Chapter 366: Liu Mansion Wedding Banquet
Chapter 366: Liu Mansion Wedding Banquet
The sixth day of March was the day when Liu Fu, the eldest daughter of Liu Dong's family, got married, which was also a major event for the entire Bingzhou.
Shi Liu could have gone directly south, but he went back to the city just to attend the wedding.
On this day, guests came one after another to congratulate.
This was Shi Liu's second time to attend a banquet at the Liu Mansion. The first time was last year when Old Master Liu celebrated his birthday. At that time, she was still unknown and a nobody when she came to the Liu Mansion. Few people could see her.
But this time it was different.
Nowadays, the inner house of Liu family is managed by Liang. Today is the day when the eldest daughter is getting married, so naturally Liang has the final say. As soon as Shi Liufu came in, Liang asked the nanny to invite her to sit in the main hall.
The guests in the main hall were all the wives of prominent and noble families.
Because Xiahe Village was named the best village in the world by the emperor last year, those who were well-informed knew that Shi Liu was also praised by the emperor. So when they saw her this time, they could no longer treat her as an ordinary village girl.
What's more, few of their husbands, sons, and grandchildren do not like Tongwanzhai's toys, and they themselves also like the food and candies produced by Li Ji.
Besides, everyone can see that Liang values Shi Liu very much. If someone wants to curry favor with the Liu family, it is impossible for her to give Shi Liu the cold shoulder.
For a while, quite a few people started talking to Shi Liu.
After a conversation, I was secretly amazed to see that this legendary pomegranate girl was well-spoken, calm and generous. She was really not an ordinary village girl. No wonder she had such abilities.
Some ladies who saw her good looks and good manners secretly had other ideas in mind. One lady from Luoshui City gossiped, "This lady has rejected all the marriage proposals from the most famous families in Luoshui City. Although she is virtuous and capable, she is too picky and is not a good match."
After hearing this, those who were thinking about it could not help but put it aside.
Did he reject all the marriage proposals from the prominent families in the city? He was just a farmer who got rich later in life. Even if he got rich faster and more powerfully, it couldn't change the fact that he was still a farmer.
In this case, it’s really not worth it to spend this effort on my son.
If someone is so arrogant, and his marriage proposal is rejected, it would be a disgrace to his family, which is not worth it.
However, there are also those who are full of confidence.
Shi Liu vaguely found that the woman in the straight-collared jacket with Baoxiang pattern was a little too enthusiastic. Others just chatted for a while and then went on to other circles, but this woman kept sitting at her table and kept talking to her, making Shi Liu feel like she had met an old lady from the neighborhood committee.
It's quite rare to find a woman here who is so talkative and can talk about family matters.
Shi Liu kept smiling politely, and fortunately Liu Xi came over soon.
"Shi Liu, you are here. Come on, I will introduce you to my cousins."
Shi Liu stood up and politely nodded to the woman and said goodbye.
Liu Xi pulled Shi Liu out of the main hall and headed towards the pond at the back.
In March, the grass is green and the birds are singing. The weather is sunny and the fish in the water are playing and frolicking.
Walking up the corridor, Shi Liu asked curiously, "Aren't you going to introduce your cousin to me?"
"I'll introduce them to you later. I'm just making up an excuse to take you away first." Liu Xi said, pulling Shi Liu to sit in the pavilion.
"What's wrong?" Pomegranate seemed to have sensed something.
Liu Xi said, "You don't know that the Zeng family is a well-known family in the capital, and they have been running weaving and dyeing workshops for generations. But the young master of the Zeng family, that is, the son of Mrs. Zeng, is a prodigal son. He is good at everything except business and studying. You can see him in teahouses, restaurants and theaters during the day. As for at night, you can always find a prodigal son in those red-room prostitutes.
Mrs. Zeng was just fooling people outside. Who in the city who knew the truth would be willing to marry into her family? It would be blind to marry such a spoiled dandy.
"Mrs. Zeng also knew that she couldn't find a family to marry into in the city, so she had to look down! Don't be fooled by her warm and kind face!"
Shi Liu really didn't know the inside story of the Zeng family, but she did know that the Zeng family was quite wealthy, after all, it had been accumulated over generations.
After hearing what Liu Xi said, she also reacted.
She said that Mrs. Zeng's enthusiasm just now seemed like she wanted to find a match for her, and it turned out that she was trying to find a match for her son. Did she think that she was a country girl who was easy to fool?
If you look down on the people in Luoshui City, does that mean you must look down on the people in Fucheng City?
Shi Liu knew the inside story of the Zeng family and had an idea of what was going on. When the meal started, Mrs. Zeng came up to her again. She thought that she had already laid the foundation, and she actually brought up the matter of marriage in some subtle way.
It's really unbelievable that he could date a girl without going through a matchmaker or parents.
Shi Liu didn't give her any face and just took it over with ease.
But Mrs. Zeng, either because she didn't understand or because she was too thick-skinned, continued talking as if Shi Liu had already agreed.
Shi Liu couldn't help but look cold, as this would ruin her reputation.
"Mrs. Zeng, your saliva has splashed into my bowl. How can I drink this soup?"
Ga?
Mrs. Zeng, who was talking about marriage eloquently, was interrupted and was stunned.
Several people at the same table couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.
Mrs. Zeng really treats everyone as a fool for the sake of her son's marriage. Her face is really contemptible.
It's still this Miss Li who talks so interestingly. I thought she would be fooled by Mrs. Zeng's hypocritical face, but she ended up saying this quietly. Oh, it's really funny.
Mrs. Zeng was annoyed and didn't say anything. After all, it was really embarrassing to say that she drooled in front of so many people.
She will be going out for a banquet later.
Her ears finally became quiet. Shi Liu tilted her head, met the mischievous smile in Liu Xi's eyes, and winked playfully.

After the wedding banquet at Liu's house, Shi Liu set out on a journey southwards.
To go south was Qianping County, so she passed by Xiahe Village in the evening and went home to stay for one night, and then met up with Wu Ping and others who had rushed back from Xiangning County.
More than half a month had passed, and Wu Ping and Wu Jin's injuries had almost healed. Shi Liu asked Liang Zheng to go with them. When Liang Zheng came back, Shi Liu couldn't help but ask about the situation on the farm. Knowing that Chaihu had already built the workshop and it had officially started production, she felt relieved.
He called Jiang Bing over and explained all the matters.
Early the next morning, several cars drove out of the village and headed towards Qianping County.
This time in the provincial capital, Shi Liu asked Liu Dongjia for help to buy a few horses.
Those who could ride horses rode horses, and those who couldn't ride took mule carts. The group entered Qianping County before sunset in a mighty procession.
