Shen Teng was frightened by her sudden bold statement. He swallowed silently: "It's not that I don't like you..."

After saying that, he felt it was inappropriate, and quickly changed his words: "That's not what I meant... You and I have known each other since we were young, and you know what kind of person I am. We can't possibly have that kind of relationship."

After saying this, Shen Teng dropped his shoulders in frustration: "Qin Jingzhi, you don't like me either, right? Why don't you tell your family so that you don't have to be embarrassed."

Qin Jingzhi smiled: "Who said I was embarrassed? Women have to get married after all. It doesn't matter whether they like each other or not. Marrying you is the same as marrying someone else."

"Hey, you're still as annoying as ever."

Qin Jingzhi still looked calm: "If you really don't want to marry me, then go and tell my family. I'm going to marry you anyway."

Qin Jingzhi is different from other women. She seems to have no desires, but also seems to have a very clear understanding of love.

Only she herself understood that the wealth and splendor she was born with came at a price, and that was a life as short as a canary.

"Qin Jingzhi, you are just as annoying as you were when you were little, really. You are more mature than my grandmother. Someone like you is a perfect match for a nerd."

Qin Jingzhi laughed when he heard his complaints: "You are not a nerd!"

Shen Teng: “…”

Although Madam Shen did not plan to hold a big wedding, people still came to give gifts one after another. Shen Teng rejected these people on the pretext that the old lady was ill.

When Old Madam Shen found out, she was very pleased: "It's just a birthday, there's no need to mobilize so many people. I feel extremely happy to have my grandson by my side."

Qin Jingzhi and Shen Teng strolled around the small garden, then ran back to stay with Old Madam Shen, listening to opera and talking with her.

Outside the Shen residence, several horses came galloping. When they reached the door, Shen Zhimu jumped off the horse swiftly.

The housekeeper had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw his master coming, he hurried forward and said, "The young master is accompanying the old lady to watch the opera. Miss Qin is also here."

Shen Zhimu walked quickly towards Old Madam Shen's place, and did not forget to arrange for the housekeeper: "Is the birthday gift I asked you to prepare ready?"

"It has been prepared for a long time."

Seeing Shen Zhimu coming, Shen Teng stood up and hid behind the old lady. Old Lady Shen was puzzled at first why Jin Sun acted like this, but the next second she understood everything when she saw her son.

She snorted in displeasure: "Who was it I thought it was? It turned out to be the master of the Shen family."

Shen Zhimu looked embarrassed: "Mom, what are you talking about?"

"What are you talking about? You know what you did."

"Did this kid come to you to complain? He still has the nerve to complain. What kind of books have he read? He's lucky that I didn't beat him to death."

Shen Zhimu had no idea what to do with his only son. Especially with his mother's protection, this kid was fearless. If Shen Zhimu was not strict with him, he would be afraid of no one.

"Grandma, listen to me, he wants to beat me to death. He actually wants to beat me to death. I am his biological son, your biological grandson."

Seeing Shen Teng using the same old trick again, Shen Zhimu was so angry that he wanted to attack again: "You little bastard, you dare to talk nonsense, I will teach you a lesson today."

"Oh, oh, that's enough, that's enough."

Seeing her son about to fight again, Old Lady Shen slammed the table in anger: "Can't you two just be quiet for a while?"

Shen Teng pursed his lips in grievance: "He was the one who wanted to do it."

Shen Zhimu glared at his son fiercely: "Just wait for me."

Shen Teng has disliked studying since he was young, but Shen Zhimu still wanted Shen Teng to pass the imperial examination. The father and son had many quarrels over the issue of studying.

This time, Shen Teng traveled thousands of miles back to his hometown because he failed the exam again. He was afraid of being scolded by Shen Zhimu, so he ran to Old Madam Shen to seek shelter.

Old Madam Shen glared at her son, indicating that he was not being honest, and drove him out: "There are not so many towering trees in this world. He is just not good at studying, not a heinous criminal. Why do you have to force him? Besides, you are not good at studying yourself, but you force your son to study. How can you be so unreasonable?"

Being exposed by his mother on the spot, Shen Zhimu blushed: "Mom, why are you saying this in front of my son?"

"What's there to say? If you were really good at studying, you wouldn't be just a boss now."

"Oh, mother..."

"Okay, okay, let's stop talking. It's rare that all of our family members are here today, so let's have a good meal together."

She enjoyed the bowl of longevity noodles this morning so much that she couldn't help but look forward to the lunch.

Seeing the little maidservant beside her coming over here, she knew it was time for dinner, so she interrupted the farce between the father and son.

The little maid came forward and bowed to the masters, saying, "Madam, Master, Young Master, Miss Qin, the food is ready, but please eat now."

Shen Zhimu waved his hand and said, "I'm tired after running all day. Let's have dinner."

As soon as the group sat down, the servants began to serve the food.

As the dishes were served, the maids announced the names of the dishes.

“Baked pigeon in casserole.”

"Home and braised pork."

“Sweet and Sour Squirrel Mandarin Fish.”

"Secret ribs."

“Dry fried shrimp.”

"Home and veal."

"Beijing-style shredded pork with soy sauce."

"Honey glutinous rice lotus root."

“Stir-fried mushrooms.”

"Three fresh vegetables."

"Peanut butter."

……

As the tempting dishes were served on the table, there was a large empty space in the middle of the table. Everyone was curious and looking forward to what the main dish would be.

Then a maid came up with a big plate, and on the plate was a cake.

There are several eye-catching peony flowers on the cake, and a big longevity peach in the middle.

Not only Madam Shen, but everyone else was staring at the cake with curiosity.

Madam Shen turned her head and looked at Shen Teng: "What is this?"

Shen Teng smiled awkwardly. It was the first time he had seen this. "Let the little cook speak for herself."

In the kitchen, Ye Shian stretched his body lazily: "Finally done."

It is not easy to make this table of dishes, especially the cake. Fortunately, she has a foundation in oil painting, otherwise she would not be able to make it.

Just as she was about to take a rest, she heard a maid calling her at the kitchen door.

Well, don’t rest yet, go meet the person first.

Taking off her apron, Ye Shian let down her tied hair as she walked.

Dining room.

As soon as Ye Shian came in, he clasped his hands together and said auspicious words: "Ye Shian wishes the old lady good fortune as vast as the East Sea, longevity as great as the Southern Mountains, endless happiness, endless joy, constant laughter, and longevity!"

Qin Jingzhi, who was sitting below, turned around when she heard the voice and saw that it was the girl who sold her the cloisonné enamel bracelet last time. She subconsciously retracted her hand.

Old Madam Shen laughed and said, "Okay, okay, this girl can speak, I like it."

Shen Teng looked proud again: "Ye Shian, my grandma said she likes you, why don't you say thank you quickly."

Ye Shian: "Thank you for the compliment, old lady."

Old Madam Shen smiled and asked, "Did you cook all these dishes?"

Ye Shian nodded: "I did it all."
