If the marriage fails, the guests outside can't ignore it, and the second-room daughter-in-law, Qian, can't think about it...... My husband has no news outside, and now his son is getting married, and he is actually being teased, and now Shen Yongrui is twenty years old, how can he please his daughter-in-law in the future?

Qian was crying at this time, and his tone seemed to be complaining: "Mother, how good should you have let San Lang study?" ”

Li was furious and slapped the table: "Is it for my mother's partiality?" If the family has a little ability, can they not let their children and grandchildren study? Isn't that not enough to afford to send so many children to school? If the Liu family doesn't marry their daughter, it's not uncommon...... This marriage is a big deal! ”

In the Shen family, the most eccentricity of the Li family is the big house, the big house raises two scholars, and the other rooms feel that the old lady is eccentric, but it is just a matter of more and less.

Originally, the main force of the family to make money was the fourth room and the first room, but the second and third rooms were also farming, and in order to compensate for the other four rooms, the Li family used a democratic vote to let Shen Yuan, the sixth man of the fourth room, study, but he didn't want to offend the first room, so that Shen Mingjun and his wife were always outside, which was like splitting the family.

Fortunately, he fought for his strength in the house, and through his own efforts for his son to study, he finally cultivated a lifter!

The second and third rooms have always been only paid without return, and even if the fourth room has a son studying, but their husband and wife have been in the countryside all these years, and they have not been much grateful to the old lady. Even the old lady favored Shen Mingwen and his wife the most, and they didn't appreciate it, the Shen family, the Li family was the most unflattering.

Shen Mingxin asked: "Mother, the guests outside have arrived, just wait for the banquet to start, but this bride is not coming, there is no way to continue, or we will accept the banquet?" ”

Wang Shi said angrily: "The fourth brother's words sound unpleasant, if the bride doesn't come, she won't open the banquet, so she fools people like this." In the future, if there is any happy event to have a banquet in our family, will people give gifts? Didn't you come after giving a courtesy? Mother, did you say? ”

The old lady's face darkened.

This feast should not continue, but if it is withdrawn, it will be even more ridiculous, the ingredients have been bought, and even many steamed vegetables have been cooked, as well as pickled meat and tofu sliced and plated, and if you don't eat it, you can only waste it in vain. At that moment, Li gritted his teeth: "The banquet is held, even if people don't come, we will continue to hold it." The Liu family doesn't know etiquette, our Shen family is not a family that doesn't care about face! ”

Just as there was a family meeting in the main hall of the Shen family, the guests in the courtyard were also whispering.

The Shen family's wedding banquet, Shen Saburo married at the age of twenty, and it is already a "late marriage" in this year, if he can't marry this time, he may really have to be a bachelor for a lifetime??. `

In these years, powerful people can certainly have three wives and four concubines, but there are also many people who can't marry daughters-in-law, and no one will pity Shen Sanlang. I just feel that the Shen family is now out of the Yuan Gong and has landed in such a field, which makes people feel emotional.

"Most of the Shen family's wedding banquet will not be held, and the old lady will come out in a while. Let's beg her for money and see what she does! ”

Originally, there were people who did not give gifts and ate white food in the crowd, but after their instigation, the emotions of those neighbors who followed the gifts were aroused.

It's not easy for anyone these days. Although the accompanying gifts are just some cheap things such as eggs, cloth, silk and noodles, since they have been given away, it is really unreasonable not to eat the feast. And this time the Shen family lost face. I don't have to eat this meal, and I don't know when I want to make up for it later.

Originally, I went to the banquet with a congratulatory mentality, but under the leadership of someone, I was a little restless with the banquet guests. And those relatives of the Shen family, jealous of the Li family's presiding over this vein, all looked on coldly for a while, it is best to let the Li family lose face, in the future, the Shen family's branches are half a catty and eight taels, and no one will say that it is better than anyone.

"The old lady is out."

Someone shouted, and saw the Li family coming out of the house with the Shen family, Li smiled and waved his hand: "Let's open the table." ”

The words made the people present quite puzzled, and someone hurriedly asked: "Old lady, if your granddaughter-in-law can't marry, do you still have to hold a banquet?" ”

Li Shiqiang smiled: "Who said you can't get married?" My Shen family is thriving now, and the daughter of the Liu family is unwilling to marry, and the only one who regrets it is the Liu family...... In the future, some people in my Shen family want to climb relatives. ”

"Well said."

