six-fingered peasant girl

Chapter 161 Wedding Banquet
On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, before dawn, Su Liu could hear the faint sound of firecrackers in the distance, and thought for a while in a daze, guessing that Su Fusheng had started to go to meet his relatives.

Close your eyes and squint for a while, you can hear noises from your own house, I'm afraid it's Mrs. Chen also getting up to prepare various matters such as worshiping the gods, look at it, it's the end of the third watch, stay on the bed for a while, Su Liu Rolling around in the warm blanket, I resigned myself to getting up, after all, there were a lot of things to do today.

After getting dressed, Su Liu called for iced tea and water to wash up, and then went to the kitchen.

The lights in the kitchen were brightly lit, and the voice of Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Cui's conversation could be heard. Su Liu walked in, first saluted Mrs. Chen, and then avoided Mrs. Cui's salute, and then looked into the pot.

"It's still early, why don't you sleep a little longer?" Chen said, looking at Su Liu lovingly.

"I woke up and couldn't fall asleep, so I got up to see if there was anything I could do to help." Su Liu said with a smile.

"This is all a matter of worshiping God, and you can't get involved."

"Mother, you are busy here. I'll go outside to have a look. I'll lead the two girls, Iced Tea and Ya'er, to work."

These days, Su Liu and the others have been busy with banquets. The new house is new, but it is necessary to show off. Su Xiao and Chen Ye got up early and joined the ranks of Su Liu and others .

When the sky was bright, the door of Su Liu's house was slammed, and two or three carriages were parked. Someone was carrying something out of the car, but it was the cook that Su Liu had invited to the town's Manchuntang to cook a banquet.

This is in a farmer's house, whichever party invites a banquet, generally the neighbors will come to help with the work, commonly known as flooding. For example, the old house also invited many folks to the old house to help before dawn.

Su Liu and the others didn't invite many people to the banquet this time, only a few households they knew well. They knew that the old house had also invited these families, and they specifically explained that they didn't need to come over to do anything. They invited the cook. .

It's not that Su Liu and the others want to show off their wealth and wealth, but that they are too lazy to argue with Huang's and the others, so it's easy to talk about how they rob busy people.

"Miss Su, congratulations." Chang shopkeeper of Manchuntang smiled and bowed to Su Liu.

"I'm going to trouble Shopkeeper Chang early in the morning." Su Liu returned the gift with a smile, and said, "Come inside and have some tea to warm up."

Originally Manchuntang Su Liu could not be invited, but Song Fei managed to invite Manchuntang, and Manchuntang's famous dish braised pork knuckle is the most coveted.

"It's not too busy, I hope the young miss will show you the way, and it's not too late to put these things away first." Shopkeeper Chang said with a smile on his face, pointing to the carriage behind him.

Su Liu smiled and nodded, and asked Cui Fu to lead the people to the kitchen.

Just about to enter the house, a voice came from behind: "Liu girl, we are busy here."

Su Liu turned around and saw that it was Mrs. Lin who had always been close to Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Tang, the daughter-in-law of Cui Erzhu, and others.

It's human favor for someone to come and busy, Su Liu couldn't help but salute, as for why she didn't go to the old house, she didn't ask much, but Tang said: "My sister-in-law has gone, I won't go, The family members discussed it, and both sides walked and ate wine, and they had to fill their stomachs."

These words made the others laugh. If they invite two people on the same day, they should either go to the one they like, or divide them into two groups and each go to one family. Neither will offend.

In fact, Su Liu didn't care, she was happy to come, and she would be equally happy if she didn't come, and she wouldn't have a long face like Huang's.

At the old house, Mrs. Huang really has a long face. She remembers who she invited to have a drink, but there are not as many people here as she imagined, and she has been unhappy for a long time. up.

"Hey, Dazhu's daughter-in-law, why don't you see Erzhu's daughter-in-law come?" Mrs. Huang asked Cui Dazhu's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Liu, who was busy.

"She went to Miss Liu's house to be busy, and she ate there today, and we ate at your side in this room. It's all a happy event, and it's all a blessing." Liu smiled kindly.

Huang's heart was displeased, and she said eccentrically: "Well, the food over there must be better than ours, so it's no wonder she is there."

Mrs. Liu's smile froze, and she exchanged a glance with the busy daughter-in-law beside her, thinking, everyone said Mrs. Su's temper was getting weirder and weirder, it was true, look at what she said, it was really bitter.

Huang also felt that her words were not condescending, she was a little embarrassed, coughed, and said: "So, today I have to rely on your skillful hands."

Mrs. Liu and the others are not domineering people, although they were unhappy in their hearts, they also smiled and went to work. When Mrs. Huang turned around, she whispered: "Really, this demeanor has changed by more than one level." , Seeing Huang's mother smiling and looking over, they all walked away to do their own work.

Mrs. Huang Li sighed, glanced at her daughter, shook her head, walked over and whispered: "This is a good day, you still play that temper, don't let people see the joke, don't let me put you away." That stern face. People can go where they like to drink wine, why are you unhappy?"

