In just half an hour, Long Jiaowan came back with large and small bags.
They are all gifts prepared for the Xu family, the Yan family, as well as the Liu family and the Xia family.
Perhaps with the background of the Gongsun family, they would not appreciate the gifts she had carefully prepared, but this was the best that Long Jiaowan could prepare.
"I don't know if it's enough. How about I ask someone to go home and ask my parents to bring back some fat chickens so that the old lady and the ladies can replenish themselves?"
Long Jiaowan looked at Xu Yue anxiously and nervously, asking for her opinion.
Xu Yue looked at the rich gift in her hand and waved her hand, "That's enough, I'm going empty-handed."
Hearing Xu Yue's joke, Long Jiaowan couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, but soon felt that it was inappropriate for her to do so and suppressed her smile.
"Then let's go. If it's too late, we won't have time to prepare dinner." Xu Yuechong raised her chin encouragingly to Long Jiaowan.
Long Jiaowan nodded and carefully placed the gifts in the carriage. Then she boarded the carriage with Xu Yue and Jun Mei and set off for Gongsun Wubao.
A large concrete road leads directly to Gongsun Wubao, and you can get there in less than half an hour.
It was the slack time for farming, and the people in Wubao were either sitting under the big trees and bragging, or patrolling the fields, thinking about what they could plant.
There are also many children singing proverbs and playing in the cleared rice fields.
Not far away, on the bank of the river, the fragrance of beans came from the tofu mill. The idle farmers came out of the tofu mill with loads of tender tofu, hurrying up and selling it in the city.
Blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and green waters, children playing and old people talking about ancient times, it is a beautiful picture of the countryside.
Xu Yue took a deep breath and felt that the air in the mountains was extremely fresh.
"It's so beautiful." Jun Mei also opened the curtains and sighed: "I have lived here before, and I have never felt that this place has been so beautiful."
Xu Yuedao: "Maybe it was because the problem of food and clothing had not been solved at that time, and there was no time to pursue higher spiritual satisfaction."
Junmei nodded, thinking Xu Yue was right.
The carriage arrived outside the high wall of the inner fort. From here, you can see Gongsun's private residence.
There were hired workers guarding the door. When they saw a strange carriage, they stepped forward and asked who it was.
Junmei opened the door and a face emerged from the carriage. The hired man was startled. He recognized Wang Junmei.
It should be said that there are fewer people in Youzhou who don't know Wang Junmei than those who don't know Xu Yue.
As the leader's most capable general, Wang Junmei's words are sometimes more effective than those of the governor of Youzhou.
In addition, she was in charge of the Xu family's separate private properties, such as sugar factories, iron ore mines, salt mines, cement factories, etc., and she was also someone that big businessmen were rushing to curry favor with.
It's a pity that Secretary Wang's reputation for being selfless is as strong as her status in the Xu family army.
The employee didn't know how such a person could suddenly visit and appear in such a low-key manner, but he quickly reacted and asked another companion to quickly notify the owner of the Uborg while opening the door.
"Third Master, Third Madam, Second Madam, Secretary Wang is here!"
The hired worker shouted as he rushed into the two-bedroom mansion.
Gongsun Yu, the Xu family, and the Yan family who stayed at home, rarely argued with each other, and gathered together to discuss matters related to the Qiuhou clan's big sacrifice.
The hired worker's words interrupted the discussion of the three of them, and they all looked towards the gate.
"Who is coming?" Gongsun Yu asked doubtfully.
The employee took a deep breath and repeated, "It's Secretary Wang!"
Yan secretly thought strangely, but her heart was pounding, "Could it be that the children made a mistake?"
These words startled Mrs. Xu, but Mrs. Xu quickly came to her senses and denied:
"Probably not, otherwise it wouldn't be Secretary Wang who came."
Secretary Wang doesn't care about the appointment or dismissal of officials.
Gongsun Yu didn't guess with them, and followed the hired workers to greet them quickly. The sixty-year-old old man had very nimble legs and feet, no worse than the young people.
Yan and Xu followed closely behind, taking a few steps slower. When they came to the door, they saw three people getting out of the car.
Mrs. Yan first saw Long Jiaowan receiving the gift, a gloating smile suddenly appeared on her lips, and she glanced at Mrs. Xu. It seemed like there was something good to watch today.
However, Gongsun Yu said in shock: "Chief!"
Yan was shocked again.
He hurriedly turned around to look, and saw that the young woman walking at the front among the three people could be who else if not the youngest daughter of the Xu family!
When Mrs. Yan knelt down to salute, Mrs. Xu had already trotted forward with a look of surprise on her face.
"Why are you here? Why are you here? Where are my father, mother, brother and sister?" Mrs. Xu asked in surprise while looking at the carriage behind Xu Yue, expecting to see Xu Da and others also exiting the carriage.
Up and down.
Unfortunately, no.
But Mrs. Xu was still very happy to see Xu Yue.
"Auntie, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you and my uncle in good health?" Xu Yue asked with concern.
Mrs. Xu held Xu Yue's hand tightly, and while saying goodbye, she looked at the child carefully.
"We are fine, but you young people are out in the wind and rain, so be careful about your health."
Mrs. Xu secretly touched Xu Yue's shoulders, arms and back to make sure she didn't touch anything bad, then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Yue noticed the warm and groping palms on her body, her heart softened, her eyes were slightly red, and she gently hugged the old woman in front of her who had many more wrinkles than before.
The grandfather and grandson walked into the hall in a warm mood, and they seemed not to notice the remaining people.
Long Jiaowan glanced at Junmei anxiously, Junmei raised her chin at her, and they entered the courtyard together.
When passing by Yan and Gongsun Yu, Long Jiaowan smiled gently at them and called her third grandfather and second grandmother.
Gongsun Yi has already married into the second wife's name, and Yan is the nominal grandmother.
But more than facing Yan, Long Jiaowan was more afraid of facing Xu, her actual grandmother.
When Gongsun Yu saw Xu Yue in the hall, he couldn't help but sigh at the anxious Long Jiaowan.
"Come in quickly." Gongsun Yu forced a smile.
Yan's serious face softened and she motioned to the employees to accept the gifts that Long Jiaowan had brought.
Then he glanced at Mrs. Xu jokingly.
She wanted to see how her siblings would settle this "granddaughter-in-law".
Anyway, she wouldn't do this evil person.
Everything seemed to be going well, and Long Jiaowan's heart dropped a little.
"Yue'er, what do you mean by this?"
After some pleasantries, Aunt Xu asked Xu Yue this question with a half-smile, and glanced at Long Jiaowan, who was standing by the hall with an uneasy look on her face.
Xu Yue laughed and said in her aunt's ear: "I personally approved the marriage certificate of my cousin and cousin. Is your aunt blaming me for my messed up marriage certificate?"
Mrs. Xu glared at Xu Yue. She must have thought that the only person in this world who dared to glare at the leader of the Xu family army, excluding Xu Yue's own family, was her aunt.