The person who eats white food heard that there was a banquet, and he took a picture of the sycophants...... As long as the old lady is happy, she may be able to ask for some reward when she leaves.

However, some neighbors whispered: "In the past, someone wanted to marry the Shen family, but after today's incident, isn't it a joke to marry his daughter to the Shen family?" ”

Li Shi was completely forced to come out to meet the guests at this time, and after the banquet opened, she returned to the backyard under the pretext of being unwell, but as soon as she stepped into the threshold of the hall, her body was weak for a while, but fortunately, the granddaughter-in-law next to her, Lu Shi, had a quick eye and a hand, and held her up: "Grandmother, are you okay?" ”

"Mother......

The son and daughter-in-law suddenly came over to help. `?

"It's okay for my mother, help me to rest, today's banquet ...... It doesn't matter how much you spend, you have to save face...... However, this time I spent so much unjust money, and I am afraid that this banquet will not be able to be held when the third child gets married in the future. ”

Li Shi felt a little sorry for the silver, and sighed when he said this, which was very uncomfortable.

Wang said: "Look at what my mother said, now that the marriage is yellow, we will extravagantly entertain the banquet, and when we really get married later, we will not hold a banquet, this matter is unreasonable." ”

Shen Mingxin said angrily: "Sister-in-law, just say a few words!" ”

Wang sneered: "If everything happens, don't you allow me to say it?" If you want to blame the little man, if he hadn't been moved, let others think that our Shen family has a lot of scenery, and the Liu family can agree but temporarily change the hexagram? Hmph, he is happy in the capital alone, and he hasn't spent our Shen family's money? ”

"If you want me to say, call him back quickly, it's best to go out and be a small official, so that it doesn't cost money, and you can earn some money for the family to come back!"

Just when Li's heart ached, Wang didn't take the initiative to explain, but poured salt on the old lady's wound, and Li shouted angrily: "Enough!" Are you going to be angry with me? Fourth, help Weiniang to go in......"

Lu said: "Grandmother, I'll come." ”

Wang was triumphant: "It's also a granddaughter-in-law, look at my eldest son's daughter-in-law......"

No one refuted what she said, but the faces of the Shen family present were somewhat unsightly.

To say that the Shen family was rejected from marriage, it started with the Lu family.

At the beginning, the Lu family also disliked the Shen family, and only passed the county test, and it took a year to marry their daughter, but the virtuous and virtuous lady of the Lu family really didn't choose, and after marrying into the door, he was in harmony with Shen Yongzhuo's husband and wife, and he also took care of his family...... Although she, a junior, has no say at all.

The family was about to help Li to his room to rest. But I heard someone shouting from the main courtyard: "Good news! Good news! Good news! ”

Three times in a row, the voice is so high that you can hear it clearly even across the street.

This loud voice frightened the Li family, and he almost fell headlong when he didn't stand firm, and the Wang family scolded: "Who has nothing to do to make trouble?" Fourth, why don't you go and drive people away? ”

Shen Mingxin frowned, but he still went as he said, and before he came back, he heard the sound of the second round of "good news" outside, and this time the Li clan suddenly came to his senses. took Feng's hand and asked, "Didn't Liulang try it out of the house?" ”

Wang sneered disdainfully: "Mother, the government exam has just begun, and even if you pass the exam, you won't be out of the list so quickly." As he spoke, he glared at Feng Shi fiercely, as if he was provoking, your son also wants to pass the house test like my eldest man, and study for a few more years!

After thinking about it carefully, this year's provincial examination in Tingzhou Mansion was held on April 13. Calculating the time, it will indeed take time before the final release of the list, and I can't help but feel a little disappointed in my heart.

However, since there was a commotion in the main courtyard, she, the head of the family, could not hide and not see the guests. At that moment, he commanded: "Help me out and see." ”

When Li came to the front yard, there were already three groups of people who reported the good news, dressed in red and green, and carried firecrackers at the door to set off after the good news. Behind him, there was a steady stream of people from the yamen on errands, and there was the sound of gongs and drums beating from far and near.

