Chapter 297 Full Moon Banquet
Hearing Jing Wei saying that Yun Si was defying the imperial authority and being disrespectful to the village chief, Yun San looked at the servants outside.
The servant felt a little guilty, as it was obvious that what the other party said was true.
But now the one who beat people was Jing Wei, and the one who was injured was his own brother. Yun San still felt that he could use this incident to tear a hole in the village chief's mansion.
The reason why he came to such a remote county like Dongping County was because his eldest brother had recently taken in a concubine. The concubine was young and beautiful, and it was said that she had some extraordinary connections behind her, so she was deeply loved by his eldest brother.
The eldest son of the Yun family has few children. Not long after the other party got married, she became pregnant but has been depressed ever since. Finally, the eldest brother had no choice but to vent his anger for her.
In fact, he was originally asked to come to Dongping County just to pretend and make the concubine happy and give birth to the child.
But when Yun San came to Dongping County and saw with his own eyes how prosperous the Hongyan Teahouse was making every day, he immediately wanted to take it over. However, the owner behind the Hongyan Teahouse was the Dongping Township Lord, and even if Yun Sanshi had the courage, he would not dare to use force against the township Lord.
Yun San's initial idea was to open a teahouse exactly like Hongyan Teahouse to squeeze the other teahouse out of business. When the other teahouse closed down, he could take over the profitable business alone. Just thinking about how much money he would make every day made Yun San so happy that he couldn't sleep.
But he never expected that a country bumpkin would rise from a phoenix to become the village chief, and his background was not bad at all. No matter what his Yunlai Inn did, the other party would remain standing.
Even though the Hongyan Teahouse stopped performing, they still came up with new ways to attract customers. Not only was there no opera in his inn, but teahouses in Dongping County that could perform operas sprang up like mushrooms after a rain. The operas that the Jiang family troupe had performed at the Hongyan Teahouse were performed dozens of times a day in various teahouses, and the customers were tired of them.
At this time, Hongyan Teahouse just used its brains a little, and those customers who were looking for something new came back.
Some customers even began to miss the actors from the Jiang Family Troupe whom they had not seen for a long time, and begged the owner of the Hongyan Teahouse to invite the Jiang Family Troupe to perform a few songs.
The shopkeeper kept putting it off, but finally agreed to the guests' request with reluctance. On the day when the Jiang family troupe returned to the stage, the Hongyan Teahouse was packed with people more than ever before, and all the guests were regular customers of the teahouse.
Jiang was so moved that he shed tears on the spot. The word "sentiment" was firmly rooted in the hearts of the guests. After that, whenever they heard other people perform Jiang's famous operas, they would always say, "This opera was still sung best by Jiang!"
After spending half a year trying to bring down the Hongyan Teahouse, not only did he fail, but in the end he couldn't even recoup the money he invested. Master Yun San was furious but there was nothing he could do.
They were all about to go back home, but who knew that Luhuabai from Luhua Town suddenly appeared. After Yun San tasted it once, he knew there was huge profit in it. He was jealous and unwilling to give up this thing.
He sent people to Luhua Town to steal the recipe, but his people were discovered and chased into the mountains, where they were chased by wolves. He finally escaped from the wolves but was tortured to death.
Yun San was so angry that he tried to make trouble for the village head's mansion, but he was always discovered and defused. The two brothers could only curse Cui Qingyi every day in the mansion. After learning that the village head's mansion had given birth to two girls, it seemed that they finally had the upper hand in this struggle. If they couldn't win the fight, they would try to gain the upper hand with words.
After being beaten, they wanted to confirm the reputation of the Township Lord's Mansion as a bully, but who knew that the other party was also waiting to deal with them.
But Yun San was not afraid. He had already sent a pigeon letter to his eldest brother in Beijing. This time, the brothers would work together to bring disaster to the Dongping Township Lord's Mansion.
In the hall, Yun San grinned and said, "Your Excellency, the status of the village chief is indeed precious, but you cannot take human life lightly. Now that you have injured someone, you still want to shirk responsibility. Please help us."
Naturally, the plaintiff and the defendant each had their own reasons. Wang Xiaoqian had already ordered someone to bring the owner and waiter of the teahouse that day, and now it was just the right time to bring them up for questioning.
But all the questions he asked were useless. Wang Xiaoqian, with two big dark circles under his eyes, waved his hand and postponed the trial for another time.
For some reason, both sides nodded in approval of this approach. Master Yun San was hoping that people from the capital would make an effort, preferably using this incident to destroy Cui Qingyi's title as village chief.
But as he waited, his eldest brother went to the Dali Temple as a guest first.
The new concubine that the eldest son of the Yun family took in turned out to be a criminal named Chen Pingting who was exiled to the Northern Territory last year. After receiving the letter of accusation, the Dali Temple entered the Yun Mansion to arrest her. Being able to secretly keep the exiled criminal in the capital must have far-reaching implications, and the first person to be implicated is the Sixth Prince who the Yun family always talks about.
The Sixth Prince had always been a cockfighting and running errand boy, and was inexplicably questioned by the Dali Temple. He went back confused and angry, and the next day, Concubine Yun was sent back with a divorce letter.
Logically speaking, she was already a concubine and was listed in the royal book of the emperor, so she was a person of status. However, the Sixth Prince was the emperor's cousin. His elder brother had stood on the wrong side in the battle for the throne, which resulted in him not being valued over the years.
Fortunately, the emperor was a magnanimous person, and as long as the brothers did not cause trouble, they lived a good life. The Sixth Prince was even more cautious, and he did not expect that something big would happen.
The emperor ordered a thorough investigation of everyone around the Sixth Prince. The already timid Sixth Prince was almost frightened to death. The first thing he did after he recovered was to send the woman who had caused him trouble back home.
Although he had not given Cui Qingyi potato seeds before, Zhou Yanxiu always believed that the Dongping Township Leader belonged to his camp. When he saw people attacking her, who knew that the ultimate target of attacking the Dongping Township Leader was not him? Zhou Yanxiu hit the dog when it was down, and the crisis brought by the Yun family was quietly resolved.
Unexpectedly, Chen Pingting could still hide the truth and stay in the capital. Cui Qingyi sighed and put the matter behind her. However, she didn't know that there was a petty-minded person in her family who was secretly waiting to give the foul-mouthed Yun brothers a big lesson.
Jing Wei held his twin daughters in his hands for fear of dropping them, and held them in his mouth for fear of them melting, so he firmly disagreed with Cui Qingyi's idea of a simple full-month celebration.
Cui Qingyi also went with him, and the full moon celebration of the two little ones was celebrated with great ceremony, with a three-day banquet held in the county.
The village chief's mansion does not accept gifts, and everyone in the county can come to the two daughters' full moon banquet to share in the joy.
On the day of the full moon banquet, the village head and his wife had a clear division of labor. Jing Wei sat at the top, holding two swaddling clothes in his long arms, one on the left and one on the right. Cui Qingyi, dressed in new clothes and with a smile on her face, entertained the guests.
The women who came to attend the full moon banquet wanted to take a closer look at the two young masters of the village chief's mansion but did not dare to get close. However, a group of men had no taboos and came close to Jing Wei to take a look.
Voices kept coming from the crowd: "Boss Jing, these two young ladies have pretty eyebrows and eyes, and they have quite a bit of your charm."
