During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.
But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...
But seeing Mrs. Ye's proud expression, Elder Cen rarely refrained from making sarcastic remarks. Instead, he found another way and said, "Sending such a smart child to a girls' school would probably delay her education. We can invite a teacher to come home and teach her in the future."
Mrs. Ye had indeed not thought that this was possible before, but after hearing this, she had a new idea.
"That's right! Didn't the Qin family invite Mr. Wei back to be Young Master Qin's teacher?
"We can also hire a teacher to teach Qingtian how to read and write at home later."
Mr. Cen was shocked when he heard what Mrs. Ye said.
The news that Mr. Wei was invited back to Beijing by the Qin family is currently only circulated within a small circle.
For some unknown reason, the Qin family did not make this matter public, and Mr. Wei has never made a public appearance.
So now people who know this news are generally divided into two groups.
One group wanted to know where the Qin family got the news about Mr. Wei and how they were able to invite Mr. Wei back to teach.
The other group was skeptical, thinking that either the Qin family was bragging or someone was deliberately spreading the news to embarrass the Qin family.
Just as Elder Cen was about to inquire more carefully, Qiu Wei ran in anxiously and said, "Madam You, my master wants you to come over. Someone has come all the way from the capital to see you!"
"Capital? Who?" Mrs. Ye was puzzled. She only knew Madam Qin and Young Master Qin in the capital.
But hadn't we just met at the flower viewing banquet? What was there that he couldn't have said back then that made him come all the way to Fengle County?
Could it be that these were guests from the previous flower viewing banquet who came here to book the banquet?
Thinking that it might be business, Mrs. Ye immediately became excited.
I have to earn money to hire a husband for my daughter, so I have to work hard.
Mrs. Ye let go of Qingtian, straightened her clothes, fixed her hair, and was about to follow Qiuwei to take a look.
Qiu Wei said, "Madam You, wait a minute, the master said you should bring Miss Qingtian with you."
Mrs. Ye keenly noticed that Qiu Wei's address had changed, and she even added the word "girl" after "Sunny"?
So who is this person?
Mrs. Ye picked up Qingtian and followed Qiuwei out.
Boss Ye and Boss Cen looked at each other and followed at the same time.
Mrs. Ye held Qingtian in her arms and followed Qiuwei all the way to the main hall of the Jiang family.
She didn't know the rules, but Mr. Cen did.
Generally speaking, in a house as big as the Jiang family's, guests only need to be invited to the flower hall.
Only guests with higher status or extremely distinguished status need to use the main hall.
Mrs. Ye carried Qingtian into the house first, and then she heard Qingtian's surprised voice: "Brother Qin, are you here to play with me?"
While Mr. Cen was still wondering who this Brother Qin was, Boss Ye had already put his mind at ease. It turned out to be the young master of the Qin family.
Then another familiar voice rang out: "Xiao Qingtian, you only see your brother Qin? I'm such a grown-up standing here, and you've ignored me, haven't you?"
Qingtian then quickly called out, "Mr. Wei."
Mrs. Ye was a little surprised when she saw that the only people coming were Qin Hexuan and Wei Yan.
"Young Master Qin, Mr. Wei, why are you here?"
Wei Yan stroked his short beard and said, "Sister Ye, you are so unkind. You didn't even tell me in advance that you were going to the flower viewing banquet to cook, and I missed it."
Qin Hexuan opened his mouth and wanted to say that the flower-viewing banquet was for female guests, but when he remembered that he was also going, he didn't dare to say it out loud.
However, through this period of time together, he got to know Wei Yan more and more.
He is indeed a very knowledgeable person, and often his ideas are very unique and clever.
However, although Wei Yan is not young anymore, he still has a childish temper, especially when it comes to eating.
Ever since he was invited back to the mansion by Madam Qin, the family has changed several cooks.
So when he learned that the flower viewing banquet that Madam Qin and Young Master Qin attended was actually prepared by Mrs. Ye, who also prepared a chrysanthemum banquet and a chrysanthemum hotpot, he could no longer hold back and insisted on coming to find Mrs. Ye to taste it.
Qin Hexuan wanted to see Qingtian, so he asked Mrs. Qin for permission and came along.
Mrs. Ye didn't expect that Mr. Wei would run so far just for his stuttering.
Mr. Jiang had long known that Mrs. Ye knew the Qin family, but he didn't expect that even Mr. Wei liked the food he cooked. He felt more and more that he had found a treasure.
Mr. Cen was completely unaware of this and was so shocked that his jaw dropped.
Qin Hexuan talked to Qingtian for a few words before he realized that there was another stranger in the room.
He subconsciously straightened his back, looked up at Mr. Jiang, and motioned him to introduce himself quickly.
After all, Mr. Jiang had been to the West and seen the world, but the look he gave him sent a chill down his spine.
Young Master Qin's eyes are too sharp.
Fortunately, Mr. Jiang was not a fool. He immediately understood what Qin Hexuan meant and introduced the two parties.
"Young Master Qin, Mr. Wei, this is Elder Cen, the Imperial Kitchen's attendant. He's here to discuss the cooking competition the Emperor mentioned a few days ago."
In fact, Qin Hexuan and Mr. Wei had never heard of who Mr. Cen was.
But no matter who it is, as long as they are working for the emperor, they must be respected.
Qin Hexuan stepped forward to greet him.
How could Elder Cen dare to accept his courtesy? He hurriedly stepped aside and said, "Young Master Qin, there's no need to be so polite. 'Old Cen' is just a name they give to me. You can just call me Cen Yuanming."
"You are an elder, so it is not excessive to address me with respect." Qin Hexuan said politely, "So you want to invite Aunt Ye to participate in the cooking competition?"
