Chapter 205: Father-in-law

After sending the excerpt out, Bai Zhixian was in a good mood, and as soon as he was happy, he quickly summoned the county and the chief bookkeeper and a cadre, and booked a private room in Liuyunxuan. After thinking about it, he called all the men in the Liqun Club again.

In this case, he really couldn't find any other fun than drinking and celebrating. Gu Xixi was pregnant, and he didn't dare to go out to play, so he could only do this. It's just that he himself is happy, but others may not be happy.

Before the change, everyone was naturally willing to participate, after all, this was a dinner organized by the magistrate. However, lately, they have been like this at every turn, and their wives have just returned from the capital, and it is when Xiao Biesheng is newly married, so they are a little tired.

And they also want to hear about the prosperity of the capital, especially the imperial palace.

But no matter how much I resisted, I basically went. For a while, dozens of people walked towards Liuyunxuan.

Boss Wang was really taken aback by this battle, and thought that he had committed something, otherwise why would he suddenly gather so many nobles from Qingshan County. Moreover, no matter which of these people is brought out alone, it is not something he dares to offend.

In the end, it was Bai Zhixian's personal servant who stepped forward and asked for a whole floor on the fourth floor, saying that no one else was allowed to disturb him, and that the county magistrate was happy, and all the dishes were served.

When Boss Wang heard this, he knew that this group of people had come to dine, and he was happy again. It seems that the silver earned from today's meal is at least enough for Liu Yunxuan to earn in a few days.

In order to establish an image, Bai Zhi County has been honestly paying money for his recent meals.

Those men of average status naturally knew that the reason why they had the opportunity to sit and eat with the most powerful people in the entire Qingshan County was because of the blessing of their mother-in-law.

So as soon as Bai Zhi County said the information that the emperor praised the wives, everyone toasted Bai Zhi County one after another, praising him for his good governance.

The well-informed person thought about it and said, "I heard that Chenjia Village is now built on a large scale, and even the emperor has noticed it." Speaking of which, adults really have the vision to build a poor village into such a state. Come, my lord, I will give you a drink. ”

I have to say that this fart is a slap on the itch, Bai Zhixian listened to it, and was even more happy, and said to this person: "You are right, this Chenjia Village was indeed quite poor before, and the official also racked his brains to have this idea." To tell you the truth, this place will be almost built in the next year, so you can follow me to see it and make some suggestions. This official wants to build it into the first village in the world. ”

This is a bit untrue, it is obviously the development of Chenjiacun itself, he just moved his mouth. It's good now, it's his credit. Fortunately, Ye Feng just wanted to help himself and others find relatives, while Chen Qianfan was just for fame, so he wouldn't and didn't dare to worry about him.

It's just that as soon as the words "the first village in the world" came out, everyone here had a bottom in their hearts, fortunately, they sent someone to buy a shop and put it there, and now it is almost decorated.

This is not only the performance of Bai Zhi County, but I am afraid that the emperor is also happy to see such a village appear.

But it's a good idea, and I don't think of it. Now it is really difficult to make unique achievements in the post, especially to make the emperor notice.

Unlike the spring breeze in Baizhi County, Gu Xixi has been very low-key recently, quietly raising a baby at home.

She has been very hard in this birth, and she has been suffering from morning sickness since she was pregnant, but the Qin family always forced her to eat, saying that if she didn't eat, the child in her belly would be hungry. I think it's because of her age, and I think that at the beginning, her first and second children didn't work so hard.

Oh no, it's actually the fourth child.

Thinking of this, Gu Xixi was a little disappointed.

It is said that pregnancy is sensitive, and this is really the most appropriate. She now always thinks of the white and tender child more than ten years ago.

Before this, she had thought that she had completely forgotten about it, this child. As Shopkeeper Ye went to look for children in other places, he also successfully put an end to this matter.

Who knows, she thinks of this child like this at the moment.

