Chapter 3331 Host

Although Yin You refused to become a lay disciple of the Taoist temple, he agreed to live in the Taoist temple for a few days.

So when they left, they left Yin You and Changshou behind. Bai Erlang couldn't understand, "The Taoist temple is not far from our home. It only takes two-quarters of an hour for the carriage to arrive. Why do we have to live in the Taoist temple?"

Bai Shanze said to Yin He, "As long as you are happy, we will have someone pack some things and bring them to you when we get back."

Yin You shook his fan and said with a smile: "Let Changshou go back with you, he knows all my things..."

Bai Shan nodded and invited the Taoist priests, "There will be a running banquet at home the next day. If the Taoist priests have nothing to do, I would also like to treat you to a simple meal."

The Taoist priests responded with a smile and sent the group to the mountain gate.

The Bai family's flowing banquet took four days to prepare. In addition to sending messages to guests who needed special invitations, the rest was to spread the word so that those who wanted to come and eat could come that day.

Because there were many people coming, Mr. Bai and Mrs. Liu discussed it and generously agreed that the banquet would be held for three days.

The banker also received the post, not only them, but also the banker's relatives and friends. In addition, there was also a list and a stack of blank posts sent to the banker.

Mr. Zhuang saw the difference in the post at a glance, and Dalang Zhuang also noticed it, and quickly asked, "Father, how come the host of this post still has our family?"

Mr. Zhuang closed the post, his eyes were red, he raised his head and smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, I have a few posts here, and the queues are all empty. See who else you want to invite.

Bar."

"This..." Zhuang Dalang was speechless for a moment while holding the list and post in his hand.

Mr. Zhuang called his servant Bai Qiu and ordered: "Since it is a banquet, we will go there early, and you can pack your things."

Bai Qiu is the boy of the Bai family who works for Mr. Zhuang. He specializes in running errands for him. As he gets older, he needs a careful person to take care of him.

Zhuang Dalang looked through the post in his hand, "Did the Bai family do this for his father?"

Mr. Zhuang smiled slightly and said: "This is their filial piety. The post has been sent out. If you are free, please go to Qili Village early to help."

Zhuang Dalang was stunned for a while and then agreed.

Bai Shan had already had two courtyards cleared out, one of which was where Mr. Zhuang used to live and was given to him, and the other was the guest courtyard in the front courtyard, which was larger and could accommodate Zhuang Dalang's family.

Zhuang Dalang and his family had been to Qili Village several times, but this was their first time staying overnight, so they felt a little uncomfortable when they arrived.

Bai Shan warmly entertained them and sent them to the guest house in person, "Everything is new. Senior brother, take a look and see if there is anything missing. I'll have someone prepare it."

Zhuang Dalang smiled awkwardly and said: "It's already very good. Thank you, junior brother."

Sister-in-law Zhuang was much more enthusiastic and familiar with Zhou Man, and they entered the house hand in hand. "These beddings are all new. It is much colder at night in the mountains, so be sure to cover yourself with the quilt to avoid getting cold."

Sister-in-law Zhuang agreed, took her hand and said with a smile: "Thank you so much, junior sister. I think this room is very well decorated. Junior sister is really thoughtful."

Both of them were smiling. Zhou Man looked curiously at the three children standing cautiously outside, and asked with a smile: "Is that your great-grandson?"

"Yes," Mrs. Zhuang's smile became more genuine. "The child is naughty. As soon as he heard that we were going out to have a dinner, he would follow whatever we said, so he asked for leave from the school."

"This time, my senior brother and his family are all hosts, so naturally we have to follow him to the banquet." Although Zhou Man has not returned to Luojiang County for many years, he still knows about his family. After all, Zhuang Dalang and Mr. Zhuang have always exchanged letters.

Zhuang Dalang would write to tell Mr. Zhuang when his sons got married, when they gave birth to children, or when something important happened in the family.

During the holidays, the banker will also prepare festive gifts. Every year when Zhou Lang travels to the capital, the banker will pack something for him to take with him to the capital;

When Mr. Bai wants to deliver a message to the capital, he will always ask Zhuang Dalang.

So from his husband, Zhou Man knew that Zhuang Dalang's eldest grandson was seven years old this year and was Zhuang Ji'an's child.

The remaining son and daughter are the children of the second son Zhuang Jiran, while Zhuang Jisi has just gotten married and has no children yet.

Zhou Man looked at the three cautious children in the garden, pulled Sister Zhuang and smiled and said: "My husband often talked about the three great-grandchildren in the capital. I remember that during the Dragon Boat Festival, someone sent back some cloth and pen and ink. I wonder if you can still use them."

Okay?"

Sister-in-law Zhuang smiled and said, "It's not bad, it's not bad."

"That's good," Zhou Man said with a smile, "That's a gift from the prince. Because it's fabric from the Jiangnan area, I'm afraid my sister-in-law won't be used to it."

Sister-in-law Zhuang was surprised, "Yes, is it a reward from the prince?"

"Yes," Zhou Man said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you don't know yet. Your husband is now the prince's husband, and he teaches specifically for the prince. He is highly regarded in the palace. Every year during the Spring Festival, the birthday of your husband, everyone in the palace will attend.

There is a reward."

"Because you are the prince's young master, you are highly respected in the court. It may not be the case in faraway places, but in the capital, I don't know how many students admire you." Zhou Man took Zhuang's sister-in-law's hand and said with a smile, "so sister-in-law does not have to talk to you.

We are polite. If you need anything in the future, let me know and I will bring it back to you in the capital. Even if I can't buy it, there are more people who can help."

Sister-in-law Zhuang's eyes widened. She had not yet gotten over the fact that her father-in-law was the prince's teacher. She swallowed, "It's not that my father-in-law only helps organize books in the palace and occasionally teaches the students of Chongwen Hall.

Class?"

Zhou Man raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who said that?"

Sister-in-law Zhuang pointed to Dalang Zhuang who was talking to Bai Shan outside and said, "You, your senior brother."

"Oh," Zhou Man hesitated for a moment whether to sow discord between his senior brother and his sister-in-law. Finally, he looked at the three children in the yard and lowered his voice and said, "Senior brother lied to you."

Sister-in-law Zhuang raised her eyebrows and her anger welled up.

Zhou Man whispered: "But I can also understand, senior brother. The closer they are to His Majesty and the Crown Prince's official position, the more careful their officials and family members must be. Otherwise, if someone catches them with a single move, it will be a serious crime that will involve the whole family."

."

Zhou Man counted for her with his fingers, "For example, forced buying and selling, such as loan sharking, bullying of neighbors, etc. Because my husband is the prince's young master, many imperial censors in the court will keep an eye on him. Naturally,

I will keep an eye on my senior brothers and sisters-in-law, and once they find out that something has been done, they will impeach me, and then my family members will also be brought to trial."

Sister-in-law Zhuang waved her hands hurriedly and said: "We don't do such things. Our family has added a lot of property in recent years, but they were all bought with real money and silver, and there was no forced buying or selling. You also know this. Buying property

The money was sent back by your fourth brother, it was all given by my father-in-law."

Zhou Man nodded repeatedly, "Of course I know, so I can understand senior brother, but..."
