Chapter 164: The Luo Family's Attitude
Mr. Wang, the vacancy of the county magistrate lies directly in Yijiang County. The head of a county cannot be a local, but the county magistrate can be. This time, the Yijiang County magistrate has made great achievements in major issues such as tuberculosis and trafficking. Almost
All of them have been promoted, but of course none of them have been promoted several levels in a row like Master Wang. Everyone thinks that the most important thing is that Master Wang gave birth to a good son and worshiped Master Taifu as his master.
Naturally, these officials did not know that the third prince was recuperating in the royal residence, otherwise they would not be able to praise the Wang family's fortune.
On April 28th, the Wang residence was filled with joy. Mr. Wang and Wang Xin were dressed in new clothes. He and Mrs. Wang greeted guests at the gate early. The county government officials had received promotion notices, but all the officials in the county government offices who had not handed over the transfer had come.
.
Luo Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan came neither early nor late, but Mr. Tao didn't come. He was impatient with this, not to mention that it was their home court. He was so high-level that others couldn't let go.
"Master Luo." As soon as Luo Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan got out of the car, Master Wang and Mrs. Wang came forward to greet them.
"Sir Wang." Luo Wenqian returned the greeting, with the appointment document in hand. He was already an official, and he had to take care of the official entertainment.
"Mrs. Luo, let's go to the backyard." Mrs. Wang gave in and asked Chen Xiuyan to go ahead. It was different from the past practice. In the past, even if Luo Wenqian was a candidate, there was no rank. Now he has suddenly become the general judge of the sixth rank, with such a high starting point.
, there is no one with a higher official position than him in Yijiang County, so Chen Xiuyan walked calmly.
In the backyard hall, Mrs. Wang sits at the top. She is the oldest person who can sit in this position. However, Mrs. Wang will get up when she meets a family member who is higher than Mr. Wang. She is very considerate in etiquette.
"Mrs. Luo is here." When Chen Xiuyan entered the room, all the women and ladies in the room all stood up and greeted her with smiling faces, looking at Chen Xiuyan with warm kindness.
A sentence flashed through Chen Xiuyan's mind, when you become famous, there will be no bad people around you, only good people.
Although these official wives and daughters of officials were not hostile to Chen Xiuyan before and could be called polite, they were definitely not as complimentary as they are now. This is the change brought about by their position of power.
Chen Xiuyan also had her own way of dealing with people. She first said hello to Mrs. Wang, then returned greetings to the ladies according to their official positions, and finally sat next to Cai Jiaoyu's wife, Sun.
"Mrs. Wang, don't worry about me. I will kiss my future in-laws first." Chen Xiuyan's words made everyone present smile, and also made Sun Beng'er feel proud.
Ever since the news came that Luo Wenqian was the top scholar in high school, how many people in Yijiang County said that Cai Jiaoyu had eyesight. Even if Luo Mingqing did not pursue an official career, as long as he relied on the Luo family, he would be respectfully called Young Master Luo when he walked out.
It was clearly stated that they would not take concubines. Many girls in the boudoir thought of a good family, but the Cai family took it early.
It's not impossible that some merchants wanted to send their daughters to the Luo family to be Luo Wenqian's concubines. Chen Xiuyan really didn't get involved, because all their thoughts were blocked at Luo Wenqian's place. How many people in the house envied Chen Xiuyan, and they were digging in the ground.
Born as a foodie, because men strive for success, they will be married to women in the future.
"This is Xiang'er, right?" Although Chen Xiuyan had met Sun a few times, this was the first time she saw Cai Baoxiang. She looked like a little bird and looked very delicate, giving people a pure sense of confusion. Such a little
What a lovely girl.
Chen Xiuyan immediately sent a small box out, which contained the ring she had liked in the capital. She bought two pairs for Luo Mingqing and Cai Baoxiang, one pair for Luo Mingqing to send by herself, and the other pair for Chen Xiuyan to send.
Inside the small square box is a transparent jade ring. It is simple, but the mutton-fat jade is of high quality and exquisite in workmanship. Chen Xiuyan personally put it on Cai Baoxiang, and it was just the right size.
What does this mean? It shows that people attach great importance to their future niece-in-law, and they can even feel the size of the ring accurately.
"This is a pair. The other one has been given to Ming and Qing. I just wanted to wear this one for you today." Chen Xiuyan made no secret of her love for Cai Baoxiang. The two were obviously similar in age, but Chen Xiuyan was the same.
Share the momentum of being an elder.
Cai Baoxiang bowed and thanked her, expressing her joy. Mrs. Cai's smile also deepened on her face. Today, Chen Xiuyan came to save face for her daughter, and she felt very comfortable.
After finishing her interesting remarks, Chen Xiuyan sat in the first seat assigned to her by the king's house. She adapted well. This time she went to the capital, and she had two nuns from the palace to give guidance at home. Chen Xiuyan dealt with it very appropriately and made everyone present.
Madam’s heart is filled with excitement, and the Luo family cannot underestimate her.
This kind of banquet is actually about telling interesting things together, then having a meal, and at most the host family arranges to watch a play. There are many officials and family members who talk to Chen Xiuyan, and their words are full of flattery. Chen Xiuyan smiles and is humble, and then tells the capital
He recounted some of his experiences, and then expressed his longings and worries for the future, which also aroused resonance. After all, the adults in the Yijiang County government office were almost moved. They encouraged each other and the relationship became closer.
In the front yard, Luo Wenqian was treated similarly to Chen Xiuyan. Today was mainly official business, but some big merchants were also invited. This time no one said anything about having a concubine or marrying in front of Luo Wenqian, but giving gifts in private was
Quite a few, they may also have noticed that this newly appointed master is henpecked, not into women, and loves money.
Luo Wenqian didn't know what they thought of him. If he knew, his reputation as a henpecker wouldn't sound bad, but he loved money, and he was the one who loved money in the family. He took what he could, not just anyone's money.
of.
Luo Wenqian may have been born to be an official. He has a flexible mind and can think clearly. Mr. Tao is not a vulgar person. He once taught Luo Wenqian that he is not a serious official if he doesn't get a cent. Such an official is not easy.
Ascending, and only when a person reaches a certain position can he have bigger ideas and have his own authority in serving the people. Isn't this also a way?
As an official, you must not be pedantic, rigid, stubborn, or greedy. Luo Wenqian learned quickly and did well.
At the end of the banquet, it was already getting dark. Luo Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan came out to ride in a donkey cart. The driver was a man given by the Holy Spirit. When they had time, the two of them rested peacefully in the carriage.
"Tomorrow I will ask the matchmaker to go to Cai's house to inquire. We have to set a date." Chen Xiuyan drank a few glasses of peach blossom wine tonight, and her breath was filled with the fragrance of fruit wine when she spoke.
Luo Wenqian drank a lot, and his ears could not hear the rest. His eyes only saw the sweet smell facing him. He stepped forward and swallowed the other person's words. 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. Fortunately, she had the excuse of drinking.
