Seeing her attitude, Mrs. Wang said nothing.
The son-in-law Jiu who returned from the Li family, except for the clan leader and a few clan elders, the rest were all from the old house.
Logically speaking, everyone wants to drink wine to a son-in-law.
However, I don't know whether it was because Xie Yanzhi was a man of great fame or because everyone had high hopes for him and protected him. In short, no one asked him to drink during this meal.
Even if there was a toast, it was with Old Man Li and brothers Li Dahai.
Li Yuan and Xie Yanzhi originally planned to entertain Chen Hao after returning to the county town. Unexpectedly, before their son-in-law had finished the meal, Su Mingshan came over with someone.
What's interesting is that Su Mingshan disguised herself as a man and rode a horse with Chen Hao, and there was still a carriage behind them.
The driver of the carriage was the driver of the Su family, and sitting in the carriage was Su Lan and Chen Hao's personal servant Bai Yan, who came from the capital at some unknown time.
Su Mingshan lived in Lijia'ao for some time and was very familiar with it.
She didn't even have to think about it, she also knew that when Li Yuan came back today, she must have come to the old house.
No, she took the lead in riding a horse to the door of the old house and shouted inside: "Sister Li, Caiwei, are you there? Mr. Chen and I are here!"
Li Yuan had almost eaten. When she heard this, she and Cai Wei's first reaction was to put down their chopsticks and run out.
When Xie Yan heard about Mr. Chen, he immediately said to Old Man Li and Li Qinghua: "Here we come! Mr. Chen outside the door is Chen Hao, the eldest grandson of the General Protector's Mansion!"
Old Man Li knew more than Mrs. Wang. As soon as he heard about the General Protector's Mansion, he looked at Li Qinghua and several clan elders and immediately stood up and went out to greet them, without even bothering to eat.
Wang Can subconsciously looked at Li Jun and saw that he had stood up, so he followed him.
When Li Yuan arrived at the door, Chen Hao was getting off his horse.
Because men and women are on guard nowadays, Li Yuan couldn't ask Chen Hao, so she asked Su Mingshan directly: "Sister Su, why are you here with Mr. Chen? What are you dressed like this?"
Su Mingshan smiled and when she saw Caiwei, she bent down and rubbed her head: "Do you miss Master?"
"Think about it! Master, are you going to stay at our house this time? How many days will you stay?"
"Well, I'll stay at your house. We went into the city before we came here. Then we saw the place where your mother used to set up a stall, and there was a sign saying it would open on the 16th. When Master comes this time, he has to eat all the food from your mother's good luck noodle stall. Now, I’ll celebrate your birthday before you leave.”
Xiao Qingsha also ran up to Su Mingshan, raised her head and shouted: "Master!"
Su Mingshan called the little girl master again and again. She had already made up her mind to accept the little girl as her disciple when she grew up.
Anyway, these two are biological sisters, and her brother-in-law Xie is also a capable man. The more involved he is with their family, the better it will be for her.
She came all the way from Fucheng to provide disaster relief, and she found that Chen Hao was particularly outstanding and always attracted her attention.
But she knew that there was a huge difference between herself and him.
Not to mention that she still cares about Qin Muyang in her heart, but she has completely broken off the relationship. She will not and does not want to be with someone who is not from the right family.
In the General Protector's Mansion, let alone Chen Hao's eldest grandson, even if he was a concubine, it was not her turn to marry a merchant girl.
Even marrying him as a concubine is not enough.
She knew this and was self-aware.
There are thousands of outstanding men in the world, but she, Su Mingshan, only has one, and her parents only have one child.
It would be most practical for her to find a son-in-law who comes to her and live her own life!
When Li Yuan saw that Su Mingshan didn't answer, she changed the topic and asked, "Sister Su, you haven't eaten yet? Why don't you go to my parents' house first, and Can Niang and I will cook the dishes ourselves?"
"I won't disturb you, will I?"
"No, we've almost eaten. Let's go, let Mr. Chen talk to Brother Xie here first, and we'll leave first."
As she spoke, she nodded to the carriage driver of the Su Mansion, and then looked at Su Lan in the carriage.
"Su Lan, I wonder if the young master next to you has any taboos?"
Sulan and Bai Yan have become very familiar with each other these days because of their respective masters.
After hearing what Li Yuan said, she said: "Ms. Li, this is Mr. Chen's personal servant Bai Yan. He is easy to support and has no taboos."
"Okay, let's go then!"
After Li Yuan left with Su Mingshan, Su Lan and others, Chen Hao was welcomed in by the people from the old house.
Xie Yanzhi and Chen Hao walked side by side. Seeing that the Li family and the Li clan did not dare to say anything, they pulled him aside and whispered to him that County Magistrate Xu had done something good.
Chen Hao is most impatient with idiots who engage in intrigues, especially those who are trying to make money for the people above them.
Hearing that Xie Yanzhi's bridal chamber was full of flowers and candles, someone came to ask for money, and he had a dark face.
"Although I haven't passed my birthday yet, my cousin-in-law has already given me the name Boming. Brother Shao'an, although you and my uncle are classmates and good friends, we can be considered the same generation. But the age difference between you and me is not big, so I will I call you brother, how about you call me good brother? It’s a bit unfamiliar to always call me Mr. Chen.”
When Xie Yan heard Bo Ming, he said: "This is a very good calligraphy! Bo Zhong, Shu Ji, you are the eldest brother in the ranking, and your name is Bo. I chose the word Ming because I hope you can distinguish right from wrong. Brother Bo Ming, I have troubled you with this!"
Chen Hao said with a smile: "Actually, my family has a family of military generals, so I don't need any words at all. My grandfather will help me get it, and it's just for the literati's liking. In recent years, due to the peaceful and prosperous times, even if the sages today do not value literature over martial arts, the imperial court The signs are becoming more and more obvious.”
It was inconvenient for Xie Yanzhi to comment on such matters involving the court.
After he told Chen Hao about Magistrate Xu, he took him and introduced him to the Li family.
When Li Qinghua heard the other party's identity and looked at his demeanor, he was filled with excitement.
The Li family married a daughter and earned glory that their ancestors had never had before.
Xie Yanzhi is really awesome and capable, so you can’t go wrong by listening to him.
The wayfinding has been done, which is equivalent to finding a way out for them. As soon as they find something wrong, they can leave quickly.
Therefore, this year, the entire village must plant drought-tolerant crops.
Anyone who disobeys the arrangements will be exterminated. If they have other surnames, they will be driven out of Lijia'ao.
Or when the time comes to leave, you won’t take them with you.
After all, their Li family uncle is doing it all for them. The other surnames are just incidental to living here!
Outside the gate of Liuyun County at that time
With the "help" of Master Cao and a group of brothers, County Magistrate Xu finally arrived at his post.
He was angry and angry, but he didn't dare to explode in front of Master Cao.
No, after Master Cao took his people away, he didn't even enter the city gate.
He sat in the carriage and looked at Master Bai with dark eyes: "Old Bai, go and ask the county magistrate, the chief secretary, the county Wei, and the head catcher to come see me!"
Master Bai has suffered a lot in the past two days and his mind has been completely clear. This is not a place where they can act recklessly.
At least at this stage, it is impossible.
