In the afternoon, Yan Zi, who had not been to Qiao's Mansion since returning to Yancheng, finally reappeared, and when she saw Yan Zi's good trees, she was also relieved: "Brother Yan Zi is also here to congratulate." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Yan Zi's guard smiled: "Congratulations to Miss Qiao, the trick is shining in Yancheng." ”

In Qiao Mu's heart, Yan Zi is the same as his own people, and he can speak very casually: "I am just a layman, Brother Yan Zi should congratulate Qiao Fu on his promotion and fortune." ”

Yan Zi is an honest person, I don't know how to open my mouth for Qiao Mu's joke, Miss Qiao is such an easy-going person, she has always been very relaxed around Miss Qiao.

Qiao Mu: "Brother Yanzi is a busy person, I can't see you when I'm not in Yancheng, why don't you go back to Yancheng and can't see anyone all day long." The young city lord is too ruthless in employing people, and if he wants the horses to run, he has to give the horses some food. ”

Yan Zi: "I've been really busy lately, not to mention me, even the young city lord hasn't rested much, everyone is working hard." Yan Zi doesn't treat Miss Qiao as an outsider, to put it outside the box, Miss Qiao was used to being casual when she was on the mountain, after all, this is Yancheng, she can't be so casual, and the young city lord is not that kind of person. ”

Yan Zi was a little cramped when she spoke: "It's Yan Zi who is too troublesome, and Miss Qiao is only Yan Zi too talkative." ”

Qiao Mu: "What Brother Yan Zi said is not right, it doesn't matter to someone, can Brother Yan Zi persuade him like this, Qiao Mu is not a person who doesn't know what to do." That's what I said in front of Big Brother Swallow. Brother Swallow rest assured, Qiao Mu knows the severity. ”

Yan Zi: "That's good, Miss Qiao has a good idea in her heart, after all, Miss Qiao came to Yancheng with the young city lord, so she should get along well with the young city lord." Speaking of which, Yan Zi not only came to congratulate her, but also said goodbye to Miss Qiao by the way. "I probably felt that what I said was a bit redundant, so I changed the topic very bluntly.

Qiao Mu was a little entangled: "Didn't you just come back, why did you quit again." The weather is getting colder and colder, and it's freezing everywhere, so why go out at this time. ”

Yan Zi: "The young city lord can trust Yan Zi, and he handed over the Zhuangzi to Yan Zi to manage, and Yan Zi is also the patrol position of the outer city, how can he always be in Yancheng." If it weren't for the city lord returning to Yancheng, the young city lord's side was tight, and Yan Zi would have set off a long time ago. But Miss Qiao rest assured, the road to Zhuangzi has been built, and it is no longer the road when we left Zhuangzi. This time, Yan Zi also escorted the grain truck back. ”

Qiao Mu: "The young city lord brought all the grain from Zhuangzi to Yancheng. ”

Yan Zi: "Yes, only the rice seeds for the next year were left on the Zhuangzi, and the rest of the rice was shipped to Yancheng." Yan Zi was in a hurry to go back, also in order not to delay the spring sowing of the coming year. ”

Qiao Mu asked casually: "Is Zhuangzi okay, how is the autumn harvest?" The road has been built, can Zhuangzi still be hidden? ”

Yan Zi: "Everything is fine in Zhuangzi. The young city lord has made proper arrangements, and Miss Qiao can rest assured. ”

Knowing that Yan Zi was definitely leaving, Qiao Mu said a lot of words in a rambling manner.

Separation always makes people lose, there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, and you can't delay the future of Yanzi's guards for yourself.

After Yan Zi said goodbye, Qiao Mu ordered that it was too expensive, so he asked the mother-in-law in the stove room to prepare more dry food for the road, and also got a lot of beef jerky from his small warehouse and asked people to pack it and send it to Yan Zi's guards.

No matter what, the loss is like that.

The next day, the Yanzi guards hurriedly left early in the morning and took office.

Qiao Mu ran to see Yan Zi off early in the morning, but he didn't catch up. Qiao Mu secretly scolded Yanyang, the landlord and old man, and he was too ruthless in employing people, so he was busy, and he even made people rush in the middle of the night.

Looking at the camping equipment in his hand, Qiao Mu could only bring it back to Qiao's Mansion in defeat. Regrets are not without them. Qiao Mu knows that the feelings between people come from getting along, even if the relationship is deep, she can't stand the time and distance, so if she goes on like this, she is afraid that she will become more and more alienated with Yan Zi's guards, this is her first friend here.

