Chapter 269 Let's make a deal
At Qingyuan County Pier, the county magistrate Shang Hui was waiting here with a team of government officials.

When an official ship docked, Shang Hui rushed to greet it.

Sanfu got off the boat.

Shang Hui paid his respects and said, "I have met my uncle before."

Sanfu pursed his lips and felt a little embarrassed, "Sir, please get up quickly. You don't have to pay such a courtesy when you see me in the future."

Shang Hui stood up and looked behind him, but he didn't see the master he was thinking about.

"Uncle, why haven't you seen Brother Lin?"

Sanfu: "The eldest brother stayed in the capital and joined the Dragon Scale Guard. He asked me to give you this letter."

Shang Hui's eyes flashed with disappointment, but he was also happy for Lin Dayou.

"The official has long known that Brother Lin is extraordinary and will definitely achieve great success in the future. I didn't expect it to happen so soon."

Sanfu turned sideways and introduced the young man next to him to Shang Hui - he looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a pair of beautiful fox eyes, a casual look, and a sleepy look.

"This is Sir Xie Yunxie, the new county magistrate appointed by the imperial court. He will assist you from now on."

The Lin family held a banquet in the cement square to celebrate, and the whole village was invited.

The banquet was hosted by Erxi, the chef of Huixianlou, and delicacies with full color, aroma and taste were created under his spatula.

Honey fried chicken, eight-treasure duck, spicy and sour fish, braised pork...

Courses of solid hard dishes were served on the table, and the villagers' mouths were filled with oil and bubbles of deliciousness.

For a moment, I couldn't even think of anything to say.

When they were almost done eating, they started chatting.

"Oh my god, Sanfu has become an uncle! The Lin family has become completely prosperous."

"Not only that, I heard that Lin Dayou also joined the Dragon Scale Guards. Those are the guards who specialize in protecting the emperor. From now on, won't he be able to see the emperor every day?"

"Why haven't I seen this kid Sanfu? I also want to ask him what the emperor looks like. Does he look like a god?"

Just when the villagers were talking enthusiastically, the county magistrate came to congratulate him personally and gave him gifts.

Although he only sat for a while and then left, his brief appearance caused an explosion in Mingshui Village.

The emperor was too far away from them, as if he was not from the same world as them, so it was difficult for them to feel awe.

But the county magistrate is their parent official!
Just to control them.

"My dear, even the county magistrate has come to give gifts to the Lin family. The Lin family is really amazing."

"I didn't dare to look up just now. Have you seen what the county magistrate looks like?"

"Chun Niang, my nephew is a very talented person. Can I bring him to you someday to see you?"

……

Just as the villagers were excited about the arrival of the county magistrate, more people sent congratulatory gifts one after another.

"Lord Zheng, the county lieutenant, sent a congratulatory gift, two gift boxes of Sanyuanzhai cakes, eight pieces of silk and satin, twelve pairs of gold and silver needles..."

"The county magistrate thanked you for sending me a congratulatory gift, including six bottles of fragrant dew and a county house deed..."

"The Zhu family sent a congratulatory gift..."

"Master Lu, the county governor, sent a congratulatory gift..."

"Dong Guo Chang sent a congratulatory gift..."

Villagers: "..."

Their moods ranged from envy and jealousy, to shock, and finally to numbness.

It was only at this time that they truly realized that the Lin family was really different.

Although he still lives in the same village as them, he has unknowingly become an existence that they cannot reach.

The aunt who had just pulled Lin Chunniang to introduce her nephew to her suddenly felt that her nephew was not worthy.Liu Guihua, who was jealous of the Lin family's good fortune not long ago, can't say a word now.

How can she still be jealous when the object of her jealousy reaches a height that she cannot look up to?
She just hoped that the Lin family would forget about her, otherwise she would be in trouble in the future.

Another family meeting.

Erxi: "I always wanted to open a restaurant by myself before. After I saved enough money, I also learned all the dishes that I should learn. But when I stayed at Huixianlou, I understood a truth.

"To open a restaurant, you must not only have delicious food, but also have a background and connections, otherwise it will be easily ruined."

He looked at his younger brother, "Now that Sanfu has become an uncle, and my eldest brother has joined the Dragon Scale Guard, I also have someone to support me, so I don't have to worry about anything anymore. If anyone dares to deliberately cause trouble in the future, I will move out of my eldest brother's home." Come with Sanfu’s name.”

Sanfu is a little shy, but also very proud. Now he can also protect his family.

"Well, second brother, just tell me my name from now on."

Erxi laughed and rubbed his head.

Yu Niang: "Second brother, when you open the restaurant, won't we have to pay when we go there to eat?"

Erxi smiled and nodded her forehead, "That's all you can do."

Yu Niang hugged his arm and leaned towards him with a smile, "Who told you that you are my second brother?"

After discussing it, Erxi was gearing up and ready to show off his talents.

The next day he went to Huixian Tower and told the shopkeeper about his resignation.

Shopkeeper Chen also knew that Er Xi's status was completely different. His elder brother joined the Dragon Scale Guard and became the emperor's guard, and his younger brother was awarded the title of Uncle Divine Worker. Even if he didn't want to let him go, how could he dare to force him to stay? Woolen cloth?

He happily agreed, and said as if it was true: "Er Xi, if we meet in the business in the future, you have to be merciful to me, my old boss."

Erxi: "What you said is that I want you to take more care of me."

After coming out of Huixian Tower, Erxi was about to move things onto the hired carriage when a familiar voice sounded behind him.

"Lin Erxi, aren't you working in Huixian Tower?"

Erxi turned around and looked at Zhu Min, who had resumed her women's clothing, and said "hmm".

Seeing that his expression was indifferent and that he was not surprised at all by his women's clothing, Zhu Min couldn't help but feel a little discouraged and a little unconvinced.

Although her appearance is not unparalleled, she is still a charming beauty, right?

This Lin Erxi actually wasn't moved at all.

Little did she know that Erxi's aesthetics had long been elevated to a level far beyond ordinary people by her three sisters.

The three sisters of the Lin family are all beauties in both bones and skin, and they are each beautiful in their own way.

Even the youngest Xibao in the family is as delicate and cute as a little fairy child.

How could he be dazzled by Zhu Min's beauty?

After pestering Lin Erxi for so long, he remained unmoved, so Zhu Min had to change his strategy.

"Lin Erxi, let's make a deal."

After a while, there was an elegant room in a teahouse.

Zhu Min: "Congratulations. Now you have become the son of the uncle's family and a nobleman of our Qingyuan family."

Erxi did not answer, "What is the deal you are talking about?"

Zhu Min: "You are such a person. We haven't seen each other for such a long time. We finally met each other. What happened to a few words of greeting? What are you in such a hurry for?"

Erxi got up and left.

Zhu Min hurriedly stopped him: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore, let's get down to business."

Er Xi looked at her steadily, with suspicion in his eyes. Zhu Min's face turned hot when he saw her, and she glared at him, "Do you still want to hear it?"

Erxi finally sat back.
