Chapter 5897 Banquet
Yang Ruoqing stood up and patted his shoulder: "The past is in the past. From today on, you will enter a new life."
"Come on, young man, go wash your face and tidy up. When your brother-in-law and Narisong, the two great matchmakers, come over, we have to leave for the woman's side. Don't forget, this is your good day. Smile.
ah?"
The hatred on Liu Xueyun's face faded little by little, and his expression gradually changed.
A little reserved, a little embarrassed and nervous.
Yang Ruoqing glared at him: "Don't be nervous. You should be bold, careful, and thick-skinned. Come on, smile for me!"
Liu Xueyun: "..."
…
Luo Fengtang went to find Narisong after breakfast. The two of them were great matchmakers, so they had to discuss in advance what they would do in the fourth room of Lao Yang's house in the morning.
At this time, the two of them came to an agreement and came together.
"If you don't come back, I'm going to call you back in person. How about everything? Is everything ready? Let's go to my fourth uncle's place together!"
Today is a good day for Liu Xueyun and the third girl to get engaged. All the guests will come over for a banquet. As the man's representative and matchmaker, he naturally has to arrive before other guests arrive. This is etiquette.
"Everything is ready and you can leave at any time." Luo Fengtang said.
Luo Fengtang glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the chair broken into two halves on the ground.
He also saw what kind of weapon the stool was struck by.
"What's going on?" he asked.
Yang Ruoqing said: "The old patriarch of the Liu family came here earlier."
Luo Fengtang understood instantly.
"The chair is not enough to deter me. I will have to change to a stone pier when I go back." He said.
Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows, this was the tacit understanding between husband and wife.
When the old patriarch of the Liu family appeared in front of everyone with his son and grandson again, the gloom in his son's eyes was gone, and he was full of kindness and gratitude.
Old fox.
Yang Ruoqing secretly thought to herself, but it's okay, those who know the current affairs are heroes, and only those who know how to be afraid and can pretend will be obedient.
As for the grandson, the young man is shallow and has everything written on his face.
It used to be anger, now it's fear.
Hiding behind his father and grandfather, he didn't dare to look at Yang Ruoqing and the sword she hid under her robe.
"Old patriarch, if you are all right, we will go there together. Their two matchmakers are also here." Yang Ruoqing circled between the two groups of people like a smiling angel.
The old patriarch nodded repeatedly and glanced secretly at Luo Fengtang and Narisong.
Both men are tall and straight, one is as cold as an iceberg, and the other is as fierce as an iceberg.
The noble man who had been eager to get up to him before, now the old patriarch, grandson and grandson didn't dare to take another look at him. They just wanted to finish the wedding banquet and go back as soon as possible.
The grandson was glanced at by Na Risong. Na Risong didn't sleep well last night. The corners of his eyes were a little red and his gums were a little angry.
He habitually squinted his eyes when looking at people and stuck out his tongue to lick his lower teeth. His scalp went numb, and he suddenly felt like he was prey and was being stared at by a ferocious carnivorous beast.
Fortunately, Yang Ruoqing's figure was in the middle, blocking Risong's gaze, so the feeling became slightly better.
"Now that everyone is ready, let's hurry over. Old patriarch, you represent the man's parents now. Come on, you always walk in the middle. This way please!"
…
The old house of Lao Yang's family, four rooms.
Family members such as Yang Huazhong and Yang Huazhou had come over to help a long time ago. The men gathered in the front hall to wait for the guests to arrive, while the women stayed in the backyard to prepare for the noon banquet.
Mrs. Tan put on clean and tidy clothes, her hair was neatly combed, and she sat on a stool with a backrest at the door of the kitchen, leaning on a cane.
Her own daughters-in-law and grandson's daughters-in-law beside her were busy, so Mrs. Tan pricked up her ears to listen, and from time to time she would raise her voice to give instructions to these and others.
The most frequently said sentence is: "... women should be clean when working, and their hair should be pulled up. Don't let the guests eat your long hair in the food and wine, which will bury people..."
In the kitchen, the people holding the two pots and the spoons were Liao Meiying and Yu Bamei respectively.
One of the two sisters-in-law had her hair wrapped with a scarf, while the other wore a hat.
Hearing what Tan said, the two sisters looked at each other, and Yu Bamei said: "Sister-in-law, luckily we were prepared in advance."
Liao Meiying smiled: "My grandma is a very particular person."
Mrs. Liu carried a basket of eggs into the kitchen and handed the eggs to Bao Suyun who was standing aside. She turned to her two nieces and nephews and said, "This is why your mother-in-law never let me take the spoon. She disliked me for being dirty and said that I was unkempt and unkempt."
people……"
"Fourth Aunt, don't talk about yourself like that." Yu Bamei said.
Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "I'm telling the truth. I'm not very particular about appearance. I admit it. Anyway, now I've reached this age. Before, your third and fifth aunts were in charge. Now I'm here."
You guys, I’ll just do it for you!"
"Fourth Aunt, you are so humble. We came to your house for dinner a few days ago, and the food was so well-cooked that we didn't have to choose!"
The speaker's voice was clear and loud. He raised the curtain and got into the kitchen.
"Ah, Qing'er is here?"
Seeing Yang Ruoqing appear in the kitchen, not only Mrs. Liu's eyes lit up, but the other women also became excited.
Why?