After receiving the congratulatory gifts from others, he was going to prepare a banquet, Steward Qiao was a capable person, Qiao Mu's invitation was sent out, and the next day Steward Qiao prepared everything, and Qiao's house began to feast guests.

For the sake of safety, Qiao Mu asked people to clean up in the courtyard where they lived last year, and the female guests received them here, so as not to make the heating facilities in his small building too dazzling.

The male guests are all in the living room of the outer courtyard, where there is nothing to avoid when it comes to receiving guests. The other yards are locked, and the people in the province are multi-eyed and eye-catching. The leader also deliberately transferred all the manpower to rearrange the nursing home. Qiao Mu sighed at the benefits of having more people.

There is no man in charge of Qiao's house, Qiao Mu thought that he had the name of a young city lord, and when he entertained guests, he would go to the hall to show his face and say a word, and no one would pick on him.

Besides, she is not afraid of provocativeness, her positioning for Qiao Fu is that she is a technical talent, relying on her ability to stand on her feet, and not mixing with any political affairs. If it weren't for the fear of rudeness, Qiao Mu would have asked people to return the congratulatory gift.

Qiao Mu is not sure whether to invite Miss Yan San and Yan Shao City Lord when he is a guest at the banquet, he always asks his family to support himself Qiao Mu can't get over it, and according to his own five-grade idle official position, the identity of the young city lord and Miss Yan Shao's mansion is really not suitable for his own banquet.

Otherwise, I will go back and invite you in Shan, anyway, these two are not outsiders, and they will not pick their own reasons, so that Qiao Mu will be relaxed, on the day of the banquet, she only needs to entertain Mrs. Li as a female guest.

For the food of the female guests, Qiao Mu instructed the mother-in-law of the stove to prepare more easy to restrain them.

When it came to the day of the banquet, Qiao Mu knew that he was wrong, but he didn't expect that these big people were calculating, and few of them went to the meeting alone.

Mrs. Li came with her little granddaughter, and the little girl Qiao Mu had seen her, and she had a good temperament and was likable.

Master Fu brought his sister-in-law, Miss Jingjing, here, and after this came, he regarded himself as half a master, and he has been helping to greet guests by Qiao Mu's side.

Let Qiao Mu describe it, she is not a master who is conscientious, warm and thoughtful. I don't know if this young lady knows that the city lord of Yan Shao will not come, whether she is still in such a mood.

What Qiao Mu didn't expect was that even General Xiao Li also came with Miss Whispering.

Seeing this cousin of Yan Shaocheng Lord, the prospective fiancée, Qiao Mu felt a little weak-hearted, although she was not voluntary, but in the end, Miss Jingjing, the quasi-junior, had contact with Yan Yang, an unlucky child, in her Qiao Mansion. I inadvertently did something pimping, and I didn't feel like I could straighten up in front of Miss Whispering.

Or don't say that people can't do bad things.

Qiao Mu was a little dazzling with enthusiasm: "Miss Whispering can come, Qiao Mu is so happy." ”

Miss Jingjing said with a smile on the side: "Sister Qiao has been looking forward to Sister Whispering for a long time, Sister Whispering, don't be polite, I'll take you to sit with the female dependent." ”

Qiao Mu touched her nose, she had never said this. But on this occasion, she can't argue her innocence.

Miss Whispering's noble girl education is still very homely, and the people just nodded indifferently and gently: "Miss Fu, please." "It's worthy of being someone else's main room, looking at the person's bearing, I don't take Miss Jingjing in my eyes at all.

Qiao Mu blushed for this Miss Jingjing, jumping off the beam like a clown.

Qiao Mu automatically took two steps back, she and these two were not all the way, their fight was not on the same side as her Qiao Mu, and they couldn't wade into troubled waters.

Miss Jingjing's combat power in front of Miss Whispering rose up: "Sister Whispering is polite, why are the three of us sisters so unfamiliar." ”

Qiao Muxin said that this person is really good enough to be a big woman, but it's a little early. And when you say this in front of other people's prospective fiancées, how much do you want to seize power in the backyard?

