When I first arrived at the Jiang family, the doorman's eyes almost popped out of his head.
"Master Sheng, the banquet is already halfway through, why are you here just now?" The look in his eyes was quite disdainful.
Jia Fugui frowned, glanced at the doorman, and said nothing.
As soon as he arrived at the courtyard, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Jia Fugui put on a professional smile, and Yue Niang blushed a little. After all, this was her first time in the spotlight, and it was because she was late for the banquet.
"Wow...Brother Jia is making such a big show! The banquet is about to begin, and you're so late!"
"That's right, if you don't know, you would think there's a happy event in Mr. Jia's family!"
"Wow... I've never seen anything like this before. He's truly a bastard, not understanding any etiquette or rules!"
"Don't say that. Look at the gift they gave me, it's probably quite big, and there's a huge group of people coming with them!"
"Tsk... I heard he even mortgaged his house. What valuables could he possibly give me?"
The face of old lady Jiang, who was in the lead, was also quite ugly.
"Everyone who comes is a guest, please take a seat!"
Jia Fugui stepped forward and bowed slightly, "Madam Jiang, my wife and I wish you happiness as vast as the East Sea and a life as long as the Southern Mountains. We are giving you a piece of beautiful jade!"
Then, two servants carried the jade up, and Jia Fugui pulled open the red silk to reveal the true appearance of the jade.
Everyone's expressions were very subtle and they were whispering to each other.
"This jade is quite large, but its quality is average! I'm afraid it's going to be expensive. Does even Jia Fugui have poor taste sometimes?"
"It's too perfunctory. At least carve it!"
"That's right, this gift doesn't have any sincerity at all!"
Seeing Old Lady Jiang frowning slightly, Jia Fugui bowed slightly, "Old Madam, to be honest, I originally wanted to carve a piece of Guanyin Buddha! Unfortunately, the carving master is away, so this uncarved jade is too shabby to give to you. Please don't blame me, Old Madam!"
Hearing this, Madam Jiang nodded slightly, "No problem, it's rare that you have such a thoughtful intention!"
Because the most famous carving master in Nanzhou had indeed gone out of town, and she knew about it!
Yue Niang breathed a sigh of relief, took the box from Cui'er, and bowed slightly, "Madam, there's a reason why I'm late today. It's because of the cakes in my hand!"
She handed it to Nanny Jiang, who opened it in front of everyone, and everyone's faces suddenly changed.
"I made this myself. It was a little complicated, so it took some time to make. I hope the old lady will always smile!"
The moment Mrs. Jiang opened the box, a smile appeared on her face.
"Great, great... This gift is just what I want! Take a seat!"
Everyone looked at them with unfriendly eyes.
Jiang Wensheng came to attract hatred and instantly attracted attention.
He knelt down and kowtowed loudly, "Grandson, I wish you a long life and a long life!"
He slowly stood up and waved to several servants, "Be careful!"
Nanny Jiang glanced at the old lady, who nodded, and she asked someone to bring a table.
"Grandma, I'm not talented, and I'm broke, so I can't offer you a good gift. However, this pastry was made between the hours of Yin and Chen, and I hope you like it!"
Everyone: What the hell? Pastries? Are they short of money or are they just not sincere? This is really embarrassing.
He directed four servants to carefully open the wooden box, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the complete cake.
A giant cake appeared in front of everyone. It had three layers. The bottom layer was surrounded by longevity peaches, each one was round, plump and very fresh. The second layer was full of peony flowers, and the top layer was an old lady sleeping on an Eight Immortals chair.
At the same time, Old Mrs. Jiang stood up suddenly and walked around the cake several times.
"It's truly an ingenious craft. Can this be eaten?"
"Yes, Grandma, these are the colors extracted from food, you can eat them with confidence!"
He handed a small spoon to Old Lady Jiang, who took it, carefully dug into the longevity peach, and immediately burst into laughter.
"Okay, okay, Vincent, you put so much thought into this gift. I really like it!"
Turning to look at the guests, he said, "Thank you all for your blessings today. This cake is quite large. How about everyone try it?"
Looking at Jiang Wensheng, "Go sit at the table next to you!"
He was a little flattered, after all, all the children at that table were legitimate children.
He felt uneasy the moment he sat down, and everyone at the table looked at him with different eyes.
"Hey, Vincent, I heard your shop has a really hot milk tea dish lately."
"Brother, my skills are just trifles and not worthy of being put on stage!"
"Oh? Why do I feel like you're trying to use this birthday party for your grandmother to promote your store?"
"Brother, don't talk nonsense. I own a teahouse, not a pastry shop. Besides, I'm sincerely congratulating Grandmother on her birthday. How could I do something so unfilial? Although I come from a humble background and have little talent or education, I do have some good manners!"
These words were heard by Old Lady Jiang at the next table. She glanced at Nanny Jiang, who immediately understood what she meant.
After three rounds of drinks, someone approached Jiang Wensheng and said, "Brother Wensheng, where did you buy this pastry? It's incredibly delicious. My mother's birthday party is in two days, and I'd like to make one for her!"
Jiang Wensheng remembered Tang Youyou's instructions and said, "I asked an expert to make this specially. I'm sorry, I can't tell you!"
After the banquet, he was invited to Sukiin.
"Grandmother, please accept my grandson's greetings!"
Mrs. Jiang nodded slightly, "You haven't forgotten the etiquette!"
"As an unfilial grandson, I cannot be with you. Even if I can kowtow to you twice, I am happy!"
Old Mrs. Jiang scolded, "You're even more talkative than when you were little! Sit down!"
"yes!"
"I heard that you mortgaged your house?"
