In front of the Governor's Mansion, the formation was ready. The carriage had already stopped in front of the mansion, and the guards lined up in front of the mansion gate. Although Chu Huan signaled everyone not to draw their knives, everyone's hands were still on the hilt of the knife. superior.

The carriage came to a complete stop, a few riders came up from behind, and they rolled off their horses one after another. Chu Huan could see clearly at this moment that the first person was none other than Su Zhongyan, the eldest son of the Su family.

Behind Su Zhongyan, there were several men in brocade clothes, all of whom were in their 40s or [-]s. In terms of age, Su Zhongyan should be the oldest. Chu Huan was a little surprised to see Su Zhongyan bringing a group of people over, but he saw that Su Zhongyan had already walked quickly. Beside the carriage, he opened the carriage door and reached out to help a person out. Seeing that person, Chu Huan raised his eyebrows, stepped forward quickly, and said, "Master, why are you here?" It was immediately apparent that the person who got off the horse was the Patriarch of the Su family, Mrs. Su.

Mrs. Su got out of the carriage, and someone next to him handed a deer-head crutch. The old man took it and put it on the ground. When he saw Chu Huan coming to welcome him, a smile appeared on his old face, and he said, "Master Chu, you came to Shuoquan , Xiao Lao failed to meet him far away, you can't blame...!"

Chu Huan looked calm and composed before, but he was not in a good mood. Seeing the old man at this time, his mood immediately relaxed a lot. He stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "The old man is here, this junior salutes you...!" He Linlang and Linlang have already made a private decision for life. Although they don't have the name of husband and wife for the time being, they already have the reality of husband and wife. They have made up their minds that they will never let Linlang down. If you are a woman, then this old man can be regarded as your own grandparent, and you should meet him as a junior in private.

Seeing Chu Huan salute, the old lady stretched out a hand to hold Chu Huan's arm, and said with a smile, "Don't do that, Mr. Chu, you are too polite...!"

Chu Huan immediately said solemnly: "Grandpa, the younger generation is definitely not being polite. You are Lin Lang's grandfather, and that is also the younger generation's grandfather. Seeing the grandfather, it is only natural...!"

The old man showed a gratified smile on his face, and said: "Even if you say it like this, I, an old man, can really be honored by you."

When Chu Huan heard this, his heart suddenly burst into joy again.

Although the affair between him and Lin Lang is a fait accompli and will last forever, Chu Huan also knows that the old man must know about it, but he is not sure that the Su family will accept it.

Lin Lang's father entered the customs from the northwest and set up a separate family, but he did not draw a clear line with the clan, let alone sever the relationship with the clan. Therefore, in the genealogy, Linlang's family still belongs to the Su family in the northwest.

Although the Su family was in distress, the lean camel was bigger than a horse. The Su family still owned a large area of ​​land and many shops in Xiguan. As long as they got help, they could recover slowly over time. The Su family was among the seven surnames in Xiguan. , ranked first, it is a first-class gentry family in Xiguan, but any such family will have a lot of attention, which is what ordinary people call family style.

Chu Huan used to have concerns. Lin Lang is a member of the Su family, a big family of the Su family. If she marries Lin Lang at that time, will the Su family become a big obstacle? Anyway, if Lin Lang changes and remarries, there will always be some people To make irresponsible remarks, if the Su family cared about the style of the family and obstructed them everywhere, although Chu Huan would not be afraid, there would always be some troubles.

He called the old man a grandfather just now. Apart from showing respect, he also tried to test it. The old man is naturally an extremely shrewd person. He obviously understood the meaning of Chu Huan's words. He was not polite, but said bluntly that he could accept Chu Huan's gift , The meaning in these words is that if the relationship between Chu Huan and Lin Lang is accepted, it will naturally be a great joy for Chu Huan.

Chu Huan was overjoyed, and immediately bowed deeply to the old man. At this time, Xuanyuan Shengcai and a large group of people behind the old man looked at each other in blank dismay. The gentry saluted, appearing to be very respectful.

After saluting, the old lady stopped him immediately, and said to Chu Huan, "These are just a little thought from everyone. I know that you are new here, and you haven't been able to prepare many things, so we have roughly prepared some things that the mansion needs. ...!"

At this time, a person came up to Chu Huan, and smiled at Chu Huan: "Master Chu, do you still remember Xiao Lao?"

"Uncle Qian, why are you here?" Chu Huan immediately recognized that the 50-year-old old man in front of him was the head of the Qian family, one of the seven surnames in Xiguan, named Qian Boyi.

The Qian family also suffered, and the West Pass fell. Qian Boyi brought the Qian family into the pass. Together with the Su family, they experienced hardships and hardships. Later, Lin Lang found out the whereabouts of the old man, and personally brought the Su family members from Tongzhou. They were brought to Yunshan, and even the Qian family who were in trouble with the Su family were also taken to Yunshan and taken in.

