Chapter 111: The Behavior of a Rich Family
Cui Zhifan got a headache on the spot.
It's all such a coincidence.
He immediately sent someone to recall Nanny Wu and others who had been looking for them at the border. They traveled all night and finally found Chen Dayou's home in the early morning of that day.
The door opened and my sister came out of the kitchen.
The rough skin is no longer as tender as it was when we were separated, and the fingers have become thick and knuckled, which at first glance is the result of years of hard work.
He felt terrible pain in his heart
I wish I could slap myself in the face a few times to punish myself for the suffering I caused my sister by leaving alone.
Chen Dayou set the table in the courtyard and invited people to sit down. Under the witness of the village chief, Cui Zhifan solemnly saluted Chen Dayou and thanked him for saving his sister's life.
Chen Dayou quickly avoided it.
Aunt Wu led all the servants over: "Miss, no, madam, this old slave is kowtowing to you."
"This servant kowtows to Madam and asks Madam for her blessings."
"Slave, please greet me, madam."
Everyone knelt down one after another and knocked their heads on the ground.
After prostrating, stand up.
Aunt Wu automatically stood behind Ms. Cui, while the others went out to do their own business.
I asked Aunt Sun where the tea was, and took over Aunt Sun's help in cooking. There were also people waiting beside little Jiabao'er and Chen Hao, following every step and not daring to look away.
The villagers were all stunned.
It turns out that this is the style of wealthy people, and the performances on the stage are not as good as it is.
Just as I was wondering, there was another noise in the distance.
Groups of guards surrounded the carriage marked by the state capital, followed closely by the carriage marked by the county government, which came over with a roar.
As soon as they arrived at the door, the carriage had just stopped, and Mr. Lin, the prefecture governor, and Mr. Liu, the county magistrate, got out of the carriage.
Two big black birds flew overhead: "Someone is coming, someone is coming."
Cui Zhifan's guards were waiting outside the door. Mr. Lin quickly walked towards the leading guard with a bright smile: "May I ask if he is Mr. Cui's servant?"
The leader pointed to the courtyard: "Yes, your Excellency is inside."
Master Lin and Master Liu looked at each other, adjusted their clothes and hats, and ordered someone to come forward and knock on the door.
The crowd of onlookers backed away.
The person who opened the door was Cui Zhifan's entourage.
"Lin Zicheng, the prefect of Shunzhou, pays homage to the Vice Minister."
"Ping'an County Magistrate Liu Zhisheng pays homage to the Vice Minister."
The crowd was silent, not even coughing.
Only the two black birds in the sky clattered down on the tree at the door, staring with big green bean eyes, "Ah oh!!!"
The courtyard door opened wide. Cui Zhifan put his hands behind his back and nodded lightly, "You two adults are very polite."
Ms. Cui's eyes were red and swollen from crying. She was afraid of being seen, so she lowered her head and walked quietly into the house.
Aunt Wu quickly reached out her hands respectfully and followed her in.
As the two adults stepped in, the atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly became solemn.
They bowed again and took their seats.
Master Lin, the prefect, then said: "Ping'an County was the most severely affected by the defeat of Beidi. A few days ago, Xianguan and General Lan distributed food to the affected people in Ping'an. After hearing about it, several large households in Shunzhou Prefecture generously donated some money.
The food and silver will be given to the people of Ping An. I came here today for this matter. I happened to hear that your Excellency is here to find a relative, so I came here with Mr. Liu to pay a visit. If there is any need for my service, please give me your instructions."
After Magistrate Lin finished speaking, Magistrate Liu also hurriedly agreed.
Cui Zhifan smiled and waved his hands and said: "You two adults are very polite. Cui has just recognized his sister-in-law. It is the time to be grateful in my heart. It is difficult for the two adults to make a special trip. Thank you both. If you don't dislike it, you two
, I’m having a casual meal at my sister’s place today, and it just so happens that Cui also wants to ask you two about the situation of the Beidi spies. I wonder if you two adults can give me a favor? "
Magistrate Lin stood up from his seat excitedly, and repeatedly raised his hands: "I am willing, I am honored to do so. I am honored to do so."
County Magistrate Liu secretly spit in his heart that he was a flatterer, and quickly stood up and said, "I am even more willing. Speaking of which, my mother and my sister are quite related. They have been living here since the war in Beidi, and they have been here again and again since then."
When I come back every time, Xiaguan has to come and pick her up in person, and she can coax her back by coaxing her back. Otherwise, my mother would rather live here for the rest of her life and never think of Xiaguan."
As he spoke, he laughed to himself.
Suddenly the relationship with Cui Zhifan became closer.
Magistrate Lin curled his lips secretly, thinking that he really didn't realize that his usually silent junior brother was so good at talking, a flatterer, a flatterer.
The chatter among them became more and more heated. General Lan was also in Ping'an City and had already sent word that he would come over after finishing his work and wanted to ask for a drink from Cui Shilang.
Chen Dayou accompanied him, while the village chief took Lao Hu and Sun Ximu to kill pigs and sheep. Guards and government servants stood outside the yard. Visually, there was not enough wild boar to eat today, so the village chief quietly carried Jiabao'er out.
The grandfather and grandson quietly went up the mountain.
After a while, Myna flew back from the mountain, landed on Lao Hu's shoulder, put it close to his ear and said, "Take the people up the mountain to drive the pigs and sheep."
Lao Hu tilted his head to look at it, and it tilted its head too, "Look at whatever you're looking at. Just come when I ask you to do it. My little master ordered me to hurry up."
When Lao Hu heard that it was Jiabao'er's order, he put down the things in his hands without saying anything. After thinking about it, he asked Brother Myna to fly into the house to find Cui.
After Mrs. Cui came out, Lao Hu glanced at Nanny Wu who was following behind him, not knowing whether he should say anything or not.
"Brother Hu, this is the grandma who took care of me growing up. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Upon hearing this, Lao Hu nodded quickly: "Jia Bao'er asked the blackbird to come back to deliver a message and ask someone to drive the pigs and sheep. I want to ask the officials outside to help, but I'm afraid they have official business and can't bother, so I want to ask you to ask
Ask the adults."
Before Cui could say anything, Grandma Wu stretched out her hand and called a servant: "Ban'er, go tell the commander and send a few people out to help with the work."
Then he pointed at Lao Hu and said to the boy, "Let everyone obey his command, shall we?"
The village chief and Jiabao'er were sitting under the tree. The cool breeze was blowing on the mountain in the hot summer, which made the two of them very comfortable.
Behind them were several wild boars, goats and roe deer, and there were countless hares and pheasants on the ground.
Today is a good day for the reunion of the Cui brothers and sisters, and yesterday was a good day for the reunion of Chen Dayou and the Cui couple.
There must be a big celebration.
The village chief is still so excited that his hands are shaking.
I can't even believe it in my dreams.
Dayou's daughter-in-law turned out to be the biological sister of a high-ranking official in the capital.
Even the prefect and county magistrates came to visit him, which shows his high status.
Yesterday, Chen Meng said in front of so many people that Cui's origins were unknown. Today, his brother came to visit him, which was a level they did not dare to reach.
The slap in the face came so quickly.
There is also that stalking man-in-law. I don’t know how she felt after hearing this.
The chatter and laughter of the crowd gradually came closer, and Lao Hu climbed up the mountain with a group of guards.
Turning around the foot of the mountain, the guards were stunned as they looked at the wild boars, roe deer and gazelles in front of them, as well as the hares and pheasants on the ground.
He looked up at the village chief and Jiabao'er, then looked around suspiciously to see if there was anyone else.
How did this get down the mountain?
