Luo Shi originally wanted to hold one at home, and just invite people he knew directly.

Qiu Zhi suddenly said at this time: "Brother Wen is considered an official now, so why not take this opportunity to get to know everyone you should know and expand your network.

In addition, let the Xie family see that Rongrong will not have anyone to rely on if they leave the Xie family. What do you think? "

Qiu Zhi looked at the people in the yard. Except for Xie Anyi who was still crying and a few little heads lying on the windows and doors of the wing, everyone else looked at him and Wen Xiuyi.

Qiu Zhi turned to look at Wen Xiuyi: "What do you think?"

Wen Xiuyi: "But I don't know anyone."

Magistrate Chen felt that this was the time to play his role, so he volunteered and patted his chest: "I'm here, don't worry, I've made arrangements for you who to invite and where to send the post."

After saying that, fortunately, he patted Wen Xiuyi on the shoulder like a brother and promised: "Don't worry, we will never wrong our eldest niece."

Qiu Rongrong and Wen Yao secretly glanced at each other, now they are their eldest niece.

Qiu Rongrong whispered to Qiaoyan: "There is a famous painting from the previous dynasty in my dowry. Mr. Chen saw it at his house before, but Xie Yushan was reluctant to give it to him. You can find it when you get back and send it to Mr. Chen's house."

Qiaoyan suppressed a smile and nodded: "Yes, Miss."

County Magistrate Chen looked at the female relatives of Wen's family. Wen Xiuyi didn't have a daughter-in-law, and the old lady didn't know that the roof could withstand such a big thing, so he tried to ask: "There will definitely be many people who will do this by then." Bring your family here...How about I ask my wife to help you?"

"That's great, please excuse me, sir." Luo Shi nodded quickly, then looked at Aunt Shi, and saw that she nodded towards him, full of encouragement, so Luo Shi was not so panicked.

Originally, Qiu Zhi said that he wanted to make a grand event, and the people invited must be reputable people. Luo Shi was also worried that she, a country woman, would neglect others, but now with the help of the county magistrate's wife, and the guidance of Aunt Shi, She no longer worried.

When Mrs. Qiu saw this, she quickly winked at her daughter-in-law. Mrs. Qiu immediately understood: "There is also me, aunt. I have hosted many such banquets when I was at home. If you need help, just ask me."

But Mr. Qiu didn't expect that the Wen family would value this matter so much, and he was deeply moved.

The last group of people discussed it and decided to host the recognition banquet at their own home. If the men and women were to be separated, the male guests would be entertained at the old house, and the women would be entertained at Wen Xiuyi's own home.

The Wen family is all stupid, and no one has ever held such a banquet. Mr. Chen did have some experience. With Mrs. Qiu adding on the side, he originally wanted to find a yard with beautiful scenery to rent and hold it. Finally, Wen Xiuyi said:

"Although I have the reputation of being a scholar and am now an official, I am actually just a farmer. There is no need to make a big show of showing off to others. I think it's good to just do it at home. Our house is new. Our Gutong Village has beautiful scenery, so what’s the difference?”

The Qiu family looked at each other. This was the first time they had encountered such a thing. It wasn't that Wen Xiuyi didn't value their daughter. After all, if they really didn't value their daughter, they would just put a few things in Zuixian Tower. Isn't the table simpler?

In fact, hosting a banquet at your own home truly reflects the other party's intentions.

"I also think my family is very good." Mrs. Qiu said, and also signaled her son and daughter-in-law to express their feelings, for fear that they would create a gap between the Wen family.

"That's a good idea. I think this way we can better see who is sincere and who is fake." Mr. Qiu also nodded in agreement. Wearing a mask in the mall, he had seen too many hypocrisies, but the Wen family's true temperament made him cherish it more.

Mrs. Qiu had no objection.

Just like that, the matter was settled.

The next day, the Qiu family's father and son took the betrothal gift list to Xie's house and took the original betrothal gift from the Xie family. The things that were no longer available, such as the living things in the betrothal gift, were all broken into cash and thrown away. Xie's doorstep.

If Mrs. Qiu hadn't warned them not to cause trouble at this time, the father and son would have beaten Xie Yushan again.

This matter spread quickly and became a topic of conversation among people in Yunwu Town after dinner. Xie Yushan was so angry that he didn't go out for several days, and Mrs. Xie even cursed the Wen family and Qiu family at home every day.

Immediately afterwards, the news spread around the surrounding area that Wen Xiuyi, who was suddenly promoted to an official, was going to hold a recognition banquet. Not only the well-known families in Yunwu Town, but also the capital city received the news.

County Magistrate Chen is indeed a veteran at manipulating people's hearts. In the first two days, he wrote a few posts and sent them out. The people he invited were all those who had a decent relationship with him. There were not many posts sent out, only about a dozen or so.

And when everyone saw that the banquet was being held in their own house in the village, many people didn't want to go.

No one wants to lower their status and go to a village to attend a village banquet. That would be a loss of face.

Some people responded to the invitation right away, lying that they didn't have time or were conflicted by other things, or they were out.

County Magistrate Chen was not surprised. After waiting for another two days, no one came to return the post, and then he accidentally revealed some gossip. In the end, he didn’t know which family the news came from, saying that Prince Fu also lived in the Wen family. , The relationship with the Wen family is very good.

At this time, the families who had originally planned to give Magistrate Chen a chance to attend the banquet were full of surprises, but they soon understood Magistrate Chen’s intention, and felt very lucky in their hearts. The families who had not yet had time to return the post were more surprised. Fortunately, I was able to observe for a few more days.

Those who returned the posts were not so lucky. They regretted it so much that they came to County Magistrate Chen eagerly to get the posts back. This time, Magistrate Chen refused to give any of them back.

In addition to those who took the initiative to invite, those who were not invited tried their best to get close to County Magistrate Chen after receiving the message. There were also many people who sent gifts to Magistrate Chen's house just to get a post.

During this period, County Magistrate Chen was merciless in accepting gifts.

On the other hand, the county magistrate's wife was very worried, fearing that he would offend Prince Fu and Wen Xiuyi, and they would not be able to get over it.

County Magistrate Chen was very relieved.

He had already reported to Wen Xiuyi and Li Yi who he would invite at the beginning. He had already made it clear which people had what influence. They thought they could use them when promoting new grains in the future. The living person.

If the county magistrate's wife had observed more carefully, she would have discovered that County Magistrate Chen did not post to everyone who came to give gifts or get close to each other.

For the sake of Wen Xiuyi's big pie, he worked hard for people and lost money. He had to get some benefits back, otherwise he would really lose the coffin.

Moreover, County Magistrate Chen also allocated a sum of money directly to Gutong Village with a stroke of his pen to repair the road from the official road to the village. Even the main road in the village was repaired along the way. Arrive at the door of Wen Xiuyi's house.

Wen Xiuyi joked that he was using power for personal gain, but County Magistrate Chen said righteously: The road was built to better transport new grain.

Wen Xiuyi almost believed his righteous words.
