Chapter 209: The Du Family, the Li Family
The Du family and the Li family have also been operating in this county for hundreds of years, which is why they have today's reputation.
It is said that the ancestors of the Du family also had a master, who was the county order in the county seat at that time, and because of this relationship, their Du family moved to this county seat and took root.
The origin of the Li family is even more mysterious, some people say that this is a branch of the Li family in the capital, and some people say that the Li family was still a big family in the provincial capital before, in short, there are various theories, and the Li family is definitely a big family in the county.
is now the old lady of the Li family, it is said that she is still the daughter of the Song family in the provincial capital, but she is not a descendant, she is a daughter of a side branch, from this point it can be inferred that the Li family should still be very powerful before, otherwise how to marry the daughter of the Song family.
After the shopkeeper arranged the side room, Jiang Xi walked in. The people of the Du family and the Li family were already sitting inside, but none of the people who came were the head of the family.
The Du family came from a young man, who looked like he was in his early twenties, and the shopkeeper whispered to him, and Jiang Xi knew that this person's identity was actually the youngest son of the head of the Du family, Du Qiming.
And the one from the Li family is even bigger, the third son of the old lady, and now the third master of the Li family.
As soon as he saw these two, Jiang Xi knew what they wanted to do, not only to make friends with their Jiang family, but also to choose a son-in-law for the family.
She glanced at Qin Hao and gave him a look to be careful. Qin Hao also saw the trickiness in this, and nodded at her.
"Hello Gongzi Du, hello Boss Li, have you waited for a long time." Jiang Xi and Qin Hao spoke towards the two of them, and then sat down.
The Li family didn't come over, because they liked to deal with the guests very much, and the people of the Du family and the Li family were not so easy to deal with, so Jiang Xi simply asked Lianzi and Jiang Qian to accompany her out for a stroll first, and he and Qin Hao came over to entertain these people.
The Du family and the Li family had already sent people to inquire about the situation of the Jiang family, and knew that this family was handed over to juniors like Jiangxi and Qin Hao, so they were not surprised that the Li family did not come.
Both of them got up, and Li Shichang, the third master of the Li family, smiled at Qin Hao and Jiang Xi: "Where is it, we have just sat down for a short time." ”
"That is, as long as Miss Jiang and Qin Gongzi can come, it doesn't matter if we wait a long time." Du Qiming spoke, a pair of eyes unconsciously glanced over Jiang Xi, and his thin lips hooked slightly.
His look made Jiang Xi particularly dissatisfied, but it was only this first time they met, coupled with the Du family's power in this county, that Jiang Xi did not come out.
Qin Hao's face also sank, his eyes were a little more indifferent, and he had a very bad impression of the people of the Du family.
At noon, naturally stayed here for lunch, Jiangxi asked people to cook red soup hot pot, and opened a jar of wine, the four of them sat together and talked while eating, talking about the food from the hot pot, and from the water town in the south of the Yangtze River to the desert in the northwest.
After eating lunch for more than an hour, Du Qiming later drank a little sorghum wine and got a little drunk, and was helped into a sedan chair and left after the meal. Before leaving, Li Shichang expressed the Li family's goodwill to the Jiang family, saying that he hoped that they would go to the Li family for tea another day.
Jiang Xi and Qin Hao glanced at each other, but they didn't refuse, they agreed first, and only said that they would go when they had time.
Sending them away, Jiangxi and Qin Hao hurried home, both of them were very worried about the Li family, she was coming to the county seat for the first time, today the people of the Du family and the Li family came too quickly, they didn't even make any preparations, so they could only let the Li family go back first.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Jiang Xi saw the lotus seeds waiting at the door, and only relieved himself after asking clearly.
It turned out that after they went to the private room, the Li family came back alone, and after eating a little casually at noon, he sent Lianzi here to wait, and asked them to tell her as soon as they returned.
Jiang Xi and Qin Hao walked in with the lotus seeds, and the Li family was waiting for them in the front yard, and they saw it as soon as they passed through the screen.
"Xi'er, Hao'er, you're finally back, can the two families get along?"
Jiang Xi and Qin Hao naturally reported good news but not bad news, and Zhejiang left home to express kindness to them and gave them words to Li and reassured her heart.
"That's good, that's good, my mother is relieved. By the way, you two children haven't eaten much outside, my mother just asked the kitchen to order two bowls of noodles, you can eat some later. ”
"What noodles!" When it came to eating, Jiang Xi suddenly came to her senses, she was in the hot pot restaurant before, because of that Du Qiming, she had no appetite at all, and she only ate a little bit when she ate, and she was already hungry.
As soon as he saw the stars in Jiang Xi's eyes, Li laughed helplessly.
"You're still so greedy, and I don't know which family will marry you in the future."