Look at how reserved the whispering lady is. The key is that she Qiao Mu is not the same as them, Qiao Mu: "Ahem, Miss Whispering, you're welcome, I am fortunate to have the eldest sister of the Fu family here to help greet enthusiastically, and the guests are almost here, I can greet them myself, the eldest sister of the Fu family is close to Miss Whispering, you two sisters talk together, there are still guests here in Qiaomu, I am neglected." ”

After saying that, he ran away in a hurry, just like a ghost chasing after him, so don't call you sisters. I'm unlucky.

Miss Whispering looked at Miss Jingjing with a smile: "The eldest sister of the Fu family, Miss Qiao is really down-to-earth." After speaking, he went to the plum garden by himself, and he didn't even glance at Miss Jingjing.

It seems that she knows that this Miss Fu is jumping up and down, and people don't pay attention to her at all.

Miss Jingjing is also well-cultivated, so she can adjust her mentality under such circumstances and continue to work as half a master in Qiao's Mansion.

By the time Qiao Mu saw Young Master Sun coming with his nieces and nephews, he was basically not surprised.

The heart said that Qiaofu was alone, and he would suffer a loss when he went back to the ceremony, and there was no one to bring when he ate the banquet noodles, so no matter how he looked at it, he would lose money. Let people take Miss Sun to the plum garden and continue to greet guests here, this work is enough to do arbor once.

It is the noble sons who came from the Great Jin Dynasty who came with people, although they are not female dependents, but people also know that they can't give gifts in vain, and they have to eat back. It turned out to be a friend who came to his Qiao Mansion, this is to eat a big family.

The only consolation is that Qin Jiu followed Qin Qi, and Qiao Mu finally met his best friend's fiancé in a bright way. smiled and greeted this ninth son of the Qin family, looked at it for his girlfriends, looked at it again and again, and didn't want it if he was satisfied. It made the brothers of the Qin family sweat in both heads. This young master Qiao didn't have a crush on his brother.

Qin Qi had no choice but to speak: "Speaking of which, my brother is not an outsider, but he is a coquettish guest of Yancheng." ”

Qiao Mu stared at Qin Jiu and nodded: "I know, Third Miss's fiancé, you are very welcome to come to Qiao's Mansion." ”

The two brothers breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that you are still staring at people like this, is it really good.

When carrying the arbor on his back, Qin Qi also stared at Qin Jiu, "What is there to see on your face?" ”

Qin Jiu's face darkened: "Don't talk nonsense." ”

Qin Qi: "It's not nonsense, if I knew what this woman was looking at, I would be able to marry someone back directly." ”

The topic is not coordinated, and the two brothers are not in a good mood.

In the banquet parlor in the outer courtyard, Qiao Mu's cheeks were about to stiffen, but fortunately, the guests had already come.

Qiao Mu politely explained to the male guests that there is no man in the house, only she is a woman, and the inner courtyard still has to entertain female guests. Of course, I didn't forget to welcome you all along.

When I arrived in the inner courtyard and saw the female dependents, this scene, Qiao Mu was glad that his family was too expensive and prescient, fortunately, he listened to the words that were too expensive, and the banquets on both sides of the men and women were prepared according to the same standards, but the female guests had more food that was easy to restrain themselves, which was also specially prepared for Mrs. Li, showing Qiao Mu's friendly attitude towards Mrs. Li.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll lose the adult.

Of course, seeing Miss Jingjing of the Fu family, the scene of greeting guests from all sides still made Qiao Mu not very calm.

When you meet the best, you still can't get rid of it.

Qiao Mu: "Thank you for coming, there are no elders around Qiao Mu, the first time to feast guests, forgive me for the places where you are not well entertained." ”

Mrs. Li: "Miss Qiao is polite, it's very good, the scenery here is very good, especially these pots of flowers, as well as the green and faint shallots, really opened my eyes as an old woman." ”

Qiao Muxin said that they were all prepared according to the preferences of the elderly, can the old lady not like it. Originally, I thought that I would only entertain this Mrs. Li herself: "It's good to please the old lady, this time Qiao Mu can be regarded as relieved, but I am afraid that the arrangement is not good, and the old lady will not be blue-eyed, and I will not come to Qiao's Mansion next time." ”

Although Mrs. Li's status is not high here, she has the largest seniority, and Qiao Mu has no pressure to flatter her elders, so she can only coax a child.