Seeing her like this, Qin asked a few times, but couldn't find an answer, so he asked Cuizhu and a few girls again, and then he thought of what happened more than ten years ago. Thinking of this, my heart is really not good.

Recently, Ye Feng, this kid, has become more and more closely connected with Baizhi County, and he is also here. It's all about the construction of Chenjia Village, but it's a serious matter, and she doesn't dare to do anything.

Thinking about it after taking 10,000 steps back, even if it was nothing serious, Ye Feng came to the county government to find Bai Zhi County, she really didn't dare to do anything. Not to mention that Master Gu warned her, just because Gu cherished her body, she didn't dare to act rashly.

If something goes wrong and Gu Xixi knows about it, it may be one corpse and two lives. She is very sensitive now, and she has no idea what to do with that little child, mother and son.

Throwing a rat bogey, Qin suddenly thought of this idiom.

Obviously, she was treating Ye Feng as a mouse.

However, it's not a matter of letting it go like this all the time. One day, things will be turned over, and then it will be irreparable. It's better to plan ahead and take the initiative into your own hands.

Therefore, for several days, the Qin family and Master Gu were muttering in the study, and they didn't know what they were discussing. When the two discussed, the maids were also sent down, not allowed to approach, very mysterious.

And so it went on for five days.

On the fifth day, the Qin family walked out with a tiger face and didn't say a word, but Master Gu felt like he was relieved, touched his beard and left. When the Qin family went out, Zhou's mother sent someone into the house to clean the house.

Recently, the cups and dishes at home have been sinned, and they can't live a day without being thrown by the Qin clan for a dozen a day. It seems that a new batch will have to be purchased. Otherwise, with Qin's wrestling method, eating would be a problem.

In fact, she could vaguely guess what was going on, but she couldn't guess how the Qin clan would deal with it. Especially Master Gu, this time he rarely participated, which shows that things are more complicated.

If it was just the Qin family, she would have burned paper for that kid a long time ago.

The Qin clan would not put his handle in anyone's hands at all, let alone allow things that would threaten him to exist obviously. It's just that now that Master Gu has also joined, the child's identity is so sensitive, so she can't guess what will happen at all.

However, she didn't wait long at all, but in just three days, an incident spread throughout the county government. Without him, Gu Xixi and Bai Zhixian wanted to accept Ye Feng as their righteous son.

When Zhou's mother heard this, she was first shocked, and then she really didn't know what to say. It's unbelievable that this thing has developed to this point. After thinking about it, Zhou's mother felt that this was what Master Gu meant, and his "stupid trick".

This method seems to be good, although there is an extra word "righteousness", but it not only solves Ye Feng's identity problem, but also solves the pain of lovesickness. It's just that there are still hidden dangers in the end.

After all, there are no impermeable walls under this sky.

However, Zhou's mother knew that it was good to recognize her righteous son. Anyway, Ye Feng and Gu Xixi didn't know about another amazing relationship with each other, so this hidden danger didn't exist, at least, for the time being.

At least, they can henceforth be called mother and son.

Of course, the Qin family has always done things well, and it is impossible for them to bring up this matter by themselves, but let Zhou's mother secretly meet the "loyal" little guy in Baizhi County.

The little guy said to Bai Zhixian on the second day: "My lord, after these years of observation, I think Ye Feng is the most scheming and has many wonderful ideas. According to Chen Qianfan, he still has many ideas for the construction of Chenjia Village, but they must be realized step by step. Therefore, the villain dared to propose to the adults that it was better to recognize this child as a righteous son. With this relationship, no matter where the adult goes in the future, it is also good to ask him for advice on some key issues. ”

These words can be regarded as going to the heart of Bai Zhi County.

He has always felt that Ye Feng is too weird, he actually knows so much at a young age, he is definitely a person who has a plan in his heart. In time, the other party will grow up, but he is an official in another place, but it is difficult to get in touch, at least he will not help as hard as this time.

He knows how deep the officialdom in the capital is, and the competition he will face in the future will only be more powerful, and it will be more difficult to climb up. If you can get Ye Feng's help, wouldn't it be like a tiger with wings.

