When the eldest daughter-in-law saw her father-in-law walking in, she bowed and prepared to leave.
Zhao Yu stopped her and asked, "Where is Boxuan?"
The eldest daughter-in-law replied: "My husband is working in the government office. Dad, are you looking for him?"
Zhao Yu thought for a while and told him, "Then don't worry about him. Call the two children and your brother-in-law, pack them up, and go out for the banquet with me."
"Oh, by the way, dress more simply." After that, he glanced at the eldest daughter-in-law's head full of gold hairpins and jewels, "Don't wear these on your head."
The eldest daughter-in-law just feels puzzled. Whose house is going to a banquet without dressing up in a grand manner?
Why do you have to do the opposite today?
Even if Xu Jiajun enters the city now, no one will say anything to her if she wears this to go to school to learn illiteracy.
However, the father-in-law specifically warned her, and the eldest daughter-in-law felt strange, so she still followed the instructions and took out the commoners she had specially borrowed from a distant relative when she went out of the city to greet the Xu family's army.
It's just that it's a bit too rude to dress like this.
After thinking about it, the eldest daughter-in-law untied her bun, made it into a simple and elegant bun, and inserted a carved wooden hairpin. Finally, she didn't look so rude.
The same goes for my two sons. Although they wear cloth clothes and shoes, they both choose the cleanest ones to wear.
Zhao Yu and his old wife also changed into clothes suitable for going out, and told their youngest son not to talk nonsense when he went out. Then at ten o'clock in the evening, they led the whole family to the door of Xu Yue's house.
The eldest daughter-in-law felt strange, "Isn't this the backyard of the church?"
Mrs. Zhao glanced at her husband Zhao Yu with surprise, "I heard that the leader's family is temporarily living in the backyard of this church. Are they going to the leader's house for a banquet?"
Just as he was talking, the three brothers Zhao Bei, who had just gotten off work and had changed into casual clothes, came over with Zhao Adou, who was jumping up and down.
The two uncles teased Zhao Adou, and Zhao Adou responded unkindly. Zhao Bei scolded him in a funny way, but he didn't take it seriously.
Zhao Yu's family heard the movement behind them and looked back, surprised and a little embarrassed.
The youngest son and two nephews of Zhao Yu's family looked at Zhao Adou's handsome mini version of Xu Jiajun's six-bag military uniform, and their eyes widened with envy.
Then I looked down at the old cloth clothes that the elders in the family insisted on changing into. They were clean, but they were dusty and not as good-looking as Zhao Adou's clothes.
Zhao Yu also noticed at a glance the clothes of the three Zhao Bei brothers. Although they were simple, the material was made of cotton.
Nowadays, cotton is more enviable than wearing satin, because satin can be bought with money, but cotton is simply unavailable.
Moreover, Zhao Bei also wore a jade pendant around his waist, which was low-key and luxurious.
Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun didn't care about these etiquettes. They even cut their hair short and tied it back like a cannon in the sky.
This reminded the Zhao Yu family of Xu Jiajun's custom of shaving his head when he first became an adult. At that time, he was extremely lucky that no one in his family had lice on his head.
Otherwise, the remaining gentry atmosphere will soon disappear.
"It's Mr. Zhao!"
Zhang Fei let out a loud voice of surprise, and looked at the old man in front of him in disbelief, fearing that he had seen it wrong.
Zhao Yun noticed the embarrassment on the faces of Zhao Yu and his family, and slapped Zhang Fei to signal him not to be so rude.
Zhang Fei raised his eyebrows, but couldn't help but mutter: "Why are you dressed like this? I remember that we didn't raid his house. With this look, those who don't know would think that Xu Jiajun did something to the kind-hearted former Youzhou governor.
It’s over..."
"Yide!" Zhao Bei shouted.
Zhang Fei was a good second brother to his eldest brother, so he immediately kept his mouth shut.
"Master Zhao is laughing." Zhao Bei was embarrassed to apologize for his second brother.
Zhao Yu waved his hand, "No problem."
"The three of you also came to the leader's house for a banquet?" Zhao Yu asked tentatively.
Zhao Bei said with a smile: "What a banquet? The leader just invited us to have a meal. Mr. Zhao, don't be nervous. I heard that the leader has something good again. Maybe we can learn a lot today."
Young Master Zhao couldn't help but curiously asked: "A good thing?"
Zhang Fei had just calmed down, but this time he couldn't help it anymore and rushed to answer: "I heard what kind of noodles it is."
"It's instant noodles!" Zhao Adou gave his second uncle a look that said he was an idiot.
Zhang Fei was so angry that he raised his hand and gave him a slap in the face, "You kid, you just have to have a good memory!"
Zhao Adou screamed when he was hit, rubbed his little head, and angrily wanted to hit Zhang Fei with his fist.
How could Zhang Fei let him fight?
With a dodge, Zhao Adou was thrown into the air.
Seeing that the two of them were still quarreling, Zhao Yun reluctantly brought Zhao Adou back, "Your second uncle is stupid, why do you want to make trouble with him? Come on, let's go up and knock on the door to see what delicious food the leader has prepared for us.
of."
Zhang Fei was angry: "Zhao Zilong, what did you say!"
The uncle and nephew ignored him at all. After all, it was in front of the leader's house. Zhang Fei was still wary, so he could only stare at the two of them angrily, but his body was honest and Dian Dian followed him.
Zhao Bei rubbed his brows helplessly, looked at the female family members of Zhao Yu who covered their mouths and snickered, shook his head, and made a greeting gesture to Zhao Yu.
The group of people came to the back of the door together. Zhao Bei looked at Zhao Yu's cautious appearance and couldn't help but feel a little sad when he remembered that he was once a high-spirited governor of a state and a member of the royal family.
At the same time, I was also glad in my heart that I was with the right camp.
"Master Zhao, actually you don't need to be so cautious. As long as you follow the rules of the Xu family, you can eat and wear whatever you want, and live a happy and idle rich life. That will be a beautiful life."
Knowing that Zhao Bei meant well, Zhao Yu smiled lightly at him, then turned to look at his family members who were extremely nervous because of him, lowered his eyes, and thought deeply.
"Sister Yue! We are here! Open the door!"
The wooden door "bang bang bang" sounded, and Zhao Adou's voice came in.
The twins who were playing in the yard immediately raised their eyes to see the three adults in the living room. One called them Auntie and the other called Aniang.
"Door, door!" Xu Dongbei shouted excitedly, alerting his family that someone was knocking on the door.
"That's pretty quick." Xu Yue handed the bucket of crushed ice to Xu Erniang, "Sister, come here, I'll open the door."
When passing by the twins, I asked the god who was looking after them to take the brother and sister into the room to play. There were so many people that I couldn't see the two naughty little ones for a while, so as not to cause any accidents.
Seeing the twins being taken down, Xu Yue opened the courtyard door.
Zhao Adou's little hand fell in the air and almost called down on her.
"Sister Yue!" Zhao Adou shouted happily.
Xu Yue rubbed the dull hair on his head and said, "I know it's you who's coming, so go in."
"Chief Xu." Zhao Yu and his family all bowed.
Xu Yue waved her hand, "This is not a government office. Everyone is free to do so. Come in quickly."
Mrs. Zhao and her daughter-in-law squatted slightly: "Thank you, chief."
Xu Yue laughed helplessly, but without further explanation, she opened the door and let Zhao Bei and others in.
