Chapter 58
A table was set up in the hall, and there was no one from the Jiang family, and no one came to pass on the word. When Jiang saw this, he was only wooden. Just because it was Zhu Biyun's good life, no one came to Jiang to say crooked things in front of her and couldn't get along with her.
The close relatives of the Zhu family stayed in Tong'an Zuo near only those houses in Xu County, and they went back after adding makeup that day, only saying that the road was far away, and they didn't come back today. And Hongzhu's second uncle Zhu Guifang's family is not there, and there are not many people on the left and right. It was still the Jiang family who made the decision, and invited several families with good neighbors, plus the Zhu family and the Cheng family, to sit at two tables for men and women. They are such small families, they don't pay much attention to it, so they put both seats in the hall and house, and eat and drink greedily.
Aunt Gu is the guest of honor today, and she is here to be a Quanfu person, in the end, she is considered a guest of honor, and as soon as she shows her face, she is immediately invited to the table by the Jiang family and asks her to sit in the position of the host and guest. Aunt Gu resigned twice but didn't succeed, so she had to sit down with a smile. After gathering people one after another, Li and Hongzhu served the food and started the feast.
Aunt Gu is a talkative, and as soon as she sat down and opened her mouth, she gave a festive congratulatory speech, "Don't blame me for talking too much, I see, Biyun is a blessed person, look at this pomp and circumstance today, what's worse than others?"
Jiang Shi leaned on her and sat down, and just smiled when he heard the words, "Thank you for your good words." ”
Seeing that there were still a few neighbors on the left and right, Mrs. Gu thought about it and said: "If you want me to say, it is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, we who live in the south of the city, are not intimate and affectionate, and still rely on that nonsense to make trouble with this and that? Sister-in-law Zhang, Sister Li, do you think that's the truth?"
The aunt of the Zhang family, who opened the cloth village, saw that Aunt Gu said that she had started, so she also said: "It's not." ”
Aunt Gu said again: "I heard a few words before, but they were all unsightly nonsense. This happy event is a happy event, it is said that a thousand miles of marriage is a thread, it is really doomed, and the old man of the south and the north of the world will also lead the red line!
The people who can be invited by the Zhu family to sit at the banquet are all close, no matter what they think in their hearts, they will not talk about the inappropriateness of this family affair on their faces.
Zhu Guida has opened a shop for so many years, and the response is very good, but at this time, he also lost the sad and depressed state when he gave the wedding, and he saluted the guests one by one with a wine glass at the men's table.
Even Jiang's face was full of joy, and he thanked the neighbors for their help.
At such a time, children are not at the table. Hongzhu and Zhu Zilan helped serve the dishes, and they didn't have time to make that fun. Cheng Wenhan took Zhu Sanbao out to show his face, and soon carried him to the kitchen to eat. Li avoided it as soon as the table opened.
Mrs. Zhu has always been a good wine, and she doesn't need others to respect her, she drank a few more glasses when she was happy, and she became a little drunk after a short time. She looked at this and that, and said with a smile: "My old woman is old, and I am really happy to finally see the happy event of my grandchildren today." Our Zhu family has also lived in Tong'an for seventy or eighty years, but there are only a few of our own families. It's a shame that we are a business person, and we don't know everyone in the south of the city, but we also know everything, and we have almost dealt with it...... Thank you for your help on weekdays......"
Aunt Gu swallowed a few glasses of wine, and there was a little alcohol on her face, so she responded with a smile: "Old lady, whose family doesn't grow slowly on one branch, the old lady doesn't have a brother, it was decades ago." Now the old lady is blessed with children and grandchildren, and if you look at the eyes, isn't this a house full of children and grandchildren? The old lady just sat at home and waited for them to be filial...... It's not that I dare to joke with the old lady, it's really your blessing that is still to come, what is this......"
Mrs. Zhu laughed when she heard this, "Look at this mouth, you can really talk!"
The Zhang family who opened the cloth village joked and said: "The old lady doesn't need to be anxious, today is the happy event of the first granddaughter, and there will be one after another in the future." No, your eldest grandson is sixteen or seventeen, right? This is a good student, and he is handsome, but I have heard about it, and there are many people who ask about it. It's Biyun's brother, right?"
Old Mrs. Zhu took another sip of wine, "He, he's the eldest grandson of the old Zhu family." ”
Zhang smiled, and asked Jiang again: "This sister is married, I don't know when this big brother has been decided, and which one has been decided?"
