Chapter 207 Full Moon Banquet (Part 2)

"Isn't this the patriarch of the Shi family? I rarely saw you here in previous years. This year I thank you for taking care of my nephew. I would like to thank you." My aunt said with a smile.

"I am the leader of the Shi family. I should take care of my own tribe members. This is my duty and it is not worth mentioning." The leader of the Shi family said with a smile.

After only one meeting, the two of them had the smell of gunpowder when they spoke.

This aunt mocked the patriarch for not taking care of him for more than ten years, but she came here this year.

The clan leader also stubbornly bites himself as the clan leader of the Shi clan. Taking care of the clan members is a duty, and he vaguely pointed out that the couple are outsiders.

"This is, there is no other *** here, and we can only rely on the patriarch to take care of one or two." My aunt continued.

This is a reminder to the clan leader in front of him. Although Shi Qian’s surname is Shi, there are not many people. Many Shi family members are outside the five-member family. Their own couple are the closest relatives to their youngest son. Although others are clans, they are far away and cannot be compared with their couple.

Both of them had a smile on their faces, but their words hit each other directly.

Shi's mother and Shi's wife stood aside, their faces becoming more and more unsightly.

Although they are a woman, they have read some books since childhood and have seen some things on weekdays. Naturally, they know the key to the two people in front of them.

In front of them, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law attacked each other as if no one else was around, and they really thought that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were dough.

But then the two realized that something was wrong and restrained a little.

No matter how you fight for the right to housekeeper, it is not too obvious to be too explicit in front of the guests outside.

At this time, the housekeeper came over and greeted all of them, asking when the banquet could begin.

At this time, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Shi family realized that it was time to start the banquet.

"Let's start now." Mrs. Shi said as she ordered.

"No." The butler responded.

Seeing the fat butler leaving, my aunt came over and asked Mrs. Shi softly: "Lady, is this the butler in the mansion? I haven't seen him a few times."

Mrs. Shi nodded: "This person is the housekeeper of the mansion. He used to know relatives, so now I'm invited to take charge of my family."

After hearing the answer, my aunt fell silent and didn't know what she was thinking.

Before the banquet started, while there was no one, she found the busy Shi Wife and said quietly: "To be honest, I saw this housekeeper in your mansion outside. I recently repaired my home and bought more than ten acres of land. Why did I suddenly get rich? I'm afraid it's a bit shameful in private?"

"Is this happening?" This is the first time I heard this, Shi's wife was stunned and asked, "Be serious about this?"

"Hey, can I still deceive you? This matter is absolutely true." Afraid that Shi's wife would not believe it, my aunt continued: "It's not just him, but the servants in your mansion have some shameful activities. I want me to tell you, they will only be in front of you and carry you on their backs when they see your orphans and widows."

Shi's wife actually noticed this incident vaguely, but although she had read some books, she was still an ordinary little landlord woman. She had insufficient prestige and could not suppress the people in the mansion.

Moreover, the head and servants of the mansion were introduced by the patriarch, and they were distant relatives of the same clan. Under the current circumstances, neither she nor her mother-in-law could expel them.

Thinking of her husband who died in battle and her youngest son who had just turned 10 years old, Shi's wife felt even more sad.

When my aunt saw this, she said with a little regret: "Hey, I want me to say that if this continues, you and this child will be bullied to death by them. With the old lady in one day, you two have a good life. If even the old lady goes, see how the Shi clan treats you two!"

"Auntie, they should always be thinking about the affection of the same clan..." Shi's wife actually understood, but she couldn't say this from her own mouth. As the Shi family's wife, she still had to speak for the Shi family.

"I really think about the love between the same clan, so I won't bully you orphans and widows like this!" Seeing that Shi's wife had a little shaken meaning, my aunt was secretly happy and said, "Even if you don't think about yourself, you still have to think about your child, right?"

"There is little trouble for the family property between the same clan? Besides, if something happens to you and your mother, it is not better to have an adoption in the clan. You have to be careful!"

What this said really hurts people's minds. Even if Shi's wife is a little wary of her sister-in-law, she couldn't help but think in this direction when she heard this.

In her opinion, what she said made sense. When Shi Wife heard this, she was only three points of worry. At this moment, a big stone was pressing on her heart, which made her almost breathless.

But as the wife of the Shi family, although Shi's wife was worried, she did not let go and agreed to her aunt's request to come over to the housekeeper.

This made my aunt grit her teeth secretly, watch her leave, and spat in a low voice: "It's really a mud that can't be supported. No wonder she has lost her husband, it's bad luck!"

