Chapter 203: Grandma Appears
The birthday banquet of the prefect's wife was quite lively, there were many guests who came to the door, and there was a group of children at the door, they recited the praise of the prefect's wife's smooth mouth, so as to beg for candy and copper plates.
Because of the Qincha problem, the prefect actually didn't want to do it, but the invitations were sent out half a month ago, and if I didn't do it at this time, it was not good to explain it to the family, and the Qincha side was also like a thief, and the impression would only be worse.
Don't look at the prefect's eyebrows and smiles, in fact, he is quite apprehensive.
The prefect's wife said that the second master of the An family went to find his aunt and grandmother, although the other party followed up to say thank you, but the prefect's heart still couldn't let go.
The relationship between the An family and Qin Cha is always a little apprehensive.
The prefect had a bad rest last night, and all he was thinking about was the problems related to the Qincha, and his little life was in the hands of the Lord Qincha!
He is now working hard to do things for the Qin Mission, in order not to let himself be arrested and then questioned by the emperor!
Every year, one or two officials will be criticized by name, if the mistake is big, the emperor directly orders the execution, if it is a misdemeanor, it is the official position to the end, and the promotion after receiving the emperor's reprimand is hopeless.
Of course, if he was sent to report to Qin, the guilt was not light.
No matter what, as long as you are caught, don't think about any operation, and your future official career will be at a glance.
The prefect is now holding on to the psychology of luck, thinking that he will coax the Qincha, and then spit out the silver that is greedy for ink, and if he behaves well, he will save himself first!
The prefect's wife doesn't know what her husband is worried about, she is happy and anxious today, this birthday banquet husband finally let go, she has been in Qingzhou City for so many years, the first time she has been so beautiful.
Everyone is beaming, all to celebrate their birthday!
The prefect and the prefect's wife only greeted them at the door for a while, and received some guests with more important status, and the rest of the ordinary guests did not need them to greet them one by one.
The two turned from the door of the house, ready to return to the table.
The prefect instructed the little maid to stay at the corner of the street, and if he saw his aunt's sedan chair coming, he must run back and tell him in advance, just in case, the prefect sent three little maids, for fear that only one of the little maids would look away and miss it.
Before entering the mansion, the prefect looked in the direction of the street, and he didn't know if the other party was satisfied with the information given to Lord Qincha.
If you affirm his ability, you have to cherish his talents, and you have to give him a chance to atone for his sins...
No matter what others think, the prefect is quite confident in himself.
He feels like he's full of talent!
In the past few days, he has worked hard to complete the explanation of Lord Qincha, and he is planning, it is best to make Lord Qincha have the idea that he has talent, but he has taken a detour, and he can improve his mistakes and give him another chance!
"Master, I asked Mama Song to guard the door, if my aunt and grandmother come, Mama Song will be introduced directly to the backyard, and she will not be lazy."
It's just a distant relative who fights the autumn wind, and the prefect's wife doesn't know why her husband values it so much, in her eyes, these two people came to Qingzhou City to recognize their relatives, didn't they just want to get some benefits.
Those who pretend to be five or six people now will inevitably show their greed after a while!
"Madam, let me reiterate one last time, everything for my aunt and grandmother is according to my mother-in-law's specifications, if my mother-in-law comes, Madame will not greet her at the door?"
Listening to her husband's somewhat angry words, the prefect's wife knew that she had said the wrong thing, and she should not show her contempt for her aunt and grandmother in front of her husband.
"It's me who thinks it's bad."
The prefect's wife hurriedly admitted her mistake, she was a smart person, and she never quarreled with her husband in this regard, even if she had different opinions, she would wait for her husband to be angry before mentioning it.
While the two were talking, a small servant came quickly from outside, and the footsteps that were originally going to the men's banquet turned around and walked towards the prefect's side.
"My lord, my aunt and grandpa are at the corner of the street!"
The two of them didn't take a car or a sedan chair, they came on foot, so the little guy noticed it at a glance.
