She's really angry!
This old fox is actually a green tea b*tch.
Depend on! !
Are you trying to shorten her lifespan by making her accept these gifts?
That's incredibly cunning.
"Alright, you want to marry my father, right? I agree. Father, starting tomorrow you can move back to Baihua Village and stay in the dilapidated temple at the village entrance. Anyway, you've already given the house to Yan Chun, so he can't let you move back. My youngest daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and there's not enough room in the mansion. It's perfect that you can move back to Baihua Village after you get married and give the first courtyard to Changfu and his family, so the two brothers can each have one. If that's not possible, you can move to this aunt's house. I'll give you half a tael of silver as a gift. Since you're both getting married twice, there's no need to have a wedding banquet. Father, you can move out tomorrow. I'll have the maid pack your luggage tonight."
Yan Xia's words shocked both of them.
"Xia'er, I won't marry her! Why would I marry her for no reason? I can move out, but marrying her is out of the question! Madam Sun, stand up! Why are you kneeling? Are you trying to shorten my daughter's lifespan? You're so old and you're not thinking straight. If you dare to harm my daughter's lifespan, I'll fight you to the death!"
Yan Hecheng stopped hiding behind Yan Xia.
He walked up to Sun Xiangxiang and roared angrily.
If it weren't for the difference between men and women, Yan Hecheng would have wanted to just pull her up and push her away.
"Auntie was wrong. I didn't mean to shorten your lifespan. I was just worried you would be angry. Please don't be angry. I'll go back first and we can talk about it another day, okay? Brother Yan, you still have guests at your home. I'll go home first and come back to see you in a few days."
Sun Xiangxiang was worried that Yan Xia would really drive Yan Hecheng away.
My mind went blank.
She turned and ran away.
"Don't go! I'm telling you, don't come looking for me again!" Yan Hecheng shouted behind her.
But Sun Xiangxiang acted as if she were deaf and couldn't hear anything.
He didn't even turn his head.
"Dad, this isn't a peach blossom, it's a rotten peach blossom! You're doomed!"
Yan Xia looked at her cheap father with schadenfreude.
“Oh, what a mess I’ve made! I just went to buy some fish and ran into her. I promised you that I wouldn’t eat with her and wouldn’t let the gatekeeper in, but who knew she’d be blocking the door every day? Now I don’t even dare to leave the house, and I don’t dare to tell you, for fear of making you angry.”
Yan Hecheng is kind-hearted.
He was afraid to tell Yan Xia about it.
Yan Xia reported the matter directly to the authorities.
Then Zuo Li would lead his men to arrest Sun.
The woman had served time in prison and was a widow; she truly wouldn't be able to survive after her release.
Unless absolutely necessary.
Yan Hecheng didn't want to tell Yan Xia.
But unexpectedly, today was his grandson's birthday banquet. When he came out to greet the guests, he saw Mrs. Sun standing at the alley entrance again. If he didn't go over...
It looked like Madam Sun was about to arrive.
So many guests.
If Sun speaks nonsense, he wouldn't be able to explain himself even if he had ten mouths.
The only thing they could do was stop Ms. Sun at the alley entrance and persuade her to leave.
"Oh, it's her? No wonder, Dad, she's quite pretty. You really don't want to marry her?" Yan Xia suddenly realized. After regaining her senses, she looked at Yan Hecheng with amusement.
"Marry her? Xia'er, don't tease your father. I really don't want to marry her. She's obviously a troublemaker. Compared to your mother, she's no better. I want to live a few more years." Yan Hecheng replied with a pout.
He finally managed to climb out of the pit.
How could I possibly fall back into the pit?
Don't say it's just a little bit good-looking.
Even if a celestial being came, he wouldn't marry her.
"Okay, I understand. Let's go inside first. Don't keep the guests waiting too long. We can discuss this later."
Yan Xia straightened her expression and turned to return to her residence. Yan Hecheng followed closely behind.
Early noon.
The banquet begins.
Five maids walked slowly from the kitchen in a line, carrying trays in their hands, and were responsible for serving dishes to five tables of guests.
The guests sat around a table with several cold dishes on it, but no one had touched their chopsticks yet.
Those invited by Yan Xia are all close friends.
Everyone was polite and knew how to behave appropriately.
"What are these two soups called? What are they made of?" The maid had just finished setting out the soup bowls and was about to leave to go to the kitchen to get more hot dishes when Lu Baozhu called her back.
She pointed to the two soups and asked.
"Miss Lu, the soup on the left is called Golden, Silver and Jade Three-Ingredient Soup. It is made by cooking corn, glutinous rice balls, and brewing rice together. It tastes sweet and sour with a slight aroma of wine. Even those who don't drink much can drink a big bowl of it. The soup on the right is called Tai Chi Eight Flying Green Beauty Soup. It is made by slicing the abdomens of eight kinds of birds into strips and adding them to a broth that has been simmered overnight. It tastes salty, fresh, tender, and smooth. As for the green part, it is made by mixing green tea and fresh bitter bud powder with a secret powder. It tastes bittersweet with a strong tea aroma. It is refreshing and invigorating."
The maid was actually seeing this dish for the first time.
Just before serving the dishes, Yan Xia went to the kitchen and gave them a special training session.
Otherwise, even the maid wouldn't know anything when asked.
At this moment, at the end of the corridor, Yan Xia was standing in the shadows beside a pillar when she saw Lu Baozhu asking the maid a question.
He then smiled slightly, the corners of his mouth curving upwards.
"That's wonderful! As expected of Aunt Yan, she has managed to combine tea and soup. I can't wait to try it." Sure enough, Lu Baozhu praised it highly after hearing it.
"Everyone, let's start eating. Mother is busy in the kitchen. She said she'll come over later and have a drink with everyone. Yan'er, serve Miss Lu a bowl of soup to try." Less than a quarter of an hour later.
Chang Fu has arrived.
He replaced Yan Xia.
Inform everyone to begin the meal.
Only then did everyone start eating.
A maid named Yan'er, at Lu Baozhu's instruction, served some Green Beauty Soup.
I only took one sip.
Lu Baozhu was overjoyed. Her pupils dilated instantly. At that moment, her mouth tasted bitter yet sweet, as if she were taking a sip of summer breeze.
"It's so delicious, wonderful, absolutely wonderful! As expected of Aunt Yan! Here, give me some more of the rice-white Eight-Fly Soup."
There was only enough for three mouthfuls in the bowl.
Lu Baozhu finished the last two mouthfuls with a spoon, put the bowl on the table, and asked Yan'er to serve her another bowl of white soup from the left side of the Tai Chi symbol.
"So fresh, so incredibly fresh!" Lu Baozhu felt like her tongue was about to be overwhelmed by the deliciousness.
This soup was different from the green tea from before; its salty and savory flavor diluted the bitterness of the tea in my mouth.
It felt like I'd drunk a whole pot of rich, simmering pigeon and chicken soup in one go.
No wonder it's called Eight-Fly Soup; it's made with eight kinds of birds, so it must be incredibly delicious!
However, Lu Baozhu's tongue could not discern which of the remaining six birds were which.
Like a mischievous girl searching for treasure, she finished the eight-fly soup in her bowl in one gulp, without even needing the maid's help.
He stood up and ladled out half a bowl of gold, silver and jade soup for himself.
Even the county magistrate's daughter was so distraught, and the others buried their heads in their bowls, drinking non-stop.
When Yan Xia led the maids carrying dishes over.
The banquet was eerily silent.
