The ancestor of the Sun family was the city guard of Hancheng and was stationed in Hancheng for many years, and later became a relative in the local area and took root.

And the Li family is barely a scholarly family, some of their ancestors have been county magistrates, and now there is an old man in the family, a young talent, so he also has a certain influence.

Speaking of which, these are just so-so.

In fact, it's not surprising that a really powerful person, who would live in a shabby place like a cold city?

"These people are treating, shouldn't they have set up a Hongmen banquet?" Master Ji joked.

Because in addition to local celebrities, the people who went to the banquet also had a master book.

Everyone laughed.

Xu Jiaojiao and the other three daughters were all present, they all ate breakfast together, drank millet salty porridge, chewed toad spit honey (a kind of bean paste flatbread), and finally had the feeling of settling down.

The house is almost cleaned up, and the details have to be taken slowly, so there is no hurry.

What matters now is that Liao Qing has to deal with the opponent here.

The Hongmen banquet should not be enough, this leader is the money slam, which is a bit interesting.

According to common sense, the local squire's banquet for the county lord should be invited on the day the county lord first came, more precisely, when the county magistrate's feet just landed, they would be invited, which is called a horse banquet. But under the influence of the master bookkeeper, no one mentioned it.

It's the third day, and it's been brought up instead.

If you want to say that it has nothing to do with the main book, everyone doesn't believe it.

The time of the invitation is tomorrow morning, which happens to be the last time period of Liao Qing's three-day order. Or is it a showdown?

Mo'er and Sanya are still young, and it's not their turn to intervene in this kind of thing.

Although Xu Jiaojiao is also a woman, she has always been convincing, and she first asked a forward-looking question: "Can we also go to this treat?" Don't know if the food here is good? ”

Liao Qing smiled at the corner of his mouth, "How can there be a treat that only invites me alone, isn't it too rude, it's all family members, everyone can go." ”

Yu Bantou was a little worried, "That Qian Manslam is different from Zhang Zhu's book, Zhang's main book is Pi Li Yangqiu, but Qian Mangong is an arrogant person, and if he is a little worried, he will embarrass adults." ”

Sometimes, face is more important than anything else.

Especially Liao Qing's identity, if he loses face on such an occasion, he will inevitably not be able to raise his head in front of the nobles of the cold city, and don't think about toppling Master Zhang in the future.

Liao Qing's smile did not change, "Arrogant? It may have been that he had been too lucky. ”

Xu Jiaojiao drank a mouthful of porridge, "Is he arrogant at home?" ”

Master Ji smiled, "How can it be compared, one is a toad, and the other is a giant sin, which cannot be compared." ”

The Yu family is actually not arrogant on the surface, at least in front of the officials, but what they do behind their backs, no matter what kind of crazy man can't compare, they are gambling on the future of the country.

Several people didn't take this banquet seriously, and Yu Bantou wondered in his heart, not knowing where their confidence came from, but it was not good to say much.

After Xu Jiaojiao finished eating, she went to write a letter home with Erya.

It's been a few days, and I'm busy going to the ground, I'm afraid that Xu Zhang's family at home will be worried, so the two of them wrote a letter home.

Erya can now read ordinary characters, and it is no problem to write a letter home.

She set them for Xu Lao Er and Yuan Chunhua, Xu Jiaojiao wrote for Xu Youde and Xu Zhang, and Xu Lao Wu wrote them, and after they finished writing, they went to send them together.

……

***

Xujia Village.

The business of the winery has been very good, and as soon as spring begins, all kinds of orders come in one after another.

The plan of the year lies in the spring, and everything begins again.

The old Xu family is also going to plan to plant in the spring, and the work of the winery has entered the formal, there is no need for Xu Youde to worry, he has planted a field all his life, although his legs and feet are inconvenient, he is also busy with the whole thing, and he can still speak and command.

Xu Youde was in a wheelchair and checked the farm tools in the backyard with Xu Laosi, the pigs were not fed, the pigsty was cleaned out, and it was repaired, but they were all empty, and they were going to be used as warehouses after clearing the smell.

Now there are farm tools in a place, and the old Xu family is now a veritable landlord, with hundreds of acres of fields, and there are a lot of farm tools needed.

All kinds of plows, rakes, shovels, hoes, hammers, ropes, burdens, rakes, etc......

Xu Zhang's pulled a handful of leeks, came in from the backyard, today plans to pack more buns, steam some steamed buns, tomorrow will ask the manual to go to the field to do the work, this busy season, cooking in order to save time, eat steamed buns and hunger, people like it.

"Old man, did you say that Jiaojiao and them have arrived in the cold city? Is this in office? There is no carrier pigeon or anything in the cold city, it is not like it is in the capital, and it is convenient to bring a letter back......"

Yuan Chunhua came back from washing clothes by the river, and heard that Xu Jiaojiao and them, in the open space in the backyard, deliberately dried their clothes slowly, and listened quietly, her second girl followed her aunt, and now there is no news, she is also very worried in her heart, but she doesn't dare to ask, this caught Xu Zhang's talk, she pricked up her ears to listen.

Xu Youde put down the hoe in his hand and looked up to Xu Zhang's words, "Let's Jiaojiao and Liao Qing are traveling lightly, their speed is fast, I guess it should have arrived, even if it didn't arrive, it should be fast, right, fourth?" ”

The scar on Xu Laosi's face is still as hideous as ever.

He nodded and said, "That's right, Dad, after passing through Bingyang City, and then going north is Cold City, we have taken our old sister to Bingyang City before, so we won't go to the wrong place......"

When it comes to Bingyang City, Xu Zhang's is a belly of fire.

"You bastard, you are embarrassed to mention Bingyang City, you and your talented brother were as black as charcoal ash at that time, staring at your sister to earn a little money, digging into death, it's really not human! You don't have a good heart, and Xu Dalang's eight lambs......"

Xu Laosi was so scolded that he couldn't raise his head.

I could only be silent.

Xu Youde coughed, "Okay, don't scold, the fourth child now knows that he is wrong, he is a person, the hundreds of acres of land in the family are all in charge of the fourth child, he has not done any heavy work when he was a child, and now he doesn't pick heavy work, and he doesn't pick heavy work, and people have less words, know that they are wrong, don't scold to death......"

Xu Zhang scolded Boss Xu again, "Boss, that Wang Balamb, a dog with a black conscience, ......"

Xu Youde sighed even more, "The eldest family and his wife are separated, the eldest girl is gone, the eldest is afraid that he will not be there, and the eldest man does not know whether he is alive or dead, they have also got the end they deserve, how many sins are in the past, people die greatly, old woman, don't talk about it." ”

When it comes to the eldest family, no matter how good Xu Youde's mood is, he can be depressed.

It was always a thorn in his heart!

Xu Zhangshi was stupid, "If you do bad things, you will be poked in the back when you go to hell, why can't you be scolded?" ”
