Chapter 706: Friends from Far Away (Two Chapters in One)
With the arrival of these officials, with the arrival of the prefect's congratulatory gifts, the atmosphere was pushed to a climax.
Hu Zhixian smiled when he entered the door, saying that he was not the county master today, everyone was relaxed and had no official business.
He just came to drink the wine of Brother Song's son and niece today.
The old men and men in the village who came to the wedding smacked their tongues:
I have long known that the head of the regiment has a good relationship with their Qingtian Lord, and I dare not think that it can be so good.
It's no wonder that you can arrange an official position for any kid you want.
Today is just a righteous son and a niece getting married.
Yizi, they know what's going on, isn't it the four strong?
This can give face to the ceremony.
If it is replaced by a fat girl who marries a man and Mi Shou marries a wife, and Ma Lao is too long, the ceremony will definitely be thicker.
Don't mention the etiquette, it's vulgar.
Just said that the Qingtian Lord could come in person, and it was too face-saving for this matter.
Looking at ten miles and eight villages, which village and which household can have this face to entertain the county lord to drink?
After Hu Zhixian, Lord Wei and the huge people got out of the carriage, and also said to Grandpa Song, who came to the gate to greet them in person, there are no adults here, no officials, old man, we are here to drink happy wine, are you welcome?
"Welcome, welcome."
This time, the people in the village were a little confused, and they couldn't figure out what kind of official this was, and they didn't know if it was bigger than the county.
Song Fucai was hurriedly called out, and a woman heard the conversation before saying, "It seems to be the head official of Dalang." ”
"Ah, that's the official of the field where our village's Lieba milk bricks were sent?"
"It should be."
"Hey, no wonder let our village earn this money, you look at the relationship between those two officials and our head of the regiment, call him brother and brother, or say that our whole village is borrowing the head of the regiment. Without our leader, even if we can boil milk bricks and milk bricks can boil flowers, people can't accept them. ”
"Yes, that's what makes it easy for someone up there to do things."
"Then you say, who is the most official of the two officials and the county master? How do you see that the county magistrate nodded to the two adults, and those old men who raised people also gathered around to say hello? ”
In the hearts of the old men, it is natural to talk more with Lord Wei and huge people, especially with Lord Wei.
This one came down from the household department and was assigned to the warehouse office.
Don't worry about whether Lord Wei was taken seriously when he was in the household department, just because he had worked there, and the threshold of the yamen was high. The post can be sent to several adults such as Tobe Shangshu and Shilang, and this energy cannot be underestimated.
When the congratulatory gift from Governor Li's mansion arrived, this voice spread, and the loyal and honest old men in the village even asked each other:
"Shall we kneel?"
What are you doing with your knees?
Thank you for that.
"Thank you, you can't just kneel when you hear it, it's time to embarrass the head of the regiment. In other words, I only learned the prefect's surname Li today. ”
It turned out to be surnamed Li.
Ren Gongxin reminded: "It's a little deep, haven't you seen a bigger official?" ”
"Who?"
"You forgot, General Lu."
Yes, we are people who have seen General Dinghai, and the villagers of Renjia Village are immediately more confident.
However, even if the people in the village stand up slightly straighter, their faces are still the same:
My mother, it turns out that the county lord came to the Song family in person, and the prefect of Fengtian City has to celebrate the righteous son and niece of the head of the regiment. These two couples, if they don't live a good life in the future, it's really unreasonable.
Seeing the excitement and seeing this, the people in the village started a new round:
"The head of the regiment has a really good character, and the Song Jiu family really doesn't forget their roots."
Isn't?
These old farmers, if they didn't live in the same village with the head of the regiment, or if they didn't rely on the fact that the Song Jiu family had never seen people through the cracks in the door, to be honest, how could they be qualified to pull two pieces of red cloth and go to the door to drink happy wine.
Listen, look, who are the people who enter the threshold.
"I think we're embarrassing the head of the regiment by eating here."
"Don't think so, the head of the regiment can't think we're ashamed. So, quickly, I will tell the dolls' ears again, and then open the table and collect a little, if you can't eat enough, you can't go home to eat, don't throw it away, and then disgust those big officials. ”
In fact, about the gift sent by Governor Li, even Song Fusheng was very surprised.
Song Fusheng had seen Master Li, looked at it from a distance, had never spoken, and didn't understand how to give him a gift? Where did you get the news?
In this doubt, there are also ideas speculated by the people in the village, that is:
If his family is married, it is his own daughter, which is more or less reasonable.
This is just a marriage between a righteous son and a niece, isn't it a little too polite?
The whole family is an understanding person who understands Mrs. Ma.
