Chapter 195 Banquet



Zhao looked at the harmonious atmosphere at the table and sighed, "Our Xiaowen got married last year, and Xiaohua is also old enough to get married. It would be great if we could find someone from your village this time."

Zhou smiled and didn't say anything. It might be difficult for girls in the village to get married nowadays, so she couldn't make a guarantee.

There won't be much noise at the Zhou family's place today, mainly because there are so many guests, but there will definitely be noise at the Yang family's place. No matter which family it is, Chunxiao has no intention of joining in the fun. She wants to catch up on her sleep quickly. She hasn't had a good rest these days due to the hassle of traveling, and Xiaohua is even worse.

After finishing her meal, she said goodbye to her parents and said she wanted to go back to sleep. Although everyone wanted her to stay and talk, they knew that she had been traveling so hard, so they didn't keep her.

She took the key from her parents and drove the carriage to the end of the village with Xiaohua.

Now everyone in the family was over there, and there was no one on this side. It was already dark, and the place was empty and quiet. The two of them drove the carriage into the yard.

Chunxiao came into the house and lit a few lights, and Xiaohua began to move the luggage into the house.

Chunxiao drove the horse to the newly built stable nearby and fed it some hay and water. The hay in the stable must have been newly laid, a thick layer that was still dry. The horse was tired, so after eating the hay, it lay down to rest and fell asleep in seconds.

"Miss, are you still going to boil water and take a bath before going to bed like before?"

"Yes, take a bath. You can take one too. You can have a good sleep after taking a bath. You can wash the clothes tomorrow when you have time."

"It's okay. After you finish your shower, use the remaining hot water in the pot to wash your clothes. You'll be busy tomorrow, so you may not have time."

"Then use both stoves to heat it. That way, we only need to heat four pots of water at once. Don't worry, put the food in, and I'll cook it with you."

There were really a lot of things in the carriage. The clothes and bags had to be carried twice, and there were also many miscellaneous things. She and Xiaohua ran several times before putting the things in order. They hurriedly started to boil water for a bath. In short, they were very busy.

"Miss, you have to keep your four old clothes away. It will be a big deal if one of them is lost." Xiaohua carefully reminded her before taking a bath.

"I know, money-grubber." Chunxiao smiled and said, "I had put it away a long time ago."

As expected, taking a bath in a big bathtub makes you feel comfortable all over, especially on such a cold day. Unfortunately, you can't soak for too long because the water cools down very quickly.

When Chunxiao came out, Xiaohua had already made the quilt for her.

"You should go wash too. After washing, go to sleep. Don't wash clothes today. You've been so tired these past few days."

"It's okay, miss. I'll put the lamp next to your bed. Remember to blow it out before you go to bed. I'll close the door for you. Just call me if you want some water at night." Xiaohua went out.

Chunxiao lay down in the quilt. It was so warm. She would not do anything today, but she could not sleep in tomorrow.

Tomorrow is Huaitian and Shufeng’s wedding day. There are so many guests, and it would be embarrassing if she went to bed late. Thinking of this, she fell asleep quickly.

The next morning, before it was even light, she was awakened by the noise outside.

"Xiaohua!" There was the voice of Xiaohua talking to someone outside.

"Hey!" Xiaohua came over quickly, "Miss, you should sleep a little longer. It's Brother Dashan. He said he's here to pull the carriage and pick up passengers."

She lay down to sleep for a while, and got up at daybreak. Xiaohua fetched some water for her to wash.

"I won't go there. I'll stay at home and look after the house today." Xiaohua stood by and handed her a towel.

"Didn't you say you wanted to see Shufeng and the others get married? It's okay, let's go together. No one is coming here today."

"No, there's no one at home. You've put in some money, and many people will come to the village for the wedding. I'd better stay here and watch."

"Okay, then you don't have to cook at noon. I'll have someone come to take your place during the meal. If you want to go take a look during the meal, go ahead. Just lock the door."

Xiaohua nodded, "I understand. You don't have to worry about me."

Chunxiao was wearing a new dress today, with red trimmings and a white fox fur collar. It was a perfect match for such a festive occasion. As she walked, villagers greeted her, and several women even followed her to Yan Dashan's house.

She originally wanted to go and see Yang Huaitian, but thinking that she was now the woman's family member, it seemed inappropriate to go there. Anyway, she would go there at the end of the day, so there was no rush. Although she was still there, there were already many people sitting in the yard chatting.

Many people didn't come yesterday, but they were very enthusiastic when they saw her today. Some said that her clothes were beautiful, some said that she was getting more and more beautiful, in short, there were all kinds of compliments.

Chunxiao found Zhou and put the bracelet he forgot to give her yesterday on her hand.

Zhou looked at the bracelet in surprise, then smiled, "Why did you make me wear this? It's inconvenient to work." Although she said this, she looked at the bracelet with infinite love, "How much money did you spend on it? Just wear it if you like it."

"Don't worry about the price, I have one myself." As she said that, she took out her two hands, and sure enough, she was wearing one on each side.

Zhou looked at her hands and then at her clothes. "You look really good in this dress." She stroked her hair with some pity. "My daughter was already pretty, and now that she's dressed up, no one can compare to her."

"Please stop." Chun Xiao smiled. "Today is Shufeng's wedding, not your daughter's. You should tell this to the bride. Oh, where is Shufeng? I have to go see her."

"She's inside. The makeup lady is putting on her makeup. Duo'er and a few other maids from the village are also inside. Go ahead."
