Man Bao's gifts were quickly sent out, and Zhou Lixue and Bai Dalang's were not difficult. Basically, it was said that they were sent by the new neighbors. No matter what gift was given, they accepted it first.
After accepting the gift and taking the post, the Sun family and the Zhang family thought about it and asked people to stare at the Du family.
"If the Du family only gives gifts, but no one is there, we will only give gifts until no one is seen. If they come to the Du family, we will also go to the next door."
At the same time, Mrs. Liu was calling the children who had just returned to her front, "Two tables have been added to the front garden where the male guests are and the guest courtyard where the female guests are. The names that I have asked you to recite these two days Have you memorized it all?"
She mainly looked at Man Bao and Zhou Lijun, because Bai Shan and the others memorized the clan chronicles since they were young, and the Du, Zhang, and Sun families on the same street were all on it, especially Bai Shan. Everyone knows, Bai Dalang also knows a lot, only Bai Erlang is ignorant.
So Man Bao and Zhou Lijun are the main ones, and they will be in charge of the back house for a while.
Man Bao and Zhou Lijun nodded together, "I've written everything down, but I don't recognize anyone."
Mrs. Liu then smiled and said: "It's okay if you don't recognize her. Let Shan Baoniang and Nanny Liu go with you in a while. They have seen all the wives. If they bring their children to the door, they will definitely introduce them. If you remember Don't wait, Shan Baoniang and Liu Mama will remind you."
She patted Man Bao and Zhou Lijun's hands comfortingly, and said with a smile: "We can not invite other families for the time being, but if the neighbors are not good, we can't invite them. Fortunately, there are only three families. The rest are friends you invited, not Not difficult."
For this banquet, Mrs. Liu only sent a post to the in-laws of the Bai family branch, and none of the other relatives and friends.
It's just considering that the Bai family shouldn't take the lead, and the Zhou family is not familiar with the banquets of aristocratic families. If they suddenly invite people they are not close to, they will lose face if they show a free and unrestrained attitude.
Mrs. Liu knew all too well that a few rude things in those people's families could be directly recorded in the score and passed down from generation to generation. She didn't want a few children to be frustrated at the very beginning.
So this time, except for the three neighbors, the rest are friends they invited themselves. As for the Bai family, she didn't think they would come.
Mrs. Liu's estimate was good, the in-laws of the Bai family really didn't come to the door, but they also sent someone to send a housewarming gift, just maintaining their affection without pain.
But early in the morning, Yang Heshu arrived with Mrs. Cui. The carriage marked by the Yang family stopped at the gate. With a smile on his face, he followed, "Master Yang, you are here! Come inside, please—"
Yang Heshu saluted with a smile, turned his head and said to Cui Shi, "This is Man Bao's fourth brother."
Cui said angrily: "I've seen it, did you forget, my husband?"
While talking, Mr. Tang and Mrs. Tang also came. Coincidentally, Zhou Zhoulang was familiar with him, so he didn't need Bai Shan to open his mouth, and greeted them directly with a smile.
As a result, before they entered the gate, the carriages of the Yin family also arrived, but this time, three carriages arrived at a time.
Yin or supported Changshou's hand to get out of the car and looked behind.
Sister Yin took the three younger sisters out of the car with a solemn face, and smiled slightly when she looked up at Bai Shan and the others in amazement. When she turned her eyes and saw Yang Heshu, she couldn't help but straighten her back, her face The smile on his face became more genuine, but more reserved.
Behind her, Fourth Sister Yin, Fifth Sister Yin, and Sixth Sister Yin blushed even more, and bowed their heads to salute. They looked like they wanted to look up, but they didn't dare.
Choi: ...
Madam Tang covered the smile on her face with a handkerchief, and waved to Sister Yin, "Sister Hui is here too?"
Sister Yin led the three younger sisters forward, took Mrs. Tang's hand with one hand and said with a smile, "Long time no see, Sister Wang. Hello, Sister Cui."
Cui greeted with a smile, "Hello, Sister Hui."
Bai Shan poked Man Bao's waist, who was stunned, Man Bao immediately came back to his senses, and hurriedly invited the female family members in. As for Master Yang and others, they naturally left it to Zhou Zhoulang and the others.
They were the first to come, and before the rest of the guests came, Zhou Zhoulang and the others simply sat in the lobby talking with Mr. Yang and the others.
Man Bao led Mrs. Tang and the others to the backyard. Mrs. Tang looked around at the potted plants placed in the corridor, and said with a smile, "This arrangement is quite unique, did you arrange it?"
Man Bao nodded again and again, "Does it look good?"
"That's right," Madam Tang praised her without hesitation, followed her to the back slowly, and asked, "Where is your banquet?"
"There are two empty courtyards at the back, and the last one is connected to the garden, so I put it there." He added, "There is an open pavilion at the back, and the spring is just right, everyone can go and sit there."
"Then let's go directly," Master Tang and Man Bao are the most familiar, and also the most relaxed, and said directly: "I just had breakfast and your senior brother dragged me here. I'm not hungry or hungry right now. I'm tired, I don't want to eat or rest, so I just go to sit in the open house and enjoy the scenery. I heard that there is a lake in your house."
"Is that a lake? I thought it was a pond, it's very small." Man Bao smiled and said, "It's like a crescent moon, and the water is beautiful."
Mrs. Tang: ...
Sister Yin couldn't help but burst out laughing, and said: "This water is running water connected to the moat, and it is going to enter the palace after turning around. Not only does your house have it, but there is a big lake behind the Wang's house. His family."
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Mrs. Tang and said, "It's such a coincidence that the water happened to avoid Mr. Tang's house. I remember that Mr. Tang climbed over the wall and jumped to Mr. Tang's house when he was young because he liked the lake of Wang's family."
It happened that Mrs. Tang and her cousins were swimming in the lake, so they were taken as thieves. It was Yang Heshu who entered through the main gate of Wang's house and rushed to the lake to rescue them.
Afterwards, this matter has been circulated. Sister Yin was a few years older than them, and she was not married at the time. When the incident came out, they were very happy for a while.
Of course, she would not say this in front of Mrs. Tang, but everyone present, except Man Bao, remembered it as soon as they heard it. Even Sixth Sister Yin had heard it mentioned by her sisters.
Mrs. Tang blushed slightly, changed the subject and said to Man Bao, "So don't dislike the small lake, it's pretty good if you have it."
Man Bao nodded, still too surprised, "So the garden behind my house is the Wang family's garden?"
Mrs. Tang nodded and said, "That's my natal family."
"I know, Grandma Liu has been asking me to recite these two days. I have recited all the people around here, so your two families are so close, don't you want to go back to your mother's house?"
Mrs. Tang choked, nodded her forehead and said, "Is it possible to go back to my mother's family casually?"
