Stingy Husband Farming
Chapter 74 Banquet
Finally coaxing Shen Mu and Mrs. Liu back to the Song residence, Song Bai was not to mention how happy he was, and personally led someone to tidy up his small courtyard that no one had lived in for more than ten years.
Speaking of which, the courtyard was smaller than the other courtyard of the Song family, with only three main rooms and one side room, and no kitchen.But it is definitely enough to live.
It was the first time Song Bai regretted that he was so stingy, the yard was so small and there were no servants, he always felt a little wronged by Shen Mu and Liu Shi.
Xue Bai smiled and said: "I said back then that if you want to marry a wife and have children in the future, you have to build a big yard. You insist that one room for yourself and your wife and children is enough. Why don't you think it is enough now?"
"I was still young at that time..." Song Bai muttered.He was only a teenager when he bought this yard, so he didn't expect so much.
Song Xie and Song Xiaomei took the opportunity to beat the drums at the side: "Brother, you see that you are married, and in a few years, sister-in-law will not have a few nephews and daughters? You can't live in this yard anymore!"
Song Bai was thoughtful.
Song Xiaomei blushed with excitement: "How about...how about we change to a big house? Look at Mei's house, there are six courtyards inside and outside, and there is a big garden. Our house is not bad now. The Mei family or something, people who live in this small house all the time will think that our family is not as good as the Mei family!"
"Alright, what's the comparison with the Mei family?" Song Bai frowned.
"I don't want to compare with their family. Isn't it just that the two families have the same financial resources? The younger sister just said it... Then you say that in the future, the sister-in-law will give birth to a nephew and a daughter. How can this house be enough to live in? Do you want to change to a bigger house?" Huh?" Song Xie also persuaded.
Shen Mu happened to come out of the house and heard them talking: "Didn't Dad say that we would move out as soon as we got married? What does it matter if the house is small?"
Song Bai slapped his forehead: "Yes! I won't live here anymore!"
Song Xie and Song Xiaomei: "..."
Shen Mudao: "I don't need to live in a big house when I go out in the future, the size I lived in before is enough. Not to mention, I really like that house." If Song Bai hadn't said it was dangerous, the things in that house would have He was really reluctant to be smashed by the people brought by Meizhu.
"From then on, let's live in that house." It's not a big deal, Song Bai is willing to listen to Shen Mu.
The two of them had made an agreement, but Song Xie and Song Xiaomei were very unhappy: You two are frugal, we want to live in a big house and a big garden! ! !
Xue Bai looked at the faces of his youngest son and daughter, laughed in his heart, and coaxed: "Think about it, your elder brother will move out in a few years, and your father is still the master of the house, and then go ask your father That's it."
This made the two of them happy again.Although there is still more than a year before the eldest brother gets married, but there is something to look forward to, isn't it?
That's right, seven months have passed since Shen Mu's 27 months of filial piety, and he will be able to officially marry Song Bai in another [-] months.
Song Xie and Song Xiaomei immediately figured out how they would fool their father into changing to a bigger house and improve their quality of life after their eldest brother got married.
Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, Master Song brought the housekeeper to Song Bai's small courtyard.This small courtyard has not been lived in for more than ten years, and it is the first time it is so lively.
But Mr. Song came here for a serious business: "The Mei family sent a gift. I heard that their family also sent 200 taels of silver to the master's family next to the county magistrate. I think it is to get that girl Mei out. What are you going to do?" ?”
"I'll listen to Xiaomu." Song Bai thought for a while, and took the gift list from the Mei Mansion from the butler: "Tsk, it's only this little? Are you sending a beggar?"
"They are giving you a step. Do you really think they will back up a generous gift? Don't think about how much they hate you now." Although Master Song also felt that this gift list was a bit contemptuous.
"What do you think?" Song Bai handed the gift list to Shen Mu and asked.After all, it was Shen Mu who offended Mei Zhu, and if Shen Mu was not willing to let her go, Song Bai would also be willing to fight the Mei family to the end.
Anyway, it's already tearing his face apart.
Shen Mu glanced at the gift list, and was also very dissatisfied: "I'm not angry anymore. After slapping her, my anger has almost disappeared. But, Miss Mei had someone smash things in the room."
The husband and wife looked at each other and understood what the other meant.
"That's it, Uncle Song." Song Bai thought for a while, "Send someone to the other courtyard, write down what Miss Mei's family has smashed, and draw up a list to send to Mei's mansion, asking Master Mei to compensate according to the price. If he is willing to pay the money, he can withdraw the lawsuit. If he is not willing..." He probably won't be unwilling, but just in case: "Prepare five... 300 taels of silver, if he is not willing to give it away Go to the county magistrate and let Miss Namei live in prison."
The other courtyard was arranged by Song Xiaomei, she always liked exquisite things, the things in the house were quite valuable, Shen Mu and Song Bai felt distressed after they were smashed.
However, Shen Mu keenly caught a word: "Bieyuan?" He squinted his eyes: "Didn't I rent that house?"
Song Bai was stunned for a moment, then looked at Song Xiaomei.
At the beginning, Shen Mu was embarrassed to take advantage of the Song family, and questioned going out to rent a house.Song Xiaomei was afraid that the house outside would be unsafe, so she pretended that the other courtyard closest to her home belonged to an outsider and rented it to Shen Mu at a low price.At this time, Song Bai accidentally slipped his mouth.
Song Xiaomei gave Song Bai a hard look.The big brother who is stingy and stupid...But there is no way, he bite the bullet and explained to Shen Mu: "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I didn't mean to lie to you. It's not that I own a house, and it's not worthwhile and unsafe to rent it outside. ..."
