The wine banquet is a paradise for adults, and adults who are drunk and dizzy can still take care of children. After worry-free and Xi'er were full, they followed Dong Qingqing to play in the yard. It's a pity that the yard is full of people.

The three little ones ran out of the courtyard, but they let Sansso-Wu see the team from outside the village at a glance. "Who are you?" Xiao Xi'er asked with a raised face, her eyes falling on the carriage in the convoy.

The team leader also saw three children, but he was not good at words, let alone dealing with children, and he was a little at a loss at this time. But the more this happened, the colder his face became.

Seeing that she didn't answer herself, Xiao Xi'er looked at him again, but was obviously frightened by his indifferent expression, and ran back to worry-free, hiding behind her brother and watching them carefully.

Wuwu pulled Dong Qingqing behind him, and looked at the team of black-clothed people in front of him vigilantly.

"Look, you're scaring other people's kids." There was another sound in the carriage, a slightly shrill voice. After a while, the curtain was lifted by a pair of white hands, and a person walked out of it.

The man was about fifty years old, with a white face and kind eyes, and he didn't look like a bad person.

The man also saw that there was no worries, but he was a little surprised that there were such delicate and lovely children in this small mountain village, and they were all well dressed. The man thought about it and didn't feel that there was anything wrong, after all, the eldest lady of the Hua family was still there, and these two children were probably left by the eldest young master of the Hua family.

The man walked up to the two children and said with a smile, "Children, where are the adults in your family?" ”

Wuwu dragged Xi'er and Dong Qingqing back a few steps: "Who are you?" ”

"My surname is Cao, just call me Grandpa Cao." The person who claimed to be Gonggong Cao smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, and he didn't see any bad intentions at all.

"Why not grandpa, but father-in-law?" Xiao Xi'er was quite puzzled by this title, tilting her head to look at the father-in-law Cao,

Father-in-law Cao also tilted his head to look at her: "Because I am my father-in-law!" ”

This Gonggong Cao is the chief eunuch beside Emperor Qiyuan, known as nine thousand years old. Gonggong Cao has taken care of Emperor Qiyuan in the palace all these years, and he has also watched Yun Shumo and the princes and princesses grow up, and he also likes children very much. And happy to be close to them.

Father-in-law Cao has seen the two children of the Hua family, but only when they were born. Marshal Hua guarded the border for Emperor Qiyuan, and his grandson was born and he couldn't return to Beijing to take a look. Emperor Qiyuan compassionately sent the most trusted internal officials around him to the Marshal's Mansion, not only sending condolences, but also a large number of gold, silver and jewelry. This is the first of its kind in Daqi, and it is the envy of many ministers.

But what about being favored, it's not like you're going to hell once.

Xiao Xi'er was amused by Gonggong Cao's exact tone and herself, but Wuwu looked at these people carefully again, and then said, "What's the matter with you?" ”

"We're looking for you...... Mother. "Father-in-law Cao originally wanted to talk about his sister-in-law, but after thinking about it, he immediately changed his words.

Worry-free looked at Gonggong Cao for a long time, although this person was kind and kind, but the black-clothed people behind him had a cold and evil face, so that he didn't dare to act rashly. Wuwu thought for a while: "What are you looking for my mother?" ”

Gonggong Cao was amused by the solemn tone of worry-free, and he laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'm not going to arrest you back." I'm here today, but it's a good thing. ”

As soon as Father-in-law Cao's voice fell, Jin Nanshu, who had never left, came over, and when he saw Father-in-law Cao, he smiled and said, "Father-in-law Cao, you are so fast." ”

"Master Jin Xiaohou." Gonggong Cao smiled, "You have a comfortable little life." Take me to the Flower Girl! ”

Jin Nanshu naturally would not refuse, and picked up the two children one by one. However, carefree eyes were still staring at Gonggong Cao who was following them, and he tugged at Jin Nanshu's collar: "Uncle Jin, who is this Gonggong Cao?" ”

Jin Nanshu didn't know that this kid was wary of strangers, he smiled and said: "He's a good person, don't worry, he's on your side, and ah, he grew up watching Yun Shumo." ”

Hearing Jin Nanshu say this, worry-free is also relieved, if you can watch that father grow up, he should be a recognized person, and he must be a good person!

Daddy Yunshumo is so powerful, he will definitely not recognize the wrong person.

The wave of joy of the Zhou family has not yet faded, and no one paid attention to him when Jin Nanshu came in. Wuwu slipped out of Jin Nanshu's arms and ran to Hua Qingyan's side and whispered a few words. Hua Qing looked surprised and looked up at Jin Nanshu standing at the door. This person stood at the gate of the courtyard and did not come in, looking at the grand scene in the courtyard, there was a bit of loneliness of "the excitement is someone else's, I have nothing".

Looking at Gonggong Cao and his party who gradually appeared behind Jin Nanshu, Hua Qingyan raised her eyebrows quietly, she already knew the purpose of Gonggong Cao's coming, but she didn't plan to remind her, she just sighed a little, today is really a good day.