Because her appearance means that the matchmaker and the male elders have arrived.
"Fourth Aunt, the old patriarch on the groom's side has arrived in the main room with his people, and Fourth Uncle and my father are waiting for people to drink tea!" Yang Ruoqing immediately told Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu used the hand that had just grabbed the egg to put it on her hair a few times, and then patted her clothes: "Well, I have to go over and say hello to someone. We, the three girls, will be visiting someone else's house in the future.
We live on our territory, so we can’t offend it!”
Yang Ruoqing called to her: "Fourth Aunt, wait a minute. I'll take off a chicken feather from your head first."
After taking down the chicken feathers, Mrs. Liu ran out of the kitchen like a gust of wind.
Mrs. Tan also adjusted her clothes and called the third girl from the west room.
"Milk, I'm here, what's wrong with you?"
The third girl also changed into 80% new clothes today, with festive colors, watery eyes, and pink face, charming and bright.
"Help me go to the front yard, and I'll go and see what the old patriarch is like, and see if I can get along with him."
The third girl blushed slightly and whispered: "Nai, that's the old patriarch, not Brother Liu's father or uncle. We don't need to deal with him."
Mrs. Tan looked down at the three girls: "You can't live behind closed doors after you get married. You should have the necessary social interactions. Although the old patriarch doesn't have an official position, he should have some weight in the Liu family. With him
There's no harm in building a good relationship. Even if we can't build a good relationship, we still have to let him know that you have a difficult mother. If he dares to bully you, I'll go to Changle County and drown him in a mouthful of thick phlegm!"
Third girl: "..."
In the kitchen, Mrs. Sun and the others were all suppressing their laughter. It was not until the three girls helped Mrs. Tan to the front yard that everyone finally laughed out loud.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Punch hard, warning of thick phlegm."
Yu Bamei: "My grandma's words really scare people to death, and they don't pay for their lives!"
Zhao Liuer: "Fortunately, I didn't hear this kind of warning while eating."
Liao Meiying sighed: "It shows that the third sister has a good temper. She has really caught the eye of our grandma. She defends her like this..."
Mrs. Liu returned to the backyard kitchen after a while.
In high spirits, with smiles all over his face.
Mrs. Sun looked at Mrs. Liu and asked, "Looking at how happy you are, I guess the old patriarch of the Liu family has left a good impression on you?"
Mrs. Liu nodded towards Mrs. Sun: "I originally thought that the patriarch must be an old guy with a pompous face and a dignified attitude. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be an amiable old man. He also spoke nicely and praised others well. Not only did he
My third girl praised me from head to toe, and even flattered me and my fourth child. Even a shameless person like me couldn't stand it anymore, so she hurriedly hid in the backyard to work!"
Everyone in the kitchen laughed.
Yang Ruoqing joked: "Fourth Aunt, wouldn't the old patriarch praise you for your beautiful face and your beautiful face, so that you would be ashamed of your beauty?"
Mrs. Liu glared at Yang Ruoqing, "Do you think your fourth aunt looks like me?"
"Like, Fourth Aunt, you look like a flower." Yang Ruoqing said.
Jiang Guiling appeared out of nowhere and just answered: "A big morning glory."
Mrs. Liu looked at the two of them, pretending to be angry and stamping her feet: "You two bad ladies will make fun of the fourth aunt, but I can't do anything to you two. This is really irritating!"
When Bao Suyun saw Jiang Guiling entering the kitchen, she quickly put down her work and came over. His eyes moved from Jiang Guiling's slightly bulging belly to her face.
"Guiling, why did you come to the kitchen? The smell of oil smoke here is strong, you'd better go sit in the dining hall..."
"Mom, I have nothing to do. I get bored if I sit too much. Come here and listen to what you are talking about."
Bao Suyun asked again: "Where is Dabao? Didn't you ask him to accompany you?"
"Just now, the third brother and the little cousin came over and called, Dabao followed them to the front yard, I don't need him to accompany me."
Bao Suyun nodded, "Okay, come on, come and sit over here."
Bao Suyun helped Jiang Guiling walk into the kitchen.
Mrs. Sun and others looked at it and reminded: "Slow down."
"Watch your step."
Mrs. Liu said: "This kitchen is hot, Guiling, can you bear it?"
Yu Bamei also said: "The cooking will be very spicy later. You'd better go outside to enjoy the cool weather. You can also hear us talking."
Facing the concern from all directions, Jiang Guiling couldn't laugh or cry.
She sat down on the pony arranged by Bao Suyun and said to everyone: "Three mothers, four mothers, several sisters-in-law, I'm not that delicate, I just have a baby, what woman doesn't come here like this, I like to hear it
My baby also likes to hear what you say, so you don’t have to worry about me, just say what you want.”
Bao Suyun also squatted aside and laughed.
Mianmian came in with a tea bowl in her hand, looked around and found Jiang Guiling.
"Sister-in-law, your tea."
"I'm not thirsty."
"Take it even if you are not thirsty. You will get thirsty just sitting there."
Mianmian put down her tea, turned around, left the kitchen, and went outside to find the three girls.
Mrs. Liu looked at Mianmian's back and sighed: "The three girls in my family are not lucky. Liu Xueyun has no brothers and sisters. It would be great to have a sister-in-law like Mianmian. Look, this family regards Guiling as a treasure!"
Jiang Guiling smiled sheepishly.
