Chapter 106: A Reward from the Mansion
"Okay, what are you going to do in Wuyi County?" Shen asked.
"Do you know who opened the incense pavilion in the capital?" Chen Xiangxian did not answer the rhetorical question.
"Didn't you say that it was opened by Third Brother Cui?" Shen said uncertainly.
"That's wrong, it wasn't opened by Cui Sange, its real owner is a young lady named Li Keke from Wuyi County." Chen Xiangxian said, "And not only Xiangge, which color of the wine is also made by her, in addition to Wuyi County, she also ran a school, so that the children in the village have books to read, from the pen, ink, paper, inkstone that the children need to use to the cost of inviting the master is covered by Miss Li." Not only that, she also built a medical center in Wuyi County, and those who looked down on the disease were treated for free for everyone...... "In addition to the rape matter, other things about Keke were told to the Shen family, and after speaking, she instructed: "This time we went to Wuyi County to meet Miss Li, let Mi'er go too, they are about the same age, they should be able to get along, tell Mi'er, when the time comes, and Miss Li must have a good relationship." ”
Shen listened, although he also felt that this Miss Li was extraordinary and very caring, but his daughter was also a young lady, and she wanted her daughter to have a good relationship with a country woman, and she also had some intention of stammering, Shen was a little reluctant, and there was another idea in her heart that a businesswoman was not worthy of dating her daughter, and said: "Master, then Miss Li is capable and caring." Your reward for being a parent official is that she is, why do you have to drag the family to visit her little girl, it's not appropriate to say it! ”
Chen Xiangxian knew that the Shen family had underestimated Miss Li Keke, but after thinking about it, what she said was not unreasonable, and it was indeed not suitable to take her family to Wuyi County, so this matter had to be discussed in the long run. So I didn't say it anymore, but after thinking about it, I thought about it again, since I knew everything, how could I sit and wait for the holy reward, and said, "Madame said that I should give Miss Li a reward." With that, he went back into the study.
Five days later, a group of people came to Fengxiang Village, Wuyi County, and there were several officials walking in front, one of whom knocked on the gong and walked towards Fengxiang Village, knocked and stopped, and shouted loudly when he stopped: "Good news, Lord Li of Yunzhou Mansion is grateful for the kindness of Miss Li Keke of Fengxiang Village, and a special plaque is rewarded." "Behind him were two officials carrying a plaque, and I saw that the plaque was vigorously written 'House of Benevolence'. In this way, he knocked and shouted all the way to Fengxiang Village, and followed some villagers and people watching the excitement from far and near.
Before the official arrived at Li's house, someone ran to Li's house to inform him, and the person who came was Zhang Damin, the son of the village chief, who said to the porter Xiao Liuzi at the door: "Little Liu, go and call Keke out, the lord of the government has sent a plaque to Keke, and they have all walked to the entrance of the village." ”
"Brother Zhang, what's going on? I don't even know about it at home! "The porter Xiaoliu didn't understand Zhang Damin's words, such a big matter, the family didn't explain it, and the young lady went out early in the morning and hasn't come back yet.
"The eldest brother of the official said that Miss Keke is kind-hearted, and she will be rewarded with a plaque." Zhang Damin said.
"Thank you, Brother Zhang, I'm tired of Brother Zhang helping me go to the entrance of the village to show the way for the big brothers, I'll go and report to the master so that I can prepare." Xiao Liuzi said, secretly thinking that our young lady must have done a good deed.
"Okay, you can go quickly!" It seemed that the Li family didn't know about this in advance, and thinking that they couldn't neglect the officials, they hurriedly ran to help on the way to the entrance of the village.
After Xiao Liu finished telling Zhang Daming, he also ran to the house, and shouted as he ran: "Master, old lady, good news!" ”
Running to the door, Mr. Cui and Mrs. Cui also walked out of the house, and Mr. Cui asked, "What good news?" "The recent good news in the family is that there are four brothers in the family, two of which still occupy the first and second places on the list, and the other is the rape matter, but this matter should not have reached the capital.
"Master, just now Zhang Damin and Brother Zhang came to say that the government was here, and the official sent a plaque to Miss, and said that Miss was kind-hearted." Xiao Liu finished speaking in one breath.
"Oh!" Old Man Cui touched his beard, his eyes flashed and said, "You go and greet it immediately!" ”
Xiao Liu heard the answer and ran away again.
"What can I do, Keke isn't at home?" Mrs. Cui said.
"Mother, don't worry, isn't the Yunzhou Mansion the sister-in-law's mother's family!" Qing Shi helped Mrs. Cui and said.
"It's inconvenient for us to go out, let people go and call the Qingwan girl back." Old man Cui said, if there are no people here, Chen Xiangxian brought people from the capital.
"I'll let people call it." Qing Shi responded. I thought: Qingwan is now more and more presentable, and she is more stable than she was a while ago.
"Mother, I'll go!" Cui Haoyi and the others also came out when Xiao Liu shouted, and naturally they heard what Xiao Liu said.
"Then you go and come back quickly." Qing said that now the youngest son is much calmer than before.
"Hmm." Cui Hao responded and walked towards the courtyard gate.
After Cui Haoyi left, the old man Cui said to the Qing family again: "Let the housekeeper invite the village chief and the chief to come to the house to help entertain together, and then let the housekeeper bring the words: say that we are the grandfather's family, and it is not good to participate in this matter." This is also the honor of Fengxiang Village, let them help entertain. ”
"Daughter-in-law, let's go." Qing said.
