After the wedding of San Lang and Qi Su'e, the Wang family, the Xie family, the Tao family, the Zhou family, the Zheng family, the Chen family, and the Huang family, who came to the county seat to attend the wedding of the two, were all left by Mrs. Ming.

Mrs. Ming was thinking that it was rare for relatives to come to the county seat, anyway, there was still a period of time before spring ploughing, so it was better to leave them in the county for a few more days.

They lived in the houses of the Ming family and the Yu family respectively as they had spent the previous two days.

Because of the large number of people, the Ming family had already cleaned another Sanjin courtyard not far from the county school for relatives to settle down in before the start of Saburo's wedding.

Under the assignment of Mrs. Ming, the old and young members of the Wang family, who are her mother's family, lived in the second-entry courtyard where the Ming family now lives, Mingyue's maternal grandfather's family and all the relatives of the two aunts' families lived in the house where Yu Jiayan and Mingyue lived daily, and the remaining families all lived in the three-entry courtyard across half an alley from the Ming family.

The three-entry courtyard was just bought by the Ming family last winter, because they thought that they would marry San Lang at the beginning of spring this year, so Mrs. Ming set aside the house to entertain relatives.

In the next few days, the three brothers of the Ming family took turns to accompany their relatives and Mrs. Ming and other female dependents to eat, drink and play in the county seat.

said that it was Tuyi, but in fact, the things that the Ming family gave away had nothing to do with the word "soil".

What they gave to each family, in addition to small and delicate jewelry, high-quality and inexpensive fabrics, some rouge gouache that county women especially loved, and special snacks that everyone wanted to eat after eating, were all kinds of novelties sold to Fuxing County by those foot merchants.

For example, the latest style of grate, bronze mirror, dressing box from the south, small fragrant pancreas with the fragrance of flowers, or porcelain dolls, bamboo dragonflies, small wooden horses, and nine links that children can't put down...

As for Mingyue and Yu Jiayan, the things they gave to each family were not treated equally like the Ming family.

In addition to the four gifts on the bright side (two pieces of fine cloth, two pieces of coarse cloth, two cans of tea, and two pastries), Mingyue also added a pair of red gold bracelets to her grandmother Mrs. Tao and Mrs. Zheng, who has always treated her as her own granddaughter, a pair of red gold hairpins for each of her two aunts and two aunts, a pair of silver bracelets with entwined branches for her eldest cousin Zheng Youyan, and two small silver bills of one or two weights for each of her two little cousins, several little cousins, and several little nephews.

Although these families did not send out the whole family, whether it was the Ming family or the Yu family, they would not leave behind the relatives who did not come when they gave gifts.

According to the number of people in each family, the things are handed over to the old ladies who come to attend Saburo's wedding, and the old ladies will naturally bring the things back to the younger generations who are left behind in their own families.

In addition, Mingyue also asked Xie to bring a lot of things to Huang Xiaoying, who stayed in Wulitun to raise a baby.

Before parting, Mingyue repeatedly told her third uncle, "... My eldest brother and I are not at home, so don't run to Xishan, and now our family is not short of this money. ”

Mingtang laughed, he lowered his voice, and complained to Mingyue with a distressed face, "You don't know, your third aunt is staring at me very closely." With her staring at me, I rarely even went to Nanshan. ”

Mingyue couldn't help laughing, "It seems that it is necessary for my grandmother to give my third aunt some hard-earned money." As far as your temperament is concerned, my third aunt will definitely have to work hard to see you. ”

Mingtang scratched his head, "You girl! Your third uncle is also the father of three children, can't you save me some face? ”

Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled, she likes to watch her third uncle's ducible show of affection, speaking of which, like him and Zhou's marriage, which can be regarded as a marriage formed because of "free love", Mingyue is the first time to see it in ancient times.

The family said goodbye, you said a few words to me, I said a few words to him, the time passed quickly, more than half an hour passed, and finally the old man Ming spoke, Mingyue and other people who stayed in the county town surrounded the old man Ming and others who were about to return to Wulitun to take a mule cart in the front yard.

The Wang family, who had been waiting for the Ming family for a long time, heard the movement and hurriedly came out of the house with large bags and small bags.

Ming Xu then instructed his subordinates to drive a mule cart to pick up other relatives of the Ming family in the courtyard of his house and the Yu family's house diagonally opposite the door.

"Young master, young master, Young Master Gu is here, saying that he came to send Cheng Yi to our old lady and old lady on the order of Mrs. Gu."

Ming Xu was busy, but his personal servant suddenly ran in from outside the gate out of breath.

"There are also Young Master Gu and Young Master Chi," the little guy Ping'an, who was sent by Yu Jiayan to help the Ming family, also ran in out of breath immediately, "The little one saw that they brought a lot of things. ”

When Ming Xu heard this, he hurriedly quickened his pace and walked out, and as he walked, he beckoned to Yu Jiayan and several of his younger brothers, "Come out with me to meet them." ”

Hearing this, several people immediately followed, and the old man Ming and the others, who were about to get into the car, were invited by Mingyue to the main hall of the courtyard to wait for a while.

The Wang family, who also heard Ming Xu's personal servant's shouting, looked at each other, and after a while, Mrs. Ming's nephew and daughter-in-law whispered to the Xie family with envy, "Sister-in-law, your family is really up." This county magistrate not only came to attend your family's banquet, but also sent her nephew to send Cheng and Cheng Yi to my aunt and uncle, which is walking around as relatives and friends. ”

Xie Shi's face was full of red light, and he seemed to be modest but said proudly, "We don't dare to do this." It's just that the children are reading with the magistrates. ”

Mrs. Ming's nephew and daughter-in-law had envious green eyes, "Oh, this is a great thing that others can't ask for!" With the teaching of the magistrate, a few children in your family are not properly examined and come back. ”

Xie Shi didn't dare to say this, she was a real person, although she was proud of her sons, she never bragged about it without any basis.

She waved her hand at Mrs. Ming's nephew and daughter-in-law, "Don't you dare to say that." Although the magistrate teaches well, this reading also depends on talent. ”

Mrs. Ming's nephew and daughter-in-law wanted to say more, but Ming Xu and the others had already welcomed a few of their classmates in.

Seeing his son walking towards this side with a large group of people from a distance, Xie Shi hurriedly ordered the little maid to serve tea and snacks to everyone.

Seeing this, Mrs. Ming's nephew and daughter-in-law had no choice but to quietly swallow back all the envy in her stomach.

With the same mood as her, there are also her parents-in-law, uncles and aunts, husbands, uncles, sisters-in-law and other large Wang families, but they did not talk about their envy.
