Song Jing lowered his eyes slightly, followed Shen Junxi's footsteps, and walked into their new house.Behind him were Lizhi and Longan who were silent, and they both looked uncomfortable, because the room was too small and the furniture used was too bad.

How could their young masters, who grew up in rich clothes and well-fed food, live in such a simple room?

Shen Junxi stood in front of the bed, looked at Song Jingwei earnestly, gestured to him a new bed with new bedding, and asked him to sit on it.

Seeing this, Lizhi and Longan felt even more uncomfortable, because the young master's husband was actually a mute, and he was simply not worthy of their young master.

Song Jingwei walked over, sat down, and told the lychee and longan sticking there: "Go and see where He San is, and let him come in."

Lychee and longan said: "Yes, young master."

There were only two people left in the room. Shen Junxi knew that Song Jingwei couldn't understand his own sign language, but he still tried his best to express himself, and then he also went out.

Song Jingwei thought that he would not come back soon after going out to greet guests, but he came in with a bowl of noodle soup not long after.Putting it on the table, the man started gesticulating again, not knowing what he was talking about.In short, it was just telling him to eat noodles, Song Jingwei thought to himself.

He has been on an empty stomach since morning, and it is better to have some noodles than nothing.

Seeing that Song Jingwei was eating seriously, Shen Junxi quietly left the room.

He San walked in after a while, saw the young master eating noodles, and said with a smile: "I heard from those two boys that the young master is looking for me for something?"

Song Jingwei put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, looked at him and said, "Boss, thank you for your hard work."

He San hurriedly waved his hands in panic and said: "Whatever the young master said, it was all ordered by the master. It is my honor to be able to work for the young master."

Song Jingwei didn't want to talk to him, nodded and said, "You take 3 taels of the 500 taels of silver in my hand, and take the lychee and longan with you when you go back."

He San was not surprised to take the money away, but the matter of lychee and longan was unexpected. He was surprised: "They are gone, who will serve you?"

Song Jingwei smiled, looked at him and said, "You are not a fool, you can do what I say." Song Jinmei is used to rich clothes and good food. She has no concept of money in her eyes, only the concept of the environment.He thought that Song Jingwei would suffer if he married in the countryside and lived a life of no one to serve him.

Now He San didn't dare to ask any more questions, and quickly agreed, and when he heard that the Shen family couple was looking for him outside, he quit.

The situation outside the house has nothing to do with Song Jingwei. After eating a bowl of noodles, he rolled over on the bed and took a nap while no one was disturbing him.

It has nothing to do with the bustle of the Shen family's big house, but there is also a group of members of the Shen family.They have all made up their minds, not to embarrass Mrs. Shen's family today, and not to attend the wedding banquet no matter what.

There are quite a few helpers in the family, they are not from the Shen family, so they don't have to worry so much, even if they drag their families to eat and drink, they won't be in the way of other people's affairs.

The third daughter-in-law, Wang Shi, has always cared about the title of the richest man in Lihua Town, and she has a persistent curiosity about the daughter-in-law of the elder family.

Helper Xu Da’s family had an eight or nine-year-old brat. Mrs. Wang gave him a handful of peanut candies, and said, “Go to the big room of the Shen family to watch the fun, and come back and tell me what you see.”

The child ran to the big room of Shen's family in a hurry, sneaked into the crowd to listen and watch, ordered peanuts and melon seeds to satisfy his hunger, and slipped back after watching the new couple's worship.

His report shocked Mrs. Wang, her heart was beating wildly, and she almost fainted.

When Mrs. Shen saw her, she looked like she had run into a ghost, and said that she was not dignified enough, and she wanted to raise the bearing of the daughter-in-law of the Shen family.

Wang didn't care about his attitude, and said, "You don't know the scene when an old man marries a daughter-in-law today. Hey... I feel uncomfortable..." With such a good relative, why can't she move around? It's a shame, it's a pity.

Old Mrs. Shen said: "His family does have a lot of money, and it should be bigger." Don't think that she thinks highly of the Song family, and then she added: "It's not that our Shen family has no money. Important. People like the Song family can only be regarded as nouveau riche, and the three generations of their ancestors are all illiterate and vulgar people."

Wang's heart felt depressed when she heard this, her mother-in-law didn't care about the family and didn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt were expensive, how could the Shen family be rich?It's just that they are well off. Compared with the Song family, they are completely different.The only thing the Shen family can do is to study for generations. They have produced a few candidates, and there is not even a Jinshi to support their appearance.

"Yes, how much money does his family have, brother Xi's daughter-in-law's dowry, a total of 38 sets, all of which are finely crafted and good things. 38 sets, old master, four rooms are not enough to put it in, right? Listen It is said that there are still fifty acres of fertile land, tens of thousands of taels of silver, tsk tsk, tens of thousands of taels, not much, right?"

