Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

Cheng Wan felt that something was wrong with Xu Zhinian's mood, so she changed the subject and said, "One more thing, after Qu Yuuli was made, Prince Rui rewarded me with 10,000 taels of silver, and also gave me the Guxing Building on Zhong Street. You gave it to me, so my grandma will be waiting for us in Guxing Building."

"Did it really happen?"

Xu Zhinian's mind was indeed attracted by what Cheng Wan said.

Cheng Wan smiled and nodded, "Yes, if it is really made, the people in Liangzhou should be able to use the Quyuan plow for plowing next spring."

Xu Zhinian smiled brightly and said happily: "That's great! Ah Wan, this is a great merit for you!"

"Miss, Miss Cheng, the old lady is here."

Chunwen said as he walked quickly inside.

"My milk has arrived?"

Cheng Wan stood up and picked up Gu Yu.

"Oh, Mrs. Xu, this is so rude. Look at me, the first time I come back, I came empty-handed."

"Auntie is so polite. I invited you here suddenly. I just told Niannian's father that we should not send Chunwen to pick you up. I'm worried that you won't recognize the maids who went to pick you up. I thought they were liars. Who would have thought that you would be here now."

Mrs. Lin laughed cheerfully, "I recognize the old lady and two maids there. On the day you entered Shuoyang, I saw them following you."

Mrs. Xu could not help but praise, "My aunt has such a good memory!"

Cheng Wan hugged Gu Yu and stepped out of the room, and saw this happy scene.

"Milk, Aunt Mao."

Cheng Wan smiled and said hello.

Mrs. Lin's eyes widened and she almost blurted out "What the hell, Auntie Mao".

Fortunately, she thought in time that she was in the governor's house and had to pay attention to her image, so Mrs. Lin stopped her screams.

At this moment, a maid walked over quickly with her head lowered.

"Auntie, Auntie Zhang sent someone to tell you that the master has returned from work and the banquet will be ready. Please invite your auntie, cousin, young master cousin and all distinguished guests to move to the dining room of the main courtyard to prepare for the meal."

The dining room in the main courtyard is still some distance away from the courtyard where Xu Zhinian's family of four lives. Walking along the way, Cheng Wan and Mrs. Lin took the opportunity to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the county governor's mansion.

Mrs. Lin was walking when she suddenly slowed down consciously and lined up with Cheng Wan.

"Awan, we are not going to have dinner with the Sheriff later, are we? I was already very panicked, how can I deal with this? We are just familiar with Miss Xu. Before we came here, the most I thought about was with Let’s have dinner together with Mrs. Xu. If I knew that there was also the Sheriff, I wouldn’t have come at all!”

Mrs. Lin covered her mouth with her hands and spoke very quietly beside Cheng Wan.

Cheng Wan glanced at Old Mrs. Lin in surprise. The old lady had behaved very calmly and generously since entering the house.

The conversation I had with Mrs. Xu just now was so natural, and I couldn't tell that I was panicking at all.

Cheng Wan approached Mrs. Lin and whispered: "Mistress, it's okay. Relax. We are a busy county guard. How much face do we have to make people pay attention to us. At most, we can just say a few polite words at the beginning." .”

"And you have already met the crown prince, he is just a county guard."

Old Mrs. Lin choked. What do you mean by "just" a county guard? The county guard is already a very big official, okay?

"That's different. Although we have met Prince Mu, we have never had dinner at the same table as Prince Mu! Ah Wan, why do you think you are so big-hearted? My heart is beating wildly, and I feel like I'm going to die soon. It’s going to jump up into my throat.”

Cheng Wan glanced at Old Mrs. Lin reassuringly and whispered: "I'm here, please relax. Besides, don't you still have me?"

Mrs. Lin was certain in her heart and secretly told herself: "Yes, no matter what happens, the eldest granddaughter is here. As long as the eldest granddaughter is here, don't panic. Stay calm and don't embarrass the child."

Mrs. Lin did a lot of psychological construction for herself, but it was of no use.

From the moment Cheng Wan and the others entered the dining room and met Magistrate Mao, Magistrate Mao acted very approachable.

And I don’t know if it was County Sheriff Mao’s habit, but he went to change it specially. Although County Sheriff Mao had just returned from work not long ago, County Sheriff Mao did not wear official uniforms, nor did he wear clothes that looked expensive at first glance. She turned around and looked at the rather simple and simple clothes.

Mrs. Lin's extremely nervous mood was half relieved by a few words from Sheriff Mao, and she was even made to laugh by Sheriff Mao.

"...Auntie, you have children and grandchildren by your side, and they are all filial. From now on, just wait and enjoy the blessings! From now on, in the territory of Anling County, if you encounter any trouble, just come to me , I will definitely help if I can!"

Mrs. Lin couldn't suppress the smile on her face as she was coaxed by Governor Mao. She was so happy that it was visible to the naked eye.

Mrs. Lin thought to herself: "Look, he is indeed a high-ranking official. How come his words sound so impressive!"

Magistrate Mao and Mrs. Xu's parents went to live in a village on the outskirts of the city for a few days and have not yet returned home. Mrs. Mao was locked up in the small ancestral hall in the backyard, Magistrate Xu ate in her room, Aunt Zhang was a concubine and could not serve, and Mao Wenzhou was in the academy. .

Apart from Cheng Wan and Mrs. Lin who were guests, only one serious master in this house, Mao Youyi, had not arrived.

Sheriff Mao's smile faded slightly, he looked outside the hall and shouted in a deep voice: "Here comes someone."

A maid walked in quickly with her head lowered, "Master."

"Go and see why the lady hasn't arrived yet."

"No need to look, I'm here."

A burst of aroma hit her, and Cheng Wan turned her head to look over, only to see a beautiful girl in an aqua dress walking into the dining room.

Mao Youyi made a junior salute to Magistrate Mao and Mrs. Xu, "Dad, aunt."

"Why are you here so late? Please take a seat quickly."

Mao Youyi did not answer the reason for coming late, but just raised his head and glanced at the people around the dinner table.

There is only one seat between Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Xu.

Mao Youyi lowered his eyes and quietly walked to the empty seat and sat down.

When Commander Mao saw that everyone was here, he immediately smiled and said, "Come, come, let's have a meal. The food is simple. I hope my aunt and my wife won't dislike it."

Mrs. Lin hurriedly waved her hands, smiling so hard that she couldn't see her eyes, "Master Mao, please don't say that, there is no shortage of chicken, duck, fish and meat. If the food on this table is still simple, then there is nothing we can say about the food we eat on weekdays." ,us"

"You're drooling."

Mao Youyi's emotionless voice sounded, interrupting Mrs. Lin's speech.

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

Mrs. Lin hurriedly wiped the table in front of Mao Youyi with her sleeves, and then reached out to move the plate of food in front of Mao Youyi.

"Don't touch it, your hands are not clean."

Mrs. Lin's dark, thin and wrinkled face froze, and she quickly took her hands back. She felt a hot air rushing upwards, and her whole body was filled with embarrassment and bewilderment.

Mrs. Lin's movements were so fast that no one else had time to stop her.

Cheng Wan sat far away from Mrs. Lin, with Cheng Xiaoyu and the others separated from Mrs. Lin.

"Mao Youyi!"

Sheriff Mao slammed his chopsticks onto the table, his face ashen.
