"Aunt, it's not like that. I really like Mr. Han, and I will be filial to you in the future. Don't be fooled by Song Yanran."
Miss Li Er now realized that the lady in front of her was Han Xu's mother, but seeing her protecting Song Yanran, she felt that Song Yanran must have done something.
"I can see it with my own eyes, Miss Li, please go back. You are not welcome here." Madam Han became unhappy when she heard Li Ruyi say bad things about Song Yanran.
"I don't want it. Why can she stay here? I won't leave. Mr. Han hasn't agreed to me yet." Li Ruyi pointed at Song Yanran beside Madam Han and said unwillingly.
Madam Han was so angry that she laughed. Not to mention that Han Xu didn't agree, even if Han Xu agreed, she would dare to break her son's legs so that he couldn't go on the road.
When the few people were in a stalemate, the eldest son of the Li family came with his men, apologized to Han Xu and Han Niangzi, and then, regardless of Li Ruyi's objections, simply blocked their mouth and took them away.
God knows how surprised the Li family was when they received the message from the Third Master Wen. Their second sister had been much more well-behaved recently, and the family thought that she had stopped making trouble and was waiting to get married. They never expected that she would sneak out today and be bumped into by the Third Master Wen.
His father fainted from anger on the spot, and he had to come and clean up the mess himself. No matter what, he had to bring the second sister home first, otherwise it would not be just Master Han who would be embarrassed.
Li Ruyi was taken away, and Young Master Li promised that he would never let his sister cause trouble for Han Xu again. Although Han Xu was angry, it was not Young Master Han's fault, so he could not blame him.
The gate was closed again, and the courtyard returned to its tranquility. Seeing that everyone was in low spirits, Murong Shu wanted to say goodbye and leave and make an appointment next time, but Madam Han refused.
"Ms. Mu, Miss Song, we finally have the opportunity to get together. Today is a blessing in disguise. Let's celebrate for Xu'er. You must stay and have dinner before leaving."
Seeing that Madam Han really wanted to keep them, and her expression was more relaxed than ever, Murong Shu knew that she was really happy for Han Xu. He glanced at Wen Jing and Song Yanran, and then they all nodded together.
"Then we'll have to trouble Madam Han. Let's go and help together." The atmosphere in the courtyard returned to normal, as if the farce just now had never happened.
Wen Jing looked at the questions Han Xu had recorded, thought about it for a while and then started discussing with Han Xu. Maybe they were chatting too speculatively, Wen Jing also told Han Xu some things in the examination room. Han Xu wrote them down one by one and felt even more grateful to Wen Jing.
Before the two of them finished their discussion, Song Yanran came to announce that it was time for dinner. As the weather was nice, they set up lunch in the yard. The whole yard was filled with the fragrance of osmanthus, which was very pleasant.
Han Xu felt a little embarrassed. He was so engrossed in the discussion with Wen Jing that he forgot to help his mother and hurried to the kitchen to serve the dishes.
"Thank you for your hard work, mother. It's all Xu'er's fault. I was so engrossed in chatting with Brother Wen that I forgot to come in to help." As soon as he entered the kitchen, Han Xu apologized to Mrs. Han.
"Why are you being so polite to mother? Thanks to the help of Miss Mu and Miss Song, mother has made some new dishes. Let's try them later." When Mrs. Han thought of the novel cooking methods that Murong Shu had given her, she couldn't wait to share them with her son.
"The food my mother cooks is always delicious." In Han Xu's heart, the food his mother cooks is the best. He has not eaten it since he came to the capital and misses it very much.
"Madam Han, Mr. Han, please come quickly. I can't help but eat these dishes." Song Yanran had been hungry since Murong Shu was teaching Madam Han how to cook in the kitchen. Finally, when the dishes were ready, Madam Han and Han Xu had not yet come to the table.
"Hey, here we are. Miss Song, you must be hungry. Eat more and try my cooking." Madam Han wanted to laugh when she thought of Song Yanran drooling with greed.
"No need to taste it, it looks delicious." Song Yanran felt that it was delicious in color, aroma and taste.
"Let's eat. Pick up whatever you want. Except for the braised pork, the rest of the dishes are recipes provided by Miss Mu. I tried to make them. Everyone, please try them. I couldn't help myself when I was making them."
Madam Han was surprised to find that the dishes tasted even better when cooked according to the steps Murong Shu told her. She now admired Murong Shu very much. She didn't expect that Miss Mu was such a good cook.
"I was just thinking about it when I was bored, but Madam Han's cooking skills are good. She succeeded in one try. Come and have a try, everyone." Although Murong Shu herself doesn't like to cook, she has a lot of recipes.
Wen Jing picked up a piece of the sweet and sour spare ribs that looked delicious and put it in his mouth. The rich sour and sweet taste wrapped around the crispy spare ribs was so appetizing that he couldn't stop eating it. Wen Jing, who had never been a big fan of food, couldn't help but pick up a second piece.
Song Yanran also likes this sweet and sour pork ribs very much. When Han Niangzi made it, she was attracted by the sweet and sour taste. She didn't expect it to be so delicious.
"Shu'er, your recipe is amazing. It turns out that spare ribs and sugar can be so delicious together!" Song Yanran didn't know why Murong Shu had so many magical ideas in his little head. Whether it was barbecue, hot pot, sour plum soup, or sweet and sour spare ribs, they were all delicious.
"Cousin, don't just praise this dish, try the others too. You might be even more surprised." Seeing that several people liked it, Murong Shu suggested that they try the others.
Last time she attended the banquet, she remembered that Song Yanran liked Sichuan cuisine very much, and pointed to the boiled pork slices and said, "Cousin, try this."
Song Yanran picked up a piece of boiled pork and was pleasantly surprised. The meat was very smooth and tender, soft and delicious when bitten, and the spicy taste lingered in her mouth.
"Shu'er, this taste is really amazing, so... cough cough cough... cough cough..." Song Yanran choked before she could finish her words, and then started coughing.
"Cousin, stop talking and drink some warm water." Murong Shu used to choke easily when eating this dish, so he understood Song Yanran's feelings at the moment.
Murong Shu was just about to pour a glass of warm water for Song Yanran when he saw Han Xu had already handed a glass of warm water to his cousin. Song Yanran was choking and felt uncomfortable, so she took the water and drank it directly. Only then did she feel much better.
Later, when she felt she had had enough, she continued eating. The taste was so addictive that she couldn't stop. Song Yanran was eating happily and missed Han Xu's gaze that was always on her and his gesture of being ready to pour her water at any time.
So everyone enjoyed the meal very much. Although the other dishes were delicious, the braised pork made by Madam Han was finally finished by Han Xu. Song Yanran was stunned. This Master Han ate so much.
"Shu'er, your menu is so amazing, why not open a restaurant and guarantee a full house of guests." Song Yanran really said with emotion. She never expected Murong Shu to respond to her.
"It's not impossible." Murong Shu said lazily.
"Ah, Shu'er, are you really planning to open a restaurant?" This time it was Song Yanran's turn to be surprised, and the others all looked at Murong Shu.
