Chapter 672 The Warrior's Widow
Tianxiang Tower is just off the main street, less than three minutes' walk from Qin Yao's house.
Seeing that everyone was almost here, the restaurant staff began to serve the dishes.
Everyone came to the banquet, the men were outside, and the women were sitting in the hall. Everyone was eating and drinking, and they were full of praise for the banquet hosted by Qin Yao's family.
There were eight kinds of meat and vegetables, and the banquet was ordered from Tianxiang Restaurant. It seemed like it cost a lot of money.
This is just a housewarming party. The host doesn't accept any gift money, so he can treat everyone to such a meal generously.
Coupled with the egg pastry snacks during the day, this housewarming banquet left a good image of Qin Yao's family in the hearts of the neighbors as generous, hospitable, easy to get along with, and well-off.
During the dinner, Mrs. Qiu looked outside several times. After looking for a long time, she saw no trace of the Qi family. She had a small conversation with Mrs. Yu, Mrs. Wang and others, and everyone clicked their tongues and shook their heads.
As the hosts, Qin Yao and Liu Ji greeted the guests inside and outside. Now that everyone was seated, the couple had a chance to meet.
Qin Yao also noticed the murmurings of Mrs. Qiu and others, and asked Liu Ji: "Didn't you send an invitation to the next door?"
Liu Ji didn't want to carry this big pot, so he quickly explained: "I sent it. Awang sent it to me personally yesterday afternoon."
Although he said the day before yesterday that he would not invite the Qi family, it was just an angry word.
Qin Yao frowned slightly, "They didn't send anyone? Not even a word of congratulation?"
Liu Ji nodded. He stood at the door for a whole day, knowing who was coming and who was not. "Everyone in the city, except Qi's family, came to congratulate him."
"Madam, what's going on with the Qi family? We haven't offended them, have we?" Liu Ji, who had always been self-reliant, couldn't figure it out.
Even if there is a huge hatred between neighbors, there is no need to make it so tense if you can't see each other when you look up.
"Forget it, whether love comes or not, stay away from the whole family when you see her in the future." Qin Yao waved her hand, signaling Liu Ji to skip this topic. She was starving to death, and she didn't have time to taste the delicious food on the table. .
Liu Ji chuckled and immediately forgot about the Qi family. He picked up a chopstick of drunken shrimp that he thought was particularly delicious and put it into Qin Yao's bowl. "Madam, eat this, it's delicious."
With that said, he continued to look for vegetables that she might like to eat, and put them all into Qin Yao's bowl. He didn't stop until they were piled high into a hill.
Anyway, the people sitting at their table are either Mr. Ding and his wife, Liu Fei and the stewards from Fulong Trading Company. They all know the situation well and are not afraid of embarrassment.
Mrs. Xiao glanced at Liu Ji secretly, then turned to face Mr. Ding and reminded him angrily: "Look at me."
Mr. Ding looked up blankly: "Ah?"
"By the way, where are Xiang'er and Shi'er?" Master Ding asked doubtfully as he did not see his daughter and son.
Mrs. Xiao asked for trouble. She gently pinched the soft flesh of Mr. Ding's waist with her hand under the table, and raised her chin to the children's table: "Aren't you sitting over there with a few kids?"
Mr. Ding almost couldn't help shouting, but he held it back when he saw his wife's grinning expression.
murmured: "Why are you sitting at the same table with a child when you are already engaged?"
While secretly breathing in the air-conditioning, my desire for survival exploded, and I was busy picking up food for my wife, which was very coaxing.
This scene happened to fall into Liu Ji's eyes, and he almost burst into laughter.
Hahaha, finally he is not the only one who is afraid of women!
"By the way, ma'am." Liu Ji poked Qin Yao's arm with the tail of his chopsticks, "I just heard what you said about Mr. Wang Jin in the inner hall, but did you say that we know that Wang Jin?"
Qin Yao glanced at him and said, "Your ears are very bright. You can hear from such a distance."
Liu Ji said smugly: "That's not a good idea. Madam, you can always be here when you call me."
"Young poor man!" Qin Yao shook her arms in disgust, and then nodded and said, "You heard me right, the son of Mrs. Wang's family is the Wang Jin we know." Liu Ji was startled and subconsciously raised his finger. Pointing to Wang Chengyang, who was sandwiched between the older men and younger men at the children's table, he asked, "Is his son that old?"
Qin Yao shook her head: "It's his nephew, not his son, his eldest brother's child. Several of Wang Jin's marriages were ruined because of this child, because the child is in Wang Jin's name, and you have to give him such a big gift if you marry him. The child becomes an aunt.”
No, since the child is in Wang Jin's name, she is the mother.
“What's wrong? Are the kid's parents gone?” Liu Ji's spirit of gossip burned brightly.
As long as one of the parents is still alive, the children will not follow the uncle.
Qin Yao: "My father died in the battle, and my mother committed suicide by throwing herself into a well after giving birth to a child."
Liu Ji was even more surprised, "Is this a posthumous child?"
Qin Yao reminded him to keep his voice down and said softly: "Both the old man of the Wang family and the eldest son of the Wang family died in the battle, at dawn before dawn."
Liu Ji did not expect that the old lady of the Wang family and her grandson were still widows of warriors. He admired these people who dared to fight on the battlefield from the bottom of his heart.
but!
Except Wang Jin!
Although Wang Jin later made Qin Yao a lot of money, Liu Ji still held a grudge.
He did not forget at all what happened that day when they were thrown to thirty dead soldiers.
This is really a coincidence, we are enemies on a narrow road!
Qin Yao saw through the little girl in his heart at a glance and warned: "Don't give me any trouble. The life of an orphan and a widowed mother is not easy."
Liu Jiqie said, he does not bully orphans and widowed mothers.
Besides, he is not that kind of person.
He has a head debt and a master, and he only finds Wang Jin!
The sky darkened and the guests gradually dispersed.
Mrs. Wang was pulled by Mrs. Qiu and others to chat and not allowed to leave. They said they wanted to find a diligent girl for Wang Jin.
This is what Mrs. Wang is worried about. She is smiling and waiting for their introduction.
As we chatted, we became the last wave of guests to leave.
Yin Le took a large piece of chicken cake wrapped in oil paper and handed it to Wang Chengyang, "Young Master, take it home to eat."
She just heard about this child's life experience, which was so pitiful.
As for her, she can actually live the life she has now because of Master Wang Jin's light.
If Lord Wang Jin hadn't gone to Kaiyang County to investigate the case and asked Magistrate Song to execute Pan Meiren, the old bustard who persecuted innocent women, on the spot, she would not have reunited with her master, nor would she have lived such a good life today. .
Wang Chengyang looked strangely at Yin Le, who showed kindness to him, but did not immediately take the cake she handed her.
Yin Le looked at the child's vigilant look and smiled warmly: "My name is Yin Le, Mrs. Qin is my master. Your uncle has been kind to me. This is a small thank you. If you have any strength in your family in the future, Just come to me and don't bother your grandmother.”
“I can chop wood and carry water!”
Yin Le raised her arms proudly and squeezed her biceps.
Wang Chengyang then accepted the oil paper bag she handed him and bowed politely, "Thank you."
“Why are you wearing a mask?” Children are always curious.
