"Ms. Jiang, my son is now a scholar, and even the county magistrate has to show courtesy to him! I didn't ask you to kneel down to my son, which is already a shame for you. How dare you, a bitch, be so disrespectful to my son! "

Mrs. Li's bad temper couldn't bear the fact that Jiang Wei was so arrogant in front of her, so she immediately cursed in front of everyone, "I advise you to be wise and quickly prepare the food and invite us in! Otherwise, I will offend the scholar by you." If word gets out, I wonder if you want to lose your reputation!"

Hearing Mrs. Li's shameless words, Jiang Xiaoxiao could hardly help but laugh.

When the county magistrate meets you, you have to be polite? Does Mrs. Li think too highly of her son?

He is just a small scholar, not even qualified to be an official. How can he be compared with the county magistrate who is in charge of a whole county? I'm afraid this old lady Li is suffering from hysteria!

Just as Jiang Xiaoxiao was about to open his mouth to retaliate, Jiang Wei beside him suddenly said: "Want to serve on the table? Okay, Dagang, you go to the kitchen and bring out the empty table and set it for them."

Jiang Xiaoxiao glanced at Jiang Wei in surprise. She wondered what crooked idea her mother had in mind, and she actually agreed to let the Li family eat at the table?

Li Zheng quickly winked at his youngest son and told him to go quickly.

Li Shoude is now a scholar, and he doesn't dare to offend the idiots in his village. Xiao Xiaoniang is willing to treat them to dinner, so he naturally agrees.

Liu Dagang quickly moved the table out of the kitchen and placed it at the entrance of the courtyard in a very exclusive position.

The table was left over from an old house. It was shabby and short. There was a lot of oil stains on the tabletop that couldn't be washed away. It looked very unclean. It was usually used to pile up debris.

In order to show off in front of the villagers today, Li Shoude dressed up specially. He was wearing a brand-new gown, a scarf on his head, and boots that he usually couldn't bear to wear. He looked like a real scholar.

Therefore, when he saw this table, he immediately became unhappy: "Third sister-in-law, after all, I am also a scholar with a reputation, and you let me eat on such a dirty table?"

"If you don't want to eat it, forget it. No one is forcing you to serve it." Jiang Xiaoxiao muttered unhappily because of her young age.

This Li Shoude really opened a dyeing workshop just for some color. Does he really think that he is a scholar?

Others don't know how he got his reputation as a scholar, but she, who has read the original work, knows it very well. Don't think that something obtained by pickling is foolproof!
"Li Erya, how do you talk! Is this how your mother taught you!"

Li Shoude had been complimented by his family in the past few days, and he was a little carried away. He immediately put on the airs of an elder and lectured, "My Li family is now considered a scholarly family. You will talk back to your elders at a young age. Don’t go out then and insult the reputation of my Li family!”

"Oh, your Li family still has a reputation?" Jiang Xiaoxiao responded mercilessly. The bad things that happened to the Li family in the past few months have spread throughout the village. He still has the nerve to call himself a scholarly family. Where does he have the face? ?
Jiang Wei glanced sharply at the Li family and said in a cold voice: "I have already asked someone to set the table for you. If you continue to mess around and make trouble, I don't care if you are a scholar or not, I will find someone to kick you out immediately!"

Mrs. Li's neck shrank subconsciously when she caught Jiang Wei's cold gaze.

She glanced at the food on the table. It was as rich as she had ever seen, and her eyes immediately widened.

Good guy, cabbage stewed with pork, mapo tofu, egg-filled pancakes... These are good things that you can't even eat during the Chinese New Year. This little bitch Jiang is too generous! Mrs. Li instantly forgot the purpose of her trip and hurriedly pulled Mr. Li to sit down. Fighting and taking advantage were her best skills. Even if there was a big deal, she had to seize the meal before talking about it. !
Mr. Li couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he looked at the dishes on the table.

Without much hesitation, the old couple of the Li family bent over the table and began to eat as if they were starving ghosts reincarnated. The food was even more ugly than the two or three-year-old child.

Li Shoude looked a little ugly. He always felt that the table was not worthy of his current worth, so he stood there and refused to take a seat.

Mrs. Li didn't know what he was thinking at all. She pulled him to sit down with her shiny dirty hands and stuffed the half-eaten pork bones into his bowl. "Son, eat quickly, don't give the Jiang family any advantage!"

At this time, a petite woman behind Li Shoude covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief with a look of disgust.

Previously, Li Shoude was blocking the way, so no one saw that the old Li family had brought a woman over. Now as soon as Li Shoude sat down, the woman's face and figure were immediately revealed. She was wearing a water-red peony-patterned chest-length skirt and hair. The purple tassels inserted diagonally dazzled the villagers.

Jiang Xiaoxiao recognized at a glance that this woman was the one she had seen in the town before, Yun Ying.

"Hey, let me tell you, old man from the Li family, why do you bring outsiders over to eat with others?" Even though someone couldn't help but say something.

Mr. Li had a meal with a piece of fat in his mouth. In such a moment of confusion, the fat in his mouth fell on the table.

He stammered: "I, I...this, this is actually the person Shoude brought back from the state..."

"Didn't your Shoude go to town to take the merit test? If you want to bring someone with you, you can also bring a classmate back. How could you bring back a pretty woman?" Everyone laughed.

In fact, everyone knew Yunying's identity, but since Mrs. Li didn't make it clear, it was hard for them to tell her. After all, Li Shoude was now a scholar, and it was hard for everyone to offend.

"What about bringing a woman back? My son is a scholar, so naturally there are many women who want to follow him." Old Mrs. Li reached out to pick up the fat meat that Mr. Li dropped on the table and stuffed it into her mouth, saying that her son was Scholar.

Yun Ying watched Mrs. Li swallow the piece of fat in two gulps. A trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, but she suppressed it in a flash and introduced herself with a smile: "I am from Xuzhou, my family, my name is Yun Ying. Shoude first met in Xuzhou and fell in love at first sight..."

When she said the last few words, she glanced at Li Shoude with a shy expression.

Jiang Xiaoxiao silently shook the goosebumps on her body. Now she finally knew why the Li family couple suddenly appeared here today. In addition to deliberately showing off that Li Shoude passed the exam as a scholar, I am afraid it was also because of this Yun Ying...

"I'm talking about Lao Li's family. Your family is really lucky. Not only did your son pass the exam to become a scholar, but he also brought back such a pretty little wife. Your son will definitely achieve great things in the future!"

The compliments from the crowd instantly made Li Shoude straighten his back. He enjoyed the compliments from the villagers very much.
