Farmer's happy event

Chapter 429
"Sister-in-law", Li Shuxuan muttered again.

The woman came back to her senses in a daze, and hurriedly shouted inside: "Father Dawang, my sister is back, my sister is back—"

The man in the room heard the woman's protracted yelling, and hurried out, saying, "Why are you yelling?"

But when he saw the person standing at the door, his legs seemed to be frozen for an instant, and he couldn't take a step.

"Brother, brother—" Seeing him, Li Shuxuan couldn't bear it anymore, ran over a few steps, and hugged his neck.

Yuzhu watched from the side, although she was happy that the young lady saw her relatives, but at this moment her heart was aroused.

In any case, he is now the daughter of a first-rank official's family. Even if he is a real brother, there are differences between men and women. Wouldn't it be good?
But Li Shuxuan and the others didn't realize this. First, seeing their loved ones safe again was more reassuring than anything else. Second, the folk customs in the northwest were tough, which was nothing.

"Xuanxuan? Is it really Xuanxuan?" The man couldn't hide his excitement and kept asking.

Li Shuxuan just cried on his shoulder and kept nodding her head.The woman watched from the sidelines, and couldn't help raising her sleeves to wipe her tears.

"Xuanxuan, why are you back?" the man asked with a look of disbelief.

Wasn't she taken by that high official to be his daughter?The neighbors all said that she was lucky, given this opportunity, why did she come back so soon?
Upon hearing this, Li Shuxuan left her elder brother's shoulder, wiped her tears, and said, "I heard that there was a flood here, so I was worried about my elder brother and sister-in-law, so I rushed back to have a look."

The brothers and sisters-in-law couldn't help being moved when they heard the words.Come back to see what she said, I'm afraid it's not that easy.

Li Shuxuan hurriedly asked again: "How is brother and sister-in-law? Is there any loss in the family?"

The man shook his head and said, "No, it's nothing, my sister doesn't need to worry about it."

But the woman said again: "Yeah, fortunately our family is fine, but this flood was really sudden and fierce. In the lower reaches of the Hulun River, I heard that many people drowned. "

Hearing this, Li Shuxuan felt relieved, no matter what happened, as long as the person is healthy, it will be fine, and the lost things will come back.

"Come on, go into the room quickly, don't stand outside." The woman gave way, and then several people entered the main room together.The already small room suddenly became crowded because of so many people coming in.

The siblings told each other what happened after parting, and then the woman went into the kitchen to cook, and after a good meal, the accompanying guards went out to the posthouse.

But by coincidence, due to the flood, the inn was damaged and could not live in the inn, so the guards went to a nearby inn to rest.

When I saw my brother and sister-in-law just now, I haven't finished what I wanted to say. Li Shuxuan has already completely forgotten what Mrs. Li told her before.

At this time, Mrs. Qiu, the magistrate's wife of Liangcheng, heard that the officials from the capital had arrived, so she expected that Li Shuxuan had already arrived.

Mrs. Li's mother and she are distant relatives, but because the relationship is too far away, they don't often communicate with each other.And she married into a rich merchant's family, even though her husband is only the county magistrate of a small border county, her status is higher than her.It's just that what she didn't expect was that her daughter would suddenly become the wife of a first-rank official. It was really unexpected.

Ever since she found out about this, she thought that she might be able to move around from it, to make it easier for her husband in his official career, and to get away from this poor place.It's just that I have been suffering from no chance to get acquainted.

But this time it was all right, just when she was struggling with nothing to do, she received a letter from Mrs. Li's mother, asking her to take care of Li Shuxuan.

The words in the letter were urgent, even if she didn't say it clearly, she could understand it.She knows about the affairs between the inner houses of those big families, even if it is taken care of, it is nothing more than surveillance.

It was on her own territory again, so she readily agreed to this matter.However, all the officials from the capital had already arrived, and they didn't see this girl coming to her, and no one came in to tell her at the gate.

Mrs. Qiu couldn't help becoming anxious. If she just came here and something that shouldn't have happened here, how should she explain to the people in Beijing?Is her husband's official career going?
Thinking about this, Mrs. Qiu made a secret decision in her heart, since she won't come to her, then she will go to her first.

She thought in her heart that Li Shuxuan said that she was here to see her brother and sister-in-law, so if she didn't come to see her after she arrived, she must have gone to her brother's house.

"Come here, prepare the carriage." Mrs. Qiu ordered, and called the girl to come over and change her clothes and make up for her before getting into the carriage and going out.

Although she didn't know where Li Shuxuan's elder brother's home was, she could easily find out by asking the maidservant to inquire.

Let's say that after Li Shuxuan and her brother and sister-in-law had dinner together, they sat and talked.When she left home, her sister-in-law was not pregnant, but now she even gave birth to a child.

Li Shuxuan held the soft baby and kept teasing him.

Suddenly, there was a sound of carriages and horses at the entrance of the quiet courtyard.

