Before the banquet began, Gillian wiped Xiao Chujin's hands and placed the person on the warm bed in the next room.

The couch was covered with red cloth, and common objects were placed on the red cloth, including jewelry, silk flowers, combs, needlework baskets, books, brushes, flutes, hanging paintings, as well as abacus, silver ingots, jade pendants, and official seals.

The guests gathered around the couch and saw the objects clearly. Meng pointed to the wood carved official seal and smiled, "Who put this up? Do you still want us Chu Jin to become officials in the future?"

Gillian looked at Zhao Yanping.

Zhao Yanping pursed his lips.

He put the official seal on it. He did not expect his daughter to be an official, but he just saw that his daughter hid things so seriously. Zhao Yanping hoped that the boys could learn the skills and that his daughter could learn them. In case of any danger in the future, his daughter could protect herself by herself.

"Let's start." Zhao Yanping said to Gillian.

Xiao Chujin was eager to try it out. As soon as her mother let go of her, Xiao Chujin stood up with her hands on her couch. Every object was a little distance away. Xiao Chujin walked forward a few steps, looking here and there, jewelry, silk flowers are very common, and brushes are also available in Dad's study. Abacus ingots are something my mother likes to fiddle with...

There are only jade pendants and official seals, which Xiao Chujin has never seen before.

Xiao Chujin grabbed the jade pendant with one hand and the official seal with the other.

Gillian smiled and reminded her daughter: "Only one can be taken."

Xiao Chujin looked down, put down the jade pendant, and went to find his father with the official seal.

Everyone saw Zhao Yanping, the expressionless official Zhao, and smiled and picked up his little daughter.

The Zhou banquet ended and the guests dispersed. Xiao Chujin was taken to the backyard by Bai Ling to rest. Gillian's family continued to entertain Shen Ying and his son.

Liu really wanted to keep her youngest daughter at home for two nights. After all, Shen Ying followed Xie Ying to Shuozhou to be an official and had not come back for two years.

Shen Ying also wanted to live in her brother's house, but now she is the daughter-in-law of the Yongping Marquis' Mansion. It would be fine if she didn't return to the capital. She didn't go to her husband's house when she came back. Wouldn't she take the initiative to give someone a handle? What's more, there is an annoying legitimate mother in the Yongping Marquis' Mansion, but Yongping Marquis has always taken care of Xie Ying, and Xie Ying's biological mother, Aunt Qin, and Shen Ying should have taken her son to meet her grandmother.

"Don't worry, mom, I have planned everything. I will stay in the capital for three nights. I will stay in the Marquis' Mansion tomorrow. I will go to see the shop the day after tomorrow. I will come here to see you the day after tomorrow, and then I will go back directly." Shen Ying said.

Mrs. Liu asked: "I have lived there for only a few days. Will Mrs. Hou say anything?"

Shen Ying snorted: "What can she say? Xie Ying is alone in Shuozhou. There should be someone around me to take care of me. I will take my son back to take care of my man, and no one can make any mistakes."

Shen Ying was favored by Shen Yuanwai since childhood and had a much cheerful temperament. She didn't have to bear the burden of supporting her family like her brother, nor did she have to be as careful as her sister in the East Palace. After marriage, she had the support of her husband and father-in-law's acquiesce. Shen Ying came and went freely and was much happier than the noble ladies in the deep house.

Liu really doesn't have to worry about this daughter.

After saying goodbye, Shen Ying was leaving. Zhao Yanping carried his little nephew to send his sister out. After reunited for half a day, Xie Ziheng was no longer in opposition to his uncle's family.

The coachman was Shun Ge'er beside Xie Ying, all of whom were old acquaintances. He smiled at Mr. Zhao. When his wife and young master got in a stable position, Shun Ge'er drove away.

Gillian's family also walked in.

Liu went to rest, and Gillian went to pack the gifts as usual. The gifts given by her aunt, Mei and Chen Ying were within the range that Gillian could guess. She was more curious about what Lu Tai Guild gave. When the full moon was full, she gave a little golden pig money jar. This time the gift box was flat, and it was definitely not the second little golden pig.

The first thing Gillians had to remove was Lu Taigong's gift.

Peel off the red paper, open the box, and the golden light shines again inside, which is a pure gold wish.

Not to mention anything else, things made of gold make people feel festive!

