Chapter 217: Colleagues in the Family
The renovation of the old village of Ranch Village is progressing very quickly, and the two big heads who hold the old houses in the village, Wang Yunda and Gao Yu, do not make trouble, but some other details are not difficult at all. Therefore, in the half month of Gao Jun's absence, the transformation of the old village changed day by day, the old houses were demolished, and the new houses were raised on the ground.
Usually Gao Yu doesn't show up, only Wang Yunda's deputy pastoral supervisor is waiting for him to drive in front of the saddle, and Wang Yunda will come again, almost letting him treat him as a talent.
As soon as the business was clear, Don't drive Lord Li often thought of his daughter, and always wanted to find a way to go to his daughter's house to have a look. It's just that Gao Jun has not been at home for half a month, he has been suppressing his feelings for his daughter, and today he saw that the new governor of the West, Shi Gaoxian, went to his son's house, Lord Li thought about it, isn't this a ready-made opportunity!
From a business point of view, he is a don't drive, he is a long history, how can he not meet when he arrives in one place? It also appears to be amiable to colleagues; Privately, if the two are also in-laws, then they should go and see each other.
Although his grade and position are higher than those of the Gaoshen Bank, once the Gaoshen Bank has been serving in Beijing for many years, which of the feudal officials who went to Beijing to do business in those places was not polite when they saw him? Therefore, the Gao Xianxing has long developed the style of being a superior official in Beijing, and when he first came to Xizhou, he only came over with a few words of greetings when he saw another driver.
Fortunately, Li Beijia didn't care about these mundane things with his in-laws, so he came uninvited. Just as soon as he saw Gao Jun's door, he saw his beloved daughter running out with Cui Yan and Siqing.
As soon as Li Wanqing saw her father, she whispered to him, "Let's come when we go, Dad, you go in first to help Gao Jun." Don't know what her daughter means by this, while thinking that she doesn't know who is close to Gao Jun's father and father-in-law, she shook her head and entered the yard.
Gao Xianxing had already set up his identity at this time, and when he heard that he was not driving, he hurriedly greeted Gao Jun and his son, and the three of them met in the courtyard, and then returned to the hall together. Liu Yuru saw that today was really lively, and was busy with Xie Jinlian, beckoning her mother-in-law to prepare lunch, and letting the old man drink.
After a while, the banquet was set up, and Cui Yan, Li Wanqing, and Siqing had already returned. Where did they go to pick mulberries, they obviously hid out and went around, and came back when they arrived at the gate of Liuzhong Ranch.
Gao Jun invited the two to sit down, and there was a large table in the living room. According to the normal rules, the daughters-in-law are not allowed to sit at the same table with these people, but the high judge once again made a mistake.
He thought that he would never meet his daughter and should have a meal together, so he preemptively said, "Don't drive and don't be outsiders, so let's not be polite." Besides, it's just the three of us, and the dishes on this big table are not coordinated, so you can eat together. ”
He didn't feel inappropriate with his mind, the two of them had the same thoughts, but they didn't think about his daughter Li Wanqing. Liu Yuru and the others thanked each other and took their seats.
Gao Changshi and Li Beijia sat on the left and right in the right position, and Gao Jun sat down opposite the two. Changshi was about to beckon Cui Yan to sit beside him, but before he could say anything, he saw that Cui Yan was already sitting next to Gao Jun, so it was inconvenient to call her again.
And Li Wanqing also sat down next to Gao Jun on the other side, Cui Yan's right was Liu Yuru, Liu Yuru's right was Xie Jinlian, and Xie Jinlian was next to Gao Xianxing. On Li Wanqing's left are Fan Ying and Siqing, and Siqing is next to Li Beijia. After Tian Tian came back, she asked her mother-in-law to take her to eat, and a family of nine people filled a small square table.
Gao Jun wanted to raise his glass and say something first, but Bei Jia and Changshi were both there, as if he was not the eldest in the family now, and he really didn't know where to start, so he didn't squeak and waited for them to say.
