Chapter Eighty-Five
"Eight taels of silver? Why don't you grab it! Where can two vases be so expensive, slanderous? As soon as Qian heard the price of the vase, he exploded on the spot.
Just now Zhang Tongtong was also frightened by a vase thrown by Zhang Fugui, which will ease his senses before he understands how thrilling it was just now, if Liu Meiniang didn't pull her, the vase would fall on her, now the weather is hot, and she wears less, and the vase will definitely be smashed if it is broken.
"Slander? Why didn't the fifth aunt say that we slandered people just now, Fugui obviously broke a vase, and you still want us to give the second one, and swore that Fugui would not be broken, and now she says that we are slandering! ”
"Rich and young people, why are you so unforgiving to a child!" Although Qian's tone softened, the words he said still made people angry.
"Sister-in-law, Tongtong, this is what my mother did wrong, you adults don't remember villains, don't be angry, I will teach him well when I go back, today is a good day for you to move to a new house, how can you be unhappy, sister-in-law, don't be angry." Zhang Peony came out to play a round.
Liu Mei is angry, but it's hard to say anything, Zhang Mudan said so, if she investigates it again. If you spread it, you will really say that she is making a big fuss.
"What's going on?" Zhang Li came in through the door
"Mother!" Zhang Tongtong's eyes turned red when he saw Zhang Li. Zhang Li looked at the mess on the ground, and knew that Zhang Tianhua and his wife had done something again.
"Ugh." Zhang Li sighed. If she could, she didn't want to associate with these relatives, but if she didn't, the village gossip would drown them.
"The banquet is ready, the dishes are ready, let's come out and eat quickly." Zhang Li secretly patted the back of Zhang Tongtong's hand to comfort him.
When everyone heard Zhang Li say this, it was not good for them to continue the stalemate, especially Zhang Tianhua and his wife, who even borrowed the slope to get off the donkey.
"Second sister-in-law, then hurry up and eat and leave, I'm hungry for a long time." Qian hurriedly said.
"Dandan, Tongtong, let's go out to eat." Zhang Li didn't want to care about these things, seeing Zhang Tongtong's red eyes, she knew that her daughter had been wronged, but on a day like today, the other party was Zhang Tongtong's elder, and Zhang Li could only give up.
"Tongtong, don't cry." Zhang Li, who was walking behind Zhang Tianhua and his wife, touched Zhang Tongtong's head and said softly.
"I didn't cry." Zhang Tongtong turned around awkwardly.
"Dandan, you go out to eat, I'll clean up." Liu Meiniang pulled Zhang Dandan up, the vase fragments were so sharp, how could she let Zhang Dandan clean it up, what if she cut her finger.
"Sister-in-law, the fifth aunt is too bad." Zhang Dandan said with a crying voice.
"Well, it's just one day, just wait for them to leave, and we won't play with them again." Liu Meiniang touched Zhang Dandan's head and comforted.
"Hmm." Zhang Dandan nodded heavily.
Under Liu Meiniang's compulsion, Zhang Dandan stood aside and watched Liu Meiniang clean up the living room.
Zhang Jihan had already gone outside to entertain guests.
Finally able to eat, a large table was placed closest to the house, Zhang Jihan took the village chief to sit on the top of this table, and the rest of the seats were also sat by very respected people in the village.
Qian on the table next to him was unhappy again.
"You didn't even arrange us on the main seat, what does Liu Meiniang mean by this?" Qian said with a drop of chopsticks.
Zhang Tianhua and Zhang Peony didn't say anything, they acquiesced to Qian's words.
Zhang Fugui couldn't care so much, and kept tossing up and down on the stool.
"Liu Meiniang! Liu Meiniang! Qian shouted with a cold face.
"Fifth aunt, what's wrong?" Liu Meiniang was toasting the village chief, put down the wine glass and asked.
"Why don't you put us on the throne?" Qian glared at Liu Meiniang fiercely.
"Fifth aunt, the people sitting on the main seat are all respected elders in Liuhe Village, and there is really no way to arrange you and the fifth uncle at this table."
Liu Meiniang told the truth, and the village chief's table was full of people with heads and faces in the village, the village chief and his wife, as well as Xiucai and Mr. Private School in the village.
"Aren't there still two empty slots?" Qian asked, pointing to the two vacant seats on the table.