The prefect's face was straight, and he strode towards the door, and after the cold face of her husband just now, the prefect's wife did not dare to show slackness, and followed the door and walked quickly.
The two of them stood in a very clever position, to the left was the men's table, and to the right was the women's table, and now the table was not open, so the guests did not sit at the table, they were wandering around.
Of course, the male guests in the front yard may not go to the backyard to surprise the female dependents, and the female relatives will not come to the front, but the prefect and his wife stand in a position that is just the intersection point that both male and female guests can see.
Many people saw the reaction of the prefect and his wife, and couldn't help but guess in their hearts who came to make the prefect and his wife treat him so solemnly.
Everyone thought that a noble person had come, so when they saw that it was Zhou Jinyan and Jian Yu who had changed their faces, they couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, these two people looked ordinary, and the clothes and fabrics were not very expensive!
I also want to be able to contact the nobles of Dingding this time!
Zhou Jinyan had already told Jian Yu about the situation of the prefect, so in the face of his courtesy, Jian Yu's mentality was very normal, and Zhou Jinyan didn't feel anything.
But when others saw the prefect's words and deeds, their jaws dropped in shock!
The prefect is such a serious person on weekdays, but now he is smiling at the faces of the man and woman, and he leans over slightly when he speaks, this posture is respectful and humble.
The prefect's wife is the same, laughing next to the prefect, not seeing the other ladies when they are holding a noble fan, looking very approachable.
If she knew what everyone thought, the prefect's wife was afraid that she would roll her eyes, but she wanted to put up a shelf, but she was here!
After a while, the woman and the prefect's wife left, and the prefect led the man over, and quickly stepped forward with a wine glass, saying that this son is eye-catching, but looking at Zhuo Wei is extraordinary, he must not be an ordinary person.
In and out of the words, Zhou Jinyan was going to be carried to the sky.
"This is my aunt and grandfather."
Hearing the prefect's introduction, the expressions of the people present stiffened for a moment.
Grandpa?! What aunt and grandfather?
This situation also happened on the side of the female dependents, it was impossible for the prefect's wife not to introduce Jian Yu's identity, and now the prefect's wife has become numb, after all, they all call themselves nephews and daughters-in-law, and it is nothing to call an aunt and grandmother in front of everyone.
After the prefect's wife finished speaking, the scene instantly became very silent.
Auntie?!
The ladies looked at Jian Yu with some surprise, who doesn't have a few distant relatives? The identity of the aunt and grandmother is not important, what matters is the attitude of the prefect's wife!
The prefect's wife actually respects her?! Some ladies subconsciously looked at the county lord of Suxi, only to see the county lord bowing his head and drinking tea, as if he couldn't hear or see what was happening in front of him.
The county lord of Suxi didn't stand up and say anything, so he said that the identity of his aunt and grandmother was fine! Mrs. Chong has such a niece as the county lord of Suxi, but it is not just a person who calls himself an aunt and grandmother, and can be an elder.
After the introduction, the prefect's wife led Jian Yu to the seat, she meant to be polite, but she didn't expect Jian Yu to sit down!
What a rude number!
Does the prefect's wife dare to pick up? She didn't dare, so in the end she could only silently let her subordinates add a table to the left position, so that it was also level with Jian Yu's position, and it looked like the main seat.
Everyone saw this, and quickly narrowed their gaze, the aunt and grandmother mentioned by the prefect's wife didn't look very easy to provoke.
The prefect's wife is so arrogant, she has given in to this!
After sitting down, Jian Yu raised her eyes and met An Li's gaze not far away, and Jian Yu pulled the corners of her mouth slightly, which was counted as a greeting.
An Li's eyes lit up when he received the signal, and he immediately responded with a big smile.
Jian Yu thought, Mrs. Prefect's trick has not been solved yet, and now is not the time to be happy.
After bowing her head slightly, she put her eyes on the row opposite An Li, where the wives of the major merchants were sitting.
