If the emperor comes one day, I'm afraid Sister Haitang will still be so calm.
This kind of calm wintersweet cannot be learned.
Putting down the tea bowl, Lamei took the opportunity to take a closer look. What were the officials from the capital like? How were they different from the people in Qiaotou Village? She wanted to see it, but she was afraid that others would find out. If the official power was not used well, she would be executed.
Lamei glanced at it secretly, but couldn't see clearly.
Then I thought about it, Brother Datong has become the number one scholar, and I can be regarded as the girl next door to Brother Datong. How can I be so easy to make a decision? Finally, I got the courage to look at the wedding official from the capital carefully.
I really can't tell the difference. They all have the same nose and two eyes, but the clothes are embroidered, which is different from the solid-colored clothes worn in bookstores in the county.
Haitang still had two bags of silver in her hand, which looked like small bags, one or two each, and she gave them to the two people who were playing gongs and drums respectively.
Four taels of silver is really not much for them.
But for country people, that's a lot of money. These four taels of silver have made everything possible for Haitang and Lamei's family. Do you think it has a big effect?
It was given to Xiguan so freely, how could he not feel distressed.
Haitang didn't expect Datong to get back all the money he spent after becoming an official in Beijing. He was not that kind of person, and he probably didn't understand that kind of behavior, let alone that kind of mentality.
Wintersweet, Wintersweet's mother, Tian Niu, and dumb sister are all helping to prepare dinner now. It's late at night, so Xiguan can't be starved.
"Sir, you've been tired from the journey. Let's drink some tea and eat some snacks first. Dinner will be ready later." Haitang was afraid that he would be impatient with the wait, so she meant that we would cook right away.
The fire was burning brightly, the pot was steaming, and killing chickens and ducks was not a problem. These were Er Tong's jobs. Even though it was night, Er Tong still wanted to go to the river to catch a big fish.
Only Xiguan and Datong were left in the courtyard. The two were sitting and saying these kind words. To put it bluntly, Datong was just a companion, holding the imperial edict in his hand, which was as heavy as a thousand pieces of gold.
"I should have arrived earlier, but I'm sorry that I kept the champion waiting for so long. This old red date horse has been accompanying me year after year to deliver imperial edicts for many years. Now it's old and walks slower. It's getting dark now.
I just arrived, I feel sorry for you." Xiguan said with a smile.
He knew in his heart that the last thing he wanted to do was to go to a remote place to announce the good news. If he met a wise person, he could give some money, but it was not much. If he met a poor person, he couldn't give out a copper coin, so the trip was really in vain.
If this gift were sent to a noble family, the happy gift would be only a dozen taels of silver. Who wouldn't be happy with this good job?
Therefore, when he learned that this year's No. 1 pick was in a quiet place in Qiaotou Village, Xiguan suddenly lost his mood and took his time along the way, arriving only after dark.
You go in a hurry. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, and I don't have any money to worry about. After I arrived, I saw that the Tian family was doing well in the village, and I got a little comfort. When I weighed the red envelope given by Haitang, I knew it was only 2 taels.
For rural areas, it's pretty good.
Smoke from cooking pots floats into the night, and the aroma of chicken, duck and fish fills the yard.
The second aunt specially took out the last two bottles of alley wine that were originally given to Lulu as a dowry. The second aunt wanted to call the eldest sister, but the eldest sister couldn't sleep all the time at such a good time. Who knows, her idea was met with failure
The whole family has been opposed to it.
The old lady is most peaceful when she is sleeping, so stop barking.
