slept until the middle of the night. Before she could even open her eyes, she heard rustling sounds coming from inside the house. She thought robbers had broken in.On closer inspection, I saw Grandma..."Oh, this is a great idea!" Mao Ge'er immediately nodded and agreed, "Fourth Sister-in-law is the Queen. Countless people are curious about her and want to see her. With Grandma and the aunts away, your grand celebration of the rhododendrons blossoming is the most suitable."

Also, remember to send invitations to the academy, Big Brother and Sixth Brother are going to take the exam and then become officials, but your brother still has two years left at the academy.

"I don't expect the academy to value me in any way, at least don't confine me. Just let me do my homework all day."

Jia Yin rolled her eyes at her brother's laziness. "Don't you plan to take an imperial examination and achieve fame The academy is a place for studying, not some temporary inn for you!"

Cat-ge grinned pleasingly, "Little sister don't say that like that, hehe, I haven't been busy writing about my overseas travelogues recently When I finish writing, I will definitely go back and study hard."

He said that, and everyone just smiled and let it go, no one took him seriously.

At the end of the day, among the Li family's children, it was Cat Brother who enjoyed the most blessings. His older brother had smoothly and successfully passed the imperial examination and become a high official, while his other cousins were all outstanding in their own right.

Here, he had no burden of family honor or pressure. He only needed to please himself and not cause trouble for his family.

After chatting idly for a while and briefly discussing the details of the flower viewing party, everyone dispersed.

Zhi Min and Xiu Jie la were going to browse the bookstore, Li Ge'er, Mao Ge'er, and Guo Wenhao were all dragged along as strategists.

Guo Wenhao originally wanted to say a few words to Jiayin, but he didn't get the chance at all.

Mu Xu also hurriedly said, "County princess, let's go to the fruit and vegetable shop. There are many things to do for the flower viewing party, and we need to return earlier to discuss with Madam Shao."

Jia Yin nodded and went to the fruit and vegetable shop and hot pot shop, took today's account book and went straight back to Suijintan.

Wan'er and Aibei took the children, as well as the maidservants who attended them, to the hot springs valley.

This season, the valleys are filled with flowers in bloom. A light mist hangs in the air, creating a picturesque and ethereal landscape of breathtaking beauty.

With no outsiders around, the mountain orchard was peaceful and quiet. As long as they guarded the mouth of the valley, all the young girls could frolic happily for most of the day.

So, when they got home, each of their faces still wore a smile.

Jia Yin had just baked two batches of snacks, made milk tea and squeezed juice. When she saw everyone come back, she asked Shui Ling and Shui Yun to serve them.

Everyone cheered uncontrollably and ate heartily.

The children even hugged their aunt's legs, their little mouths sticky with honey as they cried out, "Aunt is the best! Aunt makes the tastiest snacks!"

Jia Yin was coaxed into a smile, her eyes shining with joy. She hugged them one by one and kissed each of them.

After Wan'er and Aibei had finished their meal, they inquired about the happenings in the city.

Jia Yin simply explained, then brought up the flower-viewing banquet. Wan'er immediately agreed, and Ai Bei had no objections either.

Then, Jia Yin called Shui Ling to help with the guest list, and they finalized most of it.

After nightfall, Lao Er Li and Mr. Wen returned with Jia Ren and the others.

Li Laosan went back to the academy. Jiatuan guarded the tavern and several shops, but didn't come back either.

Li Laer heard that a flower viewing banquet was to be held and added the names of two close colleagues' wives to the guest list.

Mr. Wen also added two more, both from families close to Mrs. Wen.

Because the flower-viewing banquet was returning to Earl's Mansion, Ai Bei was still reluctant to leave Suijin Beach.

Suijin Beach wasn't the most beautiful scenery she had ever seen, but it was the place that made her feel the most at ease and warm.

No wonder her husband missed this place so much whenever he was at sea...

The next morning, Lao Er Li and Mr. Wen hurried into the city again.

They need to stay busy, and it's not just because the northern army has left.

Instead, they are more careful than before.

Because the main army is outside, all reliance and confidence are in the imperial court. Any slight change can have a huge impact and harm to the northern expeditionary army.

While Wan'er was busy writing invitations and shopping, Jia Yin helped her sister-in-law prepare ingredients and other necessities.

Of course, the most important thing is still flowers, after all, it's a flower viewing banquet.

Even if everyone knows that the flower viewing is a gimmick, they still have to arrange it to look nice.

Fortunately, some peach trees were planted in the space, and they are about to blossom.

Jia Yin simply moved the peach tree and planted it in the Earl's garden.

Thus, after the flower-viewing banquet ended, in late summer, there were peaches to eat at home.

In the midst of busyness, days fly by quickly.

That day, Caiyun suddenly came from the palace, and Jia Yin quickly pulled her aside to chat.

"What is the princess busy with in the palace Why hasn't she come to play with me lately Did the snacks I sent into the palace, the Third Princess eat them"

Cai Yun was composed and replied thoroughly, “Thank you, Princess for remembering. The princess enjoyed the snacks you sent before, very much. She always talks about you, thinking of you all the time.”

"However, the princess has some happy news recently and is shy to go out."

Jia Yin was taken aback and quickly asked, "Has the princess's marriage been decided"

Water Spirit and Water Cloud were also curious, laughing as they urged, "Sister Caiyun, tell us quickly, did the Third Princess really choose a husband"

Cai Yun smiled and nodded, "Yes, the imperial decree has just been issued. The emperor has arranged a marriage between the Third Princess and Lu Shizi!"

"Oh, it's really Young Master Lu! Young Master Lu is a good person, handsome, and kind too!"

"That's right, he even won the title of Best Match this time! He and the princess are simply a match made in heaven."

Waterling and Watercloud showered the third princess with praise, their voices brimming with joy.

Jia Yin also beamed with delight and chuckled, "Since the imperial decree has been issued, what is there for the princess to be shy about! I've arranged a flower viewing banquet at my home. Tell her she must come! I've even invited young storytellers to perform. If she misses all the fun, don't blame me for not telling her!"

Caiyun's eyes sparkled with delight as she quickly replied, "That sounds wonderful! I'll be sure to tell the princess. The princess has been longing to see those young ladies whom the county magistrate had recommended. She never expected them to make an appearance at this flower viewing banquet."

Before, Jia Yin once went to the relief office to pick up her second uncle home. Occasionally, she heard a few children quarreling. Two little girls were particularly sharp-tongued, their expressions both amusing and cute.

Suddenly inspired, she wrote some crosstalk skits for the two little girls to practice.

To my surprise, the two little girls were extremely talented and learned very quickly.

A month ago, Old Madam Jia celebrated her birthday. Jiayin sent two young girls to perform a short act, which made all the women laugh non-stop. The scene was extremely lively and festive.

The two young girls only got over twenty taels of silver, enough to support their food and clothing for five or six years.

At the relief agency, children who are unwilling to study will also be taught some survival skills.

For this, Jia Yin discussed with her second uncle and added this lucky money-making method.

Two young girls, both under ten years old, went from house to house in the backyards, telling stories to the womenfolk and keeping them entertained. They weren't likely to cause any trouble.if my younger brother won more money, he could pay off the debt.She wouldn't have to keep coming to her for money anymore, so she gave Fu Niuer to her younger brother, hoping it would bring him good l...
