Chapter 228 This guy is here for food

"This is my subordinate, Master Liu!"

"This subordinate has met Mr. Yuan and Mrs. Yuan."

Then put the gift box in his hand on the table next to the head.

Qiao Mai curled his mouth, "You can just call me Mrs. Qiao. My husband is the son-in-law of my family. It's not that I take his surname, but he should take my surname."

Magistrate Zhu covered his mouth and almost failed. This Mrs. Qiao is really interesting, and Yuan Jiaqi is not angry when she looks at it.

"What my wife said is that according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, it should be like this. Yuan Mou married into the family willingly."

The two of them explained so solemnly that Magistrate Zhu felt embarrassed.

"Then what, Mr. Liu, quickly give the children lucky money."

Several children immediately came over to salute together, "Happy New Year, two uncles!"

"Hey, the children in your family are all beautiful, and this little girl is like a little fairy, and her future achievements will be limitless."

Qiao Mai pursed his lips, County Magistrate Zhu's mouth was smeared with honey, and he threw it vigorously if he didn't want money.

Yuan Jiaqi said politely, "Since Brother Zhu is here, why not stay for a meal at noon?"

"Haha, yes, yes, I have heard that your food is not as good as that of the big families in Fucheng. I will be respectful rather than obedient."

The corners of Qiao Mai's and Yuan Jiaqi's mouths twitched at the same time. It seems that this guy came here just for food, so you're welcome.

Seeing people coming to pay New Year's greetings, County Magistrate Zhu consciously went to the side hall, where there was Mayor Qian, they would inevitably have to be polite again.

Qiao's house is really lively, almost everyone in the small town has come to report.

Fortunately, Qiao Mai prepared a lot of red envelopes. When the children received the red envelopes, they also returned them.

The last wave came from Yuan Jiaqi's subordinates, that is, from the Nabo people in She County.

It was the first time for them to come here, and they were all very surprised when they saw the boss’s house like this, this one is too good.

A house like this, not to mention in a town, even in a county, the prefecture can be ranked high.

"This subordinate pays respects to Mr. Yuan and Mrs. Qiao. I wish you and your wife a happy new year, happy family and good health!"

The words spoken are neat, it seems that they have practiced before coming here.

Qiao Mai was very polite to them, "Happy New Year everyone, welcome to my house as a guest, everyone stay for lunch at noon?"

"No, no, we're here just to pay New Year's greetings to the adults and you. We have to go back, and we have to take turns to be on duty during the New Year. The more troubles are prone to happen as the New Year passes."

Seeing this, Qiao Mai hurriedly asked the housekeeper to take people to the warehouse to pick up more than a dozen baskets of items, all of which were food, and asked them to take them home, which made these subordinates very embarrassed.

After these people came, no one came again. The women were about to close the courtyard, and an unexpected visitor came!

A carriage stopped at the gate of the courtyard, and a girl and two maids got out of the carriage.

Women frowned and thought to themselves, "It can't be the master's love, there are so many women looking for the master this time, the master will definitely be angry."

So he asked stiffly, "Excuse me, who is the girl looking for?"

"This girl came to pay New Year's greetings to Lord Yuan and her wife."

"Who are you?"

"I am a local gentry in Shexian County, and I have a good relationship with Mr. Yuan."

Seeing that almost all the people came, the husband and wife got up and told the mother-in-law to go to the kitchen and let them start cooking.

Seeing the doorkeeper woman rushing over, "Master, madam, a girl at the door said she would come to pay you New Year's greetings. Look at that attitude. You don't seem to give up until you see her."

Qiao Mai glared at the Yuan family, "Please come in!"

The two returned to the main seat, Qiao Mai picked up the teacup and took a few sips of tea to moisten his throat first!

Yuan Jiaqi stared at the door angrily with a bitter face. He wanted to see who was coming, and dared to destroy the relationship between him and his wife.

When the couple saw the person coming, Yuan Jiaqi lost his demeanor instantly. He stood up abruptly, pointed at her and said viciously.

