Chapter 2: Chicken Soup



Qingsong Welcoming Hall can be reached by entering from the main gate of Qin Mansion, going around the screen wall and passing through the garden.

There are a large number of green pine potted plants placed in the reception hall, and there are relief sculptures of welcoming pines embedded on the walls. It is quite elegant and is specially used by Qin Feng to entertain guests.

When Qin Yuesheng walked into the reception hall from the side door, he saw his father Qin Feng sitting in the main seat and chatting with a little girl in the guest seat. The little girl was no more than ten years old, but she was fair and clean with delicate features, like a white porcelain doll carefully carved by a craftsman.

"Yuesheng, come and sit down." Qin Feng waved at him immediately after seeing Qin Yuesheng.

Qin Yuesheng's father is quite thin and has a kind face. You can tell at first glance that he is a good man. Ever since Qin Yuesheng's mother died after giving birth to him, Qin Yuesheng has always been the only hope in Qin Feng's heart. As long as Qin Yuesheng wants something, Qin Feng will find ways to get it for him and meet all his requirements. It is this unreasonable doting that has turned Qin Yuesheng into a good-for-nothing who only knows how to spend money on wine and women.

"Dad." Qin Yuesheng quickly walked over pretending to be innocent.

In the memories he received, his impression of his fiancée was quite shallow. Apart from the fact that her name was Su Lanyin, she was the third daughter of the Su family, and she would take the initiative to come to the Qin Mansion every month in the past few years to deliver several medicinal meals to Qin Yuesheng, there was nothing else.

"Brother Yuesheng, you're here." The porcelain doll Su Lanyin quickly stood up and called sweetly.

"Uh, hello, hello." Qin Yuesheng nodded repeatedly. It was great to be born in a wealthy family. He didn't even have to take the initiative to look for a wife, he already had one. This was really a great arrangement. It was a pity that the partner seemed a little too young. Qin Yuesheng himself didn't like such young girls. Mature women with curvy figure, long legs and beautiful appearance were his favorites.

"Brother Yuesheng, this is the old hen, wolfberry and ginseng soup I cooked myself. It's very good for your body. You must drink it all." Su Lanyin reached out and picked up a ceramic pot from the small square table next to her, and said very seriously.

There are three famous families and five prestigious families in Qingyang City. The Qin family is one of the famous families, while the Su family where Su Lanyin belongs is slightly inferior and is one of the five prestigious families.

The classification of famous families and prestigious families is not based on assets or anything else. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, only families with officials of the fifth rank or above can be named famous families, and all families that fail to meet this requirement are considered prestigious families.

The Su family, which has established a relationship with Qin Yuesheng, has always been very flattering to him. During every festival, they send him a lot of gifts, and they also ask Su Lanyin to come over every day to ask about his well-being and strengthen their relationship with Qin Yuesheng.

But unfortunately, the original owner was a guy who was addicted to brothels and gambling houses, and had never had much interest in his fiancée Su Lanyin.

Qin Feng said: "Butler."

"Yes." Qin Zheng, the chief steward of the Qin Mansion who was standing behind Qin Feng, immediately stepped forward to take the pottery jar, turned around and walked towards Qin Yuesheng. At this moment when Su Lanyin could not see the movements of his hands, Qin Zheng quickly and covertly took out a silver needle from somewhere and inserted it into the gap of the lid of the pottery jar.

The silver needle was the same as before. He opened his mouth and tasted the chicken soup on the needle. The person was the same as before.

After confirming that the chicken soup in the can was non-toxic, it was handed over to Qin Yuesheng.

Qin Yuesheng was full of admiration watching the whole process. Judging from the smooth operation, Butler Qin must have done this kind of thing many times in his daily life and had become very proficient at it.

"Yuesheng, Lan Yin worked hard to make soup for you and even brought it here personally. It's not easy for this child. Please try it and don't let others down." Qin Feng smiled calmly.

As the only child of the Qin family, Qin Yuesheng naturally needs to be more rigorous in all aspects of his life to prevent accidents. Even though Su Lanyin is the child he arranged for Qin Yuesheng and whom he has watched grow up, he cannot let his guard down.

"Oh, okay." Qin Yuesheng didn't care so much. He directly took the porcelain spoon handed to him by the maid of the Qin Mansion next to him, opened the lid and slowly drank the chicken soup in the pottery pot.

There was golden chicken soup in the ceramic pot, with a whole old hen with its head and butt removed immersed at the bottom of the soup. Red wolfberries and white ginseng were floating up and down in the soup, and it looked quite good.

Since the taste was really good, Qin Yuesheng couldn't help but drink a few more sips, looking like he was enjoying it very much. Seeing him drink it so quickly, Su Lanyin couldn't help but smile even more happily.

"Huh!" At this moment, the super assistant that popped out automatically suddenly attracted Qin Yuesheng's attention. He saw that the almighty essence that was 0 not long ago has now increased to 1 point.

Obviously, this is definitely closely related to the can of nourishing chicken soup that he is drinking now.

Thinking of this, Qin Yuesheng immediately sped up his drinking speed. Under the gaze of everyone, Qin Yuesheng put down the porcelain spoon, raised the pottery pot with both hands, tilted his head back to the chicken soup and drank it all in big gulps.

This made Qin Feng stunned. Son, you have grown up so big, but I have never seen you like this.

Su Lanyin was also a little confused. Is the chicken soup I cooked today really this delicious? In the past, Brother Yuesheng always just drank one or two spoonfuls and that was it.
