Chapter 67: Scoundrels

This episode was uncovered by Grandmother Xiao's words without any pain, and the second elder and his party were worried about whether Xiao Yuan would decide to hold a banquet in Xiao Mansion because of this, and quietly inquired in private and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they found that Xiao Mansion was arranging everything as usual.

The 14th day of the ninth month of the year of Jiazi is the most suitable day for marriage. In the stone city, not only Xiao He's family married, but also several families with red flowers on their doors. The firecrackers and gongs and drums at the time of marriage are noisy, as if the city has passed the New Year in advance.

Xiao He's worship ceremony was at home, and they were not so outrageous that they chose to worship in Xiao Mansion. However, they smug that they could hold their own banquet in Shicheng's rich mansion, and they would be able to gain some face. However, most people understand in their hearts, and secretly despise the behavior of the second elder's family, but they still came as scheduled. A lintel mansion like Xiao Mansion is not bad.

Shi Manman stood quietly in the pavilion and listened to the noise of gongs and drums outside the courtyard, but did not feel irritable, but had a trace of curiosity and the urge to go out and have a look.

Because one day she will be like Xiao Lei and these newlyweds who tie the knot today, she wants to see what kind of process the so-called wedding is.

But Xiao's Mansion is just a banquet, and even if she is discharged from the hospital to see, she can only see guests greeting each other and busy maids.

"Roast suckling pig...... Chickens, ducks, geese, fish, ......" The little hooked snake closed his eyes and spat into the air, and he could see that every time he said a word, the saliva on his mouth fell a point.

Shi Manman wiped the "ambergris" next to the mouth of the little hooked snake with his cuffs, dragged its chin and closed its unclosed mouth.

"Let's go, let's go. Let's go see what else ...... "is delicious." As he spoke, the little hooked snake slipped from the stone vine's hand and was about to swim out.

Since Xiao Lei took it to travel all over the Xiao family, it has long been familiar with the terrain of the Xiao family, and even how many rat holes and rat nests and small hooked snakes there are in this mansion.

The Xiao family has not been so lively for a long time, and the servants are busy in a dizzy manner, just because Yalian is Shi Manman's maid to avoid the fate of being called, but the few people who live in the shallow Su have been temporarily transferred, and Yalian has to do the work of a second- or third-class maid, and her feet are busy in the morning without touching the ground, and she is not beside Shi Manman.

Shi Manman is not worried about the little hooked snake causing trouble, but as long as the little hooked snake appears in the crowd, just by its appearance, the incident will naturally follow. She followed and fished it back into her hand, and before the little hooked snake complained, "I'll take you." ”

……

At the side door of Xiao Mansion, Xiao Zengshou greeted the guests one by one with a smile, as for how much sincere joy he had in his heart, only he knew.

I came to Xiao Mansion early this morning to see if there was anything missing, but I saw that the two red lanterns hanging on the eaves in front of Xiao Mansion were still plain and clean, and they were still arranged during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Where it looked like he was going to do a happy event, he held back his anger and didn't slam the door, but he also banged on the door.

When he questioned Xiao Yuan, Xiao's grandmother said lightly: "The Xiao Mansion is just borrowing a place to hold a banquet, and there are no relatives in the house." If you do this, it will cause others to misunderstand, and it will have a bad impact on the two unmarried and unmarried children in the family. ”

What Grandmother Xiao said was reasonable, and it was impossible for him to argue with his elders, and there was no time to say it. When he came over with his father and daughter-in-law, he just arranged the scene of the banquet, and before he had time to take care of anything else, because his daughter-in-law had lost his face, he couldn't wait to leave and didn't pay attention to what happened later, after all, what the Xiao family promised would also be criticized by their clan if they didn't do it well.

"How can you go through the side door, Xiao Mansion is so hospitable?" Xiao Zengshou vaguely heard that someone was talking about Xiao Mansion, and he was too happy not to explain. Since they have opened the side door, they will also be prepared to be discussed.

"Don't you know, today is not the Xiao Mansion to hold a wedding, but the people of the clan who borrowed this place to hold a banquet." Another insider explained.

"As I said, I see. However, the people in the Xiao clan are also really good, and they can think of such a method, which is really embarrassing for Master Xiao. The first man sneered under his breath.

Xiao Zengshou couldn't really listen to the words of the latter two, he pinched the bride price handed by others, his face was as stiff as iron, so that the guest who gave the bride price thought that the other party had a big opinion about the gift he gave. The guest thought about it for a while, the gift he gave should not be taboo, could it be that Xiao Zengshou couldn't look down on it?

"Steward Zhang, you help me keep it!" Xiao Zengshou handed the bride price to the next person, he no longer wanted to stand in front of the door to greet the guest and be pointed at.

The more Xiao Zengshou thought about the whispered words he heard just now, the more his heart and lungs swelled, and he glanced around at the people who came and went, wanting to find his mistakes casually to vent.

His eyes glanced around at a slender woman in white and plain face. Thinking of her testimony to her daughter-in-law that day, her eyelids jumped, this is not an object that can be vented at will.

When he turned to leave, he was hit by a tall man, and he stumbled when he stabilized himself to see who the person in front of him was.

Who invited him? Xiao Zengshou was suspicious.

The man who hit him was a well-known bastard in Shicheng, and many people called him Laizi in private, he bullied the old and the young, and he also liked to flirt with young and beautiful women on the street. But no one can bear him, just because he is the brother-in-law of the county master. How many people who accuse him were all sent away lightly, and then they were inexplicably beaten on the street one day.

When the people of Shicheng saw this, they didn't dare to provoke him, and the victims who swallowed their anger made him even worse.

Xiao Zengshou remembered that he didn't invite this person in his post, first of all, not to mention that he was notorious for his bad deeds in Stone City, and secondly, they didn't have any intersection at all.

Still thinking about it, Xiao Zengshou's collar was tight, as if he had been dragged by someone. When he came back to his senses, he was indeed grabbed by the collar.

"You are an old immortal, haven't you seen your master? You broke a strand of hair, and you watched the loss. The man was burly, leaning over slightly, and Xiao Zengshou was covered in the black shadow.

"This ...... This is Xiao Mansion. You can't mess around. Xiao Zengshou was annoyed that he chose a sparsely populated place to go, and he ran into this bastard.

"What about Xiao Mansion, isn't it just a cheap merchant. Seeing that you are somewhat similar to that Xiao peddler, you must be his relative. My precious body was hit by you like this, I don't know if it hurt my heart. "The yellow-mouthed and white-toothed slander, Xiao Zengshou can be regarded as insightful.

Xiao Zengshou didn't know what Lai Zi meant, and he could send it away with a few dollars. Today's already unhappy mood met the slanderous Laizi again, he couldn't help but be unhappy, and said in his heart: "Brother, brother, raise your noble hand." This is Xiao Mansion, and it's not good for my brother if things get bigger. ”

"What about the Xiao Mansion?"

Lai Zi originally wanted to sneak into the Xiao Mansion for a big meal, but because he mixed in with the crowd and had no one to guide him, he was lost by the intricate roads and alleys of the Xiao family. happened to meet Xiao Zengshou who bumped into him, and forgot that this was in Xiao Mansion, thinking about blackmailing the other party for a few drinks. After being reminded by the other party, he suddenly remembered his situation, and although he said viciously that he was not afraid, his hand still let go.
