Time Travel and Love

Chapter 500 Red Seal

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month. The next day was the New Year's Day. The Dayu Kingdom also needed to stay up all night to celebrate the New Year.

On the morning of the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, Jiang Qing and Jiang Che came with their wives, concubines and children to pay their respects and kowtow, but Dong still did not leave the yard.

"The son and his wife, Ms. Li, come to pay their respects to their father and mother."

"The son and his wife, Ms. Xu, come to pay their respects to their father and mother."

The two brothers and their wives and concubines knelt down first to pay their respects, and only after they had paid their respects were the grandchildren allowed to do so.

Mo Liujin was extremely happy. This was the first New Year's Eve reunion with them since Qing Meng was in good health.

"Hurry up, get up, Chunhe." Chu Qingmeng was also happy, probably because it was the first time they were celebrating the New Year together. He quickly called Chunhe to give Hongfeng.

Jiang Qing, Jiang Che and the others didn't expect that they would have red envelopes. Each of the four of them contained 10,000 taels of silver notes, Jiang Qing and Jiang Che each had 26, and Li and Xu each had 8.

Several concubines also received some, but only 500 taels of silver notes each, but this was a windfall for them. Their monthly allowance was only 5 taels, and this was an increase of 3 taels after they became pregnant.

Several people looked at each other, puzzled by the number. Jiang Qing asked, "Mother, what is this?"

"Before, I was away. Now that I'm back, I naturally have to make up for it. But no matter how I try, I can't make up for the time I lost." Chu Qingmeng smiled. Seeing that the two brothers looked so moved that they were about to cry, he quickly interrupted them, "Alright, alright, stop blocking my grandson from paying his respects to me. Go away."

Jiang Qing and Jiang Che laughed. Sure enough, a mother's love vanished as quickly as it came. The four of them sat down, the concubines standing behind Li and Xu, and the grandchildren came forward one by one to pay their respects to Mo Liujin, Jiang Qing, and Jiang Che. Chu Qingmeng, as usual, gave them red envelopes according to their age, one thousand taels each.

Finally, the baby-voiced little Mingwei followed his brothers' example and came forward to pay his respects, "Zhufu, Zhumu, happy Xinshui Festival."

Chu Qingmeng was so amused that he picked her up and kissed her fiercely a few times. He took the two red envelopes handed to him by Chunhe and placed them in Xiao Mingwei's hands. Seeing her holding them with both hands, Chu Qingmeng smiled even more happily, "My little Mingwei, why are you so cute?"

Looking at Chu Qingmeng's happy expression, Mo Liujin's eyes and brows were all smiling. God knows how many years he had been looking forward to this scene!

When his letter home turned into a eulogy, when "Respectfully admonishing my wife" turned into "Sacrificing to my wife", and he had already given up the extravagant hope that she was still alive, she finally came back.

He was even somewhat thankful that he hadn't died, that he had lived on like a walking corpse, clinging to that glimmer of hope. He had waited for her to come back.

"Okay, it's almost time, it's time to go to the palace." Mo Liujin stood up, took Xiao Mingwei, and walked out of the palace with Chu Qingmeng in his arms.

The concubines in the house bowed and saw off the masters and queens of each courtyard and then returned to their respective courtyards.

Before getting on the carriage, Shuang Cheng rushed back to deliver the pills and then left. Chu Qingmeng had asked Shuang Cheng to go back and rest as early as the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month. Shuang Cheng was worried at first because he didn't trust the skills of Feiying and the others, but Ling Xian said that since Xiaojiu had spoken, they should rest, so he returned to the Kui family, and Mo Yunting sent Jingming back.

Chu Qingmeng took the elixir and held Xiao Mingwei in her arms, teasing him. Li and Xu sat beside them, accompanied by the maids and servants. The men, including Ze Yu, rode on horses. Although they were too small to ride alone, they were accompanied by guards and sat on horses.

Apparently, their time was about the same as Mo Liuyuan's. After saying hello, the two brothers set off for the palace at the same time. The distance was short, and they arrived in just a few moments.

Everyone arrived around the same time, and for a moment, the palace gate was bustling with activity. After getting off the carriage and greeting each other, Chu Qingmeng said to Mu Lingxue, "I haven't seen you in the past few days. Are you so busy?"

Mu Lingxue rolled her eyes at her and said, "You've been lazy all day and haven't taken care of the house's affairs. Of course you have nothing to do!"

"There's no way. I really can't learn this. Whenever I see that account book, I feel like I'm about to grow a new brain. It hurts so much." Chu Qingmeng jokingly pulled Mu Lingxue to wipe away the non-existent tears.

"Pfft." Mu Lingxue was amused by her. "If you don't like the pain, then don't grow any more. Just be lazy!"

Everyone was talking and laughing as they walked towards Mo Chenfeng's yard. Mo Liujin kept looking back because he was afraid that Chu Qingmeng was frozen and couldn't walk anymore.

"You don't seem to be that afraid of the cold today, and you didn't say you couldn't walk anymore." Mu Lingxue saw that Chu Qingmeng was in high spirits.

"I took the medicine just before getting on the carriage. I'll feel better in the next few days." Chu Qingmeng responded with a smile.

"Is it normal medicine?" Mu Lingxue was a little worried. The effect of this medicine was a bit like a stimulant. It made a sick person suddenly so energetic. It didn't seem like a good thing at all.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Chu Qingmeng didn't care. She ate her father's pills as if they were food. How long had it been since she took one? She was just worried that her body couldn't bear it.

Everyone entered the house. Mo Liufang had been waiting for a long time. He and Lin Yue took the lead in paying their respects to Mo Chenfeng and his wife, and then they stood up and sat down. Jiang Heng then led them to pay their respects. They stood outside the door, and Ze Yi brought his peers to pay their respects one by one.

The place became lively after the ceremony. There were more than a hundred men of the Jiang generation and their wives, not to mention those of the Ze generation.
