Travel through the farmhouse leisurely

Chapter 298
Hearing the emotions of his younger siblings, Da Lang was a little worried: "These gifts seem to be quite expensive, is it okay for you to accept them?"

"Huh—here's another house deed, which is for brother Xuewen." Lin Xiaoqiao pulled out another good thing.

Chen Xuewen sat aside and watched, the little girl sat on the ground happily, unpacking these gift boxes of different sizes, her eyes were full of smiles.

"It's okay, what are these things to them? If I'm not wrong, anyone who lives in the provincial capital will receive them!" Chen Xuewen said slowly, answering the big question. Lang worried.

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoqiao's eyes widened even more, and he said, "They are really willing, and they are not afraid of giving gifts to the poor! Besides, you are just raising people, not just passing the Jinshi examination, but already becoming officials. , come to curry favor now, wouldn't it be too early!"

"These things are just trivial things to them. You can ask Butler Ping to inquire tomorrow. Which one of the gift-giving companies is not a big business! Although we are not yet an official, but the huge provincial capital, There are less than a hundred candidates this year. There are even fewer people living in the provincial capital, even if they each give a gift, it won't be much." Lu Haojie explained for Lin Xiaoqiao's brothers and sisters.

"Businessmen are used to being friendly with people, especially those who already have some family business, and they know what it means to 'invest in small favors and get big profits'. And they are more likely to bet on the right time, just take these gifts as an example. , if we wait until the time of our gold list titles to give it, it is likely to be called flattery and hypocrisy. However, the timing of giving gifts now is just right, and it will not give people too much sense of "snobbery". Regardless of this year's juren, next spring Can you win again, at least get acquainted with us first." Chen Xuewen then added.

After hearing these words, Lin Xiaoqiao nodded solemnly, and said, "It seems that giving gifts is also a matter of learning!"

"Big Brother, Second Brother, you have to study hard too!" Lin Xiaoqiao patted Dalang Erlang on the shoulder, and said earnestly.

"It's time to learn from now. If the two of you are determined to embark on an official career, it's not enough to just study. It's time to learn these things that you should know!" Chen Xuewen also agreed with Lin Xiaoqiao. If so, he said to the two brothers.

After hearing this, Dalang and Erlang nodded seriously, with an open-minded look on their faces.

"Brother Haojie, you also have a house deed. Now you are rich, and you don't need to work in our shop anymore." Lin Xiaoqiao handed the house deed to Lu Haojie in front of Lu Haojie. , said.

Lu Haojie waved his hand and said, "Who said I don't want to work in the shop anymore, so how can I support myself!"

"The things here, if you take them out and sell them casually, they won't be enough to feed you for years!" Lin Xiaoqiao glanced at him and said, pointing to the things on the ground.

"I didn't say I wanted to take those things. If Sister Xiaoqiao likes them, you can take them! Anyway, I'm going to stay at your house and cheat for food and drink!" Lu Haojie also played with a reckless tone. .

His appearance made Lin Xiaoqiao's brothers and sisters stunned. They didn't expect that Brother Haojie, who is usually gentle and elegant, would have such a shameless side.

"Are you sure? These are worth a lot of money!" Lin Xiaoqiao knew in his heart that if Lu Haojie really didn't want them, he would keep them first.

Lu Haojie didn't even look at it, and said directly: "Sure, sure!"

After Lin Xiaoqiao heard this, he looked at Chen Xuewen with a smile, his big bright eyes were full of 'calculation'.

Chen Xuewen looked funny, so he waved his hand and said, "Brother Xuewen's things are always in the hands of sister Xiaoqiao. The ink jade paperweight and Duan inkstone are kept, and the rest is up to you."

Hearing Chen Xuewen's words, Lu Haojie also hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the ink jade paperweight and Duan inkstone are left behind, those two are good things."

Lin Xiaoqiao nodded cheerfully, "Okay, no problem!"

Three days later, the Lin family fulfilled their promise and set up a banquet, with a total of ten tables, just to celebrate Chen Xuewen and Lu Haojie, who passed the Juren examination, and many strange neighbors also came to the banquet according to the appointment .

The dean of the academy, the gentlemen were also very kind, many of them came, and Lin Xiaoqiao's family was all mobilized, serving tea and water to entertain the guests.

During the dinner, Mr. Hu, who taught them classics and history, drank a few more glasses and got a little drunk, so he held a wine glass and said to Chen Xuewen in a blunt manner: "Han Xue has reached the age of starting a family, right? "

Hearing this, Chen Xuewen frowned slightly. How could Mr. Hu ask such a question in front of everyone at the banquet? He was really drunk.

Although he complained a little in his heart, he still replied respectfully on his face: "Students are only focused on their studies, and don't want to think about other things for the time being."

Mr. Hu stroked the beard under his chin twice, blushed with an old face, nodded in praise and said: "Okay, you have ambition!"

Chen Xuewen smiled and said nothing, and Mr. Hu immediately said: "A good man can also start a family first and then start a career. Hanxue seems to be 16 years old this year. I have a boudoir daughter who is just fourteen years old this year. Although It’s not glamorous, but it’s also very educated.”

Since the table is full of men, even though Widow Zheng is an elder, she is not present at the table, but Lin Erniu, as the master of the house, sits at the top of the table with the dean of the academy, but He has always been taciturn, so he doesn't talk to people much.

At this time, when Lin Erniu heard Mr. Drunk's words, his face darkened instantly, and his complexion became extremely ugly. Mr. Hu's words were already obvious, and they couldn't be more obvious. This is coming. Robbed his son-in-law.

Chen Xuewen glanced at Lin Erniu's uneasy expression, and hurriedly said: "Sir, the student is very grateful for his love, but my mother has already arranged a marriage for the student since she was a child. It's just that the student is not yet famous. It’s not done yet, so I don’t want to mention the matter of getting married yet.”

"Oh——Which family's lady is it?" Being drunk, Mr. Hu had completely lost his usual prudence and politeness, and he actually asked such a question to Chen Xuewen on the spot.

Chen Xuewen was embarrassed and helpless. This Mr. Hu is not like this usually. Just when he didn't know how to answer, the dean of the academy spoke out at this time and helped him out: "Brother Mingyu loves talents, we all I know, but no matter how talented the students are, they can't just go to their own homes!"

The dean was also smiling, watching this, the student became a virtuous son-in-law, and many things happened in their academy. His own two daughters were promised to him back then, and his two The proud student is doing well now.
