Jiang Youguang's face turned red and blue: "I am your elder."

"Master Xiucai, you'd better think it over," Jiang Ming reminded, "For the sake of your official career, you'd better not mention the relationship between our two families. It's not a good name to abuse the legitimate son. Hey, don't point at me. I'm not talking about you. You just ignored and condoned it, which is not a small accusation."

Jiang Youguang was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick: "You are so bold."

Jiang Ming chuckled and asked humbly: "Master Jiang has passed the examination for a scholar, but I wonder when he will pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi? Master Jiang has not even put on his official robes yet, so isn't it too early for him to show off his power?"

"Oops, I forgot to tell you guys—"

Jiang Ming turned to the crowd and said, "Our Third Master Jiang passed the imperial examination and did not need to kneel when he saw our county magistrate."

The crowd suddenly realized that Jiang Youguang did not have to kneel before the official, but he had no right to make others kneel before him.

Jiang Youguang's face darkened.

Jiang Ming humbly asked, "I heard that our new county magistrate, Lord Zhai, is less than 20 years old. I wonder if he is a Jinshi?"

Jiang Youguang looked unhappy. He was already in his twenties before he passed the examination for a scholar. Although this was already good compared to most people, it was still... a Jinshi, which was out of reach. If Lord Zhai had not donated money to become an official, he would have been a Jinshi. So young...

Jiang Changguang was ashamed and said sullenly: "We are just here to visit. Since your family doesn't care about us, we will just leave."

Liu didn't understand what was going on, and she limped away with the support of Jiang Youguang.

Old Man Jiang glanced at Jiang Youshan who was still confused, shook his head and walked away.

Jiang Youcai's family, who followed behind, also left in shame.

It was a joke, and all four of Jiang Youshun's brothers and sisters saw it. Jiang Youshun whispered to his brothers and sisters, "No wonder our father didn't count on Uncle Erlang. He showed off after passing the imperial examination. Who dares to get close to him?"

Jiang Changli snorted, "This guy has two sides. Look at how proud he was when he first arrived. If Jiang Ming hadn't suppressed him, he could have made Jiang Ming's family kowtow to him. But now, he immediately turned his face and denied it, as if his kindness was misunderstood by others?"

Jiang Zhi's eyes were filled with worry: "Brother, do you think Third Uncle will treat our family like this in the future?"

The brothers scowled.

Jiang Lei rolled his eyes, "Why are you afraid of him? Just beat him up."

The brothers were speechless... Is this definitely not another Jiang Yue? So violent.

Jiang Changhe actually agreed: "Let's go together."

The brothers were even more speechless.

Jiang Ming came over and called out, "Don't just stand there, come and serve the food, do you still want to eat?"

Jiang Changli was so angry at the arrogant look that he ran over and muttered, "I really want to beat you up!"

Jiang Ming just smiled and said, "Can you beat him?"

The banquet ended in a hectic atmosphere. Jiang Ming had reserved some food for Jiang Changshun and his three brothers early in the morning. After they had eaten their fill, they returned home with full stomachs.

Many villagers selected wasteland that day and helped to reclaim it.

Jiang Ming was calm in front of others, but once everything was settled at home and the door was closed, his expression changed and he cursed fiercely: "Why is he so arrogant!"

Jiang Youshan and Cai were shocked. It seemed that he had been holding back his anger.

Jiang Xue comforted him, "Brother, don't be angry. He took more than ten years to pass the exam and became a scholar. If you don't let him show off, he will go crazy."

Jiang Lei continued, "Just think of it as a mad dog coming to our house. Don't get angry."

Jiang Lei felt better and said bitterly, "If he becomes rich, he will be the first to target our family."

Jiang Yue nodded, Jiang Youguang was definitely such a person.

Jiang Youshan advised: "He just came here to show off, it's nothing."

The children were helpless because in the eyes of their parents, there were no bad people.

Jiang Yue thought: It’s time for her to hug someone’s thigh.

Thinking of this, the "big brother" came to the door automatically.

A carriage slowly stopped at her doorstep.

