There are two round tables in the main hall.

Originally, the in-laws used to sit together, but today only Mrs. Guo came, so the screen in the middle was removed. Although the male and female family members were not seated at the same table, they could still hear each other talking.

When I arrived, I was not in a hurry to sit down. I met my second uncle first, and my in-laws also recognized each other.

But Mrs. Li didn't come out today. Thinking about it, the Guo family is not qualified. She is just a county magistrate's wife, and the county magistrate hasn't come yet.

Mrs. Guo took a look outside when she sat down, presumably knowing that there was an old man at home.

At the men's table, everyone made way for Lian Ruqi and his second uncle to take the main seat, while Guo Yi sat at the end.

On the female side, because An Hongshao didn't care about this, she sat according to seniority, and she was next to Li Yuyin.

Mrs. Guo looked over to the men's table again and again, watching Guo Yi always bowing her head while talking to Li Haoxun.There must be some discomfort in my heart.

It's not that Mrs. Guo thinks that the Prime Minister's position is low, but she just elevates herself, as if she is married to the Prime Minister, and they should be of equal status if they sit together.

After all, his son is a guest, and his position cannot be arranged like this.

However, Guo Yi knew well that when he went out on errands, it was not enough for him in his current status. The reason why someone bothered him was because he wanted to marry the granddaughter of the left prime minister.

In their place, the seventh-grade county magistrate was an official in the eyes of others, but in the capital, he was nothing at all.

Li Yuyin spoke crisply and clearly. He was lucky enough to marry such a capable wife, so he had nothing to choose from. The Li family didn't ask him to marry into his wife, so he was already satisfied.

"Why didn't you see the old lady?" When the food was served, Mrs. Guo couldn't help but ask.

"There are many things in the court, so my father is very busy." Li was the first to answer.

First, Taifu Li is at home today and is in good health. As for being busy, how can he not eat no matter how busy he is?It's just that they didn't come out on purpose.

Mrs. Guo seemed not to understand, "How can this be done? No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat."

Seeing her pretending to be confused, Mrs. Li couldn't help but sneer, "I want to eat, and the small kitchen in my father's yard will be properly arranged. It's just that there are many things in the court, and we won't bother him with small things at home."

It was just a matter of words, but Mrs. Guo insisted on letting Mr. Li clarify her words, which was shameful in front of so many people.

Guo Yi winked at Mrs. Guo and told her to stop talking. Without this relationship, they would not even be qualified to enter the house.

"When doing errands, we all pay attention to fate. When we encounter problems, we always have to think hard. If we interrupt my father-in-law's train of thought, he will lose his temper." At this time, Mr. Qiao explained with a smile.

Seeing it relieved Mrs. Guo's embarrassment.

An Hongshao was about to speak at this time, but Lian Ruzhi suddenly coughed softly, "Luoyang has not started construction. This is not a solution. It is a waste to keep so many officials there. Does Mr. Guo want to go there?"

Generally speaking, officials from the capital who have been away for a while will usually move a little bit when they come back.

Originally, Guo Yi was still thinking about the delay in construction in Luoyang, and he didn't know how long he would have to stay there. But now when Lian Ruzhi asked him, he stood up subconsciously, "I really didn't think much about this."

He hesitated for a moment before answering on the safe side.

What if someone just asked me casually? If I really said it, it would be like asking someone for something. "He is good at riding and shooting, and he was born as a Jinshi. He can be regarded as both civilized and military." Li Haoxun smiled and pulled Guo Yi, telling him not to be nervous and just sit down and answer.

Lian Ruqi nodded, "I remember your Datong prefect's name?"

Seeing Lian Ruqi hesitate, Guo Yi stood up again and replied.

"Is this person just average at his errands?" Lian Ruqi casually said this again.

Guo Yi was sweating profusely when he heard this. In fact, officials from all over the country were similar in whether they did well or not. It all depended on the wishes of the people above.Guo Yi didn't know what Lian Ruqi meant. Could it be that he wanted to disturb Datong officials?But he was the magistrate after all. If he knew it was because the county magistrate's son didn't say nice things at the dinner table, he probably would have given Magistrate Guo a good shake before the transfer order came down.

How should I put it, even if he passed the exam, he was still afraid of his father's immediate boss.

Even the words of Ruzhi were said to Mrs. Guo. You magistrates are all treated as grandsons here. What kind of pomp does a county magistrate's wife ask for?Unidentifiable stuff.

"This is a family banquet. We won't talk about state affairs. We won't talk about state affairs." The second uncle quickly smoothed things over so that Guo Yi could sit down.

It's just that he ate this meal like chewing wax, it was tasteless.

The second uncle patted Lian Ruqi on the shoulder, "When you open your mouth, I always feel that we are in the court. Even I am frightened. I wonder what you are going to mention next?"

"Uncle, you were joking." Lian Ruzhi quickly restrained his domineering attitude, put his legs together, and then personally refilled his uncle's glass.

Just like an ordinary nephew and son-in-law.

An Hongshao glanced at Lian Ruqi secretly. Lian Ruqi happened to be looking towards her and their eyes met. An Hongshao quickly looked away.

Seeing her shy look, Lian Ruqi's lips curled up slightly.

You Lian showed off his power here as scheduled, so the next conversation would go much smoother.

After waiting for the meal to be finished, the second aunt sent people out. She stood at the door and took a deep look at Guo Yi, "Xiao Guo, you must remember to be careful in your words and deeds when doing business in the capital in the future."

Guo Yi quickly clasped her fists and said, "Don't worry, aunt, I will definitely remember this."

After leading Mrs. Guo into the carriage, Guo Yi immediately darkened her face and said, "Mother." His voice was serious, "I told you when I came here, and I also wrote to you. You agree with your son's advancement."

Naturally, marriages are all ordered by parents, and he must make it clear about the situation in the capital.The so-called climbing high means that you have to be humble to your father-in-law.

His parents gave birth to a child, and he could not ignore his parents' feelings for the sake of his future, so he mentioned this matter emphatically and only dared to accept it after getting the approval of the two elders.What is mother going to do now?
Guo Yi is not a fool. He also knows why his mother is acting stupid at the table.

"I, am I not afraid that the noble girl in the capital will be overbearing and domineering, and you will suffer hardship in the future?" Mrs. Guo was also unhappy. This was the first time we met, and she was particular about who she suppressed.

Guo Yi sighed, "Mom, since you have reached such a high position, on the one hand, you want help from your father-in-law's family, but on the other hand, you have to ask your wife to be humble. Isn't this a double act? Besides, why do you want to marry me? What?"

Isn't it just for the sake of thinking, why won't someone's daughter marry without being wronged?

Besides, Li Yuyin is not the kind of pampered girl. From her conversation, it can be seen that she is an extremely insightful and knowledgeable girl, better than any girl she has ever seen.
