Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 351

Xiao Chenyu's words seemed relaxed and casual, but in fact there was a pitfall.

The officials of Qingshui Yamen don't have much salary and no real power. Most of the younger ones come here to survive the disaster and then get promoted. Those who stay naturally have no connections and no money.

But they can eat the fine wines and delicacies of Zuixianlou, and the dishes don't look cheap, so Xiao Chenyu starts with the dishes.

Everyone didn't know how much he heard, and they were all a little confused.

After all, it is unclear what the relationship between the Nine Princes' Palace and him behind this man is, and it is still unclear how much the Nine Princes' Palace values ​​him.

The young master of the Du family wants to deal with Xiao Chenyu. Xiao Chenyu has no way to deal with Du Ziren, but it is not impossible to deal with them.

People who have been in official circles for a long time are all veterans. Some people had long since come back to their senses, pretending to be nonchalant and stepped forward to face Xiao Chenyu and said in surprise: "It's already gone to the Yamen, why is Mr. Xiao still here?"

Xiao Chenyu also returned the greeting, smiling lightly: "I was just too focused on studying, and I forgot the time for a moment."

He never mentioned the fact that the doors and windows were locked from the outside, and everyone laughed and ignored it.

Someone else suggested: "Master Xiao, please take a seat. Since we have met, how about having fun together?"

This was actually a polite remark, and everyone knew it. This was the food and wine Du Ziren had sent. How could Xiao Chenyu want to eat it?
But Xiao Chenyu thought about it, and then walked over and sat down. After thinking about it, he told a clerk: "Please go to the parking lot outside the door and inform my family that I have been raped by all my colleagues." Stay and drink, then go back later and let him talk to his family first so as not to worry."

After the clerk left, Xiao Chenyu sat down in full view of everyone. Seeing that everyone was still stunned, he greeted everyone to sit down like a master. Don't be polite.

Those who stayed on the night watch were all insignificant people. Those who had a little respect went to eat in big restaurants.

Xiao Chenyu is very good at dealing with people. If he is willing, he can quickly convince others and make friends with them.

Taking advantage of Du Ziren's banquet, Xiao Chenyu had a heated fight with these five or six people.

After Xiao Lian sent Xiao Chenyu to the office in the morning, he went home to help with some things at home, and came to pick up Xiao Chenyu early in the evening when he was leaving the office.

Therefore, he saw people from the Hanlin Academy traveling together around the same time, and listened to their chats, all heading towards Zuixian Tower.

But Xiao Lian had never seen Xiao Chenyu, and he didn't dare to leave. When he asked the guards, he didn't know anything.

After waiting for a while, I saw the waiter from Zuixianlou driving an ox cart delivering several food boxes.

Xiao Lian still didn't see Xiao Chenyu, but he thought Xiao Chenyu was drinking inside, so he waited with peace of mind.

After another half an hour, it was getting dark, and then someone came out and told him that Xiao Chenyu was drinking with his colleagues inside, and asked him to go home first.

Xiao Lian received the message from the clerk, thought about it, and hurried back home to tell Xiao Chenyu about having dinner in the Hanlin Academy.

Qin Xi was a little puzzled: "Don't he have a bad relationship with others? Why would anyone invite him to dinner?"

Xiao Lian didn't know the truth either, but even though he was Xiao Chenyu's servant, he had no right to enter or leave the Hanlin Academy gate at will.

Qin Xiang only felt that there was something inappropriate. After thinking for a moment, she asked Qinggu to get some home-brewed wine, and asked Xiao Lian to send it to the Hanlin Academy. She also asked Sun Jifei to take two people with him.

This fragrant wine is obtained by soaking fine wine with a variety of precious spices. For Xiao Chenyu, Qin Xiang was very willing to give it up.

Xiao Lian followed Qing Gu out and talked to her very close.