Old Mrs. Shen's face turned blue and yellow, and she said awkwardly: "Who's dowry is not tightly covered, but he counts it out." There are tens of thousands of taels, not only not many, but simply too much... The Shen family The whole family's wealth can't add up to 1 taels.

Wang said enviously: "If I have so much dowry, I'm not afraid that others will know." After finishing speaking, she looked at her mother-in-law and said expectantly, "Why don't you let my daughter-in-law go and see if there is really so much dowry?"

Old Mrs. Shen pulled her face and said no: "If you say you are not allowed to go, you are not allowed to go. He marries his wealthy wife, and we live our lives. We have nothing to do with each other."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang could only resign herself to the idea of ​​finding out.

After noon, crackling firecrackers were set off at the door of the Shen family's big house. Amidst the crisp sound, Shen Dongming greeted loudly: "The banquet is open, folks, you are welcome to eat and drink—"

Scattered applause came from below, the chirping of children, and the whispering voices of adults... Wedding banquets are like this, and eating and drinking are the most important thing.

Shen Junxi, the groom's official, and his father Shen Dongming toasted everywhere with wine, drinking a glass at each table.In such a scene, Song Jingwei didn't need to come out to meet people, but marrying a daughter is different from marrying a brother. The villagers think that men are not so particular.

Then someone booed there: "Call the new daughter-in-law out for a drink!"

People around echoed: "Yes, yes, we want to see the new daughter-in-law, call the new daughter-in-law!"

Shen Junxi didn't take this issue because he was dumb, but Shen Dongming had to speak up because he was the master of the house, why did he say: "It's no use, there is no reason for a bride to come out to drink." Even if there is, He didn't dare to let the daughter-in-law in the house come out to drink.

The folks said: "Your daughter-in-law is not a girl, everyone is a man, what are you afraid of?"

It sounds reasonable, but Shen Dongming didn't agree, he said: "Brother Xi and I will accompany everyone to drink, come, come, fill up, drink up!"

Someone got drunk and murmured: "Shen Da, your family is afraid of that young master, you dare not even call out?"

Everyone has this idea in their hearts, but they only dare to think it in their hearts, and they will never murmur it out, making it difficult for everyone to get off the stage.It's a great day, and it belongs to the folks in the village, so why make such a stalemate.

Shen Dongming smiled indifferently: "Well, my daughter-in-law is not that kind of person, you think too much."

During the drinking break, Shen Junxi looked at the man, remembered his appearance, and then dragged his father towards the next table.

There were thirty tables full of people, and thirty glasses of wine. After drinking, Shen Junxi was floating while walking.

Yang said worriedly: "Brother Xi is drunk, mother will help you in and have a rest."

Shen Dongming stopped her and said: "This is the only time in a lifetime, let him drink enough." It seemed that he was drinking too much to talk such nonsense.

Simply ignoring his father and son, Mrs. Yang sat back on the table and searched in the crowd uneasily for a while.

Lychee and longan were not outside, Yang guessed that they were in the new house, so she was quietly relieved.

Everyone ate and drank, some people went home after eating, and some people complained about having a bridal chamber.The Shen family thought to themselves, his daughter-in-law doesn't look like a lively person, this bridal chamber can't make trouble for you...

Seven or eight unforgiving women grabbed Mrs. Yang to go, threatening: "You don't allow us to go in, isn't it because you are afraid of your daughter-in-law?" In order to prove himself, the eldest son of the Shen family should not Stop them.

The Shen family just won't allow it, you can drink and eat as you please, but you are not allowed to make trouble with his daughter-in-law.

The women had no choice but to criticize Yang's soft temper openly and secretly. In the future, his daughter-in-law will definitely let his daughter-in-law take the lead, which is not good.

Yang is used to being angry with these women, thinking that this is her son's big day, she bears it.

The male and female daughters-in-law who are also married in the village seem to be more honest and low-key, and they are all focused on eating and drinking for themselves, and they are not happy if they don't go to the Shen family's daughter-in-law.Because what's the point? It's a fact that other people have money. How envious or jealous is it? It's not interesting.

The wedding was drawing to a close, and after sending away the last batch of guests who had a wedding drink, the Shen family began to tidy up the scene.Return the tables and chairs of the folks, and distribute the leftover meat and vegetables to those who came to help.

It happened that the courtyard was vacated, and a large area was allocated for Song Jingwei to place the dowry.

Shen Dongming stood in the yard with a flushed face, and said to Mrs. Yang: "There are so many dowries here, can we sleep in peace tonight?"

Yang Shi also felt uneasy, she said: "Why don't you come and sleep in the yard?" Keep watch at night, guard against thieves.

"Hey, that's a good idea."

Shen Junxi came out of the clean room with floating steps, let the cool breeze of May blow, and felt that the smell of wine on his body was a little lighter.

"Brother Xi is drunk..."

His mother, Yang, was worried that he would fall, so she helped him into the new house herself.Inevitably, I had a face-to-face meeting with Song Jingwei who just woke up.
