Grandma Xiangxing was not sure what Lin Xiaoman meant, but when she saw Lu Jin, who had sat down next to Lin Xiaoman, looking at her with eyes as cold as ice, she knew she didn't like her talking too much.

.

Grandma Xiangxing shrank her neck and took a few steps back.

Xu Hongda was enjoying the good relationship between his wife and the princess when he suddenly heard a pleasant voice asking: "Are you the child student who passed the exam last year?"

Xu Hongda was startled when he saw the county magistrate staring at him. He was obviously smiling and looked very kind, but he was still so nervous that he had nowhere to put his hands and feet.

"Sir, the student is the student who passed the exam last year."

Lu Jin saw that he was nervous and chuckled, "Your wife and the princess are sisters. The princess and I are engaged. From now on, we are brothers-in-law and we are all one family. You don't have to be afraid."

Xu Hongda was stunned by Lu Jin's words. How did he become brother-in-law with the county magistrate?

Also, Xiangxing and Princess Qingping are sisters, why didn’t she tell her family?

If I had known she still had this level of identity, how could anyone in the family dare to plot against her?

Listening to what the county magistrate means again, in the future in Qingping County, as long as he does not go too far, the county magistrate will take more care of him.

Thinking of this, Xu Hongda became excited. He started talking more and more, and his fear of Lu Jin was no longer the same as before. After all, this relationship was enough for him to boast in the academy for a year.

In the evening, the couple stayed at Xiangxing's house.

The married daughter brought her uncle back to her parents' home. According to the rules, they were not allowed to have the same room. Fortunately, Xiangxing's family made a lot of money this year, and the family house was also expanded.

Xu Hongda was assigned to a guest room that was usually unoccupied.

Lin Xiaoman and Xiang Xing hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they didn't go back to their home at night, but stayed to talk to Xiang Xing.

From time to time, Xu Hongda looked at the lights in Xiangxing's room that were kept on all night, and he couldn't help but feel distressed.

The Xu family can only be regarded as an ordinary family in Qingping County. Because of his education, the family has always lived frugally. After Lin Xiangxing married in, all the expenses for his education were paid for by Xiangxing, and the talented people in the family drank white rice porridge from time to time.

.

But except for when he was reading at night by candlelight, if he dared to light the lamp like this for one night, he would also be scolded by the old lady in the Xu family.

Let’s take a look at the ingredients prepared by Lin Xiangxing’s family for the old lady’s birthday tomorrow. A pig, three sheep, dozens of live chickens, and fish kept in a tank... Even when he married Lin Xiangxing, he was nothing more than

I just killed a pig.

Sure enough, everyone in Hedong Village is rich. No wonder Xiangxing’s family was dissatisfied with the Xu family’s behavior and sent two wives over.

Also, the emperor’s personally appointed princess, as well as the county magistrate, are all on good terms with Xiangxing’s family. When he goes back, he must tell his family all these things, especially his mother who wants to play off her mother-in-law’s authority.

, she must not be allowed to treat Xiangxing like before, otherwise she will go back to her parents’ home to file a complaint with the princess. Will the Xu family still want to establish a foothold in Qingping County?

However, farming seems to be really profitable. Why don't you let Xiang Xing talk to the princess and get two pieces of land for the Xu family?

If they have land and income, the Xu family will not always focus on their wife’s dowry. His wife’s dowry belongs to their family!

Thinking of this, Xu Hongda became excited.

Well, let's not talk about the relationship between the wife and the princess when we get back. Let's talk about what we saw and heard in Hedong Village. When the family members are willing to go farming, then slowly reveal these to them. Otherwise, what will happen to them?<

/p>

When I got up early the next day, Lin Xiangxing’s courtyard was filled with large round tables.

Last year, Lin Daqiang asked carpenters to make dozens of large round tables, which were placed in the utility room next to the ancestral hall. As long as someone in the village was doing business, they could borrow them just by saying.

Nowadays, when doing things in the village, there is no need to borrow a table from the east family and a table from the west family. They use the big round tables made in the village.

One table can seat twelve people, and there are dozens of round tables, enough for everyone in the village.

Lin Xiangxing's family only borrowed ten tables today. It's not that there aren't that many guests, but they plan to set up running water tables so that they can be lively all day long.

The family hired a theater troupe and set up a stage outside the courtyard where they sang and sang. The audience was crowded with people. When they heard that hiring such a theater troupe cost ten taels of silver a day, Xu Hongda couldn't help but click his tongue.

Smelling the aroma of vegetables wafting from the kitchen, Xu Hongda couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He didn't know which restaurant the chef hired from. The aroma was simply amazing.

The Xiangxing family invited the chefs from Songhelou this time. Since Lin Dajiao invited them to help when she got married, everyone in the village felt that the chefs from Songhelou were good at cooking. They were invited to do almost everything in the village.

Help.

There is more than one chef in Songhe Tower, and they all work in rotation.

The shopkeeper of Songhelou waved his hand, and when working, whichever chef had a break would be asked to take over the work. The money earned would be divided between Songhelou and Songhelou. If Songhelou had two, the chef would get eighty.
p>

It can be regarded as a little reward for them supporting the Songhe Tower.

But one thing is that the chef cannot delay the restaurant's business. In order to take on more private work, Songhe Tower recruited a group of chefs. But just like that, Songhe Tower has endless banquets every day, and there are also receptions from outside.

Endless work.

But no matter what, as long as Hedong Village wants to hold a banquet, the chefs from Songhelou will take over Hedong Village first, even if they recommend others.

Who makes Princess Qingping so grand that she can cook a few dishes from time to time to attract customers to Songhe Tower?

When the banquet started, there were not only fish, meat, chicken, and duck on the table, but also vegetables that were rare to see at the beginning of spring.

They are all grown in a greenhouse by my family specifically for this birthday. Even if we look outside, let alone Qingping County, we won’t find anyone with this row of noodles.

As the new uncle, Xu Hongda was taken care of at the table and was even called by the county magistrate to sit next to him.

Being able to eat at the same table with the county magistrate was something Xu Hongda had never dared to imagine before, let alone that after the county magistrate got acquainted with him, he called him brother-in-law, which made Xu Hongda even more flattered.

The banquet started at noon and they drank until the sun went down. Xu Hongda was helped back to the guest room, while Lu Jin was carried back to Lin Xiaoman's house by the Qing bookshelf.

After waking up early and sobering up, Xu Hongda was in a daze for a long time before he remembered that he and the county magistrate drank together last night and both of them were very drunk.

He suddenly sat up from the kang, but he still seemed to be in a dream.

A soft voice came from outside the window, "Xiang Xing, my uncle is quite good at drinking."

Xu Hongda recognized the voice of his mother-in-law Shen Guihua, and the tone sounded like she was a little dissatisfied with him drinking.

As soon as her heart started to rise, she heard Lin Xiangxing say: "He doesn't drink on weekdays. Yesterday, he probably drank at the same table with the county magistrate. He was so happy that he was so happy."

Shen Guihua chuckled softly after hearing this, "Xiaoman, my future husband, is a very nice person. He doesn't show any official airs at all. Didn't you see that when Xiaoman's family was farming, he would come over to help whenever he had free time, and would roll up his trouser legs. When I go to the field, I don’t look like a scholar at all. I heard that Xiaoman and I compete with each other to do household chores, unlike those big men who come home and wait for women to serve them like uncles."

"Well, the county magistrate is quite rare, and Xiaoman is very lucky."
