Mrs. Li immediately came to a conclusion for Lin County Chancellor, looked at her son worriedly and asked: "The old boy doesn't have any good intentions at first glance, won't he trip you up?"

"Grandma, don't worry. Daddy is the county magistrate appointed by the imperial court. Even if the county magistrate Lin wanted to trip you up, he didn't dare to blatantly show it. We were prepared in advance, and we are not afraid of him. Besides, he is an old official like him. , My own butt is not that clean, so it's very easy for us to find his fault." Li Meier smiled and replied to Mrs. Li's words.

Li Yan also smiled at the side, and echoed: "Don't worry, mother, I can't talk about other places. I'm not afraid of anyone in Yin County."

Then Mrs. Li slapped her thigh and said: "Then old lady, I am relieved, you and your wife are living in this mansion for a few days, I will take the children back to live in the old house, I am not used to living here. "

"That's fine. I'll ask all the servants in the family to go back with you. The old house has been taken care of by your third cousin. After a little tidying up, people should be able to live in it."

Jiang also had this plan. Although the county office has been cleaned, there are still many places that are very old. She doesn't want her mother-in-law, son and daughter to live here.

When mentioning third uncle Li Xin, Li Meier asked again: "Father, you haven't informed third uncle and others about our return, have you?"

Li Yan nodded, "We came back in a hurry, and with the matter of the two of you, I didn't write him a letter, thinking that I would invite them to come home after I settled down in Yin County."

Li Mei'er thought for a while, and then said: "Since County Chancellor Lin and Master Wang already know that the new county magistrate is you, the third uncle will probably know about it soon, so we will send them a post when we get home. Uncle Jiang Xu and his family have to be notified."

Jiang Shi was a little worried when she heard the words, she frowned and said, "Let them know that you... are you okay?"

Li Meier smiled and said in relief: "Mother, you can hide the matter between me and Brother Shanqing from outsiders, but my family can't hide it. It's so far away from the capital, so we don't have to worry about it all the time. Bo and Uncle Jiang Xu have known our family for many years, and they help take care of our family's property and house, don't you believe them, mother?"

Mrs. Jiang thought about it, so she felt relieved, and told Li Meier, "You can send this meal directly to Baiweilou. We have been exhausted on this journey, so you don't have to work so hard to cook."

"I can save it, mother, you don't have to worry." Li Meier replied.

"Don't worry, Auntie, I will take good care of Mei Meier." Jiang Shanqing, who had been silent all this time, also spoke at this time, so that Jiang didn't have to worry about them.

Mrs. Li was in a hurry to go back to the old house, so Li Meier didn't delay, and returned to the old house with her servants.

Entrusted by the Li family, Li Xin has always had well-arranged servants to look after the house. They are two servants in their 40s and a woman of about the same age.

The servant at the gate saw the Li family come back in a mighty way, and was really startled. He thought he had misread it. It was not until he saw Mrs. Li herself that he finally believed that the Li family had really returned.

"Old Lord Feng, why are you back? Where are Master Yan and Madam? Are you back too?" The servant couldn't believe it, and asked happily again.

With a smile on her face, Mrs. Li nodded very reservedly, but she couldn't help but reply proudly, "I'm back, my son has accepted her appointment and returned to Yin County to be the magistrate."

The servant was even more surprised when he heard the words, and his expression became more respectful. First, he bowed again and again, "Congratulations to Lao Fengjun, congratulations to Lao Fengjun, you are really returning to your homeland, I have to tell the master quickly and let him serve Lao Fengjun. .”

Mrs. Li waved her hand, and her smile became more and more blind, "No need, you ask Ah Xin to come to our house, we have already called the banquet at Baiweilou, and we will have a dust-cleaning feast together."

The servant said yes again and again, and ran to inform Li Xin in no time.When Li Mei'er returned home, her heart instantly settled down, and she directed the servants to get busy.

Brother Kang's children were also very excited, running wildly back and forth in the yard, as if they were back to their childhood.

Brother Tuan and Sister Yuan went to the capital not long after they were born. This is the first time they have returned to the old house. Naturally, the two little guys are curious about everything. Although the road is still not stable, they still have fun. .

Jiang Shanqing was instigated by his wife to watch the children, and played hide-and-seek with the children blindfolded, which was quite a joy.

When Li Meier was about to clean up, Li Xin's family also came to the door, and Jiang Xu and his wife came together. What surprised Li Meier was that Chen Pi also came.

Chen Pi's side was naturally called by Jiang Shanqing, and Li Meier asked him quietly, "Chen Pi's side, can you trust me?" After all, he was considered an outsider.

Jiang Shanqing smiled and replied: "I have always had a good eye for seeing people, and since ancient times, most of them have slaughtered dogs. Chen Pi has a very strict tone, and I called him this time because I also wanted to discuss with him about transferring the printing shop. I'm afraid we won't stay in Yin County much in the future, and we don't care if we keep the shop, it's better to sell it directly, and we can do other things with the money in hand."

Li Meier thinks about it too, although his brother Shanqing has a lot of savings, but the days ahead will be long, and there will be a lot of money to spend, who would think that there is too much money.

The young couple were whispering here, and Mrs. Li had already chatted with the guests.

"Second sister-in-law, it's really worthwhile for you to go back to the capital. When I saw you just now, I really didn't dare to recognize you. This is the second sister-in-law I knew before. She looks like a nobleman from the capital. With a smile all over her face, Mrs. Wu held Mrs. Li's hand to flatter her.

"Yeah, Second Aunt, your temperament is not worse than that of Mrs. Lu." Wu's eldest daughter-in-law Qi also echoed with a smile.

"Where is it? It's worse than that of Mrs. Lu. She is a lady from the uncle's family. She has grown up in the capital since she was a noble person." Mrs. Li smiled reservedly. There are not many, and it looks very similar with that shelf.

Wu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seemed to be very familiar with the earl's family when they heard Mrs. Li's tone, and their expressions became more respectful, so they picked some good ones to flatter Mrs. Li.

Although Mrs. Li loves to listen to flattery, she doesn't get tired of hearing too much. She wants to hear more about trivia in the village and the recent situation of relatives and friends, so she asked Mrs. Wu, "Third brothers and sisters, why haven't you seen your brother Ang? Are you still studying in Qingfeng Academy now? And Yuan Xia, she is a few months older than Mei Meier, so she should have reached her age, has her marriage been settled yet?"
