Chapter 197: Invited

Early the next morning, the whole family got up late, and yesterday was really tiring.

The family got together for breakfast, and Li Zhongyou came to report: "Young lady, those congratulatory gifts in the front yard have been cleared out, this is a gift list." ”

Zhao Yunlan remembered that she received a bunch of gifts yesterday, and these are all human contacts. When you encounter this kind of happy event, you have to accept it.

Old man Li took the Li brothers to see the gifts in the front yard, and the third and fourth were stunned.

"Such a room!" Li Zhizhi couldn't help but exclaim.

Old man Li was actually speechless with excitement a long time ago, so he seemed so calm.

Li Zhongyou said next to him: "There are still some in the room next to it. ”

Old man Li rolled his eyes again and lay down on Li Mingyi. Why again? The Li family knows it.

Li Zhongyou hurriedly stepped forward to pinch the person, and Li Mingli took a cup of tea and splashed it on Old Man Li's face.

"Bah, which bastard?" Old man Li woke up, but the Li brothers didn't answer this question, and hurriedly helped Old Man Li to sit down.

Li Zhongyou brought a handkerchief and wiped it for Old Man Li.

Mingmei wants to come to join in the fun, but she also wants to pull her own mother and two sisters-in-law together, as soon as she enters the door, she sees several brothers surrounding her father, and then she sees that there are still some water stains on Old Man Li's face, and his sideburns are also a little wet.

Wang couldn't help but complain: "Your heart is really small, and you can't hold back at all." ”

Old man Li didn't refute, but Li Mingli said: "Mother, these gifts can be exchanged for a lot of money!" ”

Li Mingmei nodded.

These gifts include ordinary ones such as pastries, fabrics, and more valuable ones include vases, jewelry, and the four treasures of the best study, and Zhao Yunlan also saw a piece of fine jade.

The Li brothers also looked at these gift boxes, and Li Zhizhi casually picked up a box at his feet and opened it:

"Huh! This who gave the gift, so solid. ”

The eyes of the whole family gathered together, and they saw that there were cute gold ingots lying inside.

Old man Li smiled and wanted to pick one up and touch it, but was slapped down by Wang.

Zhao Yunlan looked at the name of the gift giver on the list, a rich businessman named Qian Duoduo gave it, but it was really as good as his name, Zhao Yunlan couldn't help but smile.

This wealthy businessman not only gave Li Mingren, but also the top ten gentlemen, and the first one gave the most to the dismissed man.

Otherwise, how can it be said that people are rich and talents are poor.

This has just been lifted, and if all the gifts received by the family are exchanged for money, they will have to go up to five hundred taels.

"Let this house be a storehouse! Yunlan will work hard for you. Wang said and left the front yard with Old Man Li.

Li Mingren also began to get busy, because some guests came to congratulate him today, and Li Mingren had to go to receive him. The three brothers of the Li family also have to receive guests with their own boss.

Zhao Yunlan took Wu Yi and Li Mingmei to count these gifts again, and finally took out a box of gold ingots and the piece of jade, Li Zhongyou locked the door and handed the key to Zhao Yunlan to put it away, and several people left.

There are no female dependents coming to the door today, and Zhao Yunlan and a few people can also rest. Li Mingren still took the guests to the restaurant to eat, and after eating several hot pots in a row, the corners of Li Mingming's mouth bubbled.

In the back room of the east courtyard, Li Mingren talked about the situation these days.

"And the one who gave the land?" Zhao Yunlan was puzzled.

Li Mingren nodded: "It's a squire, I see that the land deed is all high-grade fields, with twenty acres!" It's just that I didn't dare to accept it. ”

Zhao Yunlan thought to herself: Good guy! It's no wonder that everyone has to raise the strength of the whole family to support the readers, and the reward is really worth it.

"Uh-huh, it's right not to take it. If someone sends land, don't take it, and our family can't make mistakes in these things. Zhao Yunlan advised.

Li Mingren nodded, what the lady said was always right, she was so blindly obsessed.

The Li family was packing up their things to return to the village, and Li Mingren received an invitation from the prefect, and Zhao Yunlan was also invited to participate.

At today's banquet, Li Mingren wore a moon-white robe and a royal blue robe. Zhao Yunlan wore a skirt with gouache as the main body, and the moon-white patterns were staggered. He wore a sapphire hairpin on his head, which was set up with Li Mingren's set.

