Chapter 1307 Playing with Prestige
The youngest son of the Wang family whispered: "I heard that Mr. Xiao will be promoted soon after returning to Beijing, but he is really young and promising."
The elder brother of the Wang family, who was weaving a basket by the side, said, "I heard people say that Master Xiao's credit this time is not only one level, but maybe three levels in a row."
When Mrs. Wang heard the words of her two sons, she stopped what she was doing for a while, and her mind suddenly became active.
Putting down the work in his hand, he went out the door.

When Xiao Chenrui arrived with Song Lizheng, Song Lizheng's family had already prepared a table of farm dishes.
Song Lizheng led people to the main hall: "Master Xiao, the food at home is rough, you must not dislike it."
Xiao Chenrui looked at the dishes on the table, waved his hands and said, "Whatever Song Lizheng said, the dishes on this table look good, and you will spend money."
After the greeting, Song Lizheng called his two sons over to accompany the wine. The man just sat down when he heard someone from outside the hospital come in.
Song Lizheng heard the movement, got up and looked out the door, this time, the patriarch and several elders entered the courtyard together.
It's not that Song Lizheng didn't think about inviting the patriarch and the elders before, but the patriarch's prestige and prestige made Lord Xiao very unhappy. If he invited the patriarch, he would be unhappy with Lord Xiao.
But if I didn't invite the patriarch, I just invited the patriarch to come, and I was afraid that the patriarch would have an opinion. After thinking about it, I would simply not invite anyone, thinking that the patriarch and the patriarch would understand if they knew.
But it never occurred to me that people would come uninvited.
Song Lizheng had to explain to Xiao Chenrui first: "Master Xiao, the patriarch and elders of the Song family are here, do you see?"
The reason why Xiao Chenrui gave Song Li a good face was that when he first came to camp here, Song Lizheng helped him a lot, and secondly, he knew that Song Lizheng was an honest person.
He didn't want to spend a meal with compliments: "I'm happy, let them go back."
Song Lizheng knew this was the result for a long time, so he had to accuse him: "The adults eat first, and the young ones will send people away."
After Song Lizheng finished speaking, he stepped out and walked out: "Patriarch, several patriarchs, who are you?"
Relying on his old age, the patriarch leaned on the old and betrayed the old man and said, "Why didn't you tell the clan when you invited Master Xiao to dinner at home?"
Song Lizheng was also annoyed by his words: "Why should I tell the clan when I invited Master Xiao to dinner at home?"
The patriarch felt that Song Lizheng didn't give him face, so he raised his finger angrily and pointed at Song Lizheng and said, "This is Xili Village, the clan land of my Song family. Why did you tell the clan?"
Song Lizheng was afraid that Lord Xiao in the room heard this, so he whispered angrily: "The Song clan is not also the territory of the imperial court, patriarch, are you trying to show prestige in front of Lord Xiao again?"
The patriarchs behind the patriarch hurriedly said, "We came here for no other purpose, we just wanted to accompany Mr. Xiao for a drink and make amends."
The voices outside could be heard clearly in the room, Xiao Chenrui was a little annoyed, got up and went to the door: "Everyone, please go back, I have finished my errands here, and I went to Lizheng's house for dinner today, just because I have a good personal relationship. That's it, it has nothing to do with Xili Village."
As soon as these words came out, it was equivalent to hitting the patriarch and the patriarchs in the face, which made everyone in the courtyard look ugly.
They came here only after receiving a letter from the wife of the Wang family next door.
But I didn't expect that Master Xiao would say so, it's not okay to let them go, it's not okay to stay, it's extremely embarrassing to stand in the courtyard.