When Chu Huan was in Yunshan, he also had contact with the head of the Qian family, and knew that the Qian and Su families were very close.

Qian Boyi said with a smile: "We found out early in the morning that Mr. Chu is going to take office in Yuezhou, so everyone prepared some things, and please accept them."

At this time, there were already many people bowing their hands to Chu Huan. Chu Huan knew very well that most of these people were from the Xiguan Seven Surnames, or had a relationship with the Xiguan Seven Surnames.

"Grandpa, Uncle Qian, and everyone, you are too polite." Chu Huan sighed in his heart. When he was in Yunshan, he came into contact with the seven surnames of Xiguan by chance and helped them. It was not because of What kind of feelings do I have for the seven surnames of Xiguan, the main reason is because of Lin Lang, and secondly, I hate Gao Lian from the bottom of my heart, and I don't want Gao Lian to succeed in their schemes, but in the end, I benefit a lot from it. Xiguan has already received the help of the seven surnames of Xiguan, "You have just returned to Xiguan not long ago, and now you are still recovering, and you are not yet rich. These things... I really can't accept it!"

The old man shook his head and said: "If you don't accept it, everyone will feel uncomfortable. The seven surnames in Xiguan can have a chance to make a comeback, thanks to your lord...!" Without any explanation, he raised his hand and said: "Zhongyan, Zhongshi, let everyone Send things in, arrange everything, if the mansion can't be tidied up tonight, everyone don't sleep...!"

Qian Boyi also immediately made people move. Chu Huan saw that the old lady was determined and helpless, but she heard that the old lady had already said: "My lord, you don't have to worry about someone gossiping behind your back. The things we sent are not Gold, silver, and no jewels, only tables, chairs, screens, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and some rice and flour dry food, since you call me grandfather, these things are some of the turnover of my family, and they are not considered bribes...!"

Chu Huan laughed. At this time, Su Zhongyan and others had already started to unload the car. Xuanyuan Shengcai and others finally knew that the group of people who came tonight were friends rather than enemies. They were relieved. Xuanyuan Shengcai had ordered Everyone helped unload the goods, but Chu Huan had already invited Mrs. Su and a few others to sit in the mansion, and even supported Mrs. Su himself.

The Governor's Mansion suddenly became lively. The main hall of the Governor's Mansion has not been tidied up yet, so Chu Huan could only take the old man and others to the side hall. The side hall is not spacious, but it has been cleaned up very cleanly. In addition to the old lady, Qian Boyi, the head of the Qian family with seven surnames in Xiguan, Hong Shengtao, the head of the Hong family, and Fu Yusheng, the head of the Fu family, were also invited to sit in the side hall, and the servants also served tea.

"Seven surnames in Xiguan, four families came here today." The old man also explained: "It's not that the other families didn't come. The Zhao family is in Jiazhou, and they haven't arrived in time. The Chen family and the Shui family have not returned to Xiguan. So the four of us will come here first today."

Chu Huan had already cupped his hands and said, "Seniors are here, this junior is really overjoyed."

Qian Boyi smiled and said: "My lord, although we are no better than before, we are still well-informed. Everyone knows that it was the time when you advised the court to raise food for the Xiguan gentry, which gave us enough time to do a good job." Prepare, if it is not for your lord, the property under our name has already been occupied by people with ulterior motives, and the so-called seven surnames in Xiguan will no longer exist."

"Exactly." Fu Yusheng said solemnly: "My lord is the great benefactor of our Xiguan gentry. We are really happy to hear that your lord is coming to Xiguan to take up his post."

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Seniors, you are polite. In fact, I have been worried that you don't have enough time to raise food. After all...!" He didn't continue.

The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Every family has indeed encountered many troubles in raising food and paid a huge price, but no matter what, we represent the gentry of Xiguan, no matter how hard it is, we still have to survive. "

"There are so many big families in Guanzhong." Qian Boyi sighed: "It is said that the imperial treasury is insufficient, but the warehouses of the gentry and wealthy merchants are full. If a few families can borrow food, the others will rush to lend, and that's exactly what happened...!"

Hong Shengtao said: "The imperial court has collected grain several times, and the big households in Guanzhong know very well that the grain is stored in the warehouse. If the imperial court is really short of grain, it will always reach out to them...We will sign a contract with them to borrow the grain. Borrowing paperwork, repaying three, and using the land deed as collateral, this is better than their grain rotten in the warehouse...!"

"Seniors, I saw Gao Lian from Beishan in Beiwanglou today." Chu Huan frowned and said, "I heard that Gao Lian is now the chairman of the Yuezhou Chamber of Commerce. This... really makes me a little confused. There are four of you Sitting in Yuezhou, how could the position of president of the chamber of commerce be taken by a Beishan gentry?"

The complexions of the few people present all changed slightly, but the old man remained calm, stroked his beard and said, "My lord, we are all aware of what happened in Beiwanglou today...someone is trying to smack your lord, I don't know what your lord thinks ?”
