43, the big man arrived

Shanyue Town is located in the Central Plains, and weddings, funerals, and weddings have their own unique set of folk customs.

As far as marriage is concerned, generally the rich and powerful will choose to have a flowing banquet.

This kind of banquet is that anyone can come, you can eat when you come, and you can leave after eating.

Waves of people came, groups of people went to and fro, like flowing water, so it became a flowing water feast.

Therefore, Zhang Yan was not hindered in any way, and went directly to the wedding scene.

The Maiden Hotel has a total of seven floors, with a lobby on the first floor, a banquet hall on the second and third floors, and guest rooms on the fourth floor.

Although the decoration is not too luxurious, it is already a place to see the world for such a small town.

Zhang Youcai only has one son, Erzhuo, who loves him a lot, and he has bothered a lot over the years in order to marry a daughter-in-law for his son.

This will finally come true, and for him, it is natural to make a big deal.

So he directly wrapped all the first, second and third floors,

The first floor is used to entertain some individual guests and people who come to join in the fun.

The second floor is used to entertain people with some cards in Shanyue Town.

As for these three floors, they are divided into private rooms to receive those important people.

Zhang Yan found a random seat on the first floor and sat down, and Zhang Gai stood behind him, reluctant and did not dare to speak.

"You can sit down too, you won't be able to eat such delicious food in the future." Zhang Yan said with a smile.

Zhang Gai didn't understand what he meant, but he didn't dare to ask, so he could only sit next to him cautiously, but he didn't dare to eat the dishes on the table.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and the hall on the first floor was already full of all kinds of guests.

Although there are many people on the second floor, it is obviously a lot more empty, and when you look at it from the bottom, even the food code is completely different from the first floor.

There were a total of eight people sitting at Zhang Yi's table, all of whom looked to be fifty or sixty years old, although they were from a town, but they didn't have any acquaintances.

These people don't seem to know each other well.

But it didn't affect everyone's chatting at all.

"Let me tell you, those who can go up to the second floor are all people with heads and faces in Shanyue Town, you guys." The old man on the table pointed to a man with a gold necklace on the second floor and continued: "That's Wei Laosan, the only KTV in the town is opened by his family, good guy, it's really full every day." ”

"Look at that, Liu Si, this is a ruthless man, many fruit forests near our Shanyue Town were contracted by him."

The old man will point to this and say two sentences, and then point to that one and say two sentences, that look, with the momentum of pointing the country.

The group of people next to him don't seem to come out very often, and they all listen to it with relish, interjecting a couple of words from time to time and asking a few questions.

"Old man, the second floor is already a big man in our Shanyue Town, how good should the third floor be?"

Hearing this question, the old man laughed, and then pretended to be mysterious and said:

"As far as I know, those who can go up to the third floor are all big names in our county and even in the city, haven't you seen it, so far, there is no one who goes up to the third floor."

Everyone nodded slightly when they heard this, and praised the old man for knowing a lot.

At the entrance of each staircase, two people stood on the left and the right, and in front of them were placed this small table, on which the information of visitors and some bride price were recorded.

There is no bride price for eating on the first floor, and only on the second and third floors does the bride price be required.

So how many people are on the first floor, who sent what, everyone can see clearly.

The poorer you are, the more you like to compare.

In a poor rural area like Shanyue Town, there are not too many platforms for everyone to show themselves.

Gradually, weddings, funerals, marriages, marriages, and such grand occasions have become the best stage for families to compete for strength and relationships.

It's not a cow to have money yourself,

If you want people to really think that you are a cow, you have to be sociable enough.

Half a month ago, a man in the town who had been out for many years came home, and everyone thought that he didn't look like him.

But I never thought that

When they got married, they directly invited a second-rate star, which caused a lot of vibration in the local area.

Although there are many people who say afterwards that this star was hired for money,

But even then, this man can be regarded as having some fame in the local area.

"It is said that our mayor also invited a big man this time, but I don't know who it will be."

"This, it is said to be the deputy mayor of our city, you will know when the meeting comes." The old man took a sip of wine and enjoyed this state very much.

As soon as they heard that the deputy mayor was coming, not only Zhang Yan's table, but even several tables of people nearby gathered around.

Everyone rarely even goes out of the town, and is said to be the mayor, and even the county leaders are rarely seen.

In their memories, those city leaders are not much different from the ancient officials.

"Really? Some time ago, I heard that our mayor was going to be transferred to the city, it seems to be true? ”

"If the deputy mayor really comes to the wedding, it definitely can't be real."

"Bragging rights, I don't believe it."

The crowd was talking, and Zhang Yan was eating and did not participate in the discussion.

After a while, he ate a lot of the dishes on the table, simply closed his eyes, and recuperated himself.

He's waiting, waiting for everyone to expire,

When all those who are supposed to come have come,

Finally, I have a surprise for everyone.

........

"The deputy mayor has arrived!"

The doorman at the gate shouted, and the scene suddenly became lively.

The guests on the second floor were better, and most of the people on the first floor had already gotten up from their chairs and gathered around the door, for fear that it would be too late and they would no longer be able to see the lineup of the deputy mayor.

Zhang Youcai even took his family to the door early to greet him.

A moment later, a man in his forties, with a Chinese character face and a well-dressed man, was surrounded and walked in.

Except for a few people, almost everyone stood up to greet the Deputy Mayor.

"Old man, are you not going like this?" Zhang Yan looked at the old man curiously and asked.

On the whole table, only he, Zhang Gai, and this unknown old man were left.

"Hehe... Old man, I'm too old to walk. The old man smiled slightly: "The old man wants to ask you, why don't you go like this?" ”

"A mayor is not enough for me to greet."

"Ahem... The old man coughed twice: "What you said is crazy, but the old man has a faint feeling that you are really much more powerful than this mayor." ”

Zhang Yan looked up and looked at the old man.

From the very beginning, he felt that something was wrong with this old man.

This feeling is difficult to describe, somewhat similar to the feeling Zhang Yan felt when he first met Ying Ning.

The old man picked up his wine glass and drank it all: "Young man, I'll send you two sentences." ”

"You say."

"The first sentence, do good deeds alone, don't ask the original intention."

"The second sentence is to forgive and forgive."

Zhang Yan recalled these two sentences in his heart, and when he came back to his senses, the old man in front of him had disappeared.

At this moment,

The audience fell silent, the music played, and the wedding officially began.