Unexpectedly, Shen Mu not only didn't get angry, but was quite happy: "I really like that house, and I thought I'd live there after I got married. If it wasn't for our family, I would have to buy it from someone else. Now it's fine."
Song Bai didn't refuse: "That house is very good, and I won't rent it to outsiders in the future. I'll find someone to tidy it up and build a new house for us."
"Don't worry, there's still more than a year left. If you don't rent, you won't get much money."
…………
Master Mei received the compensation receipt from the Song family and dropped another set of teacups.
"570 taels?! Why don't they grab it?!"
The housekeeper was sweating profusely: "But...Miss did order someone to smash up the other courtyard of the Song family... The housekeeper of the Song family said that their Song residence had no intention of making an enemy of our Mei residence. After sitting down on those things, they are also baffled. These losses were caused to them by the young lady. If the master is willing to pay, they will withdraw the lawsuit, which is considered to be a good relationship between the two families. If the master is not willing, they can only take the matter The list has been handed over to the government..."
The butler looked at his master's face, and then at the study's furnishings.
In all fairness, he really didn't think the Song family was stealing money.As far as my master's study is concerned, the furnishings in the room cost almost 500 taels.The white jade paperweight, the Duan inkstone, Hui ink... The lady smashed the whole yard... Because of the list issued by the Song family, he also took a look at the other courtyards of the Song family. It was really smashed, even the tables and cabinets None of the shadows.Those furniture are all mahogany!
Thinking about it this way, the housekeeper couldn't help persuading him: "Master, the lady is still closed at the yamen, and she has delivered letters several times..."
"Give it to them! Give it!" The things he used were expensive, but he only used them for himself, so of course he didn't feel sorry for them.Compensating to others is different, more than 500 taels, enough to buy a house!
It's just that this daughter is still useful, and she has helped the family a lot over the years.Master Mei gritted his teeth and decided to pay the compensation.
The housekeeper nodded again and again, and ordered the accountant to pay the money to the Song family.After thinking for a while, he said again: "Master, the day after tomorrow will be the day for the Song Mansion to hold a feast, shall we still go?"
…………
The Song Mansion held a banquet, and not many people were invited.
After all, the Song Mansion is not big, and the mansion will become crowded if there are too many people invited... So we only invited people from Xing'an County who are on the cards, and a few families who like to spread gossip.
It was originally intended to spread the news of Song Bai and Shen Mu's marriage, but now it added something else: to spread the word about the stupid things that Miss Mei did that Song Mansion and Mei Manor really have nothing to do with each other.
In fact, even if the Song family didn't mention it, people with smart eyes and ears would have heard about it: that arrogant and domineering Miss Mei suddenly disappeared from the street.Inquire again, and go to prison!
"I've heard that, I just came out of the yamen last night, and the Mei family only sent a dusty sedan chair to pick me up."
"Isn't it dusty? Could it be so red and green that others can see it?"
"This Miss Mei also has today?"
Before the rise of the Song family, the Mei family had always been the richest man in Xing'an County, and there were quite a few people who had received the spirit of plum and bamboo.Now who doesn't want to add insult to injury and express the bad breath in their hearts?
When Master Mei and Mrs. Mei followed the little maid leading the way to the banquet hall, they were listening.Mrs. Mei's eyes turned red on the spot, and she clenched her hands tightly.
There was also a moment of silence in the hall.
Song Bai appeared out of nowhere, and cupped his hands towards the two: "Master Mei, Mrs. Mei."
Mrs. Mei took a step forward, and was about to explode on the spot, but was stopped by Master Mei: "Nephew, you don't have to be polite. Nephew is very happy now."
Song Bai showed his face with a smile: "That's natural. I was able to survive the catastrophe in Yuhu Prefecture and met the love of my life. I am naturally happy."
When Master Mei heard the words "surviving a catastrophe", his heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but glance at Song Bai.Song Bai looked normal, looking behind the screen.
Someone in the hall laughed and said, "I heard that Young Master Song is married, why don't you bring it out for everyone to see?"
Song Bai smiled shyly: "I just signed the marriage contract. My husband is still in the filial piety period, and the wedding ceremony has not been done yet." But he called out behind the screen, "Xiao Mu?"
Shen Mu was so nervous that his face turned red, and a little maid was supporting him: "Young husband, it's time for us to go out."
Shen Mu nodded, turned out of the screen, and walked towards Song Bai.
It was rare for him to wear luxurious clothes today, and he felt that he was not himself.On the head, the cotton headband was replaced by a thick brocade headband, which was extremely heavy.
In Song Bai's eyes, it was extremely good-looking.
The guests below were all a little surprised: Song Bai rejected the marriage with the Mei family, and questioned the little brother he was going to marry. They originally thought that he was a heavenly figure, but they didn't expect... to be so ordinary?
Good-looking can be regarded as good-looking, but it is not as beautiful as what they think, many times more beautiful than plum bamboo.
It's just that I thought so in my heart, and everyone complimented me very politely.
Master Mei and Mrs. Mei could not wait to kill Shen Mu with their eyes: just because of this lowly brother, Song Bai actually treated their daughter like that!
But so what?Song Bai passed countless beautiful people, many of them were more beautiful than Mei Zhu, but in his eyes, he could only see Shen Mu.
Speaking of which, the courtyard was smaller than the other courtyard of the Song family, with only three main rooms and one side room, and no kitchen.But it is definitely enough to live.
It was the first time Song Bai regretted that he was so stingy, the yard was so small and there were no servants, he always felt a little wronged by Shen Mu and Liu Shi.
