Zhou Chenyu thought something strange had happened in the kitchen again, and instantly switched back to her professional elite persona. But when she saw Chen Tongsheng and Zhou Baoyu's smiling faces, she said irritably, "I thought they were calling me back to work again. I was so scared."
Seeing his sister looking listless, Baoyu quickly came over and massaged her shoulders, saying, "Sister, you've had a hard time these past few days."
Zhou Chenyu pouted, "The right side."
Baoyu quickly obeyed the order and changed his position.
Seeing the siblings like this, Chen Tongsheng smiled and said, "You've been stuck in the kitchen these past few days and haven't seen what a banquet is like, have you? That kind of event is much bigger than the banquets we have in the countryside. Come on, I'll take you to see it."
What's so interesting about this?
Zhou Chenyu rolled her eyes from exhaustion, only to see Baoyu looking excited. "Sister, shall we go take a look?"
With Baoyu in such high spirits and Chen Tongsheng leading the way, Zhou Chenyu followed. They passed the pavilion and lake from that day, entered the inner courtyard through a side gate, and saw groups of guests strolling around behind a wall. There were also many snacks and teas on the table.
Chen Tongsheng found a window and said, “Today’s banquet is attended not only by businessmen, but also by many famous officials. If you miss this opportunity, you may not have another chance to see them.”
What's the point of glancing at a celebrity if it won't help them get promoted or make a fortune?
Zhou Chenyu yawned, crossed her arms, and leaned lazily against the window. Baoyu opened her eyes wide and peered inside. When she saw the man sitting directly in front of her, her curious face immediately lit up with excitement. She grabbed Zhou Chenyu's arm and exclaimed, "Sister, look! Sister, look who that is!"
Chen Tongsheng looked surprised. Zhou Chenyu's ears were ringing from Baoyu's noise, so she reluctantly put her head to the window. Yang Xi's long-unseen face came into her view, and a woman was sitting next to him. The woman seemed to be Tang Qingyu.
Zhou Chenyu reluctantly withdrew her gaze. Ever since the last incident, her interest had been completely dampened. Perhaps a bed in front of her would excite her more than seeing him. "Yes, I see it."
"Sister, are you exhausted?" Baoyu frowned. "That's Yang Ban Tou. Didn't you try to talk to him and get close to him several times before?"
Chen Tongsheng belatedly realized and said in surprise, "Little sister, so the person you admire is Headmaster Yang?"
Heartfelt joy?
What kind of affection is that?
She was clearly looking for a powerful backer to protect herself from the ruthless criminal gang with its vast wealth!
Although he suffered a crushing defeat... "Heh...heh..." Zhou Chenyu's laughter was more like a grimace. While eating, he cursed and insulted a bunch of people in his mind. However, after cursing, he still obediently went to wash up and went to bed early to rest.
The kitchen was exactly the same as the first day on the second day. The people preparing, cooking, and serving the food were in complete chaos, like a refugee fleeing a disaster. It was nothing like the orderly scene she had imagined.
That's all a lie!
As Zhou Chenyu listened to the commotion, the already sweltering stove fire made him irritable, and the sharp noises made his heart pound wildly, almost triggering his bipolar disorder.
With a few taels of silver hanging in the air, Zhou Chenyu worked tirelessly like a stupid donkey eager for food next to a graphite stone. He managed to hold out until the afternoon of the third day of the housewarming banquet, when the number of guests had decreased and the chaotic kitchen finally came to a stop.
Annoyed by the noise, Zhou Chenyu found a quiet corner to be alone. All around were high walls, and when she looked up, she could only see a patch of blue sky, which was far less open than what she had seen in Zhoujia Village.
"How did these young ladies in ancient times, who never left their homes and were confined to their cages like birds for their entire lives, manage to survive?" Zhou Chenyu gasped for breath, leaning her head against a pillar in a daze, when suddenly someone poked her on the shoulder.
Zhou Chenyu didn't want to portray herself as a cunning villain, so she lowered her stance and revealed a hint of sadness and regret in her eyes. "The person sitting next to her is Miss Tang. What do I have to compare with her? A brave and fierce constable and a gentle and virtuous young lady. How well-matched they are! They are a match made in heaven."
Baoyu was anxious to see his sister in distress. "Sister, Yang Bantou isn't that kind of person!"
Zhou Chenyu asked in surprise, "Oh, when did you start speaking up for him like this?"
Baoyu hesitated, then stopped, "I..."
Chen Tongsheng arrived in a hurry, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, "Little sister, although I know that Miss Tang is of marriageable age, no one has said that she and Yang Bantou are a couple?"
Yeah?
Zhou Chenyu raised an eyebrow. Oh well, she wasn't a matchmaker, so why should she care if they were a couple or not?
"Little sister, in my opinion, your quirky and clever nature is a perfect match for Chief Yang," Chen Tongsheng said with a smile, taking a sip of tea.
match?
That's a perfect match!
With his explosive temper, anyone who spends their life with him will develop several more lumps on their body.
Zhou Chenyu looked at Chen Tongsheng with a sly smile, "Brother, you have such a good eye for people and such a wide network of connections, why don't you help me find some other talented young men? I don't have high requirements, as long as they are as tall as him and have such a strong yang energy, I can consider them."
Upon hearing this, Chen Tongsheng spat out a mouthful of hot tea, which sprayed all over Zhou Chenyu.
Zhou Chenyu covered her tea-stained face and let out a desperate wail!
When she screamed, Yang Xi was chatting with Feng Chuli and Tang Qingyu. Hearing the scream from afar, his expression immediately tightened, and he frowned as he looked in that direction.
Tang Qingyu's eyes were filled with laughter. "Brother Yang Xi, what's wrong?"
Yang Xi stared in the direction from which the screams came. "Did you hear anything just now?"
Knowing that he was always vigilant, Feng Chuli immediately sent someone to check and then laughed, "Look, a few days ago I said you treated the government office like your home. Now look at how cautious you are, you don't even relax for a moment when attending the housewarming banquet. I think you should really move your bed to the government office."
"What kind of place is the government office? How can it be a place to run the household?" Yang Xi sat down, lifting his robe, while Feng Chuli chuckled incessantly.
Seeing her two elder brothers smiling, Tang Qingyu took out a dagger hidden in her sleeve and struck a martial arts fist pose: "Brother Yang Xi, I practice the self-defense moves you taught me every day. Knowing you were coming today, I specially wore these light clothes. How about I perform a few moves to liven things up for you?"
Feng Chuli looked at Yang Xi with dissatisfaction, "Ever since you gave Qingyu this dagger, this girl has been bewitched. A proper young lady from a respectable family is turning into a fierce female fighter."
Yang Xi privately thought it was fine for girls to become a little fierce. He shook his head and said, "When you encounter bad guys, do they care whether you are a lady from a respectable family or a tough woman? It's good for girls to have an extra skill to protect themselves."
Tang Qingyu twirled her sword beautifully, "Qingyu thinks so too."
Yang Xi watched Tang Qingyu's every move. Although her strength was not as great as a man's, it was still quite impressive. With more practice over time, it would be enough to intimidate some bad guys.
He smiled with satisfaction. "Qingyu, you've done a good job."
