In front of the Governor's Palace, waiting for the battle, the carriage had stopped in front of the mansion, and the guards were lined up in front of the mansion gate, although Chu Huan signaled everyone not to draw their swords, but everyone's hands were still pressed on the hilt.

The carriage stopped, and a few horses came up from behind, and they rolled off the horseback one after another, Chu Huan saw clearly at this time, the first person was none other than Su Zhongyan, the seventh elder of the Su family.

Behind Su Zhongyan, followed by several people in brocade clothes, all of whom were about thirty or forty years old, in terms of age, Su Zhongyan should be the oldest, Chu Huan saw Su Zhongyan coming over with a group of people, a little strange, but saw that Su Zhongyan had already walked quickly to the side of the carriage, opened the carriage door, stretched out his hand to help out a person from inside, and saw the person, Chu Huan raised his eyebrows, stepped forward quickly, and had already arched his hand and said: "Old lady, why are you here?" He instantly saw that it was the head of the Su family, Mrs. Su, who got off the horse.

Old lady Su got out of the carriage, someone next to him handed a deer-headed cane, the old lady took it, pestle on the ground, saw Chu Huan who greeted him, the old man's face was already smiling, and said: "Lord Chu, you came to Shuoquan, the little old man couldn't meet him from afar, you can't blame ......!" ”

Chu Huan looked calm and calm before, but he was not in a good mood, and when he saw the old lady at this time, his mood suddenly relaxed a lot, and he stepped forward and arched his hand: "The old lady is above, and the junior has saluted you......!" He and Linlang have made a private agreement for life, although there is no name of husband and wife for the time being, but there is already a husband and wife, and the heart is also made up, must not live up to Linlang, and finally marry Linlang through the door, Mrs. Su is Linlang's grandparents, Linlang is his own woman, then this old lady can be regarded as his grandparents, and he should be seen as a younger generation.

Seeing Chu Huan's salute, the old lady had already stretched out a hand to hold Chu Huan's arm, and said with a smile: "Don't be like this, Lord Chu, you are too polite......!" ”

Chu Huan immediately said solemnly: "Master, the younger generation is by no means polite, you are Linlang's grandfather, that is also the grandfather of the younger generation, see grandfather, of course......!" ”

The old lady showed a pleased smile on her face and said, "Even so, I, an old man, can really accept a gift from you." ”

When Chu Huan heard this, his heart suddenly burst with joy again.

Although his personal relationship with Linlang is a fait accompli, and it is life and death, Chu Huan also knows that the old lady must know his affection, but he is not sure that the Su family can accept it.

Linlang's father entered the customs from the northwest and set up another portal, but he did not draw a clear line with the clan, let alone sever the relationship between the clan, so in terms of genealogy, Linlang's line still belongs to the Su family in the northwest.

Although the Su family suffered, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, the Su family also has a large area of land and many shops in Xiguan, as long as they get help, over time, but they can also slowly recover their vitality, the Su family is in Xiguan seven surnames, ranking first, that is Xiguan first-class gentry family, but where such a family, there will be a lot of exquisiteness, that is, the door style that ordinary people say.

Chu Huan used to have concerns, Linlang is a member of the Su family, the Su family is a big family, if the time comes to marry Linlang, will the Su family become a big obstacle, no matter what, Linlang will remarry, there will always be some people who say irresponsible things, if the Su family takes care of the door style and obstructs everywhere, although Chu Huan will not be afraid, but it is inevitable that there will be some trouble.

He just called the old lady his grandparents, in addition to showing respect, he also had a tentative mind, the old lady is naturally a shrewd person, obviously understood the meaning of Chu Huan's words, he was not polite, but bluntly said that he could accept Chu Huan's courtesy, the meaning of these words is equivalent to accepting the relationship between Chu Huan and Linlang, which is naturally a great joy for Chu Huan.

Chu Huan was overjoyed, and bowed deeply to the old lady at the moment, but at this time, it was Xuanyuan Shengcai's cadre and a large number of people behind the old lady who looked at each other, most people didn't know the reason, and they didn't understand why a feudal official actually saluted an old gentleman, which seemed to be respectful.

After making a salute, the old lady stopped him, and then said to Chu Huan: "These are all a little bit of everyone's thoughts, I know that you have just arrived, and many things have not been prepared, so we have roughly prepared some ...... for the things we need in the house!" ”

At this time, a person had already stepped forward next to him, and smiled at Chu Huan: "Lord Chu, do you remember Xiao Lao?" ”

"Uncle Qian, why are you here too?" Chu Huan immediately recognized that the old man in front of him, who was about fifty years old, was the head of the Qian family, one of the seven surnames in Xiguan, and his name was Qian Boyi.

The Qian family also suffered, Xiguan fell, Qian Boyi took the Qian clan into the pass, once with the Su family, tasted the hardships and warmth, and later Linlang inquired about the whereabouts of the old lady, personally brought the Su family's troubled clansmen from Tongzhou to Yunshan, and it was the Qian family who fell with the Su family at that time also received Yunshan and contained it.

When Chu Huan was in Yunshan, he also had contact with the head of the Qian family, and knew that the relationship between the two families of Qian and Su was very close.

