Chapter 075 Marry a Wife When Marry Yang Mengqi
Two avoidance and two quiet signs were raised high by four government officials and walked at the front of the team. The opening of beating gongs and drums was made for Lin Zimo, who was sitting in the official sedan chair of Zhengqipin County. He didn't want to go through the market like this, but in the end he couldn't resist the kindness of his colleagues, so he enjoyed the privileges given to him by the feudal dynasty.
The neatly dressed and decent Yang Mengqi led Chu Hanlu and others to stand at the door to welcome his father-in-law. When a handful of people saw them coming over, Wang Qiang and Gao Xiang lit the firecrackers that had been prepared for a long time. The crackling sound of firecrackers attracted many people to watch. They like to watch the bustle. When they learn that Lin Zimo has become the master of the county, they will not forget to ask for money.
Yang Mengqi, who had been prepared for a long time, asked Wu's mother to take them aside to distribute some copper coins and white rice noodles to show the same meaning as everyone. After dropping the sedan chair, some happy Lin Zimo came out of the sedan chair. He is not used to taking four official steps, so he still maintains his usual walking posture.
Yang Mengqi, who put his hands together and placed on his left waist, half squatted down and said with a bright smile, "Welcome back home."
Immediately, the women behind her also made the etiquette of this era. Lin Zimo walked to Yang Mengqi, bent down slightly to help her up, and then ordered the people behind her to get up. As the wife, she deeply felt the glory of her husband and wife, and Chu Hanlu, who felt very lively, had nothing but good food in her mind.
Lin Zimo entered his door and habitually went to sit down on the armchair in the front hall to rest, while Yang Mengqi sat on another chair. Ji Xiaojuan brought up her carefully brewed tea. Before he had time to drink the tea, he was congratulated by this large group of people in the family.
"You all get up." Lin Zimo, who had a sip of tea, tried to keep calm and said, "Reward."
This group of people immediately blurted out the words 'thank you, sir'. I have long noticed that Yang Mengqi's beautiful and decent Lin Zimo, and his interest suddenly shifted to her. Without a sound, he thought that he should cherish her at night. After all, he likes to express his love for her in the most direct way, and she can feel it.
After the congratulations, the servants left the front hall one after another and were busy going to Zhangluo for dinner. Cai Yue and Cai Lian stayed to serve as the close maids of Yang Mengqi and Chu Hanlu respectively.
Chu Hanlu, who sat on the chair, began to get up restlessly and said, "Brother Zimo, what is the official of Zhixian?"
Lin Zimo, who is also the secretary of the county party committee, the county magistrate, the president of the county court, the chief procurator of the county procuratorate, etc., did not feel flutter, but said humorously, "It's just a little sesame official."
Chu Hanlu, who raised his small head, showed a puzzled look and said, "But I heard that the magistrate is a very big official!"
Seeing her beautiful little appearance, Lin Zimo knew that he, a seven-grade official, was in the eyes of the common people, and was an awesome person. After all, he was in charge of the affairs of large and small counties. In the Ming Dynasty, when the news and transportation were not developed, he was the local emperor. I have the power to take and seize the people under their governance. His words are the imperial edict within the scope of Pingnan County, and few people dare to disobey.
"Little girl, can't you stop for a while?" Yang Mengqi looked at Chu Hanlu beside him and interrupted and said annoyly.
Chu Hanlu, who sat on the chair, was 'oh', and then shook his body left and right, looking very childish. Lin Zimo is not surprised by her appearance. I have this joy around me, which can not only bring him happiness, but also have the effect of eliminating some trouble.
"Your husband, you are already the master of this county, so do I need to move to the county government?" Yang Mengqi signaled.
Lin Zimo felt that moving itself was quite troublesome, and he really didn't want to move around if he was used to living here, otherwise he would have moved to the new house Wang Fugui gave him. On the issue of family affairs, I still like democracy in the true sense, so I asked Yang Mengqi and Chu Hanlu for their meaning.
Before Yang Mengqi could speak, Chu Hanlu opened her mouth first and said, "No, it's better to live here."
Yang Mengqi completely disagrees with her child's knowledge and said, "Now, the prime minister is already the seventh magistrate of the imperial court, so there is still necessary dignity. It's good for us to live here. I'm afraid it's not enough. Although Gao Xiang and Wang Qiang are servants of the family, the slave family knows that the master is quite the martial arts of the two. Therefore, the rough work at home is definitely not suitable for them. Sedan chairman, householder, little man and so on, are always needed.
