Chapter 371 Simple Folks

The next day,

Near noon, the sky is blue and the rising sun is warm.

Yuelao Town is bustling with people, every household is decorated with lanterns, red silk and brocade, and all kinds of festive paper-cuts, lanterns, couplets, and Chinese characters are all over the town.

Open-air kitchens were set up in the open spaces at the end of the streets. Almost all the cooks from all over the country came here. They were busy without touching the ground. The industrious women nearby came spontaneously, chatting about idle talk and neatly helping to pick vegetables and wash... …

Tables and chairs have been moved out from every household and placed at the gate. Old people and men sit around, drinking tea and spanking.

"Brother Ning doesn't know what kind of bad luck he had, but he managed to marry such a beautiful woman!"

The young man who spoke was Ning Caichen's younger brother, and he had reached the age of getting married. He was very angry when he saw his best friend find a beautiful girl like a fairy.

The young man's third uncle said: "I heard that I went to Jinling to collect some debts, and I met her on the way. I somehow fell in love with her, and made the girl chase her to my house. I won't marry her unless she is him."

"Hey, why did I hear a sour smell? Why, Er Mazi is envious?!"

The dark-faced man who squeezed Er Mazi was very honest. The fragrance of such a beautiful girl filled the air as she passed by, and he couldn't even imagine how comfortable it would be to hold her in his arms!

"True or false? Why did the princess come to our country place?!"

Er Mazi's anger suddenly dissipated, and the shadow of his childhood shrouded his heart. He shrank his neck tremblingly and said casually: "I was just talking casually.

Everyone roared with laughter!

Er Mazi was a little proud when he heard this, but his heart became more and more unbalanced, and he said angrily: "I'll go out soon, maybe I can meet a beautiful girl like Miss Xiaoqian!"

Er Mazi is still talking tough, but actually he is starting to be scared in his heart. He is just deceiving himself and others and doesn’t want to believe it!
Another old man at the same table said: "Do you think Lao Jiu is scaring you? Humph, do you know who that couple is?"

The black-faced man laughed and said: "Come on, why don't you pee and look in the mirror? With your pockmarked face, who can blindly fall in love with you!"

Not to mention the couple, even the two maids look more noble than the county master. They look like they are not ordinary people. If these words reach their ears, not only you, but us will suffer too! "

The old man said: "I heard from my family that the couple is from the capital, and the lady seems to be a princess?"

The clan elder said angrily: "It's not enough to talk about it. Today is different from the past. If it spreads to the Ning family, you will not be able to bear the consequences!"

"The third brother is right, Er Mazi, listen to my brother's advice and go to sleep. You can have everything in your dreams!"

Er Mazi's face turned red with anger, like a brown sugar sesame cake, and he said angrily: "Don't pretend to be a big-tailed wolf here, I don't believe you don't want to!"

"envious!"

"Third uncle is right. The Ning family is not as good as before. Yesterday I went to congratulate Caichen and saw new friends coming to the Caichen family. They were a couple and they brought two maids with them.

Boom boom boom!
Seeing that the words were getting more and more outrageous, a town elder at the same table couldn't help but frown, hit his cane hard, glared and yelled: "Okay, the more you talk, the more outrageous it is. What kind of words will be spread out."

"Aren't you envious?!" Er Mazi asked back.

"who?"

Er Mazi's voice trembled.

"That's right, don't talk about the beautiful lady, I think even the vixen wouldn't be able to speak to you!"

"It's not that serious, is it?"

Haha ...

"That's right, Brother Yu, aren't you still drunk last night?"

"Princess, that is a person in the sky, how could he have anything to do with Brother Ning?!"

The whole table was shocked and in an uproar, and no one wanted to believe it.

Attracted Sakon's attention. The third uncle frowned and used his cane again to remind them to pay attention!
Seeing that he was being questioned, Brother Yu (the old man) immediately became unhappy, but he did not forget the third uncle's reminder and lowered his voice and said: "Why are you lying to me? My mother-in-law heard it with her own ears. Those two maids called that lady princess." !”

