"Understood, madam."

The three sisters-in-law went downstairs to study the menu, and Mu Yi'an also needed to think about what else needed to be noted.

Because it was a dinner party, Aunt Mu and her family arrived in the afternoon, while Uncle Mu, the two Mu brothers, and Mu Yi would arrive in the evening.

"Third Aunt, Cousin-in-law, Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law, Sister Yisi, come in quickly."

Mu Yi'an greeted the first group of guests at the second gate. It was quite interesting to have so many guests over for the first time.

"Sister Yi'an, your house is so big!"

Mu Yisi exclaimed in surprise; this courtyard was much larger than their own.

"It is a bit more spacious, but the kids in my family are too active, and if the space is too small, they won't be able to run around."

Mu Yi'an urged everyone to come into the living room, saying they couldn't just stand in the courtyard talking.

"Mom, this place is so big. I'd like to go and have a look around later. Is that alright, Sister Yi'an?"

"Why not? I'll have a maid take you there in a bit. Let's go in first and have some fruit."

At the door, Wei Yunduo had already lifted the curtain, and everyone went inside together.

The living room was also very large. Near the north wall, Mu Yi'an had a piece of furniture made that resembled a modern tatami mat, covered with a thick mattress, and on top of the mattress was a bamboo mat.

A fairly large mahogany table was placed on the tatami mat, and a lot of food was laid out on it.

Yi'an invited his third aunt to sit down, while his cousins ​​sat on chairs on either side. There was a small table between the two chairs, with food and tea on it.

"Yi'an, this bed you made is very nice. You can lie down for a while when you're tired."

"Yes, it's for convenience, so the kids won't drop it on the ground when they're playing together."

Mu Yi'an enjoys playing on this platform with her children. The whole family can sit together, chat, and play around. It's wonderful.

"Mom, let's make one when we get back. It's really nice for the kids to play on."

The eldest sister-in-law looked at her little girl, who had already crawled around several times.

The eldest son of the eldest sister-in-law's family is about the same age as Shao Yun. He has already started school and hasn't finished yet.

"Okay, let's make one when we get back."

Aunt Mu also thought it was a good thing, because she wouldn't have to go back to the inner room for her afternoon nap.

The group chatted and laughed together, talking about things that women are interested in, such as children, clothes, jewelry, and skincare, with laughter filling the air.

Mu Yisi followed Yun Duo to the backyard, looked at the small garden, and found everything novel and interesting.

When the rest of the Mu family arrived, Sister-in-law Li and the others had already prepared the meal.

There is a separate dining room at home. Since it's all family members, Mu Yi'an didn't use a screen to separate them. She just set up two tables, one for the men and one for the women.

Shao Ming, Shao Yun, and the eldest grandson of the Mu family were also placed at the men's table.

The dishes are slightly more refined than home-style cooking, which makes them seem approachable yet polite.

Uncle Mu and Aunt Mu nodded inwardly, thinking, "Yi An, very good."