Everyone heard someone outside the door say loudly: "Shen Ming of Shanglin Village is there?" ”

Everyone was stunned, and their eyes invariably fell on Shen Ming, who was drinking and his face was flushed. Shen Mingzheng was so happy that he didn't pay attention to it, but the daughter-in-law next to him pushed him. Shen Ming turned his head a little dazed: "I am, what are you looking for me?" I'm not in business today. ”

Gonggong Cao smiled loudly: "Today's business, you have to do it if you don't do it." ”

Such a domineering guest! Shen Ming frowned and just wanted to refuse strongly, when he saw the man take out a bright yellow thing from his arms, and read with a shake of his hands: "The holy decree has arrived, Shen Ming, Hua Qingyan still kneels down to accept the decree!" ”

At this moment, everyone was stunned, and knelt on the ground in a panic, and their heads were about to hang to the ground. This remote mountain village is a big man in the town on weekdays, and they have to wait carefully. This, this, this, holding the holy decree, is not the person in the palace of Yongjing City, thousands of miles away! The people who knelt in the courtyard were all sincerely afraid, not to mention curious, and now they were afraid that they would offend the nobles from this palace with one look.

And Shen Ming was even more confused, and trembled with fear. Why is there a holy decree? Did he do something? But he is just a businessman who does his duty, and he has never been deceived for so many years, and he is even more conscientious in doing business! Moreover, if you really did something wrong, shouldn't you be the prefectural order to get your own? Shen Ming couldn't help but glance at Hua Qingyan, and happened to meet the eyes that were handed over later.

Hua Qingyan nodded to Shen Ming, signaling him to be calm and not impatient, but he couldn't mess up first.

Shen Ming, a person from Shanglin Village, Chaoyang Town, Lincheng, has outstanding craftsmanship, and the crystal made has won the sacred heart, and it is specially sealed as a tribute! The order was given to Shen Ming and Hua Qingyan, the owner of the crystal formula, 10,000 taels of gold, a pair of white jade Ruyi, and two red coral sticks to show the emperor's grace, Qin this! ”

All the fear turned to disbelief. Shen Ming raised his head to look at Hua Qingyan for the first time, and saw her smile at him and bent his eyebrows, Shen Ming's hanging heart completely fell, and instantly showed a bright smile, and he smiled stupidly.

This is the Emperor's Grace! Although a batch of the best crystals is paid to the royal family every year, this is nothing, and the profits brought to him after this matter is spread are enough for the Shen family to live a prosperous life for several lifetimes. If the royal family really likes it, maybe they can even give it an imperial merchant! Then their Shen family is really glorious and glorious!

Shen Ming's silly music amused Gonggong Cao again, and he coughed lightly, "Shen Ming, don't take the order yet!" ”

"Oooh!" Only then did Shen Ming come back to his senses, and hurriedly kowtowed and raised his hand above his head: "Shen Ming thanks Lord Longen!" ”

Gonggong Cao stepped forward and put the holy decree in his hand, "Get up, everyone get up." Father-in-law Cao looked at the surrounding environment, and finally landed on the big red happy word, "This is a happy event, I am also a coincidence!" ”

Zhou Lizheng and Mrs. Shen glanced at each other, and the two hurriedly walked to Shen Ming's side: "It's my family to marry, if the adults don't dislike it, they can sit down and have a light meal." ”

There are only about a dozen people in Cao's line, but at this time it has already passed the meal, and they didn't settle down in the town in order to come over earlier, so they eat dry food when they are hungry. Father-in-law Cao is not a person who likes to put on a show, he looked at Hua Qingyan's table with his feet, and hurriedly said: "It's easy to say, it's all said that the craftsmanship of the chef of Guanlanju is a must, I want to taste it today!" ”

Hearing what Father-in-law Cao said, Zhou Lizheng and Mrs. Shen's hanging hearts were also put down, and they hurriedly beckoned the guys to clean up the table and set up the two tables again. led Gonggong Cao and his party to take a seat. Gonggong Cao refused to eat alone, so he pulled Jin Nanshu with his hand, naturally he didn't let go of Hua Qingyan and Shen Ming.

The chef hasn't finished work yet, and after listening to the young man's story about the movement in the courtyard, he has no problem with being asked to cook two more tables. The Zhou family was very good, because they were afraid of starving them, so they let them eat first, and let them keep some of the dishes they made for themselves.

The dishes were served quickly, and the black-clothed people who were originally cold-faced also showed a satisfied smile after smelling the aroma of the food, and these men were all drinking, and from time to time they shouted at the villagers at several other tables to drink. For a while, the atmosphere that was originally stagnant because of the arrival of a big man came alive again. In the midst of the staggering, the villagers gradually regained their comfort, and regarded those men in black as ordinary friends, friends who could drink together.

"In this countryside, there is also their own unique leisurely contentment." Gonggong Cao suddenly sighed.

"If your father-in-law likes it, you can say it to the emperor and let you return to your hometown." Jin Nanshu proposed, with a smile in his eyes.

Gonggong Cao thought about it with his wine glass, "This is a good idea, I look at this mountain village very well, otherwise how could Miss Qingyan be willing to settle here." I just don't know if Miss Qingyan welcomes me. ”

Hua Qingyan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again: "I am not in charge of the mountain village, if my father-in-law is willing, the villagers of this mountain village will naturally welcome it." ”

"That's it!"
