Chapter 295: County Order
Two hundred catties of maltose, Hua Qingyan spent two days making all the fruit candy, with apple flavor, as well as Zhou Xiaoyan's favorite lychees and lychees, and her own favorite longan and strawberry, and the last kind of peach. Although there are still many fruits in Hua Qingyan's space, it will still be very eye-catching to take out so many at once.
The candies were packed into glass jars by Hua Qingyan one by one, and they were given to people one by one. But when she finished filling the sugar, she had almost used up the little jars. I was counting on Shen Ming to be able to study it as soon as possible.
After making fruit candy, Hua Qingyan went to Lao Hua's house for the last meal of the three-day flowing water banquet. The tables in the courtyard have been removed, and there are less than five tables at the door. Hua Qingyan led the two children, followed by Yu Jiamin and Hua Biluo, obviously dragging the family to eat a big family.
When Hua Qingyan arrived, the table was not yet full. Hua Qingyan saw Zhou Lizheng's family from a distance, and Mrs. Shen obviously saw her as well, and was standing up and waving at her. When she met her acquaintance, Hua Qingyan naturally didn't sit at another table, and squeezed with Zhou Lizheng's family, anyway, the two children were just hugged, but no, Mrs. Shen hugged the person as soon as she saw Xi'er.
Before the banquet started, Mrs. Shen teased the two children with the peanuts on the table, looking at her love for children, Hua Qingyan couldn't help but quip: "Aunt likes children so much, why don't you ask Brother Zhou to give birth to a grandchild for you quickly." ”
As soon as Hua Qingyan's words fell, the table full of little guys who didn't understand anything all laughed tacitly, and looked at Zhou Rong teasingly. This man who is so cold on weekdays also showed a little shame.
"Speaking of which, the eldest son's marriage is almost ready, and I have set a date with your aunt on the eighth day of the next month, which is a good day to get married." Mrs. Shen said with a smile, "At that time, you will have to ask Qing Yan to help with this banquet, the price is easy to say, in short, you will not suffer from Qing Yan." ”
Hua Qingyan hurriedly waved her hand: "Don't mention the price or anything, Uncle Zheng and Uncle Zhou have helped me a lot since I moved to this mountain village, if I didn't have your protection, I Hua Qingyan wouldn't know what life would be." Not to mention a one-day banquet, even if it is held for a month, I will not charge any money. ”
The Zhou family looked at each other, they didn't expect Hua Qingyan to be so generous, which made them feel a little bit like Hua Qingyan was wronged.
Zhou Lizheng put down his wine glass and waved his hand: "No, no, this yard is one yard, and it is better to separate business matters from private matters." You come to give gifts to us and we will accept them, and we have to pay for this banquet, so we can't let others think that we look down on the Hu family. ”
Seeing that this was Zhou Lizheng's insistence, Hua Qingyan didn't say anything more, thinking about waiting for Zhou Rong and Hu Baizhi to get married, and seeing if she could make a special gift.
Mrs. Shen pulled Hua Qingyan and chatted about the dishes at the wedding banquet, in the previous life, the Great Heavenly Empire was known as a foodie country, and even the dishes on the wedding banquet were varied. Hua Qingyan thought about it and found a lot of good meanings and suitable for the situation. There was a happy discussion here, Hua Qingyan felt that someone was passing behind her, and then she heard a cold snort.
"Hua Qingyan, you still have a face, it won't be that you want to rebuild the old with our old Hua family."
Hua Xi Yin and Yang stood behind Hua Qingyan in a strange manner, his eyes swept over Hua Qingyan like a scanner, and he didn't ignore one thing from head to toe. But the more I looked at Huaxi, the more jealous I became. Huaxi has been in the town for so long, and there are willows in the wind for food and clothing, and the quality of life will naturally be bad. Especially after the two lifters in the family, Liu Yingfeng treated her better, and the food and clothing were all according to Liu Mengying's example. She thought she was better than Hua Qingyan, but at a glance, she found that the gap between herself and Hua Qingyan was getting bigger and bigger.
Hua Qingyan is no longer the down-and-out fleeing criminal who was bullied. Now she already has a lot of money, and Yu Jiamin, who was born in the palace, has some food and clothing for her, whether it is jewelry or clothes, the regent who is far away in Yongjing but cares about his lover is properly arranged.
And Hua Qingyan doesn't care about these at all on weekdays, she wears whatever she wants, and Hua Biluo also got her jewelry, so that Hua Qingyan doesn't know how much her current outfit is worth. I don't know how beautiful I am now. lined with her more and more tranquil temperament, like the fairy stepping on the auspicious clouds.
Compared with the two, Huaxi is like a pheasant with peacock feathers forcibly inserted, miserable.
Realizing this, Huaxi's face darkened, but she thought about it, she was about to become Mrs. Liu, and her mother's family had two incoming people as backers. Wait for the uncle to stand firm, and then ask the uncle to help Liu Yingfeng buy an official to do, and then she will be the official wife, which Hua Qingyan can't ask for!
After comforting himself like this, Hua Xi glanced at Hua Qingyan with disgust and Shi Shiran left, making the people at the table a little inexplicable.
