Chapter 355 A successful ending
Zhou Mingshu felt a little uncomfortable being pressed down, but she really couldn't move the man, and she was so anxious that she was sweating all over.
If someone saw them like this, it would cause a huge misunderstanding!
What's more, today is her eldest sister's wedding, and there are already a lot of people coming and going. She doesn't want to have a bad reputation.
She is still so young and doesn’t want to be put into a pig cage!
Although there was a handsome guy lying next to her, she was in no mood to appreciate him. She just hoped that Lord Rufeng would come over quickly.
There were quite a lot of children walking around the garden, and Zhou Mingshu didn't dare to make any noise.
Fortunately, the gardenia bushes were quite dense, and the two of them lying on the grass were not very noticeable, so they escaped one disaster after another.
When Rufeng looked around the flower garden for no one and couldn't find them, he discovered that the two people were sleeping in the garden of gardenia!
He hesitated for a moment.
Should I wake them up or let them sleep a little longer? !
He turned around and looked around. Even if there were a few people around, they were very far away.
Besides, it was getting late, and most of the people who had come for the banquet had left. Only some children and grown men were drinking.
Rufeng scratched his head and patted Zhou Mingshu to wake him up first.
"Miss Zhou, Miss Zhou~"
Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he touched her shoulder again.
Only then did Zhou Mingshu open his eyes.
"Lord Rufeng, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for so long that I have fallen asleep."
The two of them worked together to turn Qi Rui over, and Zhou Mingshu then sat up.
She thought the sunlight was too glaring, so she squinted her eyes for a while, and unexpectedly she fell asleep.
I got up early this morning and was busy for most of the day. I am really exhausted.
Lord Qi was sweating from where he pressed.
Zhou Mingshu got up, pulled at his wrinkled clothes, and took a breath of fresh air.
"Master, master."
Rufeng called Qi Rui twice, but he was already asleep and didn't respond.
"Master Rufeng, what should we do? Should we carry you into the courtyard?"
"No, no, no."
There are still many people in Lao Zhou's yard. If he carries his master into the yard, his heroic image will be completely ruined.
"What should I do?"
Zhou Mingshu couldn't think of a better solution. He couldn't just let the adults lie on the grass forever!
Rufeng lowered his head and thought for a while, then made a decision.
"Miss Zhou, please help me keep an eye on the master for a while while I borrow a carriage."
Although he and the adults came here on horseback, Lord Xue and the others came from the county town in a carriage.
Just let them know.
Zhou Mingshu couldn't help laughing when he saw Qi Rui lying on the ground in a big letter shape. It turned out that there was a flower petal and some dirt on his cheek which was facing downwards just now. It looked so gray and funny.
Looking at the gardenias around him, Zhou Mingshu picked up a whole one and put it in his bun.
He had just pressed her down, causing her back and waist to ache, and now she wanted to make him look bad.
Rufeng came and went quickly, and soon a horse-drawn carriage came and stopped at the intersection of the flower garden.
Also coming with them was Lord Xue Ren.
The two greeted each other and pulled Qi Rui up from the ground.
A dignified General of the Central Army actually got drunk at a small wedding banquet and slept in someone else's flower garden. It would be so embarrassing if it got out to others. It is totally not something he would do at his status.
The two men hurriedly stuffed Qi Rui into the carriage and drove back.
Zhou Mingshu was so tired that he was panting. He brushed the mud off his body and went home.
There are very few family members left, and the more distant relatives have already passed away.
Old Mrs. Zhou and some other close neighbors were cleaning up the leftovers from the meal, and they poured the leftover food into the vegetable bucket.
It would be a waste to throw away such delicious food. If anyone likes it, they can take some home. Many people like to eat the leftovers from the table.
Those that could not be kept were poured into the slop bucket and taken to the backyard to feed the livestock.
My aunt and uncle left very late and helped to clean up the plates and dishes.
Old Mrs. Zhou cleaned a few bowls, picked out some of the remaining delicious dishes, and asked them to take them home to eat.
"It's not a good thing. Just eat it with some radish and cabbage when you get home."
There are no green leaves in these leftovers, only various kinds of meat. For these rural people, it is a rare delicacy. Ordinary people may not even have a drop of oil in a month.
The families did not refuse and covered the food with cotton cloth and took it away.
With so many banquets today, there weren't actually many leftovers collected. Most of them were eaten up, and the leftovers that could not be finished were taken away by the neighbors. The few families who received them were divided up and then gone.
Old Mrs. Zhou thought to herself that this would save her trouble.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the food will go bad if you don’t finish it.
There were still some leftovers in the kitchen that had not been put on the table, so they kept them for themselves and did not send them out.
The sun was getting redder and redder, and the colorful clouds were about to come out.
Several high-ranking officials in the room came out, "Mrs. Zhou, thank you for your hospitality today. Every dish is delicious, and even the wine is very mellow..."
Lord Xue is worthy of being a civil servant, he has a lot to say when it comes to praising people.
Old Mrs. Zhou was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
"Master Xue, I know you like to drink these two sips, so I asked the children to prepare a small portion for you, which contains your favorite wine."
"Haha, okay, okay, Sister Zhou, then I will accept it with a shameless face~"
Lord Xue drank quite a bit as well, and he reeked of alcohol, and the old man's cheeks were also red.
Xue Ren stretched out his arm to lend him support.
Boss Zhou and his friends were already waiting there with the prepared wedding basket.
Each adult will receive a portion, which contains Moutai liquor and homemade wedding candies, and the portion is very large.
After seeing off the last group of people in the family, Old Mrs. Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.
"Today's wedding banquet has ended successfully!"
The old lady flicked her handkerchief and went back to the main room.
Everyone thought that the old lady felt sad after seeing everyone leave the yard, but when they went into the house, they found that she was happily counting money in the main room!
have to……
It turns out they were overthinking it.
However, Mrs. Liu on the side had tears in her eyes, feeling empty inside that her daughter was married off.
"Why are you crying? Daya is right outside your house. You can see her everywhere. Let them pack up and come over for dinner."
Mr. Zhou put his hands behind his back and went to the backyard.
He was just talking about his wife, but who would have thought that this big man would run to the donkey shed and cry.
Who wouldn’t feel uncomfortable if the cabbages they raised were eaten by pigs?
Shen Yang had already lifted Zhou Mingqin's veil and drank the wedding wine.
After I packed up the things at home, it was already getting late.
There weren't many people to entertain here, and they weren't that tired.
Only after hearing Zhou Minghua coming over to call people to eat did the two of them come over to eat.
The pot in the yard never gets cold, and you can just bring out two dishes and serve them on the table.
This dish is some leftover noodles from lunch, and everyone can just take a steamed bun and eat it.
The young couple is now sitting together, looking very well matched.
