Liu Rumei suddenly asked again, "By the way, what about the new house? Where is it located? Could it be one of your old houses?"
Cui Hongyu smiled and pointed forward, "There is a new house, but it hasn't been decorated yet, so we have to hurry up in the next two days."
"I'll call the sisters in the village and they'll all come over to help."
Soon Hetou Village became lively. When they heard that Chen Xiaobei was getting married, the villagers naturally helped with the wedding ceremony, while those with no money helped others.
Most people don't have money, so they just come to help.
Carpenter Zhang even volunteered to finish all Chen Xiaobei's furniture and send it in to arrange it within three days.
It is very rare in Hetou Village to have so many people working on one thing, and even the ancestors were alarmed.
He sat under the big willow tree, smiling from ear to ear as he watched so many people busy around.
There were villagers nearby, so they asked him curiously, "Old ancestor, Chen Xiaobei is getting married. Seeing how happy you are, it's as if you are getting married yourself."
The ancestor paused his crutch and said, "Since I can remember, no one in our village has ever married two wives."
"But look at Dana Cui from Cuijiazhuang. His concubine is married to a third wife."
"Cui Dana has given birth to a lot of sons. If you compare it like this, I think Chen Xiaobei and Chen Xiaobei are not enough, so it will take three or four to marry."
"If you marry a few more wives one by one, and our Hetou Village can flourish, then there will be hope."
The villagers laughed loudly after hearing this, "Okay, then you go and tell Chen Xiaobei and ask him to marry five, six, seven or eight."
As he spoke, everyone laughed again.
At this time, in Qingniu County, Tian Wen, Ma Han and others were back again.
Tian Wen returned to his room, which had been turned into a mess.
Think about it, if Wang Heng can have his portrait, then he can naturally find his home.
Fortunately, his fake beard was still there. After carefully grooming it in front of the mirror for a long time, Tian Wen returned to the appearance of Tian Wen, the shopkeeper of Zuixian Tower.
What surprised him was that although the backyard was messy, there was almost no movement in his restaurant. This at least showed that Wang Heng and the others still had integrity and a bottom line.
Tian Wen opened the door panel of his Zuixian Building, making the front and back bright, to disperse the bad luck first.
Some familiar guests wanted to come for dinner, but he persuaded them to leave.
There are no cooks or waiters, so naturally this restaurant cannot open for business.
At this moment, there was a sound of horse hooves, and it was Liu Rumei's personal maid Xiaoqing.
Liu Rumei is a celebrity in the county, so Tian Wen naturally recognizes Xiao Qing and waves to him from all the way.
"Miss Xiaoqing, are you okay with Miss Liu? Come and sit with me when you have time."
Xiao Qing, however, jumped off the horse and said, "Shopkeeper Tian just wants to see you for something."
Tian Wen was stunned, and quickly stood up and handed over his hands, "If you have anything to do, just ask me. As long as I can do it, I will go through fire and water..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Qing raised his hand to stop him, "Okay, Shopkeeper Tian, it's not that scary. I'm here to tell you a happy event."
"The head of Hetou Village, Chen Xiaobei, is going to get married in three days. The banquet will start tomorrow. I want to hire a cook like you. It would be best if the rest of the party also goes over to help with the preparations."
Hearing this, Tian Wen obviously misunderstood, "Okay, okay, please go back and tell Miss Liu that this is a major event in her life. Thank you for her looking up to me..."
Xiao Qing glared and said, "Hey, where are you thinking? You are not marrying my lady, but my lady is helping him make arrangements."
As he spoke, he heard another sound of horse hooves behind him, and then someone asked loudly, "Shopkeeper Tian, what's going on? You're talking so happily."
Tian Wen and Xiao Qing turned around and looked over. It was Hu Fan, the magistrate of Qingniu County. Next to him was Master Mao You, and behind him were a thousand garrison troops.
Qingniu County returned to the hands of the prince, and Hu Fan naturally came back to reorganize government affairs.
Tian Wen cupped his fists and said hello quickly, "Oh, Magistrate Hu, this young girl told me that Chen Xiaobei from Hetou Village is getting married, and asked me to take the cook and waiter to prepare a banquet for him."
Hu Fan looked at Xiaoqing and asked with a smile, "Xiaoqing, I wonder which girl this Chen Xiaobei married?"
"Oh, a man named Huang Ying is a foreigner. I don't know the details."
Hu Fan didn't have much contact with Huang Ying and the others. He only knew that Chen Xiaobei hired a female teacher named Huang Ying, that's all.
"Okay, Chen Xiaobei's marriage is a big event, and I have to join in the fun."
At this time, Liu Rumei was still busy in the county town. According to the rules of marriage, she started to buy silk and satin.
These are all to be given to Huang Ying as betrothal gifts.
Liu Rumei admired and was grateful to Chen Xiaobei. Chen Xiaobei didn't know how much he had helped him, so it was inevitable to take this opportunity to return the favor.
Therefore, Liu Rumei purchased a lot of supplies.
Four carriages loaded with dozens of boxes arrived at Hetou Village.
Of course, these four carriages are also betrothal gifts.
The fronts of the four horses are all hung with bright red silk, which looks quite festive.
Just as the villagers were talking around, someone suddenly shouted, "Look, Chen Xiaobei is here."
Chen Xiaobei led the village protection team and carried the last batch of military supplies. As soon as he entered the village, he was surrounded by villagers and walked under the big locust tree.
He didn't even meet Cui Hongyu.
At this time, Cui Hongyu was busy working in his new home and could not care about Chen Xiaobei.
"Chief Xiaobei, go and have a look, your betrothal gift is here."
This sentence confused Chen Xiaobei, "What, me, me, what betrothal gift?"
"Oh, why are you still pretending to be stupid? You will get married in three days for the betrothal gift you gave to Miss Huang Ying. You didn't tell me in advance about such a big thing."
I.
Xiaobei was speechless for a while, should I tell you in advance? I don't even know, Cui Hongyu must have done something good again.
Alas, I don’t know if it is a blessing to have a wife who is so enthusiastic to let his man marry a second wife.
Surrounded by everyone, Chen Xiaobei came to the big locust tree.
Liu Rumei put her hands behind her back and tilted her head to look at Chen Xiaobei. When she saw him coming, she pointed to the four carriages behind her.
"Brother Xiaobei, are you satisfied with four tall horses, four carriages, plus twelve boxes of betrothal gifts, including silk and satin?"
Chen Xiaobei said in his heart, so what if I am satisfied, so what if I am dissatisfied, you don't need my consent at all.
Seeing that he remained silent, Liu Rumei continued to smile and said, "Why are you still standing there in a daze? Send it to Miss Huang Ying quickly."
Chen Dayong and others made a fuss again, pushing Chen Xiaobei forward to hold the reins of the carriage, and walked towards the school.
After all, Huang Ying lives in the school, and the betrothal gift must be sent to the school.
Seeing Chen Xiaobei back, Huang Ying was surprised and happy, and was about to rush forward.
As soon as he took two steps forward, he was pulled back by Shen Ruyan.
"Sister, be more reserved and don't pounce on a man when you see him. You haven't even passed the test yet."
Huang Ying's face turned slightly hot when he said it.