Qian Boyi had already said with a smile: "We found out early in the morning that Lord Chu was going to come to Yuezhou to take office, so everyone prepared some things, and asked the adults to laugh." ”

At this time, there were already many people next to him who were bowing their hands to Chu Huan, and Chu Huan actually knew very well in his heart that most of these people were from the Xiguan Seven surnames, or had a relationship with the Xiguan Seven surnames.

"Old lady, Uncle Qian, and all of you, you are so polite." Chu Huan sighed with emotion, when he was in Yunshan, he had contact with the seven surnames of Xiguan by chance, and helped them, at that time, it was not because he had any feelings for the seven surnames of Xiguan, the main reason was for Linlang, and secondly, he also hated the group of people from the heart, and did not want the group of people to succeed, but in the end, he benefited a lot from it, and when he first came to Xiguan, he had already received the help of the seven surnames of Xiguan, "You have just returned to Xiguan not long ago, and now you are still recovering, and you are not rich, these things ...... I can't take it! ”

The old lady shook his head and said: "If you don't accept it, everyone will feel uncomfortable, and the seven surnames of Xiguan can have a chance to make a comeback, all thanks to the ...... given by the adults!" He couldn't help but say, raised his hand and ordered: "Zhongyan, Zhongshi, let everyone send things in, all arranged, if the mansion can't be cleaned up tonight, everyone won't sleep...... ”

Qian Boyi also immediately asked people to move, Chu Huan saw that the old lady was resolute and helpless, but he heard that the old lady had already said: "My lord, you don't have to worry about someone chewing the root of your tongue behind your back, the things we sent, there is no gold and silver, no jewelry, only tables and chairs, screens, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and some rice and noodles and dry food, since you call me grandfather, these things are some turnover of your own family, and they can't be considered ......bribes!" ”

Chu Huan laughed, at this time, Su Zhongyan and the others had already begun to unload the car, Xuanyuan Shengcai and the others finally knew that the group of people who came tonight were friends and not enemies, so they breathed a sigh of relief, Xuanyuan Shengcai had already ordered everyone to help unload the goods, but Chu Huan had already invited Mrs. Su and a few others to enter the house and take a seat, and even personally supported Mrs. Su.

The Governor's Mansion suddenly became lively, the main hall of the Governor's Mansion has not been cleaned up for the time being, so Chu Huan can only take the old lady and others to the side hall, the side hall is not spacious, but it has been cleaned up very clean, Chu Huan helped the old lady to take a seat, in addition to the old lady, Qian Boyi, the head of the Qian family surnamed Xiguan, Hong Shengtao, the head of the Hong family, and Fu Yusheng, the head of the Fu family, were also invited to the side hall to sit down, and the subordinates also served tea.

"There are seven surnames in Xiguan, and four families are here today." The old lady also explained: "It's not that the other families haven't come, the Zhao family is in Jiazhou, they haven't had time to arrive, and the Chen family and the Shui family haven't returned to Xiguan yet, so the four of us will come over first today." ”

Chu Huan had already arched his hand and said: "The seniors are here, and the juniors are really happy. ”

Qian Boyi said with a smile: "My lord, although we are not as good as before, but the news is quite well-informed, everyone knows that it is you who advised the court to give the Xiguan gentry the time to raise food, which gives us enough time to prepare, if it were not for the adult, now the industry under our name has already been occupied by people with ulterior motives, and the so-called Xiguan Seven surnames will no longer exist." ”

"Exactly." Fu Yusheng said solemnly: "My lord is the great benefactor of our gentry in Xiguan, and we are really happy when we hear that my lord is coming to Xiguan to take up his post." ”

Chu Huan smiled and said, "Seniors are polite. In fact, I've been worried that you don't have enough time to raise food, after all, it's ......! He didn't go on.

The old lady had already stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Each family has indeed encountered a lot of trouble and paid a great price when raising food, but no matter what, we represent the scholar clan of Xiguan, even if it is hard, it will be to survive." ”

"There are so many big households." Qian Boyi sighed: "It is said that the treasury of the imperial court is insufficient, but the warehouses of the gentry and wealthy merchants are full, let's talk about it, and give great benefits, just as the adults said to us at the beginning, as long as a few can borrow grain, others will compete to lend it first, and this is ......exactly the case!" ”

Hong Shengtao said: "The imperial court has levied grain several times, and those big households are actually very clear in their hearts, the grain is in the warehouse, and if the imperial court is really short of food, it will always stretch its hand to them...... When the grain is lent, we sign a book with them, borrow one and repay three, and use the title deed as collateral, which is better than their grain rotting in the warehouse......! ”

"Seniors, today in the North Lookout, I saw the high price of the North Mountain." Chu Huan frowned and said, "I heard that Gao Lian is now the president of the Yuezhou Chamber of Commerce, this is ...... It really makes me a little confused, with the four of you sitting in Yuezhou, how could the position of the president of the Chamber of Commerce be taken by a Beishan gentry? ”

The faces of several people present changed slightly, but the old lady still remained calm, stroked his beard and said: "My lord, we are already clear about today's incident in Beiwanglou...... Someone is giving the adults a horse, I don't know what the adults think? ”
