Chapter 78 Attitude Determines Identity

On this day, Xi'er's family woke up early, and before dawn, they asked the cook to deliver a basket of fresh peaches to Xiao's family, and told them that they would go first, and then they would go to collect them all by themselves. government.

The three of Xi'er didn't eat breakfast, got dressed and got into the carriage and drove to the county seat.

Mrs. Luo was afraid that Ji Kang would not know about this, and the car would go astray when returning, so she urged her to hurry on her way.

She looked at the half-carriage of gifts and asked, "Girl, you didn't mean to bring the products from our workshop?"

"Why not, our family's products are all good things. You don't know the county magistrate Qi. If you give expensive ones, you will be kicked out of his house. Xiao Jian's family also prepared a basket of peaches. Our family prepared a basket of peaches. more than them"

"Can you prepare this for my birthday?"

"Mother, the longevity peach that Xiao Jian sent, I gave apples, the meaning is good, those cans are just for others to taste, it's not considered a gift"

"If this sounds good, the county magistrate seems to be different."

"It is a blessing for the people that he is like this, so you don't have to be afraid of him, he is very kind"

The carriage drove all the way south, fortunately got up early, arrived at the gate of the school, Ji Kang was carrying a cloth bag, looking left and right, he didn't know about the banquet.

"Brother! Have you been waiting long?"

"Sister, you're here, you didn't make a mistake at all"

"Rush here before dawn, without even eating breakfast, are you trying to exhaust me and mother to death?"

"Mother is here too?"

"Yes, today is the mother's birthday of County Magistrate Qi, and he invited our family over. Let's get in the car and find a place to have breakfast first."

The family found a small restaurant, ordered four bowls of wontons, and ate five baskets of small buns.

"Brother Xiao Jian, where are they?"

"Sister Qiao is heavy and won't arrive until later. Let's have a meal and find a place to sit and go later. It's impolite to go so early."

"Sister is right, why don't we go to a teahouse? There is a guy who looks after the car over there, drink some tea and listen to someone talk for a while?"

"Okay, my mother hasn't been there yet, so let's go to the teahouse for a while"

Mrs. Luo felt very restrained as soon as she came out, and she could do whatever her children asked her to do, and she got used to it after a lot of watching and walking around.

Xi'er didn't know what she was thinking, she couldn't do anything in the car anyway.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Luo fell in love with listening to books in the teahouse. They found a place close to the table. Mrs. Luo drank tea and was fascinated by the storytelling. She didn't even eat the snacks on the table. Yes, with your mouth slightly open, listening to that is a pleasure.

Before leaving, Mrs. Luo showed a look of reluctance. Seeing Mrs. Luo like this, Xi'er wanted to do something for her mother.

If it's more than 100 miles a day, and I go to the county just to listen to books, then Mrs. Luo will not be exhausted to death.

Even if you don't go every day, you can't do it every other day.

There are also teahouses in the town, but they are the ones that simply drink tea and have a rest, there is no singing, singing or storytelling at all. It seems that after going back, I will discuss it with the owner of the teahouse, not for anything else, but for my own mother’s good. For this one, I have to get a storyteller to come to town.

Ji Kang and Xi'er were sitting in front of the car together, with smiles on their faces, and they only saw their daughter-in-law once a month, so they were really thinking about it.

When they came to the gate of Qi Mansion, they happened to meet Xiao Jian and the others. Two carriages drove into Qi Mansion from the side door one after the other.

Everyone got out of the car, only to see Magistrate Qi in casual clothes, coming out of the front hall to greet them.

"Brother Xiao Jian, siblings, Luo Xi'er? Ji Kang? This is Mrs. Luo, right?"

"Grassmen see Lord Qi"

"Be polite, be polite, it's not a court, you don't have to pay attention to that, everyone who comes is a guest, please come in, please come in"

When Mrs. Luo saw that County Magistrate Qi was so approachable, she relaxed her nervousness a little. Nanny Zhou supported her and whispered something in her ear as she walked.

