The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 224: Discussing marriage, drinking and feasting, hiding plots (8)

At this moment, Zhen'er ran in with two children. When Mo Yan looked up, he saw the two brothers and sisters, Yun Zhao and Yun Sheng. It turned out that Shopkeeper Xing had arrived and brought the brother and sister over.

“Come here and sit next to eldest sister.” Mo Yan smiled and asked them to sit down, and brought pastries and pear juice from the tea room.

The Yun Zhao brothers were a little nervous when strangers were present. In the end, Liu Tinglan took the initiative to tease them, and the atmosphere became lively.

Seeing that it was noon and the banquet was about to start, Mo Yan asked Zhen'er to go to the front and ask his father if all the guests were here.

Zhen'er came back not long after she ran out. It turned out that only Old Motou and his family were left.

"Why haven't you come yet? Did you call me?" Mo Yan frowned. If he didn't want to come, he wouldn't come. But if he came over in the middle of the banquet, it would be embarrassing for his family.

Zhen'er looked very unhappy: "Dad is busy greeting the guests and arranging the banquet. He can't spare time for the time being. He said that if he hasn't arrived before the banquet, he will call him."

Mo Yan nodded and said nothing. Old Motou is an elder, so even if he goes to invite him, Mo Qingze, his nephew, can only go there in person. If he sends a few of their juniors to invite him, with Mo Hong's urine, he is afraid that he will make trouble again.

Zhen'er saw that he had nothing to do, so he invited Yun Zhao to play with him.

Yun Zhao actually didn't want to go. It was really boring to play with those little brats, but he came today not only to congratulate him, but he took his sister and followed Zhen'er.

As soon as the children left, the house became quiet again. After staying in the house for a long time, Liu Tinglan felt bored and said she wanted to go out for a walk, so Mo Yan planned to take her to the orchard.

As a result, before he could even walk out of the courtyard, Lao Motou and his family rushed in, followed by Li Zhong who was holding firecrackers. He stood awkwardly, not knowing whether he should light the firecrackers.

As soon as Mo Yan saw it, he understood what was going on and said to Li Zhong: "Grandpa Li, come in after setting off the firecrackers. You have to help arrange the banquet!"

When Li Zhong heard this, he smiled at Mo Yan and quickly went to the door with the firecrackers.

Except for Mo Hong's family and Mo Niu's family, everyone else in the Old Mo family, including Old Mo Tou, were standing at the door with embarrassed faces. Listening to the loud sound of firecrackers outside, their embarrassment became even stronger.

It doesn't matter how many gifts the guests bring to the house-warming, but when they come, they must set off a string of firecrackers at the door of the host's house, which means prosperity. After the guests' firecrackers are almost finished, the host will take out a bunch to catch them to show his gratitude and welcome to the guests.

Now Lao Mo's family comes here empty-handed and is reluctant to even set off a bunch of firecrackers. If this spreads...

Mo Wu and others were too embarrassed to raise their heads. They originally wanted to ask the villagers who came into the city to buy a bunch yesterday, but Mo Hong held the money tightly and was reluctant to take even a penny. Others were too embarrassed to go. Borrow money to buy.

I came so late today because Mo Hong was making a fuss at home, and Mo Qingze had to ask for help before he would come. As a result, after waiting for a long time, Mo Qingze didn't even ask for a favor. It was Lao Mo who grabbed her and wanted to beat her, so she followed him with a dead face.

On the big day, Mo Yan didn't want to argue with them, but with Mo Hong as a troublemaker, she couldn't rest assured. If she made a scene in public, it would not only be her face that would be lost.

Thinking of this, Mo Yan said apologetically to Liu Tinglan: "Sister Lan, the banquet is about to start. I will take you to the orchard after the banquet!"

“It’s okay, go ahead and the sun won’t be so strong later, just in time!” Liu Tinglan smiled and waved her hand to express understanding.
