After crossing, I want to be with you every day

Chapter 43 Wedding Banquet
1000 taels of silver, to the country people, that is simply a huge sum of money, a wealth that they would never dare to imagine in their lifetime.

But from Chen Xinglou's point of view, the 1000 taels of silver are really nothing.

Although Gaoyang County is not a very rich county, the shops with backyards in the county town cost three to four hundred taels of silver for a set.

With this 1000 taels, I can buy up to three shops.

Besides, considering the current situation of the Lu family, Chen Xinglou couldn't spend all the 1000 taels of silver.

I simply took out another 200 taels and bought two pavements with backyards, and the location is good, the pavement is also large, and the county magistrate took care of it, which cost 720 taels. If there is no relationship with the county magistrate, it is estimated to be 800 taels Even the silver may not be taken down.

There are people doing business in the shop now, and Chen Xinglou also arranged for Ah Zhong to re-sign a lease contract with both of them. With the remaining 480 taels, Chen Xinglou still wants to buy some land for his younger sister.

To live in this kind of place, land is king.

There is no good land in Lujia Village. Chen Xinglou took people to look around in the past two days, and finally bought 180 mu of land near the county seat. [-] taels.

Chen Xinglou handed over the remaining 300 taels to Chen Xingyan.

"This is the house deed and the land deed. You have taken over. The [-] acres of land are now rented out, and the rent is collected twice a year. You can let Da Xiong go, or you can arrange someone else. I was thinking, Aren't you going to leave Ah Zhong with you?"

Chen Xingyan quickly refused: "No need. Ah Zhong has been with my brother for the longest time, and my brother has always trusted him, so let him stay by your side. As for me, there are Qi's mother and daughter by my side, brother can do whatever he wants." rest assured."

"Well, I'm studying in the capital anyway, and it's not too far from here. If you have anything to do, write to me. If Big Bear dares to bully you, I'll take someone to pick you up and go to the capital with me."

Originally, Chen Xinglou's plan was to take his sister away.

Before he came, he didn't think that his well-educated younger sister would really like a rough guy.

But unexpectedly, Lu Daxiong is not only a reckless man, but also has some real skills.

Now it can be regarded as having a serious job in the inspection department. If he gets a chance to make a contribution or something in the future, maybe he can really make a name for himself.

Considering that Chen Xinglou would go back to the capital to study, after discussing with Lu Daxiong, Wang and Lu Daxiong moved up the wedding date by ten days.

Although Chen Xinglou was reluctant, he really couldn't delay going back to the academy, otherwise he would be held accountable by the teachers.

Chen Xingyan's wedding dress was the red wedding gown that Lou had kept hidden at the bottom of the box all those years ago. The stitches and threads on it were all embroidered by Lou himself.

Back then, Mrs. Lou realized that she might not have much time, so she started preparing her daughter's wedding dress early.

That year, Chen Xingyan was only 12 years old.

Chen Xingyan didn't make any changes to the wedding dress. Although it was a little loose, she just tightened the straps inside.

Chen Xinglou watched the sedan chair being carried out of the small courtyard, and with the sound of whistling and beating, it got farther and farther away from him, and he felt really uncomfortable.

After standing for a long time, Lu Sanbao came over with trembling courage, "Master Chen, according to the rules here, elder brother is going to be married off, that is to say, you can go to Lu's Village to drink wedding wine."

Chen Xinglou was stunned for a moment. There are different customs for weddings and funerals in different places, but the customs for giving a wedding are still the same.

Chen Xinglou became a little anxious at the moment, and quickly turned back to tell his followers, "Be careful, and keep your eyes open when you arrive at Lujia Village. If there is anyone who doesn't have eyes, we have to tell that rough guy!"

"Yes, son."

"Go, go, go, go!"

Naturally, Chen Xinglou would not let go of this opportunity, so he immediately sent people to prepare the carriage.

Today's Lujia Village is extremely lively. It can be said that it has been the most lively and ostentatious wedding banquet in the entire village in the past 20 years.

On a happy day, even if Lu Daxiong doesn't like the old lady's family, considering that they are all clansmen, he can't refuse the door.

There were more than thirty tables set up inside and outside the courtyard, and all the tables were full.

There were two tables among them, some of Lu Daxiong's colleagues after he went to the inspection department.

Just after the ceremony here, before Chen Xingyan was sent into the bridal chamber, it was heard that the county magistrate and the patrol envoy had arrived.

One is Lu Daxiong's immediate boss, and the other is the parent officer of Gaoyang County, which gave Lu Daxiong great face.

Of course, it is clear at a glance who these two are here for.

Chen Xinglou also greeted them warmly, and then invited them to the house for a banquet.

Because of the limited space, four tables were placed in the room, two of which were placed together, and the county magistrate and inspector naturally invited them to a separate room to be honored as honored guests. And counting Chen Xinglou, there were only six distinguished guests.

Old Mrs. Lu was sitting on the table outside, staring in the direction of Xitang with hatred on her face, still thinking about it.

"I'm just saying that I'm so confident. This is because I'm attracted to a big man, so I can't look down on our relatives who come from mud legs. This kind of person is unfilial and unrighteous. Don't expect to have any great achievements in the future! "

This table is full of their family, Lu Erzhu frowned slightly and said nothing.

When Chen Xiaofang saw her mother-in-law cursing her son like this, she was naturally angry, but on the day of great joy, it was not good for her to fall out with her mother-in-law here.

Lu Sanbao and his wife were helping to greet the guests, they didn't arrange a seat at the wine table, and the two of them were so busy that they kept their feet on the ground.

Lu Sigou and Lu Wufu sat at the next table. They were both unmarried teenagers, sitting with a few half-grown children. Once the food was served, no one spoke, and they just ate the meat desperately.

It can be said that Mrs. Lu and the others had this table in a corner of the courtyard. Neither Lu Laohan nor Mrs. Wang paid any attention to their table, mainly because they felt that their family was really outrageous!

That is to say, when Sanbao came over, he brought a pheasant and a basket of red dates, while the others came empty-handed.

Chen Xiaofang originally wanted to bring some things, but Lu Erzhu refused.

The reason is also very simple, because in the past few days, the old lady scolded Lu Daxiong in his ears every day for not being able to tell who is near and who is far, and that he is a big fool who opens his eyes and makes people fool him!

After Chen Xiaofang had a quarrel with him last time, Lu Erzhu collected the money by himself for a long time and refused to let her manage it.

A few days ago, Chen Xiaofang sent two new quilts over. Although the cotton cloth was used, it was not red.

When Mrs. Wang saw this thing, she knew that Chen Xiaofang's life was difficult.
