The house is ancient, and was taken home by a rough man and spoiled

Chapter 607: Banquet for the whole village

Since they came early, Zhang Cuihua didn't let them idle.

Shen Yuan invited six cooks from the town, plus Zhao Yan, Wang Cui'e, and two aunts from the workshop canteen, a total of ten cooks. There were also a bunch of aunts and wives in the village helping out, but today's banquet was too big, with hundreds of people on the table, and they were still a little overwhelmed.

Feng Chunyun is now particularly happy to follow her elder sister-in-law to do things, and is busy working happily.

Shen Hua was smart, so he followed Shen Liang and the others to clean up.

The new son-in-law of the Shen family, Yang Qiangguang, followed behind Shen Lan. Seeing his mother-in-law and the others had gone to help, he could not help but say to Shen Lan:

"Everyone is so busy, let's go and help."

Shen Lan didn't want to move. She looked at the grand scene and the people moving around. She shook her head and said,

"I won't go. There are already so many people here. Why do we need them? Brother Yuan is a high-ranking official now. Why doesn't he buy more servants?"

It would have been fine if he hadn't gone, but he actually complained a little.

Yang Qiguang chuckled:

"The imperial edict has just arrived, how can we hire servants so quickly? Lanlan, he is your cousin, and now he is the commander. Mother and the others have gone to help, and it would be embarrassing if we don't go. You see, so many nobles are clinging to our third brother, we can't let outsiders laugh at us, right?"

His tone was gentle, without any complaints, and he seemed to be making sense, and also had a coaxing tone:

"We don't do anything, just help to put the tables and chairs, you go and help wash the dishes, it can also let others see that we are sensible, and we won't suffer any loss, everyone will be happy, what a good thing, go ahead, I will accompany you..."

Yang Qiangguang coaxed Shen Lan and half pushed her into the crowd.

Shen Lan looked at the women washing vegetables and walked over reluctantly.

When Yang Qiangguang saw Shen Lan going to help his mother-in-law, he couldn't help but smile. He hurried to find Shen Hua and quickly got busy.

Coincidentally, when the couple was talking just now, Su Wanwan was not far away from them and heard everything from beginning to end.

Looking at Shen Lan who was helping to wash the vegetables, and then at Yang Qiangguang who was moving the stools with great vigor, he was also dumbfounded.

I'm afraid that the two parents, the second aunt and the second uncle, can't control Shen Lan.

One thing brings down another thing.

Shen Lan's spoiled personality was actually conquered by Yang Qiangguang's gentleness!

I didn't expect that the young master of the Yang family would have such a personality.

He treats his daughter-in-law with such patience, but does not indulge her. Instead, he lets her do some work and coaxes her with gentle words.

This...which woman wouldn't be confused?

Although my second aunt is not a very good person, she has a unique vision and found such a good man for Shen Lan.

Just don't cause any trouble and don't bother with them.

Su Wanwan withdrew her gaze and immediately went over to help put some candies, melon seeds, etc. on each table.

There is strength in numbers. Around ten o'clock in the morning, people from all walks of life started to arrive one after another.

Not to mention the people from Daliushu Village, many people also came from the neighboring villages, as well as people from various counties. Anyone who had anything to do with Shen Yuan's business came to join in the fun.

Shen Yuan is an official now, higher than the prefect. It's a rare opportunity to get close to him, so naturally everyone who can come will come.

As expected, Liu Qian also came.

More and more people came, and before noon, the tables were almost full.

Shen Yuan and Su Wanwan have been welcoming guests.

Even though all the guests had arrived at noon, the two of them were still waiting there.

"Shen Yuan, this guest is not a fixed guest anyway. Let's wait until noon and start the meal. There's no need to keep waiting."

Zhang Cuihua also looked at the time and saw that the two had not yet taken their seats, so she came over to ask.

She was afraid that the two of them might have invited some important guests.

Many of these people came uninvited, and now almost all the seats have been filled. Normally, the banquet should start on time, so there should be quite a lot of people here, more or less.

"Well, wait until noon and then we'll start the meal."

Shen Yuan nodded. It was about a quarter of an hour before noon.

As he was speaking, a carriage came up.

Because the village was full of people today, even the roads were filled with banquets, and the carriage stopped far away.

Then two people got off the carriage.

One of them is Bai Shao, and the other one is...

It’s Yun Xian.

As soon as Yun Xian got off the carriage, he looked around. When he saw Yun Yi and Yue'er in the crowd, his eyes lit up and he ran over with his head tilted.

There is a banquet today, and the village school is closed for the day, so all the children are coming to the banquet.

"Yun Yi, Yue Er, I'm here, I want to have a feast too..."

Yun Xian just shouted and ran away carelessly without saying hello to anyone else. He ran so fast that he almost tripped.

Xiao Qi, who had been serving him, came over and saluted Shen Yuan and Su Wanwan:

"Princess, Prince, the master heard that there was a banquet here today and insisted on coming..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw Yun Xian almost falling over there, so he quickly ran over to help him up.

Shen Yuan's eyes were deep as he turned his gaze over there. Yun Xian staggered and was pulled up by a villager nearby so that he did not fall.

He didn't say thank you. After standing firm, he ran straight towards Yun Yi and the others.

Yun Yi no longer looks like the leader of children in the past, and he would not read books in such an occasion as today, but he has become calm and steady. He no longer cares about those childish games in the early days, and only plays wooden card games with a few friends.

Seeing his eighth uncle running over, Yun Yi was also startled, looked up, and then smiled:

"Eighth uncle, slow down."

However, Xiao Yueer rushed over immediately when she saw her eighth uncle:

"Eighth uncle, you are here. Where is tenth uncle? Why did you come alone?"

Yun Xian finally arrived, panting, and sat down in front of Yun Yi, looking at the wooden sign in their hands:

"Play...play...what are you playing...I want to play too..."

Yun Yi looked at the wooden sign in his hand and said with a smile:

"You can't play this, go play something else..."

When he was told to play something else, Yun Xian became unhappy and snatched all their cards away:

"Play... I want to play with Yun Yi, I can't play with him..."

There were too many wooden signs, and when he pulled them, they all scattered on the table.

He was like a stubborn and spoiled child, throwing tantrums and insisting that everyone play with him and participate in the fun.

Yun Yi was helpless:

"Okay then, I'll teach you."

Yun Yi observed his eighth uncle carefully as if unintentionally, then quickly looked away and was about to reshuffle the cards.

Yun Xian then smiled happily.

Xiao Yue'er saw that her eighth uncle wanted to play with her brother. She also didn't like the card game, but her eighth uncle definitely didn't know how to play it, so she stood behind him, ready to help him.

The children started playing again.
