Chapter 508

Of course Xie Yunjin understood the reasoning, and immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay, you can arrange this matter."

After Lu Jiao nodded her head, she brought the butler Xiao Shan over and told him about it.

"You go to the dental shop to pick someone yourself, pick a woman who is smart and able to handle affairs, and send it to Xiejia Village, and say that we sent it to serve the old man. In addition, you tell the woman that I will pay you every month. With her monthly money of one or two silver, let her cooperate with my father-in-law's concubine to keep an eye on Xie's family. If there is any movement, let her personally send a letter to Baohetang in Qinghe County, and someone from Baohetang will send the news to It's in our hands."

Lu Jiao made arrangements, and Xiao Shan went to do it immediately.

He is from Xiejia Village, and he is well aware of the bad habits of Xie Laogen and Xie Daqiang, so it is right for his master to do this.

The next day, people were sent to Xiejia Village. Everyone in Xiejia Village came to watch the fun. The village head Xie Fugui and the patriarch all nodded and praised Xie Yunjin for his filial piety.

Xie Laogen couldn't close his mouth with a smile. Although this son hated his eldest son, he still treated him well.

Xie Laogen was in a good mood.

Widow Wang looked at him coldly, and when she saw him happy, a sneering smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

It's a beautiful idea. You thought your son bought someone to serve you. He is watching everyone in Xie's family, so don't cause trouble for him.

But Widow Wang wouldn't say that, she even pointed out that Lu Jiao finally gave her back the deed of sale.

In Xie's Mansion in Qinghe County, Lu Jiao was preparing to treat guests to dinner.

This time, Xie Yun took the test for the first place in Ningzhou. According to the logic, he should throw a big banquet and invite people to eat.

But because they knew a lot of people in Qinghe County, it would not be good if there were fewer banquets.

After making some calculations, Lu Jiao said to Xie Yunjin, "The people from the county government should be invited, the dean and wife of the academy should be invited, your classmates should be invited, and there are also merchants who do business with us, plus the neighbors around us. , I’m afraid we won’t be able to invite if there are no twenty tables.”

Xie Yunjin thought for a while and said, "Then it will be a banquet for twenty tables."

"Okay, you go and write the invitation."

Xie Yunjin nodded and wrote the invitation post, while Lu Jiao began to arrange the meals for tomorrow. In addition, she also prepared a small gift for each of the female family members who came. It is the latest whitening cream produced by the cosmeceutical. The produced ones are very precious, and it is definitely very powerful to give them as gifts now.

Lu Jiao was arranging a banquet when the four little ones ran in quickly and talked to her.

"Mom, can we invite our friends to visit my house tomorrow?"

Lu Jiao was stunned for a moment, but she forgot about the little guys.

"Okay, how about the mother arrange two tables for you in the backyard?"

"Thank you, mother."

The four little guys were very happy, and they quickly got together and murmured who to invite.

At present, the classes at home have been suspended, and their family will go to Beijing soon, so the classes of the four little ones have been suspended, and Mr. Shi and Mr. Pan have also resigned.

The little guys thought that they would leave the capital soon, and they were very reluctant to play with their little friends for a year, so they planned to invite them to come to their house as guests.

Lu Jiao naturally agreed, and let them invite their little friends.

The next day, the Xie family had a big banquet for the guests. This time the treat was different from the treat when they first came to Qinghe County. At that time, many people did not know Xie Yunjin, and they were not very enthusiastic about their family.

But it's different now, Xie Yunjin has become the Jieyuan of Ningzhou Prefecture, and the future Jinshi will be an official in the future, so it's good to be able to curry favor.

So the originally arranged 20 banquet tables were not enough, the last people who came took 30 tables, and the whole Xie residence was boiling.

Xie Yunjin led the housekeeper Xiao Shan to entertain the male guests, while Lu Jiao led Granny Qiu and Feng Zhi to entertain the female guests.

As the maidservant next to Miss Xing'an Hou, Granny Qiu was used to all kinds of big scenes, so she really didn't take this kind of banquet seriously.

She took Feng Zhi and Liu An to entertain the guests with ease, but the manpower was obviously not enough, Liu An and Feng Zhi ran back and forth to entertain the guests, never idle for a moment.

Finally, Grandma Qiu also served the guests with tea and water.

Looking at all this, Lu Jiao understood in her heart that the staff in the inner courtyard of their house was not enough, and it seemed that they had to buy some staff.

"Jiaojiao, there are still too few girls in your inner courtyard, you need to buy more."

Li Yuyao took the time to talk to Lu Jiao.

There were a lot of female relatives here today, so Lu Jiao couldn't take care of her, so Li Yuyao and Tian Huan volunteered to help her entertain the guests.

In this way, Lu Jiao relaxed a lot.

After listening to Li Yuyao's words, Lu Jiao nodded in agreement: "I didn't notice this before, so I'll buy a few girls later."

As soon as Lu Jiao finished speaking, someone beside her said in agreement: "I want to buy a few more maids. Xie Xieyuan will be the number one scholar in the future, and then there will be officials Xie. There will be a lot of waiters at home, but there is a trick to buying girls. Mrs. Xie Yuan has to be careful."

After the man finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at Feng Zhi.

The meaning of the words is self-evident, it is best not to buy a girl who is too eye-catching, and then seduce the man in the family later, isn't this just adding obstacles to yourself?

Lu Jiao didn't care, she didn't mind the man who could seduce him away.

It's just that she didn't take it seriously, but many women on the field agreed, and she started talking about it every time you said it.

"Ms. Feng's words are quite correct. The girl serving at home really shouldn't be too conspicuous. Too conspicuous will easily make the master's mind distracted."

"We don't have girls with holes in our family. Didn't my husband-in-law pick two of them from the outside and bring them in? As long as a man wants to, even if he doesn't have one at home, he can find them from the outside."

"That's right, men don't have a good thing."

"Yeah, I'm eating what's in the pot and thinking about what's in the bowl. I'm not satisfied with marrying one or two. I wish I could marry all the beautiful women in the world to relieve my hatred."

"Our women's life is so hard. Not only do we have to honor our parents-in-law, but we also have to raise our children. At the end of the day, we also have to support a concubine married by a man. I really don't know what the plan is."

A good banquet turned into a meeting to criticize men.

Lu Jiao didn't take it seriously, but Grandma Liu was upset, she stood up and looked at everyone and said.

"What are you talking about? Today is Xie Yuan's celebration banquet. What are you talking about? Another thing is that it is a duty of a woman to marry a husband and raise children. Wouldn't it be nice to stay at home and be an old girl?"

As soon as these words were said, the people at the banquet were instantly dumbfounded. They are not Tian Huan, so they can stay at home? There's no room for them at home, okay?

Li Yuyao hurriedly greeted everyone and said, "Okay, let me tell you something happy. Today, everyone is visiting Xie's house. Jiaojiao has prepared a small gift for everyone. Guess what this small gift is?"