Ruiwen looked at his father and mother beside him, and couldn't help but smile: "My mother is so beautiful today." ”

Zhao Yunlan: "Ruiwen is also very cute today. ”

Ruiwen obediently watched his father and mother go out, and Wang continued to clean up with his daughter, thinking about something.

When she arrived at Liufu, Zhao Yunlan learned that this time Liuzhifu invited everyone who had passed the township test to come. This time, a total of thirty-two people were taken from Jinzhou City.

Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren were led to the backyard after they separated, the prefect's house was much larger than Li's house, and it took almost a quarter of an hour to see Mrs. Liu after the maid who led the way.

Mrs. Liu's surname is Lin and her name is Lin Yun. Lin Yun is the daughter of the Lin family, and now Lin Yun's father is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but in the past few years, and the in-laws have also withdrawn from the official career, they are planning to return to their hometown.

Zhao Yunlan stepped forward and saluted: "I've seen Mrs. Liu." ”

Lin Yun smiled and said: "Mrs. Li, please get up, today is to invite everyone to come and enjoy the flowers and chat, don't be so foreign." ”

Zhao Yunlan got up, although Lin Yun said that there was no need to go outside, but she didn't get up and leave the main seat, and still sat upright, but there was a hint of affinity on her face.

Zhao Yunlan sat in her position, and the maid served tea and snacks, and the two did not intersect again.

Zhao Yunlan drank tea and ate snacks as she watched the ladies being brought in, and Lin Yun also sat on the main seat and said a few polite words. I don't know if it's Zhao Yunlan's illusion, but I always feel that Mrs. Liu treats other people less cordially, and more seriousness of the superiors.

Today, not all the ladies came, some brought the old lady for reference, so the female relatives who came were not only the wives, but also the old lady and sister.

Zhao Yunlan didn't bring other female relatives in the family, not because she didn't want to, but the Li family didn't have this opportunity to participate in the banquet of the upper echelons before, and Zhao Yunlan also had some drums in her heart. Although he has some friendship with Mrs. Liu, but to the point where he is now, he can't just use friendship to get over it. So Zhao Yunlan had to explore the path by herself, adapt to this kind of life first, and then bring her family, after all, these things will be the norm in the future.

On the side of the front yard, Governor Liu talked to everyone one by one, and finally asked the interpreter to sit beside him and discuss knowledge.

The dismissal's name is Wen Zhiyu, with an elegant atmosphere, and a few white temples, but because of the happy event of the middle lift, the eyebrows do not look old. The clothes seem to have just been made, and the new materials can be seen, a navy blue gown, and a hosta on his head, it seems that this solver has also become a lot richer in the past two days.

Li Mingren was thinking so much that he didn't even notice that Governor Liu looked at it.

It just so happened that Mrs. Liu was chatting with Mrs. Liu. The conversation between the two was not vague, so Zhao Yunlan heard it clearly.

The wife's name is Qiao Juan, and she is accompanied by a daughter, who is the eldest daughter in the family. Wen Zhiyu's family is also a farmer, but there are many fields at home and some livelihoods, so it has been able to provide Wen Zhiyu with education until now. Although the conditions of the Wen family are okay, Qiao Juan also has to do work, and it can be seen that compared with Mrs. Liu, Qiao Juan's hands are indeed hands that work all year round.

Mrs. Liu also has a daughter named Liu Ruyin, who is about the same age as Mingmei, and she is planning to take a woman of the same age to the garden to play at this time. Liu Ruyin is really a beautiful girl, polite and courteous, and knows how to take care of everyone's emotions. Qiao Juan's daughter looked a little shy, but she was a lot more active under the drive of Liu Ruyin.

Zhao Yunlan observed carefully, and looked at the ladies during the meal. When a female dependent came to talk, Zhao Yunlan responded politely, and from time to time she would chat with the female dependent beside her.

At the end of a banquet, Zhao Yunlan felt a sense of relief, and so did Li Mingren, Zhao Yunlan felt that it was really tiring to chat with this lady and maintain her demeanor at any time. And Li Mingren has a headache because Governor Liu has to take the test from time to time. Because Li Mingren found that those people who ranked after him were very admirable in some academic opinions.

Mrs. Liu prepared some gifts for the female dependents, which were snacks made by the cook at home.

Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren met at the door with dim sum, and the two helped each other to get into the carriage.

When she got home, Zhao Yunlan asked Li Mingmei to open the dim sum and distribute it to everyone, but she went back to the east courtyard and sat upright for a day, which was too tired.
