Chapter 85
The banquet started. Shen Chengguang wanted to sit at Li Zhewei's table, but there were already nine people sitting at that table. The next seat is obviously for the host Shen Chengyao.

It's not that Shen Chengguang doesn't understand this truth, but he wants to establish friendship with Li Zhewei, and he thinks that as long as he has friendship with Mr. Li, Mr. Li's grandfather is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. If he has friendship with Mr. Li, what's more, if he has friendship with Mr. Li Bao'er can marry into Li's family, and Wen'er will be elected in the future. Finding a good official position is not a matter of one word.This is a major event for the Xingwang family. Everyone in the family has always put this matter first. Thinking of this, Shen Chengguang sat down.

The people at the table were chatting and waiting for Shen Chengyao to sit down, but when Shen Chengguang sat down, they all paused and did not speak again.

"Master Li..." Shen Chengguang wanted to talk to Li Zhewei with a smile on his face.

"Who are you? This is reserved for the master's house!" Li Zhewei has never had a good face towards people who always flatter him in front of him, but today he is here for a wedding banquet. This is Uncle Shen's house, and this is his Brother, it's ugly. Uncle Shen's face is also ugly. He can't go too far, but this person is too rude and shameless. Anyone can tell that this seat is reserved for the owner.

Shen Chengguang's face froze, they had all met each other just now, but it's okay, the nobleman is so forgetful, he was going to introduce himself again.

"Brother, why are you still here? Dad is looking for you!" Shen Chengyao returned to his seat after arranging things, and found Shen Chengguang sitting in his seat, so he could only remind him tactfully.

"Dad, what do you want from me?" Shen Chengguang raised his head and said dissatisfiedly, really, didn't you see that he was talking to Mr. Li!

"I don't know either, go and have a look!" Shen Chengyao was also a little dissatisfied with this big brother because of Yun'er, and it was even worse now.What is it all about, you said you took my seat, I kindly reminded you to leave, and you are still too lazy to leave, what is this!If you really open your mouth to drive him away, you will also have a reputation of being disrespectful to your elder brother. If you don't let him go, you can't do well. Others will definitely think that you are a second-hand guy, and you can't even sit in the chairman's seat at your own banquet. on the table.

Shopkeeper Yao was really pissed off by Shen Chengguang, and he was too worried about his younger brother. He said bluntly: "Brother Shen, you didn't go when your father came looking for you. This is really unfilial."

Shen Chengguang was upset after hearing this, who is this person, who is he, dare to take care of his own affairs!

"I said who are you..." Why are you meddling in your own business here!

Before he had time to say the second half of the sentence, Shen Chengzu hurried over and pulled Shen Chengguang up: "Brother, Dad is waiting for you over there. He said someone is looking for you, so go and have a look!"

Shen Chengzu worked all year round, and his strength was much stronger than that of Shen Chengguang, so he just pulled Shen Chengguang up from his seat and took him out.

After Shen Chengyao sat down, everyone didn't mention what happened just now, and then they were quickly attracted by the delicious food on the table. The dishes on the table were already well prepared, but they were still swept away, making Shen Chengyao worried that his family was It's not that there are too few dishes!

He looked around and found that many people were belching and praising the delicious food, so he was relieved: it turned out that it was so delicious that they ate it up.

"Brother Shen, which cook did you invite for the banquet at your house? This dish is even more delicious than the taste restaurant in the county!"

"It's the cook from the restaurant in town."

"It's not about the cooking skills, it's about the dishes." One dish he ate was not cooked enough, and the seasoning was not the best, but it was even better than the one he had eaten that was cooked enough!This shows that the ingredients themselves are good enough and fresh enough.

In the afternoon, the guests all left one by one.

After all, Li Zhewei couldn't stay, he was entangled by his servant and sister, he had to go back and tell his wife if he said anything, and wait for her to agree.

In the evening, the family counts today's congratulatory gifts.