Jiang looked stunned and didn't answer immediately, but Mrs. Zhu had already spoken: "He's still early, he hasn't decided to marry, don't worry, don't hurry." ”
Zhang's was surprised at this time, she blinked her eyes at Zhu Boxiu, who was accompanying her at the other table, and said with a smile: "Oh, could it be that you really didn't get married......?"
Jiang had no choice but to say: "How can it, he is a man, but he thinks that he is young, and he is studying in the academy, and he is still waiting to give it a try, so he thinks that it will not be too late to kiss in two years." ”
Zhang said: "Sister Jiang, what you said is not right! I know, you want to be good for your son, so that he can have a reputation and talk about his relatives." If you don't know, just say that you don't pity your son, this man is not cared for by his family, he is still a child, where is the heart to be stable, and the ability to go to the imperial examination......"
Jiang Shi couldn't refute it stiffly, but she didn't agree with this, so she just casually echoed: "You are right." He frowned again and smiled lightly: "This child is still in the house, it's hard to talk about it......
If it had changed to the past, Zhang would have apologized as soon as he heard Jiang's words, and he would not say anything. But after a few glasses of wine, Zhang's was a little confused, so he spoke bluntly, and only smiled and said: "Sister Jiang, this is not a bad thing, not to mention that lifelong events are serious, and listening to him a few sentences will also make the child have some plans in his heart...... I don't have a girl in my family, and I don't like to inquire about such things, so I don't know about your brother. Now that I mentioned it, we are not afraid of being divided among our neighbors......" She paused and said with a smile: "I thought that you didn't come out through the words, I'm afraid that you had a plan in your heart, where did you know this question, but no." If you really have anything to help, don't be afraid to open your mouth, and let me be a big matchmaker, if you are not in a hurry, I will feel sorry for my eldest nephew......"
This can be said more and more, and it is not easy for Jiang to stop her in front of so many people.
Aunt Gu, who was still on the side, looked at the situation and persuaded her: "Sister-in-law Zhang, you are really happy to drink this, you call someone else's sister, why did her son become your eldest nephew again?" Okay, okay, I know your heart is hot, if you really want your help, we won't hesitate to open that mouth, you can take advantage of the good days to drink two more glasses......" This said, Aunt Gu poured wine to toast her, and blocked the Zhang family in the end.
Who knew that Zhang didn't speak here, but Aunt Luo next to her smiled and said, "I see, Sister Jiang is really not in a hurry." Sister Zhang, you don't know, I have a nephew who is also in the Xishan Academy, and he has always been in contact with the eldest brother of the Zhu family. A few years ago, he came to my house and told me a new thing, saying that the eldest brother of the Zhu family was a good person, and he was remembered by the old rich man in that part of Xishan, and he wanted to marry his daughter to him......"
This Aunt Luo came with her man, Zhang Dali, and their family opened a small carriage and horse dealership, and there were two or three mules on weekdays. The Zhu family's grocery store has a lot of dealings with them about receiving and delivering goods, and after coming and going, Zhu Guida is familiar with that chapter. And the Jiang family has never dealt with this Aunt Luo on weekdays, I really didn't expect that compared to the Zhang family, this Aunt Luo is really open-mouthed.
Jiang Shi became angry when he heard this, and endured it for a while before saying, "What Sister Luo said, don't be such a random joke." My son is not very good, but if he hears about it, won't he be talking about other people's daughters? ”
Aunt Luo didn't seem to hear what Jiang meant, squeezed her eyes with Jiang, and said with a smile: "Alas, we are not spreading nonsense, our neighbors just say a few words of affection." Sister Jiang, no one blames you if you don't open your mouth if the matter is not decided, but if you say that your son's affairs are gone, doesn't this make Sister Zhang poor and enthusiastic, she doesn't have a daughter in her family, but this niece and niece also have it. This matchmaker can't go on a short trip......"
Aunt Gu saw that it was not a problem, so she hurriedly stopped her again, "Oh, Sister Jiang's own son, she knows it in her heart." I don't think Sister Luo is you kind, what are you doing talking about other people's young descendants? Do you want someone to come over and toast you?"
As soon as he said this, he laughed at the table, some of them followed the coaxing to make fun of Aunt Luo, and some of them helped Aunt Luo to make fun of Aunt Gu, and they also fooled things over for a while.
Aunt Luo looked at Jiang's face, looked at Aunt Gu's face again, smiled, and suddenly said again: "Don't talk nonsense to me! That old rich man's family is still a little close to me, I really know about this." Sister Jiang, your eldest son's leg injury has been recuperating for more than a month, right?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone knew that Aunt Luo was afraid that she was prepared this time.
