Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity
Chapter 349 New Year Banquet
"My grandfather has to save face. If we go and talk about Brother Xiaoyuan getting married, there's no reason why it can't be accomplished." Xiao Lan said.
Xiao Lan's idea was very effective. If her family made this matter clear, Sheng Kai, Shen Shi and Xiao Yuan would be more confident to ask the old man to pay the money. The old house could no longer use the method of procrastination.
"When the time comes, if the money from the old house is really not enough for Brother Xiaoyuan to marry, our family can lend it to them. We are lending, not giving. We must make this clear to them at the time and sign a document. No matter how much the money is, it must be repaid in the future. We can't encourage their bad habit of just thinking about getting something for nothing!" Xiao Wen said.
If the old house really wants to borrow money from them, then they have a say in the selection of Xiaoyuan's wife. A capable, sympathetic and decent daughter-in-law is what the old house needs most, and other aspects can be ignored.
Xiaolan and Xiaowen both felt that the generation of Shengnuo and Shengkai in the old house was hopeless, and that was it. But there was still some hope for the generation of Shengyuan and Shenghong, as well as their next generation. They hoped that these people could be self-reliant and live an upright life.
If they could really do that, then her whole family would help them no matter what.
Sheng Xuan thought about the solution proposed by his daughter and son, and nodded in agreement. "It's better to study more. Look at our Xiaowen and Xiaolan. They think more long-term and have a broader vision than me... I am sometimes stubborn and can't change my mind..."
After Xiaoyuan finished talking about his daughter-in-law, Shengxuan finally felt relieved, and the family started talking about tomorrow's dinner party.
On the sixth day of the New Year, the family got up early, had a simple breakfast, and then got busy.
As the sun rose to the top of the sky, the guests arrived one after another. The men stayed in the front yard, while the women were invited to the back yard for entertaining.
Zhang was dressed quite elegantly today. Since her family business became prosperous, she had more social events, and now she entertained female guests in a rather elegant manner. Fu and Liu were helping out, and everyone was talking and laughing, creating a lively atmosphere.
Xiao Lan also dressed up specially today because she was going to entertain the girls who came to visit her home.
There are many guests coming to Xiaolan's house today. There are six tables occupied by the women in the backyard alone. Today's meal at Xiaolan's house is entirely prepared by the head chef of the food shop. Needless to say, the dishes are rich and exquisite.
After the banquet, some guests who lived far away left first, while some who lived nearby continued to drink tea and chat in Xiaolan's house. By the afternoon, most of the guests in the yard had left.
The housekeeper took people to put the tables and chairs back in place, and Xiaolan's family had a lot more free time.
The family was sitting down and drinking tea when Su Ye came to find Sheng Xuan and said that Sheng Hong had been sent from the old house to ask him to go to the old house.
Xiao Lan soon found out what was going on. It turned out that Lanhua and her husband Zhou Shuren had come. Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Cui sent Sheng Hong to find Sheng Xuan.
"Uncle Sheng Hong didn't elaborate, he just asked me to rush over as soon as possible..." This is how Su Ye reported to him.
Lanhua and her husband came to the old house, why did they ask Shengxuan to come over? The last few times she came, the old house didn't come to look for Shengxuan. Is there something wrong this time?
What could possibly happen at this time? Xiao Lan thought about it for a moment and realized that what Lanhua was most concerned about at this moment was the romantic scandal between Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yin. When Sheng Hong came over just now, he also told Su Ye what it was, but he was hesitant in his words and refused to tell him clearly, which further confirmed Xiao Lan's guess.
It is estimated that there is a commotion at the old house again, and the old man must not be able to suppress it, otherwise he would not come to find Sheng Xuan at this time. Xiao Lan was quite unhappy with the actions of the old house. Today was a big day for their family to entertain guests, but the old house was not quiet at all.
After listening to Su Ye's report, Sheng Xuan also frowned slightly. The noisy atmosphere in the old house had become commonplace. To be honest, Sheng Xuan was also very annoyed by it. In fact, as long as the old man and the old lady did not have any health problems, he would not bother to care about other things. Besides, Sheng Xuan also guessed why Lanhua and her husband came.
"I hope the old man and the old lady are not in any health condition," Sheng Xuan thought for a moment, and then said to Su Ye, "Go and tell them that I am still with the guests and cannot leave."
Sheng Xuan finally gave the old man some face and said it in a more tactful and polite way. To put it bluntly, this matter was not his responsibility and he was not willing to get involved.
Su Ye went out and conveyed Sheng Xuan's meaning.
Because the banquet had just ended, Zhang Shanfeng and Xin had not returned to their courtyards, so Xin asked, "What's going on? Why is Sheng Hong here?"
Zhang told Xin that Lanhua and her husband had come, and Shengxuan was asked to go to the old house. "I guess there was some noise. It's Chinese New Year, and they really can't let anyone have a rest. How can there be such a noise before the New Year is over?" Zhang complained in a low voice.
Zhang Shanfeng and his family lived with Xiao Lan, and they were quite familiar with the old house. Almost all rooftops there were like this, and if they went there every time something happened, life would be unbearable.
Xiao Lan's family didn't go to the old house, but Xiao Ye went there to get information. Xiao Ye has been going to the old house quite often recently, and the information she got was so open and aboveboard. In fact, Mr. Sheng and Cui knew what Xiao Ye was thinking, but they could do nothing about it.
Xiao Ye heard the sound of quarreling before she even entered the old house. When she pushed open the door, the sound of quarreling became clearer.
There was no one in the yard, Xiao Ye walked up to the upper room, passing by the kitchen, where Xu was boiling water. Xu was actually a very clear-headed person, and she never participated in the disputes in the old house. Rather than saying that she was boiling water in the kitchen, it would be better to say that she was avoiding the quarrels in the house.
"Sister-in-law," Xiao Ye hurriedly greeted Xu, "Is my father here?"
"I'm here, I'm in the room." Xu said with a smile. Xu had no conflicts with the fourth branch, and Xiaoye's family had been separated and lived separately, so she had even less interactions with the fourth branch. Therefore, whenever she met them, Xu was always very polite.
