Chapter 321

Lu Jiao's eyebrows twitched, and she took a careful look at Xie Yunjin, this guy wouldn't suspect anything.

In the end, Xie Yunjin didn't show any doubts, and asked Dabao with interest: "What numbers are there?"

Dabao dipped his chopsticks in the soup and wrote a few numbers on the dining table. Before Lu Jiao taught the little guy how to write a few numbers, Dabao was able to write out a few numbers crookedly based on his memory.

"Mother said it was zero to ten."

Xie Yunjin knew at a glance that this was something that Lu Jiao and the others learned, but seeing such things, Xie Yunjin was very surprised. He had never seen such arithmetic numbers before. What's going on?

Xie Yunjin couldn't figure it out for a while, and Lu Jiao explained, "This is a new counting method I have researched, which is more convenient."

Xie Yunjin looked up at Lu Jiao with a calm smile and said, "Then can I follow along and learn later? This will be beneficial for counting in the future."

Seeing that he had no doubts, Lu Jiao let go of her heart, nodded and said, "Okay, if you want to learn, just learn."

Lu Gui who was eating at the side saw that his brother-in-law wanted to learn how to count from his older sister, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Lu Jiao immediately turned her head to look at Lu Gui and said, "If you don't have time to look back, let Dabao teach you, it's good to learn more knowledge."

Lu Gui was about to protest, he was not interested in learning these things.

But before Lu Gui had time to speak, Feng Zhi outside the door took an invitation and came in to report.

"My lord, my lady, someone outside the house handed me an invitation card, it was for my lady, and my servant brought it in for my lady."

As soon as Lu Jiao heard the invitation, she thought of what happened at the full moon banquet for the grandson of Hu's parents.

To be honest, she has a shadow in her heart about this kind of banquet.

"Who sent it?"

According to the logic, she has only been in Qinghe County for a few days, and she only knows so many people in total, who will send her an invitation card.

Feng Zhi immediately opened the invitation post, looked at it, and then reported: "Qinghe County Xuelu Dean's wife, Mrs. Xia invited her to their house for a banquet at noon tomorrow. She said that she invited several ladies from the county school to gather together."

After Feng Zhi's report, Lu Jiao remembered the daughter-in-law of the dean's family whom she had met last time, Mrs. Xia, she was gentle and well-spoken, she was a scholar at first glance, and the person she invited would not have a wrong mind.

While thinking about it, Lu Jiao looked at Xie Yunjin and said, "Do I have to go?"

Xie Yunjin thought for a while and said: "Mistress Xia often holds such banquets, the purpose is to move around more, and to have more connections in the future to facilitate affairs. If you don't want to go, you don't have to go."

Xie Yunjin didn't force Lu Jiao, Lu Jiao thought for a while and said: "Forget it, let's go, people have sent invitations over, if I don't go, people will definitely say that my eyes are higher than the top or something."

What's more, such banquets may be indispensable in the future. Even if she is not with Xie Yunjin, when she becomes a doctor or businessman, she will often attend such banquets, so let's go.

"It's okay, I'll be there at noon tomorrow."

Xie Yunjin asked worriedly: "Do you want me to go with you?"

Lu Jiao immediately shook her head with a smile and said, "It's okay, I still have this ability, besides, the people Mrs. Xia hired should be quite qualified, so it won't happen like the Hu family did last time."

After Lu Jiao finished speaking, Xie Yunjin nodded her head. It is true that only a few people are invited to the banquet held by the dean's wife, so there will be nothing wrong with it.

The banquet hosted by Miss Xia only invited seven or eight people, several of whom were acquainted with Lu Jiao.

Zheng Zhixing's wife Zhu Baozhu, Du Yi's wife Tan Xiaoya, Luo Xinwu's wife Liu Laidi, and Lu Jiao didn't know each other.

But one of the women in red was particularly eye-catching.

The woman in red is not only gorgeously dressed, but also behaves extraordinarily wantonly, feeling like doing her own way.

Beside Lu Jiao, Zhu Baozhu pressed against Lu Jiao's ear, and whispered, "Did you see that woman in red opposite? She is Li Wenbin's wife, Zhang Biyan."

Lu Jiao turned around and looked at Zhu Baozhu with a look of surprise: "Really?"

She knows Li Wenbin, she looks like a very honest and honest person, why is his wife so flamboyant, and judging by her attire and gestures, she should be from a very rich family, how could she marry For an honest man like Li Wenbin.

The more Lu Jiao thought about it, the more unbelievable she felt, Zhu Baozhu quickly gossiped to her.

"You know Zhang Liang, Cao Wang, the four major surnames in Qinghe County, right? This woman is Zhang Biyan, the eldest daughter of the Zhang family. She is not marrying Li Wenbin, but taking Li Wenbin as her son-in-law."

Lu Jiao thought for a while and still didn't understand. Even if she recruited a son-in-law like Li Wenbin, Li Wenbin should be rich, so she wouldn't dress like that. She always thought that Li Wenbin came from a poor family and his family was poor, so he would dress like that. So simple, as a result, the family married the daughter of the richest man in Qinghe County.

Lu Jiao lowered her voice and whispered, "I thought Li Wenbin had no money."

Speaking of this, Zhu Baozhu said something again: "That's Li Wenbin's strong self-esteem, saying that he would rather wear old clothes and eat vegetarian meals than spend money on women and things from his father-in-law's house."

Lu Jiao grinned and didn't know what to say. Since she didn't want to spend women's money and didn't use things from her father-in-law's house, what did she recruit into Zhang's house for fun?

Just as Lu Jiao was thinking about it, Zhu Baozhu said in a low voice: "At the beginning he was willing to recruit the Zhang family as his son-in-law. He heard that his mother was sick and had no money to see her, so he could only agree to recruit the Zhang family as his son-in-law. Later, the Zhang family took the money to cure his mother's illness, and he recruited the Zhang family as his son-in-law according to the agreement."

Lu Jiao turned her head and looked at the woman in red, Zhang Biyan, opposite her.

Zhang Biyan just looked up and saw Lu Jiao, and nodded with a smile as a greeting.

With just a simple nod, Lu Jiao could see that Li Wenbin couldn't be a slave to a woman like Zhang Biyan.

Although there were only seven or eight people in the flower hall, they were divided into two factions.

One group is a few women from poor families headed by Lu Jiao, and the other group is a few women from rich families headed by Zhang Biyan. The people over there obviously look at the people here with disdain, but fortunately, as scholars Even if she didn't like it, she didn't say anything.

Until the dean's wife Xia Niangzi came over: "I really neglected everyone, I hope you don't blame me."

Several people hurriedly said to Mrs. Xia: "Master, you are too polite, you just invited us over to eat delicious food, how could we blame you."

"Yes, Mistress, sit down and rest."

"I know my wife is going to make sweet-scented osmanthus cake for us in person."

"The sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by my wife is a must."

They said everything, and it could be seen that these people were not the first time to attend the banquet at Mrs. Xia's house.