Two servants stood beside the carriage.

Zhai Qingya, dressed in a dark and clear robe, walked leisurely into the gate of Jiang's house.

He looked noble, but spoke gently: "Unfortunately, I missed your feast?"

His voice is beautiful and gripping.

The villagers who were choosing wasteland behind were stunned.

"Lord Zhai?"

Jiang Yue didn't believe that this person came to her house just to eat.

Zhai Qingya's eyes moved. I can't understand the people's feelings?

Jiang Ming was a little stunned. Was this the county magistrate he had just mentioned?

Jiang Youshan was startled. Is this the new county magistrate? He was about to kneel down with his wife and children.

Zhai Qingya waved his hands hastily: "You are not wearing an official robe, so there is no need to be polite. Just go about your business."

Jiang Youshan wiped his sweat off his forehead. He was indeed busy. The villagers were waiting for him to confirm the wasteland. If a family had a good idea of ​​an acre of wasteland, they had to let Youshan record it, so that they would not be confused later.

Jiang Ming's expression tightened, and he bowed and said, "I wonder what instructions the county magistrate has for visiting my humble abode?"

Zhai Qingya said politely: "Today I am not the county magistrate, I am here to visit an old friend and thank your little sister for saving my life."

After saying that, two servants brought in the gifts.

Jiang Youshan raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Yue. His daughter looked normal, and his panicked heart calmed down a little.

Jiang Ming breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he was looking for his eldest sister, but when had his eldest sister ever met the county magistrate?

Zhai Qingya sniffed the air and asked, "Did you just set up a banquet?"

Jiang Youshan smiled innocently: "I just bought some wasteland, and I want to ask the villagers to help me open it up."

Zhai Qingya clasped his fists and said, "I am sorry for disturbing you so much by coming so suddenly."

Jiang Youshan replied awkwardly, "Not abrupt, not abrupt."

Zhai Qingya smiled, looked at the simple big tiled house in front of him, and nodded unconsciously.

The corners of Jiang Yue's mouth twitched. He really came to beg for food?

After entering the hall, Jiang Youshan hurriedly asked Master Zhai and the servant to sit down. Cai made tea and poured water. She was glad that her daughter had bought a set of white porcelain teapots and teacups. It would not be rude to have a distinguished guest come to visit.

Zhai Qingya picked up the teacup and took a look. "Chrysanthemum tea?"

Cai said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I don't have any tea leaves at home. The wild chrysanthemums are in full bloom right now, so I usually drink this. It tastes good with sugar. If you're not used to it, I'll ask her to buy a bag of tea leaves tomorrow."

Zhai Qingya drank the tea in the cup in one gulp: "Don't bother, this is good stuff, it can clear your heat, the tea made by my aunt is delicious."

Cai was flattered. The county magistrate was very polite and even called her aunt.

Cai looked up at the sky and said, "My girl, should we invite Master Zhai to have dinner?"

We have all the delicious food at home, including meat, eggs, and chicken. We just need to go to the village to buy some vegetables and ask the children to get a pot of wine.

Jiang Xue took the money from Cai and took Jiang Lei to buy wine and food. On the way, they met the villagers who asked about it. Jiang Xue just told the truth that the noble man came to thank her sister.

Cai made fried crispy meat, stewed spareribs, stewed chicken with chestnuts, chive egg pancakes, stir-fried vegetables, braised eggplant, mushroom soup, six dishes and one soup, and rolled noodles. Compared with the lunch, it was not very rich, but it was comparable to the New Year's Eve dinner.

Zhai Qingya hadn't eaten country game for a long time. He enjoyed the meal very much and kept praising Cai's cooking skills.

Cai was pleasantly surprised. She thought the county magistrate was so approachable.

During this time, Jiang Yue was like an invisible person. It was really too weird. How could a county magistrate be so idle? He drank and talked about farming with his father, praised his mother's craftsmanship, talked about knowledge with his brother, and finally played slingshot with Jiang Lei?

Isn't this obviously an attempt to please her family? What's the plan?
