Chapter 32: Sister-in-law Comes to Congratulate (Asking for Recommendation Vote Support)
Those who came were all colleagues from the county government.
Everyone gathered in the front yard lively, just filled four tables, and Li Quan and Zhou Zunfeng were responsible for the reception.
There was a separate table inside, and there were only four people on the table, namely County Cheng, Zhang Zhusi, Lei Zhutou and Cao Jun.
The atmosphere at this table was much more gentle.
The bride is still sitting in the back room at the moment, accompanied by her good sister Qin'er, and she also secretly eats some fruits and pastries to cushion her stomach, and will come out with Cao Jun to toast later.
After three rounds of drinking, I don't know who provoked the reason, and the people in the front yard began to coax, shouting for the bride to toast.
Cao Jun had no choice, so he had to go into the house and invite Li Bei'er out.
In the anticipatory noise of the crowd, Li Bei'er held the qin in one hand, followed behind Cao Jun, dressed in a pink new clothes, and bowed to everyone generously.
Everyone saw that the bride had a delicate face, a tall figure, and a lingering charm on her face, and she was a rare beauty, and they applauded.
After the toast, it was originally time to kowtow to the eldest woman for tea.
But Cao Jun did not marry a wife, nor did he have parents by his side, and Li Bei'er had been separated from his parents for many years and had not been heard from so far, so he didn't know how to proceed.
In order not to leave regrets, the old man of the county came up with a cheap idea.
Because his new concubine Qin'er and Ping'er were previously called sisters, they temporarily acted as Ping'er's mother's family, sitting on the top side, waiting for Ping'er to serve tea, which can be regarded as the final process of completing the celebration.
At this time, when Qingli was lively, an unexpected figure appeared in the front yard.
I saw Pan Jinlian standing in the middle of the front yard for some time.
She was wearing a bright red new dress, with a newly bought silver hairpin on her head, and two strings of pendants hanging at the end of the hairpin, which flickered into everyone's sight with the movement of her footsteps.
"Uncle is happy today, how can he miss his own people."
Pan Jinlian glanced at everyone with full aura, and finally her eyes slowly fell on Li Bei'er.
I don't know if it's because Cao Jun is clumsy, but suddenly he saw a murderous spark in Pan Jinlian's eyes, and he was taken aback, stunned for a moment, and secretly complained: "Why is this here?" You shouldn't have come here to smash the field, right? ”
On the surface, he can't drive people away.
I had to hold back a smile, and hurriedly came out to introduce: "This is my sister-in-law, who took care of Cao in the past, and I came to have a banquet today, don't blame you." ”
Pan Jinlian didn't take a straight look at Cao Jun, but just snorted coldly, and after seeing the situation in the house, she sat on the main seat on the other side, that is, next to the county boss.
Looking at her appearance, she actually represents the man's elders, waiting for the bride to serve tea.
Everyone looked at Cao Jun, who was nervous, and then looked at Pan Jinlian, who was silent with a straight face, and always felt that something was wrong.
Pan Jinlian sat on the main seat of the man's elders, but wore a big infrared jacket that the bride should wear when she passed through the door, vaguely comparing the demeanor of the real bride Li Bei'er.
What's more, in terms of appearance, Pan Jinlian is not too reckless.
Seeing that it was about to be cold, the county was still well-informed and came out to play a round.
He urged like a good man: "Miss Ping'er shouldn't hurry up and serve tea, and if it's over, it's better to go to the back room to rest, but today I want to borrow your husband to have a good drink with us, you must not be resentful and blame the old man." ”
Qin'er had already prepared a tea cup for Li Bei'er on the side, only to see her holding the tea, kneeling on a temporary red cloth on the ground with her legs, hanging her head and saying timidly: "Give the boss a salute, please drink tea." ”
The county Cheng responded with a smile, took Ping'er's teacup, took a shallow sip, and said jokingly: "In the future, we must take care of Cao Dutou's diet and daily life, and we must add Ding to the Cao family's imports and strengthen the lintel, but we can't slack off." ”
Li Bei'er replied timidly, "Yes." ”
The county man immediately took out a red envelope from his arms, which was breaded with a few taels of broken silver, and handed it to the other party as a temporary meeting gift.
After toasting the tea of the mother's family, it will be the turn of the husband's family.
Li Bei'er handed over a cup of tea according to the gourd painting, "Give my sister-in-law a gift, and invite my sister-in-law to drink tea."
Which Pan Jinlian just stared at her coldly, and at a certain moment, her eyes couldn't hide the monstrous jealousy in her heart.
Just when Cao Jun thought that there was going to be a brutal overturning scene, Pan Jinlian suddenly pulled out the silver hairpin from her head and stuffed it into Li Bei'er's hand.
took the opportunity to sarcastically say: "You are not my brother and sister, you are just a concubine, don't forget your identity, when my uncle marries a wife in the future, your own eldest woman will teach you the rules." ”
Li Bei'er took the silver hairpin, and on the surface, it seemed that she had won a big red envelope and took a big advantage, but in fact, her heart was like someone had knocked over a cold water bottle, and it was not a taste.
Cao Jun hurriedly gestured to Qin'er with his eyes, and hurried to help Li Bei'er back to the back room.
Pan Jinlian's gaze fell on Cao Jun again, and the expression on her face was much more normal, but it was not as if she had swallowed an iceberg like just now.
"Uncle can go home and drink when he is free, but he can't take a concubine, so he forgets his brother and sister-in-law."
After speaking, he didn't wait for Cao Jun's reply, he wore a new red coat and left Cao Jun's new residence with a twist of his waist.
After Pan Jinlian's trouble, everyone suddenly felt that the wine was also less tasteful, the ceremony was also seen, the dishes were eaten, and the bride also saw it, and they got up to say goodbye for a while.
When it was Zhang Zhusi's turn, this guy pulled Cao Jun aside with a serious face, leaned over and asked, "Cao Dutou, do you still have the secret medicine in the treasure house of Ximen Mansion a few days ago?" If you can even me some, I won't ask for it in vain, ten taels of silver a piece, as much as you want. ”
Cao Jun was stunned for a moment and did not react.
There weren't many bottles and jars in the treasure chest that day, he divided two bottles, and it was said that the other party also had two bottles in his hand, so it was only a few days, and it wasn't enough?
What about eating gourds with rock sugar?
Even if it's an iron-clad man, he can't stand such a toss, right?
Seeing Cao Jun's eyes staring at him up and down, Zhang Zhisi couldn't help but sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly explained: "But it's not for me, but for a friend of mine, who has been married for three years and has no heirs, so he married two concubines, so that he can spread the branches and leaves, continue the incense, it is a matter of human relations, you must help with this favor." ”
Cao Jun looked at him a few times with doubts, only to find that after a few days of not seeing him, this guy's spiritual qi was a little shorter, as if he had been sucked away out of thin air.
is like those gamblers who haven't slept for a few days and nights, with deep eye circles, how can there be the calmness of the old scheming and unmoving.
But when it comes to human affairs, Cao Jun is not easy to refuse, but he just shirks and says that he will go home and look for it, and talk about it in a few days.
Zhang Zhisi was very grateful, as if he owed Cao Jun a great favor.
After sending Zhang Zhisi away, there were only four people left in the courtyard, in addition to Cao Jun and Li Bei'er, there were also county Cheng and Qin'er, who regarded themselves as their mother's family.