When Li Shi saw this battle, he was a little stunned. Even when the little grandson was in Xie Yuan, it wasn't so lively!

"Which one is the old lady?"

When the newspaper of the county government saw the Shen family coming out, he looked at the Li family at a glance and asked knowingly.

"Old ...... The old body is. ”

Li Shi saw the red envelope in the newspaper's hand, her legs couldn't stand straight, she pointed to the newspaper, but no one could answer what was going on with her.

The newspaper said with a smile: "Such a big happy event, the villain does not dare to report it, and wait for the county magistrate to come in person, so that the county magistrate will come to report the good news for the old lady." ”

"Wow."

After the banquet inside and outside the courtyard, the guests who were about to let go of their stomachs and eat a big meal were in an uproar!

The county magistrate came in person, just because the Shen family married a daughter-in-law?

But the Shen family's marriage today has clearly come to an end!

Didn't the county magistrate go to make peace and save the marriage?

"Good news...... Good news......"

Different from the three rounds of good news, the people who came to report the good news this time can't tell how many waves it is, but most of them are people from the county government, after all, the newspapers of the political envoy and the government have all gone to the Fucheng pharmacy Shen Xi's old lady to report the good news, and the county government can only fill the number indiscriminately, in short, the newspaper is wave after wave, and the Shen family can't tell who is who.

Temporarily acting as a newspaper officer, he just said congratulations, but he didn't say what it was, and he had to wait for the county master to come and explain it in person. However, some people are familiar with the people in the county government, and they probably know a little bit about the situation through inquiry, which seems to be "Shen Family's Seventh Master High School".

Shen Mingwen, who had been studying in the backyard and didn't show up, came out and asked impatiently, "Mother, why are you so noisy?" What happened? ”

Li didn't pay attention to his son coming out at all, just looked at the gate. It was Wang who pulled her husband, meaning that she asked her husband not to go up to please him.

"Boom! Boom! Boom ......"

The sound of the gong was approaching, but it was the sedan chair of the county magistrate who arrived.

The Shen family hurriedly went out of the door, only to see the official sedan chair stopped at the entrance of the alley, and the county master had already got down from the sedan chair and walked towards the gate of the Shen family with steady steps.

"Say hello to the magistrate."

There were many guests who came to the Shen family today, and when they saw that it was a genuine county order, they all hurriedly saluted and knelt down along the way.

The county magistrate was a middle-aged man in his forties, and after searching the crowd, he didn't recognize who was who, so he hurriedly asked, "Which is the old lady of the Shen family?" ”

"Old body...... It's the old body. ”

Li wanted to raise his head and reply, but immediately realized that he was an ordinary person and could not face the county order, only Shen Mingwen, who was standing next to him, glanced at the county master in surprise...... He is a showman, or a young man, he doesn't have to kneel when he sees the magistrate, but he still has to bow his hand.

"Hurry up, please get up, how can this official be worthy of the old lady's worship?" The county magistrate hurriedly helped Li up.

The Li family had previously experienced the granddaughter-in-law's escape from marriage, and her face was gloomy, and at this moment, a dignified county magistrate suddenly came to the door, she was dizzy, and the county order said, "Why don't you bring Shen Zhuangyuan's good news?" ”

In one sentence, the originally noisy courtyard of the Shen family was silent!

The county order took the good news in his hand, stood up straight, and officially read it: "Shen Qi, the political envoy of Fujian Province, Ninghua County, the capital of Fujian Province, has not tried to raise the first place in the Nangong Huiyuan, and the first place in the first place in the Yellow List High School in the Jindian Palace, and the third list is a success, so I am hereby glad to report." ”

"Crackling ......"

With the end of the county lord's annunciation, firecrackers rang out in unison, and gongs and drums were noisy.

Li didn't hear those words clearly just now, so he hurriedly pulled the people around him and asked, "What did you say?" Say what? ”

The sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums, accompanied by the boiling of human voices, it is difficult to hear a word inside and outside the courtyard.
