The banquet began, and Shen Chengguang wanted to sit at Li Zhewei's table, but there were already nine people sitting at that table, Dr. Luo, Shopkeeper Yao, Steward Tong, Manager Chen, Fu Bo, Village Chief, Shen Zixuan, Mei Zhijie and Li Zhewei, and the remaining seat was obviously for the host's Shen Chengyao to sit on.

Shen Chengguang didn't understand this truth, but he wanted to make friends with Li Zhewei, and thought that as long as he had a relationship with Li Gongzi, Li Gongzi's grandfather was the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, if he had a friendship with Li Gongzi, and even more so if Bao'er could marry into the Li family, in the future, Wen'er would be promoted and find a good official position was not a matter of people's words. This is a major event of the prosperous family, and all the people in the family have always put this matter first, thinking of this, Shen Chengguang sat down.

The people at the table were chatting and talking, waiting for Shen Chengyao to sit down and then open the table, but when they saw Shen Chengguang sitting down, they all paused and didn't speak again.

"Li Gongzi ......" Shen Chengguang opened his mouth with a smiling face and wanted to talk to Li Zhewei.

"Who are you? This is reserved for the master's family to sit!" Li Zhewei has never had a good face for people who always flatter him in front of him, but today he is here to have a wedding banquet, this is Uncle Shen's house, this is his eldest brother, it makes it ugly Uncle Shen's face is not good-looking, he can't be too much, but this person is too rude, too shameless, even a person can see that this seat is reserved for the master's family to sit.

Shen Chengguang's face stiffened, they had all seen each other just now, but it was okay, the noble man was so forgetful, he was ready to introduce himself again.

"Big brother, why are you still here, Dad is looking for you!" Shen Chengyao returned to his seat after arranging things, and found Shen Chengguang sitting in his place, so he could only remind him euphemistically.

"Is there anything Dad looking for me?" Shen Chengguang raised his head and said dissatisfied, really, didn't you see him talking to Li Gongzi!

"I don't know, you can go and take a look!" Shen Chengyao was also a little dissatisfied with this big brother because of Yun'er's matter, and now it is even worse. What is the matter, you said that you sat in my place, and I kindly reminded you to leave, and you were still too lazy not to leave, what is this! If you really open your mouth to drive him away, you will also have a reputation as disrespectful to your brother, and if you don't let him go, you can't end up well, and others will definitely think that you are a second-class person, and you can't sit at the chairman's table at the banquet at your own house.

Shopkeeper Yao was really angry with Shen Chengguang, and he didn't reassure his younger brother, he said unceremoniously: "Brother Shen, your father is looking for you, but you don't go, this is a big unfilial piety." ”

Shen Chengguang was unhappy when he heard this, who is this person, he is the oldest, and he dares to take care of his own affairs!

"I said who are you...... "What are you meddling in here!"

Before he could say the second half of the sentence, Shen Chengzu hurried over and pulled Shen Chengguang up: "Big brother, Dad is waiting for you over there, saying that someone is looking for you, go and take a look!"

Shen Chengzu has worked all year round, and his strength is much greater than Shen Chengguang, so he pulled Shen Chengguang up from his seat and took him out.

After Shen Chengyao sat down, everyone didn't mention what happened just now, and then they were quickly attracted by the food on the table, the dishes on the table had been prepared very richly, but they were still swept away, causing Shen Chengyao to worry about whether he had prepared too few dishes!

He looked around and found that many people were sitting in their seats burping, admiring the deliciousness of the food, and then he was relieved: it was so delicious that he had eaten it all.

"Brother Shen, which chef is invited to your family's banquet, this dish is even better than the county's Taste Xuan!"

"It's the chef from the town's restaurant. ”

"It's not about cooking, it's about the food. "He didn't eat a dish with enough heat, and the seasoning combination was not the best, but it was better than what he had ever eaten! This shows that the ingredients themselves are good enough and fresh enough.

In the afternoon, the guests said goodbye one by one.

Li Zhewei couldn't stay in the end, he was entangled by his little servant and sister, and he had to go back and tell his wife if he said anything, and wait for his wife to agree.

