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

Chapter 254 Invited
After staying in Su County for one night, Li Mingren and his party continued to go to Youzhou City.Fucheng is two days away from Su County, and I don't know if she slept too much in the past few days, but Zhao Yunlan was in good spirits and had a good appetite during the two-day journey.

"It's Youzhou City." Li Mingren felt as if he had seen the dawn.

"Let's go and see the inn first. If we can stay, we will stay there." Zhao Yunlan suggested, after all, it's new here, and everything should be done according to the rules. It's always right to keep a low profile.

Li Mingren nodded and asked He Wen to rush to the station.

Fortunately, this post station in Youzhou is still the case. Although the service is not as good as that of the inn, it is not as dilapidated as the previous post station in Suzhou.

"Sure enough, it still has to be Fucheng. This inn can still accommodate people, so let's stay here." Zhao Yunlan whispered to Li Mingren.

Li Mingren nodded, and handed over his letter of appointment, and Yicheng arranged accommodation for Li Mingren.

"I'll change my clothes and report to the government office. You eat first." Li Mingren said to Zhao Yunlan while walking.

Zhao Yunlan: "Alright, you can bring two pieces of dim sum to eat on the way."

As soon as Li Mingren's family entered the city gate, the government office got the news.At the moment, Master Zheng, the magistrate, is working in the government office, and he has been scratching his head in a state of desperation.

"My subordinate Li Mingren pays homage to the prefect." Li Mingren saluted.

Zheng Shaohong raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him. This is what Lao Zhou said about the rich man. This is a poor man who doesn't even have any accessories and lives in a post station when he enters the city?What's more, the document issued by the official department said that Li Mingren came from the Li family village, that he was a peasant boy with no power, no power and no wealth.

"Well, it's been a hard journey." Zheng Shaohong said slowly.

Only then did Li Mingren raise his head, looking at the slightly messy hair of the magistrate in front of him.

"It's not hard. Mr. Zheng has a lot of things to do every day and still needs to find time to meet me. In the future, please ask your lord to remind me more."

Zheng Shaohong: "Hey, it's also important to meet you, after all, when you come to Youzhou City, you always have to come to the government office to report to the official."

"Yes."

"Let's stay for a light meal later, I have already sent people to invite family members." In fact, the people around me only went out to invite people after hearing this at this moment.

Li Mingren respectful: "Yes, thank you for your hospitality."

After a while, Zhao Yunlan came over with a change of clothes. When the guards around Zheng Zhifu came to the post station, Zhao Yunlan had just washed up and prepared to eat.When the visitor expressed his intention, Zhao Yunlan immediately asked Chunxiang to prepare some special products and bring them with him.

Originally, the couple planned to send a copy to Zheng Zhifu when they left Youzhou, but now Shangguan came to invite first, Zhao Yunlan was not rude.

Zhao Yunlan was taken to the backyard of the government office, and she didn't see Li Mingren. She only saw a lady sitting in front of her, who must be the magistrate's wife, and there was a little girl next to her.Zhao Yunlan stepped forward, saluted generously and said: "Mr. Zhao has met Mr. Gong."

The little girl also got up and saluted: "I met Zhao Ruren."

Kong Yuzhen, the magistrate's wife, smiled and said: "Come and sit down, today is a small gathering, let's chat casually, don't be so formal." After finishing speaking, she stepped forward and took Zhao Yunlan's hand to sit down.

"Thank you, Congratulations."

Kong Yuzhen said: "Hey, just call me Sister Kong. Let's not talk about those empty etiquette today. This is my eldest sister, Xiuli."

Zhao Yunlan responded with a shy smile, "Yes, Sister Kong, Xiuli really lives up to her name."

Zheng Xiuli smiled shyly, and sat down with the two elders.

"Haha, let's have dinner too, they've probably already had a drink." Kong Yuzhen looked at the other side of the men's table and said.

"These are the only dishes in the north. Sister Zhao, try it. You may not be used to it. It will take a while to get used to it."

Zhao Yunlan: "I'm not picky about what I eat. The cook at my sister's house is very good at cooking, and it suits my taste."

The meal ended in such non-stop mutual compliments. Zhao Yunlan felt that this was the day when she talked the most since she came here, and she didn't know why the magistrate's wife was so enthusiastic.

"This is a special product brought from my hometown. I hope you don't dislike it." Before leaving, Zhao Yunlan asked Chunxiang to take out the things. They should have delivered them as soon as they arrived, but they didn't expect to be dragged away as soon as they arrived. During the meal, I didn't even see Li Mingren's face.

"Hey, I said that today is just a casual meal." Kong Yuzhen said helplessly.

Zhao Yunlan: "These are homemade things, not worth anything. Sister Kong and Xiuli can use them, and there are some homemade food. You don't mind that these are local products from the farm."

"Where did the local products from the farm come from? The food we eat is grown by everyone's hard work. What my sister said is wrong."

Zhao Yunlan nodded again and again: "Yes, I was wrong."

Kong Yuzhen couldn't help but smile when she saw Zhao Yunlan admitting her mistake so quickly: "Okay, I'll accept these things."

It wasn't until Zhao Yunlan left the backyard that her shoulders could relax, and she didn't see Li Mingren who was already waiting outside until she reached the gate of the government office.

"I'm so sleepy~" This was the first sentence Zhao Yunlan said when she saw Li Mingren, with a slightly coquettish tone.

"Get in the carriage, let's go back and rest." Li Mingren helped Zhao Yunlan get into the carriage and left the government office.

Inside the government office, Zheng Shaohong looked at the pile of gifts and asked, "What are there?"

Kong Yuzhen: "The food they make at home, such as smoked duck, pepper sauce, I asked the kitchen to hang it. Here is soap and scented soap, which were very popular in Jinzhou City before, and they couldn't be grabbed. A while ago in Beijing They have also started selling over there, and it is said that there are custom-made ones, and I think these should be custom-made ones. She said they made it, so it seems that this soap is from her family..."

Zheng Shaohong didn't care about the soap, but fell into deep thought after hearing the pepper sauce.There are already peppers here in the north, and some peppers are occasionally added to cooking at home.Before Li Mingren came, Zheng Shaohong had already inquired about it. This family member of Li Mingren was the one who planted the peppers, but the credit did not come down in the end.

"What are you thinking about?" Kong Yuzhen tugged at Zheng Shaohong's sleeve.

Only then did Zheng Shaohong come back to his senses: "No, I was just wondering if this Li Mingren could... Forget it, let's wash up and go to sleep."

Kong Yuzhen rolled her eyes inwardly. She hated people who were half-talking the most, so she picked up the pieces of soap and went to her daughters' yard.

The magistrate's family has two daughters, the eldest daughter is Zheng Xiuli, who is thirteen, she is in the age of cardamom, and she has met Zhao Yunlan today.The youngest daughter, Zheng Xiurong, is seven years old. She has been infected with the wind and cold for the past few days, so she didn't come out to see guests today.

On Zhao Yunlan's side, she went back to the station and washed her face before going to bed.Li Mingren brought hot water to wash Zhao Yunlan's feet, and helped Yunlan undress, Zhao Yunlan fell asleep under Li Mingren's gentle service.

Li Mingren couldn't help smiling when he heard the sound of snoring.