That's right, she knows why Governor Li sent the gift.
The old lady thinks:
Didn't Minrui hand her a sign? Tell the family that if there is a big matter, a difficult matter, or something that can't be solved, you don't have to deal with the magistrate of Nursery Rhyme Town, and let her skip the level and go directly to Governor Li, with this brand, people will definitely meet her.
How could Minrui only tell her to say hello to that side, right? Otherwise, such a big official would know who she is.
Therefore, Lord Li's gift is not to save face for her three sons, but for Lu Minrui's face.
Mrs. Ma hurriedly pulled out a red envelope from the waistband of her trousers, which had been prepared earlier, in order to give a red envelope to the baby.
She opened the red envelope and stuffed some broken silver into it, "Who, you stop." casually called someone over, and when she looked up, she found that it was her second nephew Song Fushou.
You can't do it, you get up, this one-eyed, the image is not good-looking, come to another person.
Mrs. Ma carefully instructed Mr. Guo's eldest son to send this red envelope to the little guy sent by Master Li at the door, so as not to let the family run errands in vain.
"Grandma, I'll serve dishes to the third uncle's house, if you have the skills to talk to me, go directly."
I'm angry with Mrs. Ma, why is there so much nonsense, if you want to go, you will go.
She can't come forward.
She is Song Fusheng's mother, no, the third son is not important, her important identity is Lu Minrui's grandmother.
With such a powerful status, how could she run to the gate to give a red envelope to the little prefect of a small prefect, isn't this, it's time to embarrass Minrui.
……
In the small building, there are three tables in the living room, all of which are sitting here with some status.
The three tables barely sat down, and pushed the sofa and coffee table of the bus into the corner.
Master Wei glanced at the three tables and thought:
Brother Song's popularity is really good, more than half of today's lifters are here, right?
More than half, this number is very scary.
Because some people may not know the news at all, they didn't come.
Some people are registered here, their families are in other places, and they are still catching up with the Chinese New Year, and they may have already returned to their hometowns. Or some of them have already set off for the capital.
Remove some people who like to drop their book bags and have old-fashioned temperaments, these belong to the relationship that can't be done together.
Lao Wei has reason to suspect that after removing the above possibilities, after many years of imperial examinations, the first freshly baked lifters in Fengtian are all sitting here.
Song Fusheng stood up, raised his glass, and expressed his sincere thanks to the three tables first, thank you for your support.
He drank three glasses of wine in a row.
Someone asked him, Brother Zijiao, how could two couples hold a banquet together, which is unheard of.
Song Fusheng held his wine glass and said with a smile:
You don't know, there are very few pairs anymore.
Like my eldest nephew, I didn't participate, and the marriage date of my sister and niece was postponed, including a while ago, the children of the two clans had already married out, and I didn't join in the excitement. Otherwise, our family would be able to hold a large-scale group wedding.
These words made everyone laugh.
Song Fusheng toasted one by one and said: Happy, I'm so happy today.
Others said, "I really can't tell that you are the one who has a daughter-in-law." "The noodles are too tender.
Song Fusheng laughed and said, "Haha, that's right, I'm a person who has a daughter-in-law." ”
Marrying a daughter-in-law to Sizhuang is a meritorious one.
Song Fusheng's face was full of pride, and it was another new round of drinking.
Today's banquet was very lively.
The villagers who were eating the big banquet outside were eating meat and gnawing bones, but now they are satisfied, and they said while eating: The Song family is too real, and you can know from looking at this banquet that people belong to either not doing it, or doing it well. The same is true for houses, or not to build, or to build them is best.
Song Fusheng's friends in the house drank rice wine, rice wine, and ate fresh vegetables in winter, Sixi meatballs, pork ribs, crystal pork knuckle, pork slices, chicken stewed mushrooms, etc., with 20 dishes per table.
Everyone thinks, don't underestimate the Song family living in the countryside, you look at the living environment of other people, where they live, eat, and use.
Until the evening, it was completely dark, and there were still men at the entrance of Renjia Village directing how to go.
The banquet was dispersed, and the two Pengzi in the village were serving as traffic police to send off guests:
"Slow down, slow down."
"Thank you, I hope you will come to Renjia Village next time."
At this time, Song Fusheng had already fallen asleep in a daze.
Song Fusheng insisted on sending off the last batch of guests, he went upstairs, and he didn't get up when he lay on the kang, he drank too much wine today.
Mi Shou knelt on the kang, holding a small cool handkerchief, wiping Song Fusheng's forehead for a while, and unbuttoning the collar of his clothes to wipe his heart for a while.
