Chapter 425 I Will Support You
"Miss, I told them that when we get to Lingnan, I will buy them a big house. Then they will be able to make a lot of money at home!" Chu Ang praised his own wit.
"Is this the idea you came up with?" Xiao Jiuyue looked at Chu Ang in disbelief. With Chu Ang's straightforward personality, how could he come up with such a good idea?
Chu Ang scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "He Changqing and Qu Qingshu told me that when Lei's father and mother arrive in Lingnan, they can't cause trouble for Lei Yan and his sister!"
"Moreover, now that they have arrived in Lingnan, it will not be easy for them to come back!" Chu Ang was also worried about how to help Lei Yan at first, but now he knows!
He told Lei Yan the news, and at the same time, he also fooled Lei's father and mother!
Lei's father and mother agreed to go to Lingnan in the early spring of next year!
"Yeah, that's good." Xiao Jiuyue said, "When are you going to hold the banquet?"
"Twenty-six!" Chu Ang grinned, "Just in time to get married for the New Year!"
"So soon?" Xiao Jiuyue glared at him. "We should have a few tables of banquets for the wedding. Is it still in time?"
"Yes, He Changqing said that his brothers can help. Besides, my house in the village is new, so I can just buy new furniture and live there."
When Chu Ang mentioned getting married, his smile stretched from ear to ear. He said, "Qingshu, Auntie, and Miaomiao have all moved into their new homes. They're right next door to my new house, and they've been taking care of it!"
Last year, Qu Qingshu's family was guarding Chu Ang's new home. This year, they already have their own new home. Qu Qingshu, who has become a scholar, is now also a gentleman in Fu'an Village and is deeply respected by the villagers.
"Okay, then remember to tell me what you need help with." After all, Chu Ang has been helping Lingnan deliver things back and forth for the past two years, and it is really hard work. It is only right for her to give him a generous gift when he gets married!
"Miss, you are truly my benefactor!" Chu Ang looked at Xiao Jiuyue excitedly, then a little embarrassedly said, "It's like this, I'm getting married soon, and I need to have a lively time, so I thought of inviting the Shang family troupe to perform for two days, but the Shang family troupe can't be invited!"
"Lei Yan likes to listen to the operas performed by the Shang family troupe. Miss, can you help me?" Chu Ang looked at Xiao Jiuyue eagerly. Last month, the lady invited people from the Shang family troupe to perform in the village. Now, if the troupe could be invited to the wedding banquet, Lei Yan would definitely be happy!
And his brother-in-law Lei Yan also likes to listen to the New White Snake Opera.
"That's it?" Xiao Jiuyue thought it was a difficult task. She said, "No problem. Just tell troupe leader Shang what song you want to sing!"
"Can you specify the song?" Chu Ang was immediately happy and said, "Thank you, Miss."
As soon as Chu Ang left, Luo Kui started muttering, "I almost lost five taels of silver because of Chu Ang!"
"Stay away from gambling, and you won't lose a penny of your money." Xiao Jiuyue chuckled. Luo Kui was the legendary person with a strong gambling addiction. She wanted to gamble on everything she saw. Unfortunately, her mind was not delicate enough, and her personality was careless. If she gambled with Lian Xin, she would lose nine times out of ten!
"Miss, do you think I can't win?" Luo Kui was a little dissatisfied. Is she so miserable?
Xiao Jiuyue reached out and pinched her bulging cheeks, saying, "Luo Kui, winning once and losing nine times, is it worth it?"
Luo Kui's face was filled with despair. Lian Xin, who was standing beside him, comforted her, "The young lady is still on your side. Otherwise, you would have lost all the five taels of silver!"
"That's right." Luo Kui was instantly comforted. She took Xiao Jiuyue's hand and said, "Miss is still the best."
On December 25th, just after the Little New Year, the village became lively. There were as many people like Chu Ang getting married as last year!
On this day alone, three couples got married.
Although Chu Ang moved to the village later, because he taught at Fu'an Academy with Qu Qingshu, and because of Xiao Jiuyue's relationship, He Changqing also helped Chu Ang to find a wife. For a while, there were quite a few people who came to congratulate Chu Ang!
Xiao Jiuyue looked at the bustling Chu family from afar, and Xiao Jiayuan beside her said, "Sister, are you really not going?"
"No, if I go, no one will be able to relax." Xiao Jiuyue initially wanted to join in the fun and attend the wedding banquet, but later she found that everyone felt awkward and uncomfortable when she arrived.
Xiao Jiuyue simply decided not to go.
"Okay, then I'll go and deliver the gifts. Who knows, I might even get some wedding candy. I'll share it with you then." Xiao Jiayuan said. He had many classmates at Fu'an Academy, and now everyone had agreed to give Chu Ang some gifts!
With the arrival of the Shang family troupe and the happy events of the three couples getting married, the entire Fu'an Village was shrouded in happy and noisy joy.
In the evening, Xiao Jiayuan grabbed some wedding candy and came to share it with Xiao Jiuyue: "Sister, it's such a pity that you didn't go. Sister, come and share in the joy."
"Is the wedding banquet particularly lively?" Xiao Jiuyue leaned on the couch with a warm charcoal fire in front of her. It felt like the room was heated, and she didn't need to wear heavy clothes.
"It's so lively! Chu Ang drank a lot of wine and was so drunk that he laughed like an idiot!"
"We also saw the bride. Lei Yan's sister is quite pretty!"
"Lei Yan cried like a tearful person!"
"When Lei Yan carried her sister out, she almost lost her balance. I need to practice hard. When my sister gets married, I will also carry her out." Xiao Jiayuan rambled on and on, then stood up and tried to jump up, saying, "Sister, when will I be taller than you?"
"You're still young, why are you in such a hurry?" Xiao Jiuyue tapped his forehead lightly and said with a smile, "I'll get married, and I'll take care of it for you, so just stand aside."
When Xiao Jiuyue thought of her elder brother Xiao Jialing, she couldn't help but think of Cui Yao. What would happen if her elder brother knew that Cui Yao was unwilling to marry someone else because of the broken engagement with the Xiao family and even became a nun in a nunnery?
"Big brother..." Xiao Jiayuan puffed out his cheeks and said, "Sister, how about I recite a section with you?"
Xiao Jiuyue couldn't help but smile when she heard his words. She said, "Then you can wait and see. I'm not in a hurry to get married."
"Ah?" Xiao Jiayuan squeezed next to Xiao Jiuyue and asked, "Sister, if you don't get married, I will support you."
"Okay, you support me." Xiao Jiuyue could hardly hold back her laughter. Xiao Jiayuan's serious look was really funny.
On the 28th day of the 12th lunar month, the New Year pig was slaughtered. The Xiao family was large, so they slaughtered six New Year pigs alone.
Xiao Jiuyue processed and transformed the unwanted pig offal into delicious food in the kitchen, which everyone enjoyed with great enthusiasm.
On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, the stove in the kitchen never stops, making flour cakes and frying crispy meat. It is lively and happy.
On New Year’s Eve, the Xiao family’s New Year’s Eve dinner was the most lively one since they came to Fu’an Village. Next year, they will be able to return to Shengjing!
Amid the sound of firecrackers, the 26th year of Emperor Jingdi arrived. In the new year, the Xiao family would surely get rid of the haze and welcome the dawn of the new year.
