In the early morning, the thin morning light shrouded in the sky over Liuhe Town, as if sprinkling a layer of golden light on the town, and the Jiangnan town with white walls and green tiles was draped in a layer of golden gauze, like a noble girl slim.

On the bluestone path at the entrance of Liuhe Town, Zhang Xiancheng, Yao Zhuji, and Li Dianshi stood at the forefront, looking forward to the distance, and behind them were a group of dismissed officials, holding various welcome gifts in their hands.

Today was the earliest time they had gotten up, and they came to the town after the dawn showed a little sign of it.

They are like this, just to welcome the distinguished guest invited by Zhang Xiancheng - Qianxu and his father-in-law.

The morning light was thin, and the eastern sky was like a fire, a piece of red and a piece of gold slowly spread, and then turned into a fish belly white, and then the morning sun showed its head like a shy girl in a thousand calls.

The sun has risen.

Zhang Xiancheng, Yao Zhushu and others watched a complete sunrise at the entrance of the town.

Not only that, but they watched the sun rise higher and higher from the rising sun, higher and higher, and brighter and brighter.

Until the sun rises three poles.

Liuhe Town has already woken up, those who enter the town and those who leave the town, many people saw Zhang Xiancheng and his party, and then they couldn't help but look at them a few more times, is this waiting for someone? So grand?!

The sun is still rising, slowly approaching the center.

The people who went out of the town to do errands all came back, and when they saw Zhang Xiancheng and them still at the entrance of the town, they couldn't help but look sideways and smack their tongues.

"Brother-in-law, when has this been, why hasn't this father-in-law come yet? Did you tell him this morning? ”

Li Dianshi stood for a long time, his legs were numb, coupled with the hot and sunny sun, and the strange eyes of passers-by, he was impatient to wait, and couldn't help but complain to Zhang Xiancheng on the side.

"That's right, it's almost noon, why hasn't Father-in-law Qian come yet? It can't be forgotten, right?! ”

The officials couldn't help it for a long time, and when they heard Li Dianshi complaining, they couldn't help but echo it.

Compared with the impatient Li Dianshi and others, Master Yao stood in place, gently shaking the folding fan, and his face was calm.

"Humph! Don't have any patience at all?! Still want to make friends with nobles?! At the beginning, Uncle Liu Huang visited the thatched house three times, and then invited the noble Zhuge Liang who was in his life, but now it is just to make you wait for a while longer, and you can't stand it?! How to achieve great things! ”

Zhang Xiancheng snorted coldly, and glanced at everyone with his eyes, especially Li Dianshi's key care.

"Yes, yes, Lord Zhang taught me a lesson."

The officials nodded again and again, and regained their spirits.

The crowd continued to be at the entrance of the town, looking forward to it.

The sun continued to rise, and it was almost an hour away from noon, and the sun in late autumn was very poisonous, and Zhang Xiancheng and others who were waiting at the entrance of the town couldn't help but sweat. Li Dianshi and the others sprouted again, and they complained suspiciously. In fact, at this time, Zhang Xiancheng couldn't help but be a little suspicious, his face was worried, and he paced in place, should he really forget it? ! Or is it misremembering?!

Just when Zhang Xiancheng and the others were about to give up, they saw a gorgeous sedan chair appear in the field of vision.

This is a sedan chair carried by four people, the sedan chair is very gorgeous, and there are four guards with waist knives on both sides.

As soon as he saw this sedan chair, Zhang Xiancheng's eyes lit up.

He knew this sedan chair, Father-in-law Qian was trapped in the mountains, and when he went to visit, Father-in-law Qian rested in this sedan chair.

"Hurry up, cheer me up, my father-in-law is here. In the sedan chair that came over from the opposite was Father-in-law Qian. Zhang Xiancheng said to Li Dianshi and others while tidying up his clothes.

"Ah, Grandpa Qian is here."

"Grandpa Qian is finally here."

The people were excited, and finally they didn't wait in vain.

Far away, before the sedan chair approached, Zhang Xiancheng took Yao Zhushu and other people to greet him.

"Father-in-law Qian is here, and it is really a sin and a sin for us to miss the distance." Zhang Xiancheng greeted the sedan chair, bowed down and said.

The officials and others all echoed, saying words of welcome, and bowing like shrimp one by one.

The four people carrying the sedan chair were dressed in cyan chamberlain, and they were all small eunuchs with clear eyebrows.

put down the sedan chair in front of Zhang Xiancheng and others, and a waiter in front bent down and pinched the orchid finger and opened the sedan door.

"Hehe, the miscellaneous family is a small yellow door, where can you afford to be a big driver."

A shrill laugh came from the sedan chair, and then a hand holding a snow-white embroidered handkerchief stretched out from the sedan chair, and the attendant in front of him diligently helped him, and the owner of the sedan chair walked down from it.

This is a little eunuch with clear eyebrows and a smile at the corners of his eyes, about eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in a purple inner service suit, and his clothes and materials are several levels higher than the little eunuch carrying a sedan chair.

This person is the humble father-in-law.

"Deserve it, you can afford it, but the humble father-in-law serves the saints, and the hard work is high, if the humble father-in-law can't afford it, how can anyone afford it." Zhang Xiancheng and the others hurriedly stepped forward to compliment.

"Hehe, the miscellaneous family is just a slave, but the ancestor has cultivated the blessing, so he has the honor to help the long-lived master share his worries and serve the concubine." Father-in-law Qian put the embroidered handkerchief to his lips and smiled, his voice was very sharp.

Zhang Xiancheng and the others hurriedly complimented again, and then sent the gifts.

Father-in-law Qian glanced at the gifts, well, a stack of silver tickets, a plate of silver ingots, and a plate of pearls...... This gift is very valuable, and the smile on the corner of his mouth is even brighter, "Oh, look at what you guys are doing, isn't this a mistake for the miscellaneous family......"

Father-in-law Qian said the words of refusal, looking at the gift, but his eyes were shining, and he didn't mean to look away.

"Where, Father-in-law Qian shared the worries for the saint, worked tirelessly, and went thousands of miles to the south of the Yangtze River to buy Jinbao pearls. I can't wait, I have bathed in the emperor's grace for generations, and I also want to do a little bit for the saint, these are all part of our hearts, and I ask my father-in-law to fulfill us. Zhang Xiancheng bowed his waist and took the lead and said.

"Yes, yes, Father-in-law Qian, we also want to do our best, and ask Father-in-law Qian to do it." A cadre of officials spoke one after another.

"Oh, I see, you didn't say it earlier, the miscellaneous family almost misunderstood you. Since you also want to serve the saints, the miscellaneous family can't be unkind and prevent you from fulfilling your filial piety. This intention of yours was accepted by the miscellaneous family on behalf of you, and the worries and difficulties of the saint were shared for you. ”

Father-in-law Qian pinched the orchid fingers and held the embroidered handkerchief, half-covered his slightly curved lips, nodded with a smile, and motioned to the little eunuch who followed to accept all the gifts.

"Thank you, father-in-law." Zhang Xiancheng thanked him again and again.

"Thank you, father-in-law." A cadre followed and thanked him.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, it's all about solving problems for the saint." Grandpa Qian smiled and waved his hand, his eyes bent into crescent moons.