I took off my uncle's socks.
also touched Song Fusheng's forehead with his forehead to see if it was hot, his uncle's face was so red.
After a while, the sound of Song Fusheng and Mi Shou making trouble came from upstairs.
Downstairs, Qian Peiying glanced at the stairs, didn't take it seriously, she leaned on the sofa, and then looked at the gift list with her daughter.
I can't make Qian Peiying tired today.
She didn't want to return to the sofa and sweep the floor when she was tired just now, but the rich and noble daughter-in-law came over to help clean up the table, wash the rice and dishes, and she had to insist on tidying up the house.
It was also as bad as usual, the smell could not be released when the windows were opened, and the house was full of alcohol. Pour out the cold that is open in the house.
She and her daughter dragged the sofa to the fireplace and talked while the fire was cooking.
After a while, the old lady came.
The old lady was startled when she entered the house.
Because upstairs Mi Shou shouted, "Pierce me," and then came the laughter of her three children.
The old lady paused to change her slippers, and then entered the house without taking it seriously.
I've long been used to it, her three sons and Mi Shou are like that.
"Show me how much I have."
Qian Peiying sat up straight, gave way to the side, and motioned for her mother-in-law to sit next to her: "Eldest sister, have you finished the courtesy account on their side?" ”
Mrs. Ma waved her hand, "No, I'm not rare to watch." Let them write it down for themselves, and whoever receives it in the future will return the gift, and I will trust you here. ”
Mrs. Ma saw Yang Mingyuan at a glance, forty taels of silver, which caused her to sigh.
"Oh, that's really rich. It's no longer the time to cry for two taels of Leba money and be almost angry with his mother. ”
It seems that this is a couple of newcomers who give twenty taels.
This, this, forty taels, this can buy two or three acres of land.
Qian Peiying tucked the hair in her ear and smiled: "Yes, he has a lot, and we didn't expect it." ”
"What about the officers?"
"Some of those officials have more, and some have less."
Lord Wei gave fifty taels of silver to Sui, and Hu Zhixian and Da Da Ren were twenty taels Sui.
Qian Peiying told Mrs. Ma that the fat girl and her father said that this is already a lot, after all, it is Sizhuang and Peach Blossom who are married, and the relationship may still be a little worse in the eyes of outsiders.
Our family's serious events haven't started yet.
People will also think, if this kind of family affair is too much, in the future, our family will be serious and serious, such as fat girl Mi Shou, you are old and old, how much should people follow, then it can't be done.
Mrs. Ma nodded again and again:
"That's right, that's the reason.
Besides, this is already a lot, and if we receive too much, we can't return the gift.
For example, the sons of Hu Zhixian's family, I have heard people say that they are not married, will you not be human in the future? How can there be anything that only collects and does not take out.
However, it is still the fact that Lord Wei is here, and in the future, if you talk about the fat girl and her father, you still have to walk around more with such people. ”
Therefore, talking about a thousand things and ten thousand, the old lady talks about a big truth, but in her heart, she can't stop the people she likes to give a lot of money.
Mrs. Ma simply asked Song Fuling to miss the others, and when it was dark, she didn't look at herself, her eyes were not good.
After listening, the old lady said: "Did these people discuss before they came, except for Yang Mingyuan, they were all with five taels of silver." ”
The mothers sat in front of the fireplace, and opened the congratulatory gift sent by Lord Li, which were two sets of identical tea bowls, one pot with four bowls, and even the pattern was the same.
Qian Peiying fiddled with the tea bowl and said, "I'll give those two couples tomorrow." ”
"You big hands and claws, don't give it," Mrs. Ma didn't let you: "Keep it for yourself, can such a big official of the prefect give something bad?" You keep it for later. ”
Qian Peiying disagreed, after all, it was a gift for the marriage of two pairs of children, why was she so picky? What to do with it, the tea bowl is used.
It just so happens that the two young couples lack these things to live by.
But her family doesn't lack this, and the last time she went back to Luban, it was not a hundred sets stronger than this tea bowl?
Today, she also heard the Lord Wei ask Lao Song in private, "Your set of plates and bowls is particular, you can't hide my eyesight." ”
If you are obedient and listen to the sound, you should know how expensive the things that Lu Bang sent back to her family are.
Song Fuling said: "Milk, don't worry about my mother, you come and see, it's done." ”
After closing the accounts, it was found that Si Zhuang and Gao Tietou got married, and her family's pockets bulged out a lot, and her father collected money for a small house in the city.
All together, I was shocked when I finished counting.
Sure enough, this matter attracted Mrs. Ma's attention more than the tea bowl, "Show me, Emma." ”
