Chapter 164: The Locke Family's Attitude
The lack of Wang Daren's county is directly in Yijiang County, the head of a county can not be a local, but the county can, Yijiang County Ya has made great achievements in tuberculosis, abduction and other major events this time, almost all of them have been promoted, of course, like Wang Daren, there are no who have even been promoted a few levels, and everyone thinks that the most important point is that Wang Daren gave birth to a good son and worshipped Taifu as a master.
Naturally, these officials didn't know about the three princes recuperating from their injuries in the royal mansion, otherwise they wouldn't have to praise the luck of the Wang family.
On April 28, the Wang Mansion was full of joy, Lord Wang Xin was dressed in new clothes, and greeted the guests at the gate with Mrs. Wang early, and the county government was notified of promotion, but all the officials in the county government who had not yet handed over all came.
Luo Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan didn't come early or late, Tao Lao didn't come, he was impatient with these, not to mention that it was someone's home field, and he couldn't let go of people with such a high grade.
"Lord Luo." As soon as Luo Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan got out of the car, Lord Wang and Mrs. Wang immediately stepped forward to greet them.
"Lord Wang." Luo Wenqian returned the salute and had the appointment documents in hand, he was already an official, and he had to serve up the entertainment in the officialdom.
"Mrs. Luo, let's go to the backyard." Mrs. Wang gave in and asked Chen Xiuyan to go ahead, which is different from the previous practice, even if Luo Wenqian was a person in the past, it was not a grade, but now it has suddenly become the general judgment of the sixth grade, the starting point is so high, there is no one in Yijiang County who has a higher official position than him, so Chen Xiuyan walked very calmly.
In the backyard hall, Mrs. Wang sat on the top, she was the oldest to sit in this position, but when she met a family member with a higher grade than Lord Wang, Mrs. Wang would get up, and she was very thoughtful in etiquette.
"Mrs. Locke is here." When Chen Xiuyan entered the house, all the women and young ladies in the house got up, greeted each other with smiling faces, and looked at Chen Xiuyan exuding warm cordiality.
A sentence flashed in Chen Xiuyan's mind, when you become famous, there are no bad people around you, all good people.
Although these official wives and daughters of official families were not hostile to Chen Xiuyan in the past and could be called polite, they definitely did not have the current compliments, which was the change brought about by the position of power.
Chen Xiuyan also has her own way of dealing with dealings, first greeted Mrs. Wang, then returned the salute to the ladies according to the official position, and finally sat next to Mrs. Sun.
"Mrs. Wang doesn't have to worry about me, I'll kiss my future in-laws first." Chen Xiuyan's words made the people present smile, and also made Sun's Bang'er have face.
Since the news of Luo Wenqian's high school champion came, how many people in Yijiang County said that Cai Jiaoyu had a vision, even if Luo Mingqing did not take the official career, as long as he had his back to the Luo family, he would be respectfully called Luo Dashao when he walked out of the door, and he made it clear that he would not accept concubines, and how many boudoir girls were good people in their minds, and as a result, the Cai family took it up early.
It is not for nothing that some merchants want to make up their minds to send their daughters to Luo's house to Luo Wenqian as concubines, Chen Xiuyan really hasn't been touched, because all his thoughts have been stopped back in Luo Wenqian's place, how many people in the house envy Chen Xiuyan, who was born in the field to eat food, because men are angry, they will have to be crowned with phoenixes in the future.
"This is Xiang'er." Although Chen Xiuyan has met with the Sun family a few times, it is the first time she has seen Cai Baoxiang, a little bird, her appearance is very delicate, giving people a pure sense of confusion, how likable such a little girl is.
Chen Xiuyan immediately sent a small box out, which contained the ring she liked in the capital, she bought two pairs for Luo Mingqing and Cai Baoxiang, one pair for Luo Mingqing to send by himself, and the other pair was sent by Chen Xiuyan.
In the small square box is a jade ring with a transparent body, which is simple, but the jade quality of the mutton fat jade is high-quality, and the workmanship is exquisite, Chen Xiuyan personally put it on Cai Baoxiang, and the size is just right.
What does this mean, it shows that people attach importance to their future nieces and daughters-in-law, and even the size of the ring can be touched.
"This is a pair, and the other aunt has already given it to Ming Qing, and this one wants to come and put it on for you today." Chen Xiuyan made no secret of her liking for Cai Baoxiang, obviously the two were of the same age, but Chen Xiuyan had the momentum of being an elder.
Cai Baoxiang bowed and thanked her, expressing her joy, and the smile on Mrs. Cai's face was also a lot deeper, today Chen Xiuyan is fighting for her daughter's face, and she is very comfortable.
After saying the funny words, Chen Xiuyan sat in the first seat arranged by the royal mansion for herself, she adapted well, this time she went to the capital, and there were two grandmothers from the palace at home to guide, Chen Xiuyan dealt with it very decently, so that the ladies present were in their hearts, and the Locke family could not be underestimated.
This kind of banquet, in fact, is to talk funny things together, and then have a meal, at most, the main family arranges to watch the play, there are many officials and relatives who talk to Chen Xiuyan, and the words are all touted, Chen Xiuyan smiled and humbled, and then told some of what he had seen and heard in the capital, and then expressed his vision and worry about the future, which also resonated, after all, the adults in the county government of Yijiang County are almost going to move, encourage each other, and the relationship is close.
In the front yard, Luo Wenqian's treatment is similar to Chen Xiuyan's, today is mainly officialdom, but some big merchants have been invited, this time no one said in front of Luo Wenqian that the concubine and the room were connected, but there were a lot of gifts in private, and they may also see that this newly hand-picked adult is a fearful of the inside, not a good woman, and loves money.
Luo Wenqian doesn't know what they say about him, if he knows, the name of the fear of guilt doesn't sound bad, but he loves money, and he is also the one in the family who loves money, and he collects what he can collect, and not anyone's money can be collected.
Luo Wenqian may be born to be an official, he has a flexible brain, and he understands that Tao Lao is not a vulgar person, he has said in Luo Wenqian's teachings that those who don't take a cent are not serious officials, such officials are not easy to rise, and people can only have greater ideas when they reach a position, and they can have their own authority in serving the people, isn't this also a way.
You can't be pedantic, can't be rigid, can't be stubborn, can't be greedy, Luo Wenqian learns quickly and does well.
At the end of the banquet, the sky was already a little dark, Luo Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan came out to take a donkey cart, driving a person from the saint, there was kung fu, and the two rested in the carriage with peace of mind.
"Tomorrow, I will ask the matchmaker to go to Cai's house to ask, and I have to set the date." Chen Xiuyan drank a few glasses of peach blossom brew tonight, and the breath she exhaled when she spoke was full of the fragrance of fruit wine.
Luo Wenqian drank a lot, his ears couldn't listen to the rest, his eyes only had the sweetness in front of him, he stepped forward and swallowed the other party's words, and the carriage was full of spring.
When she returned to Luojiatang, Chen Xiuyan's mouth was a little swollen and her face was red when she got out of the car, but fortunately she had the excuse of wine.
