It was such a coincidence that there were no new horses or anything invisible.
After everyone stayed up so embarrassingly until the night, Niu Chicao finally returned with a few carriages of things Xu Yunyan needed, and the entire Xu Mansion finally became peaceful.
It's a new day, and the Xu Mansion is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. Today is a big day, Xu Yunyan's engagement day.
The entire Xu Mansion was very lively, and the people of the Xu Mansion were using all the means they could think of to make the Xu Mansion, the only place as big as it was, look brand new.
A lot of villagers from Zhaojia Village also came out to congratulate Xu Yunyan. In addition to the cooks, one family came with a basket of dates and another family came with a basket of fish.
They were all poor people and did not have any good things, so they took out the only good things at home and brought them to Xu Yunyan to congratulate him.
Engagement in ancient times was different from today. Mei Jingjing, as the betrothed woman, had no chance to attend, and she had no relatives here to replace her, but it didn't matter.
Who in the entire Zhaojia Village doesn’t know what Mei Jingjing looks like? Who doesn't know where her relatives are? Isn't it right here? Who is not her new relative?
Engagement is just a formality now.
One after another, the simple people of Zhaojia Village came to congratulate Xu Yunyan with their only good things. Xu Yunyan was not a stingy person. He not only invited them to eat and drink, but also gave each of them a small package. , including a few copper coins in bulk to express my feelings and hope for a good fortune.
In the midst of the gratitude of these Zhaojiacun villagers, a loud voice rang out.
"The governor of Chuzhou has arrived."
No one thought that such a simple thing in this small rural village would usher in such a big official. Just when they were surprised here, Liu Jian, the governor of Chuzhou, was walking in the courtyard in a hurry.
However, this time Liu Jian did not wear the official uniform of his governor, but instead wore ordinary clothes. He entered the courtyard and greeted the older Zhaojia Village villagers with fists in his hands.
"Brothers, please be polite. I'm late. Is it okay?"
The grandfathers of Zhaojiacun should be considered at the peak of their lives this time. The governor gave them a fist, and it was said that Beier had face.
As Liu Jian took his seat, another
Lord Pan of Zhechong Prefecture and officials from the Salt and Iron Transfer Department, followed closely by the county magistrate of Yancheng and several county magistrates belonging to Chuzhou counties in remote areas, as well as county lieutenants and so on.
As long as they could come, basically everyone came. Xu Yunyan did not expect that his small engagement would alarm all the powerful officials in Chuzhou. In addition to these officials, there were also some prominent figures in Chuzhou. People would never dare to come to a gift sent by someone like that.
How big is Zhaojiacun? How big is Xu Mansion? These smart guys have already calculated how many tables they can put on. They don't dare to cause trouble to Xu Yunyan here. Although the more people come, the more lively it becomes, but you guys who can't reach it, why are you here to join in the fun?
The guests came in groups after groups, and finally they crowded and sat down in the Xu Mansion. The end of the bustle was a happy event for Xu Yunyan, but for them part of it might be a sincere blessing. As for It's hard to tell what kind of mentality the other people have here.
You come and go, it's so lively.
After finally sending them all away, Xu Yunyan stood at the door and breathed a sigh of relief after watching the last guest being sent away.
"So tired!"
However, Yue'er quietly came to Xu Yunyan's side, "Brother, you have a wife now, do you no longer want Yue'er?"
"What are you talking about?"
Xu Yunyan was a little upset by Xu Yunyue's inexplicable words, and then looked at Yue'er in confusion, but Yue'er started talking there.
"My sister-in-law originally lived out of town. When she joined our Xu family, she severed ties with her original relatives. Do I also have to cut ties with my brother when he marries me?"
Xu Yunyue asked carefully here, but Xu Yunyan laughed.
"Yue'er, what do you think? How could this be the case?"
After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, he explained to her what he had seen and heard in Zhenhai Township, and he did such a thing out of desperation.
After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, Yue'er was still pouting, "Is this really the case?"
And Xu Yunyan was so embarrassed, how on earth should he explain it to her? But then I thought about it and immediately thought of another excuse.
"Yue'er, you said our parents..."
When she mentioned her parents, Yue'er's face darkened again, and Xu Yunyan knew that she was wrong.
Yes, I hurriedly started talking here.
"In the past, did you see that our relatives had severed ties? Didn't they always come and go?"
But after Xu Yunyan finished speaking, something was wrong with Yue'er again. "Brother, when I met a relative like you, my other relatives were gone. Does this mean that when I found a group of relatives, I lost a group of relatives?"
This question was really tricky, and Xu Yunyan didn't know what to do. But just when Xu Yunyan was embarrassed here, the only governor of Chuzhou hadn't left yet, and even the people in Zhaojia Village had almost left. , Liu Jian, the governor of Chuzhou who was still staying here, stepped forward and said with a smile.
"What you little sister said is really interesting. You can meet noble people everywhere in life. Maybe you will meet the one you like sometime, but you don't need to break off the relationship with your brother."
Hearing this voice, Xu Yunyan turned to look at Liu Jian who had not left, and hurriedly clasped his fists, "Liu Inspector, you haven't left yet. Didn't I just watch you go out?"
As soon as Xu Yunyan finished saying this, Liu Jian felt a little embarrassed, "That, that..."
Seeing Liu Jian looking a little embarrassed, Xu Yunyan looked at him doubtfully, "I wonder what's wrong with Mr. Liu?"
"This...I have reliable news from Beijing."
After Liu Jian said this, he looked left and right like a thief. After looking around for no one, he quietly said to Xu Yunyan.
"Your Majesty seems to have new arrangements for you, sir."
"How are we going to arrange this? Are we still going to call us adults?"
This surprised Xu Yunyan. It seemed that he had been promoted?
But Xu Yunyan didn't understand, and Liu Jian said here, "It's just, how should I put it? It's quite complicated anyway. Maybe it won't be long before there is a decree to let Xu Shijun come to Beijing to take up a post."
After Liu Jian said this, he cupped his hands and left. This made Xu Yunyan a little confused.
What on earth have you done, and why do you want to work in Beijing again? However, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, and the car will find its way to the mountain. Even if you don't understand it, you will understand what is going on when the imperial edict really comes.
But while Xu Yunyan was thinking about what was going on, Xu Yunyue said from the side, "Brother, will you take us with you when you enter Beijing?"
