Lin Wenyao couldn't wait to show off that his son had become a seventh-rank official.

After a long while, his daughter didn't say anything.

Couldn't help but ask again.

"Xia Xia, is it possible for your second brother to become a seventh-rank official?"

Seeing her father's desire to show off, Lin Lixia didn't bother thinking about the letter.

He looked at the happy Lin Lidong with a smile.

"Brother, my father will organize a flowing feast for my second brother. Will you feel envious and uncomfortable?"

"How could that happen?" Lin Lidong looked surprised.

"The military exploits of Lichun were achieved at the risk of one's life. Civil servants and military officers have different risks."

Hearing that Lin Lidong had such a high level of consciousness, Lin Lixia was pleasantly surprised and felt grateful that this study tour was not in vain.

When her eldest brother went out for a trip, his ideological consciousness was much higher than before.

In this era, the vast majority of villagers lived frugally and lived frugally, without enough food or clothing.

There is no intention to make money by running a running business, nor is there any intention to recoup costs.

For wealthy people, it is a lively and festive occasion.

For poor people, it is an opportunity to improve their food supply.

"Dad, did you hear what the eldest brother said? The second brother risked his life for military exploits. Not only does the Liushui Banquet have to be held, but it also has to be done very well! Let everyone in the family who comes to eat the banquet enjoy the meal."

"Okay, dad will go and take care of it right now." Lin Wenyao had just finished speaking. When he saw Ji Shen walking out of the small courtyard opposite, he came forward with surprise on his face.

"General Lu, I am going to hold a promotion banquet in the village tomorrow to celebrate the beginning of spring for my family to become the head of a hundred households from the seventh rank. I wonder if you are free?"

"I'm free!" Ji Shen was also full of surprise: "Then I'll prepare some gifts!"

"No, no, no." Lin Wenyao was so happy that he forgot their identities and took Ji Shen's arm.

A grateful look on his face.

"If it weren't for General Lu's care, my family would definitely not be alive in Lichun. You should take the seat!"

"General Lu, can you contact General Yun? He is also a nobleman of Lichun in my family. If he hadn't taught Lichun martial arts..."

"Dad! Stop talking!" Lin Lixia couldn't listen anymore.

Her second brother, a 100-household chief from the seventh rank, just showed off in the village.

Why did her father have the nerve to invite two generals to the village for a banquet?

"Dad, General Lu and General Yun are going to return to the court with Prince Rui's army. If they have time, they can go to our village to eat water..."

"When you are free, when you are free!" Ji Shen quickly interrupted Lin Lixia, for fear of missing this opportunity.

"Uncle Lin, the team returning to the court is moving very slowly. After we have eaten, we will ride on a fast horse to catch up without delaying the matter!"

"Don't regret it!" Lin Lixia gritted her teeth and glanced coolly at Lu Jishen.

"On the day of the banquet, all the seven aunts and eight aunts from our village and our family will come."

Ji Shen's eyes were full of confusion and he didn't understand why Lin Lixia didn't want him to go to the banquet.

"what is the relationship?"

Lin Lixia thought about the scene where seven aunts and eight aunts surrounded Lu Jishen, trying to tell him how to get married and introduce someone to him.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Haha, you will know tomorrow!"

After saying that, she turned around and went into the house, putting the banknote she just got into the goldfinger money box.

Outside the house, Ji Shen instinctively felt that something was not going to be good tomorrow when he heard Lin Lixia's weird smile.

"Uncle Lin, what did Lin Lixia mean by what he just said?"

Lin Wenyao reacted at this moment: "Don't be afraid, General Lu. What Xia Xia just meant was that when people in the village see a young and promising person like General Lu, they would like to act as a matchmaker for you."

"Being a matchmaker?" Ji Shen thought of the eagerness of the two aunts of the Lin family when they first met him, and suddenly felt that having dinner tomorrow would be a challenge.

"Uncle Lin, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. I'll go back first."

Lin Wenyao asked eagerly: "General Lu, will you come to dinner tomorrow?"

