Chapter 638
Hearing Mrs. Li mention her daughter and grandson, Mrs. Wu unconsciously brought a smile on her face, "Brother Ang has been studying hard all these years, and now she is no longer in Qingfeng Academy. She passed the entrance examination at the end of last year. Bailu Academy even invited a very learned old gentleman to be a teacher in the academy, the old gentleman said that Ang Geer is very talented, if he keeps working hard like this, he may be nominated for the laurel list in next year's autumn!"

"Yo! It's a good feeling. Brother Ang is only seventeen this year. If he really wins the Juren, he is really young and promising. Our old Li family may produce another Jinshi!"

Mrs. Li likes to be a motivated kid, and she saw Li Ang like that when she was a child, but now she didn't expect to be so promising.

"Auntie, don't boast, that kid can't compare to Ayan and Shanqing, he is really a Wenqu star, if my brother Ang can be like Ayan, he won the Jinshi in his early thirties, I have to burn incense too! "Although Mrs. Wu spoke modest words, she couldn't hide a gratified smile on her face.

"Don't worry, I think people are always accurate, it will definitely work!" Mrs. Li agreed again, and then turned the topic to the old girl of the Wu family, "Where is that girl Xia Xia, can you say she is someone else?"

This time, Mrs. Wu sighed, and said helplessly, "That girl has a bad temper, and she didn't want to talk to her several times. I must find someone I really like."

Mrs. Li started to gossip as soon as she heard it, she opened her eyes wide and squinted and asked, "What? A Xia has a sweetheart?"

"How can it be! That girl is at home all day, and I don't let her go out on weekdays. She can meet any foreigner, but she is very selective. This girl is different from her sister. She has her own opinions since she was a child, and she doesn't look like her at all. Girl's house."

Wu quickly denied it. Although the township doesn't value girls' reputation that much, Wu still pays attention to it. After all, her family is one of the best in Zhangshui Town.

"It's good for a girl to have her own ideas. When she gets married, she can be a good family and support her family." Mrs. Li has been a tough-tempered girl since she was young, and she also likes hot-tempered female dolls.

Mrs. Wu smiled and nodded in agreement, "Auntie also said that Mei Meier has a very good temper and has her own opinions since she was a child. When she was three or four years old, she was like a little adult. I don't know how rare it is. I look forward to it, my brother Ang will be able to marry such a wife in the future."

"That girl, she was very troublesome when she was young, but she was lucky, and she has a sweet mouth, and she used to please the elders." Li Lao Niang was cheerful, and secretly praised her granddaughter.

Mrs. Li didn't say much about Li Mei'er, she quickly changed the subject, and talked about Li Yuanchun in the capital. After all, Mrs. Wu must be thinking about the eldest daughter in her heart, so she naturally talked more about what people like to hear.

Everyone wentssiping for a while, and Mrs. Li opened up the table, just as Li Yan came back in time, so the men and women sat at each table and began to eat lively.

Li Xin and his son had been pulling Li Yan to toast. Although Li Yan had already practiced his drinking capacity, he couldn't help blushing now.

Li Xin was a frequent visitor to the wine table. He was usually not drunk, but he only talked red-eyed and dragged Li Yan over and over again to express his feelings about his childhood.

Li Jian was a little cautious, perhaps because his status was different now, so he could not help showing some respect to Li Yan.

Jiang Shanqing was considered a junior, and after toasting with the elders, he sat by the side to minimize his presence.

Chen Pi was also sitting next to him, after hesitating for a long time, he still said: "Boss, I want to ask you, do you intend to transfer those two printing shops?"

Jiang Shanqing originally planned to tell Chen Pi about it after the banquet, but he didn't expect Chen Pi to mention it now.

He looked at him with a smile, nodded and said: "I planned to make a move, if you want, I will give you a discount."

Chen Pi waved his hand quickly, "No need! You have taken good care of me all these years, my boss. I will pay the market price of the shop at that price."

He has been running these two printing shops, so he naturally knows how popular they are. Moreover, they have their own exclusive printing method, and the printing quality and speed are incomparable to others.And these are all thanks to the owner.

"I'll give you a discount if I say I'll give you a discount. It's a thank you for the thought you've put into the shop over the years." Jiang Shanqing patted Chen Pi on the shoulder and said.

Chen Pi hesitated for a while, then nodded and said: "Then I thank the boss, and I will bring my son over to kowtow to the boss some other day."

Jiang Shanqing was a little surprised when he heard the words, he patted Chen Pi again, and said with a smile: "You boy can do it! If you move fast enough, you will have a son. I remember that when we left Yin County the year before last, you were not married yet."

Chen Pi was a little embarrassed, his dark face turned red, and he said with a naive smile: "It happened not long after you left, she was a widow, she set up a food stall not far from the printing shop, she was good at crafting, I frequented the shop with the workers, and when I saw her being bullied by the hooligans, I helped her out, and I became acquainted with her after going back and forth. You know, I am not young, the eldest of the Qingbai family. My daughter doesn't like me too, so it's not bad to find a widow to live with..."

Jiang Shanqing listened with a smile, he liked to hear about the lives of these ordinary people, so he asked casually, "Which family is the girl from?"

"Her maiden name is Zhang, and her boudoir name is He." Chen Pi replied.

"Zhang He..." Jiang Shanqing inexplicably felt that the name sounded familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he remembered who it was.

Now he looked at Chen Pi with weird eyes, but thinking about the couple even having children, he didn't say much, just smiled and said: "After a few days, you bring your wife and children over, and we'll meet again." Get together and have a meal."

"Boss, it's our husband and wife who should invite you, I hope you don't dislike it." Chen Pi said hastily.

"That's fine too!" Jiang Shanqing agreed casually, and it was hard to shake Chen Pi's mind.

After drinking for three rounds, almost everyone was drunk, so Li Yan kept Li Xin and his son at home for the night.

Mrs. Jiang had asked someone to tidy up the wing room long ago, and accommodated Li Xin and Jiang Xu's two families.

Jiang Shanqing didn't drink much, but he always drank a lot, and when he returned to his room, his face was blushing.

Li Meier had asked the maid to prepare hot water and hangover soup, and first poured a big bowl for Jiang Shanqing.

After Jiang Shanqing washed his face, he felt much refreshed. He looked at Li Meier with a smile in his eyes and asked, "Who do you think Chen Pi married as a wife?"

Li Meier was baffled by his question, and while changing his clothes, she replied with a smile: "If you ask like this, it must be someone you and I know, but there are quite a few people we all know, so you should give me some hints." .”