Jiang Xi wrinkled his little nose dissatisfied: "Mother, it's clear that you said that we should eat what you are ready to eat, but now you say that I am greedy." ”
"Okay, okay, it's my mother's fault, my mother shouldn't talk about you." For this daughter, the Li family has no way at all. Jiangxi is sometimes very shrewd, especially in dealing with external affairs, but sometimes she looks very coquettish in front of her, and she loves Jiangxi Li to the core.
"Mother asked them to make sauerkraut and shredded pork noodles, this sauerkraut is still what we brought from home before, and my mother knows that you two brothers and sisters will have a good bite."
Hearing that it was sauerkraut and shredded pork noodles, although Qin Hao didn't show it, he was still very happy in his heart. Now, he has regarded himself as a part of the family, and his name for Li has long been changed to his mother, and he is also called his sister to Jiangxi, and he feels warmth at home that he has never felt before.
After Yuan Xiu left, he gradually took on the responsibilities that a man should have in this family, and his temperament became more and more calm, and he didn't look like a thirteen-year-old boy anymore.
Jiang Xi sometimes laughed at him for not getting old and declining, but Qin Hao just smiled and didn't argue with her. But in fact, how could Jiang Xi not know that Qin Hao's youth and old age were just for this family, and when he behaved majesticly, others would not dare to bully the orphans and widows of their family.
After eating shredded meat noodles, the Li family went to the inner courtyard to rest, and Jiang Xi and Qin Hao sat in the side hall to discuss the situation of the Du family and the Li family today.
"The Li family's side must be over, since they have expressed goodwill, we have no reason to refuse, offending the largest family in this county. But on the Du family's side, I suggest that you don't go over this time. Qin Hao said.
Jiang Xi frowned, he and Qin Hao had the same opinion on the Li family's side, as for the Du family, if it was really left to Qin Hao to deal with alone, she was a little worried, what if this was the Du family's means. Qin Hao went in alone, in case the Du family did something at that time, judging from the Du family's past reputation, all this was really hard to say.
"On the Du family's side, let's not have anything to do with them for the time being, if it really doesn't work, we have to deal with it together. Together, they shouldn't be able to do anything. You know, we still have the relationship between Lord Hong, and I don't believe that he dares to detain both. ”
"But that Du Qiming, in front of me and the third master of the Li family today, he dares to do this, if you go to the Du family, you must not be stripped off a layer of skin. If you don't worry about me going, then we won't go to the Du family, we will go to the Li family first, and the rest of us will find an opportunity to entertain us at our house together. ”
"That's fine." Jiang Xi nodded, people like the Du family, they don't want to have too deep a relationship with them, this is equivalent to showing everyone, and their Jiang family is also more inclined to the Li family.
After the matter was settled, in the afternoon, after the hottest time had passed, Jiang Xi took Li out to go shopping together.
The family is about to hold a banquet, using the name of Qin Hao's birthday, in fact, his birthday is indeed in these few days. It's just that last month because of various things at home, it has been delayed, so it has been delayed until this leap month.
The banquet in the county town is different from that in the town, especially since their family has just arrived in the county seat now, and if they want to gain a firm foothold here in the future, they must let everyone know that their Jiang family is not easy to bully.
The matter of buying in the kitchen, Jiang Xi handed over to Jiang Qian and Xie Pozi to deal with, although Xie Pozi is dedicated to her now, but she is not a person who is used to it, Jiang Qian is clever and smart, with her watching from the side, Xie Pozi will definitely not dare to have any accidents.
And Jiangxi himself, together with the Li family, took the lotus seed and another little girl to the silver building in the county seat.
Since she crossed over here, it has been more than a year, and neither she nor the Li family have added a piece of jewelry. As for the Li family's former dowry, the family was originally poor and didn't bring much, but later because of Jiang Xiucai's rush to take the exam, there was no rice in the pot at home, and it was gone when the river crossed over.
Jiang Xi planned to buy some for himself and the Li family today, and when he walked in with the Li family, the Li family did not refuse.
There is no woman who doesn't like jewelry, especially now that there is no shortage of these silver coins at home, and she will not refuse to buy a few pieces of jewelry for herself.
There are some simple silver ornaments on the first floor, Jiang Xi lost interest after looking at it twice, and as soon as the shopkeeper saw this situation, he knew that he had met a big customer, and he stepped forward in person.
"Madam, girl, what do you want to see, this store is the largest silver building in this county, as long as there is jewelry in this county, you can find it in our silver building. The two of you don't look like they can look at these mundane things, why don't you go to the second floor to have a look? On the second floor, there is a lot of gold, and a little silverware is also very exquisitely made. ”
Jiang Xi bowed slightly, and the boss immediately led the way in front.
Jiangxi and Li are two fresh faces, although there is no hairpin on the head, but he recognizes the kind of cloth on his body, which is still a fashionable material in the provincial capital, called Fuyun Jin. When you walk with it, the pattern on it seems to be moving, hence the name.
This kind of floating cloud brocade is not cheap, but anyone who can afford to wear this kind of fabric and can bring two or three girls must be rich.
