Chapter 310 Congratulations from All Families
Before it even got dark, the first and second branches of the Liang family knew everything they needed to know. The news even spread to the neighboring village, and many people from the neighboring village came over specifically to get the detailed version.
Bai was panic-stricken and like a frightened bird, fidgeting restlessly, worried that Xu Zhichun would rush into the house in the next second, stand at the head of the bed and point at her and curse her.
She had no intention of paying attention to her husband's series of complaints or the envious and complaining expressions of her two sons.
The atmosphere in the Liang family's main house was also very bad.
The whole family is boring.
Despite such a lively atmosphere today, their whole family didn't get involved in anything and didn't even dare to show their faces - for fear of being laughed at.
Zhang was cursing.
Uncle Liang was regretting why he hadn't gone to the government office earlier to file a report. If they had gone first and taken all the credit for the tribute, wouldn't all the glory today belong to their family?
The special regard from Lord Lu, the commendation and rewards from the court, and the honor of the personal visit from the Prime Minister were all theirs.
He has fame, money, and a bright future for his son.
Now there is nothing!
Only an ignorant daughter completely severed the natural close relationship between the two families.
The news that Meng Fucheng and Lu Xianling had gone to Xu Zhichun's home with great fanfare to deliver the imperial commendation and rewards spread quickly. The next day, Madam Qin was the first to prepare a generous gift and go in person to congratulate him.
When other families heard the news, they naturally did not want to be left behind. The wives of each family drove to Liangjia Village to congratulate Xu Zhichun.
Who wouldn't want to be involved in something that adds icing on the cake? And it's all within our reach.
Who knows if we will have dealings in the future?
Look at the Qin family. They quietly established friendship with Madam Xu before anyone knew who she was. Whenever Madam Xu had any good things, she would think of them first and give them to them.
The thresher, windmill and water pestle are all beneficial to the country and the people. They not only brought a lot of wealth to the Qin family, but also brought a good reputation. As a result, other businesses also flourished.
And as for sweet potatoes and potatoes, others fought tooth and nail, resorted to various methods, and paid exorbitant prices to only get a tiny bit. But what about the Qin family? It was said that they could easily get hundreds of kilograms of each.
And strawberries, tomatoes, and ice jelly.
All in all, the Qin family won.
No wonder he can become the richest man!
Who can compare with this vision, knowledge, and foresight?
In short, just follow the Qin family from now on.
The Qin family eats meat, so it’s not too much for them to drink some soup, right?
Furthermore, this county had never seen a commoner woman granted a title by the Emperor. The title of "Lady Shanci" sounded impressive, and the ladies were envious and subtly proud: "Look, a woman can be this powerful, right? Better than so many men!"
After meeting Xu Zhichun and Liang Mingxuan, everyone was more impressed by the way his uncle and sister-in-law treated others with calmness and propriety, and there was nothing wrong with them.
Those who have children at home feel closer and more friendly than others, and ask Xu Zhichun for advice on raising children.
I originally thought that the titles of "child prodigy", "youngest student", and "excellent temperament" were all exaggerated. After all, it is not easy for a farmer's family to send a scholar, and it is even more difficult to pass the examination to become a student. Isn't it just bragging?
Only when you see the real person will you know: it is worthy of the name!
Look at that little prodigy and that little boy prodigy, how good they are. I don’t know how Madam Xu brought them up. She would be satisfied if her own child could be half as good as that little boy prodigy!
Xu Zhichun was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Help! She has no idea how to raise a child. Isn't it just because Mingxuan is born with good looks and talent? It has nothing to do with her.
Of course, she didn't dare say this, for fear of being called Versailles.
On the day that Madam Qin came, Liang Xiaoman hurried over early in the morning with two farmhands, Zhang Quan and Liu Guang.
Liang Xiaoman excitedly congratulated the host and said, "I was afraid that there would be too many people coming to congratulate you, Madam, so I brought Zhang Quan and Liu Guang with me to help entertain them. Madam, don't worry, we will stay in the yard and not enter the house."
Xu Zhichun was immediately delighted. "You've come at the perfect time. There are mule carts, donkey carts, and drivers here to help take care of things."
She had to entertain the guests, so Nanny Qin Qing and Muxiang were there to take care of her. Mingxuan was still young and a student, so it was ok for Nanny Qin Qing and Muxiang to be the only maids and servants from other families who came with him. The coachman had to ask the villagers to help entertain one or two of them.
Liang Xiaoman brought Zhang Quan and Liu Guang with him, so there was no need to trouble the villagers.
Xu Zhichun praised Liang Xiaoman a few times, but she had never expected this.
Liang Xiaoman scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "I didn't expect that either. It was my master who asked someone to tell me that."
Xu Zhichun suddenly realized, "Manager Zhong is indeed very experienced. With a master like him, you don't have to worry about not having a promising future."
Liang Xiaoman nodded repeatedly: "Of course not!"
He also admires his master very much.
With more help, the guests were handled in an orderly manner. It was lively for several days in a row. The family was overwhelmed with gifts. Liang Mingxuan and Liang Xiaoman helped to record each one, and Nanny Qin Qing and Muxiang helped to open the gift boxes and put them away in categories.
Except for the Qin family, whose gifts were more expensive, the gifts from other families were very sensible and appropriate, which made Xu Zhichun feel relieved.
As expected, everyone knows etiquette and knows what kind of gifts are appropriate.
The Zeng family also sent someone to deliver gifts. It was the eldest lady of the Zeng family. Xu Zhichun received her politely for a cup of tea. She did not open the gift and asked Liang Xiaoman to deliver it to their door and return it intact.
The Zeng family had no choice but to give up in disgrace.
Not to mention the various previous conflicts and grudges, just based on what Zeng Mingzhu had done to Xu Zhichun, Xu Zhichun did not immediately drive Zeng Da Shao's wife away and was willing to entertain her, which shows that she did not vent her anger on the Zeng family because of Zeng Mingzhu. The fact that she returned the gift intact also meant that she did not want to be on good terms with the Zeng family.
The Zeng family was in chaos and in a mess because Zeng Mingzhu ran away and disappeared, and Mrs. Zeng was making trouble every few days. The family had to take over the management of the household.
It was she who suggested to her father-in-law that they go to Xu Zhichun's house to give gifts and congratulations.
All the families they interact with on weekdays go, and it would look bad if they didn't go.
Let’s talk about it when we get there.
Mr. Zeng praised her for her thoughtfulness and asked her to represent the Zeng family.
Although this result is not satisfactory, it is still good.
Unexpectedly, when Madam Zeng found out, she sneered and mocked, "A pheasant is still a pheasant. Even if she flies to a branch, she can't become a phoenix. Even if she is given the title of Madam, what's the use? She's still just a country woman! This kind of empty talk is only a temporary excitement. Who will recognize her afterward? It's ridiculous that these people are rushing to get involved! I didn't expect there would be such people in our family!"