"Come, I'll definitely come!" Ji Shen replied readily. When he returned to his small courtyard, he convened people for an urgent meeting.

The topic of the discussion is that he will go to Linjia Village to eat on the flowing water table tomorrow. How to avoid the seven aunts and eight aunts who will help him with matchmaking?

On a cold winter morning, Lin Wenyao's yard was crowded with enthusiastic villagers who came to help.

Xu Taohua was wearing a new red dress, a gold hairpin on her head, gold earrings on her ears, a gold necklace around her neck, and a gold bracelet on her wrist.

Like a busy old butterfly, it shuttles in and out of the crowd, making many villagers envious.

"Did you see that Fifth Aunt is wearing gold jewelry, all of which are solid?"

"That's right. Her Lixia is so good at making money, how can she still buy hollows?"

"The fifth aunt has saved money between her teeth for many years, and she has managed to get through well. Both her second son and her eldest grandson have passed the scholar examination, and her second grandson has become the head of a hundred households in the seventh rank."

"Did you miss your granddaughter? I heard that the Lin family's huge fortune was all earned by Li Xia."

"Yes, the son and grandson of the fifth aunt's family are very promising, and the granddaughter is also very promising. One is so good at making money, and the other is capable of marrying to the capital..."

"Let me tell you, Lin Xiaoxue who married to the capital doesn't count. She married to the capital alone to enjoy a happy life. The fifth aunt and the fifth uncle didn't get half of her money. I heard that she almost caused her family to be wiped out."

"Listening to what you said, I also think that Lixia is better than Xiaoxue. Before Lixia got married, she bought such a large property for her mother's family..."

"You are so strong!" When Chen Juhua heard this, her face turned red with anger.

"No matter how powerful Lin Lixia is, she will get married sooner or later. With her fierce look, who will dare to marry her in the future?"

Everyone who was joining in the fun, seeing Chen Juhua's anxious look, immediately found a reason to disperse.

"If you can't offend her, why can't I hide?" Aunt Zhou rolled her eyes and turned away from Chen Juhua.

Aunt Liu, who always likes to quarrel with Aunt Zhou, agrees with this: "Yes, a person who becomes angry will go crazy to delay the meal."

The originally lively crowd soon dispersed, leaving only Chen Juhua.

Chen Juhua glared at Xu Taohua with hatred in her eyes. The two old men had been hiding each other for their entire lives, and they had to separate their families before they could reveal their true abilities.

Did they already know this?

No, if I had known earlier, how could I have tolerated her for so many years?

Sensing Chen Juhua's resentful eyes, Xu Taohua, who was enjoying the villagers' compliments, put away the smile on her face and walked over.

"Second daughter-in-law, today is the beginning of spring for my family and I have become the head of a hundred households from the seventh rank. If you dare to make trouble, don't blame me for not giving your mother's family face today."

Chen Juhua gritted her teeth and glared at Xu Taohua, her teeth itching with anger.

Dead old thing.

When I talked to her last year, I didn't dare to be so tough.

After getting rich in the second half of this year, he became even more arrogant and ignorant of the heights of the world.

Why not die?

Seeing Chen Juhua's resentful look, Xu Taohua frowned, held her waist with one hand, and pointed at Chen Juhua with the other.

"Second daughter-in-law, the second child in my family has passed the exam to become a scholar. Who in the village doesn't envy you as a scholar? What else are you dissatisfied with?"

Looking at the bright gold bracelet on Xu Taohua's wrist, Chen Juhua went crazy with jealousy.

She has been plotting all her life, eating chaffy vegetables for many years, and doesn't even have a hollow gold bracelet. Why does this dead old woman have solid gold jewelry?

If something happened to my dead wife, this flowing water banquet wouldn't be possible, right?

"Mom, look at me, a talented lady, who doesn't even have any decent gold jewelry. Why don't you lend me your gold bracelet?"

Saying that, Chen Juhua stretched out her hand to Xu Taohua...
