The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

   Chapter 401 402 Recognition

Li Yu found Mammy Yang and told her the purpose of her visit. Mammy Yang didn't expect that Li Yu didn't even know about this. Thinking that Li Yu had just entered the capital from other places, it was normal to not know the rules of the capital. She thought that others were afraid of the palace. The people who came learned about the affairs in her house, and this Mrs. Li also asked her for help. She was indeed an informal and easy-going person.

  Mother Yang said with a smile: "Madam, the main betrothal gift is the bride price,...

Li Yu was dumbfounded, thinking that it was so complicated. When he and Xiaoxi got engaged, Xiaoxi's betrothal gift was considered the first in the village, and now it is a shortened version compared to those in Kyoto. .

   Li Yu couldn't help sighing: "It's really not easy to get married once. Fortunately, it only happens once in a lifetime. The man is so cumbersome, so what about the woman's dowry?"

"Yeah! Fortunately, it's only once." Mammy Yang listened to Li Yu's words with joy, and pursed her lips and said, "It doesn't matter whether the male or female family is rich or not, the poor and small households, the man's family only gave him a suit of clothes. There are also betrothal gifts. The girl from the wife’s family carries a small bag, which contains two old clothes. There are also those who marry the man. Well, it’s like the officials and big businessmen in Kyoto. The fields, shops, and the money at the bottom of the boxes are all stuffed to the brim, and some people have even prepared the food and clothing that their daughters need for their whole life after they get married. The dowry has been prepared since the age of 1, and the poor family is not satisfied with even half of the dowry."

After listening to Li Yu, he felt that his dowry was also a shortened version, and after listening to Mama Yang's words, he said with a headache: "Mother Yang knows a lot, to tell you the truth, I have no idea that these are the second monks, I'm afraid I don’t know if you offend people if you lose your courtesy, but unfortunately you will be going back to the palace in two days.

Mammy Yang looked at Li Yu's distressed appearance and thought that she didn't know where to go after she left the palace, so she came to Zhou's house to help: "I don't lie to my maid, the maid will leave the palace in two days. Back home, if the madam doesn't dislike the slaves, the slaves will be cheeky to help the madam for some time."

   "Thank you mama." Li Yu said with a smile.

  Li Yu asked Mama Yang some things to pay attention to in the wedding. Mr. Wen took Yang Yang back, and Yang Yang ran to Li Yu and leaned beside him.

  Mr. Wen glanced at Madam Yang, who was sitting in the hall. Madam Yang also stared at Mr. Wen. Suddenly, Mr. Wen pointed at Madam Yang with a surprised expression, "Are you from the Palace of Yang?"

  Mr. Yang also recognized Mr. Wen, stood up and bowed her knees and said, "Hello, Doctor Wen."

  Doctor Wen smiled cheerfully: "People from Yang Gong, we haven't seen each other for more than 20 years. We are all old. You haven't left the palace yet?"

  Mother Yang smiled and said, "Yes, I'm getting old, Doctor Wen, the servant girl will be leaving the palace in two days."

Seeing Yangyang yawning against himself, Li Yu smiled at the two of them: "What a coincidence, it turns out that Mr. and Mammy Yang are old acquaintances, sir, you and Mammy Yang are reminiscing about the old times, and I will take Yang'er to sleep for a while. Sleep."

  Mr. Wen patted Yangyang's head, "Go to sleep, he has long been impatient." Yangmao stepped aside and sent Li Yu and Yangyang to the door.

Li Yu led Yangyang back to the room. After Yangyang climbed into the bed and lay down, he said to Li Yu, "Mother, Shigong took me to see the big play. Those people's faces were painted a lot of colors. They didn't speak well. Yeah, I've been singing for a long time, but it's not as good as your little song."

   Li Yu smiled and watched him wrinkle his nose in disgust, and kissed him on the forehead, "If you don't like it, don't watch it next time."

  Yangyang squinted his eyes and said, "The teacher has no one to accompany him. I promise Brother Qijin to play with the teacher."

   "Mother's Yang'er is a trustworthy and filial baby, sleep! Mother sings a little song for you." Li Yu patted him lightly, humming the little song and waited for him to fall asleep before leaving the room.

  Seeing that Mr. Wen and Mama Yang were still talking in the flower hall, Li Yu went to the kitchen, looked at the dishes, and returned to the main courtyard to see that Li Qing and Zhou Jia had returned.

   Zhou Jia said to Li Yu, "It will be an auspicious day in two days, and the official media will come to propose a marriage. How is the grandma from the palace?"

  Li Yu nodded, "Very good, Yang Mama and her husband are still old acquaintances."

Zhou Jia was relieved after hearing this, and Li Yu told Li Qing and Zhou Jia about Lin Zexu's coming home, and discussed with Li Qing: "Aqing, he wants to recognize us, I think he is sincere to his mother. Yes, do you want to recognize this uncle?"

Li Qing thought to himself, Brother Zhaocai said that the people in the old house of the brother-in-law's house have already started to live as things. Although the brother-in-law went out adoptively, that person is his biological father after all. Come to the door to ask for trouble, my brother-in-law is now an official in Kyoto, and every move is watched! There are elders in the family, and some people will come to them for theories at that time.

  Li Qing smiled at Li Yu after thinking about it, "Sister, brother-in-law, if he really recognizes us, let's recognize each other!"

   Zhou Jia nodded after listening, "After all, there are elders over there. Since we decided to admit it, we will take the initiative and not wait for them to come to the door..."

   Before Zhou Jia finished speaking, Zhaocai reported at the door: "Master, Madam, that Lin Xueshi and his wife were brought to the door with a gift."

   Li Yu, Zhou Jia, and Li Qing hurriedly went to the front hall, only to see Lin Zexu and Gong Shi with two men and two girls, followed by a few servants carrying gifts, just past the screen wall.

   Zhou Jia and Li Qing stepped forward and bowed and said, "Scholar Lin, Mrs. Lin, please come in."

  Lin Zexu heard Li Qing calling him Bachelor Lin, and looked at Li Yu and Li Qing with red eyes, "A Yu, A Qing, are you still unwilling to forgive my uncle?"

   Mrs. Gong stepped forward and said to Li Yu, "Your uncle has never forgotten your mother all these years. He has always blamed himself. He feels that he has failed the entrustment of his father-in-law and his mother-in-law and failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a brother."

Li Yu looked at the eyes of the Lin family couple with red eyes, and was also a little sad. He bowed his knees to Lin Zexu and said, "A-Qing and I forgive you, if you didn't come to my house first, we would also go to your house to meet the second elder. ."

   "Then you forgive me? Are you willing to recognize my uncle?" Lin Zexu looked at Li Yu and his brother in surprise after hearing this.

  Li Qing saw that Li Yu was blushing and couldn't say anything, so he stepped forward and bowed to Lin Zexu: "Yes, uncle."

   Lin Zexu helped Li Qing up, "Aqing, Ayu, thank you for forgiving uncle."

   Zhou Jia smiled and said to Li Qing: "Ah Qing, let's ask the second old man and these guys to sit down in the main hall first!"

  Li Qing nodded, smiled and said to the Lin Zexu family, "Uncle, aunt, please."