"Is anyone at home?" A female voice asked.

Li Shuxuan's sister-in-law heard the shout and went out to have a look. When she saw the person coming, she was surprised for a long time.

The one who came back was a middle-aged woman, also wearing gorgeous clothes, but she didn't recognize her.

"Excuse me, is Miss Li here?" the maid asked.

When she asked this, my sister-in-law was even more surprised. The man in her family was surnamed Zeng. Where did Miss Li come from?

"Yes, yes." It was the elder brother who heard the words and came out and replied.

When the maid heard that she was here, she hurriedly turned her head and said, "Ma'am, you are here."

The woman walked forward with a smile.

Li Shuxuan heard that someone was looking for her, and followed her elder brother to come out to see, but after seeing the people in the yard, she found that she did not know her.

Mrs. Qiu stepped forward and said to Li Shuxuan: "Miss Li, I am entrusted by Mrs. Li to invite you."

Only then did Li Shuxuan remember that there was still such a thing.

At the same time, my sister-in-law also remembered, it seems that the family my sister went to was named Li, and now she is Miss Li.

"Thank you Madam." Li Shuxuan bowed and said.

"Miss, you're being polite. When I talk to my brother and sister-in-law, I will go back with me." Mrs. Qiu said again.

Li Shuxuan was in a dilemma. She had just met her brother and sister-in-law, and she didn't want to leave so soon.It would be even better if you could live here.

"Sister, there is really not much free time at home, why don't you go live with this lady." Brother said.

Of course, he also wanted Li Shuxuan to live at home, but firstly, he couldn't lose face to the lady, and secondly, there was really no room at home, so he couldn't let her live in a grievance.

Li Shuxuan didn't speak when she heard the words. After a while, she said, "Brother, sister-in-law, this is the county magistrate's wife."

The brothers and sisters-in-law were all taken aback when they heard the words, they had never seen the county magistrate's wife before.

I heard that you will kneel when you meet the county magistrate, but do you also kneel when you see your wife?

Just as they were thinking, they suddenly heard Madam Qiu say: "Yes, your brother agrees, you can go back and live with me."

Li Shuxuan thought for a while, nodded and said, "Then please trouble Madam."

Madam Qiu hurriedly shook her head and said no trouble, and then was let into the main room by Li Shuxuan's brother and sister-in-law.

After she came, the conversation became visibly stiff. After a while, Li Shuxuan suggested that she should not keep her waiting and go back with her.

On the way, Mrs. Qiu smiled and said, "Let me just say, I heard that the two adults from the capital have arrived, why didn't they see you? After thinking about it, I realized, don't be embarrassed by you anymore, go home directly. That’s why I thought about going to see it.”

After she said this, she smiled again: "You don't have to be embarrassed, just treat it as your own home."

Li Shuxuan thanked again with a smile.

When they arrived at the county government office, they entered the gate and got off the carriage. Sure enough, Li Shuxuan saw several horses tied up in the compound, and they were very familiar to her.So it was estimated that Su Keyan was still in the county government at this time, and he didn't know where they would live.

Su Keyan was discussing the project with the county magistrate Qiu Jie and officials from the Ministry of Industry.

"Although the flood has receded, this year is very strange. It has rained several times in a row, which has never been encountered in previous years." Qiu Jie said.

Su Keyan nodded. When he came, although the road surface was already dry, he could still feel that the air was very humid, unlike the feeling that the northwest frontier should have. Therefore, he guessed that it must have just rained.

"Since it often rains, it is very unfavorable to the project, so we should be careful." Su Keyan said.

Qiu Jie nodded in agreement, and said again: "In this way, I will thank you two adults."

After temporarily discussing a plan, Qiu Jie said: "My lords, why don't you come here first, your lord must be exhausted all the way, you should take a good rest, the next official has prepared a welcome dinner."

Zhang Ling, a member of the Ministry of Industry, nodded and said: "That's fine, let's go to the post house to clean up first. To tell you the truth, this month, I really haven't had a good rest."

But Qiu Jie cupped his hands and replied: "My lords don't need to go to the post house."

Su Keyan heard the words, immediately looked up at him, and heard him explain: "A few days ago, there was a flood, the post house was destroyed, and it hasn't been repaired yet?"

"Then where do we live?" Zhang Ling asked.

Qiu Jie chuckled: "If the two adults don't dislike it, you can live in the lower official's house."

This, I'm afraid it's inconvenient.

Su Keyan was thinking in his heart, but suddenly heard Zhang Ling say: "That's it, then I'll have to work."

Qiu Jie hurriedly said politely, and then personally led them to the residence.

Although Su Keyan felt that this was not appropriate, but after thinking about it carefully, there was no better way to do it in a hurry, so he could only do this first.

However, when Qiu Jie led them to their residence, Su Keyan suddenly saw Li Shuxuan's figure in a corridor.This made him even more depressed. It's a coincidence, why did he meet her?
