Sister Han is good at farming

Chapter 157 Ruan Shifu's Loss

The meal was a great pleasure for everyone.

As soon as Ruan Qingqing and others returned, Old Lady Ruan hurriedly asked everyone whether the betrothal ceremony went smoothly.

"There were some twists and turns at the beginning, but overall it went smoothly." Ruan Wanxi said concisely.

"What twists and turns occurred?" Old Master Ruan immediately grasped the key point.

Everyone started talking at once, and the hearts of Old Mrs. Ruan, Old Mr. Ruan and others began to beat up and down.

Finally, they also told them that Yunqing Kingdom was about to go to war with the surrounding countries, and Mr. Ruan and others fell silent.

"After the fifth brother's wedding is over, let's go back as soon as possible!" Old Master Ruan said sullenly.

"Mom and Dad, what I mean is that since you are out, why don't you stay in the capital? Our home is too close to the battlefield, it's too dangerous!" Ruan Wanxi immediately tried to persuade them to stay.

"No, they say fallen leaves return to their roots. I want to stay in my hometown when I get old." Mr. Ruan refused without thinking.

"What about the brothers? What's the plan?"

"My parents are going back, so as the eldest son, I naturally have to go back as well. Besides, our family and our business are all in Qingshui County. In the capital city, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, we don't have a business that can support our family. We can't stay here for long." Ruan Wanjin sighed.

"Mom and Dad, I have earned some money here and can support you." Ruan Shixing felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this and said hurriedly.

"You should keep the money for yourself! Find a wife as soon as possible and live a good life with your family without worrying us." Liu sighed.

"I'll see if I can find a job here in the next few days. If I find one, I'll stay here. If not, I'll go back." Ruan Wanyin brought all the children in the family out with this plan.

"I can only do manual labor, and my brain isn't as quick as my brothers and sisters. It would be better for me to go back to my hometown." Ruan Wangang said in a muffled voice.

"I have an official position here and it is not convenient for me to leave, so I will not stay here." Ruan Wantie also refused to stay here.

"What about Qingqing? You have so many good friends. At least you can be guaranteed food and clothing if you stay in the capital." Ruan Wanxi looked at Ruan Qingqing.

Ruan Qingqing shook her head. "Shi Ping has already enlisted in the army. I want to stay in my hometown to see if I can provide them with any help. We also want to wait for him to return home safely."

After discussing the next plans, everyone continued to be busy with subsequent matters.

Ruan Wanxi's wedding date was set for the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. When he went to the bride's house to announce the date, Qian Fengshi had not shown up.

Because their Ruan family had two Jinshi at the same time, and with the help of Fu Yuanhao and others to build momentum, and the presentation of betrothal gifts by Zhou Che and the emperor, the Ruan Mansion was particularly lively on the day of the wedding.

Many people who had not received the invitation before asked Ruan Wanxi for one directly. As a result, there was not enough room at home for the banquet, so Ruan Wanxi had to book a restaurant nearby.

After welcoming the bride back and worshipping heaven and earth, the guests moved to the restaurant for the banquet.

Sitting in the box on the third floor were royal relatives and officials of the third rank and above or their families; sitting on the second floor were officials below the third rank and female guests; and sitting on the first floor were some bureaucrats and members of the Ruan family.

There were so many people that the four brothers Ruan Wanjin were not familiar with the officials and could not lead the guests to their seats. Fortunately, Fu Yuanhao and six other people and their friends came to help, so the scene was not so chaotic.

When everyone was seated, the Nguyen family also sat down. Nguyen The Phu had been busy with Nguyen The Hing before, and Nguyen The Hing was pulled to the second floor by his colleagues. Nguyen The Phu followed him to the second floor without knowing why.

"Eighth brother, go to the first floor to find tenth brother and the others. I'll chat with my colleagues here." Seeing that he looked at a loss, Ruan Shixing reminded him.

Ruan Shifu had never seen such a big scene before. Although he was already 17 years old, he was still timid and panicked. His elder brother had spoken, so he had to suppress his fear and go downstairs alone.

As soon as he arrived at the first floor, he was pulled to sit down before he could see which table it was. As soon as he sat down, he found that everyone at the table was a stranger. When he was about to leave the table, someone screamed, "How come someone took my seat?"

He looked up and saw a young man who was about the same height as him.

"Sorry, I went to the wrong table."

Ruan Shifu apologized quietly.

"What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly." The young man picked his ears and tilted his ears towards him.

This immediately caused everyone at the table to burst into laughter.

Ruan Shifu's face turned red, and he shouted, "Sorry, I went to the wrong table!"

Then he ran outside.

When the young man wanted to embarrass him, he was stopped by someone next to him, "Hey! Mr. Li, don't embarrass a country boy like him. I was shortsighted just now and accidentally mistook him for you and pulled him to the seat."

"After all, he is from the countryside and can't show up in public!" The young man named Li Shao snorted disdainfully at Ruan Shifu's back.

Ruan Qingqing's table was about to start eating when she saw Ruan Shigui running over and asking breathlessly, "Sister Qingqing, have you seen my brother?"

"Myna was following Big Brother before, so he should have come down by now. What? Didn't you see him?" Ruan Qingqing stood up immediately.

"No, Brother Ten saw him coming down from the table in the southeast before, and then he ran out. We haven't seen him since."

When Ruan Qingqing heard this, she no longer cared about eating. After saying hello to Liu and others at the same table, she walked out.

"What happened?" Seeing Ruan Shiwang standing at the door, Ruan Qingqing asked him directly.

"I don't know the details. I just saw Myna being pulled to sit at a table in the southeast direction. Then everyone at the table laughed. When I was about to look for Myna, I saw him getting down from the table and running out. I... I didn't dare to run outside." Ruan Shiwang lowered his head at the end.

"You did the right thing by telling us the news! Go back to your seat first, I'll go find the starling." Ruan Qingqing said this to comfort him and then walked out.

"Sister Qingqing, I'm going to go find my brother too!"

Ruan Qingqing nodded at him.

Ruan Shiwang struggled for a long time, and seeing that Ruan Qingqing and the others were about to disappear at the door, he hurriedly chased after them, "I'll go help look for them too!"

Ruan Qingqing and the other two took some effort to finally see Ruan Shifu at the corner of an alley not far from the restaurant where they were.

At this moment, he was facing the wall, his shoulders shrugged, and if you listened carefully, you could easily hear him sobbing.

Ruan Qingqing stepped back and gave a wink to Ruan Shigui and Ruan Shiwang.

Everyone took a few steps back and shouted, "Myna, where are you?"

When Ruan Shifu heard the voice, he immediately wiped away his tears, took a few deep breaths, and walked out.

"I am here."
