The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

The next morning, the whole family got up late, and yesterday was really tiring.

The whole family had breakfast together, and Li Zhongyou came to report: "Young Madam, the congratulatory gifts in the front yard have been cleared out, here is the gift list."

It was only then that Zhao Yunlan remembered that she had received a bunch of gifts yesterday, all of which were human relationships.If you encounter such a happy event, you have to accept it.

Old man Li took the Li family brothers to see the rituals in the front yard, the third and fourth were all stunned.

"Such a room!" Li Zhiming couldn't help exclaiming.

In fact, old man Li was too excited to speak for a long time, that's why he seemed so calm.

Li Zhongyou said from the side: "There are still some in the next room."

Old man Li rolled his eyes again, and lay down on Li Mingyi's body.Why do you say it is again?Everyone in the Li family knows.

Li Zhongyou hurried forward to pinch him, Li Mingli took a cup of tea and splashed it on Old Man Li's face.

"Hey, which bastard?" Old man Li woke up, but the Li brothers didn't answer this question, and hurriedly supported old man Li to sit down.

Li Zhongyou took a handkerchief and wiped it for old man Li.

Mingmei wanted to come to join in the fun, and she just wanted to bring her old mother and two sister-in-laws with her. As soon as she entered the door, she saw several brothers surrounded her father, and then she saw that old man Li's face was still stained with water, and his temples were still wet. It's also a little wet and I probably understand it.

Wang couldn't help complaining: "You are really small-hearted, you can't hold your breath at all."

Old man Li didn't refute, but Li Mingli said: "Mother, these gifts can be exchanged for a lot of money!"

Li Mingmei followed suit and nodded.

These gifts include common ones such as cakes and fabrics, and more expensive ones include vases, jewelry, the top four treasures of the study, and Zhao Yunlan also saw a top-quality jade.

The Li family brothers also flipped through these gift boxes, and Li Mingzhi picked up a box at his feet and opened it:

"Oh! Who gave this gift, it's so solid."

The whole family gathered their eyes together, only to see that there were lovely gold ingots lying inside.

Old man Li smiled and wanted to pick one up and touch it, but Wang slapped it down.

Zhao Yunlan looked at the name of the gift giver on the list, a wealthy businessman named Qian Duoduo gave it to him, and he really lived up to his name, Zhao Yunlan couldn't help but smile.

This wealthy businessman not only gave away Li Mingren, but also the top ten Juren lords, and the commentator No. 1 gave the most.

Otherwise, how can I say that people are rich and scholars are poor.

This just won the election, if all the gifts received by the family were exchanged for money, it would cost up to 500 taels.

"Let's use this room as a storeroom! Yunlan will do my best for you." Wang Shi said and took old man Li out of the front yard.

Li Mingren also started to get busy, because some guests came to congratulate him today, and Li Mingren had to go to receive them.The three brothers of the Li family also had to receive guests with their eldest brother.

Zhao Yunlan took Wu Yi and Li Mingmei to count these gifts again, and finally took out a box of gold ingots and the piece of jade. After Li Zhongyou gave Zhao Yunlan the key to lock the door, they left.

There are no female family members coming to the door today, so Zhao Yunlan and the others can rest for a while.Li Mingren still took the guests to eat at the restaurant. After several hot pot meals, Li Mingren's mouth was bubbling.

In the back room of the east courtyard, Li Mingren talked about the situation these days.

"Anyone who give away land?" Zhao Yunlan was puzzled.

Li Mingren nodded: "It's a squire. I think the land deeds are all high-quality fields, with [-] acres! It's just that I didn't dare to take it."

Zhao Yunlan thought to herself: Good guy!No wonder everyone wants to support the scholars with the strength of the whole family. The reward is really worth it.

"Yeah, it's right not to accept it. Don't accept it if someone gives you land again. Our family can't make mistakes in these things." Zhao Yunlan urged.

Li Mingren nodded, what the lady said is always right, she is just so blindly infatuated.

The Li family was packing up their things to go back to the village, Li Mingren received an invitation from the magistrate, and Zhao Yunlan was also invited to participate.

Going to the banquet today, Li Mingren was wearing a moon white gown and a royal blue smock.Zhao Yunlan is wearing a skirt with gouache as the main body, and the moon-white patterns are interlaced.On his head is a sapphire hairpin, which matches Li Mingren's.

Ruiwen looked at his parents from the side, and couldn't help but smile: "Mother looks really good today."

Zhao Yunlan: "Ruiwen is also very cute today."

