Miss Qu was hurt by her words, the pain of lovesickness for many days, and her weak body made her spit out a mouthful of blood and passed out.

Mayor Qian and the others swallowed their saliva, but they didn't come forward to be troublesome.

Qiao Mai pointed at the door, "Take your master and get out, if you dare to show up at my house in the future, if you behave like this again, I will treat her as a bandit and beat her to death."

The two maids, one carrying Miss Qu on their backs, and the other supporting them, went out of the courtyard, got into the carriage, and fled like the wind.

Qiao Mai yelled, "Close the door, if she dares to come again, she will beat me hard. She is a shameless thing. If she dares to make fun of my old lady during the Chinese New Year, I will never die of embarrassment."

Mayor Qian and County Magistrate Zhu both saw Qiao Mai's toughness, and their voices were a little trembling, the tigress was too scary.

"What's the matter?"

"Hmph, what's the matter? You can ask him?"

Qiao Mai went to the kitchen angrily, leaving Yuan Jiaqi behind, so he had no choice but to explain the matter.

"So Brother Yuan's peach blossoms are so prosperous?"

"It's because I have potential. Now that I'm an official, I was a poor boy with a child. A rich girl like her wouldn't even pay me a second glance."

"That girl really has the courage to bravely break into the tiger's den for you?"

"Stop teasing me, my lady is angry!"

"Siblings and sisters are really hurt."

"I just like the way she looks, so cute, huh!"

When the Yuan family mentioned this, several people almost vomited. It is only now that Lu Sanniang has just realized what the real calamity is.

It made her know more about Qiu Mai, and several people sat down and asked.

"Who is that girl?"

Yuan Jiaqi sighed, "She is the daughter of a well-known wealthy gentry in She County."

"It's just a businessman, nothing fancy."

"A relative in her family is a third-rank official in the capital."

County magistrate Zhu chuckled, "The most indispensable thing in the capital is officials. There is a saying, there are as many dignitaries in the capital as dogs, and small officials and big officials leave easily."

"Haha, Brother Zhu, you are so funny!"

"My family is also from the capital, so I naturally know."

"Do you have a senior official in your family?"

"Of course there is. My old man is a cabinet scholar in the capital. Is he good or not? She is as low-key as a person in the capital, and she is a piece of shit who uses the third-rank official to show her prestige in the backcountry and rob people. She is an official man." , It’s really outrageous, I’ll write a letter later and ask my old man to refer to him.”

"Yo, I can't tell, County Magistrate Zhu still has this family background."

"Ah, you have all of them, can I not? Don't say anything else, let's talk about you, Mayor Qian. Your eldest brother is also a famous figure in the capital, and you, County Magistrate Yuan, don't think I don't know. Your family This old lady here is a first-rank imperial lady, and her natal family, Grand Master Pang, is also very powerful."

"Yuan's heart is for the people, and it has nothing to do with the power behind him."

"Fart, let me tell you, if you don't have power, a good official will not last long. You must have power to do practical things for the people and the country, otherwise everything will be empty talk."

"Hey, what Yuan said is not to bully others, relying on the mountain? Of course it is necessary."

"Sly head!"

While talking, the women began to arrange dishes in the side hall.

County Magistrate Zhu hurriedly got up, scratched his head at the door, and looked towards the side hall, swallowing while watching.

"I said Brother Yuan, your food is really good. You can't get these in the north."

"Of course, the cooks are all trained by my wife herself. If you want to eat brother Zhu, come here, but don't leave empty-handed."

County magistrate Zhu curled his lips, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhu still has rules, and he will never eat anything for nothing when he goes to anyone's house."

"Hey, my family can come and eat for free." Mayor Qian laughed at him.

County magistrate Zhu stared, "You pretend I don't know, how much favor did you give to Mrs. Qiao in private?"

Mayor Qian was afraid that Lu Sanniang would misunderstand, "Didn't Mrs. Qiao save the old man's life, so she said she shouldn't?"

"She seems to have saved your elder brother's life, right? I heard that he has been sick at home for a long time, and you sent someone to deliver the medicine once, and his illness gradually got better?"

