When Mr. Bai came out of Qili Village, he brought a lot of local products, especially Zhou Lang. He packed several jars of bamboo shoots that he had peeled and pickled this spring.

Xiao Qian now took out a handful of bamboo shoots from the jar, cut the beef and stewed it. When the stew was almost done, he put the cut bamboo shoots in and stir-fried them together, and then stewed them again.

Then she turned around and went to make noodles.

She cooked the noodles, took them out and put them in a bowl. There was only a handful of green vegetables in the bowl of noodles, and she poured a spoonful of the prepared sautee on top. After a while, everyone had a bowl of noodles in front of them.

Manbao immediately started to mix it, and told everyone to eat quickly, and you are welcome...

Bai Shan and Bai Erlang were naturally rude. After mixing, they started eating. After finishing one bowl, they couldn't help but grab another bowl.

Yin You had a weak spleen and stomach, but he couldn't help but eat the whole bowl of noodles. It was exactly what Zhou Man said, after eating it once, he would never forget it again.

Only then did he vaguely understand why Su Guogong liked to eat beef so much, because beef was really delicious.

They had a simple bowl of noodles, while Lao Zhoutou, along with Mr. Bai and the others, had a particularly sumptuous lunch with officials from the Ministry of Rites and Gu Zhong.

When he saw off the officials from the Ministry of Rites, he was still a little unfinished, but as soon as he returned to his yard, he smelled a special fragrance.

He couldn't help but ask: "What smells so good?"

Man Bao poked his head out of the kitchen and said, "Dad, you're back. My sister-in-law is stewing bones for us."

Lao Zhoutou licked his belly and came forward and asked: "Master Bai's house has a lot of delicious food, why do you guys open the fire yourself?"

Bai Erlang nodded repeatedly and greeted everyone, "You can come to my house to eat tonight. My father is happy and he must have made a lot of delicious food."

Man Bao asked: "Dad, have the officials from the Ministry of Rites mentioned the approximate wedding date?"

Lao Zhoutou said: "I didn't say anything. I heard that we have to wait for another princess to get married. I heard that it will be two or three years later. I asked Mr. Bai whether he will live in the princess's mansion or in the future.

Buy another house in the capital to live in."

Old Zhoutou couldn't help but glance at Bai Erlang and said: "Actually, it's not bad for our family to live together. There is no need to buy another house to live in. When the princess gets married and has a princess mansion in the future, we will be more comfortable."

The main reason is that over the past year, it has been much more convenient for the three families to do many things together, all kinds of expenses have been reduced, and everyone is intimate with each other living together.

Especially now that Mr. Bai has become in-laws with the emperor.

Lao Zhoutou didn't know whether Mr. Bai was dizzy or not. Anyway, he was a little dizzy. He only had to think that Mr. Bai was the emperor's in-laws, and not only did he live with the emperor's in-laws, he and Mr. Bai were also relatives.

His daughter's husband's cousin = his daughter's relative, which is equal to his relative, so when combined, he is also a relative of the emperor.

Lao Zhoutou never thought that he would have such a moment, and he still hadn't recovered until Bai Shan and the others took Yin You back to their yard to rest.

He called Manbao to a stop and asked, "When I get back to the village, if I say that I am a relative of the emperor's in-laws, the officials won't accuse me, right?"

Man Bao thought for a while and then said: "Probably not. Who doesn't have a few poor relatives in their family?"

Lao Zhou thought so at first, but he still retorted: "Our family is not poor now."

Seeing that her father was so happy to be a relative of the emperor, Man Bao remembered that she was going to resign. After struggling for a while, she still didn't say anything. She got up, patted her clothes and said, "Dad, you rest for a while, I'll go see Mr.

.”

Bai Shan and the others are also with Mr. Bai. There is nothing they can do. Mr. Bai doesn't want to see the children today. Now that he has calmed down, he feels a little embarrassed about being so excited before.

Mrs. Bai didn't take it seriously. She sat beside him and babbled, "...I heard that Princess Mingda is the biological daughter of the emperor and the queen. She is the most favored among all the princesses. How much dowry do we have to prepare to be worthy of her?

?”

Then he said: "Should our family buy another house in the capital to live in? We can't live in the princess's mansion with the whole family. I don't mind. I'm just afraid that Erlang will be in trouble. If the royal people say something about him.

What should I do if I eat soft food?”

At this point, Mrs. Bai became worried again, "I wonder if the princess is easy to get along with, and whether she will bully Erlang in the future."

Mr. Bai said: "You are too worried. Didn't you listen to what Erlang said? They are friends. Haven't you also seen people say that they are very gentle?"

"But the Tian family princess is always majestic, right?"

Mr. Bai said: "No matter how majestic she is, she is still your daughter-in-law. She must always observe etiquette. Don't be too vain. That will embarrass Erlang."

"You are not worthy. Why are you fainting today?"

Mr. Bai: "I...I am happy. I am happy that Erlang can also marry a wife."

But in fact, I was still in a daze. Mr. Bai was a very self-aware person. Although he was born in the Bai family and was considered a branch of the aristocratic family, his father died early, and the warmth and warmth of people he had seen since childhood was not much less than that of Bai Qi.

Why did he choose to settle in the remote Qili Village when he had so much land and property?

In addition to the fact that the land in Qili Village has good feng shui, it is just to avoid some people.

It is said that a single tree cannot support itself, so his grandfather separated their branch, and he only had two sons.

Although the family has no involvement in the affairs of his branch, they always find excuses to repair the family's ancestral hall during festivals, or to support orphans and widows in the family and ask for some money from him;

Not only this family, but also some officials from the state and county can always find excuses to come to collect money.

Mr. Bai didn't have any great ambitions, and he also knew that he would not be able to become an official, so he simply moved his family to Qili Village, where he could escape the hustle and bustle outside, occasionally go out to socialize, and maintain a close relationship with the outside world.

The relationship is good.

He had always thought that it would be after Da Lang that his group could establish a firm foothold in the prefectures and counties. As for Er Lang, he would be satisfied if he could just be a farmhand in peace.

After all, this kid had real leather when he was young.

Mr. Bai didn't expect that such a naughty boy could be noticed by the emperor and take his family to a new level. He swallowed and said, "I have to thank Mr. Zhuang properly for this."

Mrs. Bai nodded, "Thank you very much, Mr. Zhuang. Thanks to Mr. Zhuang for smoothing things over, there was no mistake."

Mr. Bai glanced at her and said, "I have to thank Zhou Man and Shanbao. I remember that my uncle sent me a piece of Lantian jade. I might as well divide it into four pieces and make a jade pendant for each of them."

Mrs. Bai was stunned and asked: "Don't you want to use it as a gift to make Dalang famous? You also said that you need to take the imperial examination to make yourself famous."

Mr. Bai said: "We don't need it now. Take it out for the children."
