Chapter 322: It's not the original Jiang Youzhen
The Jiang family banquet lasted for more than an hour. Everyone ate happily. The women stayed to wash the dishes, while the men returned the borrowed tables, chairs and benches.
After the banquet, everyone was still enthusiastic and praised Jiang Youzhen again and again. Especially after the chief of the Jiang clan announced at the banquet that Jiang Youzhen would buy more land and a clan school for the clan, the clan members were even more enthusiastic.
During this period, many people sighed that Jiang Fugui had finally gotten his reward after all the hardship he had endured. Now his family was wealthy, his son was successful, and he would live a happy life in the future.
"Luckily, Fugui was adopted, otherwise how could we have such a good life today?"
"Isn't it? Those people in Jianghe's family are not good people."
Everyone criticized those people in the old house, saying that they were so shameless and conscienceless, otherwise the whole village would not have no good reviews for them.
In addition, the Jiang family members now have to rely on Jiang Youzhen, so the voices attacking the Jiang family’s old house are getting louder and louder.
The hustle and bustle of the day finally ended after dark, and there was still some food left. Jiang Youzhen asked Shen to give it to the women who came to help, and share some with each family.
"There are still so many meatballs left, are you going to give them all away?" Aunt Ya couldn't help feeling a little distressed when she saw everyone putting them in basins.
"Xiao Lang wanted to give it to us, but he said that everyone had worked hard today, so he gave us some food. It would be awkward if he didn't pay for it."
Shen's face was filled with smiles. Jiang Youzhen was now becoming more considerate in his dealings with others.
"Here! Take more. We can't finish it at home. Meatballs, chicken, and the bowl of pork elbow, rabbit meat, etc. Take them all away."
"No need! Why do I need so much? I can't finish it." Aunt Ya waved her hand quickly.
After some discussion between Mrs. Shen and Aunt Ya, Aunt Ya finally accepted it.
"Chun Ya's father said that Chun Ya is not young anymore, so he asked her aunt to find a husband for her. The family is good, with more than 20 acres of land, so they are considered wealthy."
Aunt Ya was about to step out of the door but then she pulled her legs back and suddenly started talking about this.
"What? So urgent? Have I inquired carefully? What kind of character is the young man like?" Shen was very surprised. She originally wanted to talk about this with Aunt Ya, but she didn't expect Aunt Ya to bring it up on her own initiative.
She was a little embarrassed, but luckily she didn't mention it, otherwise it would be self-indulgent. But she also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the matter should be resolved.
Aunt Ya's eyes flashed with disappointment, but she soon returned to her smile. Her father was right. The Jiang family was no longer within her reach.
Jiang Youzhen passed the examination for a scholar, and he will pass the examination for a juren or jinshi in the future, so he has a bright future. Chunya is just a peasant girl, and her family is so poor, what can she bring to a man?
Even if it succeeds, they will not dare to seek justice if Chunya is wronged in the future. Since ancient times, marriage has always been about matching up, and the current Jiang family is not even worthy of the Wang family.
After figuring it out, Aunt Ya felt relieved.
"Xiaolang is working hard and making progress. I really like this junior and hope that he can achieve great success in the future. When he becomes an official in the future, don't forget me, your aunt."
Aunt Ya was filled with emotion, and Shen was very moved, but she didn't know what to say.
"How could Xiaolang forget Aunt Ya? You were so good to her? I watched Chunya grow up, and now she's getting married. I feel reluctant to let her go."
Shen thought about giving Chunya more gifts as compensation when she got married.
"I just want you to help me find out. This young man has a good family background, but I feel a little uneasy."
Aunt Ya sighed, feeling very bitter. If they hadn't been friends for so many years, how could they dare to covet Xiao Lang?
They all felt that they were not worthy of the young man who had more than 20 acres of land at home. They even thought they were worthy of Xiaolang before, but now it seems ridiculous.
"Hey! Let his father and Xiaolang help to find out." Shen nodded repeatedly.
Jiang Youzhen was a little tired after a day of socializing. After seeing off Aunt Ya, Shen told her about Chunya's marriage proposal.
"Then when Chunya gets married, mother will give her more dowry. Aunt Ya has always been very good to me, and this is the only way we can make up for it." Jiang Youzhen understood what Shen meant, and he did feel he owed her something.
Just as the mother and daughter were talking, there was a sudden sound of gongs and drums outside.
"What's going on? Did something happen in someone's house? So late at night." Shen was very confused, then walked out of the house and walked towards the gate.
"Why is the sound getting closer? There are only our family and the headman's family here, right? Could something happen in the headman's family?" Shen muttered to herself, feeling a little worried.
Jiang Youzhen immediately asked Qing Lang, the servant he had just bought, to inquire about it. Qing Lang took the order and quickly left.
The villagers were also very confused and went out to watch the fun.
"Huh? Isn't this the old man of the Jiang family?" Someone recognized at a glance that the person holding the torch was Jiang He, and became even more confused.
"It's him. Aren't the eldest and second sons behind him? His whole family is here! What's the matter? Why are they beating gongs and drums? Is there a happy event in his family too?"
"It doesn't look like that! They don't look like they are going to be happy. Where are they going? Isn't that the rich family's?"
"Let's go! Let's follow them and see what they want to do."
Everyone was talking about it and followed, intending to see what tricks those people in the old house were going to play next.
"Everyone! Our family is now going to enforce justice on behalf of the heavens!"
Jiang Haiqing saw that more people were watching, so he started to shout. At this time, they had already reached the gate of Jiang Youzhen's yard, and he looked at the gate of Jiang's yard with ill intentions.
"What do you mean by "acting on behalf of heaven"?" Everyone was confused. Is there a bully in the village?
"Everyone! Think about it, what kind of personality did Jiang Youzhen, the young master of the Jiang family, have before? What kind of personality does he have now? As the saying goes, it is easy to change a country but difficult to change one's nature. How could a person change so completely in such a short period of time?"
Everyone was stunned at first, then they thought, yes! It has indeed changed too much.
"It has indeed changed too much, but what does this have to do with you?" someone couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"Jiang Haiqing, what do you want to do now? Isn't it normal for Xiaolang to change his personality after surviving a disaster? Isn't this a sign of enlightenment?"
Aunt Ya had just walked halfway when she heard the noise and rushed over again. These people in the old house were troublemakers. Today was a good day, but they wanted to make people unhappy again.
Aunt Ya quickly called a child from the village to find Chief Jiang and the head of the village. These people in the old house were making a lot of noise today, and she didn't know what bad things they were up to!
Everyone thought what Aunt Ya said made sense, didn't they?
"That's right! Don't you allow people to open up?"
Today, all the villagers have attended the Jiang family's banquet. Naturally, they would help to say a few good words for the guests.
"Even if he has become enlightened, he is so different from before. How can it be so strange? He is simply a completely different person."
"When you speak human language, it seems as if you have only studied for two years." Aunt Ya snorted coldly.
Everyone laughed silently. In fact, they didn't understand Jiang Haiqing's pretentious words and didn't know what they meant.
Jiang Haiqing's face darkened, and then he said, "Okay! Then I'll tell you straight away, I asked the master, and the master said that Jiang Youzhen is not the original Jiang Youzhen."