Her words are reasonable, so Lin Zimo has no reason to object. From ancient times to the present, as long as people reach a certain level, they are really not living for themselves, but definitely living for that face, or living for others. The so-called aristocratic golf has never really aroused his interest.
Lin Zimo has long known that Yang Mengqi's psychological age is far greater than his physiological age, and she is not the kind of vain woman. Therefore, he believed that her remarks were out of public opinion, not for pleasure. In fact, as a big woman, she considers everything in the first place of her own father-in-law.
"Since I have handed over this family to you, it's up to you to arrange it." Lin Zimo said his thoughts and said, "It's very convenient for me to live in the government, but I'm afraid that your women are not very convenient. We still have a vacant house, so we will move there to live. In this way, there should be more than enough left. Do you think it's good?
Yang Mengqi went to see the big house given by Wang Fugui. Although it is not brilliant, carved beams and painted buildings, it can be regarded as one of the best houses in Xunzhou Prefecture. Although there is no small bridge in the house, there is a garden and a two-story show building. There are three completed courtyards. The area over there is large enough, and now the house they live in is five times larger than the area. Even if there are more than a dozen more people in the family, it will not feel crowded.
"That's what my father-in-law said. I will do as you wish." Yang Mengqi, who took two sips of tea, said with a smile, "I will arrange it, so officials must be distracted and be dedicated to dealing with the business of the government office."
Lin Zimo's heart suddenly gave birth to a sense of marrying people and said with a smile, "Marry a wife is to marry Yang Mengqi."
Yang Mengqi, who was so highly praised by his husband, had two faint blushes on his cheeks, and he was shy and secretly happy without saying anything. Cai Yue, standing next to his hostess, heard a real and clear understanding. She knew that Yang Mengqi had the final say in this family, not Chu Hanlu sitting on the side chair. She and Cailian are both close maids, but she clearly felt that her status was far higher than that of each other.
Ji Xiaojuan ran into the front hall again and said, "Sir, ladies, the dinner has been arranged. Please take a seat."
"If you don't say it, I don't feel hungry. What you said made me hungry. Lin Zimo said with a smile.
Ji Xiaojuan smiled and said, "Then please enter the table quickly so that you can try the Miao family sour soup fish I cooked for you."
Lin Zimo, who has always been in a good mood, smiled and said, "Then I must try your craftsmanship. Look at your cute appearance. I'm sure this cooking skill will not be bad.
Ji Xiaojuan, who is standing not far away, is happy. After all, it is a pleasure to get his praise for herself. Her abnormal performance can deceive Yang Mengqi, who has been a person before. Looking at her in front of me, I immediately thought of the beautiful and short girl time when I just married Lin Zimo. Yang Mengqi, who has already been a woman, has also had her kind of girlish feelings. Therefore, her thoughts and ideas are very familiar to Yang Mengqi.
Yang Mengqi knew that Lin Zimo's status was not what it used to be, and he was no longer that poor scholar. If your father-in-law really likes Ji Xiaojuan, it is not impossible to accept her as a concubine. She is very aware of Lin Zimo's advantages, so she didn't want to monopolize him at all. After all, she is not a good woman in the world.
"Isn't it that they are not well-behaved?" Chu Hanlu, who jumped down from the chair, stared at Lin Zi silently.
Lin Zimo picked her up like holding her daughter and said with a smile, "You are the most cute in our family."
Chu Hanlu clicked her little head with satisfaction and smiled proudly, "It's good that you know."
Lin Zimo, who left the front hall, walked into the dining room surrounded by a group of little girls. He, Yang Mengqi and Chu Hanlu sat in their respective positions. I glanced at the various dishes on the table and immediately understood that it was Yang Mengqi's arrangement. After all, Chu Hanlu would not be so careful. Chu Hanlu, whose index finger moved a long time ago, hurriedly picked up the chopsticks to pick up a chicken leg in the plate, regardless of Lin Zimo's first chopsticks.
"My father-in-law hasn't eaten yet. What are you worried about? Will you starve to death if you take a bite less? Yang Mengqi said with a serious look, "How many times have you said that you don't know why you always don't change?"
"Don't worry about her, our family doesn't want this rule." Lin Zimo, who picked up the chopsticks, put another chicken leg into her rice bowl and smiled and said, "Madam, eat."
Yang Mengqi, who sighed, shook his head and said, "It's your father-in-law who spoils you."
