After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

After Xiao Qingshan heard what Mingjia told him, he stood up suddenly and was about to walk out. When Mingjia saw this, he shouted in his heart: It's broken!

Mingjia swooped down from the couch and hugged her father's thigh: "Dad, what are you doing?"

"I'll go find Lieutenant Shixian! This matter has to be resolved through Lieutenant Shixian." Xiao Qingshan patiently explained to his little daughter that the root cause of this matter lies with Lieutenant Shixian.

When Mingjia heard that his father immediately understood the core issue of the matter, it would be easy to handle. Ming Jia quickly stood up: "Dad, my daughter has an idea, but I don't know if dad wants to cooperate?"

Xiao Qingshan looked at his daughter smiling sweetly at him, and he didn't know why Xiao Qingshan felt a chill in his back. Xiao Qingshan picked up his daughter and put her back on the couch. He also sat aside, as if he was listening attentively.

On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Magistrate Xiao rented out an entire restaurant and hosted a banquet for all the county government officials, merchants and family heads who performed well in the Lantern Festival.

The only restaurant in Qu County, several private rooms on the second floor have been opened. There are only two private rooms reserved. In one of them, Mr. Dong leads all the officials and their family members and the matrons of each family.

Mingjia followed Dong and looked at the women on the table, either complimenting each other or making sarcastic remarks. It was so lively!

Next door is Xiao Qingshan's private room. The two private rooms are only separated by a movable wooden partition. Apart from not being able to see them directly, it doesn't affect chatting with each other at all.

Although Xiao Qingshan doesn't drink, he keeps walking around with a tea cup to toast. Mainly a person who is warm and hospitable, not accompanying.

Finally, after three rounds of drinking, Xiao Qingshan saw that the atmosphere was already very lively. He took Cheng Si back to the private room reserved for officials and watched Lieutenant Shi having a lively chat with several family heads, almost calling themselves brothers.

Xiao Qingshan sat back on the main seat and gently tapped the table with his tea cup. He waited until everyone at the wine table calmed down and looked at him before stopping. Dong's side has been quiet since he discovered that the private room was not soundproof at all.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Xiao Qingshan quickly showed a naive smile, pointed at the family heads who had just chatted with Shixian Wei and said: "Family heads, don't just talk about being close to Shixian Wei, you also have to show your words. Be sincere!"

Lieutenant Shixian and several of the named family heads looked at each other in confusion. Mr. Xiao didn’t drink either! I have already started talking nonsense! Is this an obvious bribe?

Seeing that everyone didn't understand, Xiao Qingshan continued: "A few days ago, Mr. Shi's wife went to my backyard to care about the few children in my family, and persuaded my wife to give me a few rooms for concubines."

After saying that, Xiao Qingshan glanced at the faces of everyone at the wine table and continued: "My Xiao family has ancestral rules that you can only take a concubine when you are over 40 and have no children. But I am very grateful to Shixian Lieutenant for his concern for me."

As he spoke, he patted his chest, looking touched. "I just wanted to care about my subordinates. I saw that Lord Shi and the youngest child are all 9 years old. There hasn't been a new member in Lord Shi's family for a long time!"

Xiao Qingshan slammed the table suddenly and pointed at the family heads: "You are all from Qu County, and you are all familiar with them. Hurry up and introduce two good fertility ministers to Lord Shishi."

Then he turned around and looked at Lord Shi with a rude expression on his face: "Master Shi already has a room for concubines in his family. There must be no ancestral rules against taking concubines in his family." Finally, he patted Lieutenant Shi on the shoulder.

The restaurant was quiet for a while. The sound of Xiao Qingshan banging the table was so loud that the government officials sitting on the first floor drinking heard it.

Mrs. Dong was originally very confused as to why the county government had to include all the female relatives in the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival celebration banquet. At this moment, Mr. Dong lowered his head and counted the balls in his bowl, hmm! After counting several times, there are still 2 meatballs, which are quite round.

At the next table, Shen Xian Cheng was holding a wine glass to his face, and he said that this celebration banquet was very strange. It turned out that he was waiting here, and he was working with Shi Xianwei during this period. He admired Shi Xianwei's ability very much.

The reaction of Lieutenant Shi Xian just now didn't look like he was completely unaware. Shen Xiancheng guessed that Mrs. Shi had taken the initiative to discuss it with Shi Xianwei. Otherwise, Shi Xianwei probably didn't agree, or felt that it was not the right time.

It was probably Mrs. Shi who secretly went to Mrs. Xiao to tell her. Unexpectedly, Master Shi's wife was a hindrance. I've only been here a few days and haven't figured out anything yet, so I dare to provoke Mr. Xiao's wife.

Shen Xiancheng secretly observed the people at the table, and suddenly his eyes met Xie Boyuan's. I saw Xie Boyuan also holding a small wine glass. After looking at him, he suddenly raised the wine glass in his hand slightly.

Shen Xiancheng was stunned for a moment and then raised the wine glass in his hand. The two had a glass of wine in the air, and then both drank it. After putting down his wine glass, Shen Xiancheng was a little confused.

The whole room was quiet, and Xiao Qingshan was not embarrassed. After saying what he wanted to say, he sat down again and picked up his chopsticks to eat. He also didn’t forget to ask Xie Boyuan to eat the food quickly: “Master Yuan, it won’t hurt your stomach to eat some food and then drink some wine.”

Patriarch Huang and Patriarch Zhao looked at each other. They were both sitting on their seats without moving at all. Yesterday, the scribes from each family went home and only said that they should not have any casual friendship at the wine table today.

Originally, the two heads of the family thought that the conflict between Mr. Xiao and Shen Xiancheng was due to government affairs, but they did not expect that it was because of the backyard problem. He is still the captain of Heshi County, which is very interesting.

Normally, the county magistrate is a civil official, and the county captain is a partial military officer. There is no competition or substitution, and there will generally be no conflicts.

Mr. Huang and Mr. Li didn't believe that Mr. Xiao was standing up for Mrs. Xiao. They estimated that the problem lay with the concubine who was about to be brought in. After all, no one wanted to have a woman sent by other colleagues in their backyard.

Mrs. Dong heard the sound of conversation slowly resumed next door, and she also stopped counting meatballs at this moment.

He picked up the tea cup and said softly: "I have poor health and have been taking medicine recently. I will use tea instead of wine to toast you. If there are any gatherings or interesting things in the future, don't forget to leave me a post so that I can get involved." Feeling happy."

Madam Huang, Madam Zhao, and Madam Zhou all quickly picked up their wine glasses and joked that they would bother Mrs. Xiao more in the future. For a time, the table of female relatives also became lively, and no one paid attention to Mrs. Shi's expression.

Finally, except for Mr. and Mrs. Shi Xianwei, all the guests and hosts left happily. For a while, there were several carriages in front of the restaurant, which was a bit crowded. The Xiao family's carriage was at the end and could not get through for a while.

Thinking that the restaurant was not far from the county government office, Mrs. Dong was so happy that she ate a lot today. It was suggested that we should not wait for the carriage, and the family of four walked back slowly.

Mingjun and Mingjia also agreed to walk back together, so Xiao Qingshan held Mingjun's hand and Dong's hand, and Mingjia held his mother's other hand, and the family of four walked back to the county office together.

Everyone who leaves in a carriage will pass by the four Xiao family members. I don’t know how many people sit in the carriage and secretly lift the curtains to peek.

Xie Boyuan followed Lao Lu from a distance. Looking at the backs of the Xiao family, he envied Xiao Qingshan.
