Pei County Lu Family.
Pei County's county captain and a group of county officials gathered at the Lu family's residence, their expressions excited.
After Xiao He left, Old Master Lu was bedridden for seven days. The two sons of the Lu family found the elders of the Pei County to matchmake the two young ladies of the Lu family.
Pei County's county captain and elders naturally didn't dare to be negligent and immediately went to Pei County to find a son-in-law for the Lu family.
There were actually four or five Pei County families who wanted to get into the Lu family's marriage.
When the Lyu Clan was preparing to find a marriage for Lyu Zhi and Lyu Wei, the chief justice of Xianyang City arrived at Pei County and delivered Xiao He's letter to the county chief.
The county captain of Pei County didn't dare to be negligent and prepared a banquet for the messenger. During the banquet, the messenger told the officials of Pei County in detail about what happened after Xiao He entered Xianyang.
When these people heard that Xiao He had won the favor of the chief justice, they burst into tears of joy.
To be able to gain the trust of the nine ministers, this meant that Xiao He was about to soar!
This was not only Xiao He's honor, but also the honor of Pei County's Rong Yao. The county captain of Pei County held a banquet and invited the famous clan leader of Pei County to attend. At the same time, they also invited Xiao He's family to the banquet.
Normally, women were not allowed to sit at the banquet. However, Xiao He's women were not treated equally. In order to get close to Xiao He, the county captain of Pei County invited Xiao He's wife to sit on the seat of honor. Xiao He's son was also given gold, silver, jade, and longevity locks by the chief of Pei County.
Xiao He was no longer the Xiao He of the past.
Naturally, the Lu family was also invited. Old Master Lu was originally unwell, but when he heard that Xiao He had sent someone to deliver the letter, he immediately perked up and his gloomy expression completely disappeared.
In the banquet, the messenger of the Supreme Court from Xianyang was sitting in the main seat and talking about how the supreme court valued Xiao He. After Xiao He entered Xianyang, the supreme court received him and rewarded him with a grand mansion.
This time, the messenger had come under Xiao He's instructions to report the safety of Pei County's elders.
At the banquet, Xiao He's wife asked,""My husband must have lost weight."
"Madam, don't worry. Lord Xiao is full of success. Not only did he not lose weight, but he also looked more energetic. If you see Lord Xiao now, it would be different.”
The county officials who attended the banquet all showed their admiration.
Xiao He's wife was not a knowledgeable person. She asked softly,"What's the chief justice like? What kind of official are you in Xianyang?"
As soon as Madam Xiao He finished speaking, the sound of toasting disappeared. Everyone looked at Madam Xiao He with worry.
For a moment, the messenger who came to Xianyang didn't know how to answer.
As Mrs. Xiao He had not seen the world, she didn't know what the chief justice was; however, they knew it!
The highest official she had ever seen in her life was the county captain sitting at a banquet. All this while, she had never dared to look the county captain in the eye.
Of course, she didn't know that the dean of the Supreme Court was one of the top officials in the world.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Madam Xiao He asked again,"The chief justice must be a high-ranking official like the county chief!”
As soon as Madam Xiao He finished speaking, the county captain at the banquet was so frightened that the wine glass in his hand fell. The county captain stood up and stammered with a trembling voice,"Sir, please don't blame me! Please don't blame me, my lord. This country woman has never seen the world, and this lowly one has never taught her this…"
The county captain stood up and stumbled to his knees. He felt like he had fallen into hell. When did he dare to treat himself as one of the nine ministers?
Wouldn't this bring him a huge disaster?
If these words were to spread to Xianyang, it would be a great crime to exterminate the entire family!
Madam Xiao He also realized that she had said something wrong. She quickly got up and knelt on the ground."I haven't seen the world. Please spare my life, my lords. Please don't blame me…"
At this moment, the county captain was very regretful. If he knew that she would say such words, he would never have invited her over.
At this moment, the messenger's expression also changed drastically, and his mood was perturbed.
"I…I'm just a humble messenger. I dare not admire the elegant demeanour of the chief justice of the Supreme Court. Madam, don't say such words again. Otherwise, you will bring disaster to your husband!”
The messenger was also frightened by Madam Xiao He's words.
'I'm afraid that only she dares to compare the chief justice of Tang Tang to a petty officer like a county captain…'
"I don't want to drink anymore. Sirs, let's have some wine.”
Madam Xiao He knew that she was not suitable for such a scene, so she pulled her son out. After the county captain apologized to the messenger, he sent Madam Xiao He out of the Lu residence. When she was outside, the county captain was angry, angry, and afraid.
If it was anyone else, he would have whipped her long ago. However, this lady was Xiao He's wife, so he couldn't beat her or say anything.
"Mrs. Xiao, honestly, I'm just a trivial official. The chief justice is a high-ranking official! If the chief justice wanted to punish him! In the eyes of the chief justice, the entire Pei County was like an ant!”
"If my words are not clear enough, then let me be more straightforward. If you say such words again and others hear it, not only will my family be confiscated and my nine generations destroyed, but you and your husband will also die!”
Madam Xiao He was shocked.
Not until then did she know what mistake she had made by comparing the chief justice of the Supreme Court to the county chief.
Madam Xiao He left in a panic.
When Pei County's county captain returned to the banquet, his legs were also weak. He hoped that today's matter would not be spread out. Otherwise, he would be in big trouble.
……
After Madam Xiao He left, the banquet continued.
The messenger took out a letter and said,""Who is the Lu Family Patriarch? Before I left, Lord Xiao instructed me to bring a letter to the Lu Family!”
Old Master Lu was overjoyed. He stood up shakily and said,"I, I am the Lu Family Patriarch."
"Yes! This is the letter Lord Xiao asked me to bring you.”
The messenger took out a waxed bamboo slip from his backpack and handed it to Master Lu.
Master Lu was very excited. He had entrusted his two daughters 'marriage to Xiao He when he went to Xianyang. Now that Xiao He had sent a message back, how could he not be excited?
After Master Lu received the bamboo slips, the others also looked at Master Lu. They also wanted to know what Xiao He had written in the letter to Master Lu.
Old Master Lu opened the letter excitedly and saw a few short sentences on it.
The general idea was that Xiao He had already found a talented person for Master Lu in Xianyang. This person was twenty-four years old and worked together with Xiao He. He was not married!
After reading the letter, Old Master Lu was overjoyed and in high spirits.
"Good! Good! Alright! I knew Lord Xiao would never forget about this old man!”
The county officials and Pei County elders were curious. One of them asked,""Elder Lu, what good news do you have?"
"Aiya, don't I have two daughters waiting to be married? When Lord Xiao left, I asked Lord Xiao to find a son-in-law for me in Xianyang. Now, Lord Xiao has settled the matter for me. He said that he has found a good husband for my two daughters to work with Lord Xiao!”
Old Master Lu said in high spirits. The husband that Xiao He had chosen for him was definitely a first-class talent. Moreover, he worked with Lord Xiao, so he must be a high-ranking official!