As soon as they entered the living room, everyone inside greeted Xiao Jian warmly. Even Mrs. Qi, who was sitting at the top, looked at Xiao Jian and his wife with smiles on their faces. Their attitude determined Xiao Jian's identity.

"It's late to count you guys, everyone is here, it's just you who are missing"

"Xiao Jian and his wife, I wish the old lady a blessing like the East China Sea and a longer life than Nanshan"

The two saluted Mrs. Qi, and the servant carried a basket of big peaches into the house.

Seeing such delicious peaches, the old lady burst into laughter immediately.

"Thank you, you can get such peaches this season, if you are interested, sit down quickly"

Mrs. Luo took a deep breath, stepped forward with the help of Nanny Zhou, and saluted Mrs. Qi.

"Baishu Town, Luo Xiurong and his children wish the old lady a safe life and everything goes well"

"Yuan'er, who are these?" Mrs. Qi looked at Qi Yuan.

"This is a well-known farming expert in our county. He has a close relationship with Brother Xiao's family, so his son invited him over together. Let's have a good time."

Xi'er's gift was also delivered to the front hall. It was a big basket of bright red apples and many jars. She didn't introduce it to the crowd. Mrs. Qi was very happy to see it, so she quickly got someone to move it to the side, and hurriedly got up to help Hold Mrs. Luo's hand.

"Please sit down, please sit down, Mrs. Luo is about the same age as me, I will help you, just call me sister Qi"

"It's good that the old lady doesn't dislike my sister"

At this time, Mrs. Luo felt that this old lady was really kind, and it made her feel warm in her heart.

"Why would you dislike it? Back then, our family was also a farmer, so don't dislike anyone else"

The words sounded very kind, but Xi'er saw a little bit of other meaning in Mrs. Qi's eyes.

Except for the Luo family in the living room, they are all acquaintances. Qi Yuan took Ji Kang and Xi'er and introduced them to each other.

Those who came to celebrate Mrs. Qi's birthday today included three of Qi Yuan's best friends, his younger brother's family, and his younger sister's family. Among them, Ji Kang and Xi'er were the youngest.

There was something inexplicable hidden in their eyes, which only Xi'er could see.

Qi Yuan looked at the time and asked people to start serving food. There were five tables in the front hall, one table could accommodate eight people, and the number of people coming was not too small.

The three members of the Luo family, Xiao Jian and his wife, and another family of three sat at the same table.

It stands to reason that apart from the age of the old birthday star here, Mrs. Luo is older.

Now that he recognized his sister, he should be at the same table as the old birthday star, but the housekeeper arranged Mrs. Luo to be at the table of the younger generation.

Xi'er felt a little upset, but she didn't say anything. Mrs. Luo usually didn't pay much attention to these things, so she didn't notice anything.

Although there was no big banquet today, the guests who came here kept toasting the old birthday star. Xiao Jian made a toast to Mrs. Qi on behalf of their husband and wife.

It was Ji Kang's turn to toast, the old lady smiled and took a sip of her wine, looked at Ji Kang, "How old is it?"

"eighteen"

"Is there any reading?"

"Currently studying at Egret College"

"The college in the county seat?"

"Um"

"Not bad, have you ever been off the stage?"

"I went to the field in April, and I was lucky to have a child"

"It's really scary for young people, promising, promising."

At this time, Mrs. Qi's enthusiasm for him seemed to increase a few degrees, and the eyes in the presence also paid a little more attention to the Luo family.

Just as Ji Kang was about to sit down, Mrs. Qi suddenly asked, "Is there an engagement?"

Ji Kang was taken aback, then looked at Xi'er, "Students put their studies first, and don't consider marriage for now."

"It's not too young. It is said that you get married first and then start a career. If you have a suitable one, you have to look after each other."

“Students don’t have time and don’t want distractions”

Mrs. Qi acted as if she didn't hear his words, "I have a beautiful niece who lives far away. I think you are quite suitable. Why don't we book it now?"

Ji Kang's face is quite ugly, does this old lady have no ears?He clearly refused twice, and he kept talking to himself.

So he lowered his head, intending not to respond to her words, but at this moment Qi Yuan said:
