After living in Zhuangzi for a month, the construction of new houses in the village is almost finished.
Song Qiuzheng was discussing with Lao Yuan about hosting a warm house wine.
Their family hasn't held a happy event in several years, so this time they have a warm-house reception, they have to make it a lively one.
Lao Yuan said: "We don't have many relatives in our family. Although we want to have a lively party, there are probably no more than ten tables. Let's see how we decide on the banquet."
"We have twelve dishes for the banquet, and the staple food is white rice. We are used to it! At that time, everyone in the village will be invited. There will be only about 20 households. Let's all come together and have a good time. We don't have to have only two people in a family.
, I don’t have many relatives at all.”
Song Qiu always remembered what she had said before, that when old Yuan's sixtieth birthday was over, she would give her a grand party with a flowing banquet.
She keeps working hard and will always be able to do it one day.
Now, she thought that the warm house wine was a start. Although it was not possible yet, she would not hold a flowing banquet, but she still had this idea of letting the whole village, young and old, come to have a banquet together.
With all the people of Songshan Village, old and young, there would only be enough people to sit at tables of twelve or three, plus relatives, uncle's family, and aunt's family.
In other words, loose and point, that is, fifteen or six seats can reach the sky.
She can still manage this kind of banquet.
When Old Yuan heard that he wanted to invite everyone in the village, he thought that his family had no relatives, but these villagers were close to him, so he nodded and said: "Okay, it's up to you!"
"This greenhouse needs to be looked at for a good time, be careful! When you return to the village tomorrow, ask your village chief grandpa to help check it out!"
All weddings are held on an auspicious day, and Song Qiu believed this, so he nodded in agreement.
Set a date so that you can say hello to Mr. Dashao at that time, lest someone else decides to have a banquet with him on that day and then bumps into you.
Although she knew how to host the banquet herself, and there were many helpers in the inn, when it came to hosting the banquet, everyone invited the waiter, and she invited them too.
There are more than a dozen seats, so she has to take care of the trouble herself, and she has to wait for customers that day!
After deciding on the greenhouse, Old Yuan turned around and continued to talk about the furniture in the new house, "I looked at our new house, and I have never seen it in this town with your neat designs.
Yes, if it doesn’t have matching furniture, then this new house will be in vain.”
It's like a fair, good-looking and noble person wearing ragged clothes, it looks awkward.
Song Qiu listened and couldn't help but smile as she thought about how the house that Master Cheng built according to her drawings and modified the rules was revealed day by day.
These days, everyone in the village likes to go to the gentle slope just to see the new house.
"It has to be matched with matching furniture, but good furniture is not cheap. I plan to equip us with some first, and then when we have enough money, we can slowly fill it up."
"I went to town yesterday and asked my elder brother to help introduce a good furniture store in Dongling County. I am planning to go there in two days and see it myself."
She doesn't have much money in her hands now. She bought a thousand taels of silver from selling starch prescriptions, but after a trip to the county town, she still had more than 800 taels left.
Then the income from hot and sour noodles, as well as the noodle business with Fang Jie, all added up, I made more than 700 taels in the past few months before and after.
The income from the inn's tea shed has covered the wages and expenses, but there is nothing left.
We also have to get rid of the labor costs, wood and bricks to build a new house!
So the cash she had available was only 1,500 taels.
Now that the war is stable, she has other plans to make, so naturally she can't use all the money to buy furniture.
So she only planned to buy the furniture she needed first, and then add other items slowly later.
Think about it this way, the most urgent thing is to make more money, otherwise you won’t be able to spend enough!
Song Qiu flipped through a small notebook to make plans. She was used to writing down everything she wanted to do, so she could sort things out more smoothly.
Warm house wine, buy furniture, find time to go to Qingping Mansion...
One by one, they are all things to be done in a hurry.
The spring breeze in March came through the window, refreshing the heart and mind, and there were a few insects and birds chirping in the yard.
When I calm down and think about it, it's quite nice to live in this village, and it feels like a peaceful time.
But this is Huangjia Village, which is still far away from Songshan Village. She is used to living in Songshan Village, and she prefers Songshan Village.
Therefore, it is inevitable to build a new house and live there again.
When she thought about the small attic planned for herself, she couldn't help but feel a bit of anticipation in her heart.
"Sister Aqiu!"
In the silence, Aling's voice suddenly sounded, with a bit of urgency.
Song Qiu leaned out and saw Aling running into the hospital, followed by the panting Lihua, "I'm here! Lihua, why are you back?"
When Ah Ling saw her, he didn't even bother to enter the house and went straight to the window, "Sister Ah Qiu! Oh no, some officers and soldiers came to the village to arrest Zaohua's family! Aunt Hugua, Zaohua and Shidan'er have already been arrested.
Alright, the officers and soldiers are coming to our village to catch Uncle Hugua!"
"What are you going to do to arrest them? What happened?" Song Qiu was confused when he heard this.
Ah Ling originally returned to the village to practice martial arts with his uncle, but the officers and soldiers entered the village in great force. The whole village was alarmed, thinking that something had happened, but it turned out that they were here to arrest people.
What the officers and soldiers said was reasonable, and they were not arresting people randomly. All of them could only watch helplessly.
She immediately rushed over to report the news, so as not to worry Sister Aqiu about what happened when the officers and soldiers came in later.
Lihua continued: "It's Xinghua! She murdered the prince, and the emperor ordered her family to be confiscated and exterminated. The uncle's family and the third uncle's family have been imprisoned in the county jail. My father saw the Liu family in the town and they were also arrested.
!”
"Knowing that Fourth Uncle's family would not be able to escape, I asked Dad to drive us back in a car. Just in time to see Fourth Aunt and Zaohua Shidan'er being arrested."
"The officers and soldiers are expected to arrive at Zhuangzi in a quarter of an hour to arrest Fourth Uncle!"
When Song Qiu heard that such a thing had happened, she couldn't help but sigh when she thought of Zhang Xinghua.
This was true. She had thought that Zhang Xinghua's brain was not very bright and Gong Dou must have been used as a gunman.
But she didn't expect that her move would be directly caused by Wang Zhan. How long had it been before someone planned to kill the prince?
If he didn't say anything about his own life, but also implicated his family, it really made people don't know what to say. What a disaster without water!
One glory may not necessarily lead to both prosperity, but one loss will surely lead to both loss.
She was glad that the Lihua family split up and returned to the Li family, while Grandma Deng also divorced the Zhang family and became the daughter-in-law of the Li family.
Otherwise, everyone will be implicated now.
She didn't sympathize much with Zhang Digua's family and Zhang Gugua's family, but she couldn't stand it if Aunt Hugua and Zaohua were to be beheaded.
But right now, she seems to have no choice. How can she stop the officers and soldiers from arresting people?
In that case, let alone saving others, he would also be in trouble.
It is also a crime to hinder the officers and soldiers from carrying out their errands.
"Oh, we were living a good life, why did something like this happen? Ah Qiu, Zaohua and Shidan'er are still so young, what should they do if they are really beheaded?" Lihua's eyes turned red with anxiety.
Aling rolled his eyes, "With my skills, it is not difficult for this group of officers and soldiers to rescue them. How about I kidnap them halfway? Let them escape far away and never come back?"
