located in a remote area close to Jiayuguan, and there are countless treasures. A fist-sized ruby was given to each of the three little girls. This was just the gift from the eldest uncle alone!