And if you don't have this relationship, as soon as you leave, someone will always come to take office. When Ye Feng turns the limelight and helps others to be promoted, that is to set up more opponents for himself.

It's better to take advantage of this matter now to propose a confession, it won't seem abrupt, and the world will praise him for knowing his kindness, and Corporal Lixian will also have great benefits for his reputation.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhixian patted his thigh and said, "Okay, what you said is good, go and inform Mrs. to prepare." By the way, if you are loyal to the official, the official will naturally see it in his eyes. I went to the master to receive a hundred taels of silver, and rewarded myself, so I said that I said it. In this way, tomorrow there will be no time to serve, and there will be a day off. ”

The little guy thanked him with a thousand thanks, and then bowed and left. It's just that Bai Zhixian didn't see the contempt in his eyes, and if he did, he was afraid that he would vomit blood in anger.

Because the news itself was too shocking, even Ye Feng was confused after receiving the notice. If there were other things, he could have analyzed them, but the matter itself was sudden and unorganized, and it was really impossible to define.

Moreover, if the other party is really sincere, should he first ask him what he means? Yizi or something, he really didn't think about it.

But after thinking about it, in this time and space, maybe the other party felt that this kind of thing was definitely an extremely glorious thing for Ye Feng, so there was no need to ask for advice at all.

In their opinion, Ye Feng would not refuse, and there was no reason to refuse.

However, Ye and Chen Jixing were happy for him, and felt that with the father-in-law of Lord Zhixian, it would be much easier to find his father and mother in the future when he came to Ye Feng. And Ye Feng's life will be easier in the future, and I don't think there will be a few people who don't have long eyes who will come to cause trouble.

As for the other villagers, they were even more frightened, and their feelings were very complicated.

In the past, they thought that this child had a lot of ghost ideas, first took Chen Jixing's family to get rich, and now led the whole village on the road of common prosperity. And now, he has actually transformed into the righteous son of the magistrate.

In other words, they won't dare to offend Ye Feng in the future.

In this regard, Li Sanjin had a different opinion, and only heard her say to the villagers: "I think everyone is too worried." Although I have only been married to Chenjia Village for a year, Ye Feng's child is a good one. I'm telling you, I can't be wrong about people. Even people like me and Chen Jitang who have no relatives and no reason with him, he said that he would help, not to mention that he has lived here for so many years, and he has some feelings. Otherwise, think about it, who has he quarreled with and harmed in the past few years in the village? I tell you, no, not a single one, but I have helped a lot of people like me and Chen Jitang who need help. ”

Li Sanjin's words won the trust of the vast majority of the villagers in Chenjia Village, but there are also a few people who think that people will change, in short, they should stay away from Ye Feng in the future.

Ye Feng didn't know this, and seeing that Ye was busy making new clothes for him, he had a strange feeling in his heart.

No, I've been busy for a few years, and it's a bit of an achievement, but I didn't find my biological father, but I recognized my stepfather and mother first, and this feeling really made him feel a little complicated.

Gu Xixi had already sent someone to send the fabric, saying that it was enough to let the clothes made of this material be worn at that time. In addition to this, there are some accessories such as hats.

Ye Feng really didn't want to wear this kind of clothes, it was too complicated and impractical. In order to prepare for the next year's family search conference, as well as his own three shops, he is very busy every day, and it is really inconvenient to wear such clothes.

However, considering the status and feelings of Gu Xixi and Bai Zhixian, and thinking that the other party was also kind, he still cooperated obediently, measured the size, and the tailors were busy making clothes and other clothes.

It's just that I don't know if this plan was thought of by Bai Zhixian himself, or by the master next to him, or by Gu Xixi?

However, no matter what Ye Feng thought, the recognition ceremony came soon.

At the recognition ceremony three days later, what was surprising was that not only Gu Xixi and Bai Zhixian participated, but even the Qin family came.

