The atmosphere in the main room is quite good.
But this time they were not entertaining Old Madam Shen and Ji Mingxuan, so except for Jiang who was holding the child in the main room with Old Madam Shen, Gu Xuelan and Cheng Yue had gone out to make arrangements.
Xue Hanyu also went out with Cheng Yue. Although they were of different generations, Mrs. Shen had a good chat with Jiang.
As for Ji Mingxuan, he said that he was not the county magistrate today, but came to a friend's house to share in the good fortune. Seeing that Old Lady Shen was chatting with someone, he did not accompany the old lady and went outside to watch everyone do things.
At first, the people in Xinghua Village were a little restrained, but when they saw that Ji Mingxuan was always smiling and very easy-going, they gradually relaxed.
Cheng Yue always felt that someone was looking at her. After looking for her several times, she found that it was their county magistrate.
He still looked at her openly, and every time his eyes met hers, he would smile and nod, which made Cheng Yue feel confused.
The Huang and Xie families arrived soon after.
After almost everyone arrived, the food started to be served.
There are a total of 41 households and 212 people in Xinghua Village. Including the newly arrived Shanshui and Ming families, there are 43 households in total. However, because the two families have small populations, the village population only increased by four.
There were a total of thirty tables outside, and even after all the villagers of Xinghua Village took their bowls, there were still many left.
This buffet is not just for the villagers, people with nothing to do in the neighboring villages can also come and eat.
Especially the group of people led by Skinny Monkey who had conflicts with the Cheng family before, they were so shameless that they also came.
The Cheng family naturally wouldn't say anything. This was a happy occasion, and as long as no one caused trouble, everyone wanted it to be lively and festive.
Not only did people from the neighboring village come, but people from the city also came specifically.
These were all when we set up the stall before. We told everyone that we would be taking a four-day break because our family was preparing a buffet. Some customers asked if they could come to the buffet, and the Cheng family naturally said yes.
Cheng Shun and Cheng Wu took Cheng Jinyan to the big dam outside and asked Cheng Jinyan to say a few words. In such a happy occasion, the protagonist of the buffet must speak.
Cheng Jinyan did not mince words and spoke to the villagers as usual, inviting everyone to eat and drink well and to come back for dinner in the evening, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow.
Everyone liked Cheng Jinyan to begin with, and they liked him even more when they saw that he was still the same as before after passing the imperial examination.
People in the neighboring village and the city were extremely envious.
How come such a scholar came from Xinghua Village?
Cheng Yue did not sit at the table to eat. She asked Gu Xuelan and Jiang to accompany Old Lady Shen and the women from the Huang and Xie families. She watched as the dishes were served outside and took care of whatever was missing.
After finishing their meal, several sisters-in-law in the village came to help Cheng Yue. They asked Cheng Yue to carry the bowls to eat, and then she let go.
Xue Hanyu ate little and left the table quickly.
Cheng Yue took this opportunity to pull Xue Hanyu into his room.
"Hanyu, what did Master Ji say?"
After entering the house, Cheng Yue pulled Xue Hanyu to the window, looked outside, and asked.
"Ayue, I'm sorry."
Xue Hanyu lowered his head and twisted his hands together, looking as if he had done something wrong and was at a loss.
"Hmm? What?"
Cheng Yue was stunned and looked at Xue Hanyu.
"That's right, I'm just stupid. Brother Mingxuan discovered my intention!"
Xue Hanyu looked up at Cheng Yue, then lowered his head again. His voice was choked and he looked like he was about to cry.
