Yan Xiangxiang enthusiastically suggested, "well, I'll take you around the village later. Since we have come to our famous mountain village, I'll take you around the village later.
Although our village is a small village, the rural scenery is still good. In the afternoon, I'll invite some young friends of the same age to have a small party in our small garden. Isn't it very popular to have a party in the city? Our family can do the same.
Many winter chrysanthemums are planted in my small garden. It's the time when they are in full bloom. We can enjoy the chrysanthemums, drink some warm wine, and then sing poetry. I think it's funny. What do you think? "
Zhao Meie echoed, "yes, our small garden is not big, but it is well taken care of by my family. It looks very good. I'll arrange my servant to cook some food for you and get a roast whole sheep."
In today's world where food is precious, a roasted sheep is definitely a high-standard hospitality gift. Zhao Meie also paid a lot of money in order to entertain the young master and young lady of the Xiao family.
If you don't take some expensive things out to entertain, doesn't it look like their family is very poor?
Zhao Lixiang took the lead in holding the show. "Yes, I think it's very good. I'm tired of the set of city parties. I'm tired of appreciating chrysanthemums in winter like this, drinking a cup of wine and eating delicious. It's the feeling of picking chrysanthemums under the East fence and leisurely seeing Nanshan expressed in the poem."
"That's it."
Xiao Baozhu agrees with this statement. She has a headache when she looks at those Western musical instruments and social dance. Can't she just sit and chat?
The younger sisters of their own family have expressed their position. Naturally, Xiao Wanjin and Zhao Yuanlin, who are brothers, won't have any opinions.
So Yan Xixi and Yan Xiangxiang took a group of five people to the village.
In winter, there is basically no farm work to do in the crop fields. The villagers are very free. If they have nothing to do, they will gather on the empty courtyard dam in the center of the village to talk about the recent new things.
Therefore, when Yan Xixi and his party passed by, they immediately attracted the attention of the villagers.
Looking at their clothes, they are different from their countrymen. At first glance, they are city people. Today's world, identity and class are still clearly divided. It's not uncommon to see countrymen everywhere in counties and towns.
But it's strange for city people to visit small places in the countryside.
So the villagers' eyes were full of curious and gossip eyes. They couldn't help chatting with the two sisters Yan Xixi and talking indirectly.
Yan Xiangxiang replied with a very good temper, "we will have a chrysanthemum appreciation party at home this afternoon. We welcome sisters and brothers of the same age to play."
"Really? Can my children come too?"
The crowd shouted in an instant and asked one after another.
If their children can get on well with the young masters and young ladies in the city, they will have more benefits. What if they are liked by the young masters and young ladies in the city?
For a moment, everyone's mind became active and their own calculations were made.
Yan Xiangxiang was embarrassed and tactful: "when we admire chrysanthemums, we will recite the right poems, so if we are too young..."
Of course, she hoped that there would be more peers in the village. Most people of this age had shallow face and would be more or less reserved and would not make any rude moves.
Presumably, with men and women of the same age, the Xiao brothers and sisters will also feel more lively and interesting. After all, who doesn't want to be careful in front of the opposite sex at this age?
But if those children and mothers all follow, isn't the chrysanthemum appreciation meeting arranged by her become their vegetable market? The food prepared by her mother will definitely be robbed.
So unnecessary people are not in her consideration at all.
However, she always pays great attention to her image outside. Naturally, she won't say anything annoying or offensive.
Yan Xixi didn't have so many scruples when he spoke. He was very straightforward, "don't come to illiterate people, so as not to make jokes."
As soon as this was said, many people in the crowd became dumb. How many literate children can there be in the village? You can count it with both hands.
Xiao Baozhu went straight ahead regardless of the feelings of these countrymen.
Others saw this and followed.
Yan Xiangxiang fell at the end of the line and smiled and greeted the villagers.
"Grandparents, uncles and aunts, let's go first. Don't forget to inform when you go home. You can come to my house after lunch."
Then she waved her hand and hurried to catch up with the people in front.
Of course, the reason why she took them to the village for a stroll was for her purpose. Of course, her plan should be witnessed by outsiders, otherwise they would deal with it behind closed doors, which would be easy to suffer losses.
Some things are to make the bigger the better. The only chance is today. She must succeed, or it will be difficult to ask them to come to the village in the future.
Nowadays, in addition to choosing the territory of each family, there are no formal places for entertainment in the town.
So, of course, she has to choose her own territory to start, so that she can control the overall situation. Although her own family will inevitably be a little suspicious, what can she do if she is so suspicious?
