Chapter 373 Request
The old man said: "Okay, let's all sit down and eat. It's cold today. If we keep talking, the dishes on the table will be cold."

After hearing this, everyone sat down one by one.

"Miss, you and the six young masters will sit down first, and we can sit at the bottom." Yueyang said.

Xu Zhiyong hugged Yueyang's arm and said, "No need to be polite. It doesn't matter where you sit. We are all brothers."

Xu Wenwu nodded and said: "Everyone, please sit down. There is no need to refuse this section."

At the table of adults, the old man ordered Ding Hui beside him to fill the wine glasses in front of everyone with fruit wine.

Then the old man picked up the wine glass and said: "When the new year is over the day after tomorrow, the new year will begin. I have seen everyone's efforts this year, especially the scholars and Kui Wu's brothers. It’s not easy to travel, and for today’s dust-free banquet, on behalf of everyone in the Xu family, I would like to thank you for your continued efforts.”

The head of the Xu family thanked them personally, which made the second child feel particularly flattered. They quickly stood up and said, "You're welcome, sir. We all like this job, and there are so many more every month." We get paid, and we are all rough guys, not so particular."

"Yes, old man, we have paid hard and he has repaid us in return. He must not thank us personally." The third among the others also said.

The old man smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll drink this cup first as a token of respect."

After speaking, he raised his head and drank the fruit wine in the glass.

Seeing this, Shusheng Qian and Lao Er also raised their glasses and drank in the same gulp.

The wine in the glass was gone and everyone took their seats.

"Old man, I have something to tell you." Shusheng Qian sat down and put down his wine glass and said.

"Scholar, it's up to you," the old man said.

"It's like this. I plan to buy a piece of land in Xujiacun and build a wooden house like the people in the village. I wonder if this is inconvenient?" Qian Shusheng asked.

Wang heard the words and said, "Scholar, why do you want to build a house for such a good person? Isn't this a good place to live?"

Qian Shusheng smiled and explained: "Auntie, it's like this. You see, Xuedong has grown up and will marry a wife and have children in the future. It is no longer convenient to live in the Xu family. However, the relationship between our two families is still the same as before. The same, nothing will change because of this matter.”

Mrs. Wang said: "Auntie, that's not what you meant, but you are right. Xuedong has reached the age of marriage and will have a family of his own in the future. You are right to consider it."

The old man said: "Well, after the New Year, I will go to the village chief and talk to him. The village chief will definitely agree, and the villagers will definitely not object. After all, Yueru is kind to them all."

The kindness the old man was talking about was that Mrs. Qian taught the girls in the village to learn embroidery for free. Now everyone in Xu Village, young and old, calls Mrs. Qian Fuzi. After all, they are learning in a school, so it is appropriate to call her Fuzi.

Qian Shusheng said: "Then please tell me, uncle, but don't worry, we don't compete with the villagers for business, we just use our own homes to live in."

The old man pretended to be angry and said, "What do you mean?"

Mr. Qian said: "Don't be angry, Mr. I am speaking from my heart. I know you are good to me, but I really don't want to compete with everyone in the village for this business. Besides, Yue Ru will definitely not be able to do this business. She is also busy with school embroidery, so how can she have time to do this." The old man also understood and said, "Scholar, don't worry, I will leave the construction of the house to me, and I will find someone to build it after the New Year. "

Qian Shusheng clasped his fists and thanked: "Thank you very much, uncle. I just need to trouble my uncle and the three brothers of the Xu family to help take care of it. I will be leaving soon after the Chinese New Year, so I will have to worry about your family affairs."

Uncle Xu said: "What's the point! Just go out and do business with peace of mind. I hope that one day, our hotpot will be available all over the Dragon Soul Kingdom."

Scholar Qian said with great ambition: "This is also my wish. I, Scholar Qian, will be able to do something great when I reach middle age. It is not too late to do what I failed to do when I was young."

The old man smiled and said: "Scholar, eat the vegetables, eat the vegetables, and eat the second child too. Let's talk after you're full."

After hearing this, everyone picked up the chopsticks at hand and started eating.

The meal ended with everyone talking and laughing. Seeing this, the servants all packed up the food on the table.

Wang said: "Mei Niang, and Chunlan, you girls, if you don't listen to me not to wait around, you must be hungry. You should hurry up and eat something to fill your stomach."

Chunlan bowed and said: "Old madam, we all have agreed that we will eat after the masters have finished eating."

The old lady said: "Why now? Have you ever paid attention to these things before? As long as you respect your duties, the Xu family is just a farmer, and there are not so many rules."

Chunlan said: "Old madam, with the eldest young master here, the Xu family will be able to shine one day. Then we servants must also abide by the rules of a wealthy family. After the masters have finished eating, we servants can eat, so as not to When outsiders saw it, they not only said that we had no rules and overstepped our masters, but also laughed at the Xu family for not setting rules for the servants. We all know that the masters and ladies in the family are very good to us. Because of this, we can never do it because of us. It will bring a stain on the Xu family."

Wang was stunned by Chunlan's words, then nodded happily and said, "You are all good."

Mei Niang also said: "Old madam, what Chunlan girl said is true. Although I don't know what kind of rules a wealthy family has for their servants, I will never be as tolerant and tolerant to each of us as you are, old madam." Jia, so please ask the old lady to grant everyone’s request.”

"Yes, old lady!" All the other maids and servants said in unison.

Seeing everyone's eyes looking at her, Ms. Wang sighed in her heart. Her servants really regarded her as a member of the Xu family. Everyone was doing what was best for the Xu family, which allowed her to live for most of her life. The old lady was extremely moved.

She has often heard of slaves bullying their masters and selling them for glory, but in their family, this is absolutely impossible. This does not mean that it also shows that the Xu family has these servants. What a blessing...

Looking at so many pairs of expectant eyes, Mrs. Wang finally nodded and said: "Okay, then I'll do as you say, but the food and drink are the same as before. You can eat whatever we eat. Everyone is still growing up, so we can’t lose out.”

"Yes, old lady!"

When all the servants heard this, they all laughed and said in unison.

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "Okay, okay, don't look at me like that. Just pack up and go eat."

The old man was also very relieved. The servants in the family were all good, and Qibao picked them one by one from Ren Yazi. I have to say that his granddaughter's taste in people is really impressive.
