Looking at the dinner on the table, Boss Ye asked with a straight look in his eyes, "So many dishes tonight?"
Ye Lao Si sat down and said, "How much? Not bad, it's the same in the morning and at noon."
In the morning and at noon, Ye Laosi would wait until Qingtian finished eating before sitting down to eat.
Only after Qin Hexuan left did he dare to sit down. After all, they were all family, so there was no need to be so particular.
Just as Boss Ye was about to pick up his chopsticks, he heard two knocks on the door. Mu Zheng's voice rang out from outside: "Brother Ye, are you here?"
Boss Ye quickly stood up and opened the door, welcoming Mu Zheng, who was carrying something in his hand, in.
"Is it better on a sunny day?" Mu Zheng asked as he entered the house.
"He's fine during the day, the fever has gone away, and he's in good spirits. It just depends on whether he'll have a fever again at night," said Mrs. Ye.
Mu Zheng quickly placed the things in his hand on the table and said, "Everyone knew that Qingtian was ill, so they pooled their money to buy this. I'm sending it here on everyone's behalf."
"You guys are such a jerk! Why are you being so polite?" Boss Ye scolded them, but he was very pleased in his heart. This was a sign that everyone took him seriously.
But Mrs. Ye noticed that Mu Zheng had something else to say, so she asked, "Master Mu, just tell me what you want to say."
Boss Ye looked at Mu Zheng in surprise, leaned over and bumped his shoulder, saying, "We've both been through life and death together, and shared hardships. What could be harder than beating a tiger?"
Mu Zheng then said, "You're a tiger-slaying hero, but you just ran away midway through your patrol. It's not good for you not to attend the dinner tonight!"
"Ah? There's a dinner?" This was Boss Ye's first time hunting a tiger, so he had no idea about the rules.
"Yes, it's led by Shuntian Prefecture Governor Guo Chongliang. Although there aren't any high-ranking officials here, there are quite a few officials and clerks from the capital." Having said this, Mu Zheng glanced at Qingtian and lowered his voice a little embarrassedly, "Qingtian seems to be doing well right now. Why don't you come with me?"
Before, Boss Ye ran away halfway. In order to find an excuse for him, Mu Zheng, who usually hated to explain to others, had to rack his brains to make up a reason for him.
But after all, this dinner was hosted by the Shuntian Prefecture Governor himself. If Boss Ye didn't even attend it, rumors would probably spread tonight that Boss Ye looked down on Guo Chongliang because of his achievements in catching tigers.
Boss Ye felt a bit troubled when he heard this. It wasn't that he was afraid of such occasions, but the main reason was that although Qingtian seemed fine now, the doctor also said that it would be easy for him to have a fever again at night.
He wasn't by his side even though his child was so seriously ill last night, and he made his wife stay up all night.
I have to personally watch over my daughter tonight no matter what.
But Mrs. Ye is a reasonable person.
Although Boss Ye has been named by the emperor twice, he is still an ordinary citizen after all.
Not to mention Lord Guo, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, even the minor officials who were invited were not people that the Ye family could afford to offend.
So Sister Ye took the initiative and said, "Just go if you're asked to. It's sunny now, isn't it? Besides, I'll take care of everything!"
Ye Lao Si quickly said, "Brother, I'm here. I'll help my sister-in-law, so don't worry. If it's too late, I'll drive to pick you up."
Although everyone expressed their opinions, Boss Ye was still a little reluctant and made an excuse: "Why don't we just forget it? I didn't bring any suitable clothes. I can't just go in wearing these tattered clothes, right?"
Mu Zheng said, "The clothes are not simple. We are about the same size. I can find you one."
Mrs. Ye also advised, "Killing a tiger is a great thing. Don't you remember that there was a man in my family who hunted a tiger? Not only did he receive a reward from the government, he was also taken in by Lord Wen and later became an official!
"Now the government wants to celebrate your success. If you don't go, won't it be embarrassing for them?"
Upon hearing this, Boss Ye could only say, "Okay, then I'll try to come back as soon as possible. Don't worry, I definitely won't drink too much."
"What are you talking about!" Mrs. Ye glared at him angrily and said, "Since you're going, you should drink and eat. Being so shy will only make people laugh at you. It's better not to go.
"You and Mu Zheng killed the tiger together. This honor is what you deserve. Let's go openly."
"Okay, then I'll listen to you." Boss Ye nodded.
Mu Zheng was anxious and grabbed Ye Lao Si's arm, as if afraid that he would go back on his word, and pulled Ye Lao Da away.
Since it was led by the Shuntian Prefecture Governor, the place was naturally chosen to be the yamen.
Boss Ye had never participated in such an event before, and Mu Zheng's new clothes were a little tight on him, making him unable to relax.
As soon as he entered the door, Mu Zheng was called away, and someone else led Boss Ye to sit at the table at the side.
Seeing that the other people at the table were brothers who fought the tiger together and that he didn't have to face other strangers, Boss Ye felt a little relieved.
Unfortunately, everyone else at the table was even more nervous than him, so as soon as Mu Zheng left, he couldn't even find anyone to talk to.
Before the banquet began, it was customary for Guo Chongliang to say a few words.
But just as Guo Chongliang picked up the wine glass, a servant ran in quickly and whispered a few words in his ear.
Guo Chongliang's expression changed instantly, and he quickly put down the cup in his hand and said, "Everyone is so lucky today. Finally, Lord Qin Songyin has come in person to visit all the tiger-fighting heroes.
Qin Songyin entered the room, followed by Mu Zheng, who had disappeared since he arrived.
Guo Chongliang hurriedly invited the two to the main table, saying, "You are truly worthy of being Lord Qin. As the saying goes, a strong general has no weak soldiers under his command.
