Chapter 210 Check the Background
The Li family went to a table at the back and sat down.
Xie Yan took Li Wanyue to Shen Xiuwen and said, "Uncle, didn't you ask me who that expert was? It's this girl, Li Wanyue."
Then he added: "Wanyue, these are my three uncles."
Li Wanyue bowed and said, "I, the humble girl Li Wanyue, greet the three adults."
The three masters of the Shen family were stunned for a moment in disbelief, and Shen Xiuwen asked: "You said that the embankment was her idea?"
"right."
"Then the waterwheel and thresher you reported about are all these novelties..."
"She did everything, including growing sweet potatoes and yams. She also taught me how to grow them. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to grow them so quickly."
Several people were so shocked that they were speechless.
What kind of amazing person is this? The key is that she is such a young girl.
Shen Xiuwen praised: "Miss Li is knowledgeable and talented, I admire her."
"Mr. Shen, you are too kind."
Seeing her graceful and elegant manner, Shen Xiuwen and others were even more impressed.
Shen Yu also told his mother and two aunts that the table soaps and other items were also invented by Li Wanyue.
Several ladies also came forward to chat with Li Wanyue.
Everyone at the table was having a great time chatting.
Su Yuyan also noticed that Xie Yan had special feelings for this peasant girl.
Shen Jinyu naturally saw it as well, and thought that the girl mentioned in the letter was this one.
She was not pretty and her clothes were very shabby. Well, peasant girls were not allowed to wear silk and brocade.
I don’t know what Yan’er likes about this person.
In her opinion, this person cannot be compared with Su Yuyan at all.
She picked up a piece of dessert and put it on the plate in front of Su Yuyan: "Yuyan, try this dessert. This is what A Yan bought from a pastry shop called Zhiweizhai this morning. It tastes very good. Try it."
"Thank you, auntie."
"You don't have to take that person to heart. That woman is just a peasant girl. Who knows what method she used to attract Yan'er's attention. You have the heritage of the Su family and are a noble lady from an aristocratic family. She can't compare to you."
Su Yuyan gave a perfunctory smile. She would not compare herself with a village woman. If Xie Yan really liked such a person, it meant that his vision was just like that and he was not worthy of her.
When the banquet began, Li Wanyue left the Shen family's seat and sat with Qin Yuzhen.
Shen Jinyu walked to Xie Yan's side and said in a neither-too-loud nor-soft voice: "Yan'er, come sit over here. It's a family dinner anyway, so there's no need to be too formal. You and Yuyan haven't seen each other for a long time, and you have similar interests. It just so happens that Yuyan just got a new piano score, so you two can discuss it."
Xie Yan frowned slightly and replied calmly: "No, my uncle and I have something to talk about. Let's sit with them."
"If you have anything to say, you can say it after the banquet. Is it necessary to say it now?"
"Mother." Xie Yan had no expression on his face, but his voice was inexplicably frightening.
He continued, "The banquet has begun, mother, please take a seat."
After saying that, he turned and went to Shen Xiuwen's table.
Shen Jinyu was angry, and Su Yuyan and Xie Shuyan immediately stepped forward to coax her, and then returned to her seat.
Old Mrs. Shen shook her head in disappointment. This daughter was going to push the mother-son relationship between her and A'Yan further and further away.
It seems that this family should not come to my birthday in the future.
Li Wanyue took a look and sighed. Generally, mothers are more soft-hearted and will favor their own children.
Xie Yan is so miserable. His father doesn't love him and his mother doesn't care about him, but they still want to control him.
Shen Yu invited someone to perform crosstalk, and everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
After dinner, Xie Yan asked Qingfeng to bring the cake over.
There was ice in the box and the weather was cool, so the cream didn't melt.
Shen Yu said: "Grandma, this is the birthday cake that Wanyue made especially for you."
Li Wanyue did not light candles because she was afraid that people at that time would not be willing to blow out candles on their birthdays.
Old Mrs. Shen looked at the novel and unique cake and praised Li Wanyue happily.
Then cut it into small pieces with a knife and share it with everyone.
Shen Yu had wanted to try it for a long time, so he picked up a portion and started eating.
It is cool and soft in the mouth, and the soft cake is mixed with the aroma of milk and the sweetness of fruit.
This is the first time I have tasted this flavor.
Others also sighed.
Shen Jinyu didn't eat it. There were all kinds of good things in Beijing. It was just a piece of broken cake. These people were making a fuss out of nothing.
Xie Shuyan also took a bite and her eyes lit up instantly.
She had eaten cakes from all kinds of pastry shops in Beijing, except for those from the imperial kitchen, but she had never eaten any pastry that tasted so special.
Madam Shen walked up to Li Wanyue and asked, "Wanyue, this cake you made tastes really good. I want to ask you, are you willing to share the recipe?"
Shen Yu came over and said, "Mother, our cooperation method is not a buyout, but a profit sharing."
"Share?"
"Yes, I think this will be very popular. If you want the recipe, give 20% of the profit from this cake to Wanyue."
Li Wanyue tugged at Shen Yu's sleeve. The Shen family was kind and they might be a family in the future. But he was too rule-abiding and it seemed like she was obsessed with money.
Unexpectedly, Madam Shen agreed directly: "Sure, isn't 20% too little? How about 30%?"
Madam Shen just listened to what Shen Xiuwen said, and she also knew how powerful Li Wanyue was.
All the new and interesting things that my kid made were this girl’s ideas.
Although the girl did it to make money, the Shen family actually gained a lot of benefits and made a lot of money.
The circle of friends you make has been elevated to a higher level.
Both the master and A Yu benefited from this, and she was grateful.
So 20% is really not a lot for her.
What’s more, this dessert is really special.
Li Wanyue guessed her thoughts and nodded with a smile: "Thank you, Madam."
Mrs. Shen smiled gently.
After the banquet, everyone left one after another, and Li Wanyue's family also left.
Shen Xiuwen also saw that the old couple were unhappy. He walked in front of Old Lady Shen and said, "Mother, you know my sister's temper. Don't take it to heart. I'll talk to her later."
Old Lady Shen waved her hands: "That's just her temper. We haven't seen each other for so long, but she doesn't want to ease the relationship, and she comes here to interfere in A-Yan's affairs. If she wants to interfere, she should wait until the relationship is eased and ask about the situation clearly. But she is so..."
"Don't be angry, mother. I'll go and talk to her. You're tired too. Go and rest first."
Old Madam Shen was helped back to the yard by the nanny.
Shen Jinyu and Xie Zhenghuai returned to their own yard.
Shen Jinyu said, "Master, that Li Wanyue is the one Yan'er wanted to propose to."
"I see. I'll have someone check out this family's background."
"I don't think it's necessary to check. Just refuse directly."
Xie Zhenghuai shook his head: "Yan'er already has grievances against us, and he is still hot-blooded. We must let Yan'er know why we disagree, otherwise, he will hate us."
He also thought it through. Although Xie Yan was only a minor official now, he was a descendant of the Xie family after all. The Shen family was now in its heyday, and Xie Yan had made a name for himself in front of the emperor. He would surely make great achievements in the future.
He can't push people away.
Send two people out to get information.