"They just want to sing with me in the ring, and I heard that they invited Man Chun Tang to the banquet, bah, show me off!" Huang was very angry.

Saying this, a child shouted outside the courtyard: "Hurry up, go to Bei'aozi to pick up firecrackers, flowers, and candies. A dozen or so large carriages have just arrived."

Huang's face turned even darker.

Hearing that Song Fei and the others are coming, Mrs. Chen and Su Liu greeted them personally. The first carriage belongs to Song Fei, and he and Song Xiao are standing beside the carriage.

The second car belonged to Patriarch Cao, and the third car, Cao Mingzhu got out of the car with the help of the maid, and there were many cars behind, all of which belonged to the maids. open.

What surprised Su Liu was that the newly appointed magistrate Hu Zhixian also joined in the fun.

After Song Fei's introduction, Su Liu and the others had to kneel down.

"Excuse me, Miss Su, don't blame me for coming here uninvited." Hu Zhixian stroked the goat's beard and laughed, and asked people around him to present congratulatory gifts.

Su Liu took it in fear, thanked him again, and gave Song Fei a look, this time it is really thanks to you.

Song Fei pursed his lips and smiled, this magistrate of Hu County was newly promoted by his father. The magistrate of Pan County in the past, let alone delusional Cao Mingzhu. People are restless, and they have searched a lot of people's fat and people's anointing.

For public and private purposes, Song Fei had no choice but to let him step down. The magistrate of Hu County had just been promoted, and when he heard that he wanted to come to have a drink, he followed him on the pretext of inspecting the customs of various towns and villages.

This magistrate of Hu county is not just an official, he used to be a county magistrate, and it was so easy to rely on the important matter of the magistrate, the son of the magistrate's family was naturally flattering.Those who can be an official are not blind and deaf. This wink is the first thing to do. According to the information found, the son of the magistrate's family is very close to this little peasant girl. Of course he also likes her, so he also Come join in the fun.

If it wasn't for his wife's refusal to come to the village, he really wanted to bring his family with him, so he could take the opportunity to build a good relationship.

Hearing that the county magistrate is coming, all the busy people who came to Su Liu's house came out quickly and knelt down on the floor.

Hu Zhixian chuckled, and said without courtesy: "I'm here today to congratulate my niece on her new home and get married, everyone is free."

Well, this Huzhi County is really a second person, so Su Liu is called his niece.

And it's not useless if these words come out, at least they look at Su Liu and the others with deeper eyes.

May I ask who in this village has such a great ability, it's fine to invite the magistrate to come, I heard that it is the magistrate of Xinxian County, this is really amazing.

As soon as the news spread, there were not many people who came to Su Liu's side, but now those who were invited, and those who were not, all came to Su Liu's house to join in the fun.

There were always customers at the door, so Su Liu had no choice but to ask Chun Mantang to add two more dishes and set up a few more seats.

"Stop talking at the door, it's cold today, hurry up and have tea." Chen said to everyone with a smile.

At this time, Cao Kui had already stepped forward with Cao Mingzhu. Cao Mingzhu was wearing a veil, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes, which were full of smiles.

Su Liu introduced Cao Kui and Chen Shi again, the two of them made eye contact, they were stunned for a moment, and they turned away quickly, no one noticed the intersection.

Leading people into the house, Su Liu asked Mrs. Cui to take the girl and Mrs. Cao Mingzhu and others to sit in the hug seat, and asked Ning Guang to greet the male guest.Seeing Ning Guang, Song Fei saluted respectfully, even the arrogant fifth son Song Xiao reluctantly saluted, Hu Zhixian saw him from the sidelines, and heard that this is Su Liu's fiancé, His eyes flickered, and he thought that next time he would bring his wife and daughter along no matter what.

Su Liu took Cao Mingzhu into her boudoir, when the two met, they had a lot to say, when asked why they came with Song Fei, Cao Mingzhu blushed unconsciously.

"He also said that there is a guide on the way, and he is afraid that we will not be able to find it." Cao Mingzhu hesitated and said honestly.

Seeing her blushing, Su Liu teased, "Yo, it seems that there is something good that I missed."

Cao Mingzhu bit her lip, spat at her, lowered her head, stretched out her wrist, took off a chain, and said, "Here, this is from him."

Su Liu was really surprised, the chain was inlaid with diamonds and sapphires, the two alternated, very beautiful, taking advantage of Cao Mingzhu's slender wrist, it really complemented each other.

"Congratulations, sister." Su Liu bumped Cao Mingzhu's elbow.

Cao Mingzhu blushed so much that she was about to bleed, she lowered her head to her chest, and said: "The horoscope has not been written yet, so it's so fast, besides, our family..."

Su Liu held her hand and said, "Don't think too much. I still say the same thing. If he wants to marry him, he will clear all obstacles. You have to have confidence in him."

Cao Mingzhu bit her lip and nodded.

The two talked for a while, and the iced tea said that the auspicious time had come, and Chen Shi and Song Fei wanted to salute him and Ning Guang and let her go to the main hall.
