The next day was the great day for the Xu family to recruit a new wife.
The magistrate's family, Liu Yuanwai's family, Lin's family...all the prominent figures in Luo City, except the Lu and Liang families, were present to congratulate and have a banquet.
Xiao Kui’s identity is kept secret for the time being, so he appears as a relative of the man. He temporarily ordered a batch of congratulatory gifts and carried them into the Xu Mansion.
The guests who came to the banquet sighed again: "The ancestors of the Xu family have taken care of me. This uncle is so worth it!"
Xiaoyao Weng sat at the men's table and drank wine happily.
The prefect accidentally glanced at him and felt that he looked familiar. He kept looking at him, and the more he looked at him, the more frightened he became. He pulled the master aside and asked quietly: "That... master, do you remember him?"
The master looked at it intently for a few times, and then his face turned pale: "It looks like the person I met three years ago on the way to promotion?"
That year they unfortunately ran into a fight between two groups of Jianghu people. One of them, an old man with gray hair, killed more than thirty top martial arts masters with a flick of his palm.
It was so frightening that they, non-charlatans, were trembling, for fear that he would kill and silence them.
Fortunately, the other party was interested in drinking, so he left with the wine gourd and Qinggong.
Recalling the frightened state of mind at that time, the prefect looked complicated.
It seems that this uncle from Xu Mansion has a really big background! From now on, we can only make good friends and never offend!
Thinking this way, he looked kindly on the old housekeeper who came to entertain the guests on behalf of the master's family.
Other guests were confused: When did the prefect have such a good relationship with the Xu family? I haven't heard that he has any dealings with the Xu family?
The prefect cleared his throat and said: "The greenhouse vegetables that Xu Mansion came up with are really good things. Otherwise, there would be no chance of eating refreshing and delicious spring vegetables in the cold winter months."
I see!
All the guests suddenly realized.
Then they all rushed to toast Butler Xu, and they all got close to each other:
“Steward Xu, you look really good lately. You’re getting stronger! You’re getting stronger!”
“Steward Xu, how many greenhouse vegetables has Xu Mansion grown this year? Can you supply more to my family? Price is not a problem!”
“And our government…”
The old housekeeper didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “Everyone! Don’t be anxious! Several villages in our house have built greenhouses this year, so that everyone can have spring vegetables in the cold winter!”
“Steward Xu, last time I heard Mr. Lin say that when his village built a greenhouse, Xu Mansion provided expert advice, but is it true?”
“It’s true.” Butler Xu nodded.
“Then if I want to build a greenhouse in my house and grow some spring vegetables by myself, would your house be willing to provide some expert advice? I can give you some silver.”
Steward Xu hesitated for a moment: "This..."
"OK."
Xu Yin came out.
She took off her heavy crown, put on a light headdress, wore a Xia Pei wedding robe, and came with Sikong Jin to toast the guests.
From now on, I will attend various occasions as the host of the Xu family, and I will no longer hide in the bridal chamber on the wedding day.
She wished that these wealthy families would grow their own greenhouse vegetables, so that Xu Mansion would have enough vegetables to sell to the market, and ordinary people would be able to eat green vegetables in winter.
“Great!” The other party clapped his hands happily, “I will build a greenhouse when I return home! Mr. Xu, you must keep your word!”
“Our government will also build one.”
"That's right! Build it by yourself, and you will have a steady stream of spring vegetables to eat in the future. Count us in!" Xu Yin nodded: "Yes, you can. But let me be honest, the initial investment in greenhouse planting is not small, everyone. It’s best to think it through before making a decision.”
Don't blame her if you lose or compensate.
“It’s okay, why don’t you just spend some money! When I think about having spring vegetables to eat every day in winter, I will be happy no matter how expensive it is.”
“That’s right!”
“Xu Dongjia, why don’t you tell us how to build this greenhouse and how to plant it in the later stage, so that we can have some idea.”
Xu Yin: You can have this. She's the best at it.
So, in the middle of the wedding banquet, the process of toasting by the bride and groom turned into an exchange meeting on greenhouse vegetable planting. Except for Xu Yin, the bride, there was probably no one else in the world.
After the wedding banquet, Xiao Kui had to return to Beijing.
“Dad, you really don’t want to go with me?” He looked at the housekeeper reluctantly.
The housekeeper said happily: "Prince, you have your own life ahead, so I won't cause you any trouble. Furthermore, I swore in front of the graves of the master and his wife that he would help the girl take good care of the Xu Mansion as long as he lives. "
Xiao Kui sighed: "Okay, I respect dad's decision!"
At this time Xu Yin came in: "Steward, you can go to the capital with the prince to live for a while. I will also go to the capital to see the business of Qizhen Pavilion in a while. We will meet in the capital. If you feel that you are not adaptable to life there. , it won’t be too late to come back to Luo City with me then.”
Xiao Kui was ecstatic when he heard this: "Okay, okay! That's it! Dad, just agree to it!"
The housekeeper still hesitated: "But the house..."
"There is nothing going on in the house. I have made all the arrangements that need to be made." Xu Yin said, "Next, I won't be in the house, so you will have nothing to do if you stay here."
“Girl, are you planning to stay at Chashan Villa?”
"No." Xu Yin said, smiling at each other with Sikong Jin, "I will go outside with him, and maybe I can find some spices that are not available in the shop."
In this case, the housekeeper followed the girl's wish and went to the capital with Xiao Kui to stay for a while.
"Girl! You will definitely go to the capital to meet the old slave, right?"
"Of course!"
Xu Yin gave the old housekeeper a definite answer.
She thought that by following the jade-faced husband to explore the world, broaden her horizons, and travel all the way, she would be able to reach the capital in half a year, just in time to celebrate the New Year with the housekeeper, and return to Luo City after the new year to continue her career in perfumery.
Unexpectedly, her handsome husband is so capable of running away...
Before setting off, he and he paid homage to the ancestors of two families, and then set off to the first stop - Penglai Island, a paradise on earth.
Xiaoyao Xianweng had a residence here before, but now he gave it to his apprentice and his wife as a wedding gift.
The young couple landed on the island and stayed for a while, where they had a very sweet honeymoon.
After that, Xu Yin thought it was time to go to the capital, but no idea, he took her to the Tianshan Mountains to pick snow lotus and to dig for treasures in the Gobi.
I passed by sects that had friendship with him or Qianji Pavilion on the way, and went to visit (eat and drink) one by one.
On the pretext of being a "meeting gift", he shamelessly "cheated" several martial arts books suitable for her to practice from the hands of various masters, including sword manuals, whip techniques, and Qing Kung Fu, and stuffed them into her arms for her to keep. With.
“I’ll teach you when I have time.”
The heads of those sects almost endured the pain of cutting flesh to send them away.
If they stick around and don't leave, all the heads will probably cry.
