Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

"It's been a long time since our village has been so lively. The last time it was so lively was when Marquis Zhaoping was conferred the title of Marquis. After that meal, Marquis Zhaoping left Liangzhou for the capital."

A villager from Pingnan Village sat at the table, looking around at the lively and festive scene, and couldn't help but sigh.

The person next to him stuffed a piece of braised pork into his mouth and agreed while chewing: "Who said it wasn't? Our village has also held weddings during this period, but the excitement was far inferior to the excitement of the Cheng family's wedding."

"You just keep saying that, it's useless." The villager at the same table rolled his eyes: "Can other families' weddings in our village compare to the Cheng family's? Not to mention the food and drinks, just look at the guests. Look at how many rich people came to our village today? Apart from the Cheng family, which family in our village has a wedding that is worthy of those people's care?"

"Why would we care? If we weren't from the same village as the Cheng family, they wouldn't even bother to look at us! But..." The person who was speaking looked around, lowered his head slightly, and lowered his voice: "Why do I feel that the number of rich and powerful people who came today is not as many as the one who came when Zhaoping Marquis was conferred the title of Marquis? It seems that many officials didn't come."

The oldest man at the table swallowed the wine in his mouth and glanced at the villager who had just spoken: "Why is the Cheng family holding a wedding today?"

"Because Cheng Erping is getting married, what's the problem?" The man was a little confused.

"Hey!" The person next to him patted the man on the shoulder and reminded him quietly: "No matter how close Cheng Erping is to Marquis Zhaoping, there is still a gap between our parents. After all, he is just a cousin of our grandparents. How can it be worth it for those high-ranking officials to show up in person? It's normal for them not to come. Just wait and see. If Marquis Zhaoping holds a wedding banquet for the successful candidates this time, those people will definitely run away faster than anyone else! Or if it's Marquis Zhaoping's eldest brother getting married today, there will definitely be more officials coming than today!"

"I see. Then..."

"Okay, okay, let's stop talking about that and eat!" The oldest man interrupted the topic.

This kind of thing is something that everyone should know about in their hearts, and it is not appropriate to talk about it openly.

Besides, only some officials were missing. This wedding was already the most glorious and respectable one that these peasants could participate in.

……

This grand and respectable wedding not only filled the villagers with emotion, but also provided them with enough topics to talk about for a long time to come.

However, some people's focus is not on today's newlyweds.

For example, Village Chief Jia.

Village Chief Jia hasn't seen Cheng Wan for a long time.

It's not that I can't see him, nor that I don't want to see him, but I'm afraid of delaying Cheng Wan's preparations for the imperial examination.

Now, taking advantage of Cheng Erping's wedding, Cheng Wan returned to Pingnan Village, and Village Chief Jia finally saw Cheng Wan with his own eyes.

Village chief Jia is happy.

He didn't expect that after Cheng Wan became an official and was granted the title of nobility as a woman, she could actually participate in the imperial examination openly as a woman, and most importantly, she even made it all the way to the provincial examination!

You know, even in the old Jiajia Village, there were only a few scholars.

Village chief Jia had a hunch that the first scholar in their Jiajia Village would most likely be Cheng Wan.

Yes, even though Village Chief Jia has now settled in Pingnan Village, and even though he knows very well that Jia Village in Qingyuan County no longer exists, he still "stubbornly" believes that in addition to being from Pingnan Village, they are also from Jia Village!

Those are their roots!

This is where their ancestors rest in peace!

"Dad, what are you looking at?" Jia Xiucheng looked in the direction that Village Chief Jia was staring at, but there was nothing.

Cheng Wan has already walked over.

Village Chief Jia handed his bowl to Jia Xiucheng: "Give me a bowl of chicken soup and tear a chicken drumstick for me."

He must take good care of himself and live well!

He would keep his eyes open and see how far Cheng Wan from their Jiajia Village could go!

Village Chief Jia took a sip of the chicken soup from the bowl, and suddenly seemed to remember something and told Jia Xiucheng: "The incense at home is almost burned out. Remember to buy some more incense tomorrow and ask someone to bring it back. Buy good ones!"

Jia Xiucheng is now the owner of Suiyilou in Shuoyang City.

"I got it."

Jia Xiucheng knew that Village Chief Jia would burn incense and worship the Buddha statue in his home every day, praying to the Buddha to bless Cheng Wan with safety and success.

Jia Xiucheng strongly supports this.

Not to mention Cheng Wan's kindness to their family, even from a selfish perspective, only when Cheng Wan is well, will they be better off.

"By the way, Dad, about Jiaju and Jinxiang's matter, why don't you tell Marquis Zhaoping today when he comes back?"

Jia Jiaju was the grandson of the village chief Jia. He was conscripted by Prince An as a soldier. Although he saved his life, he lost his right eye. Later, he was sent back by Gu Yan's men along with Lin Gou Wa's mother and younger sister.

As for Jin Xiang, although this girl had the little finger of her left hand chopped off by human traffickers, she was smart and studious, and knew how to find a way to survive and a way out for herself. In addition, she had good food and a good living environment in the past two years, and her family was not living a bad life either. She became more and more beautiful and generous.

After a pause, Village Chief Jia said, "We have to tell Marquis Zhaoping. After all, Jinxiang is under Marquis Zhaoping's protection. If Ka Kui wants to marry Jinxiang, he must first pass the test of Marquis Zhaoping."

Village Chief Jia pursed his lips and continued, "No matter how much Jin Xiang likes Ka Kui, as long as Marquis Zhao Ping says Ka Kui is not good enough, Jin Xiang will definitely cut off her relationship with Ka Kui without saying a word."

Jia Xiucheng nodded silently.

Although I don't want to admit it, it's the truth.

In the hearts of Jinxiang and other girls, no one can compare to the status of Marquis Zhaoping.

To say something treasonous.

In their hearts, Marquis Zhaoping's words were probably more effective than the imperial edict...

Cheng Wan was having dinner with the guests, and she had no idea that there might be another happy event happening around her.

"rice!"

Cheng Jinzhao sat obediently in Cheng Wan's arms, clapping his hands happily.

The little girl can already speak a few simple words.

"An An, come here, I'll take you to eat something delicious, okay?"

Xiao Lin bent down and stretched out her hand towards Cheng Jinzhao. If you didn't see the threat in her eyes, her smile would have been very kind.

Cheng Jinzhao turned his head and buried his little head in Cheng Wan's arms: "No! No!"

The little girl was raised to be plump and white, and her little body twisted and turned like a "caterpillar", which made Cheng Wan burst out laughing.

Everyone at the table laughed good-naturedly.

Xiao Lin smiled awkwardly and gritted her teeth: "Cheng Jinzhao..."

"Second Aunt, just let her stay here, it's okay." Cheng Wan pinched Cheng Jinzhao's little hand, his voice filled with laughter.

Xiao Lin carefully glanced at the people eating at the table and said embarrassedly: "Then, I'll get busy now."

Xiao Lin did not take Cheng Jinchao away forcefully.

She was afraid that the little ancestor would burst into tears on the spot.