It is said that Yu Ya Jin is a vulgar person. A Jiao admits that she is a vulgar person and likes Lu Taigong's gift for her daughter at first sight.

When she picked up Jin Ruyi, she realized that Jin Ruyi was solid. She looked so delicate and exquisite as a toy for her daughter. In fact, she was very good at it, and she was even heavier than the little golden pig on the full moon.

Ah Jiao couldn't help but sigh to Zhao Yanping: "The gifts given by the old lady are so affordable. We Chu Jin will never have to worry about being poor in this life by relying on these two gifts given by him. But look at the old lady himself, he has been wearing cloth clothes and shoes for several times when he met, but he can't tell that he has such a wealth."

Zhao Yanping said: "My teacher is frugal. He doesn't value food and clothing, but he is willing to reward the younger generation."

Gillian looked out the window and was a little worried: "Wutai Mountain is quite far from the capital. Will the road be bumpy?"

Zhao Yanping laughed: "My mentor is just old, so it's not a problem to take care of himself. Besides, there are servants around him, wandering around and stopping, which is not the same as running around day and night to handle cases."

Gillian thought about it and was quite envious. After packing the gifts, she sat next to Zhao Yanping, took his hand and said, "You are an official. When we were young, we couldn't live without this capital. When you resign from your old age in the future, you will also take me to travel around and stroll around?"

Zhao Yanping looked at her beautiful face and hugged the person in his arms and said, "How old are you? You just think about such a far-reaching thing?"

Gillian held his hand and said, "Do you agree?"

Zhao Yanping responded while kissing her.

The couple stood by just now, and the other was just in their early twenties. They were still too far away from their old age. However, the good time of spring is blooming, and it is suitable for going out for a trip. On the end of the month, Zhao Yanping asked Guo Xing to get on the carriage and take Ah Jiao with them. The two children went out together. He also wanted to ask his mother to accompany him, but Liu didn't want the couple to stay at home because of her restraint.

Chunzhu and his maids were on vacation, and Cui Niang followed Ajiao and the others out. The car was narrow and she sat on the shaft outside.

When the young men and ladies of wealthy families go to a good place for sightseeing, either on the mountains with spring flowers or on the banks of clear rivers. Ajiao picked her next to her thirty acres of fields. During the Grain Rain season, it was the time to sow corn. This time, Ajiao came out to let the children relax and see the sowing situation of the tenant farmers at home. It was a killing two birds with one stone.

The carriage was parked on the ground, Zhao Yanping got off the carriage first, took Meng Zhao and his sister down, and then helped Jiao.

The tenant farmers were busy and had not noticed the arrival of the family. Gillian brought the kite and asked Guo Xing, Cui Niang to take Meng Zhao and Chu Jin to fly the kite. She and Zhao Yanping walked slowly along the ground.

Thirty acres of land were rented to eight tenant farmers. The seeds were bought by Gillian and handed over to Yezhuangtou. Yezhuangtou then organized the tenant farmers to cultivate them to ensure that the seeds were planted into the land and no one could embezzle them for his use. Thirty acres of land were connected into one piece, and most of them were planted, and the rest should be planted today.

Ye Zhuangtou finally recognized Gillian and Zhao Yanping, ran over while wiping sweat, and followed a tall and strong young man.

"Sir, Madam, are you here to see the place?" Ye Zhuangtou asked nervously, worried that the new master would pick on them.

Gillian smiled and said, "Not count. Take the children out for a walk, come and have a look. You are moving very fast. You just sent the seeds the day before yesterday."

The master had no intention of blaming them, so Ye Zhuangtou breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to introduce the situation of farming to the couple.

Gillian nodded while listening, but her eyes quietly glanced at the young man beside Ye Zhuangtou. This person is about twenty years old and looks a bit like Ye Zhuangtou. He is tall and tall, with a straight facial features, giving people a very honest and reliable feeling.

The young man was embarrassed by her and lowered his head and touched his head.

When Ye Zhuangtou saw this, he introduced to Gillian, "This is our boss, named Changsheng. You are stupid, why don't you salute the adult lady?"

Ye Changsheng respectfully called him, Madam.

Jiao heard Guo Xing talk about the situation of the Ye family. The family was five, an old lady in her sixties, Ye Zhuangtou and his wife, and two sons. The Ye family used to be poor, but later the two sons grew up and could help the family. The four laborers in the family worked diligently. She paid off all the debts by serving as the former landlord Huang, and bought two acres of land by herself.

