The next day came the day when the Song family set up a banquet.

Large and small tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans, the Song family borrowed a lot in the village.

The upper room, the large room, the second room, the third room, and the study are all equipped with tables, chairs and benches.

It adds up to about sixteen or seventeen tables.

Old Man Song was wearing new clothes, beaming, standing in the courtyard to greet the guests.

"Please come in, please come in!" Old Man Song said enthusiastically.

"Brother, congratulations!" The people in the village smiled and congratulated Old Man Song.

"Thank you! Thank you! Old Man Song clenched his fists.

"I'm happy to have everyone here." Old Man Song smiled, "Everyone eats and drinks well today." ”

"Third brother, take the big guy to find a seat!" Old Man Song commanded.

Not long after he was older, Song Lizheng came over with his eldest son, "Zude, congratulations!" In the future, our Song family will have to look at you! ”

Old Man Song hugged Song Lizheng's shoulder, "What kind of relationship do we two have, don't say that vain talk." ”

"What is the second brother to my family, I know in my heart, our Song family can't do without you, second brother!"

"I firmly support the second brother, as long as I am Song Zude, no one will want to shake the position of the second brother's patriarch." Old Man Song said meaningfully.

It can be regarded as a reassuring pill for Song Lizheng.

"Second brother didn't misread you!" Song Li was patting Old Man Song on the shoulder vigorously.

During this time, he was also very entangled, on the one hand, he was happy for Old Man Song, and on the other hand, he was afraid that Old Man Song would overpower him and affect his status as the patriarch of the Song clan.

Today, with the words of Old Man Song, Song Lizheng's heart was put down.

Sure enough, the reader has the right mind! For so many years, he didn't help in vain.

Old Man Song and Song Li looked at each other and smiled, and casually beckoned Song Chengzhong, "Boss, quickly take your second uncle into the upper room." ”

"In a moment, let's have a good drink." Old Man Song said.

"Okay!" Song Lizheng nodded briskly, "Chengzhong greets others, we don't need to entertain our own people." ”

As Song Li was talking, he went into the upper room by himself.

Old Man Song looked at Song Lizheng's back and smiled, how could he not understand Song Lizheng's heart.

It's just that for so many years, the relationship between the two families has been good, and Song Li is taking care of him.

It was impossible for him to be a petty official, so he went to compete with Song Li for the position of patriarch.

What's more, Song Lizheng's prestige in Songjia Village has always been very high, and it may not be possible to grab it, so it is better to make it clear generously, so as not to spoil the harmony of the two families.

"Old Song, congratulations!"

"Thank you! Thank you! Come in and sit, come in and sit! Old Man Song greeted them one by one.

"Master, there's a carriage outside...... Shiro shouted excitedly as he ran over with his little short legs.

The happiest person on this day, except for the old man, is Shiro.

Children like to join in the fun, and they don't have to work, they run around the yard and have fun.

Old Man Song listened to Shiro's words and showed a puzzled expression, Ma Ke is a precious thing, but it is not something that ordinary people can buy.

"Old man, go and have a look, let's just find a place by ourselves." The person who had the vision to see saw that Old Man Song was a guest, and immediately said.

"That's not good hospitality!" Old Man Song lost his money, and walked out of the courtyard quickly.

At the gate of the courtyard, sure enough, a carriage was parked.

Brown-black horses, carriages made of fine elm.

The groom was helping a thin middle-aged man about forty years old to get out of the carriage.

"Master Qian!" Old Man Song shouted in surprise, walked over quickly, and helped the groom to help the people dismount.

After standing up, Master Qian clenched his fists, "Brother Song, congratulations!" ”

"Master Qian can come, our Song family is shining! Master Qian, come in and sit. Old Man Song took Master Qian to the courtyard with a happy face.

The only contact he had with Master Qian was when he was promoted to Yicheng.

He really didn't expect that Master Qian would come to their house.

Old Man Song was pleasantly surprised, but also a little uneasy, isn't there something wrong?

Master Qian is the person who has seen the scene and is the best at observing words and feelings, at this time, Old Man Song was worried in his heart, how could he not see it.

casually said, "Brother, I think Brother Song is a good person, and I want to make friends with Brother Song, so I came uninvited, Brother Song won't blame, right?" Master Qian said with a smile.

"How could it be! How could it be! Old Man Song waved his hand again and again, and his hanging heart was also put down.

A new question arose in my heart, Master Qian looked at others well and deliberately came to make friends with him, is this possible?

settled down, "It is a great honor for the Song family to be able to come, Master Qian wants to drink a few more drinks today." "Old man Song, led Master Qian into the upper room.

Master Qian's groom handed the congratulatory gifts, two boxes of pastries, and two muslin cloths to the Song family.

The Song family led the seats.

"Who's that? Dressed in a full satin. ”

"I heard that it's the master of the county."

"That's working under the county master, big man! That's a big one! ”

"That man still came in a carriage, tsk, he's really rich!"

"The Song family is not ordinary now! It's all big guys. ”

Master Qian's appearance caused quite a stir in this small village.

The people in the village talked to each other.

............

The yard is bustling, and the kitchen is busy.

The Sun family, the Ye family, the two daughters-in-law of the old Cui family, and the Chunsheng daughter-in-law who took the initiative to help, even the Zhou family went into battle in person.

On the two large stoves, pork ribs are made and stewed beans, and steamed buns are steamed on them.

Stir-fry on the small stove, scrambled eggs with cucumbers.

It is personally managed by Zhou, fried in a pot, and served out one after another.

Song Qingyuan's several girls took two plates of dishes and put them on the table.

This side clears the pot, and the cut vegetables are immediately handed over there, and Zhou continues to fry.

Pork stewed pork ribs, stir-fried large intestine with sharp peppers, scrambled eggs with cucumbers, eggplant stew, blood sausage with leeks, fried lentils with shredded pork, cabbage tofu, and stewed blood sausage with cabbage.

Eight dishes, one after the other, are served on the table.

"It's all hard dishes!" The villagers at the table couldn't help but sigh.

In the past, when people do happy events, they are all four meat and four vegetarian dishes, how can there be so many meat dishes.

"The old Song family is rich now!" The villagers whispered.

"I heard that the straw hat is selling expensive, and it makes a lot of money." Someone said sourly.

"Didn't we also earn a few pocket money! Be content! "Someone advised.

"Hey! We don't have this life, we burn the wheat straw every year, and no one comes up with the idea of making straw hats out of wheat straw. ”

"It's still the scholar who is smart and has an active brain." Someone sighed.

"That's not it, if the conditions are good in the future, I still have to send my children to school, I don't know if there will be a great transformation one day." As soon as these words came out, the people around nodded in agreement.

"Why are you stealing food..... a burst of exclamations rang out in the small courtyard.
