Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 652 Why was I banned?

Fortunately, although the carriage was simple, it was not something that ordinary people could afford. Although He Jiuniang was cautious, she didn't pay too much attention to it, and the two of them entered the door together.

Laughter could be heard in the distance, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that they were friends rather than enemies. It was good that they could spend the New Year in peace.

"That's enough, that's enough. The old lady is so polite. It's such a shame!"

As they approached, the middle-aged man's eager but smiling voice reached their ears. He Jiuniang raised her eyebrows. The voice was slightly familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

With this in mind, I went in and saw a thin man with a shrewd face. At this time, the man was rejecting Sun's kindness.

Mrs. Sun is giving New Year gifts to people, which are not very expensive things, but some food made by the family, such as pork or pickles, or some specialties brought from the capital and the capital, which are still eaten.

"You are back. Just in time, Butler Zhang is here to give New Year's gifts to our family. I will also give some gifts to Mr. Zhang in return."

When Mrs. Sun saw the couple, she greeted them as usual and explained the current situation.

He Jiuniang then remembered that this middle-aged man was the housekeeper of the magistrate's family. She had seen him several times before when he was treating the magistrate's daughter, and she was not very impressed.

When Butler Zhang saw the two of them, he didn't bother to refuse. He hurriedly saluted and said: "I have met the third master and the third lady. My lord sent me to deliver New Year's gifts and a greeting card by the way. My lord wants to celebrate the New Year." I'm coming to visit you on the second day of the new year. I wonder if you are free?"

When Lu Baichuan didn't come just now, he didn't say anything about the invitation for the time being. He was worried that the rest of the Lu family wouldn't know about Lu Baichuan's arrangements, and it would be embarrassing if the adults in his family came to miss him.

As Butler Zhang said, he took out a greeting card from his sleeve and presented it. Lu Baichuan opened it and saw the county magistrate's name written on the signature.

Although it was a greeting card sent by someone from the county magistrate, it was stated in the post that not only the magistrate and his family were coming that day, but also other officials and their families, and everyone wanted to visit together.

The New Year's gift that Butler Zhang just sent was also very valuable. In addition to food, there were also many treasures, all of which were taken care of to please.

However, Mrs. Sun only accepted the food and didn't ask for anything else. She also gave Butler Zhang a gift in return.

Although she is just a woman, she is smart and knows that her son is now a senior official and there are many people who want to curry favor with him. However, her family is not short of money now. Even if it is short, she can earn it by herself, so she will not pay such an expensive price. It's nothing but a favor to others.

When Lu Baichuan read the greeting card, He Jiuniang also took a look, guessing that the county magistrate must have discussed it. After all, there were so many officials in the county who had closer contact with his family. The county magistrate was asked to organize it. It's perfect to bring everyone here.

As a subordinate, it is normal to visit your boss during the Chinese New Year and holidays, and he knows etiquette very well, so he wrote a greeting note to ask. If the host doesn't want to, he can just refuse him directly.

He Jiuniang thought about it seriously. There should be nothing else to do during the Chinese New Year. Their family didn't seem to need the procedures for visiting relatives that other families should have.

The clan members are all in the same village, so it would be nice to just visit them during the first year of junior high school. Moreover, the county magistrate and the others came in the second year of junior high school, so they should have considered this issue.

It's enough to work together once, but it would be troublesome if they split into several waves.

So she didn't say anything, and Lu Baichuan nodded and said, "Come then, it just so happens that I can get to know you all."

Although he will go to the capital to work in the future, most of his family members will be here. Even if his family members have gone out, other clan members will still be here, and the foundation of his business will be here. They will have to rely on the protection of these officials in the county. As long as the other party is not too Even if it's too much, it's still necessary to have a good relationship.

Butler Zhang was very excited. He said goodbye to the Lu family and hurried back. Of course he didn't forget to bring the food given by Sun.Those were all given by Mrs. Lu personally. It would be a good idea to say it out, and the refusal just now was just for fun.

After Butler Zhang left, Mrs. Sun asked He Jiuniang, "What's going on with the Li family?"

"It's quite serious. He was beaten very badly. He may have to recover for several days."

He Jiuniang told the truth, briefly talking about sending the Zhang family to the cell, and then said to Shi and others: "After they come out, Zhang Li might be divorced by the Zhang family. You should pay more attention to her and don't let him have any trouble." Opportunities to do bad things.”

People like Zhang Li have bad nature and have taught their children badly. If they are really abandoned by the Zhang family, they may retaliate, so they must take precautions before they happen.

Lu Baichuan said: "Don't worry, I won't let her have another chance to make trouble."

The big things have been taken care of by his wife, so he can simply handle the small things. He has already made arrangements for Zhang Li's whereabouts, and he will just tell the county magistrate when the time comes.

Although it won't kill her, it will prevent her from harming others again.

As for the Zhang family's youngest son, he has already sent him to his biological father. That man has no son, and he didn't know that the Zhang family's youngest son was his baby before. Now that he knows, he will definitely raise him in the future. big.

Children are innocent. Even if Zhang Li and Zhang Chong do something wrong, they cannot let the child suffer. Moreover, the child is still young. Although his temper is a little crooked, as long as his biological father teaches him well, he will definitely be able to correct it. .

After doing this, you can be considered worthy of the Zhang family.

He Jiuniang nodded, that's fine, as long as Zhang Li doesn't harm others anymore.

Thinking of the officials who would come to visit on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the news of Lu Baichuan's promotion would definitely be revealed. In order to prevent the family from being unable to react, He Jiuniang gathered everyone in the main room after dinner and asked them to Tell everyone the news.

The original plan was to talk tonight, and He Jiuniang had already thought of her words. She briefly talked about what happened in the capital, and then said that Lu Baichuan had made great contributions and talked about his promotion.

"We were delayed in the capital for so long just to deal with King Lin's matter. After the matter was resolved, Bai Chuan made great contributions and was named a second-rank auxiliary general by the emperor. I also helped in that case. With a little help, I detoxified and poisoned everyone. When the emperor was happy, he gave me the title of First Grade Madam, and also gave one to my mother. We were supposed to send officials to the capital to report, but we felt that the journey was too long. Being far away was too troublesome, so we skipped that step, but we brought the imperial edict back."

Lu Baichuan: ...Just a small favor? ? ?

The small favor mentioned by his wife was shocking enough for others. The friendly forces benefited, the enemy lost even the Kuchazi, and the third prince of Dongting was still in jail.

He Jiuniang didn't care what Lu Baichuan was thinking. As she spoke, she took out the imperial edict and showed it to everyone. The Lu family were more or less literate now, and it was their first time seeing the imperial edict, and everyone read it excitedly.

Of course, everyone didn't grab it because they felt that the imperial edict was a sacred object and not something they could grab casually. They even placed it with Old Man Lu and Mrs. Sun, and everyone just stood around to look at it.

Mrs. Sun, who was holding the imperial edict in her hand, had not yet reacted. It took a long time before she asked: "What am I being sealed for?"

"Grandma, my mother said that you have been given the title of Madam, just like my mother!"

The puppy hugged Sun's thigh and his voice was very loud.

His father and mother are so powerful, and he is so proud of him. When he grows up, he will be as powerful as his father and mother, and earn a living for his grandma and mother!