Seeing the seriousness of what he said, and knowing that this kind of thing was not something to be joked about casually, the others immediately believed him, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Lao Jiu said with envy: "This time the Ning family has climbed onto a high branch!"

The clan elder then showed a hint of relief and sighed: "Brother Ning is about to make his mark!"

Brother Yu agreed: "Yes, with the princess's support, if Brother Ning goes to Beijing to take the exam, even if he is not the top pick, he will at least be the top pick!"

Er Mazi said longingly: "Brother Ning will become an official in the future, won't our Yuelao Town be developed?!"

Brother Yu laughed: "What does it have to do with the town if Brother Ning is an official?!"

Er Mazi said confidently: "We usually help mother and son. Now that Brother Ning has made a difference, he won't be ungrateful, right?!"

Lao Jiu sneered: "It's just the few of you who are worthless!"

"If you eat the radish steamed bun, what comes out is not fart!" Brother Yu laughed.

Several strong men dragged the sacks towards this side. The clan elder struck his cane and made the final decision:
"Okay, Brother Ning is not that kind of person, but even if he does become an official, we should not cause trouble to him, otherwise others will say that he is acting for personal gain. This will discredit his official reputation, and it will also cause trouble for us. Smear the town!"

Although his words were very honest, before he knew it, his name for Ning Caichen changed from Ning Xiaozi to Ning Geer!
When the others saw the outsider coming, they nodded tacitly and ended the topic!

……

The strong man arrived, holding the sack and tilting it down. Dates, peanuts, longan, and melon seeds fell down, and he hurriedly covered them to prevent them from jumping out of the table.

After a while, a big crowd gathered on the table, and the strong men collected their bags.

The red dates are plump, the yellow-orange longans are large, as if they were freshly picked, the peanuts and melon seeds are also plump, exuding a strong burnt aroma, mixed with the fresh fruity aroma, which is completely delicious. It is not comparable to the tooth sacrifices they usually see and make!

Er Mazi swallowed his saliva, impatiently grabbed a handful of red dates, brought them to his mouth, and swallowed two in one gulp. A rich and sweet fragrance burst out in his taste buds while chewing, making him tremble all over and squint comfortably. The third uncle's face turned red when he raised his eyes and looked shameful, which made the other people's faces get hot too!
The third uncle stood up on crutches and said politely to the strong man: "Thank you for your help, little brother. Please give my congratulations to Ning's sister-in-law..."

"Easy to say, easy to say..."

The strong man replied politely and continued walking to the next table with the sack in hand.

After they walked away, the third uncle sat down tremblingly, stared, and cursed: "What a delicious thing!"

Take a longan, break the peel, carefully put the pulp into your mouth, and taste it carefully.

When the others saw it, they imitated him, and their mouths were full of flavor.

……

Groups of children ran wildly in the streets, following the strong men responsible for distributing dried fruits. They stared at the sacks in their hands and swallowed their saliva.

The brave ones couldn't help but ask for it. Those strong men wanted to tease them, so they reached into the sacks, took out handfuls of red dates, peanuts, longans, and melon seeds, and threw them out, which caused a scramble and made them laugh happily. !

When the nearby villagers heard the commotion, they stretched their heads to see. Some laughed, just taking it for fun, while others laughed loudly, until the strong men came closer, but they were eager to ask them to pour more...

……

Ning's courtyard.

There was an endless stream of villagers who came to congratulate him. They didn't leave even after seeing each other. They stayed to watch the excitement, and the yard was surrounded by water.

There were three Eight Immortals tables placed side by side in the courtyard, covered with red silk. Beautiful porcelain plates were overturned on the tables. Various colored snack residues and dried fruit shells were scattered in a mess.

This is the master's house, so the things prepared are naturally better. All kinds of exquisite snacks, fruits, and candies are extremely rich. Many of them are rare even in the capital.

These simple folks, most of whom had never left the town in their lives, were naturally delighted to see the hunt. They even ate and replenished Jinbao three times, but the supply was still in short supply, so they simply stopped buying it, which allowed those people to stop temporarily!