"......" Liu Meiniang rolled her eyes when she heard Qian's words, those two positions were obviously her and Zhang Jihan's, Zhang Jihan went to toast table by table, she was called over by Qian, and only then did two seats be vacated.
"I don't care, we are going to sit on the throne today, my fifth uncle and I are here to give you face, who in this family wants to come, it is me and your fifth uncle who saw that you were pitiful, so we came to cheer you on, what do you mean now!" Qian once again slammed his chopsticks on the table to express his dissatisfaction.
"Then you don't come!" Liu Meiniang didn't even look at Qian after speaking, and went straight back to her seat.
Qian was furious.
"Mother, forget it," Zhang Peony pulled Qian's sleeve.
"Am I late?" Suddenly, a mellow male voice came, and everyone looked over, only to find that a gorgeous carriage was parked in front of Liu Mei's mother's house.
Next to the carriage stood a beautiful woman in green, and on the carriage, a boy in purple clothes looked at this side with a smile.
"Boss Xue!" Liu Meiniang saw that it was Xue Wuyi. Liu Meiniang thought that Xue Wuyi was just talking that day, but she didn't expect that she really came, the county seat was so far away from the village, Xue Wuyi would be able to rush over, and she must have set off early in the morning.
Liu Meiniang's heart suddenly swelled with a little emotion, she had always felt that a profiteer like Xue Wuyi was good to stay away from in addition to cooperation, but she didn't expect it to ......
"Mei Niang, your house made it easy for me to find, I asked several people with Luluo to find your house." Xue Wuyi jumped down from the carriage and said.
"Yes, Mei Niang, my son and I searched for a long time to find it." Lu Luo stepped forward and grabbed Liu Meiniang's arm affectionately and said.
Everyone who was eating also raised their heads and looked at Xue Wuyi and the others.
In their opinion, people dressed like Xue Wuyi and Luluo are the so-called nobles, but when did Liu Meiniang meet the nobles?
It seems that the Zhang family is really going to get up, not only building a new house, but also getting acquainted with nobles.
At this time, Zhang Mudan looked at Xue Wuyi without blinking.
She had never seen such a good-looking man, and he was good-looking and well-dressed.
But why did that man only look at Liu Meiniang and not look at her.
"Sister Luluo and Boss Xue are hard, come, sit down quickly." Liu Meiniang led Xue Wuyi and Luluo to the village chief's table.
"But the boss of the Caiyi Pavilion?" Zhang Youwen can become the village chief There is also a certain reason, he squinted his eyes and looked at Xue Wuyi for a while, and then recognized Xue Wuyi's identity.
When he entered the city before, he met Xue Wuyi twice, although he only glanced at it from a distance, but Zhang Youwen still remembered the temperament on Xue Wuyi.
Therefore, as soon as Liu Meiniang opened her mouth to call Boss Xue, Zhang Youwen determined Xue Wuyi's identity.
"Who is this?" Xue Wuyi asked hesitantly, he didn't expect anyone else to know him.
"This is our village chief." Liu Meiniang explained.
"Village Chief." Xue Wuyi bent down slightly and arched his hand, no matter what aspect it was, he should also give a salute to the village chief.
"Xue Gongzi, don't dare, please take a seat." Zhang Youwen hurriedly got up and helped Xue Wuyi.
directly let go of the main seat and let Xue Wuyi sit down.
Xue Wuyi saw that he couldn't excuse himself, so he sat down.
The rest of the people at the table saw that the village chief was respectful to this purple-clothed boy, and probably knew that this boy was a noble person they couldn't afford to mess with, so they got up and left the table one after another.
On the table, there were Zhang Li's family, Liu Meiniang, Zhang Jihan, the village chief and Xue Wuyi Luluo left.
Zhang Dandan and Zhang Tongtong, two children, couldn't sit still, and had already gone to play with other little girls in the village.
"Mei Niang, your new house is good." Xue Wuyi looked around, looked at the surrounding furnishings, and admired it sincerely.
"Boss Xue has won the prize." Liu Meiniang picked up the wine and poured wine for Xue Wuyi.
"Mei Niang, I'll just come." Luluo was ready to take the wine and wine glass in Liu Meiniang's hand.
