In the end, Xu Qing did not agree to Xiao Ye adding onions and carrots to the cake. Did he really treat the cake as a big cake?
Originally Xu Qing wanted to put seventeen candles on it, but because the candles of this era were too thick, if he really wanted to put seventeen candles on it, he would not eat the cake.
In the end, Xu Qing just inserted a candle to express his meaning.
At this moment, the concierge came to announce that there was a guest outside, saying he was giving a birthday gift to his wife.
Xu Qing was still playing with the cake. Magistrate Su took the invitation and opened it. It was his senior brother Li Yi.
Unexpectedly, when Li Yi asked Su Qian's birthday and horoscope last time, Magistrate Su just mentioned it casually. Unexpectedly, he actually remembered it in his heart.
However, a senior brother is a senior brother after all, so Magistrate Su went to the door to greet him in person. The only one who came this time was Li Yi, not even an entourage, but an exquisite gift box in his hand.
Magistrate Su smiled and said: "Brother, why are you here?"
Li Yi looked at Magistrate Su and said, "What? Now that my junior brother has a good son-in-law who is the county magistrate, he no longer recognizes his poor senior brother? He is not even willing to give an invitation to his senior brother?"
Su County Magistrate shook his head repeatedly and said: "How can that be possible! Senior brother is a senior brother wherever he goes, how can he dislike it? Isn't this because he is worried that senior brother is busy at the household department, and Qian'er is just celebrating a simple birthday today, so there is no need for it.
Excuse me, senior brother."
Li Yi glanced at Magistrate Su: "For Xiaoyu's daughter's birthday, of course I, the senior brother, have to come."
Su County Magistrate quickly invited Li Yi in, then stretched out his hand to grab the things Li Yi was carrying and said: "Brother, come as soon as you come, why are you still taking things? Don't be so polite next time... Who among us brothers
Who are you following? It’s so different, so different!”
Li Yi looked at Magistrate Su who had been shameless for more than 20 years, and tightly clamped the gift box in his hand: "This is a gift from brother to Xiaoyu's daughter, not for you."
Magistrate Su finally grabbed it: "Isn't Xiaoyu's daughter my daughter? It doesn't matter who this gift is for. It doesn't matter who you give it to, it doesn't matter."
…
The lobby of Anding Bo's Mansion
An Liyi followed behind Magistrate Su, who was holding an exquisite gift box in his hand.
At this moment, there was a circle of people sitting around the round table, Xiao Ye, Su Qian sitting next to Xu Qing's seat, Xiao Ruxue sitting next to Su Qian on the other side, talking to Su Qian with her eyes bent.
, followed by Magistrate Su, and now also his father-in-law’s senior brother.
Magistrate Su now knows the identities of Xiao Ruxue and Xiao Ye. One is the Prince Xian and the other is Princess Yongle.
Moreover, County Magistrate Su discovered that the relationship between Princess Yongle and his daughter had become so deep that he called Sister Su one after another, as if the two were biological sisters.
Women's friendship is strange...
Moreover, how did Xu Qing hook up with the princess and the prince?
How bizarre!
That incident at the Liu Family Bookstore, when Magistrate Su found Xu Qing with a little girl, he showed no fear of the county government or the police. At that time, he did not know the identity of Princess Yongle, and he was not familiar with Xu Qing.
With such a close look, I thought this little girl had some thoughts about her son-in-law.
Of course, he gave up this idea after knowing his identity. Regardless of the age gap, it was impossible for Princess Yongle to marry someone else as a concubine, let alone someone who had or even had a wife.
It was just a waste of worry!
He even thought that Princess Yongle could have an affair with her son-in-law. It was simply a daydream!
If your son-in-law can really keep up with Princess Yongle, then you have to think of Xu Qing’s abilities!
And the Crown Prince, Magistrate Su has always thought that a royal nobleman should be able to act like a dragon and not be angry, right?
After all, he is from the royal family, and he is also a virtuous prince with a reputation throughout the capital, so he should be even more extraordinary.
What did you see as a result?
"Brother Xu!"
"Brother Xiao!"
It has to be said that if his son-in-law hadn't reminded him that this guy was a virtuous prince, Magistrate Su wouldn't have known that he was still a member of the royal family. He didn't have any of the airs or manners of a prince. The feeling that this virtuous prince gave him
More like a knight who punishes rape and eliminates evil.
Moreover, I always feel that this prince has an indescribable feeling, because he only talks to Xu Qing and is very silent most of the time, as if he has suffered great grievances for no reason...
Nothing like Princess Yongle, who is lively, cute, innocent, has endless things to talk about with her daughter, and is smiling happily most of the time.
They are all born to the same mother, so why is there such a big gap between children?
…
Magistrate Su handed the gift to Su Qian and said, "Qian'er, this is your birthday gift from your uncle. Please thank him quickly."
Su Qian stood up, looked at Li Yifu and said, "Thank you, uncle."
Li Yi quickly waved his hand and said: "Uncle, I can't give you anything valuable, it's good if you like it."
