Dress up as a farmer's wife from the Wang family and fight for the best with space

When Gu Yunxi and Lu Jianchuan returned home, He Dachun's wife had just prepared the meal.

The family had a simple dinner. Gu Yunxi and Lu Jianchuan asked Old Man Lu about the banquet tomorrow and then went back to the house.

I had a good dream last night. When I woke up, it was very lively outside the Lu family’s house. Almost all the villagers came, and many women were helping with the work.

Arranging tables and chairs, decorating the table, helping to wash and pick vegetables, serving tea and water... everyone was busy and having fun.

This is a banquet for the top scholar. It is such a happy event, and everyone is eager to perform in front of the Lu family so that the Lu family can see it and have a better impression of them.

Seeing Gu Yunxi and Lu Jianchuan coming out, everyone greeted them enthusiastically and shouted, "The third place winner is out! He's out!"

The adults all looked over, and the children also joined in the fun, wanting to see if the third place winner looked like them.

Lu Jianchuan smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, uncles and aunts. Please have some tea, fruits and snacks..."

"It's not hard, it's not hard. We are happy to be able to help!"

"Yes, yes, the third place winner and his wife are a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman..."

Listening to the discussions in the crowd, Gu Yunxi smiled and, like Lu Jianchuan, entertained everyone with a smile.

Almost all of them were villagers. Although Xijiang Village was very large, Gu Yunxi had lived in the village for such a long time and had met many people, so it was not difficult to entertain them at this time.

When encountering people who forgot to address her, Gu Yunxi would just smile and call them aunt or sister affectionately, so as to avoid embarrassment.

Later, the dean came, the shopkeeper Wu came, Qiaozhen and his wife, and Fangzheng's father also came...

Lu Jianchuan and Gu Yunxi, as well as Old Man Lu and the village chief, hurried forward to entertain the guests and led them into the main room to sit down.

The village chief and Old Man Lu even accompanied them personally, fearing that they would neglect the distinguished guests.

Lu Jianchuan smiled and sat aside, wondering if he could say a few words.

Gu Yunxi sat for a while and then went out to entertain the villagers and take a look at the preparations for the banquet.

On this day, the entire Xijiang Village was bustling with activity. Women, children, the elderly, young and middle-aged men, all had smiles on their faces.

When the auspicious time came, the village chief and several clan elders opened the door of the Lu family ancestral hall.

After placing offerings and lighting incense and candles, the village chief, clan elders, Old Man Lu, and Lu Jianchuan all knelt down and kowtowed to the ancestral tablets.

The village chief shouted loudly: "Lu Jianchuan, the 53rd generation grandson of the Lu family, the eldest son of Lu Lide, has passed the imperial examination and won the third place in the imperial examination. We are opening the ancestral temple to offer sacrifices to our ancestors!"

"Ancestors bless you!"

"Ancestors bless you!"

"Ancestors bless you!"

The Lu clan members knelt down one after another, kowtowed to the tablets of Lu’s ancestors, and shouted, “Ancestors may bless you.”

Most of the people in the village are surnamed Lu, and there are also a few people with other surnames, who are not members of the Lu clan, who also stand and watch. Seeing the Lu clan members like this, they feel extremely envious.

If one day one of their clansmen could become a top scholar, it would be such an honor!

Telling it to others is very impressive! You can show it off for years!

By the time they finished paying homage to their ancestors, the banquet dishes were almost all ready, and everyone took their seats one after another and started to eat.

Lu Jianchuan and Gu Yunxi personally accompanied the dean, shopkeeper Wu, and Qiaozhen's family.

"Come on, let's have some wine and meat, don't be polite today!" Lu Jianchuan raised the bowl full of wine and toasted everyone heroically.

Everyone followed suit and filled their glasses with wine, picked up their bowls, and drank one bowl after another...

Gu Yunxi looked at them with a smile and said nothing. It was a happy day and they should do whatever they wanted to be happy.

While Xijiang Village is bustling with activity, in Jihu Town, the Chen family’s old residence is a completely different scene.

Fang Gang and Chen's second wife, Liu, were tied up and thrown into the Chen family's yard, with many people watching.

Among the onlookers were the Fang clan leader and elders, the Chen clan leader and elders, Mrs. Chen, Chen Baozhu, and representatives sent by the Liu clan.

The head of the Liu family thought that this was too embarrassing and refused to come at all. He only asked the Liu family representative to convey the message that they had no objection to letting the Chen family deal with the Liu family.

"Did you hear that? Liu, your Liu family's patriarch thinks this matter is shameful and has no face to come to our Chen family!" Mrs. Chen said coldly.

Upon hearing this, the Fang clan leader's face flashed with regret. If he had known earlier, he would not have come. What kind of thing did Fang Gang, that idle guy, do? !

If it weren't for the affection for Fang Gang's father, the head of the Fang family had not originally planned to come. After arriving at the Chen family, his old face was burning with pain and he didn't dare to straighten his back to look at the people of the Chen family.

Madam Chen swept the Fang clan members with a cold gaze and said calmly, "Patriarch Fang, I'm sure you already know why I asked you to come here today."

"I don't want to beat around the bush. My Prime Minister is very busy with official duties and couldn't leave, so he asked me to come back with my second brother. You need to give my second brother an explanation and a solution for this matter."

Upon hearing this, the Fang clan leader's eyes became a little dim. Before coming here, Fang Gang's old mother had been pulling him and begging him to take Fang Gang back.

But now, facing Mrs. Chen's questioning, Patriarch Fang always felt a sense of oppression, which made him unable to utter the words of plea that came to his lips.

Patriarch Fang took a deep breath, licked his smiling face and said: "Madam Chen, this, what Fang Gang did is really too much. I am angry just hearing it!"

"But, your Chen family said that you want to sink Fang Gang into a pond. Isn't this too serious? Fang Gang's father passed away many years ago, and he still has a blind old mother at home..."

Before he could finish, Mrs. Chen interrupted him coldly, "Stop, he has a blind old mother at home, and this has nothing to do with my second brother's matter, don't confuse people."

"If Fang Gang had any conscience, he would not have been in a relationship with someone else's wife. He also asked her to bear him a child, and then asked my second brother to raise the child for nearly twenty years!"

"Let me ask you, if you were Patriarch Fang and encountered something like this, what would you do?"

Upon hearing this, Patriarch Fang almost couldn't breathe. If he were to encounter such a thing, he would definitely drown the bitch in a pond to vent his hatred. And the bastard's offspring could not be kept alive either, as it was an eyesore to look at.

The more Patriarch Fang thought about it, the more he felt that he shouldn't have asked to plead for Fang Gang. In fact, he shouldn't have come at all.

"Forget it, Fang Gang, you really deserved it for this matter. I don't care how the Chen family wants to deal with you!"

After saying this, Patriarch Fang shut his mouth and stopped begging for mercy.

Several patriarchs of the Fang family also shook their heads, feeling extremely disappointed and ashamed, and they wished they could cut off all ties with Fang Gang.

Fang Gang knelt on the ground, looking at the tribe members who had abandoned him in horror, and begged: "No, tribe leader, please save me. I was also bewitched for a while, and it was Liu who seduced me..."