Ruiwen obediently watched his parents go out, Wang took her daughter and continued to pack, thinking about something.

After arriving at the Liu Mansion, Zhao Yunlan knew that the Liu Zhi Mansion had invited everyone who had passed the provincial examination.This time Jinzhou City took a total of 32 people.

After Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren separated, they were led to the backyard. The prefect's house was much bigger than Li's house, and it took almost a quarter of an hour to see Mrs. Liu after following the maid who led the way.

Mrs. Liu's surname is Lin, and her name is Lin Yun.Lin Yun is the daughter of the Lin family's concubine, and now Lin Yun's father is the Minister of Rites, but now that he has gotten older, and his in-laws have also quit their official careers, they are planning to retire and return home.

Zhao Yunlan stepped forward and saluted: "I have met Mrs. Liu."

Lin Yun smiled and said: "Mrs. Li, please get up, today I just invite everyone to enjoy the flowers and chat, don't be so extravagant."

Zhao Yunlan got up. Although Lin Yun said that she didn't need to talk outside, she didn't get up and leave the main seat. She was still sitting upright, but there was a touch of friendliness on her face.

Zhao Yunlan sat on the seat, and the maid served tea and snacks, and the two never met again after that.

Zhao Yunlan drank tea and ate snacks and watched the wives of Juren being ushered in. Lin Yun also sat in the main seat and said politely.I don't know if it's Zhao Yunlan's delusion, but I always feel that Mrs. Liu treats other people with less cordiality and more seriousness of a superior.

Today, not all the wives of Juren came, some of them brought their mothers for reference, so the female relatives who came were not only wives, but also old mothers and younger sisters.

Zhao Yunlan didn't bring other female family members here, not because she didn't want to, but because the Li family didn't have this kind of opportunity to participate in the banquet of the upper class before, and Zhao Yunlan felt a little upset.Although there is some friendship with Mrs. Liu, but at the present level, it is not easy to get by with friendship.So Zhao Yunlan had to explore the road by herself, get used to this kind of life first, and then bring her family with her. After all, these things will become normal in the future.

On the front yard side, Zhifu Liu talked to all the candidates one by one, and finally asked the interpreter to sit beside him to discuss knowledge.

The commentator's name was Wen Zhiyu, he had a refined air, and his temples were a little gray, but because of the happy event of Zhongju, his brows didn't look old.The clothes looked like they had just been made, and the material was brand new. The dark blue gown wore a hosta on his head. It seemed that the clerk had gotten rich a lot in the past two days.

Li Mingren was so lost in thought that he didn't even notice that Liu Zhifu looked over.

It just so happened that on the side of the women's family, Mrs. Liu was having a good chat with the mediator's wife.The conversation between the two was not cryptic, so Zhao Yunlan heard it clearly.

The wife of Xie Yuan was named Qiao Juan, and she was accompanied by a daughter, the eldest daughter of the family.Interpreter Wen Zhiyu's family is also a farming family, but the family has a lot of fields and has some livelihoods, so it has been able to provide for Wen Zhiyu's examination until now.Although the conditions of Wen's family are not bad, Qiao Juan still has to do work. It can be seen that compared with Mrs. Liu, Qiao Juan's hands are indeed hands that have been working all year round.

Mrs. Liu also has a daughter named Liu Ruyin, who is about the same age as Mingmei, and is planning to take a girl of the same age who is here for the banquet to play in the garden.Liu Ruyin really looks like a lady of every family, she treats people with courtesy and manners, and knows how to take care of everyone's emotions.Qiao Juan's daughter looked a little shy, but under Liu Ruyin's lead, she became more active.

Zhao Yunlan observed carefully, and also looked at the ladies while eating.When a female family came to talk to her, Zhao Yunlan responded politely, and occasionally chatted with the female family next to her.

After a banquet was over, Zhao Yunlan felt a sense of relief, and Li Mingren also felt that it was really tiring to chat with these ladies and maintain their demeanor at all times.And Li Mingren had a headache because Liu Zhifu wanted to test everyone from time to time.Because Li Mingren found that those who ranked after him were very admirable in certain academic views.

Mrs. Liu prepared some gifts for the female relatives, which were snacks made by the cook at home.

Zhao Yunlan brought dim sum and Li Mingren met at the door, and the two supported each other into the carriage.

Back home, Zhao Yunlan asked Li Mingmei to open the snacks for everyone to eat, while she went back to the east courtyard and was paralyzed. She was really tired after sitting upright for a whole day.
