Chapter 2239 2241【Newlyweds】
After being warned by Tongfu Inn, Sai Diaochan didn't make any more petty moves, and on the surface she seemed quite honest.
It's just that no one knows whether she has really changed her past and turned to good, or is she brewing a bigger conspiracy.
At the end of April, after more than 20 days of rush work, Tongfu Inn finally changed its old look to a new one.
The floor was changed from blue bricks to marble; the dining table was changed from elm to mahogany; the walls were repainted, and celebrity calligraphy and paintings were hung; two guest rooms upstairs were demolished, and eight boxes were separated …Even the plaque has been redone, with gold letters on a black background, carved dragons and phoenixes, it looks much more magnificent.
"Our inn is only looking like it now." Lao Bai looked at the inn and couldn't help but sigh.
"Oh, I don't know, I'm shocked. Compared with now, our previous inn is like a pig's nest." Guo Furong also said in admiration.
"What kind of pig's nest, I think it's more like a hut." Mo Xiaobei complained.
"What did you say?" Lu Xiucai said dissatisfied.
"I'm talking about a house built with thatch." Xiaobei quickly explained.
"After all, it cost 1,600 taels of silver to decorate, it is really different." Tong Xiangyu also sighed.
This inn is only 1,000 taels including the house and the title deed, but now it has spent 1,500 taels of silver to decorate, no wonder it looks different.
"Shopkeeper, I want to hold my wedding with Hui Lan in our inn." Xiang Nan took the opportunity to say, "Firstly, to enjoy the glory of our inn, and secondly, to make our inn happy. When the time comes, I will bring my uncle as well. Come, let's have a good time."
"Okay, Dazui is a good idea." Tong Xiangyu immediately agreed after hearing this.
…
Xiang Nan then started preparations, inviting guests, buying gifts, and arranging banquets.
On April 28th, an auspicious day, I officially married Yang Huilan.
Because Xiang Nan has plenty of money now, the wedding was very grand.
He rode a tall horse, carried eight large sedan chairs, and carried sixteen bars of dowry to welcome the bride. The team was mighty and mighty, which can be said to be quite lively, attracting people in the city to stop one after another.
"It's really lively for Daxia Li to greet his relatives."
"Oh, so many betrothal gifts, it's really rich."
"After all, he is the county magistrate's nephew, and his style is extraordinary."
The common people talked one after another.
When the wedding party came all the way to Tongfu Inn, they heard the sound of gongs and drums, the sound of firecrackers, the fluttering of colorful flags, and the congratulations of dragons and lions. It was very lively.
Tongfu Inn has already set up the Xitang.
After Xiang Nan got off his horse, he kicked open the sedan chair door and led Yang Huilan to the wedding hall. Afterwards, Mr. Zhu from the White Horse Academy shouted salutes in person, "One bow to the heaven and earth, two bows to the high hall, husband and wife bow to each other!"
Li Dazui has no father, and Yang Huilan has no relatives, so in the high hall, besides Dazui Niang, everyone invited County Magistrate Lou up.
Since Xiang Nan swept Heifengzhai last time, Magistrate Lou's perception of this nephew has changed drastically, from dislike and dislike to appreciation and favor.
Xiang Nan has also made great efforts to make friends with Lou Zhixian recently, and visits at home every now and then, and he doesn't go empty-handed every time.
Of course, Louzhi County is an upright official, and his official voice has always been very good. What Xiang Nan gave him was not gold and silver jewellery, silk and satin, but some Cantonese snacks, such as bowl cake, Lunjiao cake, horseshoe cake, double skin milk, wife cake and so on.
However, there have never been any Cantonese cooks in Qixia Town, and there are even very few good cooks. Therefore, Lou Zhi County has not tasted the taste of his hometown for more than ten years. Now he is happy to see the Cantonese snacks sent by Xiang Nan.
These snacks are delicious and can comfort his homesickness. The key is not a heavy gift, and he has no psychological burden to eat.
As a result of coming and going, the relationship between the aunt and nephew naturally deepened, and the relationship became closer day by day.
Now that Xiang Nan is married, as an uncle, he is naturally happy to join him.
…
"Miss, I didn't expect Lou Zhixian to be his uncle, no wonder he dares to be arrogant." Xiaocui said bitterly to Sai Diaochan.
Tongfu Inn is just across from Yihonglou. It is so lively there now, how could Sai Diaochan not notice it. Early in the morning, she brought her maid, Xiaocui, and kept looking at the window.
Sai Diaochan nodded.
She originally wanted to crush the Tongfu Inn and monopolize the business in Qixia Town, but she didn't want to be repeatedly frustrated. Seeing that Louzhi County has come to Tongfu Inn to support her now, she is even more angry.
With Louzhi County as the backstage, it is impossible for Tongfu Inn not to get rich. What else do you use to fight with others? !
"Hmph! If you want to use Louzhi County to suppress me, then I will defeat you together." Sai Diaochan said suddenly.
"Miss, you want to defeat Lou Zhi County?! How is that possible." Xiao Cui was quite surprised when she heard this.
Louzhi County is the largest parent official in Qixia Town, the Tu Emperor and Bailihou, these common people are under the control of others. If you want to fight against others now, wouldn't that turn the sky upside down?
"Hmph, look at the guests who came today, some of them came for him, Li Dazui, and they were all for the sake of Louzhi County. And you see, the gifts they gave were as little as dozens of taels of silver, and as many as they were. There are several hundred taels of silver.
They usually have no human relations, so why should they send such an expensive gift? Therefore, Li Dazui's gift is Louzhi County's gift.
He accepted bribes and violated the criminal law. When I report it to the magistrate's office, he must be unable to eat and walk around. "Sai Diaochan said viciously.
Today, Lou Zhi County came forward, and merchants, landlords, and gentry in Qixia Town and even surrounding towns heard the news, and they all came to the wedding banquet one after another, and gave Xiang Nan thousands of taels of cash.
"Miss, good idea." Xiao Cui nodded upon hearing this.
"Stop flattering, hurry up and hire a car." Sai Diaochan said again.
"Yes." Xiao Cui hurried to go.
…
"Mother, drink tea! Uncle, drink tea!" After the salute, Xiang Nan and Yang Huilan offered tea to Dazui Niang and Lou Zhixian.
"Son, keep improving in the future, don't disappoint my mother." The big-mouthed mother smiled and said, "Hui Lan, my mother hopes that you will give birth to a precious son soon, so that you can spread the branches and leaves for our Li family."
"Nephew, nephew-in-law, uncle, I have nothing to give you, so I will give you this letter." Lou Zhixian also said, and then ordered the master to pass the scroll. When I opened it, I saw the four big characters in the letter, [Hundred Years of Love].
"Okay, this word is really tasteful."
"As expected of Lou Zhi County, this word is well written."
"Oh, this calligraphy from Louzhi County can be said to be the most precious gift."
Everyone exclaimed.
"My son must remember the teachings of my mother and uncle, work hard to improve myself, and cultivate myself as a family." Xiang Nan smiled, "By the way, uncle, I feel very honored and very honored to have so many guests attending my wedding with Hui Lan today. Thank you for your love.
But so much gift money, I really have no luck to accept it. Uncle, I am going to donate all of it to the people's livelihood charity in Qixia Town, I hope you can agree. "
