The brothers also thought of Zheng Xiong's benefits at this time, and they all looked forward to it.
When fate comes, it's so wonderful. Some people work hard without caring about their own lives, while others are happy with it.
When Zheng Xiong led his bodyguards to the thatched house where Wei Hong was, Wei Hong and his younger brothers felt relieved.
The young Wei Si and Wei Wu even stepped forward and called "brother-in-law" affectionately. Wei 2 and Wei 3 followed closely, and only Wei Hong smiled and spoke slowly.
"You're back!"
After running around continuously, Zheng Xiong was also a little tired at this time.
But the moment I saw Wei Hong, that simple greeting was like a husband returning home after leaving home, plain and happy, and all the fatigue was swept away.
"came back."
"I went to cook."
Quickly dismounting, Zheng Xiong walked to the courtyard.
"No, I have already booked a banquet. I will ask the neighbors and the elders of the family to arrange the ceremony under the witness of everyone."
"Is this the rule?"
Wei Hong didn't quite understand Zheng Xiong's operation. Although he was not well-informed, he had seen some marriages among his neighbors, and he didn't know if the wedding of this wealthy family was unusual.
"Didn't you tell your neighbors about the treat yesterday? We just happened to do it together."
"The subsequent process has to be done slowly. It's not convenient for me to come and go frequently."
"Um."
In the past, Wei Hong, the eldest sister, had always been decisive, but now she looked like a little daughter-in-law, which made Wei Hong's younger brothers a little uncomfortable.
"Sister, brother-in-law, hurry up. My eldest sister hasn't cooked well all day today. She was too distracted. We are all hungry."
Hearing the urging words of his brothers-in-law, Zheng Xiong laughed heartily. At this time, Wei Hong was also very calm, losing the shyness before.
"I need your help with something. Let your neighbors and elders know and come with me."
"Leave it to us, brother-in-law, just take care of it!"
The young man was so energetic that he disappeared in a flash, and shouts could be heard from time to time.
"Auntie, my brother-in-law is back and asked me to invite you to have a drink."
"This kid knows it."
After the Wei brothers walked away, they muttered a few words again, seeming a little unhappy.
"There are no rules. I'm calling you before it's done."
"Mom, are you going to have a drink?"
"You go ahead, you see there's no smoke coming from the Wei family, we don't have to help, and we don't know where to eat yet, so forget it."
"Then I'll go find Dad."
"Go quickly, Mr. Zheng looks like he's not short of money. Don't go too late and you won't get good food."
"Um."
The same scene happened everywhere. After seeing it, the women were very conscious and let their men go without help.
Soon, a lot of people gathered in front of the thatched house of Wei Hong's family. The neighbors were all around, and the elders of Wei Hong's family, including Wei Hong's third grandfather, were also among them.
When Wei Hong saw that everyone had arrived, she tugged on Zheng Xiong's sleeve.
"We're all here, ready to go."
Following Wei Hong's signal, Zheng Xiong cleared his throat and spoke.
"Thank you all the neighbors, uncles and elders for taking care of the Wei family sisters and brothers for so long. I have prepared a banquet, so please move on."
"It's not about taking care of me. I just see a few children who don't stutter. I feed a few steamed buns to fill my stomach. Mr. Zheng is polite."
"Yeah, I just gave some scraps to mend the children's clothes, so don't worry about it."
Yes, seeing that the topic was getting out of control, and there was still room for comparison on this issue, Zheng Xiong spoke quickly.
"I will keep your kindness in mind. A banquet has been prepared in the city. Everyone, come with me."
Interrupting the topic, Zheng Xiong led the way, pretending to support the third grandfather, and the group headed into the city in a mighty manner.
After walking for a while, he realized something was wrong. Wei Hong did not follow. Zheng Xiong quickly returned to the thatched house and walked up to Wei Hong.
"What's going on? What are you still doing here?"
"You grown men are talking about something. Why did you ask me to go? Do you think whose wife is following behind?"
"They are them. They are just here to discuss matters between the two of us. What if you don't go?"
"It's against the rules. Just discuss it with my elders."
Looking back, he saw a group of people waiting there. Zheng Xiong was too lazy to bother, so he took Wei Hong's little hand and dragged Wei Hong back to the team.
Zheng Xiong's behavior made everyone a little uncomfortable and their expressions were solemn.
Wei Hong noticed the gazes of her neighbors and elders, and quickly took out the palm held by Zheng Xiong.
Morality and etiquette are just personal conduct and have lost their due restraint in front of the more open-minded Zheng Xiong.
Anyway, the big deal is that he was scolded a few times. As long as Wei Hong doesn't pursue it, it's just a trivial matter. This official's job is not in vain. The county magistrate has just tied up with him, so he's scared.
Pulling Wei Hong over, Zheng Xiong led the way with a calm expression.
Seeing that Wei Hong had no other words to say, the group remained silent and followed Zheng Xiong to the city.
The deputy who came in a hurry from the other side was not so comfortable. With Zhang Huaiyuan's instructions, he hurriedly came to Yingxian County.
As a result, he couldn't even explain the address clearly, and he circled around the city wall of Ying County several times like a headless fly.
I didn't want to make a big fuss or make any noise, but seeing that it was getting late, I had no choice but to enter the city first and come to the county government office.
When the deputy director came, Hu Hao was busy again and led a group of government officials to greet him.
Seeing that it was a private matter, he dismissed the yamen servants.
"My lord, what are you doing here, and what orders do you have to my subordinates? Please give me your instructions."
"Have you seen Zheng Tiling? I have something to do with him."
"I came here in the afternoon and said I wanted to treat you. Is your official waiting for you?"
Coincidentally, Fu Tidiao, who still didn't know what to do, now made up his mind.
"That's okay, I'll just wait here with you."
There were a few waves of tea, and just when Hu Hao was sitting uneasily, the people Zheng Xiong sent to inform him also arrived.
"My lord, the leader Yi Zhaoxian, who is in the east of the city, has prepared a banquet. Sir, please move on."
"I know, I'm ready, lead the way."
"My lord, please follow me."
Hu Hao and Fu Tidiao followed, and with about a dozen followers, the group headed to the restaurant in a mighty manner.
It was a bit conspicuous. Although Hu Hao was not wearing official uniform, he was still known to many people in this area, and he was quickly recognized.
The identity of Vice Titiao also aroused everyone's curiosity, and the half-body distance caused everyone to speculate and murmur in low voices.
"Do you recognize him?"
"I don't know him, but he looks familiar."
"There are still people in our Yanmen realm that you don't know."
"I really don't know you, you are so annoying."
The passers-by waved and left as if they were angry. Then they walked to their homes, took some silver and hurriedly followed Hu Xu and others.