However, if it is replaced by Xiao and Zhao families, it is inevitable that they will be tied up, and it is easy to change.
Therefore, she must first let the whole village know that the people of the Xiao and Zhao families have come to their house as guests. It's best to make it known to everyone.
Yan Xiangxiang thought about her plan carefully in her mind as she walked.
Suddenly, seeing the cousin walking slowly in front of him, he seemed to be waiting for himself. Yan Xiangxiang stepped forward quickly.
"Cousin."
Zhao Lixiang saw her cousin and asked in a low voice, "do you think it can be done today?"
Yan Xiangxiang smiled and nodded, "people are coming. It must be OK. If not, you will marry your cousin."
Hearing the speech, Zhao Lixiang's face suddenly changed, "I don't want it! Let's start in advance."
Yan Xiangxiang: "well, don't worry, cousin, I'll help you."
Zhao Lixiang moved to hold Yan Xiangxiang's hand, "Xiangxiang, really thank you. Fortunately, you support me, otherwise I will be destroyed for the rest of my life."
She knew that the Xiao and Zhao families were going to get married, but none of them asked if they would like to?
It seems that their feelings are not important at all. The most important thing is the interests in their eyes.
Xiao Wanjin, who doesn't know about Anju town? Her reputation is terrible. Her parents even want to marry him. It doesn't ruin her happiness and let her fall into the fire.
The husband she wants to marry is definitely not Xiao Wanjin.
Yan Xiangxiang looked sincere, "you are my cousin. Of course I hope you can live happily, and I really hope you can be my sister-in-law, so we can kiss each other."
Referring to Yan Ze, Zhao Lixiang was shy and hesitated, "do you think your eldest brother will accept it?"
Hearing the speech, Yan Xiangxiang's eyes flashed slightly and scolded in his heart: it's all coming to his head. Do you want to take a posture again? I don't see if I have a choice. I'm really confused.
"Cousin, think about it yourself. However, I heard that my uncle and the Xiao family have talked about the stage of selecting auspicious days. If..."
Zhao Lixiang immediately tightened her face. "Well, I'll go out. It's worse than marrying Xiao Wanjin."
Originally, Zhao Lixiang didn't think about Yan Ze. After all, the relationship between her aunt and Yan Ze's mother was a little awkward. In addition, there was almost no contact between their family and Yan Ze.
She visited Yan's house only a few times and didn't get in close contact with him. She only looked at him from a distance.
Some time ago, she heard Xiangxiang mention it several times before she began to understand him. But according to Xiangxiang's meaning, their family didn't like Yan Ze's fiancee very much and couldn't get along with her.
Just because Xiangxiang inadvertently sighed: if only you could be my sister-in-law, then our sister-in-law could play together.
At that time, she was sad about her marriage. Hearing this sentence, she couldn't help recalling the man's face in her memory.
On this thought, she felt that Yan Ze didn't know how many times better than Xiao Wanjin.
After getting along with him several times, she asked Xiangxiang about him. Only then did she find out that he had also attended Foreign Studies and had excellent studies. He was also a cultural man with a high degree.
I heard that he was very clean. In recent years, he had never had close women around him, nor the bad habits of those dandies. He focused on business.
Although today's Yan family is not as rich as the Xiao family, at least they will not live a hard life with him. He is still so young and has plenty of time to work hard.
Besides, Mingshan village also has a large house, and the living income is guaranteed by the groceries and the harvest in the field.
Secondly, there is another biggest advantage, there is no problem of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and aunt-in-law.
If she marries into the Yan family, she can be the master of the family immediately. The two elders in name are also her aunt and uncle. With this relationship, she will be absolutely comfortable in the Yan Family in the future.
These are not comparable to the Xiao family. Even looking at the whole Anju Town, I'm afraid it's difficult to find such a mother-in-law.
Therefore, for her, Yan Ze can be called a good match, which is her best choice and destination.
So, she tactfully put forward her ideas to Xiangxiang two days ago. Unexpectedly, she got her strong support and even helped to make ideas.
If she wants to marry Yan Ze, she can only use some means, otherwise there is no time for them to cultivate their feelings.
She can't wait here. Yan Ze also has a fiancee there, and she can't delay any more.
So she pondered with Xiangxiang all afternoon and worked out a plan.
The Xiao and Zhao families must marry. If she doesn't want to marry, she can only find someone to marry into the Xiao family for her.
She also knew that her aunt wanted Xi Xi to marry into the Xiao family, but her father didn't agree. Therefore, taking into account the families on both sides, she had to choose a compromise.
That is to let Yan Pingping marry Xiao Wanjin!
