Chapter 302, Prodigal Son
Xiao Qing didn't care about a word, she stepped forward in two steps, walked up to Master Qu and gave a blessing: "Master Qu, why are you here?"

She remembered that she did not send an invitation to the yamen.

"Shopkeeper Xiao, you said that your family had a happy event, but you didn't tell me. You really don't regard us as friends. Now I come here uninvited, why don't you continue?"

Xiao Qing smiled and said: "Yes, of course! Master Qu can come to my house, it is a great joy for our family!"

"Master Qu, why don't you tell me that it's really not a big deal. I didn't think about it. I just thought about sitting together and having a meal with my family. I can handle it. But I know everything, so I asked someone After making a few posts, friends and neighbors who know it will download it, and those who don’t know it will forget it!”

Xiao Qing invited him to the house, and Qu Zhongyi smiled and said: "You are not allowed to do this in the future, you don't know, your lord knows that you didn't invite him, so he was so angry that he didn't eat lunch yesterday! You helped the county government so much before. , Your Excellency and I have long regarded you as a friend, if the jailers hadn't told us that you said that your family is so happy, we would have missed it!"

Xiao Qing said with a smile: "Yes, yes, it's my fault. In the future, there will be a happy event in my family. I won't see you or your lord. No matter how busy you are, I still want to have a glass of wine!"

"That's right, that's how it should be!" Qu Zhongyi laughed.

Xiao Qing looked at the four big brocade boxes behind him, and said guiltily: "Look at my lord, you are asked to come with such a big gift, tell me what to do for me!"

She never thought of inviting people from the yamen, even if she helped them, it's best not to deal with the government, and she still won't invite them in the future.

"Just accept it!" Qu Zhongyi walked to the door, searched for a week, and asked, "Where's Ah Luan?"

"Master Qu has something to do with him? I'll have someone call him over right now!" Xiao Qing said.

Qu Zhongyi said: "Master Xiao, in a few days, your family may have another wedding!"

"Master Qu, where did you say that?" Xiao Qing asked.

What is her family going to do?During this period of time, she just hoped that nothing happened to her family!Don't expect happy events!

"Don't reveal it first, don't reveal it first!" Qu Zhongyi played a charade.

Xiao Qing smiled on his face, his eyes stopped smiling, and he swallowed half of what he said?Is this trying to kill her?

It seems that this happy event is quite mysterious, no matter what kind of happy event it is, it is not considered a happy event even if it is ordered to her right now.

"Master Qu, you cover it tightly, okay, okay, I'll wait for you to reveal it yourself!" Xiao Qing led him into the room to invite him.

Qu Zhongyi stroked his beard and smiled, followed her to the main room.

When she walked out of the main room before, there were still many villagers inside, but this time, Zhou Chuan was the only one left in the room.

"Shopkeeper Xiao, where's Ah Luan, call me that kid!" Qu Zhongyi seemed to be thinking of something to ask.

"Okay, I'll call you right away!" Xiao Qing said with a smile.

As soon as she walked out of the house, she saw that the door was crowded with people again. Looking around, it turned out that the family of Zhuyan envoy came, and the second innkeeper of Yueju Inn, Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Zhou were following.

Zhu Jintang looked in the direction of the main room. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xiao Qing standing at the door. He raised his hand and waved: "Master Xiao, Master Xiao! This way, this way!"

Xiao Qing saw him, and she tried to pretend not to see him. The Yueju Inn had a grudge with her family. Since her family stopped selling cornel noodles to them, the two families have been on fire. The Zhu family often spread rumors about her. Well, Zhou's and Qin's will not post them. They came today uninvited, so she thinks they are here to make trouble!
She stood at the door and pulled someone casually to tell them to call Ah Luan, but the person responded.

I saw Zhu Jintang squeezed through the gate of the courtyard and came to her, and said loudly with a smile: "Congratulations, Auntie, you said that Auntie moved to a new house, why don't you make a big deal and let friends from Yaoshan come to have a lot of fun?"

Xiao Qing said with a smile: "Thanks to the great officials who can look up to you and come to congratulate in person, my family is such a big place, and if we want to do a big job in Yaoshan County, we will be laughed at to death. My family's mountain village households are really not on the stage. The family of high officials is very well-connected, no matter they are high-ranking officials or nobles or uncles, they all know the high officials, so my family will not go to the county to make jokes."

These two sentences made Zhu Jintang's heart bursting with joy. She never expected Xiao Shi to be self-aware, knowing that she would not be able to get on the stage, so it's no wonder they came together to make things difficult for her. Whoever let her block their way of making money, she deserved it!

"Well, today is a big day for shopkeeper Xiao's family. Seeing that there are so many people in shopkeeper Xiao's family, it's not as lively as in the county!" Zhu Jintang smiled, pointing to the congratulatory gift behind him: "Shopkeeper Xiao, you can't dislike me for bringing There are few congratulatory gifts, but I have carefully selected these big boxes for you. They are all marinated bacon, leg of lamb, chicken, duck and fish, and still good ham that have been marinated by Yueju Inn for one or two months. Now, I know that you have a lot of good things in your house, so you can't look down on me!"

A chill flashed in Xiao Qing's eyes, how could anyone tell the congratulatory gift in public, could it be that his congratulatory gift has a ghost, the meat is not good meat?
"Why? I wish the officials would not choose old meat from more than ten years ago as a gift. I am too happy!" Xiao Qing said and looked at Zhou at the door: "Little Cheng Niang, don't stand at the door Now, you and Qiao Yu go to see Zhu Daguan's congratulatory gifts, don't bring old meat, you can't take it if it's rotten, remember, Zhu's meat can't be served on the dinner table today, let us eat it ourselves! "

Zhu Jintang's face sank, Xiao Shi was still so ruthless, he said congratulatory gifts in public, and she made him look bad in front of everyone, no wonder Qiao Xiangmin's family couldn't get her!

"Okay mother, I'll go right away!" Zhou said loudly standing at the gate of the courtyard.

When the villagers heard Xiao Qing's words, they pursed their lips and smiled secretly at Zhu Jintang.

A few couldn't bear to wish the family a pie, so they said it face to face.

"The county lord who just came here is not so picky. Who doesn't know that Zhu's family is a wealthy family. The family's wealth is comparable to that of the Marquis's. They sent a few boxes of bacon and cured meat. It's really ridiculous to spread the word."

"The magistrate of the county has a box of gold and silver, and a box of silk, and the food is even rarer in the world. The Zhu family thought that Aunt Xiao's family was short of a few catties of bacon!"

"It's too shabby, I've never seen it so picky!"

"Has the Zhu family been ruined by their grandparents and grandchildren! There is no decent gift to show, so I picked a few boxes of bacon as gifts!"

"Maybe it is, you don't know, the younger generations of the Zhu family only know how to eat and drink, no matter how much the family property is, they can't stand the defeat of the younger generation!"

"It's ridiculous, who dares to go to Yueju Inn for dinner in the future!"

"How can the food of the prodigal son be delicious? Laibin restaurant is better!"

"..."

Several villagers chattered at one another, not caring whether Zhu Jintang could hear them or not. Some of them spoke loudly, fearing that Zhu Jintang would not hear them, and the more they spoke, the louder they became.

Zhu Jintang gritted his teeth angrily. He hated people calling him a prodigal. When did he become a prodigal?
