Chapter 337 The Boss Is Here
After driving away the sisters from the Qian family, Ji Xinmiao was still early for dinner, and the guests were being greeted, so she went back to the storage room to deflate her fruit enzymes.One bad thing here is that there is no automatic exhaust barrel, so she has to exhaust it every day.If the fruit fermented, it would produce a lot of bubbles. If she didn't exhaust the air, the barrel would blow up one day.That would be a pity for her fruit!
Li Jinshi looked at the buckets of cold water soaking the fruits, and she said regretfully, "Sister and sister, what are you doing? Such delicious pears, how did you make them like this? Is this still edible?"

Ji Xinmiao smiled: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, this is very good. I will send you a few jars next summer. The water soaked in fruit will be drunk after half a year. The sweet and sour taste is really good , People in bitter summer drink it, it clears the stomach and appetizers, clears heat and detoxifies.”

No way?Soaking fruit in water becomes a good medicine?

Li Jin shook his head and said, "I've never heard that this pear can be used as a good medicine just by soaking it in water. You never found this method. Why do you always make some weird things in your house? I really admire you."

Ji Xinmiao doesn't want people to see her as a monster, and women are too smart, which is not a good thing.In this era where men are superior to women, a woman has to be a husband and a child to be a model.Even if she doesn't want to be a role model, she shouldn't be an outlier, making people think you are a strong woman.

So she explained with a smile: "Actually, how could I know this method? Isn't this the method that the young master of the Lin family brought for me from the capital? He said that it is popular for the noble ladies in the capital to drink this. Well, it’s appetizing and detoxifying, and it’s said that regular drinking can make women look better. Because we’re friends, he asked for a prescription for me.”

So this is ah?

No wonder there are so many weird things in this brother and sister's house. It turned out that the method was passed down by those nobles in Beijing, so it must be said by the imperial doctor in Beijing, right?
Li Jinshi never asked again.

"Sister-in-law, elder brother asked me to call you, what are you talking about?" Just as the two were about to leave the cellar door, Qi Erqin carried his son to the cellar to look for Ji Xinmiao.

"My lord? Where's your lord?" Usually the Qi family doesn't have much contact with the official family, and today they didn't invite any high-ranking officials, and the mayor arrived early, why is there another high-ranking official?
Qi Erqin quickly shook his head: "I didn't see any adults, but Zhu San, the doorkeeper, came in and told my elder brother. As soon as my elder brother heard that an adult was coming, he immediately asked me to look for you."

After Qi Dalang learned that Mr. Chen came to the door in person, and confessed to Mr. Jiang, Mr. Lin and the mayor, he almost ran out of the door.

Seeing Zhu San leading Mr. Chen and his party into the inner house, Qi Dalang hurried over to salute.

Chen Lie waved his hand: "This is not a yamen, and there are no big or small people here. We are all brothers who came from the battlefield, so there is no need to be formal!"

Qi Dalang bowed gratefully: "General, please come inside!"

Chen Lie has been on the battlefield for nearly 20 years, and he has been in the local area. As long as he is not in the yamen, he likes his brothers to call him general.Now that he has retired from the battlefield due to injury, it is indeed difficult to come to this place to be a magistrate.Therefore, when these close subordinates call him general in his spare time, he will feel a sense of fulfillment in his heart.

Along the way, Chen Lie carefully looked at the structure of the Qi family's new residence, and felt that it was too different from ordinary rich families.This place is not like the residence of a rich family, but rather like a farmhouse, but it is also indescribably exquisite.When I arrived at the inner house, I realized that there was something wrong with it.

"Where did you invite an expert to design this style?" Chen Lie asked with great interest.

Qi Dalang said politely: "General, you are being polite. I didn't ask any experts for help. These are all done by my wife."

"Oh? Your Madam actually understands this?"

Seeing that his boss seemed to appreciate his daughter-in-law very much, Qi Dalang smiled happily in his heart: "She just loves to toss about these little things."

"Small thing? Well, it's small. It's just a small farm house, and it's really small. I think it covers less than five acres of land, right? It's really not big. But the whole thing looks good, you It hasn't been tidied up yet, when the trees and grass in your front yard grow up, it will be more beautiful than the gardens of high officials in the city."

It's not good to be praised like this, otherwise my daughter-in-law will definitely be noticed by others, even my boss and brother.

Qi Dalang didn't know that his daughter-in-law was not only noticed, but their husband and wife were also set up!
"Praise the general, it's really just my wife's tossing around. Compared with the house of a rich family, my house is a farm house." Qi Dalang led Master Chen to the tea room where Jiang Jialei and Lin Chen were resting, and introduced : "General, this is your distinguished guest. This is the young master Lin Chen, the eldest son of the Lin family in the capital, and this is the eldest son Jiang Jialei from the Jiang family in Luzhou. Two sons, this is the boss of someone from Qi. Master Chen, the magistrate!"

When Qi Dalang introduced, the eyes of both parties lit up when they heard the name, and they greeted at the same time.

Even Lin Shangshu's eldest grandson came to Shangping Village, it seems that Mrs. Qi is really extraordinary.Thinking of this, Chen Lie became more confident in his plan.

Ji Xinmiao came in when Chen Lie raised her lips. When she saw Chen Lie and Liu Chenghu, she was so surprised that she said to Qi Dalang, "Master, these two brothers were looking for you at that time."

My little daughter-in-law really has nothing to scare her, right?Mr. Chen has been on the battlefield for nearly 20 years. If he doesn't laugh, he is not angry and arrogant.But his little daughter-in-law yelled as soon as she entered the door, regardless of her background. Qi Dalang really couldn't laugh or cry: "Daughter-in-law, come and meet Mrs. Chen. This is my boss, the current prefect of Luzhou."

Then he pointed to Liu Chenghu and introduced: "This is your brother-in-law Liu Chenghu, brother Liu, who is on the battlefield. He is currently serving as a counselor by your side, and the official residence is from the fifth rank."

The two looked at a woman with a terribly big belly in front of them. At the moment Qi Dalang introduced her, Chen Lie didn't notice the slightest bit of fear in this woman.Until the surprise on her face receded, he didn't find any fear.

This woman is really extraordinary.

Well, it did not disappoint him.

"I've met my lord before! I was negligent last time, please don't be offended."

Ji Xinmiao greeted Mr. Chen politely, and then smiled and said: "The humble house is simple, please don't dislike it, Mr. Chen."

"Hahaha, Mrs. Qi is polite! You are much more beautiful than the backyard of my magistrate! Today, the general came and did not prepare any big gifts. Even if it is a small gift, Mrs. Qi is so polite." Seeing Ji Xinmiao's calm expression, Chen Lie also made a joke.

Prettier than the prefect's backyard?

Is this possible?

A farmhouse, in the eyes of others, is novel, but the wealth is not there.

How can the house of a rich family be comparable to this farmhouse?Isn't the general's praise too much?Suddenly, Ji Xinmiao thought about the last time Mr. Chen and Mr. Liu came to the house, and a strange feeling arose in his heart: it wasn't that she was suspicious, it was that the man in his family went to the big boss, how could he bring a What about people running to their own homes?
