The wives of some minor officials in the government office thought that Lu Jiao was not only beautiful, but also very humble, and she didn't judge people by their status.

These people were quite willing to get close to Lu Jiao, but Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Wang and others were present, and they didn't dare to show it, so they just nodded with a smile.

Mrs. Lin stood up unhappily, and took the lead to go out. Lu Jiao invited Mrs. Wang and others to follow, and the wives from all the families behind also followed, and a group of people went to the front yard in a mighty manner.

Today's banquet is held in the courtyard of the front yard. Firstly, the place is large, and secondly, there will be an apprenticeship ceremony later, and the outside is open and bright. However, although the banquet is held in one place, the male guests are on the east side, the female guests are on the west side, and the male and female guests are on the west side. The middle is separated by a screen.

As for the children's table banquet, it is arranged on the west side of the female guests.

When all the guests returned to their seats, Xie Yunjin walked out with Liu Daru, and behind them were four little guys. Among the little guys, Dabao stretched out his arms to support Liu Daru, and Liu Daru also let their father and son The two walked out with support.

Xie Yun would like to let go of Liu Daru, turned around and looked at the guests who came to the banquet today and said: "Thank you for coming to my Xie family's banquet today. Today is the day when my Xie family's children are apprentices. Please be a witness. My son worshiped under Liu Hongsheng Daru and became Liu Daru's disciple, and they will respect and love Liu Daru in the future."

Xie Yunjin turned to look at the four little guys and encouraged him: "My son has heard the words of being a father. He will be a teacher for one day and be a father for the rest of his life. In the future, he must respect and love Mr. Dai."

The four little ones immediately responded respectfully: "Yes, Daddy."

The apprenticeship ceremony began. First, I bowed down and listened to my husband's teachings. Then I performed the teacher's apprenticeship ceremony and served fragrant tea. Finally, I presented the teacher's apprenticeship ceremony gift to my husband. This teacher's apprenticeship gift was carefully prepared by Lu Jiao. It was a book from her previous life. The books were copied by Lu Jiao. In addition, they also prepared precious medicinal materials, inkstones, and a piece of high-quality jade.

In short, this ceremony of appreciating a teacher was very handy, and Liu Daru gave each of the four little guys a copy of the Four Treasures of the Study, and prepared books such as the Four Books and the Five Classics for the four little guys.

After the apprenticeship ceremony, the names of master and apprentice were officially determined. Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao invited Liu Daru to the table, and the banquet finally officially started.

As soon as Lu Jiao entered the table, Mrs. Lin said: "Your family's four little ones will become great weapons in the future. They are very smart in themselves, and they are worshiped under the name of Liu Daru. How could they not be successful?"

The future of Xie's family will not be bad, Madam Lin is thinking about telling her granddaughter to Xie's eldest son.

While thinking about it, she looked at Lu Jiao, and her face became much gentler. Lu Jiao looked puzzled, but she didn't bother to pay attention to it, she just pretended not to know Mrs. Lin's changing mind.

"Come, come, everyone please have a feast."

The meals prepared for the banquet were exquisite, not only dishes, but also fruit wine and fruit juice made by Lu Jiao, and all kinds of snacks, all homemade. The women became happy after eating, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic a lot.

The banquet ended soon, Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao sent Liu Daru out of the Xie Mansion with the four cubs, and the family sent the guests away one by one.

Today, apart from the officials of the government office, people from the four major families also came, but the heads of these families did not come, but only sent a son of the family to deal with it.

Xie Yunjin didn't say much either, he had already guessed that the people from the four major families would not give him much face, after all, he is a small sixth-grade acquaintance with no foundation, how could those people need to give him much face , it would be nice to send someone over.

Xie Yunjin looked at the four little guys with a smile and said, "Do you understand by studying hard with Mr. Liu in the future? Mr. Liu is still a well-known Confucian in my Zhou Dynasty, with profound knowledge. You will benefit from studying with him for a lifetime."

The four little ones immediately responded in a sensible way: "Understood, Daddy."

At the same time, Lu Jiao smiled and said: "Okay, let's go in, there are still guests at home."

The guests from Qinghe County haven't left yet, so they still need to entertain the guests.

Lu Jiao thought that Li Yuyao was coming, she still had something to say to Li Yuyao.

Xie Yunjin heard Lu Jiao's words, and immediately responded with a smile, "Let's go in."

For the friends from Qinghe County, they are much closer, and the family happily entered the mansion to entertain friends.

In the backyard, Tian Huan saw that Lu Jiao was going to talk to Li Yuyao, so she got up and said that she wanted to play with the four little ones. After greeting Lu Jiao, she turned around and left.

Looking at the back of Tian Huan leaving, Li Yuyao sighed and said, "Huanhuan is a good girl, but it's a pity that she is old, and this marriage is quite troublesome."

Lu Jiao smiled and said, "Actually, marriage is right in front of us."

Li Yuyao immediately asked with interest: "What do you mean?"

"Didn't you see that the interaction between Tian Huan and Zhao Lingfeng is interesting?"

"Tian Huan and Zhao Lingfeng?"

Li Yuyao thought about it and thought it was feasible, but she quickly shook her head: "Huanhuan won't agree, then Zhao Lingfeng has a young lady, as Huanhuan said, she can't tolerate a man having a concubine. "

Lu Jiao was stunned for a moment, but she forgot about it. Zhao Lingfeng did have a young lady. Of course, he took the young lady to take care of his daughter. Son, I'm afraid he's used to this and doesn't have the idea of ​​only marrying one wife, so Tian Huan and him are really unlikely.

Lu Jiao couldn't help sighing: "I thought Zhao Lingfeng would be a happy match for Huanhuan, but it turned out not to be."

Li Yuyao smiled bitterly: "Why is it so difficult for us women?"

She thought of the Tongfang at home, the one that poisoned her was sold by Hu Shan, and the other one was still there.

The mother-in-law wanted to send another person to Hu Shan before, but Hu Shan refused.

Looking at Li Yuyao's appearance, Lu Jiao knew what she was thinking of, but soon a smile appeared on her face. If Li Yuyao was the daughter of the Wen'an County Lord, then she was a relative of the emperor. Would the Hu family dare to offend her again?

When Lu Jiao thought about it, the smile on her face became brighter and brighter. She stretched out her hand to hold Li Yuyao and said, "Sister, let me tell you something. This time I accompanied my husband to Beijing for the exam, and I met a patient. Do you know that patient? Looks like you?"

Li Yuyao looked puzzled, so she could only smile and said, "That's really an accident, but there are many imaginative people in this world."

Lu Jiao nodded: "That's true, but my patient has some reasons. She once lost a daughter, and because of self-blame, she got a demon in her heart, and then fell ill, and her mind was not right."

When Lu Jiao said this, she looked at Li Yuyao, and Li Yuyao's heart beat suddenly. She thought of the dreams she had before. Could it be that she is not the daughter of the Li family.