"Is your news good?"

"Of course, if you don't work well, how can you be the county magistrate? In the area under my jurisdiction, I know all the shady things about any family. What is this called? If you know the enemy, you will win every battle."

The Yuan family laughed, "Taught!"

While talking, Qiao Mai came, "Everyone, take your seats."

County magistrate Zhu hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, take your seat, take your seat, let's eat, this taste is too fragrant, I can't stand it."

Seeing him drooling, everyone made fun of him.

County magistrate Zhu was able to bend and stretch, so he didn't care about these things. He sat down at the table and reached out to pick up the jug and handed it to Master Liu.

"You followed me to enjoy the glory, and you are responsible for pouring the wine!"

"Yes, my lord!"

In Master Liu's heart, he really got a lot of credit, such a banquet is not easily seen in the capital.

When he was pouring the wine, the smell of the wine almost made him drool into the wine glass. Magistrate Zhu gave him a disgusted look, and quickly wiped his saliva with his sleeve.

When the dishes are ready and the wine is full, County Magistrate Zhu asked.

"Where is the old lady?"

Qiao Mai waved his hand and said, "Her old man said that she won't come to the front at noon, and asked the kitchen to deliver it to her."

"That's right, when I get old, I don't like to make do with the juniors."

Mayor Qian rolled his eyes at him, "Be careful with what you say!"

"Haha, I forgot about you, you are still young, not old at all."

Xiuhong and Xiuyu went to the kitchen to eat. On the table were County Magistrate Zhu, Mayor Qian, and six people from Qiao's family.

A total of ten people, sixteen dishes, seafood, meat and vegetables are matched, the red one is seafood, the green one is vegetables, and the golden one is meat.

County magistrate Zhu didn't bother to clink wine glasses with others, and quickly picked up the dishes with chopsticks.

Don't look at him eating fast, but he doesn't look vulgar, and his movements are very elegant.

Here, Mayor Qian peeled shrimp and crab for Lu Sanniang, and here Yuan Jiaqi peeled for Qiao Mai, all with their daughter-in-law. County magistrate Zhu looked at this, then looked at that, and decided to bring his wife next time.

It was just his wife who stripped him, he had never done this before, he thought it was immoral for a man to serve a woman, but now looking at the two lovers in front of him, the cold and nothing had disappeared, and he saw the love in them even more.

County magistrate Zhu was envious while eating, "I said, younger brothers and sisters, is your food going to the outside world?"

"Don't spread it, only eat it at home, the recipe has already been sold to the Wang family, so don't make up your mind."

"It's no wonder the Wang family makes so much money. It turns out that it's all prescriptions that flowed away from you."

Qiao Mai smiled without humming, and County Magistrate Zhu tilted his head to ask Mayor Qian again.

"Then did you take some of your pastry recipes away from her?"

"It's really lenient, eat your way, you treat this as your court, and try the case, if this is the case, you get out as soon as possible!"

Mayor Qian rolled his eyes at him, County Magistrate Zhu chuckled, and quickly stuffed food into his mouth, and then Bada took a sip of liquor.

"This wine is really fragrant, brother and sister, when you leave, why don't you give my brother two bottles?"

"Then I will give you a jar of five catties, but if you say that I am such a good wine, does it count as bribery?"

"Can't I buy it?"

"One thousand taels and one altar!"

"Are you stealing money?"

"Don't buy it and pull it down!"

"Buy, buy, buy, I really convinced you."

Mayor Qian rolled his eyes at him, "Just be content with it, she paid 1,500 taels for this wine, and if you charge you 1,000 taels, you'll be rich."

"Really, really?"

"snort!"

The children ate in silence, silently looking at the county magistrate who looked like a bumpkin, and hurriedly finished the rice in the bowl.

"Mother, Dad, we are full."

"Go play by yourself!"

"yes!"

When the child was about to leave, he glanced at County Magistrate Zhu, and that look made County Magistrate Zhu uncomfortable.

He immediately slowed down his eating, saying that he has seen the big world, you little fellows don't need to pity me.