Li Siniang came in and asked Qin Xiang if dinner was ready. Seeing the behavior between the two, she couldn't help but smile knowingly. When Qinggu saw Li Siniang, he quickly pushed Xiao Lian away from him and greeted Li Siniang again.

Seeing that both of them looked a bit shy, Li Siniang said something casually and walked towards the house.

Qin Xiang saw that she had a special smile and asked what was going on?

Li Siniang said: "The old lady has finished her meal. I heard that she is still waiting for the second master, so I came here to have a look. The second master always leaves the office and comes home on time. Even if he is delayed sometimes, he will not be so late." Not back yet?”

Qin Xiang didn't know the reason, so she asked about her mother and two children. When she learned that everything was fine, she didn't mention it.

Li Siniang saw that Qin Xiang was a little absent-minded, probably because she was worried about the second master, so she changed the subject to make her happy.

"My wife just saw me coming in and asked me why I was smiling so happily? Actually, there is a reason."

Sure enough, Qin Xiang's attention was attracted and she looked at Li Siniang with doubtful eyes.

"I just saw Xiao Lian and Qing Gu going out together. I just thought that these two people are a perfect match for each other. I see that they are about the same age, they get along well, and they get along happily. Why don't I let my wife guide them? How is the marriage?"

Qin Xiang was stunned for a while before she realized: "They are old enough and it's time to get married. Oops, I was so busy that I forgot about their marriage."

Later, Qin Xiang looked at Li Siniang, her voice slowed down, and she asked, "What about you? Are you not going to take another step?"

Li Siniang was a little confused: "Madam, if you know my situation, how can you take another step?"

Qin Xiang sighed: "It's been several years, but you still can't forget Qiao Dazhuang?"

Li Siniang lowered her head and remained silent for a long time before shaking her head: "I feel guilty and have feelings for him. Naturally, I can't forget it, and I don't want to forget it either."

Li Siniang's son Bao'er has officially entered private school and changed his surname to Qiao. During the holidays, Mr. Qiao from Dancheng always sends many gifts to Qiao Bao'er. He really treats him as a child of the Qiao family.

Therefore, Li Siniang is not short of money now, and there is no threat from the Li family, so she still stays in the Xiao family just to repay her kindness.

Qin Xian also understood Li Siniang, and even after trying to persuade her, she stopped.

Xiao Chenyu danced with long sleeves on the wine table, making everyone's atmosphere high, and in a moment, the wine was empty.

These people rarely eat or drink much in normal times, but today they are enjoying the feast. But when they are happy to drink wine, it suddenly disappears, and it is like scratching an itch, almost meaningless.

Just at this moment, Xiao Lian followed the guard guarding the door and came in. Behind him was Sun Jifei and a servant carrying a basket of wine.

Xiao Lian poured wine for everyone on the side and said with a smile: "Our wife heard that all the adults were having wine with our second master, so she asked me to bring the wine brewed at home for you to taste? This wine is in the cellar. It has been hidden for three years and soaked in good spices. Please give us your opinions. I can tell our wife when I get back and adjust the proportion of spices appropriately. "

The wine is naturally several grades better than the wine in Zuixianlou. Along with the wine, there are several dishes, all cooked by the Xiao family's cooks.

Everyone became lively again, and they all said that the wine was good and the Xiao family's food was even better.

Xiao Chenyu said with drunken eyes: "If you want to eat these dishes in the future, just tell me and I will let the cook at home cook it. Our cook was invited from our hometown Dancheng. This is Dancheng's special dish. What are you in the capital?" The restaurant is still nowhere to be found.”

Everyone cheered loudly and said that they would go to Xiao Chenyu's house during the holiday. Xiao Chenyu naturally agreed and winked at Xiao Lian, while he pretended to be drunk and refused to drink more.

Xiao Lian hurriedly stepped forward and said that Xiao Chenyu was drunk and wanted to take him home, leaving the meat and wine for the adults who were watching the night to eat and drink.