"Didn't the official explain it to you? Why are you still pestering the official?"

The girl smiled and gently bent her knees, "Qu Rui has met Mr. Yuan and Mrs. Yuan. I wish you and Mrs. Yuan a happy new year."

"Well, Happy New Year, Ms. Qu, sit down." Qiao Mai didn't feel any pressure on her.

"Madam is better!"

She sat in the guest chair, smiling all the time.

Yuan Jiaqi looked at Qiao Mai puzzled, and Qiao Mai pointed at the chief seat.

"Sir, come, sir, Miss Qu must have something to say when she comes here, right, Miss Qu?"

"Yes!"

"Then let's talk."

"You are not worthy of Master Yuan!"

"Well, many people say that I am not good enough for him, but he just likes me so much, there is no way, I also want to be single and happy, but he always pesters me, right, my husband?"

The Yuan family hurriedly nodded, "Miss, you are absolutely right, I can't live without you in this life."

The two of them were acting as a loving couple in front of her, and Miss Qu almost bit her lips.

"If you want to be good for him, you should leave him quickly. My Qu family has a backer in the capital, which will only benefit his future career."

"You're wrong. I can't leave him just for his own good. What if I leave him and he dies of lovesickness? By then, all promotions and fortunes will be gone, right, my husband?"

Qiao Mai gave Yuan Jiaqi a wink, and Yuan Jiaqi nodded hurriedly.

"My lady, I don't see you every day like three autumns. In this life, I, Yuan, will be your man, and my death will be your ghost."

Qiao Mai was cursing in his heart, his mother, he has acted to this point, if he had any self-knowledge, he would have run away crying, and he is still sitting there, so thick-skinned.

Miss Qu was so angry that her hands trembled, "Just keep acting. I am not afraid. From the first time I saw Lord Yuan, I have fallen into a trap. I will never marry her for the rest of my life!"

Qiao Mai nodded, "Yes, after you boil me to death, you can marry him!"

Yuan Jiaqi held her hand, "Miss, on the day you die, my husband and I will not live alone, I went with my wife."

This little knife is really timely, Miss Qu stood up angrily.

"You guys are really deceiving people!"

Qiao Mai snorted coldly, "Are we bullying? I think it's Miss Qu, an unmarried woman who falls in love with a married man who lives in love. You insist on meddling."

"It's normal for a man in this world to have three wives and four concubines. My Qu family is powerful. You are a village woman with no face, no talent and no morals. Hurry up and get out of your position as the main wife, otherwise, hum!"

Qiao Mai slapped her across the air, and slapped her into the courtyard. Qu Rui slapped on the ground like a big cake.

The two girls hurried over, "Miss, miss,"

Qu Rui struggled to get up from the ground, "Go, teach this village woman a lesson!"

The two girls said in their hearts, you are really obsessed, this is on other people's territory, you came here to clamor, let us do it? We don't want to die.

At this moment, Qiao Mai came out, the movement was so loud that even the people in the next hall came out to look.

Here, what's going on here?

Qiao Mai looked at Miss Qu who was staring at him on the ground, "Look at your appearance, your skin is as thick as stickmeal, I feel like it would be handy to slap you, tell me what you are, go to the capital to inquire, the emperor wants He didn't even agree to recruit my family's husband-in-law, but you dare to make such wild remarks, who do you think you are? Is it a golden branch and a jade leaf, or the empress of the palace, to be so shameless and obscene."

"You, you wait for me!"

"I'll wait, my man, unless he says he wants to leave, I will let him go, otherwise no one can come, whoever dares to be rough, I will kill him, go back and take a good look in the mirror, I can't carry it on my shoulders, You can't pick your hands, that is, you can't make a little contribution to the country, and you can't make a little profit for the people. A fool like you who knows how to read poems and songs and thinks he can go to heaven, my husband doesn't even want to look at you, get out !"

"You, you, you, you poisonous woman, I will fight you!"
