Chapter 263: See Acquaintances Again
Old Mrs. Jiang wanted to say more, but was deterred by Jiang Yan's sinister eyes, her purpose today was to come to the banquet and see her eldest grandson Jiang Wen, seeing that Jiang Yan didn't drive them away, she also stopped thinking about sitting with Old Man Jiang.
Zhang Yanzi took Mrs. Jiang and a few people to sit in the windward outlet outside the compound, as soon as they entered the table, the old lady pulled her two sons and began to look at the courtyard of the Lin family, looking at the towering floor and luxurious decoration, her eyes widened more and more.
As soon as the guests who ate the second table were seated, the dishes began to be served one after another, and with the experience of the first table, the big guys in the back began to be busy.
The cold wind whistled and blew people's faces painfully, and those guests who were still unwilling to leave after eating were gathered around the fire, gossiping about what they had seen and heard today, and reminiscing about the delicious food just now.
There was Zhang Yanzi staring at Mrs. Jiang, Jiang Yan was also relieved, she greeted the other guests, and was about to leave, when she saw a luxurious carriage slowly coming.
She frowned slightly, looking at the carriage that was not inferior to her own, and for a while she didn't know who it was.
Just when she was confused, the curtain of the carriage opened, and Liu Xiaoyue, who was dressed in silk and satin, jumped out of the carriage, followed by her parents also got into the carriage.
Compared with the last time they came to Linjia Village, the Liu family of three can be said to have changed a lot.
All three of them changed into a brand-new satin winter coat, lined with fine silk cotton, and when they walked, the fine strands of silk intertwined were even more delicate and beautiful.
Jiang Yan looked at it without a trace, and almost couldn't help laughing when she saw Liu Xiaoyue's hairpin ornaments.
This Liu Xiaoyue estimated that she had made a lot of money from Yu Xuan, and she specially asked people to send invitations to Lin Nan and Liu Xiaomeng's marriage today, and she thought that their family would not come, but she didn't expect that not only did she come, but she also came very arrogantly.
Looking at the nouveau riche momentum that the family couldn't suppress, Jiang Yan put on a smile and pretended to be surprised: "Yo, it turns out that your ex-in-laws are here, so it's hard for you to come to my house for dinner." ”
Saying that, she deliberately exaggerated the carriage and the outfit of the three people, and said in surprise: "Tut-tut, no wonder I didn't look down on my family Lin Nan before, it turns out that your family is so rich, this carriage, this hairpin and a good silk on it, it is really enviable......"
Jiang Yan's voice was deliberately raised, and for a while, the surrounding villagers and guests gathered one after another, and the big guy gossiped about everything.
Most of the peasant families are not wealthy, especially in the past few years, when the drought has been severe, many people can't take care of food, let alone care about what to wear, so the clothes of the big guys are more or less with patches of different fabrics.
"It's silk, isn't it? The material looks so beautiful, I've seen it in the cloth village. ”
"That's it, I've seen it in that shop, it's expensive, we can only look at these mud legs, and we can afford it."
"And that hairpin, it's all silver, what kind of wealth did this Liu Dazhuang's family make, why did they suddenly become so rich......
"It's so beautiful, this expensive dress looks different from our coarse linen, it looks like a lady from a big family."
There are a few people from Liujia Village in the crowd, they all know how poor Liu Dazhuang's family used to be, everyone is from the same village, they know the roots, his family suddenly made money, they are not only envious and jealous, but also confused and curious.
Liu Xiaoyue raised her head high, being praised by onlookers like this made her vanity greatly satisfied, and when her eyes fell on Jiang Yan, she was a little contemptuous and proud.
The fat aunt straightened her fat waist, shook the silver bracelet on her hand proudly, and said with a smile: "Xiaomeng is also raised by me, and now that she is getting married, she naturally wants to come to congratulate her as an elder." ”
Liu Dazhuang behind her immediately went to the carriage to move the congratulatory gift, it was a red-headed cloth, although the material looked average, but it was festive, Jiang Yan didn't expect them to send many valuable things, not empty-handed, it was all unusual.
"Old Song, it's hard for Xiaomeng's mother's family to come, hurry up and take them to sit at the table, greet them well, and let them see how rare my Lin family is to Xiaomeng's daughter-in-law."
Jiang Yan invited people in with a smile and beckoned to Lin Nan, who was still greeting guests in the crowd, "Second brother, you come to greet Xiaomeng's mother's family, don't make people think that we are negligent in etiquette." ”
When Lin Nan saw Liu Xiaoyue, the joy on his face dissipated instantly, but when he heard what his mother said, he had to walk over with a cold face and beckoned a few people to sit at the table.
And Liu Xiaoyue couldn't take her eyes off Lin Nan since she saw her, and she kept staring at him, today's Lin Nan is wearing a happy robe, and his tall figure and angular facial features are particularly eye-catching.
Compared with the last time they met, he seemed to be much more mature and more attractive to her.
"Brother Lin Nan......" Her soft and delicate voice sounded, and when Lin Nan's eyes looked over, she deliberately raised her slender neck, revealing her pitiful eyes, looking like an infatuated girl.
"Put away your hypocritical look, I don't eat your set, my mother asked you to come to my house for dinner, just to let you know how good our family's life is now, Xiaomeng suffered a lot when she was at your house, marry me in the future, I will treat her well, and I won't let her suffer a little more."
Lin Nan was a straight man, and he was extremely disgusted by Liu Xiaoyue's behavior, and without waiting for her to speak, he turned around and left, leaving only Liu Xiaoyue with an indifferent back.
Looking at this luxurious mansion like a manor, her jealous palms were pinched out of blood, thinking that today's banquet should have belonged to her, and such a house also had her share, her hatred for Liu Xiaomeng was even stronger.
Jiang Yan had a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, looking at the three members of the Liu family who stood out from the crowd at the banquet, and deliberately found a place with a better view to sit down.
At the banquet, a plate of exquisite and delicious delicacies was slowly served, but Liu Xiaoyue's face changed again and again, compared to her lack of food, Liu Dazhuang and his wife couldn't stop eating, and after two glasses of wine, they began to talk to the guests at the same table.
"I heard that the bride of the groom official is your niece, you are dressed so well, have you gained a lot of benefits from the Lin family." A drunken leper at the same table flatteringly accosted Liu Dazhuang.
Another young man also coaxed: "The Lin family is now the richest man in our ten miles and eight villages, this house is built in such a grand style, I am afraid that it is richer than the landlord's family in the town, you are relatives of the family, and you have also made a lot of money, right?" ”
The two people who spoke were both from Liujia Village, they both knew Liu Dazhuang's family, and they all thought that Liu Dazhuang's family had suddenly dressed so arrogantly today.
