Chapter 524 The male protagonist's cannon fodder cousin (47)
The next day was the great day for the Xu family to recruit a new wife.
The magistrate's family, Liu Yuanwai's family, Lin's family... all the prominent people in Luo City, except the Lu and Liang families, were present to congratulate and have a banquet.
Xiao Kui's identity was kept secret for the time being, so he appeared as a relative of the man. He temporarily ordered a batch of congratulatory gifts and carried them into the Xu Mansion.
The guests who came to the banquet once again sighed: "The ancestors of the Xu family have taken care of me. This uncle is so worth it!"
Xiaoyao Weng sat on the men's table, drinking wine happily.
The prefect accidentally glanced at him and felt that he looked familiar. He kept looking at him, and the more he looked at him, the more frightened he became. He pulled the master aside and asked quietly: "That... master, do you remember him?"
The master looked at it intently for a few times, then his face turned pale: "It looks very much like the person I met three years ago on the way to promotion?"
That year, they unfortunately ran into a fight between two groups of Jianghu people. One of them, an old man with gray hair, killed more than thirty top martial arts masters with a flick of his palm.
He was so frightened that they, non-charlatans, were trembling, for fear that he would kill him and silence him.
Fortunately, the other party was interested in drinking, so he hugged the wine gourd and left using Qinggong.
Recalling the frightened state of mind at that time, the prefect looked complicated.
It seems that this uncle of the Xu family has a really big background! From now on, we can only make good friends and never offend him!
Thinking this way, he looked kindly on the old butler who came to entertain the guests on behalf of the master's family.
The other guests couldn't figure it out: When did the prefect have such a good relationship with the Xu family? I haven't heard of him having any dealings with the Xu family?
The magistrate cleared his throat and said: "The greenhouse vegetables that Xu Mansion came up with are really good things. Otherwise, there would be no chance of eating refreshing and delicious spring vegetables in the cold winter months."
I see!
All the guests suddenly realized.
Then everyone rushed to toast Butler Xu, and they all got close to each other:
"Butler Xu, you look really good lately. You are getting stronger! You are getting stronger!"
"Butler Xu, how many greenhouse vegetables has Xu Mansion grown this year? Can you supply more to my family? Price is not an issue!"
"And our house..."
The old housekeeper didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Everyone! Don't be anxious! This year, several villages in our house have built greenhouses to ensure that everyone in the house can eat spring vegetables in the cold winter!"
"Steward Xu, last time I heard Mr. Lin say that the Xu Mansion provided expert advice when building the greenhouse in his village. Is this true?"
"It's true." Butler Xu nodded.
"Then if I want to build a greenhouse in my house and grow some spring vegetables by myself, would your house be willing to provide some expert advice? I can give you some silver."
Butler Xu hesitated: "This..."
"OK."
Xu Yin came out.
She took off her heavy crown, changed into a light headdress, wore a Xiapei wedding robe, and came with Sikong Jin to toast the guests.
From now on, I will attend various occasions as the host of the Xu family, and I will no longer hide in the bridal chamber on the wedding day.
She wished that these wealthy families would grow their own greenhouse vegetables, so that Xu Mansion would have enough vegetables to sell to the market, and ordinary people would be able to eat green vegetables in winter.
"Great!" The other party happily clapped his hands, "I will build a greenhouse when I return home! Mr. Xu, you must keep your word!"
"sure!"
"We will also build one in our house."
"That's right! If you build it yourself, you will have a steady stream of spring vegetables to eat. Count us in!"
Xu Yin nodded: "Yes, yes. But let me say something ugly up front. The initial investment in greenhouse planting is not small. You'd better think it through before making a decision."
Don't blame her when the time comes when you lose or compensate.
"It's okay, why don't you just spend some money! When I think about having spring vegetables to eat every day in winter, I will be happy no matter how expensive it is."
"That's right!"
"Dr. Xu, why don't you tell us how to build this greenhouse and how to plant it later, so that we can have some idea."
Xu Yin: You can do this. She is the best at it.
So, halfway through the wedding banquet, the process of toasting by the bride and groom turned into a greenhouse vegetable planting exchange meeting. Except for the bride Xu Yin, there was probably no one else in the world.
After the wedding banquet, Xiao Kui had to return to Beijing.
"Dad, you really don't want to go with me?" He looked at the housekeeper reluctantly.
The housekeeper said happily: "Prince, you have your own life ahead, so I won't cause trouble to you anymore. Furthermore, I swore in front of the graves of the master and madam that I will help the girl take good care of the Xu Mansion as long as I live."
"
Xiao Kui sighed: "Okay, I respect dad's decision!"
At this time Xu Yin came in: "Butler, you can go to the capital with the prince to live for a while. I will also go to the capital to see the business of Qizhen Pavilion in a while. We will meet in the capital. If you feel that you are not suitable for life there.
, it won’t be too late to come back to Luo City with me then.”
Xiao Kui was ecstatic when he heard this: "Okay, okay! That's it! Dad, just agree to it!"
The housekeeper still hesitated: "But the house..."
"There's nothing going on in the mansion. I've made all the arrangements that need to be made." Xu Yin said, "Next, I won't be in the mansion anymore, so you'll have nothing to do if you stay here."
"Girl, are you planning to stay at Chashan Villa?"
"No." Xu Yin said, looking at each other and smiling at Sikong Jin, "I will go with him for a walk outside, and maybe I can find some spices that are not available in the shop."
In this case, the housekeeper followed the girl's wishes and went to the capital with Xiao Kui to stay for a while.
"Girl! You will definitely go to the capital to meet up with me, right?"
"Of course!"
Xu Yin gave the old housekeeper a definite answer.
She thought that she would follow the jade-faced husband to explore the world, broaden her horizons, and travel all the way. After half a year, she would be able to reach the capital, just in time to celebrate the New Year with the housekeeper, and return to Luo City after the new year to continue her great career in perfumery.
Unexpectedly, her handsome husband is so good at running away...
Before departure, we worshiped the ancestors of two families with him, and then set off to the first stop - Penglai Island, a paradise on earth.
Xiaoyao Xianweng had a residence here before, but now he gave it to his apprentice and his wife as a wedding gift.
The young couple went to the island to stay for a while and spent a very sweet honeymoon there.
After that, Xu Yin thought it was time to go to the capital, but unexpectedly, he took her to the Tianshan Mountains to pick snow lotus and to dig for treasures in the Gobi.
On the way, I passed by sects that had friendship with him or Qianji Pavilion, and went to visit (eat and drink) one by one.
On the pretext of being a "meeting gift", he shamelessly "cheated" several martial arts books suitable for her to practice from the hands of various masters, including sword manuals, whip techniques, and Qing Kung Fu, and stuffed them into her arms for her to keep.
With.
"I'll teach you tomorrow when I have time."
The heads of those sects almost endured the pain of cutting flesh to send them away.
If they stick around and don't leave, all the heads will probably cry.