At the same time, in another corner of the Shi House, Mrs. Shi was also talking to the patriarch.

"Old lady, I say something, don't dislike listening. The family business here is exchanged for Qian'er's life, but you must not let outsiders seek it!"

"You know people, but not your heart. You don't know what kind of plots are there in this person's heart. From ancient times to the present, there are not any bloodlines between clans, but also the same surname and ancestor. There is no reason to bully your orphans and widows!"

"If this happens, even if you go to the underworld, you will be speechless to see your ancestors..." The clan leader moved him with reason and knew him with emotion, and also tried to convince the old lady to let the clan take care of Shi Qian's family business.

Seeing that the old lady was unmoved, the clan leader spoke in a heavy tone: "What's more, the Shi family members are all innocent families, and they have never let women go out to manage the family business and show up in public!"

"The old lady is old and has no taboos, but she is not energetic. Qian'er's wife is young and cannot let her ruin the atmosphere of the Shi clan! It's not that the clan has lost a man, so how can it be for a woman to take care of the family affairs? It's also a joke to let outsiders know about it!"

"Class leader, do you mean to force me to death?" When I heard these words at the beginning, Mrs. Shi just pretended not to understand, but in the last words, even the reputation of her daughter-in-law was said, which was absolutely intolerable.

Even the clay man is somewhat earthy. Her eyes, which had been half-closing, suddenly opened suddenly, and said in a cold voice: "Don't forget, my wife and I have an official title! There are also titles in our family!"

"Old lady, where do you start?" The patriarch sneered: "Qian'er is a descendant of my Shi family. Will I still plan his family business?"

"Qian'er only has such a child now. If there is a mistake, it would be heartbreaking. I just think that if a woman is raising her children at home, don't do anything shameful. The Shi family has been passed down for hundreds of years. There are some fame in these villages, so how can gossip spread? "

"If there is a gossip, there are so many people in the Shi family and many families have daughters, how can they get married in the future? Old lady, when you enter the Shi family, you have to think about the Shi family. You should not take the clan seriously just because your family has a title and an official title, and you don't want your ancestors. This is really despised!"

After saying that, he swayed his sleeves and walked out.

At this time, a young wife who was a servant girl could not find the owner of the banquet and found this place. When she saw the old lady standing with a pale face, she immediately exclaimed: "Old lady, what's wrong with you... Are you okay!"

Mrs. Shi shook her body and gritted her teeth to hold on. When she saw the young wife ask, she just stretched her face and waved her hand: "I have nothing to do."

He asked again: "Is something wrong before?"

The young wife shook her head and said, "The banquet ahead is being held."

"That's good!" She sighed deeply. Mrs. Shi felt that she was really a little bit of a fight recently.

It was because outsiders bullied their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Even some of the servants in the family were disobedient. But they were all introduced by the clan and were all relatives, so it was difficult to really scold them.

Originally, the Shi family was young, without servants, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had no real trust. At this time, it was really hard to move forward, and the pain in her heart could be imagined.

However, when he returned to the banquet hall, Mrs. Shi had already returned to her expression.

Her words and deeds represent the face of the Shi family, and she must not let herself be embarrassed.

As for others, no matter how pressure is applied, as long as she is still alive for a day, they cannot be allowed to succeed.

But her health is getting worse day by day. Even if she lives for a few more years, how can she survive until her young grandson becomes an adult? If her young grandson is not a man, she will be in peace in her heart.

Thinking of this, her eyes turned to the uncle and wife of the Zhou family who were smiling and talking to the guests. She looked at the seated patriarch again and sighed secretly.

Although they refused just now, the two sides were afraid that they would not give up, but they were afraid that there would be another quarrel after the banquet.

At this time, several carriages were parked in an open space farther away from Shifu.

The Shi Family Mansion covers an area of ​​ten acres and is located in a remote area of ​​the street on the town. The entire street looks a bit deserted because of the sparse pedestrians.

One of them hurriedly came out of the Shi Mansion, arrived at a carriage, and reported respectfully. Another eighth-rank official came down from a carriage behind and listened together.

When the carriage opened, a female official snorted and stared at the Shi Mansion with a sarcastic look, saying, "I have never seen such a stupid patriarch." Only these rural people thought that the so-called transfer of Jue Field must pass through the government, and Jue Field must be reported. Moreover, the original Jue Field is tax-free and has a reduction policy. If it is a temple field, it becomes a land that needs to be paid taxes. This is equivalent to removing the protective umbrella to the county magistrate or prefect.
