Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times
Chapter 198: Tail-burning Banquet
Only Qiu Yong, who had two non-biological brothers to support him, had no idea what to do.
Now that he has grown up, with neither of them around, he has been left to make his own decisions and his life has become like this. One can't help but feel sad.
"Think about it yourself. When you have figured it out, come to the city to find me."
Seeing how he was dithering, Lu Sangui became angry, so he left his address, got up and went back to the city. Qiu Yong called out to him from behind but there was no response.
"I still have a lot to say." Qiu Yong looked at the carriage going away with grievance and couldn't help muttering.
When Lu Sangui returned home, it was already afternoon. The maid had already cleaned up most of the things under Yang's instructions.
Looking at the tidy appearance of his own home and then thinking about the messy appearance of Qiu Yong's home, Lu Sangui felt even more annoyed.
"How come you're back so early? I was thinking that you and your brother haven't seen each other for a long time, so you should come home at least when the moon is high above the willow branches."
It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned it. As soon as Qiu Yong was mentioned, Lu Sangui became even angrier and told Yang what he had seen and heard after returning to the village.
"I was wondering what it was, and it turns out to be these things." Yang smiled and helped him change into his casual clothes.
"Everyone has their own aspirations. Don't force him to listen to you. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can't get along. Even the royal family can't do anything about it."
"Sister Yue Niang is marrying into the Chi family, so it's meaningless to talk about these things anymore." Yang said.
Lu Sangui frowned and said, "That's not what I meant. I just felt angry when I saw how cowardly he looked."
"Why are you so angry about other people's affairs? You shouldn't interfere. If you manage it well, it's their good, but if you don't manage it well, it's all your fault."
Yang was not afraid of him and said eloquently: "You know you are doing this for your brother's good, but do you know what he is thinking?"
Lu Sangui thought about Qiu Yong's performance today and it seemed like he didn't listen to what he said. He sighed for a while and had to let go.
"We're having a dinner party at home tomorrow. I heard you say that they'll all be girls, so I'd better make some good arrangements." Yang said with a smile.
But I also don't like to see him frowning. After all, he is also worried about other people's affairs.
"My father-in-law is old now, so we should try to persuade him not to go out and experience the hardships."
Lu Sangui thought of another matter and discussed it with Yang.
Talking about her own affairs, Yang also looked bitter. Her brothers were still young and relied on Lu Sangui for support in the future, but they insisted on moving to Dongxing County, which made their old father so angry that he scolded her for several days.
She knew that Lu Sangui said this out of consideration for his father, who was old and the journey was dangerous. If he just didn't let him go out, what else could he do?
"I was thinking, Dongxing County is near the river, why not find a sandy land here and try to grow watermelons? If it works, wouldn't it be better to ask my father-in-law to grow watermelons nearby?"
Lu Sangui's words made Yang's eyes light up: "Then you go and look for him. If you can succeed, I will go and invite him personally."
Lu Sangui agreed with a laugh. His father-in-law was also a strange man. He lost his father at a young age and grew up as a beggar.
Not wanting to be looked down upon anymore, he went out to explore the world and risked his life to build a career. Even at an old age, he still traveled along this trade route to the Western Regions every year.
It’s just that the new emperor has ascended the throne, but he is surrounded by vassal kings, few of whom are submissive. There’s no telling when a war might break out again, so it’s better to make plans early.
At the Burning Tail banquet the next day, Du Wenxiu and his group arrived early.
One of them was carrying two jars of fermented beans, another was holding a jar of pickled cucumbers, and another was holding two pieces of bacon and cured chicken in their hands, and they came in noisily.
Yang saw this, but she didn't think that the people were rude. She warmly invited them to sit down.
"No one is an outsider this time, so there is no distinction between male and female seats. Everyone can sit wherever they like."
Du Wenxiu sat down as she was told, reached out to take the child, and winked at Du Wenchan.
"There are some things in the car outside that are difficult to carry. Please ask sister-in-law to ask someone to move them."
Du Wenchan bowed slightly and said to Yang.
Yang agreed readily, arranged for her to sit down first, and then asked someone to move the things outside.
"Everyone here today is one of our family, so please don't be polite and just treat them like your own family."
After a while, the maid beside Yang came over and whispered something. Yang was surprised and quickly apologized and went out to take a look.
When she came back, she looked a little uneasy. Lu Sangui saw it and found an opportunity to ask her what was wrong. Yang then told him what was happening outside.
"Oh, sister-in-law, why are you so polite..." Lu Sangui didn't know what to say to Du Wenxiu for a moment.
I originally wanted us all to get together and have some fun, but I didn't expect Du Wenxiu and the others to be so polite.
"We didn't know what to send, so we brought a few paintings and calligraphy, and we also wanted to bring you some local specialties, so we had to leave them in the car for you to take."
Du Wenxiu said with a smile.
Although it was the first time I congratulated someone on their new home, I understood the reason behind it. It would have been inappropriate if I had really brought pickles to their door.
I just felt that bringing calligraphy and paintings and potted plants to the door, and putting pickles and bacon in the car, was like trying to cover up one's own faults, so I decided to act like I did today.
If Lu Sangui's wife was displeased with his country-like behavior, then she should just have less contact with him in the future.
Unexpectedly, she was sincere in entertaining him and his group, and did not look down on them just because they were carrying pickles and bacon, which really made Du Wenxiu look at them with a higher regard.
"We saw some street performers on the road, so we called them over to add some fun to Brother Lu's house. Our days will be more prosperous in the future."
Du Wenchan was even more lively and playful. She hid behind A Luo and poked her head out to speak to Lu Sangui.
"In that case, I would like to thank my sisters-in-law and sisters. This is the most interesting tail-burning party I have ever hosted."
Yang continued with a smile, she grew up in a business family, so she could speak all kinds of polite words easily, but what she said today was full of sincerity.
Although he wanted to use this housewarming party to get to know Du Wenxiu and the others, he also had some hidden thoughts.
I originally thought that there were mostly women there, and if they only knew how to gossip, I could handle it, but I wouldn't like them, so I would have to have less contact with them in the future.
Now, looking at the women in front of me, they all have cheerful and generous personalities and are very compatible with me, so I feel relieved.
Since they are my husband's relatives, it would be great if I could get along with them.
Yang invited everyone to take their seats and invited a small opera to perform. For a moment, laughter and joy filled the huge courtyard.
When all the dishes were served, Yang began to serve them enthusiastically. Perhaps it was because the smell of the roast chicken was too strong or the smell of the steamed fish was too fishy, she actually felt a little nauseous.
She didn't dare to be rude in front of others. She tried to suppress it again and again, but in the end she couldn't do it anymore. She took the maid's hand and ran out without saying a word.
Du Wenxiu and others looked at Lu Sangui in confusion, only to see his face change and they hurriedly chased after him.
