The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 221: Discussing marriage, drinking and feasting, hiding plots in the boudoir (5)

More than a dozen people worked for nearly an hour before all the ingredients were cleaned, cut, and placed in large clean pottery pots. The backyard was almost full.

At this time, the villagers who were invited to the greenhouse also arrived one after another. The first to arrive were Lin Yong and others. They each prepared a bunch of firecrackers and set them off at the entrance of the courtyard.

The continuous sound of firecrackers was deafening. After the sound of firecrackers was about to stop, Li Zhong quickly lit the firecrackers in his hands and connected them. Mo Qingze stood at the door to greet the guests with a smile and invited them into the hall.

Hot tea and fine tea leaves had been prepared on the table. After Mo Qingze invited them to sit down, he made a cup of tea for each of them.

There are many people who love tea, but better tea leaves are more expensive. It would be great if they could buy the cheapest tea leaves throughout the year.

Now tasting the fragrant and pleasant tea, I just feel that the Mo family respects people and does not fool them with inferior tea just because they are mud-legged.

Mo Qingze had to welcome guests and couldn't stay with them, so the task of accompanying the guests was given to Zhen'er. Zhen'er is a little kid, so naturally she doesn't know how to entertain guests, but she can't just let the guests sit dryly in the hall.

Zhen'er and Lin Yong were both familiar with each other, and they were not timid at all. He talked to them in a pretentious manner, which made Lin Da and the others laugh. They kept teasing him, just like this, you said something to me, It doesn't feel deserted either.

 After a while, Zhang Dayou, Zhang Erniu and others also came one after another. They were all from the same village, and because they had worked in the Mo family together, they were familiar with each other, and they quickly became chatty.

Zhen'er had no more use for her, so she hurriedly ran out to play with her friends.

Not long after, Yang Bao also came and set off a long string of firecrackers. His mother-in-law, son, daughter-in-law and grandson also came to congratulate him. Mo Qingze quickly welcomed them into the hall.

Looking at the bright and majestic hall, Mrs. Hu, the village chief's daughter-in-law, was full of envy. Her daughters-in-law were also the same. They stared in the hall for a while before sitting down, holding a white porcelain tea cup and smelling the delicious fragrance of tea. , feeling more and more envious.

This is the day for wealthy families!

Forty or fifty people came one after another, plus they brought their wives and children. After a while, the whole hall was filled with people.

Even though the hall of Mo's house was very big and there were a lot of chairs and benches, there were so many people coming that they couldn't bear it. Lin Yong and the others went back and moved their own chairs and benches over before sitting down.

 Originally I thought that the people from Lao Mo's family would be arriving next, but I didn't expect that even though I waited around, I didn't see any of Lao Mo's family. Many people asked vaguely. Knowing that the Mo family had invited him, they curled their lips and said nothing.

At this moment, bursts of fierce firecrackers sounded outside the door, which was louder than the previous ones.

When everyone heard this, they thought it was someone from the Lao Mo family, and then they shook their heads. Although firecrackers are not very valuable, a normal bunch of them costs more than a dozen bucks. The old Mo family couldn't bear to put so many firecrackers together.

The people who came were indeed not Lao Motou and others, but the three members of the Liu family who came in their own carriage.

"Tzuyu, congratulations." After getting off the carriage, Mr. Liu smiled and congratulated Mo Qingze who came up.

Mr. Liu's name is Anping. He is a gentle and elegant middle-aged man. Since he has no interest in officialdom, he teaches in a private school after passing the imperial examination. He is quite famous in the private school with his profound knowledge and interesting teaching methods.

“It turns out to be Mr. Liu, Mrs. Liu, and Miss Liu. Welcome to my humble home. Please come in.”
