Chapter 114 Birthday Banquet

But Yu Zhuzi had said all this, and it was hard to take it back.

After all, even if you know about this kind of other people's affairs, you still have to pretend to be confused. If you suddenly change your mouth, you might not be human inside and out.
What if Shen Jiayan didn't really hate her natal family that much?Doesn't that make him appear troublesome?
Therefore, a mature and smooth person like Yu Zhuzi didn't know what to say for a while.

He could only smile awkwardly at Shen Jiayan.

Shen Jiayan knew from the memory of the original owner that when the original owner had such a quarrel with her natal family, the neighbors were all watching.

Yu Zhuzi's own mother was the one who persuaded the original owner at the door of Shen's house.

The original owner may have resentment and hatred towards her natal family, or may still have some family affection left.

But what's the matter with her?That's not her parents and natal family.

The Shen family gave birth to the original owner, and sold the original owner for a good price. The bride price was 80 taels, and there were other fragmentary dowry gifts and various expenses. The Mu family received at least 100 taels of silver.

what is this concept?In Changyang County, an ordinary family of six or seven people spends money on food, clothing, housing and transportation, and saves money throughout the year, which is less than 20 taels of silver.

In the town or country below, ten taels of silver a year would be more than enough.

As for the dowry to the original owner, it looked decent, but it was just a show, and it didn't cost much.

The most valuable items in it are the clothes materials and some jewelry specially prepared for the bride sent by the Mu family.

Just like this, before she got married and got into the sedan chair, the jewelry was pulled off her head by her mother.

After the original owner married into Mu's family, most of the monthly money was taken away by the old lady of the Shen family under various excuses.

Once the original owner was a little bit reluctant, the old lady of the Shen family would cry all kinds of things, saying that the original owner had no worries about food and clothing in Mu's house, and that the young mistress was the young lady, not knowing that her mother's family had a hard time.He also lied to the original owner, saying that the family would remember her well, that when the elder brother of the Shen family went to high school and gained fame, he would be able to support her in the Mu family, and endure it for a few years.

The original owner is not the one who really has nothing to do with it. Although she is coaxed to help the Shen family from time to time, she doesn't have to serve the family at Mu's house, and it's not easy to meddle in the affairs of the Mu family's brothers and sisters. She spends a lot of time every day, He simply took over the work of making nets and embroidering handkerchiefs secretly to earn some private money.

In addition, she saves herself, so she has accumulated a little private house.

It's a pity that once Mu Pojun died, she had no hope of returning to her natal family, so she sold her worthless dowry and the little private house she had saved, and took the Mu brothers and sisters to Dongguang Village. On the three brothers and sisters of the Mu family.

The short life is simply a joke.

Now that it's her, if the Shen family can really do it, it's fine if they don't communicate with each other forever.

If you don't know what's interesting and you still want to come along, no matter what your thoughts and goals are, don't even try to take advantage of her.

So just do nothing, nod your head, and explain that you will go tomorrow.

Seeing Shen Jiayan like this, Yu Zhuzi thought that she was much more tactful and sophisticated now, and that since he had been promoted, the Shen family would no longer look at her, so they wouldn't be making trouble at his house, would they?
He got up and gave a few more instructions, and then went home.

According to the local rules, when the child of this family catches the Zhou banquet, the mother's family will give eggs, rice cakes, and a green onion, which means rising every step of the way and being smart.

If the natal family is richer, they will make two sets of clothes for the child and add a safe and long-lived lock.

Ordinary relatives and friends, just to make fun of, seal a red envelope, or send some eggs or something, that's all.

The relationship between Shen Jiayan and the Yu family is too precious for her to give it away, and the Yu family is also worried about accepting it, so it is more appropriate to seal it with a red seal.

It's also relieved, I don't have to pick out gifts.

I went to the shop waiter and asked for a piece of red paper, cut it into a red envelope, and put fifty copper coins in it, which is already extremely rare.

Day two.

The weather is fine, and there are magpies chirping on the willow trees at the entrance of Calabash Alley early in the morning.

Before dawn in Yu's house, lights were lit in the yard and they began to get busy.

Originally, it was just a first-year banquet, and I only planned to invite relatives and old friends. There were only two or three tables of guests at the little grandson's natal family, and I asked the neighbors to help me, that's all.

But isn't this because Yu Zhuzi has been promoted to the head of the team? It is estimated that there may be more guests at today's birthday party than expected.

Not to mention a few prominent figures, it would not be enough to ask the neighbors to take the lead.

I simply went to invite the chef in charge of the spoon in the restaurant overnight, and set the menu, so I got up early to buy all kinds of ingredients, planning to make a flowing water banquet.

Neighbors in the neighborhood also got the news that the women who had nothing to do at home came to help in the morning.

Picking vegetables, washing vegetables, washing rice and cooking, and helping the master chef who is in charge of the spoon are all used to it.

Moreover, Yu Zhuzi became the head of the team, and the neighbors around here could only make friends with each other. These women are so busy that they don't touch the ground, they are all willing.

The members of the Yu family were beaming with joy. Since the sun was up, guests have been coming to the door one after another.

Yu Zhuzi, his father, and several other brothers greeted the guests at the door. Seeing that more and more guests came to the door, there might not be enough room in the yard.

I had to borrow a yard from the neighbor next door and lead some guests to sit there.

Shen Jiayan arrived neither early nor late, and when he entered Hulu Alley, he saw people coming and going in front of Yu's house, which was very lively.

At the entrance of the alley, there were a few familiar women who were holding the soles of their shoes and said that Yu's house was so lively today. When they saw Shen Jiayan, they were stunned for a moment.

When she passed by, she came back to her senses. You pushed me and you pushed you and asked each other: "Is it because I was dazzled just now? Why did the girl who passed by just now look like that girl from the Shen family?"

"No! I feel dazzled too! Didn't she get driven to the countryside by the Mu family? Why did she come back?"

"Don't let it go, you can only come back and ask your mother's family to take you in? You are still young, how can you keep it?"

……

The women were just idle, sitting at the entrance of the alley, the parents of the east and the west were short-lived, today it can be regarded as seeing a big melon, how could they stay still, put away the soles of their shoes, and followed Shen Jiayan behind.

I thought that Shen Jiayan would go to the Shen's house, but Shen Jiayan went directly to Yu's house. That woman looked at me and I looked at you, she was a little confused.

The Shen family was not far away, and they were not afraid of the height of the stage when watching a play, so they simply took a child and taught him a few words, and asked him to report to the Shen family that Shen Jiayan had returned, and then they moved the small bench and sat down. Not far from Yu's house, ready to watch a play.

When Shen Jiayan arrived at the gate of Yu's house, Yu Zhuzi saw him, and invited him inside with a smile on his face. He was afraid that Shen Jiayan would feel uncomfortable, so he asked his sister to take her to the back room to go with the female relatives.

Shen Jiayan said congratulations, and then gave a red envelope at the place dedicated to receiving gifts and bookkeeping under the corridor, and then followed into the back room.
