Chapter 332 Banquet
He Zhiran knew that her mother-in-law was fair, so she quickly said, "Mother, no matter who pays for the money, a courtyard house will be part of Hanyue's dowry."
Seeing this, Mo Jiuye also echoed: "Yes, mother, this is not a difficult matter. As long as Hanyue lives a good life in the future, we can truly feel at ease."
His words were obviously meant to warn Meng Huaining.
As an older brother, he would never stand idly by if his only sister was unhappy in her husband's family in the future.
Meng Huaining could naturally hear Mo Jiuye's hint.
He married the girl he loved, so naturally he would treat her well for the rest of his life. There was no doubt about that, and he didn't need to make any promises. He would prove it with his actions in the future.
The most important thing right now is the issue of their future house.
"Old Madam, Ninth Brother, Ninth Sister-in-law, I can handle the house issue myself. I know you treat Miss Mo well, but this dowry is too heavy."
Meng Huaining never thought about what kind of dowry his future wife would have. After all, he didn't know the current situation of the Mo family.
On the surface, the Mo family is not short of money at the moment, but all of it was earned by raising rabbits after arriving in the northwest.
Building such a nice house does not cost a small amount of money. He is marrying his beloved girl and he will strive for a good life in the future. He has never thought about dowry or not.
This is also what Meng Huaining said from the bottom of his heart.
Mo Jiuye knew best that his wife had been racking her brains these days thinking about the dowry for Han Yue. Now that she had finally decided on the dowry for her sister-in-law, how could she let Meng Huaining snatch it away?
"The dowry is decided by the bride's family. Hanyue's dowry is set. Brother Meng doesn't need to feel pressured."
In front of outsiders, Mo Jiuye gave people the impression of being a man of his word, so Meng Huaining felt that he was powerless to refute him any further.
"In that case, I won't be polite to Brother Nine."
At worst, he could buy a few more shops in the city for Mo Hanyue, which would make up for the dowry.
Mo Hanyue had no idea what Meng Huaining was thinking. When she saw that her goal had been achieved, she lowered her head shyly and said nothing more.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Madam Mo quickly said, "Well, today, Lord Meng and Han Yue's marriage is finalized. It's a happy occasion, and it just so happens that we're having our house's beam-raising ceremony. Everyone who comes to the Mo family today should stay for dinner."
These words clearly told everyone present that the matter was settled and no one needed to say anything more.
The Mo brothers were very perceptive. After hearing what their mother said, they quickly stood up and asked everyone to go to the new house and wait for the banquet to begin.
Mo Hanyue's wish was fulfilled, but it was not appropriate for her to appear too often in front of Meng Huaining, so she took the opportunity to help her sisters-in-law.
What the Mo family didn't expect was that before the beam-raising banquet even started, the villagers started sending gifts one after another.
Their gifts were chickens, ducks and other animals that they had slaughtered and sent over.
Those whose families were better off sent cloth, and those whose families were less well off sent a basket of eggs.
These gifts were considered great gifts for the villagers of Xiling Village, so the Mo family naturally had to remember them one by one.
The villagers' arrival was unexpected. Fortunately, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran had prepared a lot of ingredients and quickly notified the kitchen to increase the quantity.
As soon as noon arrived, the area around the new house was filled with tables and chairs brought by the villagers. After Mrs. Mo said a few words of thanks, everyone sat around the table.
At this time, Nanrui also came with Defei.
He had already delivered the gift in the morning, and now he came here just to show his support.
In addition, he had also made up his mind and decided to live in Xiling Village in the future. It was impossible for him to stay at home. It was necessary to get familiar with these villagers. Today was a good opportunity.
Meng Huaining had never met Nan Rui, but with his keen eyesight, he could be sure that these two people had extraordinary demeanor and were definitely not ordinary merchants or civilians.
Moreover, seeing that the old woman seemed very familiar with Madam Mo, he could be sure that the two families had a close relationship.
No matter who the visitor is, he won't find out unless the Mo family takes the initiative to introduce it.
The Mohist school has many secrets. Just the fact that so many brothers have come back from the dead is hard to accept.
Especially when he came here at the beginning and was entrusted by Fei Nanyu to tell him the news that Mojia Myna was alive, Fei Nanyu thought he was lying.
On the contrary, later on, he found that he had fallen in love with a girl from the Mo family. He knew that it was better for the Mo family's secrets not to be known by those in power in the capital, so he deliberately concealed them.
Now when he passed the news to Fei Nanyu, he only said that the Mo family had settled in Xiling Village, that the whole family participated in the labor, and had accepted this kind of life. There was nothing else.
Just because Meng Huaining doesn’t know Nan Rui doesn’t mean Xie Tianhai and Fang Chuanzhou don’t know him either.
They had served in the court for many years and it was common for them to meet Nan Rui.
Today, the two of them specially asked for leave from the private school to attend the Mohist beam-raising banquet. As soon as they turned around, they saw that familiar face.
The two of them were immediately frightened and broke out in cold sweats, even hoping that they were dazzled and had recognized the wrong person.
However, they did not mistake the person.
Nan Rui brought Defei to the banquet and took a quick look around. Although he had lived in Xiling Village for a long time, he had never met Xie Tianhai and Fang Chuanzhou. He also told the Mo family not to disclose the news of his presence here.
He chose to show up today because he had thought it through completely. He would live an ordinary life like the Mo family from now on. Therefore, he did not continue to hide his appearance in front of others.
Xie Tianhai and Fang Chuanzhou were about to kowtow to Nanrui, but Mo Jiuye quickly stepped forward and stopped them.
Mo Jiuye said softly, "Uncles, just pretend you don't know that person. I will explain it to you slowly later."
When the two heard Mo Jiuye say this, they immediately understood, but they were still a little scared.
However, they are all people who have plans in mind and will not show it too obviously.
The two quickly adjusted themselves and stopped looking in Nanrui's direction, but sat down with the villagers.
Seeing this, Nanrui nodded gratefully towards Mo Jiuye, and was then invited by Madam Mo to have dinner at her table.
The guests took their seats one after another. After Mo Zhongyuan expressed his gratitude again on behalf of the Mo family, the banquet officially began.
Because Meng Huaining was there, the villagers were somewhat restrained. Faced with such delicious food, they did not dare to praise it loudly. They could only lower their heads and put the food into their mouths silently.
Xie Tianhai and Fang Chuanzhou were not afraid of Meng Huaining, but they felt a little uncomfortable seeing King Rui, so they ate a little quickly and left in a hurry.
As for why King Rui appeared here, it was not something they should inquire about given their identities, so the two of them took their curiosity away.
