Early the next morning, Widow Shen gritted her teeth and sent twenty taels of silver to Lizheng's house, saying with a smile that this was a money for setting up a feast to invite the people in the village to eat and invite the opera troupe.

Where is Lizheng willing to collect? pushed away and refused, repeatedly saying that the village public money was enough, this was a great joy in the village, and the village should pay this money.

How many villages have come up with this money, but unfortunately they don't have this blessing.

Li Zheng naturally knew that Widow Shen had received a lot of gifts, and there was also a lot of money. However, Lu Jinhe is going to Beijing after the New Year, what kind of place is Beijing? It is certain that the cost is large, and there are also exchanges between scholars, gatherings, visiting famous teachers for guidance, etc., which one does not require money?

Widow Shen's family knows about it, where is she willing to accept her?

Widow Shen didn't want to go, she wanted to give it alive or dead, and finally left ten taels, Fang reluctantly gave up, and still brought ten taels back.

Li Zheng handed over the silver to his daughter-in-law and said, "You put it away, go back and seal a red envelope of twenty taels, and give it to Sister-in-law Shen in two days!" ”

Li Zheng's daughter-in-law promised to put it away.

If it was in the past, she would naturally be reluctant, but now her son is about to have an official status, and he doesn't worry about having no money to spend in the future, so he doesn't take this in his eyes.

What's more, her two sons followed Qiao Xiaoru to work in the city, and they earned more than three hundred taels in total, and naturally they will have to earn in the future, and she is also a lot more generous.

You must know that at the beginning, she knew that Lu Jinhe's ranking was far above her son, and she was still a little unhappy in her heart, and Li Zheng told her a beating.

said that this is a good thing, both of them are promising, from the same township and village, and they can support each other in the future, so that she must not do anything to make Widow Shen's mother and son respond.

Li Zheng's daughter-in-law actually belongs to the kind of character with few tendons, which is essentially similar to the Yang family, but she has always listened to Li Zheng's words, which is much stronger than the Yang family.

In fact, holding this banquet and inviting the opera troupe to sing the opera, said that it was paid by the village public, but in fact, it was not paid, almost all of it was paid by Qiao Xiaoru.

Qiao Xiaoru didn't want that boiling reputation, and the people in the village didn't know about it, only Li Zheng, the patriarch, and the village elders knew.

Li Zheng and the patriarch village elders couldn't help but glance at Qiao Xiaoru a few times because of this, although they didn't say it clearly, the meaning was obvious: if there was anything to help in the future, they would help her.

The money was in place, and after discussing with the village elders, he called seven or eight young people and began to get busy with the matter.

Ask the chef in charge of the spoon, go to the street to see all kinds of chicken, duck, fish and other dishes booked to be delivered to the day, borrow dishes, chopsticks, stools, tables, cauldrons, etc., and tell the village that when the time comes, let the daughters-in-law of each family come to help wash the vegetables, wash the dishes, cook the rice......

This was a great joy of good fortune, and the squires and rich men were happy to borrow things, and everything went very smoothly.

Qiao Xiaoru and Silly Fujun went into the city to find Qiao Huaide and others, and asked them to arrange everything in the workshop in advance, and when it was the right day, they would go back to be lively.

This was a great joy for the whole village to feel very honored, and naturally everyone did not want to be absent, so they all smiled and agreed.

So in the past two days, many people came out of Luqiao Village at once, all of them were relatives of various families, daughters-in-law's mothers' families, etc., and it was very lively.

Such a big event, everyone wants to come and see the fun.

In the future, when the two masters become officials, they can boast to others: I have seen and eaten together with such officials!

What's more, there are feasts to eat and dramas to watch, and you won't suffer if you come, right?

Li Zheng made a slight calculation, and had no choice but to ask someone to go into the city and order another batch of rice and grain dishes.

In such a good day, even if the food is not so abundant, there is absolutely no reason to drive people out.

Naturally, there are very few people in this world who are really faceless and skinless, and even the relatives from each family are very close relatives, and there are few people who are far away.

And people from neighboring villages come to play at most at night, and there are basically no cheeky people who come to eat.

Otherwise, I'm afraid Li Zheng will cry.

Unexpectedly, Lu Mei also rushed back by car the morning after Lu Jinhe and Qiao Huaizhi came back, bringing Zhao Meijia.

Lu Mei's mother and daughter still live in the big house, but they still have the cheekiness to come to the third room to find Tian, and ask Tian to accompany her to Widow Shen's house to send congratulatory gifts with a smile.

Tian couldn't refuse this request, so he had to accompany him.

With this as an excuse, and with the Tian family as a companion, Widow Shen couldn't turn people away, so she had to smile and politely invite her into the house to greet her.

To the relief of Widow Shen and the Tian family, Lu Mei did not mention the matter of the two families being married.

Only when she figured it out, a big stone in Widow Shen and Tian's hearts fell to the ground.

After returning from Widow Shen's house, Lu Mei went to the third room to sit down and talk to Tian, and then went back to the big room.

It was inevitable that I glanced at the newly completed three-room house by the way, and when I saw that it was very magnificent, my heart couldn't help but be sour again.

Back in the big room, Widow Shen smiled at Lu Xiaoquan and said, "It's a pity that the eldest brother and daughter-in-law are not here?" Why don't you ask Huaiyin to go to Yangjia Village to pick her up? She's been back to her parents' house for a long time, why hasn't she come back yet? Did something happen? ”

Lu Mei didn't know about the Yang family's vicious and insidious calculation of Lu Xing'er, but with her understanding of the Yang family, she also guessed that the Yang family must have made a big mistake, otherwise Lu Xiaoquan would not have sent her back to her parents' house, and she herself would definitely not be willing to go.

Needless to say, it must have been a quarrel with Sanfang again, only Qiao Xiaoru's dead girl refused to let go of her elders. Otherwise Yang Shiyan would be like this?

What could it be? Lu Mei has always been very curious, and she also asked tentatively, but Lu Xiaoquan didn't want to say, and she didn't ask again, but this time, she was looking forward to Yang's return.

Lu Xiaoquan's expression became a little unpleasant when he heard her words, but what did the truth tell him? Even if he is facing the eldest sister, he has no face to say!

At the moment, he squeaked: "Don't hide it from the eldest sister, that mother-in-law just owes a lesson, don't worry about her, let her stay at her mother's house, and I'll take her back after the New Year!" She should also be restrained and learn some lessons, otherwise she will always be confused. ”

Lu Mei secretly rolled her eyes, and saw that Lu Xiaoquan still refused to reveal anything and didn't ask any more, only sighed: "It must have been provoked by Qiao Xiaoru again, right?" This niece and daughter-in-law is good at everything, but she is too mean and stingy, but she is generous to outsiders and cares about her own people. ”

He also said: "The time for the Yang family to go back is not short, I see, it's almost over, and you can come back!" Anyway, she is also old, and she is a person with grandchildren, so she doesn't give her face, and she is not afraid of outsiders telling jokes? ”
