224. Chapter 224
On the twentieth day of the lunar month, before dawn, Su Liu heard the faint sound of firecrackers in the distance, thought for a while in a daze, and estimated that Su Fusheng began to set off to greet his relatives.
After squinting for a while, I could hear the sound of my own house, but I was afraid that the Chen family had also gotten up to prepare for all kinds of worship and other matters, and looked at the leaks, it was the end of the third watch, and I lay on the bed for a while, Su Liu rolled around in the warm quilt, and got up resignedly, after all, there are a lot of things today.
After putting on his clothes, Su Liu called for iced tea and water to wash, and then went to the kitchen.
The kitchen was brightly lit, and the sound of Chen and Cui Niangzi talking came out, Su Liu walked in, first saluted Chen, and then exempted Cui Niangzi's salute, and then looked into the pot.
"It's still early, why don't you sleep for a while?" Chen looked at Su Liu lovingly and said.
"I couldn't sleep when I woke up left and right, so I got up and saw if there was anything I could do to help." Su Liu said with a smile.
"It's all about worshipping God, and you can't interfere."
"That mother, you're busy here, I'll go outside to take a look, I'll take the two girls of iced tea and Ya'er to work."
These days, Su Liu and the others have been busy with the banquet, the new house is new, but they also have to squander, Su Xiao and Chen Ye both got up early and joined Su Liu and the others.
When the sky was bright, the door of Su Liu's house was slammed, and two or three carriages were parked, and someone was carrying something out of the car, but it was Su Liu who invited the cook from the Manchun Hall in the town to make a banquet.
This is in the farmer's house, which family invites a banquet, generally the neighbors will come to help do things, commonly known as waterlogging, such as the old house, also invited a lot of villagers, before dawn to go to the old house to help.
Su Liu and the others did not invite many people to the banquet this time, and they knew that the old mansion had also invited these families, and they specially explained that they didn't need to come over to waterlogging or anything, so they invited the cook.
It's not that Su Liu and their wealth are big enough to show off, but they are too lazy to compete with the Huang family, and they are not too lazy to talk about how they are busy with waterlogging.
"Miss Su, congratulations." The shopkeeper of Manchun Hall smiled and waved at Su Liu.
"I'm going to trouble the shopkeeper early in the morning." Su Liu returned the salute with a smile and said, "Come into the house and have some tea to warm up." β
Originally, Su Liu of Manchun Hall couldn't be invited, but Song Fei was maneuvering around it, so he invited Manchun Hall to come, and a famous dish of Manchun Hall, braised pork knuckle, was the most coveted.
"I'm not busy, I'm not busy, I hope the eldest lady will show me the way, and it's not too late to put these objects in place first." The shopkeeper Chang smiled and pointed to the carriage behind him.
Su Liu smiled and nodded, and asked Cui Fu to lead the people to the kitchen.
Just as he was about to enter the house, he called from behind: "Liu girl, we are busy with waterlogging." β
Su Liu turned around and saw that it was the Lin family, who had always been good with the Chen family, and Cui Erzhu's daughter-in-law Tang family and others.
As for why she didn't go to the old house, she didn't ask much, but Tang said: "My sister-in-law went, I won't go, the family has discussed, and both sides are eating and drinking, so I have to support my stomach." β
These words amused the others, and when they met such an invitation to two families on the same day, they either went to the good one, or they divided into two groups, each went to one family, and neither was offended.
Su Liu actually doesn't care, she is happy, she is just as happy if she doesn't come, she will not be like the Huang family's elongated face.
Over there in the old house, the Huang family really stretched her face, she remembered who she invited to eat and drink, but she was busy with waterlogging, but it was not as much as she imagined, and she was unhappy in her heart.
"Hey, Dazhu's daughter-in-law, why don't you see Erzhu's daughter-in-law coming?" Huang asked Cui Dazhu's daughter-in-law, Liu, who came to be busy.
"She went to Liu Yatou's house to be busy, and she ate there today, and we ate here in yours, all of which are happy events and blessings." Liu smiled kindly.
Huang was displeased, and said in a weird manner: "In this way, the food over there must be better than ours, and I don't blame her." β
Liu's smile stiffened, and he glanced at the daughter-in-law who was busy with waterlogging beside him, and said in his heart, saying that Aunt Su's temper is getting more and more eccentric, and it is really true, look at what he said, it is really bitter.
Huang also felt that he was a little embarrassed, coughed, and said, "In this way, it depends on your skillful hands today." β
The Liu family is not a trickster, although they don't like it in their hearts, they also smile and get busy, and when the Huang family turns around, they whisper: "Really, this temperament is more than one layer worse." Inadvertently, when they saw Huang's mother smiling, they all walked away to get busy.
Huang Li sighed, glanced at his daughter, shook his head, walked over and whispered: "On this good day, you still have that temper, you don't have to let people see the jokes, and you don't put away your face for me." People can eat wherever they like, what are you not happy about? β
"They just want to sing in the ring with me, and I heard that they also invited the people of Manchun Hall to make a banquet, phew, show it to me!" Huang was very angry.
