Chapter 343
Hearing Li Tian's voice, Cheng Xue hurriedly got up, straightened her clothes, and opened the door to come out.

Seeing the little girl running up to her, he took her hand and asked:
"Who's here?"

"Yes... it's a woman surnamed Su. She said... Mrs. Gu asked her to come, and my sister is in front. Mother, let her come here?"

Cheng Xue nodded, and waved to Shun Xi who was not far away, while she led Li Tian back to the room.

The surname Su, Mrs. Gu sent her here. If I guessed correctly, this should be the personal nurse next to Mrs. Gu.

I really didn't expect that her small temple could be patronized by people. As the saying goes, "a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door", this Mrs. Su might be a ninth-rank official even if she doesn't have a seventh-rank.

Soon, Bai Shao opened the door and came in, followed by the woman who was dressing up nicely.

Seeing that she was politely saluting without putting on airs, Cheng Xue felt a little relieved.

"Mommy, no courtesy, Bai Shao will give me a seat."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Thank you, Mrs. Li." Mrs. Su stood up and sat on half a stool.

After Bai Shao served hot tea, she stood next to Cheng Xue. Mrs. Su bowed again and said:
"Mrs. Li, our wife asked this old slave to come over and congratulate you. Now that Li has not been appointed, he is probably going to enter the Hanlin Academy."

Liangyan in another world is different from the ancient times they know, no matter what rank they get in the scientific examination here, they are all sent out to be officials.If you want to enter the Hanlin Academy, you must have five years of overseas political achievements, otherwise it is impossible.

If someone else came to congratulate her today, she would never believe it.But this person was sent by Mrs. Gu, is there really a special case?Although the Hanlin Academy is mainly engaged in editing and other affairs, it is still very helpful for Li Hui's inner planning to take up important positions in the capital.

Thinking of this, Cheng Xue twirled her tea cup and said with a smile:
"If it is true according to what you said, then I will definitely ask someone to wrap a big red envelope for you."

"Okay, I'll wait for Mrs. Li's words. This is an invitation from our wife. I hope you will honor me in three days' time."

As she spoke, Mrs. Su got up, and came over with a golden letter, and put it on the table.

Check it out, Madam Gu's birthday will be three days later, please invite her to the house for a happy meal.

"Thank you Mrs. Gu for me. As long as there is nothing wrong in three days, I will go to the banquet."

Mrs. Su was startled for a moment when she heard this, then she chuckled and said:
"Old slave, I know you are busy, Mrs. Li, but our lady's banquet will be helpful to you and to the second-placed Li."

"So, I won't miss such a good opportunity." Cheng Xue responded with a smile, "But if something irresistible happens, I can't help it, right?"

Granny Su thought quickly and immediately understood what she meant.

"Mrs. Li is right, the old slave is stupid, you are the smart one."

People eat whole grains, and if they catch a cold, it is really inconvenient to go there.What's more, the banquet is three days later, who knows what will happen in these three days.

Seeing that she was doing so well, Cheng Xue personally sent her out of the main house, Mrs. Su was flattered, and after another respectful salute, she left with Bai Shao.

"Mother, is this the banquet of the rich family that Mr. Lian mentioned? Will mother go?"

"I don't know." Cheng Xue shook her head, "I need to discuss this matter with your father. If you can go, mother will take you."

"What about my elder sister?"

"You're still young, so it's okay to take it with you. If you take your sister to that kind of banquet, I'm afraid others will have other ideas or suspect you as a mother."

After finishing speaking, he lightly scratched the bridge of the girl's nose, and said:
"What is your sister doing at home?" "Together with Sister Yao, making cotton padded clothes for us. Sister Yao got a few bolts of high-quality material, so it fits comfortably."

Cheng Xue got up upon hearing this, and took her by the hand to go to her daughter's yard.Regarding the matter assigned by Li Hui, they did not go to Elder Pang. If the old man wanted to talk, he would tell him on the day Xiao Qinglin left. Otherwise, he would not be able to find out.Pang Lao hadn't been here since her grandparents came home, but Pang Yao came a few times, but she couldn't ask her children about it.

"Madam is here." Gingguo bowed and went down to prepare tea.

On the kang in the room, two little girls were flocking cotton. Pang Yao learned from Li Yue last winter, but he did not expect it to be successful.

"Auntie came to touch the material. It was given to my grandfather by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. My grandfather asked me to use it to make cotton clothes for you."

Cheng Xue sat down and patted cooperatively——

"Good stuff, what's this called?"

"Auntie, this is made of mulberry silk. It is durable, soft, and strong. Tangtang and I have calculated that we can make two for each of you and Mr. Wen."

Two bodies?It's too extravagant.

Cheng Xue couldn't help shaking her head, and hurriedly stopped and said:
"It's enough to use so much, each person can wear it. Don't waste materials, you and..."

"Oh, auntie, just listen to me." Pang Yao coquettishly interrupted her, "Grandfather and I's cotton clothes, Mama Mama has already bought them for us. If the material doesn't fit properly, it will be attacked by bugs in Futian Oh, what a pity!"

Seeing the little girl's sad eyes, Cheng Xue immediately refused and nodded hurriedly.

"Okay, okay, listen to you, listen to you."

I think there should be no "mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problems" between them in the future. They started getting along at such a young age and have been working together for so many years, so they will definitely be harmonious.

Temporarily throwing the Gu family's invitation behind, took over the work in Li Yue's hands, and threaded the needle.

No need to ask, everyone knows that this body is made for Li Hui.His cotton padded clothes need to be replaced, the ones made in the south last year are no longer in good shape.Logically speaking, the south is warmer than Liaodong, but the humidity there is very heavy. When northern men like Li Hui and Zhou Fei went there, their hands and ears were frostbitten, and they couldn't take off their cotton-padded clothes.

The ones who come here for the past few days leave early and come back late, and there is no news at all. It is really impossible for the two of them to chat at night, so don't go out tomorrow, it's really tiring.

"Choo-choo-choo-"

"Have a cold? Go back, I can do the rest by myself..."

"No, no, it's just a sudden itchy nose." Li Hui interrupted Zhou Fang's words by shaking his head, and continued to help him copy the books.

That day I wanted to come over to ask about his faction, but I didn't expect to meet Zhou Fang, who had compiled the government affairs bookkeeper of the Ministry of Officials for the past five years.There are so many things that should not be done by the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but it is really him who does it.Li Hui thought that he was fine anyway, so he simply stayed to help.

This group lasted for several days, leaving early and returning late every day, except writing.Even though he had a lot of doubts in his heart, he never asked, and just wrote what he wanted to write honestly.

"That kid Jingyu is about to enter the Liaodong mansion according to his footsteps?"

Li Hui thought for a moment, nodded, and said:

"If there is no delay on the way, we will enter the border of Liaodong tonight, and we will reach Pingyang County in ten days."

The magistrate of Pingyang County originally prepared by the Xiao family for Xiao Qinglin was taken over by Zhou Fei.The last time the No. [-] dispatched was from the fifth grade. It can only be said that the Xiao family underestimated Young Master Xiao, and it just so happened that the Zhou family missed it...
