A farmer's daughter who traveled through time: Marrying a sickly man

Chapter 462: Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west.

"Duke Qing, Madam Xiande, congratulations!"

Colleagues kept coming over to greet Shen Nian and Xia Tian.

The two of them kept smiling and returning the greetings!

Only after all the people who came to congratulate them had left did the two of them breathe a sigh of relief.

It’s been a long time since I received such enthusiastic attention!

"Duke Qing and Madam Xian De, congratulations!" Just after seeing off the others, Wen Jin, Hu Mengyao and Lin Sayu also came over with smiles.

Shen Nian nodded.

Xia Tian walked over and said angrily, "You three should stop joining in the fun."

"Now you are the virtuous lady, with the same status as the Duke. No, you must treat us!"

Hu Mengyao said while hugging Xia Tian’s arm.

Wen Jin and Lin Sayu also nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, no problem." Xia Tian agreed immediately.

After the three of them left, she and Shen Nian left the palace and prepared to go back.

When the two men arrived at the gate of the mansion, firecrackers were heard in front of the gate before they got off the carriage.

The "crackling" sound lasted for a cup of tea before it ended.

"My Lord Duke, Madam Xian De, please come this way." Shen Rui walked forward with a smile and made a gesture of invitation.

At this time, a red carpet has been laid in front of the door.

There was also a circle of people gathered around.

Marquis Wu'an stood in front of the gate, unable to suppress a smile on his usually serious face.

Just now in the palace, he was surrounded and congratulated by many colleagues. He felt that he had never been envied so much as today.

His eldest son was worthy of being the eldest son. He had actually taken the Marquisate to a higher level while he was still alive.

Who in the capital city doesn't envy him for having a good son? And marrying a good daughter-in-law!

With the emperor's reward today, everyone knew his daughter-in-law's ability, and even Prime Minister Xu was very happy.

Xia Tian is his family's goddaughter, so she is no different from a daughter.

"Father! Second uncle, second aunt, third uncle, third aunt..."

The two saw their elders and brothers and sisters gathered in a circle and greeted them one by one.

"Oh! Nian'er and Xia Xia are back, come in quickly!" The third wife, Mrs. Ye, was very attentive, with a smile on her face.

"Yes, go in first. We've prepared wine and food at home, and we must celebrate today."

The second wife also said with a smile.

Neither she nor the third wife went to the palace to pay their respects today. It was Marquis Wu'an who sent someone back to tell them.

The second and third wives were stunned when they heard the news.

When they realized what was happening, they both slapped their thighs excitedly, and the Third Madam quickly notified everyone in the mansion to prepare.

The second wife asked the kitchen to buy food and prepare the banquet.

This happy event must be celebrated first.

They are all one family, and they prosper together!

"Well, let's go into the mansion!" Marquis Wu'an also nodded with a smile.

When we arrived at the mansion, the second lady's banquet had already been set.

This time the banquet was not held in the old lady's yard, but in the hall in the front yard specially set up to receive guests. The whole family, young and old, came.

Except for the old lady who can’t move!

"Today is an important day for our Wu'an Marquis Mansion. Everyone should follow your eldest brother and sister-in-law's example and carry forward our Wu'an Marquis Mansion. We are a family and must unite as one..."

Before eating, Marquis Wu'an began to preach.

The others nodded continuously.

The meal was a joyful one, which was completely different from when I first came to Wu'an Marquis Mansion in the summer!

Xia Tian looked at every smiling face and couldn't help feeling sad in his heart, it's really like things change over time!

The next day, Marquis Wu'an informed the clan members that the ancestral hall would be opened in three days, and this matter must be solemnly reported to the ancestors.

Invitations have also been sent out, and a three-day banquet will be held at the Wu'an Marquis Mansion!

Shen Nian originally wanted to keep a low profile and not make such a big fuss, but Marquis Wu'an and the elders of the clan disagreed, saying that a banquet must be held to celebrate.

Shen Nian even went to the palace specifically for this matter and told the emperor about it.

The emperor also felt that it was necessary to celebrate, and said that if it were not for his status, he would definitely be present.

Shen Nian quickly thanked him and left.

If the emperor came, others would definitely feel uncomfortable.

Xia Tian didn't need to invite Wen Jin and the others to dinner specially. He was going to have a banquet anyway, so he personally went to their homes to deliver the invitations to the three of them.

The three families were a little flattered. They didn't expect that Madam Xian De would come to their house in person to deliver the invitation to them.

However, the in-laws of Hu Mengyao and Lin Sayu were both aware that Madam Xian De gave the gift because she had a good relationship with their daughter-in-law.

Even so, both families are very happy.

As a result, the status of both of them in the mansion was higher.

The last place Xia Tian went to was Prime Minister Xu's house.

"Godfather, godmother, I'm here to see you." Xia Tian took the things and saluted Prime Minister Xu and Madam Xu with a smile.

"Oh, stop being so polite." Mrs. Xu helped Xia Tian up, her mouth wide open with joy. She didn't expect that her goddaughter came to their house before they came to congratulate her.

It seems that the adoption of this goddaughter was not in vain!

Prime Minister Xu's face was also beaming. After a while, Wen Jin came over with her child and her husband.

They sat down again and started chatting for a while.

He didn't come out until he had lunch at Xu's house.

Although I have been back for ten days, I haven't had time to visit Yuejin Pavilion and Linglong Lane in the summer.

I happened to be out today, so I decided to go there immediately.

In Linglong Lane, Uncle Chen was very happy to see that summer had arrived.

They heard yesterday that the lady had been rewarded by the emperor, and they had been looking forward to it. Uncle Chen even wanted to move a stool and sit at the door waiting.

"Old woman, come out quickly, the lady is back!" Uncle Chen shouted into the yard.

After a while, Aunt Chen and others also rushed to the door.

Xia Tian got off the carriage and was shocked to see so many people greeting her.

As soon as she stood firm, Uncle Chen led the others to kneel down, "Congratulations, Madam, on being named Madam of Virtue!"

The unanimous voices made Xia Tian feel a little embarrassed. "Hurry up, I didn't expect you guys to be so well-informed and know it so quickly!"

"Madam, we have been looking forward to your coming every day!" Uncle Chen stood up and replied with a smile.

After so much anticipation, my wife finally came back!

When Xia Tian walked in, the others didn't disperse, but stared at her eagerly.

It seems that everyone hopes she can come back!

"Ningxiang, Ningxue, come and see the reward!" Xia Tian said with a smile, "I'm happy today, so I'll give you ten taels of silver each."

Since she has been given the title of Lady Virtue, she naturally cannot be stingy. These are all her people, so let them share in the joy.

"Thank you, ma'am!" Everyone was very happy when they heard that the reward was ten taels of silver.

Mu Feng took the box of silver off the carriage and gave Ningxiang and Ningxue each a ten-liang silver ingot.

After the others dispersed, Xia Tian took out two purses and gave them to Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen. When they opened them, they found that they contained fifty taels of silver notes, fifty taels for each person, which was an extra gift for them.

Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen knelt down and kowtowed to Xia Tian again!

Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu did not live here. Yuejin Pavilion had already opened four branches in Beijing, and Uncle Gu also bought two other houses, which were closer to the restaurant, so they lived there.

After finding out the details, Xia Tian went to Yuejin Pavilion again.

Similarly, Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu were extremely excited to see her.

Aunt Gu couldn't help but wiped away her tears!