What Shangguan Xuanyi gave away were: two jade hills, three boxes of lake brushes, one end of inkstone, one end of Helan inkstone, one end of Chengni inkstone, a box of Mingqian Longjing, an embroidered screen for a hundred sons to send blessings, two pieces of makeup satin, and two pieces of Sichuan brocade.There is also a pot of peonies in full bloom.

Di Zhaowei gave a set of white jade tea sets, a set of blue and white porcelain tableware, a pair of porcelain vases with lions rolling hydrangea balls, a set of embroidered screens with blooming and rich flowers, two bolts of brocade, and two bolts of brocade.

Li Zhewei sent a jade ornament, four bolts of silk and satin, and three sets of high-quality pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

Meiji Jie gave it, a pair of blue and white jade pots and spring vases, and the same three sets of high-quality pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

There are also gifts from Uncle Fu, Shopkeeper Yao, Guanshi Tong, Manager Chen, the village head, other relatives and friends, and villagers. Xiaoer has registered them one by one in order to facilitate future exchanges of favors.

When ordering Li Zhewei's congratulatory gift, Mrs. Liu remembered what she had heard, and asked Shen Chengyao, "Did uncle sit in your seat at dinner today and refused to leave?"

After hearing this, Jing Hao immediately told the situation in detail.

Xiao'er glanced at Jing Hao appreciatively. It is really rare to be able to express a matter so clearly and in an orderly manner at such a young age!

Mrs. Liu shook her head after hearing this, "He said that he is a big shopkeeper, he has read so many books, how can he speak and do things worse than a farmer!"

"Mother, some farmers are honest, hardworking, and kind, and they are incomparable."

"Yes, just like my father," Yun'er said with a smile.

"Father and uncle are really incomparable, father is much better."

"You children! Don't talk about your elders behind your back." Shen Chengyao reprimanded helplessly.

Yun'er stuck out her tongue.

"This time I moved, I didn't expect to receive such a generous gift. These pens, inks, papers and inkstones are for you three brothers. You can choose one you like." Liu sorted the things in the warehouse, and then pointed out Said with the pile of pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

Jing Rui asked Brother Ri to pick, and both of them let Jing Hao, who was the least, pick first.

"Mother, it's almost New Year's Eve, and we have to prepare New Year's gifts." Xiao'er dried the ink, closed the booklet and put it away.

Xiao'er thought for a while about who needed New Year's gifts, and then began to make a list of gifts.After finishing the list, I will show it to Mrs. Liu to see if there is anything that needs to be added or subtracted. Tomorrow, I will start preparing New Year gifts for each family and send them out!
Shen's old house
Shen Chengguang became angry when he thought of not being able to talk to Li Zhewei today, "The third child is too unreasonable. I am his eldest brother. I know Mr. Li and I won't introduce him to him, and he won't cooperate when I create opportunities myself!"

Lan thought of what she saw at Shen Chengyao's house today, the whole set of high-quality pear wood furniture in the main room in the front yard, which was very imposing, the leather sofa in the backyard, all kinds of decorations, warm and unique, the glass windows, the mahogany bookcases and desks in the study, The special hut, and the cloth for curtains, the cloth is even better than what she wears, how did the third family become so rich all of a sudden?

Lan said what he saw and thought.

"Not only that, but also the flower house, the whole room is made of colored glaze, and there are many flowers in it, which are also very precious," Shen Baoer wanted one after thinking about it.

"There is also a greenhouse on the wasteland, which is also made of glazed roof. It is very large, about an acre of land. I heard it is used to grow vegetables!" Shen Chengwen added.

"The third child is too unkind. He must have been hiding it before the separation, and he became rich overnight after the separation." Sure enough, it was Shen Zhuang's own, and he had the same idea.

"It would be great if I could know how the third family makes money." Lan frowned, thinking of a way.

"Mother, I have a solution!" Shen Baoer said thinking of something she saw before.

"What way?" Shen Chengguang's eyes lit up.

"Didn't dad have a good friendship with Zhang Butou?..."

Shen Baoer made them get closer, and whispered what she saw and planned.