Old lady: "Miss Qiao is really good at talking, if you want to say that shallots and flowers are not rare, but they can bloom like this in this season, and such crisp shallots are rare, which makes my wife a little worried." ”

Qiao Mu: "What's so rare about this, if the old lady likes it, I'll ask the girl to send two pots to your house when I go back, don't dislike me for not being able to take this thing." ”

Mrs. Li: "That's okay. ”

Arbor responded briskly, and the excitement of an old and a novel can be regarded as a good start.

The girls on the side followed to eat and laugh, and Qiao Mu didn't know what they were laughing at, anyway, the banquet could continue, not cold, everyone knew that she was the host. I really don't want to see Miss Jingjing always brushing the hostess's lines.

Miss Jingjing: "Sister Qiao, isn't there a lot of strange things here, not only the old lady looks rare, but the young city lord is also very blue-eyed." Otherwise, why don't you see the young city lord go to other mansions. Even I've seen a lot of these strange things. ”

The scene is a little cold, and it's not good to mention this person at this time.

Qiao Mu first looked up at Miss Whispering, Miss Jingjing said this at this time, it definitely had the intention of sowing discord, and secondly, I am afraid that it also has the meaning of being shy, and there is a sense of being very close to the city lord of Yan Shao, Qiao Mu doesn't mind stepping on people a few times, but you can't use me, it's too annoying.

With a very surprised expression, he said: "Yes, the eldest sister of the Fu family also likes these rare things, turn around and let the girl send two pots to the eldest sister of the Fu family, speaking of which, I want to thank the eldest sister of the Fu family, during this time the arbor is in retreat, when the eldest sister came to the house, she was not able to entertain well, the eldest sister is a bright person, not with the arbor in general, today is thanks to the eldest sister of the Fu family to help the arbor greet you, the eldest sister of the Fu family which pot of things do you like, just talk to the arbor, do not have to be polite with the arbor." But it's the same, don't talk about the things that occupy anyone's light, it's not easy for a woman to support the façade of Qiao's mansion, the mechanism is a boring, time-taking thing, all year round Qiao Mu is in the courtyard to retreat and toss these objects, for the guests who come to the house really can't be greeted, even the young city lord is lazy, if it weren't for Miss Jingjing to mention it today, Qiao Mu didn't realize it, and when he turned around, Qiao Mu went to the Shaocheng Lord's Mansion to post, and apologized to the young city lord. ”

The central meaning is one, Yanyang just came to Qiao's Mansion, and she didn't know that Qiao Mu hadn't entertained her. Skimming is clean. I'm not just a random person. It's not the same as this Miss Jingjing rushing to label herself.

After speaking, he counted it down to the too expensive: "You too, although the trick is always necessary, but when you come, you should also talk to me, the young city lord has the grace of knowing our Qiao Mansion, how rude it is." "Together with the relationship between the Shaocheng Lord's Mansion and the Lord's Mansion, he made another statement.

Taigui calmly cooperated with his own young lady: "It's all the slaves and maids who did something wrong, and please punish the young lady." ”

Mrs. Li: "Hey, don't say that you are a woman, just say that it is hard for men to do this, my son has no great ability, and he goes out early and returns to work in the yamen all day long, isn't it not easy for you to do this as a little girl." Those achievements are not made by chatting with guests, they are all made by painstaking efforts and taking a lot of time to toss over and over again. Pity you for your age as flowery as a bone. ”

Sun's little girl is more emotional: "Behind the scenery is a lot of hard work, and it is even harder for Young Master Qiao to support the façade of Qiao's mansion alone." ”

Miss Whispering indifferently looked at Miss Jingjing, who was flushed and angry, pursed her lips and drank tea, she had never seen such a stupid person, who was in a hurry to serve as a stepping stone for others, and felt that she had taken a big advantage, so she forced herself to come to others, I really don't know what this Fu family plan is.

Miss Jingjing pursed her lips, although she was still smiling and groaning, everyone could see that this person was not in a good mood.

With Mrs. Li's words, the female guests began to start a topic around Qiao's technique, knowing that Qiao Mu spent most of his time on the technique, and they all understood that it was not easy for Qiao Mu, so it was no wonder that such a girl was boring and boring.

The topic is unfolded according to the meaning of the arbor, and his image is also formed in the hearts of the ladies according to his own mind, and the arbor is very satisfied, so it will develop slowly. I'm a tech nerd, I don't participate in your house fights, don't drag me down the road to my sisters.

Qiao Mu is satisfied with his own positioning and his image.
