At this time, Shui Ling came in with a food box and said with a smile: "Master Jiahuan was afraid that the young lady would be hungry, so he asked me to bring food."
After that, she called Xiaoyue again, "Sister Xiaoyue, come and eat too. I'll take your share."
Xiaoyue was a little surprised, she didn't expect the Li family to be so thoughtful.
They were afraid that they would make a fool of themselves on the road, so they didn't eat or drink last night, and now they were almost hungry and dizzy.
Huiniang helped and quickly put out the food. Wenjuan wanted to greet Huiniang, but Huiniang refused to eat, but Jiayin sat down to accompany her sister-in-law to eat deliciously...
In the yard outside, the banquet was very lively.
Jia Huan, the groom's official, could not avoid being drunk. Fortunately, Jia Ren, Jia Yi and Liu Yang were helpers and stopped him a lot.
Guo Wenhao sat at the same table with Zhi Min and Xiu Jie from the Liu family. He was a little taller, but he still looked quiet and shy.
At this moment, he was eating while looking outside. It wasn't until Jiayin came running over with his swollen belly that he smiled.
Jiayin saw that his skin was pale and it seemed like he could see blue blood vessels, so she took chopsticks to pick up food for him, "You need to eat more, you can grow strong only when you are full."
Guo Wenhao smiled and whispered back: "The doctor said I'm not sick, I'm just too thin..."
Jiayin nodded and said solemnly: "Then you will always bask in the sun and learn Baduanjin and the like, so you won't be so thin."
Guo Wenhao heard the seriousness and kept nodding. , and finally took out a small wooden monkey from his arms and handed it to Jiayin, "This is for you. Our old uncle in the village made it. I have many, let me share one with you."
Jiayin didn't take it seriously and answered. He came over to play for a while and then asked: "Who did you come with? I will pack some delicious fruits for you to take back and eat slowly."
Guo Wenhao thanked him and smiled with his little white teeth, which was more lively than just now . too much.
Zhimin and Xiu Jiezi were eavesdropping and eating. They always felt that there was too much vinegar in the cold dishes, which was so sour!
Xiujie was younger, so he shouted: "Sister Fu Niu'er, I want to eat the fruit too!"
Fu Niu'er gave him a look, "You were lying on the bed with my brothers last night, and you were secretly eating the fruit." As for the fruits, don't think I don't know! Humph, you're eating them behind my back!"
Xiu Jie giggled and defended, "Your fruits are delicious, it's not enough if I eat a few more!"
"Okay, I'll go find them later. Uncle Liu wants fruit money!"
The good news was so smooth that Xiu Jie was so frightened that he quickly begged for mercy, "Let my dad know that it's time to deduct my pocket money again. My dear sister, please spare my brother this time, and I will come back to buy you some. Preserved fruits!"
"Okay!" Jiayin raised her chin proudly, "When you go home, I'll bring you some fruits too!"
"Oh, thank you sister! I knew my sister was the best!" Xiu Jie With a smile on her face, she quickly picked up the meatballs and put them in Jiayin's bowl. "Sister, try it. My aunt's cooking is the best. I have never eaten such delicious meatballs!"
Jiayin rubbed her belly and ate the meatballs reluctantly. Then like me like crazy.
For the first happy event in her family, Tao Hongying prepared for half a month.
Needless to say, the food was praised by everyone. Even Mrs. Liu ordered a table of private dishes to entertain several of his old friends, and even asked for orchids by name.
Of course, Li Zhensheng agreed. Today, Baihuaxiang's private dishes are only respected among wealthy businessmen.
Mr. Liu is also leading the way for the Li family's private kitchen to be promoted to the literati circle.
When night fell, the guests had eaten and drank enough and left one after another. Guo Wenhao got on the carriage and hugged a basket of fruits given by Jiayin. The smile on his face never stopped...
The city gate was locked, so Mr. Liu and Liu Zhiheng also stayed at Cui's house.
Mr. Wen also arrived at Cui's house on the pretext of drinking sober tea with the old man, but no one knew what the old man and the young man were talking about.
The women in the village were never lazy when working for the Li family. In the huge yard, in just half an hour, the tables, chairs, and benches were tidied up, and the pots, pans, and articles were scrubbed clean.
Because she has many grandchildren at home and likes to entertain guests, Mrs. Li spent a sum of money to customize 200 sets of bowls, plates, chopsticks, round tables and long stools.
On weekdays, these things are kept in an empty room in the school. No matter it is the Li family or any other family in the village who has something to do and has a banquet, they can go and get it.
At this time, the old and young men helped deliver the tables, chairs, basins and bowls, and then they all went home.
The courtyard of the Li family finally became quiet. Mrs. Li went over to see her grandson's daughter-in-law and saw that she had finished her meal. Then she chased away her smiling grandsons and closed the door tightly...
Three days before the bride came to the door . , according to the rules, you have to wash your hands and make soup.
But Wenjuan's craftsmanship was average, and the Li family's kitchen was different from the one at home. It was a bit confusing to prepare meals for more than 20 people at once.
When Tao Hongying saw her, she made her responsible for cooking millet porridge, while Grandma He and Shui Yun helped with the rest of the work.
Wenjuan was moved and embarrassed at the same time, and secretly made up her mind to learn more in the future.
At the dinner table, the old lady heard that her granddaughter-in-law had cooked millet porridge, and praised it for being fragrant and sticky, which made Wenjuan's face turn redder.
After breakfast and tea, everyone sat together and talked lively, and then the Liu family returned to the city.
Before getting into the car, Mr. Liu chatted with Li Zhensheng and said, "The incident involving the third child of the Wang family has caused quite a big fuss. Everyone in the family has some sympathy when talking about it. You should be more cautious and prudent in your actions.
"And the Wang family's The boss and the second child are coming back. Forget the second child, it's just mediocre, but the boss's scheming and methods are not bad, so you should be more careful. Li
Zhensheng smiled, raised his hands and saluted, "Thank you, Uncle Liu, for your concern. Our family has never caused trouble and is not afraid of trouble." The Wang family has plotted against us again and again, and even wants to hold our Li family in their hands and shake the foundation of Jintan.
"If our Li family doesn't repay a little bit, I'm afraid outsiders will think that the Li family is easy to bully, and they will look for opportunities to pounce on us and take a few bites. I would rather let outsiders be afraid of the Li family than let everyone dare to bully the Li family. Yes!"
Mr. Liu nodded. Not only was he not angry because of Li Zhensheng's rebuttal, but he was more appreciative. "It's a pity that your father passed away early. Otherwise, I really want to learn from him about how he taught such an outstanding child. You guys. The four brothers are all good!
"As long as we remain united and act in a measured manner, why worry about the Li family not becoming more prosperous? ! "
Uncle Liu was so complimentary. In fact, we brothers just suffered too many losses and fell too many, and we gradually grew up." "
Li Zhensheng's words were not self-effacing or polite. None of the four brothers grew up in a honey pot. They have been exposed to wind and rain a lot, so they naturally became more resilient.
After seeing off a few of the Liu family, after a while, Mr. Wen was also going back to the city.
There was nothing to do at home, and there was another court meeting tomorrow, so Li Laoer simply got into the carriage with Mr. Wen.
The two of them visited calligraphy and painting shops, bought a few new books, and then returned to the small town. Courtyard.
Early the next morning, he got up before dawn and went out as usual. Standing in the court hall, Li Laoer was still secretly yawning.
After finally making it to the next court, the others became energetic and followed the others outside.
As a result, as soon as he left the palace gate, he was stopped by someone before he could find his carriage...
