Su Wenyue felt a little strange when she saw Yin Lihua's eyes fall on her two cousins, mainly because of Su Lanfang's reaction. In her previous life, Su Lanfang made a living under Yin Lihua. Although her son was raised, she was definitely living a stable life by being humble. Now, although her cousin was still young, she looked at the young lady of the Yin family with grace and elegance, and had the demeanor of a young lady from a marquis's mansion. Although her appearance was a little worse, she was not bad in other aspects. Moreover, Su Wenyue felt that the little cousin had a broader mind.

"Cousin, what are you thinking about?" Lan Fang asked when she saw Su Wenyue seemed absent-minded.

"No, I think the young lady of the Yin family is pretty, but she seems to be cunning and difficult to deal with. You should be careful when dealing with her in the future." Su Wenyue said.

"You're overthinking, cousin. Miss Yin and we don't have much interaction. At most we meet at banquets, but we don't interact much." Su Lanxin said after hearing what Su Wenyue said. Su Lanfang also felt the same way. Su Wenyue was a little speechless. She was the only one who knew about things in her previous life, so naturally they didn't have much interaction now.

"That's true, but you never know what's going on in this world. When will you have time to come over to my place and visit? Anyway, we're close now, so you can stay for a while. If it's inconvenient for you, I'll go and talk to my aunt in person, and she won't object." Some things are hard to talk about, so Su Wenyue quickly changed the subject.

Su Wenyue didn't notice anything different about Liu Yuan, but Deng Chen went out of his way to find Han Yu in the study.

"Xiuqi, I'm in trouble this time and I need your help." Deng Chen thought about it and felt that Han Yu was the most reliable. This matter was extraordinary and would involve the entire Deng family. Not to mention whether others dared to get involved, whether they had the ability to do so was also a question. Only Han Yu was the most suitable person. Even Shangguan Wuyou, with whom Deng Chen had a good personal relationship, was not considered. After all, the interests of the Deng family and the Shangguan family were different.

"There's no need for us to exchange these polite words. Brother Deng, if you need any help, just let me know." Han Yu had already guessed in his heart that in Yiyang Prefecture, the only thing Deng Chen needed his help with was probably his matter.

"I won't hide anything about our brothers. My third uncle was hunted by Prime Minister Wang's men and is now seriously injured. He needs to be arranged to recuperate as soon as possible. However, everyone knows that my Deng family and Liu family are relatives. I'm afraid someone has been watching our Deng family's every move for a long time, so I came to you, Xiuqi, for help."

Han Yu was very sure of this. Apart from the matter of Liu Xiu, Deng Chen's power in Yiyang Prefecture did not need to be sought from him, unless he did not want to alarm the Deng family, or the Deng family was also under someone else's surveillance.

"Brother Deng, do you want me to help you arrange your third uncle's affairs?" This was not a difficult task for Yu Hanyu. After many twists and turns, the matter finally came to him.

"I'm sure you're aware of the risks and interests involved. I'm also at my wits' end. Given the relationship between the Deng and Liu families, there must be a lot of people watching me. If I make a move, they'll notice it immediately. That's why I have no choice but to turn to you for help. You're the only one I trust the most." After Deng Chen finished speaking, he saw that Han Yu was still calm and didn't seem surprised or nervous. He felt that it was right to ask Han Yu for help with this matter.

"Don't mention that Brother Deng has helped me so much. Just based on our friendship, there is no need to say such unorthodox words. Your business is my business. Leave this matter to me."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Deng Chen really admired Han Yu now. Such courage and calmness, even the two **** were worried about this matter. Seeing Han Yu so relaxed and not taking it seriously at all, Deng Chen felt that his training was not enough. This is what it takes to do real big things.

Because the matter was rather urgent, Han Yu escorted Su Wenyue back after attending the banquet and left in a hurry. Su Wenyue also became busy at this time. Their family had to attend the banquet before the New Year. They invited some acquaintances and friends Han Yu had made during this period. The banquet was scheduled for the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and there was only one day left. This was the first formal banquet for their family since they came to the provincial capital. No matter what the reason was, Su Wenyue had to prepare well and not allow any mistakes, otherwise she would definitely be laughed at.

This is how people think. If something went wrong in an ordinary family's house, it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, no matter who is in charge of all the things in the house, it is impossible to be foolproof. But Su Wenyue and the others came from the countryside, and Han Yu was promoted several levels in a row. People originally thought that he got promoted by taking shortcuts and flattering, so they looked down on him. If there was any mistake, someone would make a fuss about it, and even use this to belittle Han Yu. Su Wenyue could not allow this.

For this banquet, Su Wenyue started preparing several main dishes more than a week in advance. A good dish not only requires particular attention to ingredients, but the farm also specially left a crop of vegetables just for this banquet.

"Wife, thank you for your hard work." When Han Yu came back, he saw that his wife was still busy and felt a little distressed. However, this banquet was indeed very important, and he would only feel at ease if his wife prepared it personally.

Su Wenyue smiled and said, "This is my job, and I've almost finished preparing for it. Don't worry, everything has been arranged properly, and I won't embarrass you."

Although Su Wenyue had no experience in arranging the banquet, with Nanny Li and Nanny Chen helping her, there would be no mistakes in etiquette. As for the food at the banquet, Su Wenyue dared to say that their family's banquet would be the best in the city. They prepared several kinds of fresh vegetables alone, as well as fruits and the like, which were rare to eat in the winter. Some people had never eaten the food from foreign vassal states. The key was that their cook's cooking skills were trained by her, so they would definitely not be bad. With her helping in the preparation, even if they couldn't make the same taste as hers, it would be 70% or 80% as good.

What Su Wenyue is worried about now is another thing, that is, how to arrange the people from her husband's family. This is really a difficult problem. It is not right to let them participate, and it is not right not to let them participate.

If she didn't attend, everyone in the know would know that they had invited people from their hometown to celebrate the New Year. To put it mildly, it was a lack of etiquette, and to put it more seriously, it was unfilial. How could she not let them attend when her father-in-law and mother-in-law were at home? Let them attend. It wasn't that she looked down on her father-in-law and mother-in-law, but her father-in-law and mother-in-law had never seen such a big scene before, and they would definitely not be able to handle it. If something happened, it would be even more ridiculous. This was their family's first banquet, and they couldn't waste it.
