Wang's little lady

Hongdou and grandma looked at each other and couldn't guess who would come at this time. But we cannot let outsiders continue to knock on the door and ask questions.

Danhong also heard the noise in the kitchen and took the initiative to come over and ask Hongdou:

"Girl, I'll go take a look first, and then I'll report back after I find out the identity of the person coming."

Hongdou nodded and signaled Danhong to go first, then asked everyone to eat the food first, and followed her to have a look. She was also very curious.

Danhong opened the door, and then realized that the person outside looked familiar. After thinking about it carefully, wasn't this one of the poor men he saw in the Yamen last time?

Could it be that something big happened? But the other party didn't wear the same clothes as the yamen, so he probably thought too much.

"May I ask this big brother who you are looking for?" Dan Hong asked bravely. As long as we are not looking for trouble, everything else is easy to discuss.

The man outside the door saw Dan Hong's nervousness and said cheerfully:

"Girl, don't be afraid. I am here to give the Xie family a housewarming gift on the orders of my family."

It was actually the county magistrate who specially sent someone to give a gift to his employer. This was such a shameful thing that Dan Hong couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

Just at this time, Hongdou also came to the gate. Hearing the man's words, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect the county magistrate to be so respectful.

She didn't prepare Mr. Jiang's meals. She knew she wouldn't come, but she never thought that Mr. Jiang would ask someone from the Yamen to deliver gifts.

And it seemed that she had no intention of covering it up at all. It was simply giving her a face in front of everyone.

Of course she wouldn't be ungrateful. Anyone who doesn't appreciate it is stupid.

"Mr. Jiang is busy with affairs on weekdays, but he still remembers the little Xie family. Nothing makes my family happier than this."

"It just so happens that we haven't started the banquet yet. It's rare for you to come here, big brother. You must stay and have dinner before leaving."

Hong Dou said, motioning to Dan Hong to take the gift from the other person's hand, and then led the man to go inside, asking for the other person's name along the way.

"May I ask what you call this big brother?"

"My surname is Tan, and I am the chief catcher of the yamen. The brothers below all call me boss."

"I'm older than Miss Xie by many years. If she doesn't mind, just call me Brother Tan."

Tan Captou secretly thought that he was already thirty, and if he were a few years older, he could be his father.

However, he felt that he was in his prime and did not want to be called old.

Hongdou naturally called Brother Tan. Then he motioned to Danhong to go to the kitchen and prepare an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks.

Danhong nodded and left quickly.

When they arrived at the lobby, no one started eating, they were all waiting for Hongdou to see who was coming outside. Unexpectedly, a rare visitor actually came.

"Everyone, this is Mr. Tan from the Yamen. Today I was specially entrusted by Mr. Jiang to give you a housewarming gift."

Then he introduced the men's seats to Mr. Tan:

"This is Mr. Xu, this is Xiaobao, the grandson of Mr. Xu, and this is my younger brother, Brother Tuan."

"This is my godfather, Dr. Sun, and this is my senior brother Sanqi. Here is my cousin, also named Sun, and this is my cousin."

After Hongdou gave a brief introduction, Danhong and Aunt Qu quickly brought over the bowls, chopsticks and stools and asked Tan to sit down.

"I kept you waiting for a long time. I should have arrived earlier, but I only found out on the way that the horse ate the wrong thing, so I was delayed. I will punish myself with a drink."

Tan Captou looked like a cheerful man at first glance. After speaking, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and started drinking, but the taste was a little sweet.

It's not like the white wine I usually drink. It's also very dark in color and not as enjoyable to drink as white wine. Hongdou had already taken the time to ask Aunt Qu to prepare some white wine. Upon seeing this, he explained: "This is home-brewed fruit wine. Brother Tan should not be used to drinking it on weekdays."

"This is specially prepared for you. You drink this."

Seeing that everything was arranged, Hongdou made everyone uncomfortable if she stayed any longer, so she secretly told her brother to greet the guests while she left first.

After Tan Botou thanked him generously, he put the wine jar at hand and poured a bowl for Fusheng and Sun Youtian who were beside him. Fusheng and Sun Youtian waved their hands and refused:

"Master Catcher, I, I can't get used to drinking this kind of wine. This wine is too strong."

"Yeah, we don't drink on weekdays, I'm really sorry." Sun Youtian explained timidly. After all, he was from the yamen, and the people were naturally afraid of him.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Tan was very enthusiastic and considerate in his actions. He explained with a smile:

"Mr. Xu is a scholar, so he probably doesn't like this kind of strong alcohol. Dr. Sun and Sanqi need to see a doctor at all times and cannot drink."

"Needless to say, the two babies are too young. Uncle Sun and Little Brother Sun, you have nothing to do, why don't you drink?"

"Especially if little brother Sun doesn't start practicing, I'm afraid he will be so indoctrinated that he won't be able to recognize the bride when he gets married in the future, hahaha."

Capt. Tan's friendly jokes made the atmosphere instantly relaxed. Fusheng seemed to have thought of something when he heard the word "marriage", and his face immediately turned red.

"I, I'll try, try." Then he picked up the bowl and took a sip. The first discomfort made him choke and cough.

"Ahem, okay, it's so spicy." Fusheng said with a frown on his face.

"Hahahaha." Everyone laughed kindly, and Tan Tou continued: "Have a few more sips and you'll get used to it, hahahaha."

There was a lot of fun and laughter on one side, and the female family members on the other side also heard it clearly.

Hongdou also took the opportunity to explain to everyone the identity of the visitor, and Lu Moyu and Guo glanced at Hongdou again.

They always thought that the Xie family was just doing a small business and nothing else. Guo came because of Zhao Jinyuan's face and the fact that the two families cooperated.

And Lu Moyu came here because of his personal relationship with Hongdou.

I didn't expect that the Xie family and the county magistrate were so concerned about each other, that they actually asked the yamen chief to come over and give gifts.

If it was just a random boy who came to give a gift and then left, they wouldn't think anything of it, but it was the head catcher from the yamen who came, so the weight was naturally different.

After today, all the respectable people in the town knew that the Xie family was on good terms with the county magistrate, and no one dared to cause trouble for the Xie family.

I don’t know if the county magistrate is because of the tea business. . . What's the other reason?

"Mr. Jiang should be very concerned about the tea business, right?" Guo asked briefly. She had also inquired in advance about the Xie family and found out that the Xie family did not have any background.

Hongdou didn't think much and just answered casually: "Yes, Mr. Jiang encourages villagers from other towns to come to us to send tea."

It must be for the sake of her partners that Master Jiang promoted her to this position.

But it's also a good thing. In the future, it will be more convenient to do things in the town or even in the county.

When Guo heard it, she felt that she had guessed it right. Apart from the tea business, she really couldn't imagine why Mr. Jiang would give the Xie family such face.

She originally thought that the adult might have a crush on the Xie family girl, but then she thought it was wrong.

Mr. Jiang comes from a wealthy family, and he must have met countless high-ranking women.

Although the Xie family girl has some abilities, compared with the rich family's background, she is still far behind. Sure enough, she thinks too much.

If my second brother knew about it, I'm afraid he would be angry.