Saying this, a child outside the courtyard gate shouted: "Quick, go to Bei'ao to pick up firecrackers and candy, more than a dozen big carriages have just come." β
Huang's face darkened.
Hearing that Song Fei and they were coming, Chen and Su Liu personally greeted them, and this carriage was Song Fei's, and he and Song Xiao were standing next to the car.
The second car is the head of the Cao family, and the third car, Cao Mingzhu walked down from the car with the support of the maid, and there were many cars behind him, all of which were the cars of the maids' mothers-in-law, and they were lined up.
What surprised Su Liu was that the newly appointed magistrate Hu Zhixian also joined in the fun.
After Song Feiyi's introduction, Su Liu and the others had to kneel.
"No courtesy, Miss Su, don't blame the official for coming uninvited." Hu Zhixian touched the goatee and smiled, and asked the people around him to send congratulatory gifts.
Su Liu took it in a panic, thanked him again, and gave Song Fei a look, this time it is really a blessing to you.
Song Fei pursed his lips and smiled, this Hu Zhixian was newly promoted by his father, the former Pan Zhixian, not to mention that he was originally delusional about Cao Mingzhu, after investigation, the relatives of Mrs. Nazhi County also seemed to have offended Su Liu, and Pan Zhixian was not at ease, and he also looted a lot of people's fat and people's ointment.
In public and private, Song Fei had no choice but to let him step down, this Hu Zhixian had just been promoted, and when he heard that he was going to come to eat and drink, he also came with him by inspecting the customs of various towns and villages.
This Hu Zhixian is not just an official, he used to be a county prince, and it was easy to rely on the prefect's big event, and the son of the prefect's family was naturally stammering. can be an official, is not blind and deaf, this look is the first thing to have, after the information found, the son of the prefect's family and this little peasant girl are very familiar, of course he also did what he liked, so he also came to join in the fun.
If it weren't for the fact that his wife would not come to the village at all, he would really want to bring his family with him, so that he could take the opportunity to establish a good relationship.
Hearing that the magistrate was coming, the people who came to Su Liu's house to be busy all walked out quickly and knelt on the ground with hula.
Hu Zhixian smiled and said without courtesy: "The old man came today to congratulate his niece on his new home and marry, and everyone is exempt from courtesy." β
Yes, this Hu Zhixian is really a second person, so Su Liu is called the niece of the world.
And when these words came out, it was not ineffective, at least the eyes that looked at Su Liu and the others were a little deeper.
Just ask who in this village has such a great ability, just invite the county to come, I heard that it is still a new county, this is really amazing.
As soon as the news spread, not many people originally came to Su Liu's side, but now those who were invited and those who were not invited all came to Su Liu's house to join in the fun.
The door-to-door guests were all guests, and Su Liu had no choice but to let Chun Mantang add two more dishes and set up a few more seats.
"Don't talk at the door, it's cold this day, hurry up and go inside for tea." Chen said to everyone with a smile.
At this time, Cao Kui had already stepped forward with Cao Mingzhu, Cao Mingzhu was wearing a veil, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes, and the smile in his eyes was about to overflow.
Su Liu introduced Cao Kui and Chen again, and the two made eye contact, both of them were stunned for a moment, and quickly turned away, no one noticed this intersection.
led people into the house, Su Liu asked Mrs. Cui to lead the girl brought by Cao Mingzhu and others to sit on the seat, and asked people to call Ning Guang to greet the male guests. Seeing Ning Guang, Song Fei saluted respectfully, and even the arrogant fifth son Song Xiao reluctantly saluted, Hu Zhixian saw it from the side, and heard that this was Su Liu's fiancΓ©, his eyes flashed, and he thought that next time he would take his wife and daughter no matter what.
Su Liu took Cao Mingzhu into his boudoir, the two met, and they had a lot to say, when asked why they came with Song Fei and them, Cao Mingzhu blushed unconsciously.
"He also said that there was a response on the road, for fear that we wouldn't be able to find it." Cao Mingzhu is authentic.
Su Liu saw her blushing face and teased: "Yo, it seems that there is something good that I missed." β
Cao Mingzhu bit her lip, smacked her, lowered her head, stretched out her wrist again, took off a chain, and said, "This, this is what he sent." β
Su Liuke was really surprised, the chain was inlaid with diamonds and sapphires, the two were intertwined, very beautiful, taking advantage of Cao Mingzhu's thin white wrist, it really complemented each other.
"Congratulations sister." Su Liu bumped Cao Mingzhu's elbow.
Cao Mingzhu's face was so red that he was about to drip blood, his head was lowered to his chest, and he said: "These eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, so it's so fast, besides, our ...... in this family"
Su Liu held her hand and said, "Don't think too much. I still say that if he wants to marry, he will remove all obstacles, and you have to have faith in him. β
Cao Mingzhu bit her lip and nodded.
The two talked for a while, and Iced Tea said that the auspicious time had arrived, and Chen and Song Fei wanted to salute him and Ning Guang and let her go to the main hall.