When she saw Ye Changsheng, Jiao looked into the ground and asked Ye Zhuangtou: "I heard you have a son?"

Ye Zhuang's face showed a hint of pride and said with a silly smile: "Changqing has been studying for a few years but has not been able to learn, but he was taken by the restaurant in the county and went to do the accounting office. We can finish the work at home, so we didn't call him."

Gillian asked so much for now, and asked the father and son to go to the field to do things.

As soon as the father and son left, Zhao Yanping asked Gillian: "Do you fall in love with the son of the Ye family in Cui Niang's marriage?"

Gillian pulled him away and asked in a low voice: "I originally thought Ye Changsheng was pretty good, but the second son of the Ye family seemed to be more promising. He could recognize words and settle accounts. Judging from Ye Changsheng's appearance, he should be Zhou Zheng when he was younger brother, but he just didn't know how old he was."

This is easy to say. Zhao Yanping first accompanied Jiao to the children, and then sent Guo Xing to find the tenant farmers nearby to inquire about the situation of the Ye brothers.

Cui Niang concentrates on taking care of Xiao Chujin and doesn't know the official at all. Her wife is busy looking for her husband.

After a while, Guo Xing ran back, Zhao Yanping and Gillian walked away from each other and asked Guo Xing to come and say.

Guo Xing gasped and said, "I've found out clearly. Ye Changsheng is 23 years old this year. He is just like Ye Zhuangtou. He has been a kind-hearted person. He has made a marriage once before. Later, the Huang family and Shi family make a big fuss. The crops are ruined. The woman's family is afraid of trouble and temporarily regrets the marriage and marry her daughter to others. The marriage is delayed. The second child, Ye Changqing, is twenty years old, is smart and handsome. It is said that he can go to a restaurant to be an accountant because the lady of the restaurant has taken a fancy to him."

When Ah Jiao heard this, she immediately removed the second son of the Ye family.

Guo Xing asked curiously: "Madam, let me inquire about the marriage between the two brothers?"

He is Cui Niang's brother, and Jiao didn't intend to hide it from him, so she quietly pointed at Cui Niang.

Guo Xing looked at his sister in surprise.

Cui Niang had just handed the kite that she had flew back to Xiao Chujin. Because Xiao Chujin was weak, Cui Niang wanted to help her hold the spool, but Xiao Chujin was unwilling to do so, so she twisted and avoided Cui Niang, not wanting Cui Niang to help. Just as Ah Jiao and the other two looked over, Xiao Chujin suddenly let go, and the kite was blown higher by the wind and ran away with the spool.

Cui Niang chased after her without thinking.

But the kite flew faster and the ground was uneven again. Cui Niang tripped and fell to the ground.

Gillian asked Guo Xing to help Cuiniang quickly, and she and Zhao Yanping went to comfort her crying daughter.

Cui Niang patted the dirt and stood up. When she looked up, she saw the kite still flying, and it had reached an unattainable position. Some of the tenants watched the fun, some of them were busy doing work, and only one young man was watching her.

Cui Niang was in a bad mood and glared at him, and after glaring, she continued to stare at the kite that was leaving.

When Ye Changsheng saw him, he suddenly threw away the hoe in his hand and chased the kite like the wind.

Cui Niang was stunned.

Ye Zhuangtou was also stunned, and came to his senses and cursed his son: "Changsheng, where are you going? Come back and farm for me!"

He didn't see the kite, he only knew that his son had run away, but he ran away under the nose of Mrs. Zhao!

Ye Zhuangtou wanted to chase his son, but he was afraid that Mrs. Zhao would be even more unhappy. Seeing that his son ran farther and farther away, Mrs. Ye Zhuangtou's face turned red and he didn't dare to see Mrs. Zhao.

Gillian and Zhao Yanping were coaxing their daughter just now, but when they heard Ye Zhuangtou's scream, they raised their heads. Seeing Ye Changsheng chasing the kite, the couple thought that the young man just wanted to retrieve the kite for his daughter, so they would not be angry.

Only Guo Xing vaguely guessed who Ye Changsheng wanted to please.

Cui Niang was still disgusting Ye Changsheng: "I won't chase you sooner or later, I will fly so far before I go."

Guo Xing was in a complicated mood. Ye Changsheng didn't go chasing the kite just now. Could it be that he had been staring at his sister all the time, right?