This is not surprising, generally speaking, since Gu Xixi became pregnant, there is the Qin family where there is Gu Xixi. It's just that what's even more surprising is that even Master Gu came, which made everyone a little confused.

Not to mention others, even Bai Zhi County is a little strange.

He always felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't say what was wrong, for so many years, Master Gu was idle at home, and rarely attended on ordinary occasions. In his words, instead of attending some boring occasions, it is better to be comfortable with your own family.

Therefore, he stayed in the back house every day, playing with his grandson and granddaughter, and was content.

Seeing that Bai Zhixian frowned, the atmosphere seemed to be a little weird, the Qin family glanced at Master Gu, and hurriedly pulled Gu Xixi and said, "What about Ye Feng's child?" I've heard the name, but I've never seen myself. Let me tell you, your father, I heard that you want to recognize the righteous son, so I have to come and see it, saying that I know people the most, and I want to come to check for you, for fear that you will recognize the mountain wolf. ”

Obviously, although Qin's words were said to Gu Xixi, they were explained to Bai Zhixian.

Master Gu also knew that his appearance was a little abrupt, and when he saw that the Qin family had given him a step, he hurriedly continued: "No, I have to take a closer look, don't recognize the person with bad character, and teach my grandson in vain." ”

The couple sang the duet well. This makes sense.

Everyone knows how nervous Master Gu is about his grandson.

Bai Zhixian also felt that this explanation was very reasonable, so he didn't think about it anymore.

Everyone was seated, and Ye Feng walked in with someone.

In the past two years, Ye Feng has grown a lot taller, plus he has a good life, he has a comfortable life, and his wishes are being realized step by step, so he suddenly has the appearance of a big guy.

And he is wearing newly made clothes, and the styles and materials are the favorite and most popular among the sons of the current family. originally had a unique self-confidence, and at this moment, with the foil of this dress, if he didn't know his origin, he would really be the same as an ordinary son of a family.

The rising sun emitted a soft glow, shining into this inner hall from outside the yamen, shining on Ye Feng's back, making him look a little different. Looking at the child who walked in slowly, Qin lost his temper for a moment and squeezed his handkerchief tightly.

Old Master Gu kept staring at Ye Feng intently, as if trying to find something similar from his face.

Coincidentally, Ye Feng and Gu Xixi really look alike, especially with Master Gu's face shape. The full forehead, the high bridge of the nose, and the wide chin are all the same as Master Gu.

Mother Zhou stood behind Qin's family, and when she saw that Qin's handkerchief was twisted into a twist for a while, she handed over a meaningful look. Qin Shi saw it, and then stretched out the handkerchief.

She hated it in her heart, it would be nice if she didn't look like it.

When Master Gu saw it, he tried his best to stop the excitement in his heart, for fear of revealing some flaws. Hold on a little longer, and wait for the ceremony to end.

It's just that the eye sockets are a little moister.

It's just that Master Gu and the Qin family haven't seen Xue Dan yet. If they did, they would be confused. Because Yin Ping has said more than once that Ye Feng and Xue Dan look too similar.

Bai Zhixian didn't see these details, today's incident was just a trivial matter for him, just going through the motions.

The word "father-in-law", even if there is an extra word "righteousness", there is no kinship between him and Ye Feng, but the father is the father, that is to say, Ye Feng needs to be filial piety in the future.

It is better to have one more person to be filial than to have one more enemy.

Ye Feng bowed to the ground after a few bows, and after three bows, he changed his words, calling Gu Xixi his mother-in-law and calling Bai Zhixian his father-in-law. The two gave red envelopes separately, and after saying a few more words, Bai Zhixian left on the grounds that the yamen still had something to deal with.

Gu Xixi continued to chat with Ye Feng for a few words, said that Bai Zhixian was about to inspect Chenjia Village to see how everything was prepared, and said that the wives of the Liqun Club would go to Chenjia Village to play next year, and then they were ready to disperse.