In the evening, the family counts today's gifts.

Shangguan Xuanyi sent two jade mountains, three boxes of lake pens, one end of the inkstone, one end of the Helan inkstone, one end of the Chengni inkstone, a box of Longjing before the Ming Dynasty, an embroidered screen sent by a hundred sons, two pieces of makeup satin, and two horses of Shu brocade. There is also a pot of peonies in full bloom.

Di Zhaowei sent a set of white jade tea sets, a set of blue and white porcelain tableware, a pair of lion rolling hydrangea porcelain vases, a set of rich embroidered screens, two brocades, and two brocades.

Li Zhewei sent a jade ornament, four silk satins, and three sets of high-quality pen, ink, paper, and inkstones.

Meijijie sent, a pair of blue and white jade pot spring vases, the same three sets of fine pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

There are also gifts from Fu Bo, Shopkeeper Yao, Manager Tong, Manager Chen, the village head, other relatives and friends and villagers, Xiao'er is registered one by one to facilitate future exchanges.

When ordering Li Zhewei's congratulatory gift, Liu remembered what she heard, so he asked Shen Chengyao, "At dinner today, did the uncle sit in your place and didn't want to leave?"

Jing Hao heard it and immediately told the situation at that time.

Xiao'er glanced at Jing Hao appreciatively, it is rare to be able to express a thing so clearly and methodically at such a young age!

Liu shook his head after hearing this, "He also said that he was the big shopkeeper, and he had read so many books, how could he not even be as good as a farmer when he talked and did things!"

"Mother, some of the farmers are sincere, diligent, and kind, which cannot be compared. ”

"Yes, just like my dad," Yun'er said with a smile.

"Dad and Uncle really can't compare, Dad is much better. ”

"You children, don't talk about your elders behind your back. Shen Chengyao reprimanded helplessly.

Yun'er stuck out her tongue.

"I moved once, but I didn't expect to receive such a generous gift. I'll give you three brothers these pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and you can pick a set of your favorite. Liu sorted the things in the warehouse, and then pointed to the pile of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Jing Rui pulled Brother Guo Ri to pick it, and both of them let Jing Hao, the least, pick first.

"Mother, it's almost the New Year, and we have to prepare a New Year's gift. Xiao'er blew the ink dry, closed the booklet and put it away.

Xiao'er thought about who needed to give New Year's gifts, and then began to make a list of gifts. After listing one, I will show it to the Liu family to see if there is anything that needs to be increased or decreased, and tomorrow I have to start preparing New Year's gifts for each family and send them out!

The old house of the Shen family

Shen Chengguang was angry when he remembered that he couldn't talk to Li Zhewei today, "The third child is too unpopular, I am his eldest brother, and I don't introduce Li Gongzi to me, and he doesn't cooperate when I create opportunities myself!"

Lan remembered what he saw in Shen Chengyao's house today, the whole set of high-quality pear blossom wood furniture in the front yard and hall house, the momentum was extraordinary, the leather sofa in the backyard, all kinds of ornaments, the warm and chic arrangement, the glazed windows, the mahogany bookcase in the study, the desk, the special thatched house, and the cloth for the curtains, the fabric was also better than what she was wearing, why did the third family become so rich all of a sudden?

Lan said what he saw and thought.

"Not only that, but also the flower room, the whole room is made of glass, and there are many flowers in it that are also very precious," Shen Bao'er wanted one after thinking about it.

"There is also a greenhouse on the wasteland, which is also made of glazed roof, which is very large, about one acre of land, and I heard that it is used to grow vegetables!" Shen Chengwen added.

"The third child is too unkind, he must have hidden it before the separation, and he became rich overnight after the separation. "Sure enough, it was born to Shen Zhuang's family, and they all had the same idea.

"If only I could know how the third family made money. Lan frowned, trying to figure out a way.

"Mother, I have a way!" Shen Bao'er thought of something she had seen before.

"What's the way?" Shen Chengguang's eyes lit up.

"Isn't Dad very friendly with Zhang Zhutou?......

Shen Bao'er asked a few people to get closer, and whispered what she saw and what she was going to do.