When I walked to the women's college, I stopped at the door, and the guards at the door were an old couple from a neighboring village, the couple had a son, but the son died on the battlefield ten years ago, and as the two got older, life became more and more difficult. "The Seventh Young Master is here!" The old man Li Faxiang greeted, because the women's college did not allow men to enter, although Li Faxiang greeted, he did not open the door to let Cui Haoyi in.
"Please ask Uncle Li to call Miss Qingwan, and say that there is an urgent matter at home." Cui Haoyi said.
"Okay, I'll let the old woman call Miss Qingwan." Li Faxiang said, and shouted to the room next to the gate: "The old woman go and call Miss Qingwan out." ”
"What's wrong?" Li Faxiang's wife in the house ran out and asked when she heard the shout.
"If there is something at home, go and call Miss Qingwan to come out, the Seventh Young Master is still waiting here." Li Faxiang said.
After hearing this, his wife immediately responded, "Seventh Young Master, wait a minute, I'll go and call Miss Qingwan." ”
"Okay." Cui Haoyi said.
Soon Qingwan walked out, her hair was simply combed behind her head, fixed together by a green hairpin, and she was wearing a simple and generous dress designed by Keke herself for her, which looked particularly energetic and capable. After Qingwan hurriedly walked out, she asked, "Seventh brother, what's going on at home?" ”
"Someone from the government is here, the plaque is here, Keke hasn't come back yet, and my grandfather asked you to go back to entertain the official who sent the plaque." Cui Haoyi said.
"What plaque?" Qingwan was still a little unclear after hearing this.
"It is said that Keke's house is kind-hearted and rewarded by the government." Cui Haoyi said, looking at Qingwan as he spoke, with a touch of tenderness in his eyes.
"Really? That's great! When Qingwan heard this, she immediately became happy. Let's go back! As he spoke, he walked in the direction of home, with a brisk pace.
Cui Haoyi looked at Qingwan's happy appearance, and her heart was a little gloomy, she always cared about Keke's things!
"Sister Qingwan, have you been busy in the academy lately?" Walking on the road, Cui Haoyi took the initiative to ask.
"It's okay, we can all be busy." Qingwan replied.
"If my sister is too busy, there is something I can do, but you're welcome." Cui Haoyi said again.
"Thank you, Brother Seven." Qingwan said.
"My sister is fifteen years old, have you ever thought about what kind of person you want to marry in the future?" Cui Haoyi couldn't help but ask.
Qingwan turned her head and glanced at Cui Haoyi, "I didn't think about getting married!" ”
“!” Cui Haoyi didn't know what to say after hearing this, but after thinking about it, although she was over fifteen, no one had ever taught her and Keke before, and she probably hadn't opened her mind yet, so she didn't have to worry about it. So he changed his words and said: "If my sister doesn't marry in the future, I will support you for the rest of my life as an elder brother." After saying that, I suddenly felt very happy.
Qingwan listened to Cui Haoyi's words, and only thought that he was treating himself as the same as Keke, and said: "Seventh brother has to be counted when he speaks, don't be strictly controlled by my sister-in-law in the future, and leave me alone." ”
Cui Haoyi smiled: "No, my sister just rest assured." ”
As they spoke, they arrived at the door of the house, walked into the house and shouted, "Grandfather, grandmother, little aunt." ”
"I'm back, come and sit." Qing said.
After Qingwan sat down, she heard Old Man Cui say: "There may be people from Fucheng who recognize us, so it is inconvenient for us to go out to greet us, Keke is not at home and you should go to receive it, and the village chief and the lieutenant chief will also come back in a while, you will receive them together, everything is up to you, don't be afraid of making mistakes." ”
"Yes, I listened to my grandfather." Qing Wan responded.
After instructing Qingwan, the Cui family went back to Nanyuan. Just after the Cui family went to Nanyuan, Qingwan took Mama Cui and a few maidservants to wait at the door.
As soon as I stood at the door, I saw the village chief Cui Mama, Zhang Xingwang, and Li Changsheng, the head of the village, walking towards the gate of the courtyard.
Qingwan greeted him and shouted, "Trouble Uncle Zhang and Uncle Li to run." ”
"What's not troublesome, this is not the glory of our village." Li Changsheng, the mayor, said. And when he said this, he had a glorious face on his face.
Zhang Xingwang, who came with him, also said with a smile: "No, you two sisters are from our village, isn't this the glory of our village, it's too late to be happy, so what's the trouble." ”
When a few people were laughing and talking, Xiao Liu brought this official messenger over, followed by a large group of people who came over to watch the excitement.
"The little woman Li Qingwan greeted the eldest brother of the errand officer." Qingwan said and bowed, a standard etiquette for everyone.
The messenger who led the gong sounded Li Qingwan's words and said, "Miss Li Keke is here?" ”
"My lord, I am Li Keke's sister, my name is Li Qingwan, my sister went out today and has not come back." Qingwan said without humility or arrogance, with a standard smile on the corner of her mouth. "Adults, please!"
After listening to Li Qingwan's words, the servants didn't say anything more, but still happily carried the plaque into the door, can they not be happy? When I came, the adults repeatedly explained that they should be polite and not put on a show......