At this time, Xu Qing came over with the cake, put it on the table, looked at Li Yi, smiled and said: "Uncle is here too, please sit down quickly."
Li Yi saw Xu Qing's eyes dodge a little and said: "Jue..."
Xu Qing shook his head and said with a smile: "No matter whether you are noble or not, it's all good luck. Today we are all our own people. Master, hurry up and sit down. We will cut the cake and eat it later."
In the end, Li Yi could only sit down next to Magistrate Su and looked at the little girl next to Su Qian and the young man sitting silently drinking tea. Who were they? Especially the little girl, she was Xiaoyu's daughter.
friend?
But my junior brother and his family had just arrived in Anding County not long ago. Where did they get such close friends who are as good as sisters?
To be honest, Xu Qing doesn't really have a good impression of Li Yi, and he won't have a favorable impression of anyone who wants to separate him from his wife.
However, this person Xu Qing cannot be disliked, because all his starting points are to make his wife live a better life, rather than having any selfish motives of his own.
Speaking of which, Li Yuanwailang is actually a poor man. When his courtship failed, the woman he loved left with his father-in-law. He could only marry a woman he had never met before and reluctantly gave birth to a child.
son……
Then she could only transform her love for her father-in-law into something similar to father's love and want to put it on Su Qian.
But it seems that no one appreciates it...
Alas...it's all fate...
Xu Qing put the cake on the table and said, "Madam, make a wish first, and then blow out the candles."
"Wish?" Su Qian looked at Xu Qing: "Then I want to..."
Xu Qing quickly covered Su Qian's red lips and whispered: "Just keep your promise silently in your heart, don't say it out loud."
Su Qian nodded, closed her eyes for a moment and then blew out the candle.
Xiao Ruxue looked at the cake, raised her head and looked at Xu Qing standing aside and said: "Xu Qing, Xu Qing! Can I also have cake on my birthday?"
Xu Qing nodded and smiled: "Of course."
At this moment, a voice came from the door of Uncle Anding's Mansion: "The imperial edict has arrived!"
After hearing the imperial edict, everyone stood up and walked out of the lobby. Then they saw two familiar eunuchs approaching the Anding residence with the imperial edict in their hands.
The leading eunuch was about to announce the decree when he saw Xiao Ruxue and Xiao Ye standing nearby. He quickly bowed and said, "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Yongle."
Xiao Ye said: "No need to be polite, just declare the imperial edict."
Li Yi was shocked when he heard this...His Royal Highness, Princess Yongle...the Crown Prince of Xianwang?! The Crown Prince of Xianwang who specializes in beating up dandies?
Did the son-in-law, my junior brother, really work as a policeman before?
Where did they meet Prince Xian and Princess Yongle?
It’s really incredible!
After the ceremony, the eunuch picked up the imperial edict: "The edict says: Su Qian, the wife of the county boss of Anding, is virtuous and sincere, beautiful and intelligent. Now, the wife of the county boss of Anding, Su Qian, is granted the title of fourth-grade royal wife and is rewarded with a hundred pieces of silk.
, admire this.”
Su Qian said: "Your Majesty Su Qian accepted the order and thanked you for your kindness."
After the eunuch placed the imperial edict in Su Qian's hand, he looked at Xu Qing with a smile and said: "Sir, Your Majesty has one more thing to say to your slaves to bring to the Lord."
Xu Qing stood up and asked, "I wonder what your Majesty asked your father-in-law to say?"
The eunuch said: "Your Majesty asked your servant to ask the Lord if he is satisfied with this reward."
Xu Qing smiled and said: "Of course I am satisfied."
Li Yi, who had just stood up, looked around... At this moment, it seemed that he and his junior brother were the only ones with the lowest rank and status among the people in the circle...
The county uncle, the crown prince, the princess, and now even Xiaoyu’s daughter is a fourth-grade imperial concubine...
What kind of monsters are this family!
Mrs. Gaoming's level has increased along with her husband's level... In other words... Su Qian, who had no level before a cup of tea, now has the same level as her husband...
Moreover, Mrs. Gaoming's appointment was not free, the court wanted to pay her salary according to her rank!
Magistrate Su looked at his daughter with a bit of envy. In just a moment, his daughter's salary was already higher than his own who had worked hard in the officialdom for more than ten years...
Xu Qing...is really a very capable son-in-law.
The eunuch left the reward and the imperial edict and left in a hurry to return to the imperial edict.
Originally, Xu Qing was too embarrassed to ask for wedding money when the Holy Family was strong, but now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Yongle were watching, he was even more embarrassed... No, this is not embarrassment, this is life-saving!
Xiao Ruxue helped Su Qian up, raised her eyes and smiled: "Sister Su is now Mrs. Gaoming! What does it feel like to be Mrs. Gaoming?"
…
Only Xu Qing looked at the imperial uniforms placed in the yard. They looked similar. If his wife put them on at night, wouldn't it be... ahem...
There are also these silk cloths. Last time there was a large batch that was useless, but another large batch came. If this thing was not a reward from the emperor, he would have wanted to put these cloths in the Guoshangyuan and buy them for a high price.
