Dressed as a vicious stepmother, the whole family is full of wealth

Chapter 198, the nobleman came to visit
"My lord, folk women can't do it... folk women can't do it..." Xiao Qing said anxiously.

Shi Jin laughed and interrupted her, didn't listen to what she said, just sat for a while, and then left, he didn't respond to Xiao Qing's words at all.

"My lord, my lord, don't go, this matter can't be settled like this!" Xiao Qing said loudly.

Shi Jinkai only left a back view for her.

Seeing the magistrate Shi leaving, Mrs. Zhou came in with a bowl of millet porridge.

"Mother, eat something, you rest, don't get up, Doctor Xu said, you need to rest for a few days!" Zhou said.

Xiao Qing hummed.

After Mrs. Zhou fed her millet porridge, she waited on her mother and lay down to rest.

"Mother, don't worry about the outside affairs, you should rest well!"

Xiao Qing closed his eyes and nodded.

At this time, outside the courtyard of Old Qiao's house, a carriage approached. Zhou Chuan heard that Xiao Qing was almost dead, and when he learned about it in the morning, he rushed over ready.

He came to visit her with a cart full of gifts, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw that the yard was full of villagers, everyone holding various gifts for her.

Thinking of her chubby figure, being able to do such a big thing is beyond the reach of ordinary people, which made him know her again.

One person can save so many people, no wonder so many people came to visit her willingly.

Zhou Chuan saw a few familiar figures from among the villagers. He walked around to the door of the thatched cottage, squeezed to the front, and found Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Qin.

When Zhou and Qin saw that it was shopkeeper Zhou coming, they greeted him with smiles.

"Treasurer Zhou is here?" Mrs. Zhou asked with a smile.

"Well, how is your mother?" Zhou Chuan asked anxiously.

Zhou said: "My mother just woke up this morning and is resting. It's inconvenient to see people at this time."

When Zhou Chuan heard that Xiao had regained consciousness, he was suddenly relieved, as long as he was fine.

Just as Zhou Chuan asked people to remove the contents of the cart, another carriage and two riders came outside the yard.

"The son of the Hou Mansion is here!" the man on horseback shouted.

The surrounding villagers had just sent the magistrate away when they saw a carriage approaching, so they gave up their seats a little.

The villagers were asking who the person with the cart full of gifts was, when they heard a voice from outside: "The prince of the Hou family has arrived!"

The villagers turned their heads in surprise.

The son of the Hou Mansion is not someone who anyone can meet if he wants to. He actually came to visit the Xiao family in the thatched cottage in person?

"I've known for a long time that the Xiao family has the support of the Hou family, but I didn't expect the people of the Hou family to value the Xiao family so much, and let the son of the Hou family come to visit in person!" Yaoshan villager said.

"Which one is the son of the Hou family? Did you get out of the car?" asked the villagers of Yuliang Village.

"Stand back, step back, the son of the Hou Mansion is here to see my daughter's mother-in-law, don't stand in the way, step back!" Sun Wanniang said.

"Yes, you guys, just you guys, dressed like this, don't rub against the prince of the Marquis Mansion, can you afford to pay for the dirt on his brocade clothes and jade belt? Back off, don't stand here anymore!" Qin He yelled loudly.

The Qin family heard that the villages had sent many good things to Lao Qiao's house early in the morning. They thought that their eldest daughter-in-law and daughter were both at Lao Qiao's house. When the son of the Hou Mansion comes, he will naturally show the aura of the master.

It's been a few minutes since they arrived at Lao Qiao's house. They heard that Mrs. Xiao had just woken up, and her daughter was taking care of her in the house, and Liang Xia was taking care of her at her mother's house. Stand outside and wait.

I just met Qin Lan, and wanted to go up to her and let everyone see her. This is the daughter of his old Qin family, and they are relatives of the old Qiao family. Unexpectedly, these noble people came one after another. The son of the Hou family also came.

Prince of the Hou Mansion, they are just people who have heard about it, how can they have the opportunity to meet in person!
Then, I saw a young man dressed in a crescent-white round-neck gown, with a white jade belt around his waist, with slender eyebrows and eyes, handsome and resolute, got off his horse. step back.

They didn't know how to salute, so they could only stand there stupidly.

As soon as Qin He saw the real face of the prince of the Hou family, the nobility radiated from his bones, and when he walked to the side, he subconsciously retreated and knelt down.

"Xiaomin pays homage to the prince!" After he knelt down, other villagers also knelt down.

"My lord!" All the people bowed in unison.

Seeing everyone saluting, Chi Yan said, "Get up!"

The villagers thanked after getting up.

Chi Yan looked around and saw that there were quite a few villagers. With so many people, why is Aunt Xiao resting? There is so much noise outside!But he is not a member of the Lord's family, so he cannot open his mouth to drive these people away.

He walked up to Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Qin: "How is Aunt Xiao?"

After saluting, Mrs. Zhou stood up and said, "Thank you, my son, for your concern. Mother's body is fine and she is resting."

Hearing what she said, it was inconvenient for Chi Yan to go in and visit, so he could only turn around and call someone: "People outside, bring your things here!"

The entourage at the gate of the courtyard heard this, responded, and began to unload things from the carriage.

Zhou Chuan's people in front stopped halfway before they finished moving, and now they are helping to move things down with the prince of the Hou family. The scene was once surprising.

Leno silk and satin were moved to Lao Qiao’s house one by one, boxes of clothes were sent to Lao Qiao’s house, bags of grain, boxes of dried fruits, pastries were sent to the thatched cottage, and all kinds of dry goods were sent to Lao Qiao’s house. Meat and bacon, eggs and duck eggs were brought in. Finally, a box of brocade boxes aroused the curiosity of the villagers.

That box was not a side item. After Chi Yan opened it, a box of gold and silver jewelry and silver tickets gleamed out, and it looked like there were thousands of taels.

Seeing that the house was full of presents and a box of gold and silver bills, Mrs. Zhou was so excited that she didn't know what to accept.

"My lord, this... so many..."

"These are the thoughts of the Chi family. Thank you, Aunt Xiao, for saving the people in several villages. As the son of the Hou family, I should thank you in person!" Chi Yan said.

The Zhou family and the Qin family hurriedly saluted: "The women take the place of the mother, thank you son!"

"These are the rewards from the Hou family for those who have contributed to the Chi family."

Chi Yan smiled and said that this was the purpose of his trip, but when he walked through the crowd, he looked at the corners of thatched sheds and thatched houses, as if he was looking for someone.

"Where is Lingmei?" Chi Yan couldn't help asking: "Qiao Fang... Where is she?"

Mrs. Qin also searched: "Hey, she was washing dishes in the thatched shed just now, and she turned around and didn't know where she went!"

Chi Yan looked around, but he couldn't help seeing a trace of disappointment in his eyes when he looked around and saw Qiao Fang's figure.

Dodging him again?

After what happened last time, he believed that the relationship between them had taken a big step forward. He found someone to make a pearl hairpin and wanted to give it to her, but he didn't expect that she was avoiding him again!
He couldn't stay longer, he turned around and took out a rectangular brocade box from his sleeve and handed it to Mrs. Zhou.

"This is for Lingmei Qiao Fang, please pass it on to Mrs. Zhou!" Chi Yan said.

Zhou was taken aback, said oh, and took the brocade box in his hand and accepted it. Almost everyone in their family knew what the prince thought about Qiao Fang.

Chi Yan looked around again, and said disappointedly: "Then... I'm leaving!"