In the end, it was Li Xianyu who raised his glass to the Gao Shen Xing, "Gao Daren is happy to be promoted, to the position of Governor of Xizhou, from now on you and I are both in-laws and colleagues, and there is more reason to take care of each other and jointly help Guo Du supervise the affairs of Xizhou. ”
Liu Yuru listened to it on the side, couldn't help but laugh, and didn't think that Lord Don't drive here would call himself a subordinate official in the face of Changshi, so he listened to the high trial line and saluted, "Where is it, Lord Li abandoned the prosperous place of Yangzhou and went to Xizhou, which really made the lower officials feel admired, and the trial also saluted Lord Li."
Then the two of them talked back and forth, you respect me, I respect you, and in a blink of an eye, one person and three cups went in. But Gao Jun didn't have anyone to care about here, and the glass of wine didn't move.
Liu Yuru and these people have already seen the doorway, and if they want to pull Gao Jun to drink, the atmosphere will not be cold, but none of them can ignore the two elders, there must be a sequence. Therefore, these women first saluted Gao Xianxing and Li Xianyu one by one, and then pulled Gao Jun to drink.
Gao Xianxing took the wine glass in his hand, and finally thought of his son. He saw his daughter Cui Yan and his daughter Li Wanqing, who was not driving, busy picking vegetables for Gao Jun left and right, and the two women almost had to lean into Gao Jun's arms unconsciously, and he was a little unhappy if no one was whispering to Gao Jun while picking vegetables.
Li Beijia was very relieved to see his daughter's happy face, but Gao Xianxing saw that his son didn't know how to be polite, and he only cared about making out with his wives when he became an elder, so he really didn't talk about the rules at all.
He raised his glass and didn't drink it, and said to Gao Jun, "I heard you say that the Poplar Ranch has just been built, and those people under him are old?" But when I see you, I already know a lot! The Poplar River is far away from Xizhou, and there are many unknowns! Don't let down the high expectations of His Majesty the Emperor and Lord Guo...... It is only right to think more about the right things and less about the love of children! ”
Gao Jun's mouth moved, but he didn't say anything, he just straightened up in the seat.
Li Beijia said, "Master Gao has a good way to teach his son, otherwise how could Gao Jun have such a big promotion, he is now the chief pastor of the Tang Tianshan Mu, and he is of the same grade as me, an elderly donkey!" ”
Don't say this, it took a while for the high trial to come back to me, thinking that he had just been promoted to the next level, and he was finally one level higher than his son. In this way, among the three men here, he still has the lowest rank, and he still has a lot of words to teach Gao Jun a lesson, so just give up thinking about it.
Seeing that Liu Yuru and the person named Fan Ying, who were sandwiched between the six women, kept a low profile during the banquet, thinking that as long as these two women were honest, then their daughter would not suffer anything. So he was happy again and had a few more drinks with Li Beijia.
At this time, Gao Yu hurried to meet the fifth uncle, and said that he was guilty of being late, and he inevitably toasted several more glasses, and pulled the other driver to drink together. When the meal was finished, both adults were a little dizzy and were allowed to rest in the guest room next to the living room.
Gao Yu whispered to his brother, "I see that your good days are coming to an end, I'm afraid that the two generals have the intention of taking root in the ranch village, what are you going to do?" ”
Gao Jun had already made up his mind, and snorted lightly, "No one wants to fight me!" ”
After sending Gao Yu away, Master Gao stood in the living room and shouted loudly, "Cui Yan, Wanqing, come to my brother's house to sleep at noon, I miss you these days!" ”
Li Beijia was already on the pillow in the guest room, Gao Xianxing vaguely heard Gao Jun arguing in the living room, and said in his heart, as soon as he said him, he shouted from the courtyard to the hall, who is this kid's temper? dared to be so presumptuous in front of his father-in-law.
