Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity
Chapter 259 Meeting
The youngest son of the old Lu family was an honest man. Seeing that no one came to pick up his three children, he planned to send them directly in and wait until he met the people from the Sheng family's old house before leaving.
"Thank you for your help, Xiaowu." Zhang said with a smile.
The third eldest son of the Lu family was named Lu Wu. He was not very old, only seventeen years old, but he was very mature. During this journey, thanks to his care, the three of them were very grateful to him.
A few people walked towards the gate, and saw two people hurriedly coming out of the gate, "Aunt San, you are here."
It turned out to be Sheng Hong and his wife Xu who came out to greet them. Pang Xiu'e's family had left earlier than them, so Zhang asked them to tell the old man that they would be here this year.
After everyone greeted each other, Sheng Hong and Xu led Zhang's mother and others inside.
"Aunt San, let's go home quickly... We are waiting for you now. You don't know, my grandfather and grandmother have been so anxious these two days that they are very angry... They are afraid that you will not make it." Xu said with a smile.
Because time is too tight, tomorrow is Chunhua's wedding day.
Sheng Hong and Xu both saw Lu Wu, but neither of them greeted him, nor did they even think of reaching out to take the bag from Lu Wu.
It seems that the old man and the old lady are used to it. They regard Lu Wu, who is dressed in simple court clothes, as a servant. After all, Sheng Xuan is now an eighth-rank agricultural official, and it is normal for Xiao Lan's family to have a servant.
Xiao Lan tugged at the corner of Zhang's clothes.
Zhang immediately understood. "Brother Hong, Brother Hong's wife," Zhang introduced Lu Wu to the couple. "This is Lu Wu from the Lu family in our town. We are very grateful for his care on the way here."
What Zhang said was very clear. She wanted Sheng Hong and Xu to treat Lu Wu with the courtesy of entertaining guests.
"Oh." Sheng Hong then greeted Lu Wu, but did not want to reach out to take the bag from him.
Xu was a perceptive person. Seeing that Zhang was already a little unhappy, she secretly pinched Sheng Hong. After all, Zhang was now an eighth-rank official's wife, and she was on an equal footing with her mother-in-law. Sheng Hong then reluctantly extended his hand to Lu Wu.
"It's okay. This bag isn't heavy. Let me take it." Lu Wu said, "Aunt, I'll help you carry it in."
The group continued walking inside. The county government office of Hejian County was the same as all the official residences, with the office in front and the residence in the back.
"This is the lobby." Xu pointed into the ceremonial gate and said quietly.
Xiao Lan looked inside and saw that it was a solemn lobby. Outside, there were several people dressed as yamen runners sitting or standing. As it was noon, the magistrate must have known that he needed to rest, which was why these people were so casual.
Sheng Nuo is the county magistrate, an eighth-rank official, and his government office should not be here. After walking a little further in, we arrived at an independent courtyard.
This should be where the county magistrate works and lives. Xiao Lan estimated that there are two entrances to the courtyard. The first entrance has three houses, and the two sides should be where Sheng Nuo works. After passing through the screen wall, you will reach the inner house, which is where Mr. Sheng and his family live.
Xiao Lan observed as she walked, looking around the small courtyard. There were three upper rooms in the courtyard, and three side rooms on each side. There was smoke coming out of the roof of a room in the west wing, and the smell of rice wafted out, so it must be the kitchen.
The yard is paved with blue bricks and surrounded by trees. It is spring now and the trees have just sprouted, so it looks quite lively.
Overall, the small courtyard is quite tidy and clean.
When you walk to the patio, you can hear laughter coming from the upper room.
Xu took two quick steps forward, deliberately raised her voice, and shouted to the people in the upper room, "My third aunt from Shengjia Village is here."
The laughter in the upper room stopped immediately. After a while, Wang came out with Daya, and Shen came out with Xiaoliang and Xiaocao.
Zhang brought Xiaolan and Xiaowen forward and greeted everyone.
Seeing this, Lu Wu knew that he had definitely delivered the package to the right place, so he handed the package to Xiaowen.
"Aunt, now that you've arrived, I'll leave first... I'll come pick you up on that day. I'm staying at the Old Sun's Inn in the north city. If you have any questions in the next two days, please send someone to find me."
His team still had to go to the nearby counties, but the destination of their return was decided to be the Old Sun Inn in the north city. Lu Wu would stay there for the next two days, and when he returned, he would just pick up Zhang. Of course, Xiao Lan had already informed him of this on the way, and asked him to take the carriage with him for easy care.
"Okay." Zhang nodded.
Wang called a servant over and sent Lu Wu out.
Obviously, when Lu Wu was talking to Zhang just now, Xu told Wang about Lu Wu's identity. I have to say that Wang was a very nice person when doing things.
"Come in quickly," Wang asked Zhang and the others to go upstairs. "The old man and the old lady have been talking about you since early this morning."
As Wang led the others to the upper room, she muttered, "The child's aunt got here before you..."
Just now, when Xu was leading Zhang and the other two, she told this to her third mother.
There are three rooms in the upper room. The middle one is the main room, which is used for entertaining guests. The room on the east side is occupied by Mr. Sheng, Cui and Chunhua. The room on the west side is occupied by Sheng Nuo and Wang.
Wang brought Zhang's third son into the east room.
After entering the house and walking around a screen, there is a large kang by the window, which is almost full of people.
Old Master Sheng and Mrs. Cui were both sitting on the kang, with Chunhua on Cui's left, Lanhua on her right, and next to Lanhua sitting their daughter Xiaoyin.
Zhang quickly brought Xiaolan and Xiaowen to pay their respects to the old man and Cui.
"Hurry up, hurry up..." Old Master Sheng called out, "Hurry up and sit on the kang. You must be freezing all the way. It's spring now, but it's still so cold..."
At the beginning of spring, the weather is the most changeable, with sudden changes from hot to cold, which is the most annoying.
Wang and Shen also quickly asked Zhang and the others to move to the kang. Xiaowen took off his shoes first and sat in front of Mr. Sheng.
"Oh, look at my Xiaowen, he has grown a lot taller..." Grandpa Sheng stroked Xiaowen's arm and smiled from ear to ear, "I and your grandma miss you every day at home... My grandson is amazing, he is already a virgin at such a young age..."
"Grandpa, I miss you at home too...and my grandma, my dad, my mom, my eldest sister, and my second sister, I miss you all so much..." Xiao Wen said.