"What is this Huaxi trying to express?" Zhou Xiaoyan asked with a confused expression.
Hua Qingyan had already guessed Huaxi's distorted concept, pointed to his head and said matter-of-factly: "I'm afraid there is a pool of water here in Huaxi." ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, Hua Biluo took the lead in sneering, and then a table of people laughed one after another.
"Isn't it just water in your head?" Zhou Yao grinned sarcastically, Huaxi's coy posture was really disgusting to watch.
What made Zhou Yao feel even more disgusting was that the step-grandfather and son, the three-day banquet, the father and son appeared on the first day, and the reception was all people from the town, who was rich and powerful, they spared no effort to stammer, and those villagers didn't bother at all. Daqi has such a lift, it really loses the face and integrity of thousands of literati!
Zhou Yao is not yet sixteen, but he is a real young talent, full of economy and humble and polite, so he naturally looks down on people like Hua Jizu and them. But the green bamboo can still enter Zhou Yao's eyes.
When Zhou Yao said this, Hua Qingzhu happened to come over. He held a wine glass in his hand, toasting table by table, but it was rare to hesitate when he arrived at this table. Hua Qingyan happened to turn around, looking at each other, Hua Qingzhu pursed her lips and finally walked over with a wine glass.
"Li Zheng, Mrs. Shen, Brother Zhou." Hua Qingzhu said hello one by one, polite and humble, turned to Hua Qingyan's side, Hua Qingzhu was a little speechless, and finally Hua Qingzhu could only find an estranged and not graceful title: "Miss Qingyan, thank you for coming." Green bamboo first for respect! As he spoke, he drank all the wine from his glass.
In terms of age, Hua Qingzhu is actually the same age as Hua Qingyan, but Hua Qingzhu's month is older than Hua Qingyan, so Hua Qingyan has to call Hua Qingzhu brother. But Hua Qingzhu knew that his brother would never hear this voice, and it was their old Hua family who pushed Hua Qingyan far away.
Hua Qingyan raised her glass and took a sip very appreciatively, but she saw the smile on Hua Qingzhu's face that could not be concealed. Hua Qingyan was a little puzzled, this Hua Qingzhu had nothing to do with herself, at best, she had only seen her twice, of course this was the second time, but this Hua Qingzhu seemed to care about her very much, and Hua Qingyan had a feeling that her every move could affect his emotions.
However, this feeling made Hua Qingyan feel very bad, for no reason that a person cares about you so much, she will get goosebumps all over her body when she thinks about it.
However, Hua Qingyan's pimple was quickly suppressed by the joy of the old Hua family.
A burst of horses' hooves came from the entrance of the village, and soon they arrived at the door of Lao Hua's house, and the sound of horses' hooves and the neighing of horses drew everyone's attention away from the dishes, and they all expressed curiosity about the group of ten.
The ten horses were all good horses, and those people were even wearing official uniforms, which were obviously official errands from Fucheng. Hua Qingyan's gaze fell on the hand of the official who was the leader, where the red silk cloth was rolled up in a ball, obviously wrapped in something.
The officials turned over and dismounted and walked to the door of Lao Hua's house menacingly, looking at the table of delicacies, they couldn't help but say: "Yo, what about the banquet, it should indeed be celebrated, this flower family is soaring!" ”
The villagers looked at each other, and they didn't know how to face these officials for a while. The ordinary people have an innate fear of officials, so no one accosted them, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
Hua Qingzhu looked at the situation, said sorry to Hua Qingyan and walked up: "Dare to ask the officials what is the matter?" Why don't you sit down and have a drink? ”
The officials led by the official looked at Hua Qingzhu up and down, and saw that he was wearing a royal blue gown and a Xiucai hat and quickly determined his identity: "You are Hua Qingzhu Huaxiu, a good thing, we are here to report the good news today!" It's not too late to eat this glass of wine when you're done! ”
Annunciation? Hua Qingzhu was stunned, and soon thought of one thing. Rao is calm and a smile also appeared on his face, "The official will sit down first, and I will call the elders in the family!" ”
"Okay, okay, hurry up." The officials were also informal, and they sat down at the seat next to them, and they didn't dislike the food that had been passive. They are at ease, but they are suffering from the villagers at the table with them, holding chopsticks and not knowing whether to continue or what to do.
Fortunately, Hua Jizu and they came very quickly, and all the members of the Lao Hua family came out. Seeing that the officials were all overjoyed, Hua Jizu hurriedly greeted him: "The arrival of all the officials really makes my Hua family shine!" ”
"The man has been lifted." The official said with a smile, and then handed the red silk in his hand forward, "I have something happy to announce, you have to listen to it!" ”
"Yes, yes, please!"
The official opened the red silk to reveal the document inside, looked at the content of the document and read: "Today, the step-ancestor of the Hua family in the backing village of Chaoyang Town is excellent and humble, the high school lifts people, the court is virtuous, and the special seal of the flower step-ancestor is the county order of Qingfeng County, and Hua Zechuan is the assistant of his subordinate master, and he will take office immediately!" ”
