Directly across the courtyard are three main rooms, and there is a small door at the end of the veranda on the left, leading to the backyard.

There are not many people living in the front yard, and the houses in the back yard are much denser.

The backyard is not small, nearly a hundred square meters. There are six side-by-side huts. The area is not large, about ten square meters. Some are locked and some are unlocked. Since no one has lived in them for a long time, there is also a musty smell. After pushing it open, there is a musty smell inside. There are also mice jumping out.

Another small courtyard is separated to the west, which has a well and a kitchen, where laundry and cooking are done.

There is also a back door. After opening it, it turns out to be a small pond with a springboard on which you can wash clothes. There are also two persimmon trees planted on both sides. The persimmons are now slightly red, like small lanterns, hanging on the branches. .

Several girls were happily running around in the yard, laughing and joking.

Liu Ye frowned as she looked at it. How much effort would it take to clean up such a messy yard?
She didn't hesitate for long before Shen Qing spoke, "Shen Qi, take a few of them and tidy up the yard. It will be inhabited in the future."

"Yes!" Shen Qi didn't say anything, and the five girls had nothing to say.

The master who follows them is a girl. They don't have to worry about being defiled or being harassed. The girl protects them and prevents them from being harassed by gossip. Even at home, their parents treat them like this.

"Don't worry, miss. Give us two hours and we'll get this house in order."

"Yes, just leave it to us. The yard is in chaos. Why don't you go find a teahouse to sit outside?"

The five girls rolled up their sleeves and were eager to try.

Shen Qing nodded and smiled: "I'll go to the opposite side to have a wedding banquet. You guys are busy with your work, Maodou, Sister Luo, let's go, Liu Ye will come too."

Luo Qin was surprised, "Why did you suddenly change your mind again?"

"You see that your aunt is here, as well as her newly married daughter-in-law and the Ma family's sister-in-law. Their families are all gone, but my aunt didn't invite me. How can it make sense? You think we should prepare a gift? You can't Are you going empty-handed?"

Luo Qin's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, "If I go there empty-handed, I'm just giving her face!"

"makes sense."

In the end, she went with the gift, but it always felt weird to have empty hands.

Shen Qing led his men, plus two of Maodou's men, a total of six people, walked around the main entrance, and entered through the main entrance in a swaggering manner.

The housekeeper who was guarding the door recognized her at a glance, and his eyes almost dropped to the floor in panic.

"You, you, why are you here!"

Shen Qing put on his face and became unhappy, "Look what you said, my aunt's house is holding a wedding, how could I not come? By the way, is my cousin really getting married today?"

The butler adjusted his facial expression and tried his best to show a hospitality attitude, "My old lady will be very happy that the second girl can come. I will ask someone to take you in." While he was supporting, he quietly gave the little girl a message. The servant winked and asked him to go in and inform Cao Xuemei. He had to be mentally prepared, right?
There were quite a few guests here today. Unlike that day when her sister was forced to do so, almost all the smart people in the town came here. They set up flowing water mats in the front yard, probably to create a lively scene, regardless of Anyone can come in and ask for a glass of wedding wine, say auspicious words, and receive a souvenir as long as they talk to the gatekeeper.As soon as she came in, she saw several women bending down and saying congratulations. After saying that, she received a small red cloth package from the servant. As for what was inside, it was not difficult to guess, it was nothing more than wedding candy and cakes. Before they left, the women whispered to each other that they would ask all the boys and girls at home to come and have a banquet. This would be a great thing.

Xu was a rather eccentric person in their group, and they attracted a lot of people's attention as soon as they came in.

Mr. He, who was standing at the door of the main hall to receive guests, also saw a few of them early in the morning.

She is a person who pays great attention to forbearance, but every time she meets Shen Qing, she always breaks her guard. There is no other reason. Shen Qing always likes to tear off her mask, speaks to the point, and does not spare any emotion, so she can't pretend at all. Go down.

The worship service has passed and the newlyweds have been sent back to their new house. There are not many people in the main hall. Cao Xuemei is greeting the guests. Meng Daishan also has a happy face. The Su family of Jingyang Mansion just sent a butler to deliver a gift. It is a generous gift. Reading it out in front of many guests brought a lot of light to his face. Looking at the envious eyes of these rich and gentlemen, he felt completely comfortable.

"Everyone, please take your seats!"

"You're welcome, please!"

"Hey! Mr. Wang, long time no see. How are you? How is your business at home?"

Meng Daishan was greeting the guests with ease when he suddenly caught a glimpse of something wrong at the entrance to the main hall. He walked over in confusion. Before he got there, he saw Shen Qing standing at the foot of the steps. He was shocked at the time, and at the same time a little bit afraid. Mainly I'm afraid she'll cause trouble.

At this time, Cao Xuemei had already stopped in front of Shen Qing, her face was not so good, and she had to try her best to maintain the most basic etiquette, so as not to let the ladies who came today see her joke.

"What are you doing here?" He asked through gritted teeth.

Mr. He also stood beside her mother-in-law, with a smile on her face, but what she said was cold to the bone, "Today our family is having a wedding. If my sister wants to ask for a wedding drink, she can go sit in the yard and we'll start. The table is a flowing-water banquet, which is held every hour. If there is any lack of hospitality, I hope my sister won’t take it personally.”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were unanimous in their communication and blocked the door tightly, determined not to let her in.

Shen Qing looked up at the two of them funny and said loudly: "Aunt, sister-in-law, what are you doing? My niece is coming to have a wedding banquet, why are you blocking her from entering? Could it be because my parents are gone, aunt She doesn’t want to associate with us, alas! Really, aunt, don’t worry, my niece is definitely not here to enjoy the autumn breeze today, but is here sincerely to have a wedding banquet, come on, bring the gift!"

Shen Qi immediately walked forward holding a piece of floral cloth and handed it forward respectfully, "This is a gift from my girl to the Meng family. Come and receive it personally."

It was really a piece of floral cloth, folded neatly, and it didn't look like it was stuffed with anything.

Cao Xuemei's face was ashen, even poor relatives in the countryside would never be able to afford such gifts. Look at the gifts brought by the Cao family, five taels of silver ingots, placed on a tray.

Although from the Meng family's point of view, five taels was not much, the Cao family was just a farming family, so being able to produce this showed that they valued it.

But no matter how dissatisfied she felt, Cao Xuemei didn't dare to show it. Who knows what else is waiting for her behind this girl.

He said: "Min'er, take it!"

Xia Min glared coldly at the master and servant opposite, reluctantly stepped forward to take the floral cloth, but after returning, she immediately held it in her hand with disgust, holding it with only two fingers for fear of It looks like something dirty. (End of chapter)
