Chapter 272 An unexpected surprise



Today, the Cheng family held a banquet to entertain guests and friends. Mrs. Cheng has been entertaining the female family members in the back house and is very tired after a day.

After seeing off all the guests, the smile that had been on her face could no longer be suppressed.

His straight back also collapsed.

Seeing this, the maid hurried forward and supported her arm, saying, "Madam, I will help you go back and rest."

Madam Cheng raised her hand and tapped her lower back, saying, "Alas, this is just the beginning. The New Year is even more tiring!"

After she finished speaking, she asked worriedly, "Has everyone in the front yard dispersed yet? How much did I drink? Is the hangover soup ready in the kitchen?"

"Don't worry, Madam. Everything has been prepared long ago." The maid said, "The people in the front yard have dispersed by now. The master has gone to see the guests off with the others."

"Okay, then you guys keep an eye on it. I have to go take a break."

Mrs. Cheng had just returned to her room and lay down when she saw Mr. Cheng coming in from outside with an excited look on his face.

She hurriedly stood up, but Master Cheng sat down on the edge of the bed, put his hand on her shoulder and said, "Madam, there is no need to get up. You have worked really hard today.

“The banquet was very good and the guests were full of praise.

"It is such a blessing for me, Cheng, to have a wife taking care of the household chores!"

Mrs. Cheng was a little overwhelmed by her husband's sudden concern and praise, and could only turn her gaze to her son behind him.

The eldest son of the Cheng family smiled and said, "Mother invited Madam You to prepare a banquet today, but she didn't expect that Mr. Wei would come to visit.

"Father has always admired Mr. Wei, and our family was the first in Beijing to host a banquet for him. He and Mr. Wei had a wonderful chat today, so he couldn't be happier!"

Mrs. Cheng didn't expect this to be the reason. You know, the reason why she invited Madam You to prepare the banquet was mainly to give face to Mrs. Qin. She had said it at that time and didn't want to go back on her word.

Unexpectedly, today's banquet gave her a big surprise. Apart from the theme of using chrysanthemums in dishes, Miss You's cooking skills not only did not deteriorate, but seemed to have become even more advanced.

Mrs. Cheng already felt that all this was great value for money, but she didn't expect there would be such an unexpected surprise.

Mr. Cheng is still excited at this moment.

"No matter what, I have established a relationship with Mr. Wei today.

"Remember to prepare a New Year's gift for Mr. Wei during the Chinese New Year.

"The third brother will be taking part in the Spring Examination next year. If he can get some guidance from Mr. Wei, it will be of great benefit to him!"

It was only after hearing this that Mrs. Cheng finally took it seriously.

When it comes to her son's future, she will do her utmost to help in any way she can.

"Don't worry, Master. I remember it and will make all the arrangements."

Mr. Cheng finally reminded him, "Mr. Wei is not an ordinary person. Those extravagant things would not please him and might even backfire. Madam, please consider carefully what to give him."

The news that the Cheng family had successfully invited Mr. Wei to a banquet quickly spread among the wealthy families in the capital after the banquet ended.

For a moment, everyone was wondering what kind of ability the Cheng family had to be able to invite Wei Yan.

The fact that Madam You was the chef of the banquet was naturally brought up as one of the reasons for discussion.

At once, several families sent people back to the Cheng family to try to book a banquet with Madam You.

Unfortunately, when they realized this and turned back, Madam You had already settled their wages and left.

Because the Cheng family's banquet was held at noon, it was not too late after they finished their work.

Mrs. Ye and a few others had already discussed it and decided to go back to Fengle County directly after finishing their work in the afternoon.

But this time, Mr. Cen did not go back with her.

"Today's dishes are all well cooked. I have a cooking competition to attend to, so I can't keep following you around. We'll see you next time you come to the capital to host a banquet."

"Thanks to your guidance during this period, even I feel that I have made great progress." Mrs. Ye said gratefully, "I will take you home first before I leave."

Mr. Cen wanted to refuse, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "Okay, come with me to my house to get to know the place."

"I'll have someone clean up a yard for you later. Next time you come to the capital to host a banquet, you can bring Qingtian over to play and live directly at my house."

Hearing what he said, Mrs. Ye immediately remembered what she had heard before: he lived alone in a house with his father, feeling very empty and lonely.

Mrs. Ye's heart softened, so she didn't refuse and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll bring Qingtian to live with me later."

Sure enough, when Mr. Cen heard this, his eyes became much brighter than usual.

"Come over more often when you have time. I haven't been able to pass on all the cooking skills I've practiced for most of my life to your father, so it's the same if I pass them on to you."

"Okay." Sister Ye said, "I'll work hard to make more money and try to move to the capital next year. That way it will be convenient for me to come visit you in the future."

"That's great!" Elder Cen knew that Mrs. Ye was a strong-willed person, so even though he could easily come up with the money to buy a courtyard in the capital, he didn't mention it. He just said, "Don't push yourself too hard. If you don't have enough money, I can lend it to you first and you can pay it back slowly later."

Sure enough, when Mrs. Ye heard that Mr. Cen was talking about lending her money instead of promising to give her money or help her buy a house, she smiled and said, "Okay, if I need it later, I will definitely ask you."

After watching Sister Ye get into the car and leave, Meng Yu smiled and said, "Master, your stay in Rongxi Village has not been in vain. Now I can understand Sister Ye's temper more and more, and we get along better and better."