The Qin clan glanced at Ye Feng again, and then helped Gu Xixi to leave.

Ye Feng said his farewell to Master Gu, then got up and prepared to leave, but Master Gu asked him to sit down and continue chatting.

This family is really weird.

Thinking so in his heart, but it was not obvious on his face, he wanted to know what this Gu master wanted to talk to him about.

When he heard Ye Feng say that he had lived in the temple for ten years and couldn't eat enough every day, he obviously felt that Master Gu was a little out of shape, and he wanted to touch him but didn't dare to make Ye Feng even more confused.

After thinking about it, Master Gu likes children the most, and when he heard his tragic experience, he felt pity.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng said gently: "The matter has passed, not to mention that I am doing well now, and it should be regarded as a kind of experience." Isn't there a saying that jade is not cut, it is not a tool. He also said that hardships and hardships are easy to achieve. Maybe God has mercy on me, isn't the good day coming now? ”

Seeing that Ye Feng was talking well, Master Gu was not obsessed with the difficulties of the past, but was grateful, full of hope for the future, and quoted scriptures when he spoke, the softest place in his heart seemed to be touched, touched his beard, and asked, "Have you ever studied?" ”

Ye Feng said: "I haven't been to the school, but I just occasionally read medical books, travelogues, and county records." I want to plant flowers and go into the mountains to find materials, so naturally I don't have time to study. Besides, the temple is far away from the red dust, and I don't have a chance to study even if I want to study. But I don't feel sorry, I've read a sentence before that says this, the world is insightful and knowledgeable, and the practice of human feelings is the article. As long as people live and understand, what does it matter if they read or not? ”

When Master Gu heard this, he stubbornly thought in his heart that this child really had wisdom roots, and if he had been cultivated since he was a child, it would be really difficult to say what he had achieved now. It's just that, as he said, if you can't eat enough, how can you talk about studying?

No matter how Ye Feng refused, Master Gu still gave Ye Feng a generous gift: a set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone that looked expensive. Especially the inkstone, at first glance, it is from the hand of a famous artist, and it is really a waste to put him here.

But Master Gu insisted on sending it, so Ye Feng accepted it, didn't his three shops need to keep accounts.

When he returned to Gu's mansion, Master Gu was a little depressed, and drank wine for the first time, and even his grandson called him a little lazy and impermanent. In the end, it was still Qin who was worried about his body, so he brought the sobering soup in and waited for him to drink.

He leaned on the head of the bed, looked at the Qin family, and said for a long time: "It's really pitiful, I haven't had enough food and clothing for more than ten years, no wonder all I think about is business all the time." However, although he has never gone to school, he is very proficient in poetry and books. Hey, it's a pity, it's a pity. ”

Qin's heart couldn't be clearer, his wife was pitying, who told that child to look so similar to him. It's just that no matter how similar it is, it can only be similar, and it can't be true.

It's just that her wife admires scholars the most, and her temperament is weird and cold, and it doesn't end well to deal with him, thinking of this, Qin said: "What's pitiful or not, it's okay, don't you see him living quite comfortably?" You don't know yet, those bonsai that are very popular in the city, and they are sold so expensive, because they are from him. As far as I know, he has sold a lot of bonsai in recent years, and he is enough to live. Without the ties of officialdom, sometimes it is also a kind of luck. ”

Qin's words made Master Gu a little surprised: "You mean, those bonsai that people can't put down in the city are made by that child?" It's no wonder that even if my Gu family is in business, they will definitely not be contaminated with that copper smell. Look at the pot of listening to the pine wind and cold, what a sense of meaning, it's not that I praise him, looking at the academy in the capital, those students may not have this mind. ”

Qin Shi rolled his eyes in his heart, a businessman is a businessman, and no matter how elegant he is, it is not to sell more silver, but he is following Master Gu's words, in the end, he is making Master Gu happy.

What she is most afraid of is that this person will go crazy, thinking that Ye Feng is having a hard time, and she will care about it from time to time, then it will really be over.
