The new book of the burning prairie star

Chapter 149: Contentment brings wealth and happiness

After being humiliated at the Xia family, Yang Biao returned to Yuanyang Jinlou. He planned to make a few jade pieces here to give to Qin Xiaoran. He hadn't seen her for several days and really missed her a little.

"Master," Shen Chuan was a little surprised to see him coming. Isn't today the day to accompany the bride back home? Why is he in Jinlou?

"You're not..." Shen Chuan didn't want to get involved, so he squeezed his thumb tightly, trying to shut himself up. In the end, he couldn't hold it back anymore, thinking that he was young and from another place, and might not know the customs of Guangping Prefecture. "Today, the lady is going back to her parents' home. According to the local customs, the master has to have lunch at his father-in-law's house."

"Okay, I know. You go ahead and do your work. I'll go back." What else could Yang Biao say? Could it be that Xia Weiwei's family didn't like him and didn't invite him to dinner at all?

This was in ancient times. He never thought that there would be a day when he would feel disliked by the girl's parents. Then he thought, what's the big deal? He had never touched Xia Weiwei and had no intention of marrying her. He was just a helper. Why should he worry about it and care what her parents thought? If Prince Jin left, he would never visit the Xia family again.

Life can never be perfect, and we should only be half satisfied with everything. People feel happy not because they have everything, but because they cherish everything they have now. Those who are content are rich and contented are always happy.

After thinking all this through, she whistled in a good mood. She couldn't go to Qin Xiaoran's place for the time being, for fear that King Jin would discover her existence and bring her trouble.

Yang Biao asked Ji Lang to change his direction again and go back to Ratetu Road to study and practice calligraphy.

"Master," Jiang Sheng and several others followed him on horseback. They were clearly heading to Xingning Street just now, so why did they change their mind again?

"Well, I remembered that I still have some things to do, so I won't go. Let's go to the barbecue restaurant and have some beer." Yang Biao changed his mind again and decided to spend the day busy.

When they heard they were going to have a barbecue, Jiang Sheng and the others were silent. They hadn't had a barbecue for a long time, and their mouths felt dry.

"Chi Liang, how's business lately?" It's almost noon now, and the barbecue shop doesn't open until 3 p.m.

"Master, business is pretty good, but we are so tired every day that we can't even straighten our backs." Chi Liang thought it would be best to ask Yang Biao to hire more people to help. He thought that everyone was working so hard because there were not enough people.

"Weiwei," Liu came out, took her hand, and looked her up and down carefully. Except for the change in her hairstyle, which was now a topknot, there was no other change. She took her hand and walked forward. Xia Zhaofeng followed closely behind them, "Come on, let's eat. I asked the kitchen to make all your favorite dishes."

"Baby, try this!" Seeing that his daughter was not in a good mood, Xia Zhaofeng put a piece of lamb chop in her bowl.

"Yeah," Xia Weiwei smiled at him, showing no sign of any unpleasantness that had happened before.

"Hey, mother, give your daughter a piece of meat too." Seeing her smiling at Xia Zhaofeng, Liu also wanted to get a smile from the child.

"Mom, eat too!" Xia Weiwei also smiled, and she picked up a piece of lamb chop for Liu.

"Well," Xia Zhaofeng hurriedly handed his bowl to his daughter and motioned her to put the lamb chops in it.

Xia Weiwei put it into her mouth without hesitation and ate the lamb chop.

"Puchi!" Liu laughed sarcastically. This guy wanted to compete with her for favor. Now, his daughter was not given to anyone. Neither of them ended up well!

Xia Zhaofeng was not annoyed and continued to pick up food for his daughter. Seeing the child eating with relish, his heart was filled with happiness.

"Daughter, we haven't played chess together for a long time. Daddy is free today, let's play a game?" During the seven days when Xia Weiwei came back, Xia Zhaofeng wanted to spend more time with the child. The child is married and will have her own life in the future. It would be impossible for him to see the child whenever he wants.

"Okay, white moves first!" Xia Weiwei sat in front of the chessboard. The two sides moved back and forth. Liu watched the game from the side with great interest.

"The pupil surpasses the master. My husband, you lost again!" Her daughter's chess skills were taught by her husband himself, and Liu was proud of it. She first handed a peeled pear to Xia Weiwei, and then gave another to Xia Zhaofeng.

They both took the pear. Xia Zhaofeng took a big bite and the pear juice overflowed. "This pear is very sweet. Where did you buy it?"

"It wasn't bought. Our daughter brought it here today." Mrs. Liu said with a smile, and the couple looked at Xia Weiwei at the same time.

"These pears are grown by Yang Biao's family. I thought they were fresh, so I sent them to Dad to try." Xia Weiwei also took a bite. They were indeed very sweet, but she felt very uncomfortable.

"Oh, he also has land in the capital and grows pears?" Xia Zhaofeng was quite surprised. He thought that a while ago, the two censors wanted to return to Beijing early to report, and those confiscated lands were indeed sold at a low price. It was not surprising that Yang Biao would buy land.

"I not only grow pears, but also other fruit trees. Some of them are not yet ripe. I'll send them to you to try after a few days when they're ripe." While eating pears, Xia Weiwei chatted with her parents about family matters.

"Master," upon hearing that Xia Weiwei had returned home, the drunk Prince Jin broke into the Rose Courtyard. Lian Ming wanted to stop him, but he didn't dare to use too much force for fear of hurting him.

"Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin. May the Prince of Jin live a thousand years." Upon seeing the Prince of Jin coming in, Xia Zhaofeng hurriedly knelt down to pay his respects.

Liu and Xia Weiwei also knelt on the ground and saluted. Prince Jin stumbled towards Xia Weiwei, "Why do you look down on me, huh?"

"Your Highness Prince Jin, I'm already married, please respect yourself!" Xia Weiwei frowned. How much alcohol must he have drunk? She could smell the alcohol coming from him from a long distance away.

"So what if we're married? I want you to serve me tonight. Do you hear me?" Jin Wang Qian yelled at her while drunk. He was determined to win this beauty today no matter what.

He hurried forward, grabbed her hand, and was about to drag her into the house.

After all, the Prince of Jin was the emperor's son. Even though he behaved so blatantly and in front of him, Xia Zhaofeng did not dare to attack him. He felt really aggrieved in his heart. As a local official, if he did so, he would be charged with disrespecting the prince. Then, not only would he not be able to protect his beloved daughter, but all nine members of his clan might suffer.

Liu also clenched the handkerchief in her hand, anxiously thinking about how to deal with this matter so as to prevent Prince Jin from getting his wish and at the same time save the lives and property of so many people in the Xia Mansion.

"Your Highness Prince Jin, you've drunk too much," Xia Weiwei shook off his hand and turned to order, "Shi Rui, send Prince Jin back to Songbai Courtyard."

"I don't want to go to Songbaiyuan. I want to live here and be with you." Prince Jin struggled to break free from Shi Rui, but he was drunk and his footing was unstable, so he fell to the ground.

"Come back to the capital with me. I want to marry you and ask my father to make you the Princess of Jin." Prince Jin stood up shakily and walked towards Xia Weiwei.
