Chapter 599

In the evening, the two families sat together to have a lively dinner. Xie Yunjin and Xie Erzhu drank some wine, but Xie Erzhu accidentally drank too much. He danced and patted Xie Yunjin on the shoulder and said.

"Third brother, why are you so happy? Third brother, you have worked so hard for so long, and you have finally been admitted as the number one scholar and become an official. This is a great joy for our family. You must drink this wine."

Xie Yunjin looked at Xie Erzhu with a smile: "Yes, the second brother is right, we must drink this wine."

Xie Erzhu smirked and said, "You drink less, as long as you do it."

Seeing Xie Erzhu being so unrestrained, Second Sister Xie was a little worried, afraid that Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao would be angry, so she couldn't help but carefully looked up at Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao, only to find that they didn't care at all, Second Sister Xie suddenly became happy.

"Third brother and sister, eat more, and see that you have lost a lot of weight now."

Second Sister-in-law Xie is not as dull as before, she is much more cheerful.

Lu Jiao knew it was because she had confidence, so it was good.

After the two families had dinner, Second Wife Xie took Xie Erzhu back to the west courtyard to rest, and Lu Jiao also helped Xie Yunjin back to the room to rest.

Although Xie Yunjin didn't drink much, she was happy in her heart. She held Lu Jiao's hand and said persistently, "Jiaojiao, the second brother has a child. This is a great thing."

Lu Jiao nodded slightly, and said happily, "It's pretty good."

Xie Yunjin suddenly turned around to look at Lu Jiao and said, "Jiaojiao, let's have a daughter too, the second elder brother has a son and a daughter, we still need a daughter."

Lu Jiao's face turned red all of a sudden, and she talked about giving birth to her daughter after all.

Just as Lu Jiao was about to speak, the man beside her suddenly reached out and hugged her, immediately hugging her up.

Xie Yunjin has been practicing martial arts with Li Nantian. Although he is not a master of martial arts, he is no longer the frail scholar he used to be. He has much stronger strength, so it is very easy to hold Lu Jiao.

Lu Jiao pushed him shyly: "Put me down quickly, don't make people laugh at me."

After Lu Jiao finished speaking, she quickly raised her head and looked behind her, but Feng Zhi and Ruan Zhu ran away without knowing it.

Xie Yunjin strode into the room with Lu Jiao in her arms, and said firmly as she walked, "Let's have a daughter."

The result was that Lu Jiao was exhausted after being entangled all night, but she had to hold on to the water banquet the next day, so she could only force herself to get up, her legs were limp.

Thinking of the violent waves last night, Lu Jiao couldn't help stretching out her hand to pinch Xie Yunjin's arm.

Xie Yunjin was very guilty, and also felt sorry for Lu Jiao's discomfort, so she hurriedly said, "Go to sleep a little longer, and just leave it to me to do anything."

Lu Jiao rolled his eyes at him angrily: "Next time you dare to do this again, I will send you to sleep in the study."

Xie Yunjin immediately smiled and said: "Don't be angry, Jiaojiao, I won't keep pestering you next time."

The two of them got up while talking.

The four little ones ran out to surf early.

Lu Jiao arranged for Lin Da to go to Xinghua Village to bring her parents over for a feast of flowing water, but she didn't plan to go to the Lu family.

"It turns out that you made a lot of fuss when you went there after passing the exam. Now that you have passed the exam and become an official, what you said in the past is more eye-catching, so I decided not to go to the Lu family, and brought my parents, brothers and sister-in-law over for a feast of water." That's it."

"Okay," Xie Yunjin looked at Lu Jiao tenderly, thinking that she would stay by his side forever, he felt very peaceful: "From now on, you will be in charge of all the family affairs."

Lu Jiao knew that Xie Yunjin was about to get busy when she returned to Ningzhou Mansion, so she didn't refuse, she nodded and said, "Okay."

Xie's family quickly became busy. There were a lot of people in Xie's village. If they all came to eat, there would be nearly a hundred tables.

Fortunately, this is the countryside, and there is no need for seven or eight bowls, as long as there is enough meat.

Last night, Lu Jiao arranged for people to go to Qili Town overnight to buy pork, chicken, duck and geese. There must be enough meat for today's dinner table.

There are only five or six dishes per table. There are not many dishes, but the quantity should be large.

In the morning, all the women in the village came to help, and the whole small courtyard was filled with a lively atmosphere, as if they were celebrating the New Year.

After Lu Jiao arranged these things, she planned to go back to her room to rest.

Unexpectedly, she had just entered the room and before she had time to lie down, Feng Zhi hurried in from outside the door to report.

"My lady, County Magistrate Hu and others are here, as well as Mr. Zhao and the others."

A lot of people came from outside the small courtyard of Xie's family, all of them came from Qinghe County after hearing the news.

Except for County Magistrate Hu, County Captain Xu, Zhao Lingfeng and others all came over.

At present, except for Zhao Lingfeng, no one else knows that Xie Yunjin has been appointed as the co-prefect of Ningzhou Prefecture. They just think that Xie Yunjin won the first prize in the examination, and the officials he will be awarded in the future will not be too bad. Therefore, as long as Xie Yunjin is appointed as an official, he must be at least a sixth-rank official.

County Magistrate Hu of Qinghe County is just a small county magistrate of seventh grade, so they naturally want to spend more time with Xie Yunjin.

As for Zhao Lingfeng's coming, it was purely because of his daughter.

Zhao Yuluo is seven years old this year, and has grown into a little beauty. She is usually very filial to her father, but when she heard that Erbao was returning to Qinghe County, she forgot about her father and was about to come to Xiejia Village immediately.

Zhao Lingfeng couldn't do without agreeing, so he had no choice but to bring his daughter to Xie's house as a guest.

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao got the report from the servants, so they got up and greeted them.

Although they are the sixth-rank official and the wife of the sixth-rank official now, these are all former friends, so how can they discuss matters based on their official positions.

"Magistrate Hu, Mrs. Song, you are here, please come in quickly."

Magistrate Hu and Mrs. Song said with a smile, "I'm sorry to bother you."

Before Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao had time to speak, Zhao Yuluo who was beside Zhao Lingfeng rushed over and said excitedly, "Aunt Lu, where is Er Bao, and where is someone else."

Lu Jiao looked at Zhao Yuluo, the little girl looked better the longer she grew, but her temperament was still the same as before.

"They're playing in the east courtyard. I'll have someone take you there to find them."

After Lu Jiao finished speaking, she called Feng Zhi to come over and take Zhao Yuluo to Erbao and the others.

In fact, according to the rules at this time, men and women had different seats at the age of seven, so Zhao Yuluo and Erbao shouldn't be allowed to get in touch with each other logically, but Lu Jiao herself didn't care about it, what do six- and seven-year-old children know.

However, Mrs. Song, wife of County Magistrate Hu, disagreed with this very much. She was a very disciplined person, so seeing Zhao Yuluo's reckless appearance, she was very displeased, and she also did not agree with Lu Jiao's actions.

She opened her mouth and was about to preach, but County Magistrate Hu glanced at her, and Mrs. Song finally fell silent.

Lu Jiao had actually seen Mrs. Song's actions, but she just ignored her. Originally, she wanted Feng Zhi to bring Hu Lingxue there too, but seeing Hu Lingxue's well-behaved appearance, Lu Jiao didn't say anything.

On one side, Xie Yunjin has already led Hu County Magistrate and others inside.

"Magistrate Hu, County Captain Xu, brother Zhao, brother Hu please."
