Shu Yu asked about Zhou Tiedong’s injury again, and Father Zhou said it was almost healed, and he could start working after the wedding.
Shu Yu told him not to rush, after just getting married, he should rest a bit. The shop is not finished yet, there’s still ti.
Father Zhou chatted for a few monts before taking his leave, knowing Shu Yu was busy and didn’t want to disturb further.
After seeing them off, Shu Yu turned and asked Ying Xi to pick a gift.
Although she didn’t have ti to go herself, on the day of Zhou Tiedong’s wedding, Ying Xi brought Shu Yu’s gift to Tuqiao Village to celebrate their marriage.
Shu Yu’s wedding gifts were always straightforward and bold, every ti she sent a marriage gift, it was either gold ornants or jade.
This ti, it was a golden hairpin.
The golden hairpin was crafted very finely and was not lightweight, placed in a box lined with red silk, imdiately catching people’s attention.
Many people attending the wedding were envious. So guests had said cynical remarks earlier, suggesting Father Zhou eagerly sought people and even specially asked a Scholar to write invitations, yet couldn’t invite the county magistrate, clearly indicating she didn’t regard the Zhou family well, helping Zhou Tiedong was just a mont of goodwill.
Who knew, although the county magistrate didn’t co, she sent her close maid with such a generous gift.
This was a golden hairpin, which looked quite expensive.
Zhou Tiedong felt very embarrassed as he hadn’t worked for the county magistrate yet, to receive such a big gift felt undeserved.
Ying Xi said, "You are now part of Lu’s staff, which ans you belong to the county magistrate. The county magistrate always treats her people well. Even if you didn’t send a wedding invitation, once she knew about your marriage, she would make up for the gift. As long as you perform well in the future, your treatnt won’t be poor."
The Zhou family thanked repeatedly, Father Zhou and Mother Zhou repeatedly cautioned Zhou Tiedong to be loyal to the county magistrate and not be lazy in his work.
The guests were even more envious after hearing Ying Xi’s words, wasn’t Zhou Tiedong truly blessed after surviving such difficulties? Initially, he was frad and imprisoned, Father Zhou and Mother Zhou were helpless, everyone thought the Zhou family was dood.
Unexpectedly, things turned around, not only is Dongzi living well, but his case was overturned, and now he has made influential acquaintances with powerful backing, truly wonderful.
Ying Xi didn’t stay long, after delivering the gift, she exchanged a few words privately with Zhou Tiedong before taking her leave.
Zhou Tiedong’s face was full of joy, others gathered around him asking, "What did the young lady say just now?"
Zhou Tiedong replied with a smile, "Miss Ying Xi said the brother I previously ntioned to the county magistrate, who was in the sa cell with , also had his case overturned and has recently been released ho free of charges."
"Really?"
Zhou Tiedong nodded, "I’ll visit him in the county town when I get the chance." Miss Ying Xi also ntioned that Chen Bing was exiled so ti ago.
But on such a happy day, he didn’t dwell on that troubleso person.
The Zhou family was joyous, hosting a simple yet lively wedding.
After getting married, Zhou Tiedong indeed did not rest for many days. On the second day after the traditional visit back ho, he and Wang Yue packed, hired a bullock cart, and hurried to the prefecture.
First, he went to Fuyuan Street, but Shu Yu was not there, only Worker He was inside.
Worker He had already been instructed by Shu Yu and knew him to be Zhou Tiedong, so he said, there were rooms in the backyard, and they could stay there.
It was very late, Zhou Tiedong did not want to disturb Shu Yu, so he rested in the backyard for a night.
The next morning, he took Wang Yue to find Shu Yu.
