When the villagers heard that the governor had prepared red eggs for them, they congratulated him and lined up to receive them.
This is the red egg of the governor's son, so we have to share in the good luck.
"Sir, we originally came here to congratulate you, but ended up making you spend money again." The old lady felt a little embarrassed as she held the six red eggs that had just been handed to her.
Originally, they came here to thank the governor for his wholehearted help during the earthquake.
As a result, the adults had to spend money again. There were hundreds of people coming this time, and several large baskets of eggs had to be distributed.
"Old man, today's time is too short and the preparations are not sufficient, but your intentions are the same as mine, so please don't be polite."
Shen Nian was originally thinking about so many people and didn't know how to respond to their kindness. This time, he finally wouldn't let them go back empty-handed.
Every citizen who came to congratulate received a red egg and went back happily.
What made them happy was not that they received red eggs from the governor's house, but that the governor did not despise them and always cared about them.
Everyone who came to the door to attend the full moon banquet, whether they were officials or wealthy nobles, felt jealous when they saw this scene.
The Governor is a good official. He is supported by so many people in Sangluo City. The gentry may not feel much, but people like Lord Li and the head of the Bai family suddenly feel fortunate. How lucky it is to have a local official who is honest and upright and cares about the people.
After the people dispersed, Xia Tian and Shen Nian invited others in.
After Cui's aunt and everyone were seated, she began to order the kitchen to serve the dishes.
The old man and the old lady of the Cui family were both sitting in the seats of honor. Many people only then knew that the Cui family was actually Lord Shen's maternal uncle's family.
Suddenly, more and more people came to try to get close to him.
The old man of the Cui family has been talking non-stop since he stood outside the gate.
This grandson brings him great honor.
Aunt Cui also came today. I haven't seen her for half a year. Looking at the child in Xia Tian's arms, I feel complicated and more guilty.
After all, it was because of her daughter Yang Yiyi that things were quite unpleasant at the time!
I felt a little embarrassed when we met again. "Xia Xia, this is a gift from my aunt to the child. Congratulations!"
Cui Biyun, the aunt of the Cui family, handed over a carefully prepared gift box.
Xia Tian looked at her aunt who was standing next to her. Her aunt was looking at her with a smile on her face.
Xia Tian was silent for a moment, but still took it with a smile, "Then I'll thank Auntie on Youyou's behalf."
Cui Biyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was nervous just now, fearing that her nephew's wife would hold a grudge and refuse to accept the gift.
Fortunately, someone gave her a way out.
"You're welcome. We're all close relatives. I was ignorant before. Xia Xia has forgiven me, and I promise I won't do stupid things again."
Cui Biyun put aside her pride and apologized to Xia Tian.
I've been holding this matter in my heart for half a year, and I've wanted to come and apologize for a long time.
I just can't save face!
During the last earthquake, she received life-saving medicine from her nephew's wife through her parents, and she has always felt a little guilty about it.
I just haven't found the opportunity!
This time Shen Nian gave birth to a child, and she should have come to see the child earlier, but her mother stopped her.
He said that they should first let Xia Tian test the waters and then come to the house, so as not to let her affect the mood of his nephew's wife during her confinement.
Receiving the invitation from Chen Nian this time was already a way for her to get out of this situation. She had to apologize and talk it out anyway.
Otherwise, it would be too unreasonable if relatives became strangers!
The child was born in the summer, and for half a year, Cui Biyun hadn't had any more trouble with Yang Yiyi. Seeing her sincere attitude, she didn't bother with it anymore. "It's good that my aunt doesn't bother with a junior like me!"
This has completely resolved the conflict between the two families!
Yang Yiyi stood in the distance and didn't dare to come over.
Cui Bijun apologized and talked things out before she dared to call Yang Yiyi over.
"Yiyi, come here!"
Yang Yiyi walked over hesitantly, glanced at Xia Tian, quickly looked away, and whispered, "Cousin, I'm sorry!"
After saying this, Yang Yiyi lowered her head unnaturally!
Xia Tian raised his eyebrows slightly, "You're welcome, cousin!"
She really didn't expect Yang Yiyi to come and apologize to her.
It seems that I have figured out a lot in the past six months.
Cui Bijun was afraid that Xia Tian would misunderstand again, so she quickly explained, "Yi Yi is already engaged and will be getting married in May next year!"
When Yang Yiyi heard her mother say this, her face turned red, "Cousin, I'm going to look for my cousins first."
Without waiting for Xia Tian's response, he ran away!
"This child is still shy." My aunt came to the rescue with a smile.
Xia Tian nodded, and the conversation started, and the others began to talk more.
Cui Biyun even hugged Youyou and praised, "This child is growing up so well!"
As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant from his sleeve pocket and stuffed it into Youyou's swaddling clothes.
Xia Tian saw it but didn’t say anything!
The banquet began, and the governor's mansion was filled with cheers, with everyone vying to toast Shen Nian.
"Sir Shen, congratulations. From now on, we will follow your lead." Sir Cao was the first to raise the wine glass.
He now completely understood that it would definitely not be a mistake to follow such a young and promising governor.
Now he was somewhat impressed by Lord Li's vision. Ever since Lord Shen took office in Linzhou, he had been following him closely and obeying his orders.
At that time, he thought that Lord Li was a bit of a bootlicker, but he didn't expect that he was a man with a keen eye for talent.
Fortunately, I did not cause trouble for Lord Shen when he first took office. It is not too late to show my loyalty now.
"Master Cao, you're joking!" Chen Nian picked up his wine glass and clinked it with the others. "We are all colleagues, and we are all doing this for the people of Linzhou. Let's work together to govern Linzhou well and let the people of Linzhou live a good life. This will be worthy of the emperor's trust in us."
"Master Shen is absolutely right!" Master Cao smiled and nodded. "This is all for the people of Linzhou. We respect you, Master."
After that, Lord Cao, Lord Li, and Lord Wang raised their glasses again to toast Shen Nian.
After Lord Cao and others left, the heads of the Bai and Guo families came over to congratulate him.
Shen Nian was happy today, and everyone gave her face.
Those who couldn't line up to toast Shen Nian turned their attention to the old man of the Cui family, the eldest uncle of the Cui family and others.
It was very lively here for a while.
However, he didn't eat many bites of the carefully prepared dishes.
Cui's uncle was also beaming today because his nephew was respected and he naturally felt proud.
"Sir, someone is coming from the capital!"
Butler Chen squeezed in from the crowd and reported to Shen Nian!
The people who were originally toasting suddenly fell silent and turned to look at Butler Chen.
Shen Nian also put down his wine glass and asked, “Who is here?”
