Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

Since both families were interested, things went smoothly. They agreed to set the wedding date three days later, an auspicious date. Guoguo asked Yeheng to go to the hotel to buy meat, vegetables, and good wine.

Guoguo found six pieces of Xiangyun silk and a box of pearls, all of which were round and plump, as a dowry for the bride.

The gate of the Chai family was freshly cleaned and red lanterns were hung high.

That day, the Emperor heard about the wedding and came to enjoy the feast. With that, several of the palace's masters left the palace in plain clothes. When the court officials heard about it, they all sent invitations, but Ye Heng refused them all, insisting they wait until the children's weddings were over.

When there were many gifts, Guoguo would just say, "Accept it. It would be a waste not to accept it. Collect it and give it to the Ministry of Revenue as military pay!" Later, the emperor heard about it and praised Guoguo for doing a good job.

The meat dishes Ye Heng brought back to the main hall were re-plated in the kitchen. Maids brought them one by one to the main hall. Lord Yan, too, donned a purple robe today. The family, beaming with joy, arrived at the Chai residence. Ye Heng greeted them with a chuckle and entered the main hall. He first paid his respects to the Emperor, Empress, Crown Prince, and Crown Princess, one by one. Finally, he sat down. The women sat on one side, the men on the other, with a screen between them.

When the dishes were served, the Emperor spoke, "Master Yan, your family is very happy." Yan Jiye said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for joining us." The Emperor said, "Haha, please sit down. No need to be so polite. Be natural. It's tiring." "Okay, I'll listen to Your Majesty." Ye Heng said, "I wish you a happy marriage." Ye Heng introduced the two families. They sat down to eat. The Emperor couldn't wait to dig in. Chai Zhen, the Emperor, and Yan Jiye took the main seat. Ye Heng accompanied them. He poured wine and made toasts. The Crown Prince was very considerate and took care of the Emperor's drinking and eating.

The Empress took the two children with her, and the women from the Chai family helped to look after them and feed them. Lu Xi still called Old Lady Li "Mother," saying, "Mom, if you have time, please stay at the palace for a few days. I miss you! And please help me look after the children." Old Lady Li said, "Okay, Lu Xi, as always. You're the Empress of a country, and you still respect me so much. What have I done to deserve this?" Guo Guo said, "Grandma, the Empress is a good person. She's already recognized me as her mother. How can she change her? So, let's do this." Haha. Old Lady Li said, "Okay, let's all go to the palace for New Year's Eve and have some fun." The Empress said, "My good daughter is waiting." Guo Guo said, "Eat, everyone, try some meat dishes." The Empress took a bite and said, "Mm, very good." She tasted the old taste she had enjoyed in modern times when she gave birth to her son. "Delicious," she said, unavoidably taking a few more bites. Madam Yan watched as she also took a piece of meat and said, "Delicious, delicious. It tastes indescribably good." No one was shy, and they ate with relish.

The emperor laughed loudly, hahahaha, "It's been a long time since I've eaten such delicious dishes!" Hahaha. "Brother, I just ate it yesterday." "Really? I forgot. I want to eat it again." "Okay, I'll send it to you when I have it." "Okay."

Yan Jiye watched. The two royal brothers had a wonderful relationship! The emperor had changed, no longer depressed and much more cheerful. He was still decisive, but he was much more charitable and rarely killed people.

Yan Jiye found the food so delicious that he ate a lot. Hahaha. "You're stuffed!" The emperor glanced at him and said, "You've never eaten anything delicious!" Yan Jiye said cheerfully, "Who knew the Chai family's food was so delicious? This beef is fragrant, salty, tender, and just right for me." Haha.

When both the king and his subjects are happy, they will naturally feel relaxed.

Yan Jiye: "I am very happy today. I ate too much. Haha."

Tea arrived, and everyone sat on the sofa to drink. There was also fruit. It was all cut into small pieces, and you could eat it with a bamboo skewer. Sweet!

The Empress gave two people gifts. The girl received a jade ruyi, wishing her a life of happiness. She also gave Chai Lu a jade pendant. The Emperor also gave him a sword. Ye Heng had seen it before; it was from the Emperor's private treasury. Chai Lu knelt to express his gratitude. The Emperor chuckled. "Take it." "Thank you, Your Majesty," Chai Lu knelt to express his gratitude.

Later, Guoguo also talked about this matter. Chai Lu was in charge of the transfer and arrangement of officials in the Ministry of Personnel. He would have great power in the future. This was to encourage him to do a good job! He had a heavy responsibility and carried the emperor's expectations!

It wasn't until the afternoon that the crowd dispersed. The Chai Mansion fell silent, and the Chai family members sat in the main hall. Guoguo said, "We'll go back tonight and come back for their wedding." She then said to Jiaxing, "Second Uncle, the betrothal gifts shouldn't be too high. Keep a low profile. Once you've brought the bride home, give whatever you want behind closed doors." "Okay, Second Uncle, I'll remember that." Guoguo then said to her eldest uncle, "Our betrothal gifts shouldn't be too high. As the saying goes, don't show off your wealth!" Jiahe said, "We understand."

Ye Heng: "When you prepare food and drinks, drink the Lihuabai wine made at home. It's a good wine." Chai Ping'an: "Okay, I'm at home." "Well, I'll let Butler Ye help you." Chai Ping'an: "Okay."

Ye Heng: "There's going to be a lot of people at this wedding! We'll be back early. Don't worry, just prepare the betrothal gifts. I'll take care of the food. Everyone go back and rest. We're leaving now." Chai En said goodbye to his parents. Wang Min gave her son another banknote. Chai En smiled, "No, I can make money. Besides, banknotes can't be used there." Wang Min was dumbfounded. Guo Guo: "The money my aunt has isn't silver. Aunt, don't worry. Chai En can make money. He'll travel the world with his painting! He's rich. Hahaha. Remember to take me, Guo Guo, with you." Hahaha. The whole family laughed, lessening the sadness of separation.

Ye Heng took the lead, holding the two children. Chai En, Guo Guo, Chai Zhen, and Old Man Chai all left. Old Lady Li wiped away tears every time. Guo Guo hugged her grandmother's arm and said, "Grandma, we'll have plenty of time together from now on." Old Lady Li suddenly understood! Ahhh, I didn't expect this. Haha, no more tears. Smiling, she sent her family off. In the room, the people in front of her suddenly disappeared! Old Lady Li cried a few more times, then laughed heartily and went back to sleep!

Chai Ping'an was terrified. He sent his wife to bed and went to the backyard to harvest the crops. The crops here had not yet been harvested, so he called a few guards to help him.

The guard looked at him and asked, "Old man, are you ready to harvest now?" Chai Ping'an said, "Harvest it now. We still need to plant. It will be too late if we delay. The solar term is coming." The guard said, "Okay, I'll go get some help. The more people there are, the faster it will be." Chai Ping'an said, "Okay."

The entire mansion was locked up, and everyone who knew about it came. Haha, half of it was finished in one afternoon. The cobs were left to dry in the yard, and whoever had the time could pick the seeds.

The next day, after harvesting the corn, Chai Ping'an brought in a few oxen and worked with several others to plow the fields. While they plowed, the others in the back began to plant wheat. The work was completed in a few days. Every day, Chai Ping'an tended the fields, tending the land, and filling the greenhouse with fruits and vegetables, primarily watermelons and strawberries, which he sold in the winter. The vegetables were consumed by his family. ...

The women were busy preparing betrothal gifts for their children and things for the wedding.