"Sister Luthos, you are a guest today, I will pour the wine." Liu Meiniang quickly poured two glasses of wine and put them in front of Xue Wuyi and Luluo.
"Mother, this is Xue Wuyi, the owner of Caiyi Pavilion in the county, Xue Gongzi, this is my mother-in-law." Liu Meiniang introduced the two sides to each other.
"Hello aunt." Xue Wuyi stood up and saluted.
"You're welcome." Zhang Li said.
She had been hearing Ji Hanmei Niang mention Xue Wuyi before, but she really had nothing to do with Xue Wuyi, the only two times were to go to the county town to send silk and vegetables together, and when she saw Xue Wuyi from afar, she didn't say a few words. Unexpectedly, Xue Wuyi came today, Zhang Li looked at Xue Wuyi and then at Liu Meiniang, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what if he ......
"Boss Xue, you can come today, Mei Niang's house is full of flowers." Liu Meiniang didn't like to chew words at first, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was more suitable for the four words Peng Shenghui.
"Mei Niang is polite, but I have called you by your name, didn't you see Boss Xue and Boss Xue's shouting that I was outside?" Xue Wuyi took the wine in Liu Meiniang's hand and drank it all.
"That's good, no clothes."
"Sister Pothos, Mei Niang also toasts you."
"Mei Niang is polite." Luluo and Liu Meiniang touched their glasses and drank the wine in the glass.
"Oh, by the way, this is a gift, congratulations on your housewarming."
Xue Wuyi made a look, and another guy who came with him held a big box in both hands and handed it to Liu Meiniang.
"You can come, what kind of gift will you take?" Liu Meiniang said with a little blame.
To be honest, Xue Wuyi helped her a lot. If you can't find Xue Wuyi to cooperate. Her fabric drawings can also be sold. But it will never make as much money as it does now.
The main thing is to borrow the light of the three words of Caiyi Pavilion.
I have to say that Xue Wuyi cooperated with her, and she really didn't take advantage of him, so Liu Meiniang was able to earn the first pot of gold so quickly and build a new yard for the Zhang family.
"Etiquette should not be abolished." Xue Wuyi said with a smile. Liu Meiniang stopped twisting, took the things Xue Wuyi brought, and asked Zhang Jihan to put them back.
In fact, the people from the village brought gifts, but most of them brought some kind of egg buds, and some of them brought a little cloth.
Liu Meiniang really didn't care if she didn't give a gift, she originally invited everyone to come just to have a lively time, but thinking of the mountains of eggs in the kitchen, Liu Meiniang felt a little tired, because for a long time in the future, their family may have to eat eggs every day.
"Okay, in that case, I'm not going to be polite to Wuyi, you guys drink first, I'll go to the kitchen and let them serve the food." Liu Meiniang got up and left.
After a while, the little daughter-in-law, the eldest girl, and some young men rushed in with vegetables and fish.
"Folks, eat and drink well." Zhang Jihan said a word loudly when he served food at each table, and the joy in his voice could be heard.
If someone had told him before that the Zhang family could build such a good house, Zhang Jihan would not believe it, but he didn't expect it to happen, could Zhang Jihan be unhappy?
"It's a chic dish." Pothos said with a smile as she looked at a table of dishes.
The dishes on the table are all set by Liu Meiniang, not only steamed hairy crabs, braised prawns, but also some dishes that were only available in the previous life, as well as some cold dishes and desserts made by Liu Meiniang with sweet potatoes and fungus, which not only look very good-looking, but also very delicious to eat.
"No clothes, village chief, sister green pothos, try it quickly and see if it tastes good." Liu Meiniang greeted a few people.
"Well, this dish is good, I have never eaten such a delicious dish in the capital."
Xue Wuyi said pertinently.
"Yes, Mei Niang, did you make this dish? As long as you have a lot of ideas, I have never eaten anything so delicious. The pothos was full of praise for the sweet potato puree made by Liu Meiniang.
Liu Meiniang made sweet potato puree, adding cane sugar and a small amount of soy milk milk to make it look like a cake in her previous life, which was especially loved by women.
Even the pothos ate a lot.
Zhang Mudan looked at Liu Meiniang's table talking and laughing, especially when she saw Xue Wuyi and Liu Meiniang talking and laughing, a strong jealousy rose from the bottom of her heart, and she walked directly to Liu Meiniang's table.
